B．wireC．kind D．sort答案：A根據(jù)最后一段最后一句中的“thelineofappletrees”可知，“我”沿著籬笆種了一行蘋果樹(shù)。line意為“排列，行”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選A。2．A.divides B．partsC．departs D．separates答案：D此處指籬笆把“我們”兩家的花園隔開(kāi)。divide通常指把整體分成若干部分，其后接介詞into。separate指把原來(lái)各自獨(dú)立但混在一起的東西分隔開(kāi)來(lái)，其后常接介詞from。故答案選D。3．A.part B．delightC．pride D．place答案：B看見(jiàn)自己的孩子坐在草坪上，家長(zhǎng)應(yīng)會(huì)很高興。takedelightin是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“以……為樂(lè)”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選B。4．A.seating B．satC．sitting D．seat答案：C根據(jù)所給選項(xiàng)可知，此處意為“坐在草坪上”，twochildren與sit之間為邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，應(yīng)用其現(xiàn)在分詞形式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，故C項(xiàng)正確。5．A.watched B．noticedC．seen D．looked答案：B根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指或許你也注意到了“我”的蘋果樹(shù)越過(guò)了籬笆。notice意為“注意到”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選B。6．A.lookdownat B．lookdownuponC．lookupto D．lookupat答案：A根據(jù)對(duì)本句的理解可知，這里運(yùn)用了擬人的手法，指蘋果樹(shù)越過(guò)了籬笆，饒有興趣地俯視著你的孩子們。lookdownat意為“低頭看，俯視”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選A。7．A.profit B．goodC．interest D．taste答案：C根據(jù)上文中的“withinterest”可知，此處指你的孩子有時(shí)似乎會(huì)回應(yīng)蘋果樹(shù)對(duì)他們的興趣，這是很自然的。此處是偷摘蘋果的委婉說(shuō)法。interest意為“興趣”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選C。8．A.just B．evenC．a(chǎn)nd D．but答案：D此處構(gòu)成固定搭配notonly...but(also)...，意為“不僅……而且……”。故答案選D。9．A.picking B．takingC．eating D．having答案：A根據(jù)后面的賓語(yǔ)“alltheapplesthathangoveron__10__sideofthefence”可知，此處是“摘蘋果”的意思。pick意為“采，摘”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選A。10．A.our B．hisC．your D．their答案：C根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，鄰居家孩子摘的自然是越過(guò)籬笆伸到他們家花園里的蘋果枝上的蘋果。本文是一封信，應(yīng)用第二人稱稱呼鄰居。故答案選C。11．A.from B．ofC．for D．with答案：B根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指“我”厭煩了日復(fù)一日地看見(jiàn)你的孩子將樹(shù)枝從蘋果樹(shù)上扯下來(lái)。此處是介詞用于固定結(jié)構(gòu)中，即betiredofdoingsth.，意為“厭煩，厭倦做某事”。故答案選B。12．A.evenif B．eventhoughC．incase D．a(chǎn)sif答案：D根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，孩子們將樹(shù)枝扯斷，使樹(shù)看上去就像經(jīng)歷過(guò)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)一般。asif意為“似乎，好像”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選D。13．A.mornings B．a(chǎn)fternoonsC．evenings D．nights答案：A根據(jù)句中的關(guān)鍵詞“wakingup”可知，此處應(yīng)指早晨醒來(lái)。故答案選A。14．A.alittlelarger B．muchlargerC．muchsmaller D．muchfewer答案：C根據(jù)下文描述的鄰居的孩子半夜爬到樹(shù)上摘蘋果可知，連“我”這邊的蘋果也少了很多，排除A、B兩項(xiàng)。number與small搭配，不與few搭配。故答案選C。15．A.voice B．noiseC．whisper D．scream答案：B根據(jù)上文中的“Iwaswoken”可知，“我”是被孩子們的吵鬧聲吵醒的。noise意為“噪聲，吵鬧聲”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選B。16．A.jumping B．beatingC．biting D．climbing答案：D根據(jù)下文中的“chasedthemhome”可知，應(yīng)是爬上蘋果樹(shù)摘蘋果。climb意為“爬；攀登”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選D。17．A.nor B．orC．so D．a(chǎn)nd答案：A此處構(gòu)成固定用法“neither...nor...”，意為“……和……都不”。故答案選A。18．A.after B．untilC．before D．unless答案：C根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，去年蘋果樹(shù)上沒(méi)有結(jié)出一個(gè)蘋果，因?yàn)樵谔O果開(kāi)始生長(zhǎng)之前鄰居家篝火的煙毀壞了所有的蘋果花。before意為“在……之前”，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選C。19．A.can B．willC．could D．would答案：B根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“nextyear”和前一分句中的“shall”可知，此處用一般將來(lái)時(shí)，故用will。故答案選B。20．A.a B．a(chǎn)nC．the D．no答案：A此處是抽象名詞具體化，apride意為“一件令人驕傲的事”。此處指來(lái)年看見(jiàn)一行蘋果樹(shù)會(huì)令“我們”都覺(jué)得驕傲。故答案選A。Ⅱ.閱讀理解ADujiangyanistheoldestman-madewatersystemintheworld,andawonderinthedevelopmentofChinesescience.Builtover2,200yearsagoinwhatisnowSichuanProvinceinSouthwestChina,thisamazingengineeringachievementisstillusedtodaytoirrigateover6,000squarekilometresoffarmland,takeawayfloodwaterandprovidewaterfor50citiesintheprovince.Inancienttimes,theregioninwhichDujiangyannowstandssufferedfromregularfloodscausedbyoverflowfromtheMinjiangRiver.Tohelpthevictimsoftheflooding,LiBing,theregion'sgovernor,togetherwithhisson,decidedtofindasolution.TheystudiedtheproblemanddiscoveredthattherivermostoftenoverflowedwhenwintersnowatthetopofthenearbyThesimplestfixwastobuildadam,butthiswouldhaveruinedtheMinjiangRiver.SoinsteadLidesignedaseriesofchannelsbuiltatdifferentlevelsalongCuttingthechannelsthroughthehardrockofMountOncethesystemwasfinished,nomorefloodsoccurredandthepeoplewereabletolivepeacefullyandaffluently.Today,Dujiangyanisadmiredbyscientistsfromaroundtheworldbecauseofonefeature.Unlikemoderndamswherethewaterisblockedwithahugewall,DujiangyanstillletswaterflowthroughtheMinjiang篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。全文簡(jiǎn)述了都江堰水利工程的特點(diǎn)及其重要價(jià)值。1．WhatarethebenefitsofDujiangyanaccordingtothefirstparagraph?A．Reducingfloodingandwateringfarmland.B．Protectingthemountainandreducingflooding.C．Wateringfarmlandandimprovingwaterquality.D．Dryingtheriverandsupplyingcitieswithwater.答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，都江堰水利工程帶來(lái)的益處是灌溉、防洪和提供用水。故選A。2．WhatwasthemaincauseoftheMinjiangRiver'sflooding?A．Heavyrains.
