My grandmother knew just how to do that. She grew flowers with soil, water and love, so her back garden was filled with beautiful flowers. She would smile when she saw the sunshine down on them. In her front garden she planted flowers, too. You could see red, white, and yellow flowers in it. My mom and I used to walk around them and enjoy their smells. Beautiful butterflies (蝴蝶) flew down on them. Grandma also cared for the wild flowers. She would send my brother and me out to pick flowers and would then turn those flowers into delicious wine (酒).
Grandma not only planted flowers in the gardens but also planted flowers in our hearts. Her delicious dinners made with love encouraged us. Her sweet smiles always made us happy. Her hugs (拥抱) and kisses were the sunshine that kept our own love growing day after day.
Take the time to plant a few flowers yourself today. Show your smiles, kindness and love. Plant your wishes, talents and pleasure. Make this world brighter and brighter with your sunshine.

根据上文 Have you seen your favorite tigers Yes与下文:Why not 可知，此处应表述“它们看起来不好。”故选C。
【63题详解】
根据上文Because they had to stay in cages(笼子) and they were dirty.可知，下文对“动物不好的处境”表示“遗憾”。 故选A。
【64题详解】

八.词汇考查(用所给单词的适当形式填空共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
66. It takes me half an hour ________ (practice) playing the piano. How about you
【答案】to practice
【解析】
【详解】句意：我花了半个小时练习弹钢琴。你呢？It takes sb. 时间/金钱 to do sth.是固定句型，意为“花费某人时间或金钱做某事”，因此空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to practice。
67. The two ________ (mouse) can be used to control the computers.
【答案】mouses
【解析】
【详解】句意：这两个鼠标可以用来控制电脑。mouse作“老鼠”时，复数是mice；作“鼠标”时，复数是mouses。这里基数词“two”修饰名词复数。根据“to control the computers”可知，应该是“鼠标”，复数是mouses。故填mouses。
68. I have learned how ________ (send) e-mails on the computer. It’s easier for us to keep in touch.
【答案】to send
【解析】
【详解】句意：我学会了如何在电脑上发送电子邮件。这样我们更容易保持联系。根据“I have learned how ... e-mails on the computer.”可知，此处指如何在电脑上发邮件，应用疑问词+不定式，作宾语。故填to send。
69. The man has _______ (steal) many things from the company.
【答案】stolen
【解析】
【详解】句意：这个人从公司偷了很多东西。steal“偷”，此处用过去分词和助动词has构成现在完成时。故填stolen。
70. After a discussion, they made a ________ (decide) to go fishing.
【答案】decision
【解析】
【详解】句意：经过讨论，他们决定去钓鱼。根据空格前面的冠词a，可判断这里缺少一个名词。decide的名词形式是decision。故填decision。
71 All the Chinese people must work hard ________ (realize) Chinese Dream.
【答案】to realize
【解析】
【详解】句意：全体中国人民必须为实现中国梦而努力奋斗。realize“实现”，设空处后内容为“work hard”的目的，应填写动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to realize。
72. He went to school in a hurry without ________ (have) breakfast.
【答案】having
【解析】
【详解】句意：他没有吃早饭就匆匆忙忙地去上学了。without“没有”，为介词，后接动名词；have的动名词为having。故填having。
73. She prefers to eat outside rather than ________ (cook) at home.
【答案】cook
【解析】
【详解】句意：她宁愿出去吃而不愿意在家做饭。prefer to do...rather than do...固定结构，意为“宁愿做……而不愿做……”。在该结构中，rather than后加动词原形。故填cook。
74. I’m considering ________ (go) to Australia to see my daughter this year.
【答案】going
【解析】
【详解】句意：我正在考虑今年去澳大利亚看望我的女儿。consider doing sth.“考虑做某事”。故填going。
75. It is ________ (possible) for him to finish the work in such a short time. After all, he is a green hand.
【答案】impossible
【解析】
【详解】句意：他不可能在这么短的时间内完成这项工作。毕竟，他是个新手。根据“he is a green hand.”可知，他是一个新手，所以不可能在这么短的时间内完成工作；impossible“不可能的”，形容词作表语。故填impossible。
九.按要求完成句子(每空1分，满分20分）
76. 做家庭作业占用了他大部分空闲时间。
Doing homework ________ ________ most of his free time.

