【答案】 reporter；acts；She；feel；the funniest；stop/ help；the most creative；worst；although/ though；sang
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了学校礼堂的一场很棒的才艺表演。
（1）句意： 嗨，孩子们！我叫吉姆。我是我们校报的记者。不定冠词a后是名词单数，report是动词，reporter是名词，故填 reporter。
（2）句意： 有十五个表演。基数词fifteen后是名词复数，act是可数名词，故填 acts。 （3）句意： 她是音乐俱乐部中最好的一个。 此处用人称代词主格she指代Linda，故填 She。
（4）句意： 美妙的音乐让我感到舒适，我沉浸其中。make sb do，故此处是动词原形，comfortable是感觉到舒服，feel是动词，感觉，故填 feel。
（5）句意： 史蒂夫和他的狗最有趣。根据上文有十五个表演，可知是最高级比较范围，were系动词后是形容词，fun是名词，funny是形容词，最高级前有the定冠词，故填 the funniest。
（6）句意： 当他们唱歌时，我禁不住笑出来。can't stop/help doing，固定搭配，禁不住做某事，故填 stop/ help。
（7）句意： 维拉肯定是个最有创造力的演员。 根据上文有十五个表演，可知是最高级比较范围，was系动词后是形容词，creative是多音节形容词，最高级前有the most ，故填 the most creative。

（9）句意： 尽管他玩得很小心，开始他很糟糕，不停地掉球！根据 kept dropping the balls 不停地掉球和 he played carefully他玩得很小心，可知此处表示让步关系，故是连词尽管，although/ though，是连词，故填 although/ though。
（10）句意： 他们唱了一首好歌。某事过去用一般过去时，sing a song，唱歌，sing的过去式是sang，故填 sang。
【点评】考查语法填空，注意谓语的时态，词性，最高级，连词搭配等多种用法。
2．按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空（每空不多于2个单词）
Mary lived in a small village. One morning, her father took her to her________（uncle） home in town. She had ________good time there.

She________（put） her hand into the jar and wanted to take five________ （piece）. ________she couldn't get her hand out. She turned her hand again________again. At last she let go of four pieces. Then she could pull her hand out of the jar.
【答案】 uncle's；had；left；is；to eat；when；put；piece；But；and
【解析】【分析】本文讲述了Mary从罐子里拿糖，懂得了做人不能太贪婪的故事。 （1）句意：一天早上，她父亲带她去了她叔叔在城里的家。根据uncle和home都是名词，故其前是名词所有格，故填uncle's。
（2）句意：她在那里玩得很开心。描述过去用一般过去时，have a good time，玩得开心，have的过去式是had，故填had。
（3）句意：玛丽晚上走之前，她叔叔给了她一个罐子，说里面有些糖果。 描述过去用一般过去时，leave的过去式是left，故填left。
（4）句意：玛丽晚上走之前，她叔叔给了她一个罐子，说里面有些糖果。直接引语是一般现在时，candy是不可数名词，故there be中的be用is，故填is。
（5）句意：你可以把手伸进罐子里，想吃的时候拿一些。want to do，固定搭配，需要做欧式，故填to eat。
（6）句意：玛丽在火车上看着罐子。在火车上和look是同时发生的，故此处是时间状语从句，故用引导词when，当......的时候，故填when。
（7）句意：她把手伸进罐子里，拿了一块。过了一会儿，她把手伸进罐子里，想拿五块。描述过去用一般过去时，put的过去式是put，故填put。

（9）句意：但她没能把手伸出。根据 hand into the jar和couldn't get her hand out可知，伸进去和拿不出来是转折关系，故用but，但是，故填But。
（10）句意：她一次又一次地把手转过来。again and again，一次又一次，固定搭配，故填and。
【点评】考查语法填空，注意谓语的时态，非谓语动词，词性，连词搭配等多种用法。

【答案】 to；called；men；of；the；Once；watching；came；don't；it 【解析】【分析】这篇短文描写了长城。长城的大小及长城在古代和现代的作用。 （1）句意：在中国北部他从东蜿蜒到西。from...to...，从……到……，古代短语，故答案为：to。
（2）句意：它经常被称作万里长城。句子的主语和谓语之间是被动关系，用被动语态。一般现在时的被动语态，is/am/are+done，故答案为：called。
（3）句意：长城足够宽让十个人肩并肩的走过。ten十个，后面跟可数名词复数，man人，可数名词，故答案为：men。

【答案】 in；to teach；education；well；twice；about；Thanks；Without；how；volunteering
【解析】【分析】文章大意：林是一个善良的女孩，现在在大学读书，他利用业余时间帮助那些没有学好的孩子补习，在他的帮助下，Heart House的影响力越来越大，有很多志愿者去那里工作。林还创建了网站吸引了更多的志愿者。
（1）句意：他总是准备帮助那些处于困境中的人。in trouble固定搭配，处于困境，故答案是in。
（2）句意：同时，他在业余时间Heart House志愿教学。volunteer to do sth.志愿做什么，在这里应使用动词不定式，故答案是 to teach 。

（6）句意：用这种方式，人们将更多的了解有关Heart House 的情况。learn sth about固定搭配，了解有关……的情况，故答案是about。
（7）句意：多亏了林的网站。多亏thanks to，固定搭配，位于句首首字母大写，故答案是Thanks。

（9）句意：教给孩子们如何学习我很快乐。如何how，后跟动词不定式类似宾语从句，故答案是how。
（10）句意：我不会放弃志愿工作。volunteer动词，根据句子结构可知应使用动名词形式， volunteer 的动名词直接加ing，故答案是volunteering。
【点评】考查单词在具体语境中的运用，通读全文了解文章大意，然后根据语法、语境个
固定搭配逐一作答，再读全文核实答案并检查答案。

Many animals are in danger of dying out. We can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least I million animal species disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of terrible news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.
Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes are sold at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity. This irresponsible behaviour not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe \"no buying, no killing\". First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our environment. Third, we should raise people's awareness to protect animals and our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.

C. We should raise people's awareness to protect animals and our environment. D. We should breed wild animals. 【答案】 （1）A （2）C （3）C （4）D
