A．surprised B．disappointed C．interested D．excited
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——我学习很努力，但还是没通过考试。——哦不！太糟糕了。你一定非常失望。
考查形容词辨析。surprised惊讶的；disappointed失望的；interested感兴趣的；excited兴奋的。根据“—I studied so hard, but I didn’t pass the exam. —Oh no! That’s too bad. You must be really...”可知，努力学习却没通过考试，这种情况通常会让人产生失落情绪。“disappointed”表示“失望的”，符合因努力未达预期而产生的负面感受。故选B。

A．unusual B．peaceful C．popular D．important
【答案】A
【详解】句意：这个故事如此不寻常，以至于我们以前从未见过类似的事情。
考查形容词辨析。unusual不寻常的；peaceful平静的；popular受欢迎的；important重要的。根据“we’ve never seen anything like it before.”可知，以前从未见过类似的事情，所以故事不同寻常，故选A。
3．—Have you gone through a terrible storm in your place

A．better B．the best C．worse D．the worst
【答案】D
【详解】句意：——你们那里经历了一场可怕的风暴吗？——是的，我们经历了。这是多年来我们遇到的最糟糕的风暴。
考查形容词最高级的用法。better更好的；the best最好的；worse更糟的；the worst最糟的。根据“we’ve had in years.”可知，此处需要表达“最糟糕的”意思，因此使用最高级形式。故选D。
4．—Who will go to the cinema tonight

A．except B．besides C．between D．without
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——今晚谁会去电影院？——我们班除了弗兰克之外每个人都会去。他生病在家。
考查介词辨析。except除……之外（不包括在内）；besides除……之外（还包括在内）；between在……之间；without没有。根据“—Who will go to the cinema tonight —Everyone in our class will go there...Frank. He is ill at home.”可知，弗兰克因生病不去电影院，班级其他人都去。“except”表示排除在外，即弗兰克不在去的人之中，符合语境。故选A。
5．Hard work ______ achieving success.
A．plays a big role in B．makes a difference to
C．looks forward to D．pays attention to
【答案】A
【详解】句意：努力工作在取得成功中起着很大的作用。