77. 正如专家所说：“能不能学好取决于你的学习习惯。”
As the experts said, “Whether or not you can study well ________ ________ your learning habits.”
【答案】 ①. depends ②. on
【解析】
【详解】取决于：depend on；句子描述客观情况，用一般现在时，主语是主语从句，谓语动词用单三。故填depends；on。
78. 在做出选择时，你应该倾听自己的心声，不要对自己撒谎。
When making choices, you should listen to your heart and not ________ ________ yourself.
【答案】 ①. lie ②. to
【解析】

79. 明天的大雨可能会阻碍我们外出。
The heavy rain may________us from________out tomorrow.
【答案】 ①. stop/prevent/keep ②. going
【解析】
【详解】对比中英文可知，“阻止某人做某事”可以用stop/prevent/keep sb from doing sth，空前有情态动词may，因此stop/prevent/keep用原形。“外出”用短语go out，在介词from后动词go用动名词形式，即going。故填stop/prevent/keep；going。
80. 除了英语之外，他还擅长法语。
________ ________ English, he is also good at French.
【答案】 ①. Aside ②. from
【解析】
【详解】除……之外（还包括）：aside from，介词短语，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Aside；from。

82. He got up after his mother came back.（改为同义句）
He ________ get up ________ his mother came back.
【答案】 ①. didn’t ②. until

【详解】句意：他妈妈回来后就起床了。此处可改为“直到他妈妈回来，他才起床”，not...until“直到……才”，根据“got”可知变否定句借助didn’t。故填didn’t；until。
83. I have already finished reading the novel. (改为一般疑问句)
________ you finished reading the novel ________
【答案】 ①. Have ②. yet
【解析】
【详解】句意：我已经读完这本小说了。改为一般疑问句，需要将助动词have提前到句首，already改为yet，放于句尾。故填Have；yet。
84. Mr. Green gave good advice to us.(改为感叹句)
________ ________ advice Mr Green gave us!
【答案】 ①. What ②. good
【解析】
【详解】感叹句的中心词是不可数名词advice，用感叹句结构：what adj. n.+主谓，形容词good修饰名词。故填What；good。
85. He has lived in Jiuquan for 10 years. (划线处提问)
________ ________ has he lived in Jiuquan
【答案】 ①. How ②. long
【解析】
【详解】句意：他在酒泉住了10年。划线部分是时间段，疑问词用how long。故填How；long。

【答案】例文
Why Are Plants Important
As we can see, the first picture shows that cutting down the trees is like killing ourselves, and the second picture says we should plant more trees to protect our environment. I think plants are important for us. And we can’t live without plants. Plants help clean the air and it is pleasant to walk among the trees. We can also get the food from plants, such as apples, wheat and so on. We can use plants to make and build things—like chairs, beds and houses. Plants can stop the wind and water from carrying the soil away. Plants are very important. So we need plants, and we should try our best to protect them.

There is an old saying:“Take the time to stop and smell the flowers.” I think we should also take the time to plant flowers.
My grandmother knew just how to do that. She grew flowers with soil, water and love, so her back garden was filled with beautiful flowers. She would smile when she saw the sunshine down on them. In her front garden she planted flowers, too. You could see red, white, and yellow flowers in it. My mom and I used to walk around them and enjoy their smells. Beautiful butterflies (蝴蝶) flew down on them. Grandma also cared for the wild flowers. She would send my brother and me out to pick flowers and would then turn those flowers into delicious wine (酒).
Grandma not only planted flowers in the gardens but also planted flowers in our hearts. Her delicious dinners made with love encouraged us. Her sweet smiles always made us happy. Her hugs (拥抱) and kisses were the sunshine that kept our own love growing day after day.
Take the time to plant a few flowers yourself today. Show your smiles, kindness and love. Plant your wishes, talents and pleasure. Make this world brighter and brighter with your sunshine.
