用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。(本大题共6小题，每小题1分，共6分)
46. At this time yesterday, everyone except Tom and John ________ (practise) playing football on the playground.
【答案】was practising
【解析】
句意：昨天这个时候，除了汤姆和约翰，大家都在操场上练习踢足球。根据“At this time yesterday”可知，时态用过去进行时was/were doing，主语是不定代词everyone，be用was。故填was practising。
47. The traffic problem ________ (become) more serious in a few years.
【答案】will become
【解析】
句意：交通问题在几年后将会变得更严重。根据“in+一段时间”表示“多长时间后”，常用于一般将来时态，此处用助动词will后接动词原形become。故填will become。
48. Mary ________ (not fall) asleep until her parents came back last night.
【答案】didn’t fall
【解析】
句意：玛丽昨晚直到她父母回来才睡着。根据句中的时间状语“last night”可知，句子的时态为一般过去时；所填词在句中作谓语且表示否定，应借助助动词did，其后跟动词原形。故填didn’t fall。
49. ________ (visit) New York, just click on the icon at the top of the page and pick the city in the menu.
【答案】To visit
【解析】
句意：要参观纽约，只需点击页面顶部的图标，并在菜单中选择城市。visit“参观”，是动词，结合“just click on the icon at the top of the page and pick the city in the menu.”可知，点击图标，并在菜单中选择城市，目的是参观纽约，因此用动词不定式作目的状语，故填To visit。
50. So far, the computer ________ (bring) us great changes in our life.
【答案】has brought
【解析】
句意：到目前为止，计算机给我们的生活带来了巨大的变化。bring“带来”，根据“So far”可知，此处用现在完成时，其构成为主语+have/has+done，主语the computer是第三人称单数，故填has brought。
51. All of us couldn’t stop ________ (scream) while we were enjoying ourselves on the roller coaster.
【答案】screaming
【解析】
句意：当我们在过山车上玩得很开心时我们所有人都忍不住尖叫起来。stop doing sth“停止做某事”，scream“尖叫”，空处应用动名词形式。故填screaming。
七、阅读填空 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分)
先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。
If you drop a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, will you think about eating it again What if you drop it in the toilet Bacteria (细菌) can live here and there, even in some unexpected places.
If you eat at your computer or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl.
Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand Yes, the TV remote control. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists have found that around half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).
Don’t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom Studies show that flushing (抽水冲洗) the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It’s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.
The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used.
Bacteria can’t be avoided, but don’t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands often. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.
Bacteria Live ___52___
Computer A computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl. Wash your hands before and after ___53___ down to surf the Internet.
TV remote control It is one of the dirtiest things in your home. About ___54___ per cent of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus.
Toothbrush Flushing the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Don’t put your toothbrush ___55___ the toilet.
Kitchen There are even more bacteria than the bathroom. Try to make dishcloths and kitchen sponges ___56___.
Don’t be afraid. Remember to wash your hands often.
【答案】52. everywhere
53. sitting
54. 50##fifty
55. near56. dry
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了细菌存在于生活中的各个角落，而要想保护自己免受细菌的侵害，最简单的方法就是勤洗手。
【52题】
根据“Bacteria can live here and there”可知，细菌无处不在。everywehere“到处；出处”，地点副词。故填everywhere。
【53题】
根据“sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health.”可知，坐下来上网前后应当洗手。sit down“坐下”，设空处位于介词后作宾语，应填写其动名词形式。故填sitting。
【54题】
根据“Scientists have found that around half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus.”可知，大约一半的被测试遥控器携带感冒病毒，即百分之五十。fifty“五十”。故填50/fifty。
【55题】
根据“Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet.”可知，尽量让牙刷远离马桶，即不要靠近马桶，near“靠近；接近”。故填near。
【56题】
根据“Dishcloths and kitchen sponges are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used.”可知，湿的抹布和厨房海绵是细菌滋生的好地方，所以要让它们保持干燥。dry“干燥的”，“make sth.+形容词”意为“让某物怎么样‘。故填dry。
八、完成句子
按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子。(本大题共6小题，每小题1分，共6分)
57. 政府已经把这家旧剧院变成了一处旅游景点。
The government ______________ a tourist attraction.
