1.1.
A song
B story
C question
D picture
解析:选C。C细节理解题。下文提到了“no one answered”,表明老师提出了一个问题,但没有人回答。因此,空格处应该填入“question”,表示问题。
2.2.
A heavy
B big
C old
D thick
解析:选A。A推理判断题。句子中提到了书的重量,所以需要使用形容词来描述它,而heavy是描述重量的形容词。因此,答案为A。
3.3.
A guess
B practise
C read
D search
解析:选A。A句意理解题。句子中提到了“开始想和猜测书的重量”,所以正确的动词应该是guess,表示猜测的意思。
4.4.
A Luckily
B Especially
C Secretly
D Finally
解析:选D。D细节理解题。上文提到学生们对书的重量有不同的看法,老师最后给出了解释,所以应该使用“finally”表示最终、最后的意思。
5.5.
A little
B much
C nothing
D everything
解析:选B。B句意理解题。“It doesn’t only depend on the real weight. It also has ___10___ to do with the time we hold it”。这不仅取决于书的实际重量,还与我们持书的时间有很大关系。“have much to do with”,表示“与……有很大关系”,因此选项B“much”符合语境。
6.6.
A break
B wound
C disease
D pain
解析:选D。D句意理解题。句子中提到“如果我举一个小时,我的右臂会感到疼痛”,所以正确答案是D,即“疼痛”。
7.7.
A and
B so
C but
D for
解析:选C。C细节理解题。句子中出现了转折关系,前面说书的重量是一样的,但是后面说举的时间越长,感觉越重,因此需要使用转折连词but。
8.8.
A makes up
B stands for
C takes in
D leads to
解析:选B。B句意理解题。句子中使用“stands for”这个短语,表示“代表”的意思,因此B选项是正确答案。句子的意思是“这本书代表压力”。
9.9.
A stress
B time
C pleasure
D knowledge
解析:选A。A句意理解题。句子中提到“无论你有多少压力”,所以空格处需要填入与“压力”相关的名词,而A选项“stress”正是表示“压力”的名词。因此,A选项是正确答案。
10.10.
A troubled
B excused
C feared
D thanked
解析:选D。D句意理解题。句子的意思是“我们都感谢怀特老师给了我们这样一堂有意义的课,这对我们很有帮助。”所以空格处应该要填表示感谢的词,所以应该选择D选项“thanked”
