6.【答案】C
【解析】
7.【答案】D
【解析】
考查形容词．A创造性的．B慷慨的．C谦虚的．D有组织的、有条理的．结合语境"--我们的班长林涛把他的东西收拾得井井有条．--没错，他很___，我们应该向他学习．"．可知，应该是"有条理的"．
故选：D．
--我们的班长林涛把他的东西收拾得井井有条．
--没错，他很有条理，我们应该向他学习．
形容词的种类有很多，要根据具体语境选择适当的形容词．抓住关键词语，分析用法，完成试题．
8.【答案】A
【解析】
9.【答案】A
【解析】

10.【答案】D
11.【答案】C
12.【答案】D
【解析】
答案：D；
根据语境以及上下文，本题考查的是连词的用法．根据题干结合
They don't fit me可以推断设空处句子表达的意思是"它们不适合我．它们要么太大要么太小．"，表示"或者…或者…"用短语either or；注意：neither…nor…表示"既不…也不…"，both…and…表示"…和…都（两者）"；not only，but also，表示"不仅…而且…"都不符合句意．故选D．
--你觉得这两件外套怎么样？
--它们不适合我．它们要么太大要么太小．
本题主要考查连词的用法，连词在句子中主要起联系上下文的作用，他们之间的区别就是表示逻辑关系的不同，所以在解题时先要理解上下文含义，然后根据上下文逻辑关系选择合适的连词．连词的用法都比较多，语义之间还有交叉，熟记其基本应用规则，了解其区别，注意固定搭配对象，是做好此类题型的关键．
13.【答案】C
14.【答案】A
15.【答案】D
【解析】
答案：D．根据He hardly spent any time on his subjects，_______？，可知本句考查了反义疑问句，反义疑问句的结构遵循前肯定后否定或者前否定后肯定，前后人称、时态一致的原则，在这里hardly本身是表示否定概念的单词，所以后面的疑问句应该用肯定形式，在这里spent是一个实意动词，所使用的是过去式，所以小疑问句应该相应的加助动词did；对反意疑问句的回答，无论问题的提法如何，如果事实是肯定的，就用yes+简短肯定句，事实是否定的，就要用no+简短否定句．要特别注意陈述句部分是否定结构，反意疑问句部分用肯定式提问时，回答yes或no与汉语意思正好相反，在这里
so he does badly in his lessons，可知他的功课非常糟糕，那么事实应该是否定的，用No来回答，故选D．
--他几乎没有花费任何时间在他的功课上，是吗？
--是的．因此他的功课非常糟糕．
本题考查了反义疑问句的有关知识．解答时注意其主要形式：陈述部分肯定式+疑问部分否定式；陈述部分否定式+疑问部分肯定式．
16.【答案】A
17.【答案】D
【解析】
答案：D．
根据Tom has difficulty Chinese so he asks me help．汤姆在汉语方面有困难，因此他向我寻求帮助．可知"在某方面有困难"用短语have difficulty doing sth；"向某人寻求帮助"是ask sb．for help．故选D．
汤姆在汉语方面有困难，因此他向我寻求帮助．
非谓语动词其考查量多、面广，几乎是必考的一个知识点；结合题干仔细研究，找出词眼，把其固定用法记牢，在应用时就能作出准确的判断，选出正确的选项．

Thank you very much for telling me about your problems．
You feel stressed，

There's nothing wrong with exam， I think．But don't care too much about your marks after each exam． Why not try to learn to relax？ you can wear orange clothes more often． It rep resents joy． When you are feeling sad， orange can cheer you up．
I also advice you to go walking in the hills with your friends at the weekend． And talking to your parents about your school life and stress is a good idea，too．
I hope you think my advice is worth taking．
Best wishes，
Ada
