Ⅰ.单项填空
1．He was a good student and scored ______ average in most subjects.
A．below B．of
C．on
D．above
解析 考查介词辨析。句意：他是个好学生，而且大部分课程的成绩高于平均分。above average高于平均水平；below average低于平均水平；on average按平均计算。根据a good student可知D项正确。
答案 D
2．—Would you get me a bar of chocolate from the kitchen，dear?
—______ one?
A．Other
B．Every
C．Another
D．More
解析 考查不定代词用法。句意：——亲爱的，帮我从厨房拿块巧克力来好吗？——再来一块吗？other后通常跟名词复数，如Did you see any other films？你看过别的电影吗？every是形容词，every one意为“每一个”；another one意为“另一个，再一个”，故选C项。more应放在one的后面。
答案 C
3．This restaurant has become popular for its wide______ of foods that suit all tastes and pockets.
A．division
B．area
C．range
D．circle
解析 在具体语境中考查名词词义。句意：这家餐馆因其各种各样适合所有人口味及腰包的食品而深受大家的喜爱。division“分离；部门；分歧”；area“领域；地区”；range“批，组，类；范围”，a wide range of sth.“各种各样的……”；circle“圆形；圈子”。根据句意及词义可知，range符合语境。
答案 C
4．The temperature all over the world is becoming warmer and warmer for ______ gases has come into the air.
A．a great deal of
B．a large amount of
C．much
D．a large quantity of
解析 考查形容词短语辨析。用排除法去做。A、B、C均修饰不可数名词。此处gases为可数名词。
答案 D
5．—Our holiday cost a lot of money.
—Did it？Well，that doesn’t matter________you enjoyed yourselves.
A．as long as
B．unless
C．as soon as
D．though
解析 考查状语从句的引导词。句意：——我们的假期花了很多钱。——是吗？只要你们玩得开心，那也就没有关系了。as long as只要；unless除非；as soon as一……就 ……；though尽管。根据句意可知此处as long as引导条件状语从句，符合句意。
答案 A
6．I’ll spend half of my holiday practising English and______half learning drawing.
A．another
B．the other
C．other’s
D．other
解析 考查代词的用法。首先要弄清各个代词的具体用法，同时要把握解答该题的切入点。句意：我将用假期的一半时间来练习英语，用另一半时间学习绘画。another指不定数目中的另一个；other作代词用时，除习惯用语外，一般不单独使用，但others可单独使用；other’s 本身形式不对；the other指两个人或两个事物中的另一个，复数形式指其余的人或事物。
答案 B
7．—How did it ______ that you made such a silly mistake?
—I myself haven’t figured it out yet.
A．bring about

A．Comparing；with

D．compared
解析 考查非谓语动词。compare的逻辑主语是句子的主语Michael’s new house，且二者之间为动宾关系，所以应该用过去分词作状语。

Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children’s every demand at Christmas，say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish，claim the education analysts.
Consumersavvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.
Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said，“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids.There’s nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not ageappropriate.”
Ms Calland，who runs “Santa Says No”
style sessions with
colleague Nicky Hutchinson，added，“Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped，once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for，they have now lost interest in.”
Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”．
Ms Calland said，“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”
“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind，they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”
【语篇解读】 本文是时文阅读。由于父母对孩子圣诞节的要求无限制地满足，产生了“I want it now”一代。
5．What is the main problem with the “I want it now” generation?
A．They are quite selfcentered.
B．They like to live in fairy tales. C．They waste a lot of money on gifts.
D．They can’t keep their interest in gifts.
解析 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句中的“Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish”以及倒数第二段中的“a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others”可知“ I want it now”一代很自私、以自我为中心。
答案 A
6．What is probably the aim of “Santa Says No” style sessions?
A．To advise on how to wrap gifts properly.
B．To keep children’s interest in the gifts.
C．To tell parents how to say no to children’s demands.
D．To advise parents on what gifts to buy for children.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四、五段内容可知，“Santa Says No” style sessions的目的是教父母如何对孩子的无限制的要求说不。
答案 C
7．According to the passage，we can infer that Ms Calland intends to________.
A．analyze children’s behavior
B．give advice to parents
C．introduce a new generation

答案 B
8．Ms Calland would agree that parents should________.
A．buy nothing for children at Christmas
B．choose gifts carefully for children
C．let children choose their own gifts
