Then you can’t think correctly and can’t do your work correctly. You’ll not be clever.Some people go to bed late and get up late. This is not good for them.

Exercise keeps a strong body.Exercise helps the blood（血液）flow（流动） around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our body. The brain also needs blood.

He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn’t wise(英明的). He didn’t like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom(智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a little in his basket and wished him good luck.Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒)of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he tied(绑) the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again but failed(失败).Then his youngest son walked by, “What are you doing, father?” he asked and Anansi told hi m. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am thewisest person , but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.56.

David．答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】略略略2.【答案】A【解析】略略略3.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．结合选项联系语境可以推断设空处句子的句意是"我太饿了，我可以吃点什么吗？"，首先根据修饰不定代词需用用动词不定式作后置定语，此处的一般疑问句是希望得到肯定回答，所以用something不用anything，故选D．我太饿了，我可以吃点什么吗？本题考查不定代词的辨析．做题的关键是首先根据语境明确句意，另外掌握选项中每个不定代词的用法，便可得出正确答案．4.【答案】C【解析】略略略5.【答案】C【解析】略略略6.【答案】C【解析】略略略7.【答案】A【解析】答案：A，考查系动词．句意"不仅我的父母而且我也是一名医生．"根据题干Not only my parents but also I _____ a doctor．可知not only…but also…表示不仅…而且…连接的两个并列主语，谓语动词一般要与后一个主语保持一致．这里主语I是单数第一人称，所以用am．故选A．不仅我的父母而且我也是一名医生．掌握not only…but also…的含义及其用法，根据具体内容作答．8.【答案】C【解析】略略略9.【答案】B【解析】略略略10.【答案】A【解析】A略略11.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查形容词原级比较．句意"这个男孩没有我姐姐高，所以他坐在她前面．"．A和…一样高．B比…高．C与…不一样高．D最高的．结合语境"所以他坐在她前面"，可知应该是男孩没有我姐姐高，因此用not as…as与…不一样，中间用形容词原形形式．答案是C．这个男孩没有我姐姐高，所以他坐在她前面．考查形容词原级比较，这里要掌握not as…as和as…as的区别，结合语境选择合适答案．答案：B．根据题干可知，本句的意思应是这本书非常有趣，我对它很感兴趣．在英语中，以-ing形式结尾的形容词多形容客观事物体现在外的性质，其修饰的对象多不具有生命；以-ed形式结尾的形容词多形容人或其他生物的情绪或感受，对于被修饰的对象来说，这种形容词体现了它的主观感受．根据题干可知，第一个空修饰的是事物the book，应用interesting；第二个空是修饰人称代词I，应用interested，be interested in表示"对…感兴趣"是固定短语．故选B．这本书非常有趣，我对它很感兴趣．此题主要考查英语动词形容词的两种形式即过去分词作形容词与现在分词作形容词之间的区别．掌握它们之间的差异能帮助快速答题．13.【答案】C【解析】略略略14.【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据题意：-他的表妹什么时候到达？-大约12点钟．结合选项，arrive后要接介词in/at，后面要接地点；get 后接to，单独用，没有"到达"之意；reach是及物动词，要接宾语．所以只有选项B符合题意．故选：B．-他的表妹什么时候到达？-大约12点钟．熟悉动词短语的基本用法，结合题意，给出答案．15.【答案】C【解析】略略略16.【答案】D【解析】略略略答案：C．any后跟名词单数时，表示任何一个（用于不是同一范围作比较），any other表示其他的，后也可跟名词单数形式（用于同一范围作比较），the other常和one连用，表示"一个…，另一个…"．根据题意，上海比日本的任何一座城市都大，这是不在同一范围作比较，用any，故选择C．上海比日本任何一座城市都大．本题考查形容词比较级，是一道易错题，要注意any和any other的区别．18.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．两者都可表示"借"，但是borrow 指"借入"，而lend 则指"借出"，两者其实是一对反义词，而不是同义词．要表示"向某人借某物"，英语用borrow sth from sb，其中用介词from．要表示"把某物借给某人"，英语用lend sth to sb，其中用介词to．根据-Could I your bike，可知这里应该是借入，用borrow；再根据but youmustn't---it to others，这里应该是借出，用lend．故选B．--我可以借一下你的自行车吗？--很乐意．但是你不可以把它借给别人．了解每个选项的含义是做好此类题型的关键，还要从句意着手，根据句意作出解答；所以，平时的学习中要多进行积累词汇，才能很好的完成．19.【答案】D【解析】略略略20.【答案】C【解析】答案：C，考查名词的词义辨析．句意"人们在英国说假日，在美国的时候说假期．"movie电影；fall落下；vocation假期；elevator电梯．根据题干People in the UK say‘holiday'while people in the USA say___________．可知本题考的是名词的同义词，holiday假日，和vocation假期是同义词．也是英语在两国的不同说法．即人们在英国说假日，在美国的时候说假期．故选C．人们在英国说假日，在美国的时候说假期．理解各个选项的含义，根据具体内容作答．21.【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】C【小题3】C【小题4】D【小题5】A【小题6】C【小题7】B【小题8】A【小题9】D【小题10】B【小题11】D【小题12】B【小题13】D【小题14】B【小题15】A【解析】BCCDA

