help. What can I do? Help me!

Until he was about 20 years old, Benjamin Banneker had never seen a watch or
clock. Born in 1731 in Maryland, USA, he worked as a farmer and lived by sunrise
and sunset. He didn't need to know the exact time. One day, he saw a watch and was
fascinated with it. Today, no one knows whose watch it was, but he borrowed it and
studied how it worked.
Then, he built a wooden clock — America's first clock! Not only did it tell the
time, but its bell rang every hour. People traveled miles to see Benjamin's clock. The
clock continued to work until Benjamin's death in 1806.
Benjamin was educated at a time when few people knew how to read or write.
And at the age of 22, he built a working clock without having a lesson or book on the
subject. How could he do that? That was because of his love of math.
From the time he was a boy, Benjamin loved to learn, and he especially loved
math. His grandmother taught him to read and write using the one book she had, the
Bible. He went to school in the winters. Years later, his lifelong friend Jacob Hall
recalled (回忆起) that Benjamin often stayed in the schoolhouse and lost himself in
books while the other students played outdoors.
Benjamin worked on his family's farm and studied when his work was done. He
became known as a man of learning. He made calculations (计算) and wrote letters
for his neighbors who could not do those things.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
( )56. Benjamin first saw a watch _______.
A. in 1731 B. in class C. at about 20 D. in a farmer's home( )57. What can we know about the clock Benjamin built?
A. It cost him a lot.
B. It was made of wood.
C. It didn't always tell the correct time.
D. It was similar to the watch he had borrowed.
( )58. According to Jacob Hall, Benjamin was _______.
A. brave B. clever C. hard-working D. warm-hearted
( )59. Benjamin often helped his neighbors _______.
A. do farm work B. write letters
C. learn to read D. fix watches

Yiwu market is famous around the world. Here are five facts about it.

The answer is yes. Yiwu International Trade Market is 7 km long. Every year
more than 500,000 foreigners come here to develop their business. Also over 14,000
foreign businessmen from more than 100 different countries live here. What's more,

My favorite invention
My favorite invention is the telephone watch. It not only tells us the time, but it's
also used to make phone calls.
Why do I like it? Because sometimes we can't hear the phone ring when we're in
a noisy place, we may miss some important calls. If we have this watch on our arm,
the phone will light up and we won't miss any calls. If we want to know how the
person calling us is doing, we'll be able to see him or her on the screen.
I think this invention has made our lives more convenient. What do you think?
部分解析
单项选择：
21. A。本小题考查冠词及固定搭配。由对话上一句中的 later (late 的比较级)可知，
应该用 a little 来修饰比较级，故空格处应用不定冠词 a；又因 have a point 是固定
短语，意为“有道理”，故选 A。22. B。本小题考查介词词义辨析。of 意为“属于(某人或某物)”；with 意为“带
有”；in 意为“在……里”；about 意为“关于”。因为“我”认为这种拉链容易坏，所
以我不想要“带有”这种拉链的外套，故选 B。
23. D。本小题考查名词词义辨析。activity 意为“活动”；brand 意为“品牌；牌
子”；condition 意为“条件；状况”；style 意为“样式；款式”。根据“许多游客对它
们感兴趣”可知，这两座建筑物是以一种非常传统的“样式”建造的，故选 D。
24. B。本小题考查不定代词辨析。nobody 意为“没有人”；somebody 意为“有人”，
一般用于肯定句中；anybody 意为“有人”时，一般用于否定句或一般疑问句中；
意为“任何人”时，一般用于肯定句中；everybody 意为“人人；大家”。根据应答
者说“不，是风”可知，发话者以为是“有人”在敲窗户，故选 B。
25. C。本小题考查形容词词义辨析。crispy 意为“脆的；酥脆的”；salty 意为“咸
的”；sour 意为“酸的；有酸味的”；fresh 意为“新鲜的；清新的”。应答者说“因为
它是由葡萄制成的”，据此可知，发话者是问为什么这种果汁尝起来这么“酸”，
故选 C。
26. D。本小题考查副词词义辨析。probably 意为“很可能；大概”；mostly 意为“主
要地；通常”；hardly 意为“几乎不；几乎没有”；nearly 意为“几乎”。发话者说“你
难道不觉得《冰雪女王》这部电影很滑稽吗？”，应答者说：“是的，很滑稽”，
紧接着说明多么滑稽——“几乎”笑死我，故选 D。
27. B。本小题考查动词词义辨析。四个动词都可以和 into 搭配。change ...
into ... 意为“把……变成……”；translate ... into ... 意为“把……翻译成……”；
develop ... into ... 意为“把……发展成……”；make ... into ... 意为“将……制
成……”。根据第二句句意可知，William Tyndale 是首位将《圣经》“翻译成”英
语的人，故选 B。
28. C。本小题考查非谓语动词。encourage 用作动词，意为“鼓励”，常用于 encourage
sb. to do sth.结构，故选 C。
29. B。本小题考查系动词词义辨析及语态。sound 意为“听起来”；smell 意为“闻
起来”，根据题干后一分句“不要再吃了”可知，是这道菜“闻起来”坏了，因此先
排除选项 A 和 C。表示感受、感官的系动词 feel, sound, taste, smell 等常用其主动
形式表示被动意义，故选 B。
30. D。本小题考查动词的语态及时态。应答语第二句主语 the photo 是动作 take
的承受者，因此用被动语态；由 ten years ago 可知，用一般过去时的被动语态，
故选 D。
31. C。本小题考查主谓一致。the number of ... 意为“……的数量；……的数目”，
作主语时，谓语动词应用单数形式；a number of ... 意为“许多；大量……”，作主
语时，谓语动词应用复数形式，故选 C。
32. C。本小题考查固定句型。It is said that ... 意为“据说……”，故选 C。
33. B。本小题考查短语辨析。by hand 意为“手工”；by mistake 意为“错误地；无
意中”；in trouble 意为“陷入麻烦中”；in danger 意为“处于危险中”。由 but 可知，
前后分句在语义上是转折关系，发话者道歉的原因是他“无意中”打开了对方的信，
故选 B。
34. D。本小题考查短语动词辨析。play tricks on 意为“开……的玩笑”；take care of
意为“ 照顾；处理”；look forward to 意为“盼望；期待”；look up to 意为“钦佩；
仰慕；尊敬”。根据题干后一分句“老年人应该为年轻人树立好榜样”可知，年轻
人这样才会“尊敬”老年人，故选 D。35. D。本小题考查情景交际。That's true 意为“是真的”；My pleasure 意为“不客
气”；I agree 意为“我同意”；With pleasure 意为“很乐意效劳”，用来表示愿意为某
人做某事。发话者想让对方把这个便条拿给穿蓝色裙子的妇女，对于发话者的请
求，出于礼貌，应答者表示“愿意效劳”，故选 D。

