【答案】D
【详解】句意：——我担心我的数学考试。——不要太在意结果，只要你尽力就好。考查名词辨析。sayings

【答案】A
【详解】句意：玛丽已经学习许多关于四川的历史为了能成为一名导游。考查从属连词辨析。so that 因此，
以便；as soon as 一……就……；even if 即使；as long as 只要。句子“Mary has learned a lot about the history of
Sichuan”是“she can be a tour guide.”的原因，学习许多关于四川的历史是为了成为导游，表目的。故选 A。

—I agree. I have never heard a ________ voice.
A．well B．better C．good D．best
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——这位新歌手唱得非常好。——我同意。我从来没有听到过比这更好的声音。
考查比较级。well 健康的；better 更好的；good 好的；best 最好的。 根据对话内容可知，本空所在的句子
表示从来没有听过比这位歌手更好听的声音了，显然二者进行的比较，应该用比较级。故选 B。
24．It will be much ________ if you take my advice.
A．easy B．easier C．the easiest D．hard
【答案】B
【详解】句意：如果你听我的劝告，事情就容易多了。考查比较级。空前有“much”修饰，此处应用比较级

A．loudly B．happily C．easily D．wisely

【详解】句意：很多年轻人被称为月光族，因为他们不知道如何明智地花钱，结果月底之前就花完了。
考査副词词义辨析。loudly 大声地；happily 高兴地；easy 容易地；wisely 明智地。根据“have run out of it by
the end of a month 月底之前就花完了”可知，很多年轻人不知道如何明智地花钱。故选 D。
26．—How can you improve your English so much

A．harder; much B．more hardly; more C．harder; greater D．harder; great
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——你怎么能把英语提高这么多？——没有什么困难。你越努力，你就会取得更大的进步。
考查比较级。根据“ The...you work at it, the...progress you’ll make.”可知，此句是“the+比较级……， the +比
较级……”的句型，表示“越……就越……”。hardly 几乎不；hard 努力地，激烈地，其比较级为 harder；
great 大的，其比较级为 greater。故选 C。
27．This question is ________ more difficult than that one.
A．so B．quite C．a little D．very
【答案】C
【详解】句意：这道题比那道题稍微难一点。考查副词辨析。so 因此；quite 相当；a little 一点儿；very 非
常。根据“more difficult”可知，此处是比较级，应该用 a little 修饰。故选 C。

A．the more worst B．more worse C．the worst D．much worse
【答案】D
【详解】句意：这台黑色电视机比其他电视机便宜一点，但比其他电视机差得多。我不想买。
考查形容词的比较级。由“than”可知，此处应使用比较级；根据“I don’t want to buy it.”可知，这里表达它比
其他的差，bad“差的”的比较级为 worse，意为“更差的”；much 修饰比较级，加强语气。故选 D。
29．—I ate ________ vegetables and ________ meat than I did last year.
—That’s why you are getting fatter.
A．fewer; more B．more; less C．less; more D．many; much
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——我比去年吃的蔬菜少了，肉吃更多了。——那就是为什么你变得更胖了。
考查形容词比较级。fewer 更少；more 更多；less 更少；many 很多；much 许多。根据 than 可知要用比较
级，故排除 D。根据常识可知蔬菜吃少了肉吃多了就发胖，故排除 B。fewer 修饰可数名词；而 less 修饰
不可数名词。vegetable 可数，应该用 fewer 来修饰，故选 A。
30．—_________ milk do you want
—A little, thanks.
A．How many B．How much C．What D．Which
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——你想要多少牛奶？——一点，谢谢。考查疑问词辨析。How many 多少，后接可数名
词复数；How much 多少，后接不可数名词；What 什么；Which 哪一个。根据答句“A little”可知是对牛奶
的量的提问，milk 是不可数名词，用 How much 提问。故选 B。

D
Are you too shy
Are you shy sometimes The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to
come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at
me.”
Do you feel the same as Liu Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel
afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids
are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel
yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.
In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and
talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because
they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go
outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some
experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working
with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let
good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken
English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.
61．________ of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.
A．Less than 80% B．More than 80% C．Less than 60% D．All
62．What does the underlined word “frightened” mean
A．兴奋的 B．勇敢的 C．自信的 D．害怕的
63．What can we learn from the third paragraph
A．Shyness can’t stop you from doing something you want to do.
B．Being shy isn’t a very big problem.
C．If shyness stops you from doing something you want to do, it is bad for you.
D．All kinds of shyness are good for you.
64．Why are shy people smarter according to some experts
A．Because they are good at working.
B．Because they think less and talk more.
C．Because they think more and talk less.
D．Because they can speak in front of others.
65．What’s the passage mainly about
A．Shyness is bad for everyone.
B．Shyness is not all bad and we should be brave.
C．Shyness is good for everyone.
D．We should practise spoken English by ourselves.
【答案】61．B 62．D 63．C 64．C 65．B
【导语】本文主要介绍了不同程度的害羞对人的影响，并建议读者不要害怕，不要畏惧与人沟通和展示自
己，要大胆一点。
61．细节理解题。根据“Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be
the centre of attention.”可知，80% 以上的中学生害怕成为关注的焦点。故选 B。
62．词义猜测题。由“Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the
centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people.”可知，frightened 的意思
与 afraid 意思相近，为“害怕的”，故选 D。
63．推理判断题。根据第三段的描述可以推断，如果害羞阻止你做你想做的事情，那么它对你不好。故选
C。
64．细节理解题。根据“Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less.”可知，
一些专家认为，害羞的人更聪明，因为他们想得更多，说得更少。故选 C。
65．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了不同程度的害羞对人的影响，并建议读者不要害怕，不要畏惧与人沟通
和展示自己，要大胆一点。故选 B。

sister. Audrey’s mom found my mom on the Internet. After they had 68 serious talk, they decided to let
Audrey and me know about this.

of the same build and height. We both 72 glasses and we both have long hair. As we talked, I found that we
were alike in more ways. We are both outgoing and funny. We both like 73 , such as running, swimming and
table tennis. We talk and laugh in the same way. Our 74 subject is the same, too. It’s math. We both hope to
enter the same university to study math.
It’s great to have a twin sister, but sometimes I get a little sad because we’ re 75 busy that we can’t
visit each other often. Luckily, we can chat through WeChat. I hope to visit Audrey this summer vacation. I can’t
wait to see her again!

Are you too shy
Are you shy sometimes The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to
come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at
me.”
Do you feel the same as Liu Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel
afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids
are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel
yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.
In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and
talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because
they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go
outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some
experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working
with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let
good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken
English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.
