【解题导语】 教练意外把Danny的名字漏写了,导致Danny没有参加决赛,但观看队友们赢得比赛,他同样高兴和兴奋。这个故事告诉我们,团队中每个人都很重要。
1.【解析】 根据上文的“he was wanted by the coach in the principle's office”可知,校长要见Danny。由语境及常识可推测,Danny应是感到担心的。anxious意为“担忧的,担心的”;upset意为“沮丧的”;amused意为“高兴的”;awkward意为
“尴尬的”。故选A。
【答案】 A
2.【解析】 结合上文内容可知,Danny有点儿担心,所以此处应是深吸一口气。look意为“表情”;hesitation意为“迟疑”;breath意为“呼吸”;courage意为“勇气”。故选C。
【答案】 C
3.【解析】 结合上文可知,此处指Danny深吸一口气之后走进了校长办公室。rush意为“冲”;march意为“前进”;pace意为“踱”;step意为“行走”。故选D。
【答案】 D
4.【解析】 结合语境及空后的“the desk sat coach Geller”可知,此处是指教练和校长面对面坐着,故选B。
【答案】 B
5.【解析】 结合上下文可知,此处是指Danny觉得如果妈妈都到学校来了,肯定是出了大问题,也就是他陷入了麻烦。be in shape意为“身材好”;be in trouble意为“处于麻烦中”;be in danger意为“处于危险中”;be in difficulty意为“处于困境中”。分析选项可知,B项符合此处的语境。
【答案】 B
6.【解析】 根据上文“I've got some bad news”可知,Danny听到这句话肯定是觉得很紧张,所以他用力地咽了口唾沫。swallow表示“(由于紧张等)做吞咽动作”,故选C。其余3个选项均不符合语境。
【答案】 C
7.【解析】 根据上文的“when his baseball teammate Max told him”可知,此处用“打球”符合逻辑,且下文的“the rules state that every player has to be listed in order to participate”也有暗示,play和player是同源复现。故选C。
【答案】 C
8.【解析】 根据空后的“2∶2”可知,此处是指“打成了平局”。tie意为“打成平局”;defeat意为“打败”;score意为“得分”;fight意为“打架”。故选A。
【答案】 A
9.【解析】 根据“Coach Geller __9__ left your name off the list and the rules state that every player has to be listed in order to participate”并结合语境可知,Geller教练没写Danny的名字是个意外,此处用“意外地”符合语境。unbelievably意为“难以置信地”;deliberately意为“故意地”;carefully意为“仔细地”;accidentally意为“意外地”。故选D。
【答案】 D
10.【解析】 根据下文的“Additions are not allowed”可知,此处Danny问的是
“能加上我的名字吗”,且add和addition是同根词。故选A。
【答案】 A
11.【解析】 根据下文的“First his team was ahead”可知,比赛刚开始,所以本句句意应是:比赛开始时,Danny在看台坐着。in the way意为“阻碍”;under way意为“进行”;in a dilemma意为“进退两难”;under control意为“在控制下”。故选B。

【答案】 B
13.【解析】 根据空前一句“Finally, Danny's team scored the winning run.”可知,Danny的队伍赢得了比赛。故推测,他此时的心情应是很激动、很兴奋的,他猛地从座位上站起来。比较4个选项可知,C项符合此处的语境。
【答案】 C
14.【解析】 根据上文“Danny __13__ out of his seat.”可知,Danny此时还在看台,所以此处指的是他迫不及待地走下看台并进入赛场。coach意为“教练”;business意为“商务”;court意为“法庭”;field意为“赛场”。故选D。

【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了宋朝的一项重要发明——活字印刷,并提到中国人最先发明指南针。
16.【解析】 考查代词。根据语境可知,此处表示“在宋朝国力鼎盛时期”,故用形容词性物主代词its。
【答案】 its
17.【解析】 考查介词。根据语境可知,此处表示“来自统治者的大力支持”,故填from,表示“来自”。
【答案】 from
18.【解析】 考查名词。空前有形容词practical,故应填apply的名词形式,表示“应用,运用”。
【答案】 application(s)
19.【解析】 考查动词的被动语态。根据语境可知,每个单独的方块能够印一个单字,然后可以再次被使用,故填be used。
【答案】 be used
20.【解析】 考查连词。根据句意可知,空前说汉语用大量的文字,空后说大部分欧洲语言用单独的字母。故此处前后形成对比或表示转折,应用while或but。
【答案】 while/but
21.【解析】 考查时态和主谓一致。此句主语是动名词短语“Printing texts”且描述的是客观情况,谓语动词需要用第三人称单数形式requires。
【易错点拨】 要注意made up of individual letters是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰texts。
【答案】 requires
22.【解析】 考查词形转换。分析句子结构并根据语境可知,此处作定语,修饰communication,意为“书面交流”,故应用形容词written(书面的)。
【答案】 written
23.【解析】 考查词形转换。空前为a,空后为名词number,故此处应用形容词growing,表示“增长的,增加的”,作定语修饰number。
【答案】 growing
24.【解析】 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非性定语从句,先行
词为the compass,故填关系代词which。
【答案】 which
25.【解析】 考查形容词的比较级。根据语境可知,此处表示“使海上旅行更安全”,所以需填safe的比较级形式safer。
【答案】 safer
