Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best loved and most successful children’s book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants. In 1954, life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children’s books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.
In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham. In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize（普利策奖）. He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents. He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains.
Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, “I do not write for children. I write for people.”

【答案与解析】
Ⅰ. 单项选择。
1.B。考查句式How do you like it？ = What do you think of it?意为“你是怎么认为的”即询问喜欢程度。
2.B。本句子是考查特殊疑问词＋动词不定式的用法， 此处 What to do next在本句子中作主语。
3. C。先行词为表示物的名词，关系代词一般要用that/which,且本句关系代词在从句中作了宾语。
4. A。houses是先行词，它为物，其后的定语从句的关系代词可用that也可用which，这里的关系代词在本从句中作了主语。
5. A。本句属于prefer …to ….结构，后接名词或动词-ing形式，意为“宁愿做某事，而不愿做另一事”。
6. A。activities是可数名词复数形式，应该用many来修饰，too many意为“太多”，符合句意；too much意为“太多”，但修饰不可数名词； much too意为“太……”，修饰形容词；没有many too的结构。
7. C。选项中的to是跟前面的stuck连在一起的，stick to意为“坚持（信念等）”，因为整个句子的时态是过去时，所以prove要用过去时。
8. B。本句子是考查动词suggest的用法，suggest表示建议做某事的时候后面用动名词即suggest doing something。
9. A。本句子是考查定语从句的引导词。由于先行词是不定代词，它的引导词只能是that。
10. A。考查关系代词的用法。此句是定语从句，先行词是students，且在定语从句中作主语，因此用关系代词who。
11．C。in total是固定搭配，意为“共计”。
12．B。结合答语中的“我喜欢爵士乐”可知，所缺的特殊疑问短语是what kind of music．
13．A。结合本题中的“以便让新鲜的空气进来”可知，要打开窗户。故答案为A。
14．A。dance to随意……跳舞。
15．D。句意：——经理和工人们在会议室快乐地交谈着。——是的，他们看起来很放松。由题意可知答案为D。
【真题链接】
1. D。句意为“Bob知道如何降低项目的成本。我确信他可以用更少的钱和更少的人力去完成这份工作”。money为不可数名词，用little修饰，其比较级是less；people是集合名词，用few修饰，其比较级是fewer。故选D。
2. D。one of + the + 形容词最高级形式+名词复数 ，意为“最……之一”，故选D。
3. A。宾语从句应使用陈述句语序，由此可排除B、C两项。故选A。
Ⅱ. 完形填空。
1.A。尽管有人相信梦有时能预测未来，事实有时如此，但没人知道其原因。
2.D。called作后置定语，意为“被叫，命名为”。
3.C。由poor可知需要“money”。
4.A。get to，arrive in/at，reach是同义词，后接地点名词。
5.D。be interested in是固定词组，意为“对……感兴趣”。
6.B。由上下文句意可知没人和他谈话，短语“和某人谈话”可用talk to/with sb。
7.C。上文说没人和他谈话，正准备回家时，却有人过来说话，可知表转折，用but。
7
8.A。因为过来和John Chapman说话的人一直注意到John Chapman在桥上好几天，所以问他是否在等某个人。故用wait for sb.，意为“等候某人”。
9.C。由前后句关系可知是表示假设的条件句，故用if，意为“如果”。
10. D。由最后一段可知此处应该是“gold”。
11.B。当John Chapman听到这个陌生人做的梦时，当然很惊讶。所以用surprised（惊讶的）。
12.B。“so…that…”句式，意为“如此……以至于……”。
III.阅读理解。

1. A。 由句子“In 1954, life magazine published a report about school children who could not read.”可知。
