【解析】
30．句意：这个男孩对这个故事感兴趣。他总是来这里听。根据“He always came here to listen to it”可知，他对故事感兴趣，be interested in“对……感兴趣”。故填interested in。
31．句意：汤姆经常缺课。be absent from“缺席”，固定搭配。故填absent from。
32．句意：你戒烟了吗？这对你的健康有害。由“bad for your health”可知，此处表示“对健康有坏处”，give up“放弃”，此处是现在完成时，give的过去分词是given。故填given up。
33．句意：虽然老人经常发脾气，但他的儿媳对他还是很有耐心。Though引导让步状语从句，由“often became
angry”可知，老人总是生气，后句和前句构成转折，be patient with“对……有耐心”。故填patient with。

一、单项选择
1．—Look! The goldfish is dying.
—What a pity! This kind of goldfish________a lot of care and attention.
A．has B．offers C．requires D．receives
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——看，这条金鱼就要死了。——多么遗憾！这种金鱼需要大量的关心和关注。
考查动词辨析。has有；offers提供；requires需要；receives收到，接受；根据句意可知，金鱼需要得到关心和关注。主语为This kind of goldfish。可知谓语动词用第三人称单数。故选C。
2．This photo often makes me __________ of my teachers in primary school.
A．think B．thinks C．to think D．thinking
【答案】A
【详解】句意：这张照片经常使我想起我小学时候的老师。think 思考，认为；thinks是第三人称单数形式；to think动词不定式；thinking动名词。句中使用的句型是make sb. do sth.使某人做某事，应用动词原形，think of想起，是固定短语。故选A。
3．---What__________the number of the students in your class
--- About 45. A number of them_________from the countryside.
A．is, are B．is, is C．are, is D．are, are
【答案】A
【详解】句意：-你们班学生的人数是多少？-大约45个，很多人都来自农村。is和are都是be动词的形式，is用于主语是单数的时候；are用于主语是复数的时候。第一句话中主语为the number of…“…的数量”，谓语动词用单数；第二句话中a number of···意为“许多···”，做主语时，谓语动词用复数。故应选A。
4．Jane is very busy these days, for she has a lot of problems to __________.
A．deal with B．keep up with C．agree with D．come up with
【答案】A
【详解】句意：最近简非常忙，因为她有许多问题要处理。
deal with处理，应对；keep up with跟上；agree with同意；come up with提出，想出。根据简很忙可知她有许多问题要处理，故选A。
5．My grandma lived in a ________ village ________, but she didn’t feel ________.
A．lonely; lonely; lonely B．lonely; alone; alone
C．lonely; alone; lonely D．alone; lonely; alone
【答案】C
【详解】句意：我的外祖母独自一人住在一个偏僻的小村庄里，但她并不感到孤独。
考查形容词、副词辨析。alone可作为形容词，还可以作副词，意为“单独；独自”。 lonely意为“孤独的”，表示主观上感到孤独、寂寞，有较浓的感彩，是形容词，在句中作表语或定语，作定语时，意为“荒凉的，偏僻的”，多修饰表示地点的名词。根据题干可知第二个空修饰前面的动词live，所以用副词alone；第一个空，在句中作定语，修饰空后的名词village，表示“偏僻的，荒凉的”，所以用lonely；第三个空，感官动词feel后应接形容词lonely，强调孤独感，有感彩。故选C。
6．My life ________ a lot in the last few years.
A．change B．changed
C．has changed D．have changed
【答案】C
【详解】句意：在过去的几年里我的生活变化很大。
考查动词时态。根据in the last few years可知句子用现在完成时，据主语My life是第三人称单数，因此助动词用has，故选C。
7．My father advises me ______ with my friends once a week.
A．hang out B．to hang out C．hung out D．hangs out
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我的父亲建议我和朋友每周逛一次街。
考查非谓语动词用法。hang out是动词原形；to hang out是动词不定式； hung out是一般过去时态；hangs out一般现在时的单三形。固定搭配advise sb. to do sth.意为“建议某人做某事”，故选B。
二、单词拼写
8．I used to (play) computer games, but I hate them now.
9．He didn’t use to work hard at math, so he often (fail) the math exams.
10．The little boy was afraid of (be) alone at home.

