A
Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village (生态村） in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.21·cn·jy·com
People in Bed ZED have done many things. They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily things. They build many houses whose windows face south in order to get as much sunlight as possible. The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets. Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.
Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you, it’s not! It’s a way of life! We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment, and begin working on ideas to protect it. Life would be much more pleasant if villages like Bed ZED existed (存在) all over the world! Thank you for listening!

期中试题参考答案
I. 1. D动词词组辨析。根据句意：应是创建一所幼儿园。clean up意为：清理；?look up?意为：向上看；give up意为：放弃。21世纪教育网版权所有
2. C every day中不 “包含” Saturdays and Sundays，故应选C。21教育网
3. C考查动词短语的辨析。句意：谢谢您的邀请，但很抱歉我不能去。我需要在家照看孩子。take care of意为“照看；照料”符合句意。而take away“带走”；take off“脱下；起飞”；take out of“从……取出”均与句意不符。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
4. C考查疑问副词的用法。how far表示多远，用于路程提问；how long?表示“（延续）多长时间”，回答用for…或since…引导的时间状语；how often?表示多久一次，指动作的频率；how soon?表示还要多久才…一般用于将来时，回答用“in…”引导的时间状语。由答语“大约一个半小时后”，可知提问多久。故选C。
5. C 由固定短语make sb. do sth.可知答案。

11. C考查状语从句引导词的用法。such…that…, so…that…引导结果状语从句，such后接名词，so后接形容词或副词。too…to…, too后接形容词或副词, to后接动词原形。enough修饰形容词应放在形容词的后面。根据句意：Sally很紧张以至于不敢在同学面前说话。故选C.
12. D考查介词的用法。hand in?上交；on time?按时；in time?及时；根据句意：“老师希望我们每天都能按时交作业”。故选D。
13. B.考查介词短语的用法区别。As a result?是?“结果”，After all是“毕竟”，Best of all意思是“最好的”?，?For example是“例如”，根据句意“不要让他晚上熬夜学得太晚，?他毕竟是个孩子。”所以选B。www.21-cn-jy.com
14. D??考查动词短语用法。used to，过去（常常），其后用动词原形；be used to，习惯于，其后用动名词，故选D。

Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village (生态村） in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.21·cn·jy·com
People in Bed ZED have done many things. They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily things. They build many houses whose windows face south in order to get as much sunlight as possible. The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets. Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.
Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you, it’s not! It’s a way of life! We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment, and begin working on ideas to protect it. Life would be much more pleasant if villages like Bed ZED existed (存在) all over the world! Thank you for listening!

期中试题参考答案
I. 1. D动词词组辨析。根据句意：应是创建一所幼儿园。clean up意为：清理；?look up?意为：向上看；give up意为：放弃。21世纪教育网版权所有
2. C every day中不 “包含” Saturdays and Sundays，故应选C。21教育网
3. C考查动词短语的辨析。句意：谢谢您的邀请，但很抱歉我不能去。我需要在家照看孩子。take care of意为“照看；照料”符合句意。而take away“带走”；take off“脱下；起飞”；take out of“从……取出”均与句意不符。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
4. C考查疑问副词的用法。how far表示多远，用于路程提问；how long?表示“（延续）多长时间”，回答用for…或since…引导的时间状语；how often?表示多久一次，指动作的频率；how soon?表示还要多久才…一般用于将来时，回答用“in…”引导的时间状语。由答语“大约一个半小时后”，可知提问多久。故选C。
5. C 由固定短语make sb. do sth.可知答案。
6. A be supposed to do sth. 意为“应该做某事”。here 前面可用come或be，go与there 连用。
7. C 考查find+it+adj.+to do sth.结构。
8. C考查系动词的用法辨析。look“看起来”；sound“听起来”；taste“尝起来”；feel“感觉”。根据答语“哇，晚饭尝起来很可口。”可知答案选C。www-2-1-cnjy-com
9. B 句意为“他们虽然很累，但很快乐，因为他们最终完成了他们的项目”。从句为让步状语从句，故用although引导从句。
10. D mind后跟动词的-ing形式，否定形式为mind not doing。
11. C考查状语从句引导词的用法。such…that…, so…that…引导结果状语从句，such后接名词，so后接形容词或副词。too…to…, too后接形容词或副词, to后接动词原形。enough修饰形容词应放在形容词的后面。根据句意：Sally很紧张以至于不敢在同学面前说话。故选C.
12. D考查介词的用法。hand in?上交；on time?按时；in time?及时；根据句意：“老师希望我们每天都能按时交作业”。故选D。
13. B.考查介词短语的用法区别。As a result?是?“结果”，After all是“毕竟”，Best of all意思是“最好的”?，?For example是“例如”，根据句意“不要让他晚上熬夜学得太晚，?他毕竟是个孩子。”所以选B。www.21-cn-jy.com
14. D??考查动词短语用法。used to，过去（常常），其后用动词原形；be used to，习惯于，其后用动名词，故选D。
15. A if的条件状语从句,主句用将来时, 从句用一般时态,所以选A

9. B 固定搭配spend….doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，故答案为B。
10. D 固定句型It seems that…..“看起来似乎…..”，故答案为D。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a middle school student. I have recently learned from the newspaper that you are going to build a factory here in my hometown. There is no doubt that it is good for the development of my hometown and it will provide us with more jobs. Most of us stand by the project. However, some of us are worried that the factory will make much noise and pollute the environment of the area. I would like to know whether you have any plans for the environment protection. Would you please offer us more information about it?21·世纪*教育网
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Wang Jun
