答案及解析：
（一）1.C on the left of...为固定短语，意为“在……的左边”。
2.A 句意:在旅馆和公园之间是一家图书馆。该句为倒装句，其主语是a library,故选A。
3.A “沿着……走”为 go down 或 go along； “在……街上”介词用on或in。
4.B There be句型中be的单复数形式要看后面的名词，在该句中trees为复数形式，故be动词用are。
5.C 根据答语It’s on Bridge Street. 可知此处是询问位置，故用疑问副词where对地点进行提问。
6.C across from为固定短语，意为“在……对面”。
（二）1. Where is “Can you tell me the way to the airport?”是问去机场的路，同义句为“Where is the airport?”。
2.Is there There be句型的一般疑问句是将be动词提前，故填Is there。
3.Where is 画线部分为介词短语，表地点，因此用where提问。
4.aren’t any There be句型的否定形式是在be动词的后面直接加not，some 一般用于肯定句，改为否定句后要用any。
5.between,and 原句意为“我坐在杰克的右边，约翰的左边”。由此可推断出“我坐在杰克和约翰之间”。
（三）1. excuse
2.me 由语境可知说话者在打扰别人，应用excuse me。
3.how 说话者在询问“如何”提供帮助。
4.new 根据下文问话可推知，说话者是“新近”来到此地的。
5.near/around 此处是指“近处”的超市。
6.there “Is/Are there. . . ?”的肯定答语为“Yes, there is/are.”。
7.on “在……街/路”用介词on。
8. isn’t 根据No可知，此处应作否定回答，由问句中的 is可知填isn’t。

2.To get to do为动词不定式结构，在句中作目的状语。
3.playing enjoy doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“喜欢做某事”。
4.easily easily为副词，修饰动词get。
5.shopping go shopping为固定短语，意为“去购物”。
6.exercising spend. . . doing sth,为固定搭配，意为“花 费……做某事”。
7.monkeys 根据be动词are可知用复数形式。

3.across across from 意思是“在……对面”；“ My house is across from a hotel on Center Street.”意为 “我家在中心街上,在一家旅馆对面”。
4.between between...and...意为“在……和 ……之间”。“There is a post office between my house and a restaurant. "意为“在我家和一家餐馆之间有一家邮局”。

10.money 前面已经交代过书是免费的；“I don’t need to spend money on the books. ”意为“那些书我不需要花钱”。
（三）l.D 表示“在大街上"应用介词in或on,故选D。
2.C much修饰不可数名词，a lot不能修饰名词， stores为可数名词复数,故排除A、B两项；由上句中的the longest street in town可知，街道上应有许多商店，故选many （许多）。
3.A busy“繁忙的”；free“空闲的”；quiet“安静的”; beautiful“美丽的”。由 the longest street in town 及 many stores on it可推知该句句意为“因此它是一条繁忙的街道”。故选A。
4.B across from“在……对面”，为固定短语，故选B。 句意为“它在我们学校的对面”。
5.A next to“紧挨着”，为固定短语，故选A。句意为 “紧挨着我们学校有一家超市”。

7.D hospital“医院”;bank“银行”；post office“邮局”； restaurant“饭店”。联系下文中的lunch可知，应选D。
8.B go... for lunch“去……吃午饭”，为固定搭配，故选B。
9.A between. . . and... “在……和……之间”，为固定短语，故选A。句意为“它在超市和邮局之间”。
10.B 联系上文中的a good restaurant可知此处应是 “食物很美味”。故选B。
（四）1.B 根据第二句和第四句可知狮子、大象和长颈鹿在the Africa Section,故题干表述错误。
2.A 根据第六句“The giraffes are beautiful and they are so tall. ”可知题干表述正确。
3.A 根据第七句“The Panda House is across from the Africa Section.”可知,题干表述正确。
4.B 根据对the Panda House的介绍可知，盼盼是熊猫宝宝，故题干表述错误。
5.A 根据常识和倒数第三、四句“Behind the Panda House is the Australia Section. The koalas are here.”可知，题干表述正确。
6.C 根据第一段第一句“Mrs. Black lives on North Street.”可知布莱克夫人住在北街。
7.A 由第一段第三句“She wants to send a card to her friend in Toronto,but she doesn’t know where the post office is.”可知答案。
8.B 由第二段第一句中的“The post office is not near from here...”可知，“邮局离这儿不近”，即“邮局离布莱克夫人家远”。
9.A 由第二段内容可知因为邮局离布莱克夫人家远, 把卡片投进邮箱里同样可以寄出，所以她可以把卡片 投进超市前面的邮箱里。
10.D 由第一段中的“She asks her neighbor Mary...”可知,布莱克夫人与玛丽是邻居。
