2.play let's后跟动词原形，意为“咱们做……吧”。

5.lazy lazy意为“懒惰的”。句意为“我的宠物整天睡觉，他很懒”。
（二）1. D 由问句Where do you want to go?（你想去哪里?）可知选择D项I want to go to the zoo.（我想去动物园）。
2.F 根据下文的回答I like pandas.可知问句是问 “你喜欢什么动物?”。故选F。
3.B 根据下文Because they are cute and beautiful.可知问句是问为什么，答句的主语是they,故问句应为“你为什么喜欢它们(them)?”,而不是它(it),所以 G项是错误的。
4.E 上文What about you?是问“你喜欢什么动物?。所以选择E项。
5.A 上文Where are they from?是问“它们来自哪里?”。故应选择A项“它们来自澳大利亚”。
（三） 1. friendly 连系动词be后应用形容词，be friendly to sb.意为“对某人友好”。
2.beauty 冠词 the 后应用名词，the beauty of nature 意为“大自然之美”。
3.interesting kind of意为“有点儿”，相当于程度副词，其后接形容词；koalas作从句的主语，故填interesting ,意为“有趣的” 。
4.noisy 连系动词后应用形容词，be noisy意为 “吵闹”。
5.useful 每门学科都是“有用的”。应用形容词useful。
