作，為成年人制作一款限量版的運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋，它由從城市人行道上收集的回收口香糖制成。分析

句子結(jié)構(gòu)并結(jié)合句意可知此處表示目的，用不定式作目的狀語，故填tocreate。

『2題詳解』

考查連詞。句意：口香糖造成了一個(gè)極其嚴(yán)重的生態(tài)問題，因?yàn)樗怯刹荒苌锝到獾?/p>

塑料制成的。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處需要填連詞，根據(jù)句意可知前后是因果關(guān)系，此處表示

原因，故填because/as/since,

『3題詳解』

考查形容詞最高級(jí)。句意：它也是第二常見的路邊垃圾，僅次于煙頭。根據(jù)句意可知此

處表示“最常見的"，應(yīng)該用形容詞最高級(jí)，common的最高級(jí)有兩種形式：mostcommon或

commonest,故填mostcommon/commonest?

『4題詳解』

考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意:令人難以置信的是，每年有330萬磅的口香糖被扔在人行道上，

城市需要花費(fèi)數(shù)百萬美元來清理它。此處表示一種自然而然的結(jié)果，用現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語，

故填costingo

『5題詳解』

考查非限定性定語從句。句意：廢棄的口香糖將會(huì)被很好地利用來制作時(shí)尚的鞋子，這

也將提高公眾禁止亂扔垃圾的意識(shí)。此處為非限定性定語從句，關(guān)系詞指代整個(gè)主句內(nèi)容并

在從句中作主語，故填which。

[6題詳解』

考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：這款鞋的售價(jià)約為332美元，將于下個(gè)月上市。price作動(dòng)詞

時(shí)表示“給……定價(jià)”，分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處使用非謂語動(dòng)詞，shoes與price之間是邏輯上

的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，表示被動(dòng)，用過去分詞作狀語，故填Priced。

『7題詳解』

考查時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。句意：新款口香糖運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋現(xiàn)已接受預(yù)訂，有泡泡糖粉和紅配黑兩

種配色，其特點(diǎn)是持久耐用的橡膠外底，它由Gumdrop公司生產(chǎn)的可回收化合物制成，其

中20%的成分來自口香糖。此處在句中作謂語，陳述的是客觀事實(shí)，用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主語

是sneakers,謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)，故填feature。

F8題詳解』

考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意：每四雙鞋使用將近2.2磅的口香糖。gum與use之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，且

陳述的是客觀事實(shí)，所以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài),主語為gum,謂語動(dòng)詞用第三人稱單數(shù)，

故填isusedo

『9題詳解』

考查介詞。句意：更妙的是，這雙運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋聞起來仍然像泡泡糖，但沒有惱人的粘性（一

點(diǎn)也不粘）。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處需要填介詞，根據(jù)“theannoyingstickiness”可知此處表示

“沒有”，故填withouto

門0題詳解J

考查主語從句。句意：為了幫助宣傳他們的可持續(xù)發(fā)展理念，這款鞋的創(chuàng)始人希望將他

們的項(xiàng)目擴(kuò)展到世界其他主要城市。此處為主語從句，從句中的do缺少賓語，故填what。

r解析」

本文是記敘文。文章講述了當(dāng)風(fēng)暴來臨時(shí)一家人對風(fēng)暴不同的反應(yīng)。Em姨媽快速地尋

找庇護(hù)所，Henry急忙去看家畜而Dorothy并沒有慌張而是靈活鎮(zhèn)定地應(yīng)對這場風(fēng)暴。

『36題詳解J

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段和第三段中提到的“thewind”以及第三段中的“thehousetipped

badly,shefeltasifshewerebeingrockedgently,likeababyinacradle.”可知,房屋嚴(yán)重傾斜以

及Dorothy覺得自己好像被輕輕搖動(dòng)了，就像搖籃里的嬰兒一樣，這是風(fēng)暴導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果，因

此劃線詞指的是tornado（風(fēng)暴，旋風(fēng)）。故選D。

『37題詳解』

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的"AuntEm,badlyfrightened,threwopenthetrapdoorinthe

floorandclimbeddowntheladderintothesmall,darkhole.”可知，Em姨媽嚇壞了，把地板上

的活板門打開了，順著梯子爬進(jìn)了一個(gè)小黑洞中。由此可知，旋風(fēng)接近時(shí)，Em姨媽鉆進(jìn)

地板下面的洞中是為了在風(fēng)暴來臨時(shí)尋找庇護(hù)所。故選B。

[38題詳解』
