Ⅰ.1.选A 意为：“你认为去纽约过周末怎么样？”“听起来就有趣。”故选A项。 2．选B 考查动词的时态。句意：“如今的孩子们很难集中精力学习。”“确实，因为他们已经找到了许多有趣的事情去做。”根据语境可知，此处find这个动作从过去开始一直持续到现在，并有可能还会持续下去，所以应用现在完成时态。故答案选B。
3．选B 句意“你给她什么来交换她收藏的那幅画？”“我的新电脑。”in place of“代替”；in exchange for“用来交换”；on account of“由于”；in favour of“支持”。
4．选B 句意：这是我第一次吃到这种美味的月饼。在This/It is the first/second/其他序数词/last time ＋ that从句中，当主句使用is时，定语从句中则使用现在完成时；若主句使用was，定语从句中便使用过去完成时。
5．选A 句意：要是早几分钟的话，你就会见到那位NBA的明星。可惜，你那时没来。此题的前半部分为隐含的虚拟条件，描述的是与过去事实相反的情况，因此后面的陈述句应使用一般过去时。
6．选A 句意：我是Cirque du Soleil迷，并且我很幸运地看了他们的许多精彩的演出。根据句意选择A项。fortunate“幸运的”；attractive“吸引人的”；cautious“小心谨慎的”；generous“慷慨的”。
7．选B 句意：“自从我上一次见到你已经很长时间了。”“是的，恐怕再过好长时间我们才能再见面。”第一空考查it is ＋ 一段时间 ＋ since ...表示“自从……已经多久了”；第二空考查it will be ＋ 一段时间＋ before ...表示“再过多久才……”。
8．选C 根据句中出现的时间状语for nearly 30 years 可知，要用完成时。又因失去联系这一动作延续到他们这次见面之前，所以用过去完成时。由于lose contact不能延续，故C项正确。
9．选C 句意：珍妮照常努力学习而且也有了回报。她又一次在期末考试中获得第一名。pay off“回报”，符合题意。show off“炫耀”；pay back“偿还”；turn up“出现”。
10．选D 句意：最令我惊奇的是她对她父亲说话的方式。第一空引导主语从句且在从句中作主语，应选what；第二空the way后的定语从句中可用(that/in which)作引导词。
Ⅱ.(一)
语篇解读：本文作者从外语老师的角度分析了导致外语教学几乎彻底失败的原因。 1．选B 由下文知，除了(in addition to)已经发现的失误外，还有其他的失误。 2．选A 由1空后的faults可知，2空应填与它意义相近的词，故应填error(错误，失误)。
3．选C 由3空后的句子知，学生们分不清主语、宾语，故上句话应该谈论的是英语语法(grammar)。
4．选A 另一个很重要的失误是学生的能力大小差异不齐，教学时能力差异太大(wide)，有能力的学生被耽误(hold back)了，感到乏味，而能力差的学生同样(equally)感到枯燥，不愿去学。
5．选C 解析见4题。 6．选C 解析见4题。
7．选D 只要学生们不去正常(regular)上课，很快就会忘记所学的内容。
8．选B 为什么学生们会很快忘记所学的内容，因为(because)他们不需要它，也不去练习。
9．选D 很多美国学校将西班牙语从课程表中去掉了。withdraw ... from ... “(使)退出(活动、组织等)”。
10．选A 英国该停止在几乎没有学生需要或想要学的课程上浪费(waste)资源了。 (二)
语篇解读：作者去另外一座城市参加志愿服务，苦于交通不便，于是发帖求助。有人回复，愿意帮助作者。这位新朋友不但把作者送到了火车站，而且还陪伴作者等火车，并与作者分享了他童年的经历。
1．选C 作者自己没有汽车，甚至最近的(closest)火车站离作者的房子也很远。 2．选B 因此(Therefore)，作者不知道自己该怎样到那里。 3．选D 作者发帖子请求(request)一起分享搭乘。
4．选A 作者从未见过的一个人答复(replied)说他能够让作者搭乘并将作者送到火车站。
5．选D 他说他会等到作者的火车到达之后才开车离开。before“在……以前”，符合语境。
6．选B 当时作者的心暖暖的。warm为不及物动词，意为“变暖”，符合语境。
7．选A 作者一直以来的压力感马上消失了。immediately“立即，马上”，符合语境。 8．选C 作者最后及时赶到了那家养老院。in time“及时”，符合语境。in order“妥当，井然有序”；in return“作为回报”；in turn“依次，轮流”。
9．选A 那儿的小服务团队对这种额外的帮助非常感激。grateful“感激的”，符合语境。
10．选B 能够成为这个团队的一员并且帮助老年人，作者感到很高兴。be of service to sb.“对某人有帮助”，是固定短语。
11．选D 那天晚上，作者新结交的朋友(friend)把作者送到了车站。7空后的“friendship”是线索提示。
12．选C 作者的新朋友注意到车站处于荒凉的地区。notice“注意到”，符合语境。 13．选A 此处指的是他们两个人一起等火车(train)。5空前的“my train”是线索提示。 14．选D 作者不敢相信他的好意。kindness“好意”，符合语境。另外，19空后面的kindness是线索提示。
15．选B 他与作者分享(shared)了他童年的故事。
16．选A 他小时候常常坐在火车轨边沿，兴奋地(excitedly)等着火车全力驶过。used to do sth.“过去经常做某事”，符合语境。
17．选C 参见上题解析。
18．选D 那天晚上，他和作者一起等着作者的火车靠近(approached)。
19．选C 火车并没有全力驶来，但是作者离开车站时，感受(feeling)到了他善意与慷慨的全部力量。
20．选B 像他那样的人总是会提醒(remind)作者怎样去爱，怎样去给予。
