47、尋常的經(jīng)歷讓沉溺于電腦游戲的Albert回歸到了正常的生活。16B由文章首句“Albert was mad about computer games”可知，Albert沉迷于電腦游戲，每天花很多時(shí)間在電腦前。screen此處指電腦的屏幕。17D“正常的(normal)”生活是相對(duì)于“Albert沉迷于電腦游戲的生活”而言的。18CAlbert喜歡電腦游戲。在所有游戲當(dāng)中，一個(gè)通過(guò)升級(jí)收集烏龜?shù)挠螒蛩绕洹跋矚g(liked)”。從下文的“he ran to his room to switch the . on”可以看出。19D見(jiàn)下一題解析。20CAlbert喜歡電腦游戲到了癡迷的程度，有一天，

48、“像平時(shí)一樣(as usual)”，他一進(jìn)家門(mén)就去開(kāi)“電腦(computer)”。21A一開(kāi)始是有奇怪的聲音，然后是電腦屏幕破了。suddenly表示Albert這次經(jīng)歷的事情很突然。22B從上文他最喜歡的游戲是收集烏龜和下文的“Seeing that the turtles were staying”及“Looking after hundreds of turtles”可知。23A由下文的“called to his parents to see if he was dreaming this”可知，Albert不“相信(believe)”正在發(fā)生的事情。24B由上文的“he ran to

49、 his room”與“called his parents to see”可知，Albert應(yīng)該是把他的父母叫到他的房間。entering指父母進(jìn)到Albert的房間。25C由下文的“Looking after hundreds of turtles”可知，看到如此多的烏龜，Albert的父母讓他自己負(fù)起“責(zé)任(responsibility)”。26D照顧幾百只烏龜絕不是“容易的(easy)”事。27A見(jiàn)下一題解析。28B對(duì)于如何照顧烏龜，Albert需要“學(xué)習(xí)(learning)”關(guān)于烏龜?shù)囊磺?，甚至要“?think up)”辦法去喂烏龜。29C“Albert想辦法讓烏龜離開(kāi)房間”與“(

50、辦法)沒(méi)有奏效”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用but。30A見(jiàn)下一題解析。31D由下文的“He felt happy that they were part of his world”可知，Albert逐漸地“習(xí)慣了(got used to)”與烏龜生活在一起，也“喜歡(enjoy)”上了這種生活。32B此處的quickly與上文的suddenly相呼應(yīng)。烏龜?shù)南Ш退鼈兊牡絹?lái)一樣突然。33C由but一詞的轉(zhuǎn)折和最后一段內(nèi)容可知，Albert的父母原本擔(dān)心烏龜?shù)南?huì)讓他重新回到游戲的世界，但他們擔(dān)心的事情并沒(méi)有“發(fā)生(happen)”。34B根據(jù)上文描述的Albert發(fā)生的轉(zhuǎn)變可知，此處是說(shuō)他從寵物店

51、買(mǎi)回了烏龜、鳥(niǎo)、魚(yú)。look after“照顧”，符合語(yǔ)境。35B對(duì)于Albert來(lái)說(shuō)，經(jīng)歷這次非同尋常的事情之后，他“使用(uses)”電腦不再是玩游戲了，而是用來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)關(guān)于動(dòng)物和自然的新知識(shí)。第二節(jié)語(yǔ)法填空(共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分)閱讀下面短文，在空格處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(每空不多于三個(gè)單詞)或使用括號(hào)中單詞的正確形式填空，并將答案填寫(xiě)在相應(yīng)位置上。On February 5,2013, the 36._ (five) grade students at an elementary school welcomed a new student. 37._， he was unlik

In the past he has done many tasks, including 45._ (accompany) the elderly shop for groceries.答案與解析36fifthfive的序數(shù)詞為fifth。五年級(jí)應(yīng)表達(dá)為“the fifth grade”。37However空格前后兩個(gè)分句為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系

56、，且空格后有逗號(hào)，應(yīng)用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞However。38butnot . but .“不是而是”。39outtest out“試驗(yàn)”。40Compared所給詞在句中為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)，且compare與其邏輯主語(yǔ)the robot為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用compare的過(guò)去分詞形式作狀語(yǔ)。41was programmed所給詞在句中作謂語(yǔ)，表過(guò)去的動(dòng)作，且programme與其邏輯主語(yǔ)he為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。42aas a result“結(jié)果”。43allnot與all連用表“并非全部”。44has been根據(jù)固定句型“This is the first time sb. has/have

57、 done sth.”可知空格處謂語(yǔ)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。45accompanying所給詞在句中為非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作介詞including的賓語(yǔ)，應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞形式，故填accompanying。答案11.C12.F13.A14.E15.D第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Four Habits to Help You SucceedWe all want to succeed, whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar.