【答案】has turned the old theatre into
【解析】
根据汉英对照可知，本题考查turn...into...“把……变成……”；根据汉语提示可知，句子的时态为现在完成时，其结构为：have/has+done。句子的主语“The government”为第三人称单数，助动词应该用has，“旧剧院”对应的英文为old theatre，turn的过去分词为turned。故填has turned the old theatre into。
58. 这些名著为我开启了一个全新的世界。
The famous books ________ to me.
【答案】open up a whole new world
【解析】
open up表示“开放，开启”；a whole new world“一个全新的世界”。主语是复数，时态为一般现在时，谓语动词用原形。故填open up a whole new world。
59. 这本书我已借了一周了。我是上周借的。
I ________________. I borrowed it last week.
【答案】have kept the book for a week##have kept the book for one week
【解析】
根据句意可知用现在完成时，其构成是have/has+过去分词，主语是I，助动词用have；borrow是非延续性动词，这里“借”需要用延续性动词，所以改为keep，keep的过去分词为kept；the book“这本书”；for a/one week“一周”。故填have kept the book for a/one week。
60. 我爸爸已去海南出差过两次了。
My dad ________________ twice.
【答案】has been to Hainan on business
【解析】
根据中英文对照可知，此处考查现在完成时，has/have been to“去过某地”，主语是第三人称单数，故用助动词has；on business“出差”。故填has been to Hainan on business。
61. 你花了多少时间把这本读物翻译成法语？
How long did you spend ________________
【答案】translating the read into French
【解析】
根据中文提示可知，缺少“把这本读物翻译成法语”，“读物”为read，“把……翻译成法语”为translate…into French，“花时间做某事”为spend…doing sth，此处应用动名词形式，故填translating the read into French。
62. 他从未梦想过作为一名篮球运动员闻名于世。
He has never ________________ as a basketball player.
【答案】dreamed of becoming world-famous##dreamed of being world-famous##dreamed about becoming world-famous##dreamed about being world-famous##dreamt of becoming wolrd-famous##dreamt of being world-famous##dreamt about becoming world-famous##dreamt about being world-famous
【解析】
对比中英文可知，空处表示“梦想……闻名于世”。根据“He has never”可知，此句为现在完成时。dream of/about“梦想”，dream的过去分词为dreamed/dreamt；be/become world-famouse“闻名于世”，介词后用动名词，故用being/becoming。故填dreamed of becoming world-famous/dreamed of being world-famous/dreamed about becoming world-famous/dreamed about being world-famous/dreamt of becoming world-famous/dreamt of being world-famous/dreamt about becoming world-famous/dreamt about being world-famous

Anne and Diana dressed in their very best clothes. Anne’s clothes were not as pretty as Diana’s, but she imagined that they were. They rode through the snow to the concert.

Do video games do harm to our children Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99% of kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week. This information shows that we must carefully think about the good points and bad points of video games.
For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too. They make kids think in a creative way and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child’s brain works. What’s more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology(技术) because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing violent(暴力的) or scary(恐怖的) games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can influence children’s social skills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, ▲
In a word, it seems clear that video games have some advantages(优点) and some disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.
33. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. kids B. computers C. video games D. parents
34. Which disadvantages of video games are mentioned in the passage
a. result in bad grades
b. make kids feel bored
c. lead to health problems
d. influence children’s social skills
e. cause problems between parents and kids
A. c, d, e B. b, d, e C. a, c, d D. a, b, c
35. Which sentence may be the best to fill in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4
A. they might form violent characteristics.
B. they might have eye or weight problems.
C. they might not be able to pass the exams at school.
D. they might not know how to play with their friends.
36. What’s the structure（结构） of the passage
A. B. C. D.
37. Which of the following would the writer agree with
A. Kids can play some violent or scary games for fun.
B. Parents should stop their kids from playing any video games.
C. Parents should make sure their kids spend all the time on schoolwork.
D. Kids can make a timetable for schoolwork, exercise, friends and video games.
