Ⅲ.16.C 考查介词辨析。句意:“琳达,你经常骑自行车上班吗?”“是的,但是在雨天,我坐我爸爸的小汽车上班。”by是介词,表示“通过”,后面直接接具体的交通工具,相当于“in/on +a/one’s+交通工具(只有飞机、轮船、小汽车用in,其余用on)”。故选C。
17.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意:你们不得不分享这些书,因为没有足够的书给每个人。pack意为“包装”;sell意为“卖”;choose意为“选择”;share意为“分享”。根据句意可知选D。
18.B 考查非谓语动词。句意:姚明,一位篮球巨星,年轻时常常打水球。used to do sth 意为“过去常常做某事”;be used to doing sth意为“习惯于做某事”。故选B。
19.D 考查形容词词义辨析。brave意为“勇敢的”;thirsty意为“口渴的”;full意为“饱的”;hungry意为“饥饿的”。句意:“我感到非常饿。我可以吃一块蛋糕吗?”“当然,你可以从冰箱里拿一块。”故选D。
20.C 考查动词的时态。句意:“有人在敲门。”“一定是修理工。两小时前我打电话叫他来修我们的冰箱。”根据句中时间状语“two hours ago”可知,打电话的动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故选C。
21.A 考查非谓语动词。句意:我以前睡得不是很好,但是后来我开始做瑜伽,这真的很有帮助。used to do sth意为“过去常常做某事”。由句意可知,前后两句是转折关系,且后句的瑜伽有助睡眠说明以前睡眠不好,故选A。 22.C 考查词语辨析。句意:我的堂弟太重了,因为他快餐吃得太多了。much too意为“太”,修饰形容词或副词;too many意为“太多”,修饰可数名词复数; too much意为“太多”,修饰不可数名词。第一空修饰形容词heavy;第二空修饰不可数名词food。故选C。

24.C 考查动词的时态。由时间状语“in the past few years”可知,应用现在完成时。故选C。
25.D 句意:“杰克,今天你穿着新衬衣看上去更帅了。”“哦,真的吗?我和我妈妈在一家便宜的商店买的。”第一空后面是问号,用really;第二空表示买衬衣是过去发生的动作,因此用一般过去时。故选D。 Ⅳ.26.such as; to take the underground 27.have just eaten/had; am not hungry 28.have learned/learnt/known; past and present 29.have changed; used to share
30.five minutes ago; have to wait for Ⅴ.31.C