have a better look at his painting，he stepped back again．可知，这个艺术家又朝后退，是想更好的看看的他的绘画．故选A．3D 细节理解题．根据文章第一段Suddenly，his assistant shouted，picked up a small bowl of paint and started to paint the artist's work on the top．可知，助理对这个艺术家大喊，并且自己开始在顶部绘画，才使得艺术家没有掉下平台．故选D．4A 细节理解题．第二段划线句子的意思是：在平台上，艺术家的助理在混合颜料，艺术家后退想看看他的画进展得怎么样了，为了更好的看清楚，他又向后退了．故选A．5B 推断理解题．根据文章第一段Suddenly，his assistant shouted，picked up a small bowl of paint and started to paint the artist's work on the top．可知，助理对这个艺术家大喊，并且自己开始在顶部绘画，才使得艺术家没有掉下平台．助理那样做的目的是为了使艺术家向前跑，这样就不会掉下平台，艺术家应该会感谢助理救了他的命．故选B．这篇文章讲述了一个画家站在一个70米高的平台上给一个教堂的顶绘画，他想看看画的进展，就一直朝后退，见状，他的助理赶紧自己在顶部画画，气得画家往前跑来阻止他，这样才使得画家没有掉下去．本文风趣幽默，结构简单．对于此类记叙文章，学生在答题时需要把握好答题的方法，首先对文章进行整体的阅读，本文全部以细节题进行考察，重在对比文章和题目的关系．平时的学习需要适当做题，保持良好的语感与阅读的习惯．46.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】D【小题3】B【小题4】C【小题5】D【解析】1．答案：A．细节理解题．根据第一行A scientist name Charles had a strange idea．He wanted to invent a new kind of car which could go without a driver．一个名叫查尔斯的科学家有一个奇怪的想法，他想发明一种新型的汽车，它可以不用司机．可知，是Charles，选A．2．答案：D．细节理解题．根据第二段第一句Tridika has no wheels and it starts working when it reaches the magnetic levitation tracks（磁悬浮轨道）．tridika没有轮子，当它到达磁悬浮轨道是它开始工作．可知，选D．3．答案：B．词意猜测题．根据上句There are more and more cars running on the road．越来越多的汽车在路上行驶．可知，应该是停车空间是"有限的"，选B．4．答案：C．细节理解题．根据第二段第三行Tridika can solve this problem easily because it needn't park on the ground．tridika可以解决这个问题，因为它不需要停在地面．可知，tridika节省空间，因为它不需要在地上停车．选C．5．答案：D．标题猜测题．根据第一段He wanted to invent a new kind of car which could go without a driver．他想发明一种无人驾驶的新型汽车．及But Charles succeeded in making it in a factory and named it Tridika．但查尔斯成功地在一家工厂制造了它，并命名为Tridika．可知，短文主要介绍Tridika：新型无人驾驶汽车．选D．文章大意：这是一篇人物故事类阅读，主要介绍科学家查尔斯发明了一种新的无人驾驶概念电动汽车．它的工作原理更接近于磁悬浮列车：通过电磁力实现汽车与轨道之间无接触的悬浮和导向，再利用直线电机产生的电磁力牵引汽车沿着高楼外墙上下运行．当Tridika停在公寓外墙时，用户相当于又多了一间书房或办公室．阅读题型，要注重句子与句子之间、段落与段落之间逻辑关系以及对篇章的整体理解．根据所给问题选择正确选项完成试题．51.【答案】【小题1】David
