1～5 BACAB 6～10 BABBA 11～15 ABBAA 16～20 ACABC

Ⅱ.21.C taste“尝起来”;smell“闻起来”;sound“听起来”;feel“摸起来;觉得”。本句中代词it指代上句中提到的Gangnam Style这首歌，歌曲与听觉相关，故用连系动词sound。句意：“你知道Gangnam Style这首歌吗?”“当然知道。它听起来很有趣。”

22.C 答语句意为“我通过和美国朋友聊天来练习英语”。这表示的是学习英语的方式，故用by;“和……一起”用介词with，chat with sb.意为“和某人聊天”。

23.B decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”，为固定搭配，故选B。

24.A 由句意知，“他成为一名老师，给学生少布置作业”是一种假设的情况，故if意为“如果”，引导的是条件状语从句;主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，且he是第三人称单数，故用becomes。

25.C mind doing sth.意为“介意做某事”，故选C。

26.A 动词不定式作tell的宾语补足语，tell sb.(not) to do sth.意为“告诉某人(不)做某事”，故选A。句意：我总是告诉我的学生不要在公路上玩，因为那样很危险。

27.C turn off“关闭”;put on“穿上”;get off“下车”;set up“搭起”。句意为“直到车停下你才能下车”，故get off符合句意。

29.C enjoy oneself是固定搭配，意为“玩得开心，过得愉快”。

30.A 本题考查代词用法。by oneself意为“靠某人自己”，learn...by oneself意为“自学”。

32.B 本题考查动词词义。understand理解，明白;imagine想象，设想;consider考虑到;expect期盼。根据前句“因特网与我们的日常生活联系如此密切”可知，本句句意为“你能想象没有它的生活吗?”。故imagine符合句意。

33.A 本题考查动词短语辨析。give out分发，散发;cut out切掉;put out熄灭;find out查明，弄清。由本句句意“许多志愿者在日本海啸之后给当地人分发食物和水”可知，give out符合句意。

34.D used to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“过去常常做某事”;be used to doing sth.也是固定搭配，意为“习惯于做某事”。故选D。答语句意：她很好。她过去常常晚饭后在家看电视。但现在她习惯于外出散步。

53.B 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第二段可知莫莉对公司作出调整，不是不想再经营公司，而是想抽出时间多照顾些家庭，所以A项所述错误;由第三段中莫莉对萨莉的评价可知她对萨莉是很满意的，故B项所述正确;由第一段可知莫莉觉得孩子对保姆的了解比对她的了解还多，但没有对保姆不满的意思，所以C项所述错误;由第一、二段可知莫莉在事业上很成功，但在家庭方面，她正在努力进行平衡，故D项所述错误。

Dear Editor,

My name is Wu Jun. I come from a village. Both of my parents are farmers. Several years ago, my family became very poor because my mother was ill. I had to leave school and went to work in Guangdong to get some money for my family. During the time I worked, I hoped I could get a chance to go back to school.

Later, thanks to the Hope Project, I went back to school and studied with my classmates. Now I am good at all of my lessons. I hope I can be a teacher to help poor children in the future.

Yours,

Wu Jun
