I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧場(chǎng)) in San Ysidro. He told me a story about a young boy when he was in high school.

One day, the boy was asked to write a paper 1   (for/about/with) what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven - page paper describing his goal of someday 2   (own/to own/owning) a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and even drew a picture of a 200 - acre ranch, showing the 3   (house/horse/ranch) and the location of everything.

The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”

The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?”

The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic (不切實(shí)際的) dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of 4   (time/money/energy). You have no way to get the money.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “You have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important 5   (decision/dream/goal) for you.”

Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He said, “You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream.”

1. A. for B. about C. with D. in

2. A. own B. to own C. owning D. owned

3. A. house B. horse C. ranch D. farm

4. A. time B. money C. energy D. work

5. A. decision B. dream C. goal D. paper

The world's first 3D - printed rocket has been successfully launched into space from New Zealand. The rocket, called Electron, was made by a company named Rocket Lab. It took off from a launch pad (發(fā)射臺(tái)) on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand.

The Electron rocket is made mostly of carbon - fiber composite materials (碳纖維復(fù)合材料). These materials are very strong and light. Using 3D - printing technology, Rocket Lab was able to build the rocket in a much shorter time than traditional methods. The company says it can now build a rocket in just a few months.

答案

一、單項(xiàng)選擇

1. 答案：C

• 解析：need 意為 “需要”；must 表示 “一定”，可能性很大；may 表示 “可能”，可能性較??；will 表示 “將要”。根據(jù) “I'm not sure.” 可知，媽媽不太確定，所以是可能是叔叔送的禮物，選 C。

2. 答案：D

• 解析：四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有 “花費(fèi)” 的意思。cost 的主語(yǔ)是物，常用結(jié)構(gòu)為 “sth. cost (sb.) + 金錢”；spend 的主語(yǔ)是人，常用結(jié)構(gòu)為 “sb. spend + 時(shí)間 / 金錢 + (in) doing sth. /on sth.”；pay 的主語(yǔ)是人，常用結(jié)構(gòu)為 “sb. pay + 金錢 + for sth.”；take 常用于 “It takes (sb.) + 時(shí)間 + to do sth.” 結(jié)構(gòu)，表示 “做某事花費(fèi)（某人）多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間”。本句是該結(jié)構(gòu)的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式，所以選 D。

3. 答案：D

• 解析：根據(jù) “when I got to the cinema” 可知，“我到達(dá)電影院” 是過(guò)去的時(shí)間點(diǎn)，而電影開(kāi)始的動(dòng)作在 “我到達(dá)” 之前就已經(jīng)發(fā)生，即 “過(guò)去的過(guò)去”，要用過(guò)去完成時(shí)，排除 A 和 C 選項(xiàng)。begin 是短暫性動(dòng)詞，不能和 “for 15 minutes” 表示的時(shí)間段連用，要用延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞 be on，其過(guò)去完成時(shí)形式為 had been on，所以選 D。

4. 答案：B

• 解析：根據(jù) “than” 可知要用比較級(jí)，interesting 的比較級(jí)是 more interesting，much 可以修飾比較級(jí)，用來(lái)加強(qiáng)程度，所以是 much more interesting，選 B。A 選項(xiàng) much 不能直接修飾原級(jí) interesting；C 選項(xiàng) more 和 much 的位置錯(cuò)誤；D 選項(xiàng) interesting 是原級(jí)，不符合要求。

2. 答案：C

3. 答案：A

• 解析：根據(jù) “drew a picture of a 200 - acre ranch” 可知，畫(huà)了一個(gè) 200 英畝牧場(chǎng)的圖，后面應(yīng)該是展示牧場(chǎng)里的房子和其他東西的位置，house 符合語(yǔ)境。horse 是 “馬”；ranch 是 “牧場(chǎng)”，前面已經(jīng)提到畫(huà)的是牧場(chǎng)；farm 是 “農(nóng)場(chǎng)”，與前面提到的牧場(chǎng)有區(qū)別，這里強(qiáng)調(diào)的是牧場(chǎng)里的房子，所以選 house。

四、書(shū)面表達(dá)

Dear Tom,

I'm glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese traditional festivals. I'd like to introduce the Spring Festival to you.

The Spring Festival falls in January or February. It is the most important festival in China. Before the festival, people clean their houses and buy a lot of food. On New Year's Eve, families get together and have a big dinner. We also set off fireworks to celebrate.

I love the Spring Festival because it is a time for family reunions. We can enjoy delicious food and spend quality time with our loved ones. It makes me feel the strong bond of our family.

I hope you can come to China to experience the Spring Festival someday.

Best wishes,

Li Hua
