一、词汇运用
1. It's (pleasure) to take a walk along the river after dinner, especially when the sun is setting.
2. Although it was (tire) to ride around West Lake, all of us had great fun.
3. On (两者之一) side of the road, there are different kinds of shops.
4. —What do you think of your own English (水平)?
—It needs improving.
5. Good (服务) and delicious food are the main reasons why people keep coming back to this restaurant.
6. China has about a (四分之一) of the world's population.

1. pleasant
2. tiring
3. either
4. level
5. service
6. quarter

()1.I find simple to learn to drive a car.

A.its
B.it
C.he
D.him

B

本题考查it作形式宾语的用法。在“find + it + 形容词 + to do sth”结构中，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式短语“to learn to drive a car”。A选项“its”是物主代词，不符合此结构；C选项“he”是主格形式，D选项“him”是宾格形式，均不能作形式宾语。所以应选B选项“it”。

()2.Try to be the master of your life. Life is a horse and either you ride or rides you.

A.it; it
B.one; it
C.one; one
D.it; one

A

此题考查代词的用法。根据“Life is a horse”可知，此处用it指代上文提到的同一个事物“life所指的life（生活）这匹马”；第二个空表达“要不然它（生活）就会骑在你上面”，还是指上文提到的同一个事物，仍用it。one指代同类不同个。所以此处都应填入it。

()3.—How nice your dictionary is! Where did you get ? I'd like to buy , too.
—In the shop in the city centre.

A.it; one
B.one; one
C.one; it
D.it; it

A

题干中第一个空格指代上文提到的原物dictionary，应用it；第二个空格指同类中的一个，应用one。因此选择A选项。

()4.Someone was knocking at the door, but I didn't ask who was.

A.he
B.she
C.it
D.that

C

本题考查代词的用法。在英语中，当我们不知道门外是谁时，通常用it来指代不确定身份的人，尤其是在这种不知道敲门者是谁的情况下，习惯用it来指代。这里who it was是宾语从句，用陈述语序，it指代敲门的人。而he、she、that都不符合这种不确定身份时的表达习惯。

()5.It's kind you to help us find a suitable hotel .

A.of; to stay
B.of; to stay in
C.for; to live
D.for; to live in

B

本题考查固定句型和动词短语。在句型“It's +adj.+of/for sb.+to do sth.”中，若形容词是描述不定式逻辑主语的性格、品质等，用of；若形容词是描述事情的特性，用for。“kind”是描述人的品质，所以用of。“住旅馆”用“stay in a hotel”，动词不定式“to stay in”作后置定语修饰“hotel”。因此，正确答案是B。

()6.—When shall I call, in the morning or afternoon?
—. I'll be in all day.

A.Neither
B.Either
C.None
D.All

B

问句询问“早上还是下午打电话”，提供两个时间选项。答句“I'll be in all day.”表明全天都在，所以两个时间中的任意一个都可以。“Either”表示“两者中的任何一个”，符合语境。Neither表示“两者都不”，None表示“三者及以上都不”，All表示“三者及以上都”，均不符合。

()7.—What a hot day!
—. In summer the temperature here reaches 40℃.

A.So is it
B.So it is
C.Neither is it
D.Neither it is

B

根据题干，第一个人说“多热的一天啊”，第二个人回应后提到“夏天这里的温度达到40℃”，由此可知第二个人同意第一个人的观点。“So + 主语 + 助动词”表示“的确如此，确实这样”，是对上文情况的肯定和同意。“So it is”符合此用法，“it”指代上文提到的“hot day”的情况，“is”为系动词与前文“is”时态一致。而“A.So is it”表示“也一样”，通常是指前面所陈述的情况也适用于另一个人或物；“C.Neither is it”表示“也不这样”；“D.Neither it is”表达错误。所以此处应选B。

()8.It was not she took off her glasses I realized she was a famous film star.

A.when; that
B.when; then
C.until; then
D.until; that

D

本题考查强调句结构"It is/was not until...that..."，意为"直到……才……"。句意为"直到她摘下眼镜，我才意识到她是一位著名的电影明星"。第一空填until，第二空填that，构成强调句。A选项when不符合强调句结构；B、C选项then不能用于强调句。故正确答案为D。

()9.I dislike when others laugh at me in public or think poorly of me behind.

A.that
B.those
C.it
D.them

C

在英语中，当表示喜欢、不喜欢、满意、不满意等情感的时候，常先用“it”作形式宾语，而将真正的宾语放在后面。本句中“when others laugh at me in public or think poorly of me behind”是真正的宾语，前面应该用“it”作形式宾语。所以答案选C。

()10.Everyone knows is dangerous to play with fire, but is difficult is to prevent children playing with fire.

A.it; it
B.what; what
C.what; it
D.it; what

D

第一空考查it作形式主语，结构为“it is + adj. + to do sth.”，it指代后面的不定式“to play with fire”，故第一空填it；第二空考查what引导主语从句，“what is difficult”在句中作主语，what在从句中作主语，故第二空填what。

()11.Writing three quarters of my holiday, but I enjoyed myself.

A.took on
B.took away
C.took up
D.took off

C

本题考查take短语辨析，根据题意“写作占据我假期的四分之三的时间，但我很享受”取（时间等），take up有“占据（时间、空间等）”之意。A选项“take on”意为“呈现；承担”；B选项“take away”意为“拿走”；D选项“take off”意为“脱下；起飞”，均不符合题意。所以选 C。

()12.—Let's go to our favourite musician's concert in February!
—. I am planning for the trip there.

A.You read my mind
B.Don't mention it
C.That's not the case
D.You'd better not

A

题干第一句话意思是“我们二月去最喜欢的音乐家的音乐会吧”。根据回答“我正在为去那里的旅行做计划”可知，回答者对此表示赞同和兴奋。A项“You read my mind”意思是“你知我心”，表示赞同和惊喜；B项“Don't mention it”用于回应感谢，意为“不客气”；C项“That's not the case”意思是“情况不是这样的”，表示否定；D项“You'd better not”意思是“最好不要”，表示不赞同。根据句意，A项符合语境。

2. What I think is that more and more people (buy) electric cars instead in the future.
3. A lot of recyclable waste (collect) in our neighbourhood during the "Green Action" last month.

9. No one expected house prices (fall), but anyway that's exactly what happened.
10. People in many foreign countries have parties on Chinese New Year's Eve now. It (mean) a growing interest in Chinese culture around the world.

1. will become 2. will buy 3. was collected 4. were hanging 5. hung 6. is reported 7. took 8. has worked 9. to fall 10. means

1. 从句时间为“for the future”，用一般将来时，填will become。
2. “in the future”提示用一般将来时，填will buy。
3. “last month”为过去时间，“waste”与“collect”是被动关系，用一般过去时被动语态，填was collected。
4. “when I walked past”表过去时间点，主句动作正在进行，用过去进行时，填were hanging。
5. “hang”作定语修饰“dress”，表被动完成，用过去分词hung。
6. 固定句型“It is reported that...”，填is reported。
7. 建造长城是过去发生的事，用一般过去时，填took。
8. “over the past three years”是现在完成时标志，填has worked。
9. “expect”后接不定式，填to fall。
10. “now”提示用一般现在时，主语it为三单，填means。