【答案】
8．play 9．failed 10．being 11．to get 12．to read 13．giving 14．to talk 15．has changed 16．wait 17．to help
【解析】
8．句意：我过去经常玩电脑游戏，但是我现在很讨厌他们。play玩，play computer games是固定短语，玩电脑游戏。空前used to的意思是“过去常常”，后面跟动词原形，故填play。
9．句意：他过去不努力学习数学，所以他数学考试经常不及格。fail失败，是一个动词。根据句中He didn't use to work..可知，这里说的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时，故这里填过去式failed。
10．句意：这个小男孩害怕一个人在家。be是，动词原形。空前短语be afraid of的意思是“害怕...”，后面应跟名词或者动名词形式，故这里填being。
11．句意：他们努力地在期末考试中取得好成绩。get 得到，是一个动词。句中谓语动词是tried，原形是try，常用于句型try to do sth.努力去做某事，故这里填动词不定式to get。
12．句意：我们的老师建议我们读很多书来提高我们的学习。read阅读，读，是一个动词。句中谓语动词是advise，建议，常用于句型advise sb. to do sth.建议某人去做某事，因此这里填动词不定式to read。
13．句意：很多次我想着放弃我的数学。give up是固定的短语，放弃。空前thought about即think about是固定短语，想起，后面跟名词或者动名词形式，因此这里填giving。
14．句意：我敢和外国人说话，你呢，李磊？talk谈话，是一个动词。空前的dare意思是“敢”，常用于句型dare to do sth.敢于做某事，故这里填to talk。
15．句意：在过去的几年里我的生活变化了很多。change改变，是一个动词。根据句意和句中时间状语in the last few years可知，这句话说的是从几年前到现在，应用现在完成时态，have/has+动词的过去分词，主语My life是单数，故填has changed。
16．句意：这个保安让这位女士在外面等。wait等，等待，是一个动词。句中使用的句型是make sb. do sth.使某人做某事，因此这里填动词原形。
17．句意：他的父母决定帮助他赢得这场比赛。win赢，是一个动词。句中谓语动词是made a decision，意思是“做决定”，常用于句型make a decision to do sth.，决定去做某事，所以这里填动词不定式to win。
点睛：这个题目考查动词的用法，动词是英语中最重要的一个词类，它涉及的知识点比较多，如动词的时态、被动语态、非谓语动词、情态动词、主谓一致等等。做题时，我们应注意句中使用了哪些句型，时态的话应注意语境和句中的时间状语。例如第2小题考查的是动词时态，根据句中He didn't use to work hard at math可知，这里说的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时态，动词变为过去式failed。再如第8小题，也考查的是动词的时态，这个句子中时间状语很明显in the last few years，应和现在完成时态搭配，故填has changed。这些题目中有很多都考查了非谓语动词的用法，尤其是动词不定式和动名词，如第3小题和第6小题，都考查动名词做介词的宾语；再如第4小题和第5小题考查了动词不定式作宾语或者宾语补足语，这些题目要注意积累这些句型和固定搭配。
三、选词填空

【解析】

19．句意：你敢说我有能力做出这种事吗？根据“I am capable of such an act”可知，前面指“你敢于建议吗？”。dare to“敢于”，符合语境。故填dare to。

It seems to me that families used to eat more meals together. 21 There’s often a TV nearby, or someone’s talking on a cell phone or texting during dinner.
22 We’d wait for everyone to get home, and then we’d all sit down together. During dinnertime conversation, everyone had a chance to talk. Back then, I was a little quiet, so my dad would often ask me to talk about my day. 23
Speaking of taking turns, all of us kids used to take part in either preparing the meal or cleaning up. Sometimes my mom would let me help her in the kitchen. 24 We’d always have fresh food—no fast food or take out.
Now, I won’t pretend (假装) our mealtimes were completely perfect. We used to fight all the time, and sometimes kick each other under the table. 25 Nobody knew exactly what “or else” meant, but we didn’t want to risk finding out.
These days, it seems like families have little time together, especially at mealtimes. However, I wonder if those families know what they’re missing.
A．And it’s the same now.
B．That’s how we learned to share and take turns.
C．I’d wash and cut up vegetables, or things like that.
D．My family always used to eat dinner together, no matter what.
E．And nowadays it is quite different.
F．Then our parents would step in, telling us to “get along or else!”
G．Our parents are always angry with us.

I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra (额外的) help. Still, I suffered (遭受) the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence (自信) came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing: it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later, I decided to learn how to read and write. I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate (有文化的).
Through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life: I am smart enough to dive into (潜入) an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.

There are lots of changes in our town. There is a village called Cang Lang Yuan. It lies in the north of Zaozhuang. It has a population of over 2,000.
There used to be some old and low houses in the village. A lot of houses were built in the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. In the past there was no factory or school there. To our surprise, now there are some new and tall buildings there. There used to be very dirty and narrow streets. Now the streets are very clean and wide. There are lots of young trees and beautiful flowers on both sides of the street. There used to be a polluted pool in front of the village. Now there is a beautiful park there. But there are still some old houses there. They have been protected. People used to listen to the radio for news and weather information. But now they can get them through TV or the
Internet. They are very modern. Now they drive cars to work or travel. Since 1986, there have been great changes in the village. I believe that it will have greater changes in the future. People’s life is getting better and better.

B
It seems to me that families used to eat more meals together. 21 There’s often a TV nearby, or someone’s talking on a cell phone or texting during dinner.
22 We’d wait for everyone to get home, and then we’d all sit down together. During dinnertime conversation, everyone had a chance to talk. Back then, I was a little quiet, so my dad would often ask me to talk about my day. 23
Speaking of taking turns, all of us kids used to take part in either preparing the meal or cleaning up. Sometimes my mom would let me help her in the kitchen. 24 We’d always have fresh food—no fast food or take out.
Now, I won’t pretend (假装) our mealtimes were completely perfect. We used to fight all the time, and sometimes kick each other under the table. 25 Nobody knew exactly what “or else” meant, but we didn’t want to risk finding out.
These days, it seems like families have little time together, especially at mealtimes. However, I wonder if those families know what they’re missing.
A．And it’s the same now.
B．That’s how we learned to share and take turns.
C．I’d wash and cut up vegetables, or things like that.
D．My family always used to eat dinner together, no matter what.
E．And nowadays it is quite different.
F．Then our parents would step in, telling us to “get along or else!”
G．Our parents are always angry with us.
三、任务型阅读
I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra (额外的) help. Still, I suffered (遭受) the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence (自信) came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing: it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later, I decided to learn how to read and write. I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate (有文化的).
Through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life: I am smart enough to dive into (潜入) an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.