【导语】本文介绍树懒的生活习性、因森林砍伐和气候变化面临的生存威胁，以及人类通过救助中心、环保行动保护树懒的故事，呼吁守护树懒的栖息家园 。
1.句意：它们移动非常缓慢，大部分时间都坐在树上。
“spend time doing sth.” 是固定搭配，意为 “花费时间做某事”，此处需用动名词形式；B 项 “sit” 是动词原形，C 项 “to sit” 是不定式，D 项 “sat” 是过去式，均不符合搭配。故选 A。
2.句意：森林砍伐让它们的家园变小。
前文 “Deforestation”（砍伐森林）会导致树懒栖息地面积缩减，“smaller”（更小的）符合逻辑；A 项 “safe”（安全的）与砍伐带来的危害矛盾，B 项 “dangerous”（危险的）侧重环境安全性，非面积变化，C 项 “bigger”（更大的）与事实相反。故选 D。
3.句意：在哥斯达黎加，一个中心正在救助受伤的树懒。
结合语境，救助行动是当下持续进行的，用现在进行时 “is helping”；A 项 “helps” 是一般现在时（表常态，与 “当下救助” 不符），C 项 “helped” 是过去式（表过去动作），D 项 “will help” 是将来时（表未来动作），均不符合 “正在救助” 的语境。故选 B。
4.句意：她很虚弱，无法移动。
前文 “weak”（虚弱）暗示树懒行动受限，“unable”（不能的）符合逻辑；A 项 “able”（能的）与 “weak” 矛盾，C 项 “ready”（准备好的）、D 项 “happy”（开心的）均与 “虚弱” 的状态无关。故选 B。
5.句意：当游客来访时，他们了解树懒的生活和它们的重要性。
此处修饰名词 “importance”，需用形容词性物主代词 “their”；B 项 “them” 是宾格，C 项 “they” 是主格，D 项 “theirs” 是名词性物主代词，均无法修饰名词。故选 A。
6.句意：为了保护树懒，我们可以停止购买破坏雨林的产品。
结合环保逻辑，“stop doing sth.”（停止做某事）符合 “抵制有害产品” 的动作；B 项 “start”（开始）与保护意图相反，C 项 “keep”（保持）、D 项 “enjoy”（享受）均不符合 “减少伤害” 的逻辑。故选 A。
7.句意：种树和支持救助中心也有帮助。
前文列举保护行动，“help”（有帮助）直接说明行动的积极作用；A 项 “work”（起作用）侧重动作本身有效，非 “对树懒的帮助”，C 项 “use”（使用）、D 项 “make”（制作）均偏离 “保护效果” 的核心。故选 B。
8.句意：让我们确保它们能永远在树上的家园里生活。
“can” 是情态动词，后接动词原形，“live” 符合语法；B 项 “lives” 是第三人称单数形式，C 项 “living” 是动名词，D 项 “to live” 是不定式，均不符合情态动词的用法。故选 A。
9.句意：藻类在它们的皮毛上生长，赋予它们一种绿色。
“a green color” 表示 “一种绿色”，表泛指，且 “green” 以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词 “a”；B 项 “an” 用于元音音素开头的单词前，C 项 “the” 表特指，D 项不填不符合 “一种颜色” 的表达。故选 A。
10.句意：藻类可能死亡，树懒可能失去它们最好的伪装。
前文 “algae may die”（藻类死亡）会导致树懒失去伪装，“lose”（失去）符合因果逻辑；B 项 “find”（找到）、C 项 “get”（得到）与 “藻类死亡” 的结果矛盾，D 项 “miss”（错过）侧重 “未抓住机会”，非 “失去事物”。故选 A。
五、阅读单选
【答案】1.B 2. C 3. B 4. B 5. A
【导语】本文介绍黑脉金斑蝶（帝王蝶）的长途迁徙习性、面临的生存威胁（食物减少、气候变化），以及人类通过种植乳草、保护栖息地等方式的保护行动，揭示其迁徙背后的生态意义与国际关联 。
1.句意：帝王蝶为什么飞往墨西哥？
文章 “Part 1” 提到 “Monarchs can’t live in cold winters. So they fly to warm Mexico”，即躲避寒冬；A 项 “找更多食物”、C 项 “产卵”、D 项 “见其他蝴蝶” 均非迁徙主因，原文未提及。故选 B。
2.句意：哪一项不是帝王蝶面临的问题？
“Part 2” 阐述威胁：“milkweed plants are disappearing”（乳草消失）、“climate change makes the weather unpredictable”（气候变化）、“Storms can hurt the flying butterflies”（风暴伤害）；C 项 “翅膀变弱” 文中未提，其余选项均为原文明确的危机。故选 C。
3.句意：人们如何帮助帝王蝶？
“Part 3” 指出 “Many plant milkweed in their gardens to feed monarchs”，即种植乳草供其食用；A 项 “建造房屋”、C 项 “移到温暖处”（迁徙是蝴蝶自主行为，非人类搬运）、D 项 “喂糖水” 文中未提，均不符合。故选 B。
4.句意：从文章中我们能学到什么？
“Part 4” 说 “Their migration shows the connection between countries”，即迁徙象征国际间的生态关联；A 项 “只生活在北美” 错误（迁徙至墨西哥，跨区域），C 项 “所有蝴蝶都能完成迁徙”（原文 “not all survive”，表述绝对），D 项 “只生活在墨西哥” 错误（也在加拿大、美国繁殖），均排除。故选 B。
5.句意：文章最佳标题是______。
全文围绕 “帝王蝶的长途迁徙” 展开，从迁徙原因、危机到保护，A 项 “帝王蝶的漫长飞行” 涵盖核心；B 项仅聚焦 “乳草”，片面；C 项 “保护蝴蝶” 范围过大（文章专属帝王蝶）；D 项 “最美昆虫” 文中未提比较，均不贴切。故选 A。
六、七选五
【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了番茄的趣味知识，包括其植物学分类、起源、种类、名称由来及相关节日。

The chinchilla(栗鼠).
It lives in the Andes Mountains in South America, but people around the world keep them as pets.
We chose it because of its soft grey fur, tiny eyes, and big cute ears.
Their teeth don't stop growing throughout their lives, so they have to always be chewing. They are also an endangered species because people hunt them for their soft fur.
