笔试部分(共八大题,计120分)
I.单项选择(Multiple-choice test)(共20小题,计20分)
A)从各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个与划线部分意思相同或相近的选项。
1.The students are going to have fun learning and speaking English this term.
A.have a lot B.be interesting C.enjoy themselves D.study hard
本题是人教版初二册(上)Lesson 1中的一句话,在课文注释中用enjoy themselves解释have fun,二者均指“过得愉快”,故应选C。
2.Mr and Mrs West flew to New York with their daughter and they lost their lives on September 11th.
A.reached New York by train
B.got to New York by ship
C.went to New York by air
D.arrived in New York by taxi
与fly to意思相同的只能是go by air,故应选C。
3.My full name is James Allan GREen.Green is my family name.
A.first name B.middle name C.given name D.last name
英语中,first name与middle name均属given name,二者指“名”,在前,last name即family name指“姓”,在后。故应选D。
4.I'm sorry,I can't help you.I'm just a small potato.
A.初来者 B.小人物 C.小笨蛋 D.小土豆
本题中的“小土豆”显然是字面意思,“小笨蛋”与句意不符,A、B两项比较,显然“B.小人物”更贴近句意。
5.Paul often goes bananas.Don't stay with him.
A.发疯 B.去摘香蕉 C.碰钉子 D.品头论足
应选A。习语go bananas指“发疯”,“发怒”或“傻里傻气”。
B)选出下列各题的最佳答案。
6.It's a long _______ to Moscow;it's about five thousand kilometres.
A.street B.foot C.way D.end
根据后一句中的“5千公里”,只能是a long way,故选C。
7.Let's go to the classroom to hear what Tina is _______ the little boy.
A.telling B.talking C.speaking D.saying
tell,talk,speak和say都有“说、讲”的意思,但同后面的词搭配习惯不同。talk后不能直接跟宾语;speak的宾语只能是“语言”;say后面一般是接说话的“具体内容”;只有tell能直接跟人作宾语。句子的后半句意思是“去听听Tina正在和那个小男孩讲什么”。答案为A。
8.There is _______ “a”in the word“age”and“e”is the last letter of _______ word.
A.a;the B.an;a C.the;the D.an;the
以元音音素开头的词前用“an”(字母a是元音字母);一个句子中再次提到前面的人或事物时,要用“the”(后面提到的word,是指前面的“age”)。故答案是D。
9.The _______ on the hill are theirs.They feed _______ very well.
A.sheeps;theirs B.sheep;them C.sheeps;their D.sheep;they
sheep单数和复数形式相同;动词feed后应该用能作宾语的宾格代词,答案为B。
10.It is a sunny day today.Look at the _______ sun.It's shining _______ now.
A.most brightly;bright
B.brightly;brighter
C.more brightly;still brighter
D.bright;brightly
本句句意没有“比较”的含义,所以不能用比较级。bright是形容词,brightly是副词,名词sun前必须用形容词,副词用于修饰动词或形容词、副词。brightly在此句中修饰动词。答案是D。
11.Does anybody know there's a beautiful city _______ Tonghua in the northeast of China?
A.named B.calls C.to ring D.phone
本句句意为:有人知道中国东北有个叫通化的美丽城市吗? name用作动词意同call,其后加-ed(过去分词)形式用作后置定语。答案为A。
12.The exam is much too difficult, _______ there is no problem for them to do.
A.but B.so C.and D.for
本题测试的是连词的用法。but(但是)表示“转折”;so(因此),表示“结果”;and(和;又;而)表示“并列”;for(因为)表示“原因”。根据前后句子的意思,前面的“much too difficult”和后面的“no problem”显然是“转折”的关系,答案是A。
13.—There _______ many different kinds of mooncakes.They were small round cakes with meat,eggs,nuts or something sweet inside.
—Oh,so that was they sold at the store.
A.will be;why B.was;how C.were;what D.are;where
本题测试点有三个:(1)动词时态;(2)主谓一致;(3)疑问词。(1)遵循时态前后一致的原则,前一个空应该用一般过去时态,据此,排除A、D;(2)There be后是复数名词时,be也应用复数形式,据此,可初步确定C为正确答案。(3)上文讲的是各种各样的月饼,下文空白处用what较合情理。“that was what they sold at the store意思是:那就是他们在商店卖的东西”进一步验证答案。
14.In this country,it is very _______ in November,but it is much _______ in December.
A.coldest;cold B.colder;colder C.cold;colder D.colder;coldest
本题是对形容词的测试。要点是:very修饰形容词原级,much修饰形容词比较级。答案是C。
15.Max,a five-year-old boy ,had _______ accident _______ days ago.
A.a bit;a little B.a little;a few C.a few;a lot D.a lot;a bit
第一空指一个“小事故”,little是形容词。a little修饰不可数名词;a few修饰可数名词;a bit“少量,一点”,一般用于修饰形容词(a bit of修饰不可数名词);a lot一般用于修饰动词。因此,本题答案是B。
16.Don't read _______ the sun.It's bad _______ your eyes.
A.near;at B.with;to C.in;for D.below;of
本题测试的是两个习语:in the sun(在阳光下)和be bad for sth.(对……有害)。因此,答案是C。
17.— _______ you finish your composition in time?
—I am afraid .
A.Can;not B.May;mustn't C.Must;needn't D.Can;can't
本题是测试情态动词的用法。这几个情态动词中,can用于表示“会”“可能”和“允许”;may也可以用于表示“可能、允许”,二者用于后两个意思时,可以换用,但may比较正式,can比较口语化;must“必须”;needn't“不必”;mustn't“不许,禁止”。根据句意和词语搭配习惯,前一句用can比较恰当。下一句的一个测试点是“恐怕不能”的表达,习惯上用“be afraid not”。因此,答案应该是A。
18.When your friend wants to say good-bye to you at the gate of your house after the evening party,he should say,“ _______ .”
A.See you tomorrow B.Stay where you are C.Don't come this way D.Good evening
根据题干提供的情景,应选告别用语,各选项比较起来看,选A(明天见。)较合情理。
19.— _______ ?
—This is Thomas speaking.
A.Who speaks B.Who's that speaking C.What are you speaking D.Who's going to speak
根据语境,我们能看出,这是测试“打电话”的习惯用语。问对方是谁,应该说:Who's that speaking?自己一方应用this,答案是B。
20.—Good morning,John.Lovely weather,isn't it?
— _______
A.Yes,you are fine.
B.But I don't know it's here.
C.Not very much,I think.
D.Yes,isn't it?
这是一组关于“天气”的对话。“询问天气”是西方人的一种应酬话,也是引起其它话题的一种常用的方法。四个选项中,只有D. Yes,isn't it?能与上句呼应。
