一、单项选择(每题1分,共10分)
1. When you feel helpless and ________, just remember you are not ________ in the world because your friends are around you.
A. alone; lonely B. lonely; alone C. alone; lonely
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：当你感到无助和孤独的时候，只要记住你在这个世界上并不孤单，因为你的朋友都在你身边。
考查形容词辨析。alone孤单的，独自的，只表示一个人，没有感彩；lonely孤独的，有感彩。由feel可知，第一空是有感彩的，应该用lonely；第二空表示“不孤单，不是一个人”，说的是客观情况，没有感彩，应用alone。故选B。
2. There are ________ wonderful movies on TV and the Internet that we don’t need to go to the movie theater on weekends.
A. too many B. so many C. too much
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：电视和网络上有很多精彩的电影，所以我们周末不需要去电影院。
考查词义辨析。too many太多，修饰可数名词；so many如此多的；too much太多，修饰不可数名词。根据“wonderful movies”可知空缺处修饰可数名词，故排除C；根据“that we don’t need to go to the movie theater on weekends”可知，此处为so...that引导的结果状语从句，B选项符合句意。故选B。
3. Our teacher didn’t allow us ________ too much noise because the other students were having an exam.
A. to make B. not to make C. making
【答案】A
【解析】

考查非谓语动词。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，固定短语。故选A。
4. —There is no need for children ________ sports at home.
—I don’t agree. Why don’t they do sports ________ using smart phones
A. to do; take the place of B. to do; instead of C. doing; instead
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——对于孩子来说在家做运动没必要。 ——我不同意。为什么不让他们做运动代替使用智能手机呢？
考查非谓语动词和短语辨析。第一空考查句型There is no need for sb to do sth.意为“某人没有必要做某事”。第二空考查短语辨析，take the place of取代；instead of代替，后接sb，sth或doing sth；instead代替，通常单独使用。第二空不缺谓语，应用介词短语instead of。故选B。
5. ________ the volunteers in our city, the homeless got enough food and clothes.
A. Thanks for B. Thanks to C. Thank you
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：多亏了我们城市的志愿者们，无家可归的人们才有了足够的食物和衣服。

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你能把你的作业借我吗？——对不起，你不能借别人的作业。抄袭别人的作业是错误的。
考查动词辨析。borrow借入；lend借出；keep借，持续性动词。“Can you...me your homework ”可知要借出，用lend；根据“you can’t...homework from others”可知考查borrow sth. from sb.“从某人处借入某物”，故选C。

A. us B. ours C. ourselves
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：当我们帮助他人，看到他们脸上高兴的表情时，我们为我们自己感到骄傲。
考查反身代词。us我们，人称代词宾格形式；ours我们的，名词性物主代词；ourselves我们自己，反身代词。因为主语“we”和宾语指代相同，表达为我们自己骄傲，所以宾语用反身代词。故选C。
8. I’m going travelling to southern cities. Can you ________ me ________ some information about places of interest
A. offer, to B. provide, with C. provide, for
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我打算去南方的城市。你能给我提供一些关于名胜古迹的信息吗？
考查动词短语辨析。offer sth. to sb.把某物提供给某人；provide sb. with sth.给某人提供某物；provide sth. for sb.把某物提供给某人。根据空后的“me…information”可知，B选项的短语合适。故选B。

A. take off B. take after C. take down

考查动词短语。take off起飞；take after像，指在外表、举止、性格方面像某家庭成员；take down取下。根据“My father likes to volunteer to help make cur neighborhood clean and so do I.”可知，我和父亲都喜欢自愿帮助邻居打扫卫生，因此此处是说我像我父亲。故选B。

Back in the days when London was less developed, Big Ben’s mighty chimes (鸣响) could be heard as far as 15 kilometers away.

After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.
After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you can’t seem to get out of.

If you’re planning a trip to London, don’t miss the chance to see Big Ben. Here are some fun facts about Big Ben.
People commonly use “Big Ben” to refer to the whole clock tower, but “Big Ben” is actually a nickname for the clock’s largest bell, which is officially (官方的, 正式的) called the Great Bell.
Big Ben was completed over 160 years ago and the tower holds the world’s second biggest four-faced chiming (报时) clock. It even survived (幸存) bomb attacks (炸弹袭击) during World War Ⅱ.
Each of the four clock faces is around 7 meters wide, with the hour hand that is about 2.75 meters long and the minute hand that is about 4.27 meters long. The Great Bell weighs about 13, 760 kilograms, while the hammer (锤子) that strikes it is about 200 kilograms.
People make sure that the time of the clock is correct, and they do so by winding (上发条) the clock three times a week. Back in the days when London was less developed, Big Ben’s mighty chimes (鸣响) could be heard as far as 15 kilometers away. Today, the sound waves don’t travel as far as before, since they are blocked by the buildings in and around the city.
With any luck, this information will make your first trip to Big Ben more enjoyable. Let’s hope it will be the visit of a lifetime!
