答案及剖析:
31.B 考查冠词的用法。不定冠词a和an有“一”的意思,表示泛指。根据句意“在同学们面前演戏是一次我不会忘记的经历。”可以判断用不定冠词,又由于experience以元音音素开头,须用an。所以选择B。
6
32.B 考查介词的用法。句意为“John的分数使他在班级名列前茅”。in在里面(一般指空间位置);among在……之间(三者或三者以上);between表示“在两者之间”,常与and 连用;through通过;穿过。故选B。
33.D 句意:——David,那是 英语老师吗?——是的,他是 。他非常认真。第一个空后有名词,所以用形容词性物主代词,第二个空后无名词,所以用名词性物主代词。
34.B 同义词辨析。influence影响,help帮助;effect影响;interest兴趣;limit限制,故选B。
35.A 考查非谓语动词。enjoy+doing,故选A。
36.A 考查单词辨析。句意:微笑无需付出,却给予很多。spend花费,主语是人,常与on连用;cost花费,主语是物;主语A smile是单数名词,因此谓语动词要使用第三人称单数形式。故本题选A。
37.D 考查非谓语动词。prefer doing to doing比起做……更喜欢做……
38.A 考查感叹句。三个常用句型:What a/an+adj.+名词单数(+主语+谓语动词);What+adj.+名词复数或不可数名词;How+副词或形容词(+主语+谓语动词)。句中的happy是形容词,故选A。
39.C 考查动词短语。根据句意“一片漆黑”可知是“每天晚上路灯灭”。 A.are on亮着;B.turn on打开;C.go off(灯)熄灭;D.turn off关掉,故选C。
40.B marry为非延续性动词,不能和一段时间连用;如果与一段时间连用,要用be married。由for ten years可知用现在完成时,故选B。
41.B 考查主谓一致及动词的用法。this kind of+n.作主语时,谓语动词要和kind的单复数保持一致;sell well卖得好,用主动形式表示被动的意思。故选B。
42.A 考查动词短语。一些歌手希望年底之前在英国进行一次演出。put on上演;穿上;put away收起来;put out扑灭;put up搭建;张贴,故选A。
43.B 根据题意“很多房子被地震毁坏”,需要用被动语态be done,排除A、C,又根据后文were提示,应用过去时,故选B。
44.C 考查被动语态。句意“在中国用餐之前喝一些茶或者其他饮料是一种习俗”。当before引导时间状语从句时,前后时态要一致,故此处从句中的谓语动词应用一般现在时,并且meal和serve是被动关系。the meal is served中的serve意为“端上,开(饭)”。
45.A 句意:这个笑话是如此有趣以致他笑了又笑。make sb.do sth.意为“使某人做某事”。

Watching movies can help us relax and we can learn a lot at the same time.But do you know anything about movies?When movies were first created,they were not in colour.They were just moving pictures and only a few people acted in front of the camera.But now making a movie needs thousands of people and even spending a few years.
There are many kinds of movies,such as comedy movies,cartoons,action movies and so on.For me I like comedy movies,because I think comedies can make people feel happy and laugh.
