一、词汇运用
1. — How long have they been (marry)?

2. Would you mind (show) me how to start this online tour?
3. Sandy is wondering where (ask) for help.
4. Most people now live in cities, they aren't used to (live) in the countryside.

1. married 2. showing 3. to ask 4. living 5. northern 6. pollution 7. have kept 8. to run 9. twentieth 10. politely

1. 考查现在完成时的延续性用法，“How long”询问时长需用延续性状态，marry的形容词形式married表已婚状态，故填married；2. 考查mind的固定用法，mind doing sth.（介意做某事），show的动名词是showing，故填showing；3. 考查“疑问词+不定式”结构，该结构在句中作宾语，此处用to ask，故填to ask；4. 考查be used to的用法，be used to doing sth.（习惯于做某事）中to为介词，后接动名词，live的动名词是living，故填living；5. 考查形容词修饰名词，需用north的形容词形式northern修饰part，故填northern；6. 考查名词作主语，句中缺主语，需用pollute的名词形式pollution，故填pollution；7. 考查现在完成时，“for+时间段”是现在完成时的标志，主语为I，故用have kept，填have kept；8. 考查manage的固定用法，manage to do sth.（设法做成某事），run的不定式是to run，故填to run；9. 考查序数词，表“第二十世纪”需用twenty的序数词twentieth，故填twentieth；10. 考查副词修饰动词，需用polite的副词形式politely修饰动词greeted，故填politely。

() 1. To keep healthy, you'd better eating fast food and keep exercising.

A.put up
B.get up
C.give up
D.wake up

C

句意：为了保持健康，你最好放弃吃快餐，坚持锻炼。A.put up意为“张贴”；B.get up意为“起床”；C.give up意为“放弃”；D.wake up意为“醒来”。结合语境，此处表示放弃吃快餐，故选C。

() 2. There was a big stone
my way my way home yesterday.

A.at; by
B.in; by
C.on; in
D.in; on

D

本题考查固定短语搭配。“in one's way”意为“挡某人的路”，“on one's way home”意为“在某人回家的路上”，结合句子结构，两个空分别对应in和on，故答案为D。

() 3. —May I be allowed to choose a summer course?
—It's up to you. You're to make your own decision.

A.too old
B.enough old
C.old enough
D.old too

C

enough修饰形容词时需后置，结构为“形容词+enough + to do sth.”，结合语境，此处表示“足够大”，符合该结构的是C选项。

（）4. —When will your parents go to China?
—They Beijing for three months.

A.went to
B.has gone to
C.has been to
D.have been in

D

主语they是复数，排除B、C（has用于单数）；for three months是一段时间，需用延续性动词短语，A项went to是短暂性动作，不符合；D项have been in表示“待在某地”，是延续性状态，符合语境。

()5. —Did your father use to to work?
—Yes, but now he wants to exercise more, he is used to a bicycle.

A.drive; riding
B.driving; riding
C.driving; ride
D.drive; ride

A

本题考查固定搭配。used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”，句中有助动词Did，故第一空用动词原形drive；be used to doing sth.表示“习惯于做某事”，此处to是介词，后接动名词，故第二空用riding。因此选A。

三、阅读理解
Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In western countries, people usually
celebrate the New Year's Day from the midnight of December 31st to January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal（正式的）clothes, and they may drink champagne（香槟）at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of（摆脱）bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh（重新）. Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other new year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck on New Year's Day. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
