课时达标检测

Ⅰ.语法和词汇知识

1．【解析】选D。考查交际用语。句意：——你一定要相信自己。如果你不相信自己，

没有人会相信你。——我非常赞成，自信真的很重要。依据答语第二句可知答话人非常同意

对方的观点。Ican’t/couldn’tagreemore意为“我太同意你(的观点)了”。

2．【解析】选A。句意：射击原本是一种生存的方式，只是到了19世纪末才发展为一

种体育运动。means为单复数同形的名词，意为“方式”，在本句中表示泛指，故用不定冠

词；sport作“体育项目”讲时为可数名词，在本句中表示泛指，故也用不定冠词。

3．【解析】选B。句意：——这些天你好像很忙。——是的。我在找房子。找一所带花

园的房子真不容易。此处用one代替泛指的单数名词ahou；it指同名同物；that＝the＋单

数名词/不可数名词。

4．【解析】选C。考查动词词组辨析。从句意可知，说话人要把书赠送给贫困地区的学

生。因此C项giveaway“赠送”为正确选项。giveup表示“放弃”；giveoff表示“发出(气

味、光、热等)”；giveback表示“归还”。

5．【解析】选C。考查时态。由now一词可知应用现在进行时，表示“Jenny现在正在

你办公室等你”。

6．【解析】选A。句意：你应该好好睡一晚，不管你有多少工作要做。本句的后半部分

是一个让步状语从句，however表示“不管怎样”，相当于nomatterhow。

7．【解析】选A。句意：布莱克夫人去年在悉尼看望她的朋友时过得很愉快。这里用

when来引导时间状语从句。

8．【解析】选A。考查非谓语动词。英语中，某些作表语的形容词，常用动词不定式的

主动形式作状语。bepleasanttodealwith意为“处起来融洽”。

9．【解析】选A。句意：自从在华尔街爆发全球金融危机以来，很多国家已不同程度

地遭受其带来的痛苦。A项“自……以来”，B项“不久”，C项“有时”，D项“目前”。

10．【解析】选C。句意：决心及时开展计划后，他们将作细致的准备。determined决

心的，坚决的，在句中为形容词短语作状语。

11．【解析】选D。考查固定搭配。句意：是他对生活的积极态度让我对他产生敬意。

attitude常和介词to或towards搭配，表示“对……的态度”。

12．【解析】选A。考查动词词义辨析。句意：要想写出好文章，首先得认真组织一下

自己的想法。organize“组织”；ttle“解决；定居”；report“报告”；speak“说出”。

由句意知应选A项。

13．【解析】选D。考查固定句式。cannot/hardlywaittodosth.“迫不及待地做某事”。

14．【解析】选B。根据shewon’tchangehermind，sowehavetochangeourplan可知，

此处是说经理很“固执(stubborn)”。reliable可靠的；patient耐心的；careless粗心的，均不

符合语境。

15．【解析】选D。根据从句意思(由于缺乏资金)可知，隧道项目延误了。behindschedule

晚点，落后于预计时间。situation形势；speed速度；insurance保险。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

【解题导语】独自旅行，真正体会周围的世界，成了许多年轻人了解世界、锻炼自己

的新方式。

1．【解析】选D。主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是独自旅行，放松身心，挑战自己，迎接

新事物。D项“放下行李，独自上路”形象地点明了主题。

2．【解析】选C。词义猜测题。阅读全文并结合选项可知，画线词语所在句为“独自徒

步环游世界”之意，故C项正确。

3．【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的第一句话“独自征服一些东西所带来

的那种感觉是我每天应对困难时的主要动力来源”可知，C项正确。

4．【解析】选D。正误判断题。由倒数第二段可知，D项“这会让你在旷野中好像与世

隔绝一样”，不是独自旅行的好处，年轻人只是想知道与外界断绝联系的感觉，故答案为D

项。

5．【解析】选D。推理判断题。阅读倒数第二段可知，尽管年轻人面临孤独的考验，但

他们仍愿意独自旅行来挑战自己，故D项符合题意。

【解题导语】对患有脑癌的AllisonWinn来说，狗的陪伴给了她极大的安慰。通过努

力，AllisonWinn创立了一个组织，帮助一些家庭收养宠物，以使其他患病的孩子得到同样

的安慰。

6．【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“theyhadnoideahowmuchthelittle

creaturewouldchangeherlife”可知，一开始，Allison的家人并没有期待狗会使Allison改变

多少，故选D。

7．【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句可知，她通过在房前卖柠檬水和自

制的狗饼干赚了一些钱。然后她用这些钱收养、训练了两只狗，并把它们送给了患有癌症的

孩子们，因此选B。

8．【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“Herorganization，theStinkBug

Project，namedafterapictureshedrew...”可知，应选A。

9．【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推知，Allison的母亲为女儿的爱心

而感到自豪。

10．【解析】选C。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Allison的故事，在文章结尾号召人们

捐赠或购买Allison的自制狗饼干，即把狗和爱心献给患有癌症的孩子们，因此C项最能概

括文章大意。
