Ⅲ.阅读理解(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
Last year, I went to a summer camp in the USA with my classmates. It was my first time to go abroad.
I lived with a host family in Los Angeles for five days. My host family were friendly and gave me lots of advice. For example, they said I should say “excuse me” if I have to interrupt(打断) someone or ask for directions.
I also took some classes. They were different from the classes I had taken in China. In the USA, each class is like a seminar. Students join in groups, speaking freely and creating a cheerful atmosphere(氛围). I had to work hard to learn more vocabularies, so I could better communicate with my international classmates. I used to pay little attention to my word usage(使用), but now I pay more attention.
During my visit, I also went to some famous universities in Boston, New York and Washington. We learned about the history behind the universities. At MIT(麻省理工学院), we saw lots of names on a wall in the hall. The tour guide told us they were the names of students who had lost their lives during wars. I was inspired(鼓舞) by the fact that they fought for their country.

详解详析

2．C　考查现在完成时。根据句意“由于寒冷的天气，那条可怜的狗已经死了几个小时了”可知，句中的谓语动词应用延续性动词，故选C。
3．B　考查动词的时态。句意：2009年她爷爷买了一辆小汽车，他拥有这辆车已经10年了。“in 2009”是过去的时间状语，故第一空用bought；由“for 10 years”可知，第二句需要用现在完成时，且需要用延续性动词have代替buy。故选B。
4．C
5．B　考查have been to与have gone to，yet与already的用法区别。have been to sp表示 “曾经去过某地(已经回来了)”；have gone to sp表示“已经去某地了(但还没回来)”。already常用于肯定句；yet常用于否定句或疑问句。由句意可知选B。
6．D　7.D　8.D　9.D
10．C　how far意为“多远”，对距离、路程提问；how soon意为“多久”，对将来一段时间提问；how long 意为“多长；多久”，对长度或一段时间提问；how old 意为“多大”，用来提问年龄。由答语“超过10年了”可知问句是对时间段进行提问。故选C。

14．D　考查动词。由语境可知，问题从由于糟糕的天气飞机延迟起飞就开始了。故选D。
15．C　考查连词。句意：他们直到深夜才能动身离开。not…until…意为“直到……才……”。故选C。

17．D　18.A　19.C
