beassociatedwith...“与……有关”。2．Thoughwearelivingabetterlife,Ican'tbear________(see)foodthrownaway.答案：seeing can'tbeardoing...“不能忍受做某事”。3．Whatwasitthatdistinguishedher________herclassmates?答案：from

bearinmindthat...“记住……”。5．Theserviceoffersyoungpeople________(practice)adviceonfindingajob.答案：practical 此处应用形容词修饰其后的名词advice。practical“实用的；实际的；实践的”。6．Weallhavean________(expect)thathecanpassthedrivingtestnextweek.答案：expectation 由空前的冠词可知应填名词。7．Inmyopinion,onlybyfacingdifficultiesbravelyand________(seize)opportunitiescanonesucceed.答案：seizing 该句为“only＋状语”位于句首引起倒装的句式。face与seize为and连接的两个并列成分，且均作by的宾语，故由facing可知应填seizing。8．Itwasnotuntilshegothome________Jenniferrealizedshehadlostherkeys.答案：that 该句为含有notuntil的强调句。由该句型“Itis/was＋notuntil...＋that＋其他”可知，应填that。9．She________(tap)meontheshoulderbutIdidn'tfeelit.答案：tapped 由but连接并列成分可知，设空处动词在句中作谓语；且后面并列句的谓语为didn't...，所以空格处也应用一般过去时，应填tapped。10．Pricesofdailygoods________(buy)throughacomputercanbelowerthanstoreprices.答案：bought 过去分词短语在句中作后置定语修饰goods。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。9\nIamasocialworker.Iwantedtotelleveryoneaboutmyverydearfriendwhopassedawayafewmonthsago.Imethimmanyyearsagowhiledoingmyinternship(实习期)inthecountryprison.Hewas__1__aprogramhehaddesignedtohelpprisonerswithdrugandalcoholproblems.Hewasalways__2__newwaystobringhopeandhelptothesemenandtheir__3__.Oneofhisfavorite__4__wastheToyDrive.HewouldruneveryChristmasforthechildrenoftheprisoners.Hedidthisfortwentyyears__5__hissuddendeath.AslastChristmas__6__，Idecidedthatthistraditionhadtobe__7__，forthechildrenaswellasthe__8__ofmyfriend.Butthefilewherehekeptthenamesofthepeoplewhohadbeenhelpedbyhimovertheyearswas__9__.Ihadtostartanew(重新)andwithverylittle__10__！Istartedmakingphonecalls，explainingabouttheprojectandmy__11__.Iprayedeverynightthattheeventwould，__12__，beworthyofmyfriend.Tomygreat__13__，individuals，churchesandbusinessesbegantocomeonboardand，__14__，Ihadenoughtoystogivetoallthechildrenoftheprisonerswithsomeleftoverforthelocalcommunity__15__！WhenChristmasEvefinallyarrived，Ifeltveryhappy，thinkingIhaddoneallIcoulddoandreflectingonwhata(n)__16__ithadbeenforme.Iwasbagginguptheremainingtoys__17__iftherewasanyoneleftwhomightlikethem.Thenmyphonerang.Itwasmydaughter.She__18__toexplainaboutawomansheknewinKentuckywhohadfivechildren，oneseriouslyill，nohusband，noheatinginthehome，notoys！Oh！Howcouldwenot?MydaughterandIdroveallnight，fromNewYorktoKentucky,andthosechildrenwokeupinanicewarmhousewithplentyof__19__！Myfriend's__20__ofkindnesslivedonthatyear，reachingallthewaytoKentucky!1．A.recordingB．attendingC．directingD．improving2．A.puttingupwithB．comingupwithC．keepingupwithD．catchingupwith3．A.groupB．familyC．companyD．club9\n4．A.eventsB．sportsC．hobbiesD．games5．A.afterB．sinceC．becauseD．until6．A.arrivedB．followedC．approachedD．finished7．A.carriedoutB．livedonC．carriedonD．livedout8．A.benefitB．memoryC．pleasureD．favor9．A.activeB．extraC．hidingD．missing10．A.timeB．pressureC．energyD．confidence11．A.difficultiesB．impressionC．importanceD．atmosphere12．A.otherwiseB．howeverC．somehowD．though13．A.curiosityB．disappointmentC．reliefD．thought14．A.eventuallyB．occasionallyC．absolutelyD．generally15．A.inparticularB．aswellC．oncemoreD．atfirst16．A.honorB．pityC．burdenD．discovery17．A.predictingB．wonderingC．evaluatingD．realizing18．A.droveB．cameC．returnedD．called19．A.chocolatesB．candiesC．toysD．flowers20．A.spiritB．positionC．courageD．attention9\n【解题导语】本文主要讲述了作者多年前在实习期间被朋友帮助他人的精神所感动，而在朋友逝世后继续朋友的活动以使朋友的精神得以延续的感人故事。【核心词汇】filen．文件箱，文件夹 reflectv．反射，仔细思考 remainingadj.剩余的，留下的1．C 根据下文的“HewouldruneveryChristmasforthechildrenoftheprisoners”，并与空后的“program”呼应可推知，作者的朋友当时负责这样的一个项目。record“记录，记载”；attend“参加，出席，到场”；improve“提升”；direct“负责，管理”。2．B

根据语境可推知，作者的朋友坚持了20年，一直做这样的活动，直到最后自己突然离逝。6．C 根据语境可知，朋友去世后，在上一个圣诞节来临之际，作者准备把这个圣诞传统继续下去，且与下文的“WhenChristmasEvefinallyarrived”呼应。approach“临近”。7．C

