5、打開了一扇門。 1．a(chǎn)　[句意：他擁有一個農(nóng)場，這個農(nóng)場看起來都快廢棄了。a 是不定冠詞，表示泛指一個……，修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生和家人住在樹林里，他擁有一個農(nóng)場。故填a。] 2．luckily　[句意：幸運的是，他還有一頭奶牛，每天都能產(chǎn)奶。luckily副詞，幸運的是。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生的農(nóng)場很破舊，都快要廢棄了。但是還有奶牛每天都產(chǎn)奶，能讓他維持生存，所以這是一件幸運的事。這里用副詞形式修飾整個句子。] 3．for　[句意：他去附近的鎮(zhèn)里賣牛奶，或用牛奶換其他的食物。本句話中exchange 的意思是交換，根據(jù)句意可知，Johnson先生用

6、牛奶換其他的食物。這里是用短語exchange...for...，故填介詞for。] 4．was left　[句意：他去附近的鎮(zhèn)里賣牛奶，或用牛奶換其他的食物，用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和黃油。leave離開；剩下，留下。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生一家靠農(nóng)場里的奶牛產(chǎn)奶生活。除去賣掉的和換其他食物的牛奶，剩下的他就用來制作奶酪和黃油。這里what was left是一個賓語從句，根據(jù)句意可知用被動語態(tài)。] 5．when　[句意：一天，奶牛正在吃草，這時突然開始下起大雨。when是并列連詞，意思是正在這時。這句話使用的句型是be doing sth when...，正在做某事這時……。]

7、6．fell　[句意：在慌忙逃跑的時候，奶牛摔下山死了。fall摔倒，掉下來，根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文使用的是一般過去時態(tài)，故這里填過去式fell。] 7．without　[句意：奶牛死了，Johnson先生不得不繼續(xù)生活。根據(jù)文意可知，奶牛在慌忙躲雨的時候，不小心摔死了，因此Johnson先生就不得不在沒有了奶牛情況下生活。故填without。] 8．to sell　[句意：因為這些藥草和蔬菜需要花費時間來生長，Johnson先生就開始砍樹來賣木頭。sell賣，銷售。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生一邊種植藥草和蔬菜，一邊砍樹去賣。這里用動詞不定式形式在句中作目的狀語。] 9．where

8、　[句意：豐收的時候，他已經(jīng)在人們定期趕集的市場上去賣藥草、蔬菜和棉花了。where 在這里引導(dǎo)的是一個定語從句，修飾先行詞the market。] 10．him　[句意：現(xiàn)在看來好像他的農(nóng)場是非常有潛能的，奶牛的死也似乎給他帶來了好運氣。It occurred to sb that...某人突然發(fā)現(xiàn)……，這是一個固定的句型，因為這篇短文講述的是Johnson先生，故填him。] Ⅰ.閱讀理解 A IBM and Local Motors introduced a new self-driving electric vehicle called “Olli” in National H

43、e! 　2　For a brand-new show,read whatever is already available in the media about the show’s intended themes,content,time slot,and audience.　3　 This is probably easier if you’ve watched it without fail since it began.

45、 your while. Know why you want to do this.The show’s producers will want a strong,well-founded response.　5　 Telling them “I want to be famous”rarely distinguishes you from every other person wanting the same.Be confident in what you believe you can contribute to the show while focusing on your hope

53、句中的“...a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets!”可知,iCPooch通過讓狗主人和狗視頻聊天,從而讓狗安靜下來。故選A項。 7.C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“These finalists...are working with mentors over the summer...”可知,這次青年科學(xué)家挑戰(zhàn)賽的決賽選手已經(jīng)和指導(dǎo)者一起工作了一個夏天,畫線詞應(yīng)表示“指導(dǎo)者”,故選C項。最后一段的with the guidance from a mentor也是提示。 8.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后

54、一段的第二句“Their projects include a fuel cell...and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or calling.”可知,這些決賽選手的發(fā)明可能幫助解決日常生活中的問題,故選B項。 Ⅱ.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文為說明文。文章向我們介紹了如何上電視真人秀節(jié)目。比如說,上節(jié)目之前要認(rèn)真考慮,了解你會被提問的問題及你的答案等。 1.C　本段討論的話題是你一旦上了電視真人秀節(jié)目,認(rèn)識你的人會議論你,因此在上節(jié)目前你要認(rèn)真考慮。故選C項?？蘸笠痪渲械膖his指代空處所在句的內(nèi)容。 2.B　本題是選擇段落主題句。由上