数形式。
83. taught。由下文 the homework is a piece of cake 可知，上文意为“如果你已经理
解了所‘教'内容”。因为 what 和 teach 之间是被动关系，所以填过去分词形式 taught。
84. easily。作业既然是小菜一碟，那你应该“很容易地”完成它。该空填 easy 的副
词形式。
85. helps。作业会“帮助”你意识到这一点。

Fifth-grader Kayla Martel loves basketball. But her school doesn’t have a girls’
team. So for the past four years, Kayla has played on the boys’ team at St. John the
Apostle School in Clark, New Jersey. That hadn’t been a problem until earlier this
year. The team was told that it either had to ask Kayla and another girl to leave the
team or end its season early.
The team, called the Chargers, plays in a league (联赛) that didn’t allow mixed
teams after fourth grade. When the league leader found out that there were girls in the
team, he gave the coaches (教练) bad news. The team could keep playing but only
without the girls.
Keisha Martel, Kayla’s mom, is one of the Chargers’ coaches. She asked the team
to take a vote (投票), knowing it would be difficult for the kids to choose.
“They all said, ‘It doesn’t matter. We’re a team and we’re sticking together (团结
一致),’” said Keisha.
The Chargers wasn’t allowed to play for a few weeks, but then the league
reversed its decision. The team, girls included, played the rest of the season. They
even made it to the championship (锦标赛) game — and won!
Kayla has some advice for other teams. “Make sure you are family — you have
each other’s back,” she says.

Every year thousands of people leave the comforts of their homes to learn a
foreign language in another country. But is it really a good decision to learn a
language by studying abroad? Here are some advantages and disadvantages (优势和
劣势):
Advantages
(61) __________
When you are in a foreign country, the local language comes easier and faster
because the language is everywhere — on the streets, in the stores, on the TV — you
can’t get away from it.
(62) __________
We often grow up thinking that our way of doing things is the only way, or
sometimes the best way. But living in a new culture helps us realize new ways of
doing things. Also, you may get to know classmates from all over the world.
(63) __________
Living in another country, even if it is with a host family, means you might be
doing things you may not have done in your home country. These include cooking,
cleaning, grocery shopping, washing clothes, etc. You may think of this as a
disadvantage, but many international students go home proud that they have become
very independant.
Disadvantages
(64) __________
Many people think that they just need to live in another country and they will
learn the local language. This is not completely true. You still need to pay attention
and study. There are people who have lived in foreign countries for many, many years
without knowing the language well.
(65) __________
You will probably have times when you miss your family, friends, food, and
everything familiar (熟悉的). Almost everyone goes through some culture shock. You
will have to realize and accept that it will take some time to get used to a new way of
living.