根据下文的“Ihadtostartanew(重新)andwithverylittle__10__”可推知，之前朋友所帮助过的人的信息都丢失了，作者不得不重新获取。extra“额外的，另外的”；missing“找不到的，丢失的”。10．A 根据上文的“AslastChristmas__6__，Idecidedthatthistraditionhadtobe__7__，forthechildrenaswellasthe__8__ofmyfriend”可知，圣诞节马上来临了，作者找到朋友帮助过的人的信息的时间并不多。pressure“压力”；energy“能量”；confidence“信心”。9\n11．A

根据上文的“withsomeleftoverforthelocalcommunity”可推知，作者收集到的玩具不仅够活动本身用，还有剩余。inparticular“尤其，特别”；aswell“也”；oncemore“再一次”；atfirst“开始”。16．A 根据上文的“Ifeltveryhappy”可推知，作者成功地举办了圣诞节活动，感觉能够为逝去的朋友做些值得的事是很大的荣幸。honor“荣誉，荣幸”；pity“可惜”；burden“负担”；discovery“发现”。17．B 根据上文的“Iwasbagginguptheremainingtoys”，并与本句中的if条件句呼应可推知，作者想知道是否有人喜欢剩余的玩具。predict“预计”；wonder“想知道”；evaluate“评估”；realize“实现，意识到”。18．D 根据上文的“Thenmyphonerang”和“Itwasmydaughter”可知，是作者的女儿打来了电话。19．C 根据语境可推知，作者和女儿一路驱车去很远的地方给孩子们送圣诞节玩具。20．A 根据上文可知，作者的朋友已经逝世，作者通过把其生前的活动继续下去，让这种仁慈的精神继续存活。spirit“精神”。四、单句改错1．Thesoundofseagullscalledonhappymemoriesofhischildhoodholidays._____________________________________________________答案：on→up

setaboutdoing...＝setouttodo...9\n“着手/开始做……”。4．Theboyknockdownbythecarwasimmediatelytakentothenearbyhospital.___________________________________________________答案：knock→knocked 过去分词短语在句中作后置定语，修饰theboy,表被动，故应把knock改为knocked。5．Theteacher'sabruptlyendingspeakingcanmakesomestudentsfocustheirattentionontheirlistening.____________________________________________________答案：abruptly→abrupt 修饰动名词短语endingspeaking应用形容词，故将abruptly改为abrupt。五、七选五Yourfirststeptowardhealthylivingistogetahandleonyourhealthstatusrightnow.Here’syourto－dolist：Assessyouractivity.Howmuchphysicalactivitydoyougetinatypicalweek?1.？Howmuchvarietydoyougetinyouractivity,andhowmuchdoyouenjoyit?TheCDCrecommendsthatadultsgetatleasttwoandahalfhoursperweekofmoderate－intensityaerobicactivityoronehourand15minutesperweekofvigorous－intensityaerobicactivity,plusmuscle－strengtheningactivityatleasttwodaysperweek.Keepafooddiary.Writedowneverythingyoueatforaday—andnofairskippingtheitemsyou’reembarrassedabout.“2.，”saysKathianneSellersWilliams,MEd,RD,anutritionist,wellnesscoach,andpersonaltrainerwithCafePhysiqueinAtlanta.“Youcan’tchangewhatyou’renotawareofordon’tacknowledge.”Checkyourmoodandenergy.Healthylivingincludesemotionalwellnessandadequaterest.Howhasyourmoodbeenlately?3.？Doyouusuallysleepwellforseventoeighthoursanight?4．.Howstrongareyourconnectionswithfamilyandfriends?Areyoupluggedintosocialorspiritualgroupsthatenrichyourlife?“Peoplehaveafundamentalneedforpositiveandlastingrelationships，”C．NathanDeWall,assistantprofessorofpsychologyattheUniversityofKentucky,tellsWebMD.9\nIfyou’renotthrilledwiththeanswerstosomeofthosequestions,rememberthatthepointistofigureoutwhereyouaretodaysoyoucansetyourhealthylivinggoals.It’snotaboutbeing“good”or“bad”，“right”or“wrong”.5..A．HowintenseisthatactivityB．ConsideryoursocialnetworkC．TheideaistowriteitdownwithoutjudgmentD．It’stimetolearnsomethingaboutthesocialappsE．It’sOKifyouleaveoutsomeitemsinyourfooddiaryF．ItistheawarenessofyourownstateofhealththatmattersG．Areyouexperiencinganysymptomsofdepressionoranxiety【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了掌握自身健康状况的方法。1．A 解析：根据该段主题句“Assessyouractivity.”以及关键词activity可知A项与此处匹配。A项与“Howmuchphysicalactivitydoyougetinatypicalweek？”及“Howmuchvarietydoyougetinyouractivity,andhowmuchdoyouenjoyit？”为并列问句。2．C 解析：根据空前的“Writedowneverythingyoueatforaday—andnofairskippingtheitemsyou’reembarrassedabout.”可知，空处应讲的是不做评判地记下一天要吃的食物。所以C项正确。3．G 解析：空前一句“Howhasyourmoodbeenlately？”中的关键词mood与G项中的“anysymptomsofdepressionoranxiety”相呼应；G项与空后的“Doyouusuallysleepwellforseventoeighthoursanight？”为并列问句。4．B 解析：根据空后的“Howstrongareyourconnectionswithfamilyandfriends?Areyoupluggedintosocialorspiritualgroupsthatenrichyourlife？”和“Peoplehaveafundamentalneedforpositiveandlastingrelationships”可知，本段主要讲述的是要有社交活动，B项中的“socialnetwork”与此呼应。所以选B。5．F 解析：根据空前的“It’snotaboutbeing‘good’or‘bad’，‘right’or‘wrong’．”可知，选F项“意识到你自身的健康状况是很重要的”。9
