解析 代词用法。the rest可指代前面的不可数名词work, 而其它三项均不可指代不可数名词。
答案 A
18.—A lovely day, isn't it?
—Yes. I love ________ when the weather is like this. Why not go out for a walk?
A.this B.it C.one D.that
解析 考查代词用法。此处it作形式宾语,真正宾语是when the weather is like this。如果主句谓语是表示爱憎类的动词,如like/dislike/hate/appreciate,且其宾语为一个宾语从句时,则一般把it放于其中作形式宾语,后面再加上if或疑问词引导的宾语从句。再如:I dislike it when people talk with their mouths full.我讨厌人们一边嘴里满是东西,一边谈话。I'll appreciate it if you could open the window for me.如果你能帮我打开窗户,我将不胜感激。
答案 B
19.Tom told me that he needed a chair and that soon he found ________.
A.it B.that C.one D.the one

答案 C
20.The basic design of the car is very similar to ________ of the earlier model.
A.that B.it C.this D.one
解析 考查代词。句意:这款车的基本设计与之前车型的设计非常相似。此处用that指代前面提到的the basic design。

It had been with me as I __9__ hard to support my family,as I played with my children and heard their __10__ and even when I was __11__ with my wife at my side looking after me.It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner.I just didn't have the __12__ to see it.
There is an old Chinese proverb that says,“Tension is what you think you should be.__13__ is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the __14__ life we think we should have and __15__ the life we have now.Happiness will never be found under some banner far away.It will be found __16__ your own heart,soul and mind.It will be found when you __17__ that others love you just as you do.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
体裁:记叙文 话题:生活故事 时间:10分钟
Ogilvie the detective arrived.Both the Duke and Duchess were extremely nervous.
The Duchess went to the door herself.The detective's piggy eyes surveyed her.His gaze moved on to sweep the spacious,well-decorated room,and the Duke.
“Pretty neat set-up you've got.”Ogilvie said slowly.
The Duchess said sharply,“imagine you didn't come here to discuss the decoration.”
“No,Madame.I like nice things,though.Like that expensive car of yours.The one you keep here in the hotel.”
“In what way does our car concern you?”The Duchess had sat in a straight-backed chair.
“Now,”he said.“You two were in the hit-and-run.”
She met his eyes directly.“What are you talking about?”
“Don't play games,lady.You saw the newspapers.There's been plenty on radio,too.”Ogilvie's words spat forth with sudden strength.“You listen to me.This__city's__mad—everybody.When they find who killed that kid and her mother,and run away,what will they do?Now I know what I know,and if I do what by rights I should,there'll be police here.But I come to you first,so you could tell your side of it to me.”The piggy eyes blinked,then hardened.“If you want it the other way,just say so.”
The Duchess—three centuries and a half of in-born pride behind her—did not give in easily.Springing to her feet with great anger,gray-green eyes burning,she faced the detective straightly.Her tone would have frightened anyone who knew her well.“You unspeakable blackguard!How dare you!”
Ogilvie said nothing.But the Duke cut in,“It's no go,old girl,I'm afraid.It was a good try.”Facing Ogilvie,he said.“What you accuse us of is true.I was driving the car and killed the little girl.”
“That's more like it,”Ogilvie said,“now we're getting somewhere.”

The Duchess sank back into her chair.She asked.“What is it you know?”
“I'll tell you,I got a curious nature.You and your wife drove home,you were driving,after a drink.Last night I saw you come in—through the basement,looking shaken,the pair of you.I got wondering why.Like I said,I got a curious nature.”
The Duchess breathed,“Go on.”
“Late last night the word was out about the hit-and-run.I went over the garage and took a quiet look-see at your car.On your car you got a damaged headlight.There's plenty of blood.”
“Oh,my God!”A hand to her face,the Duchess turned away.
Her husband asked.“What do you suggest?”
The fat man rubbed his hands together.“Like I said.I come to hear your side of it.”
The Duke said desperately,“What can I possibly say?You know what happened.You'd better call the police.”
“There's no way bringing back the kid nor her mother.Besides,what they'd do to you,Duke,you wouldn't like it at all.I was hoping,”Ogilvie said,“that you could suggest something.”
The Duke said uncertainly,“I don't understand.”“I understand,”the Duchess said.“You want money.You came here to blackmail(讹诈) us.”
The house detective shrugged(耸肩).“Whatever names you call things,they don't matter to me.All I come for is to help you people out of trouble.But I've got to live too.”
“You'd accept money to keep silent about what you know?”
“I think so.”
“How much do you want?”
The piggy eyes blinked.“Ten thousand dollars.”
“What would we receive in return?”
The fat man seemed puzzled.“Like I said,I keep quiet about what I know.”
“No.”The statement was clear.“We will not pay you.”
Ogilvie's round face reddened,“Now listen,lady...”
She cut him off.“I won't listen.Instead,you will listen to me.We won't pay you $10,000.But we will pay you $25,000.In return,you will drive our car north.”
“$25,000,”she repeated.“$10,000 now.$15,000 more when you meet us in Chicago.”
The fat man's piggy eyes were focused upon hers.The silence hung.Then,he gave the slightest of nods.

Recently an activity has been going on in our school which is called “Becoming a Guardian to Protect the Environment”.Students are asked to hand in used batteries,newspapers and so on to get a card as a reward.I think we can benefit a lot from this activity.
Firstly,this activity will help to raise our environmental awareness and save resources.Secondly,the used batteries are harmful to the environment.Recycling them has been of great importance in

Meanwhile,we can still do a lot more to help protect the environment.For example,we should remember to turn off the light before we leave the room.And we shouldn't leave the tap water running after we use it.
