7. A
句意：爱德华，你弹得那么好。但我却不知道你弹钢琴。所谈论的是过去的行为，故用一般过去时。
8. B
句意：“这里的食物不错。”“我的朋友介绍给我一个好地方。”表示过去的行为。
9. D
根据this morning可知应用一般过去时。
10. B
本题考查具体语境中的时态，由后一句隐藏的时间状语at the time可知是过去。
11. B
句意：玛丽午饭时去了售票处，但是票已经售完。由句意可知先售完票，后去售票处，故用过去完成时。
12. D
句意：她盯着那幅画看，在想她在哪儿见过它。see的动作发生在stared之前，所以为过去完成时。
13. B
答语句意为“不，我已经看过那本书了，已经知道那个故事了”。在“knew the story”前已看过，故用过去完成时。
14. B
根据第一句话的时态，可知下一句是对过去情况的推测。再根据条件状语从句与主句的搭配，应该选择“情态动词+have+P.P.”结构，排除A、C两项。B项意思是“或许，大概”，D项表示将来完成，如果will换成would也可，故本题选择B项。句意： “她去年和父母去美国了。”“如果当时她不去那里，她或许会帮你一些忙的。”
15. B
根据前一句的时态，可知空格处是对过去情况的推测，排除A、C两项。B项表示“过去一定”，D项表示“过去本该做”，而事实上没做。根据句意选择B项。句意：“你听到电话响了吗？”“没有，我没有听到电话响，我一定是睡着了。”
16. C
由后半句句意“否则他会打电话给我的”可以推断出“杰克可能还没到”这一事实，表示对过去情况否定的推测应采用“can’t+have+P.P.”这一结构，故选择C项。

It was an early September day, cool and bright and just
right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course (路线) with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.
Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount
Kisco, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace(步速) felt comfortable, so 1 decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake (追上) her later on when she tired.
So I ran behind her. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.
Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.
Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long
punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.
There is an important lesson in that race.
Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say that it is often hard work.
1. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?
A. It would be hard work.
C. It would be an easy race.
C. It would be a test of his strength.
D. It would be a good learning experience.
答案: B
指导：首先要审清题干，注意题干中的inthebeginning。
本文第一段、第二段中的一些词如energetic，a fine run，running easily，comfortable等都反映出作者开始认为这场比赛不会很难。
2. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?
A. Peggy overtook the young runner.
B. Peggy was running energetically.
C. Peggy was laughing at the writer.
D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.
答案: B
指导：由第四段倒数第一句"You don't chat during a race unless you are feeling good”可知作者认为：你在比赛中聊天表示你感觉很好。而上句peggy恰恰在比赛中聊天反映出作者认为Peggy在比赛中的感觉，作为Peggy的对手，他当然很担心。
3. By saying" a long, punishing hill"(Paragraph 5) , the writer implies that_______.
A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop
B. men are more skilled at climbing hills
C. overtaking Peggy would be easy
D. climbing the hill would be a demanding task
答案: D
指导：下句中的test一词，能够反映作者当时的感觉，所以D为最佳选项。
4. What lesson does the writer learn from the race?
A. Women are as good as men in sport.
B. Women are better at climbing hills.
C. He should have more training in a cross-country race.
D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.
答案: A
指导：文章倒数第一段倒数第一、二句是做此题的关键句。
I
Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活) if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks.
The faces of the desert mountains are always changing--very, very slowly--as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the deserr. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
1. Many plants may survive in deserts when_______.
A. the rain is spread out in a year
B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year
D. it is dry all the year round .
答案: A
指导：通过第一段内容可推出，此外作为中学生都应该有这样的常识，这题应是一个送分题。
2. Sand dunes are formed when_______.
A. sand piles up gradually
B. there is plenty of rain in a year
C. the sea has dried up over the years
D. pieces of rock get smaller
答案: A
指导：第二段第二句给出了明确答案。
3. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably
means that in a desert there is_______.
A. too much sand
B. more sand than before
C. nothing except sand
D. something else besides sand
答案: D
指导：首先理解画线句子中的more．．．than(与……相比多于，不只是)，然后根据本段其他句子进行推断。划线部分在本段是topic sentence，其他的句子是supporting sentence. 如果不明白主题句，可从支撑句中去推断，反之也是如此。
4. It can be learned from the text that in a desert_______.
A. there is no rainfall throughout the year
B. life exists in rough conditions
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high
D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat
答案：
