() 1. The English corner makes me in speaking English than before.

A.confident
B.the most confident
C.most confident
D.more confident

D

句中出现比较级标志词than，说明此处需使用形容词的比较级。confident是多音节形容词，它的比较级形式为more confident，同时符合make sb + 形容词的结构，因此选D。

() 2. Although he ran as fast as he could, he failed the early bus.

A.catching
B.caught
C.catches
D.to catch

D

本题考查八年级所学的固定搭配fail to do sth，该搭配意为“未能做某事”，此处表示没能赶上早班车，需填入动词不定式结构to catch。

() 3. —I have something interesting to tell you.
—

A.Sure.
B.Go ahead.
C.I hope not.
D.I don’t know.

B

本题考查情景交际用语辨析。A选项Sure意为“当然”，不符合该回应语境；B选项Go ahead此处表示同意对方开始做要做的事，意为“说吧，尽管讲”，契合对方要告知趣事的语境；C选项I hope not意为“我希望不是这样”，D选项I don't know意为“我不知道”，均不符合日常交际逻辑。

() 4. —I’m afraid he doesn’t know me.
—Don’t worry. I you to him when we meet.

A.introduce
B.introduced
C.will introduce
D.to introduce

C

根据句中的时间状语从句when we meet可知，介绍的动作还未发生，要使用一般将来时。选项A是一般现在时，选项B是一般过去时，选项D是动词不定式不能作句子谓语，只有C选项will introduce符合一般将来时的用法，符合语境。

() 5. Eating food is good for your . You can live .

A.health;healthy;healthily
B.healthy;health;healthily
C.healthy;healthily;health
D.healthy;healthy;healthily

B

第一空修饰名词food，需用形容词healthy；第二空位于形容词性物主代词your之后，需接名词health；第三空修饰动词live，需用副词healthily，符合这一用法的是选项B。

Ⅱ.根据句意,用括号中所给词的适当形式填空

1. Parents make rules to help children grow up .(health)
2. Taking part in speech contests makes her .(confident)

1. healthily
2. confident
3. paragraphs
4. meaning
5. organized
6. possible
7. ahead
8. failed

1. 此处需要副词修饰动词短语grow up，名词health的副词形式为healthily，意为“健康地”。
2. 本题考查固定结构make sb + 形容词，意为“使某人处于某种状态”，所给词confident本身是形容词，意为“自信的”，直接填写即可。
3. 空前有数词two修饰，可数名词paragraph需要变为复数形式paragraphs。
4. 固定搭配the meaning of... 表示“……的含义”，动词mean的名词形式是meaning。
5. 此处be动词后需要形容词作表语，动词organize的形容词形式organized意为“有条理的”，符合语境。
6. 根据句意“别担心，坐公交两小时到那里是可行的”，be动词后接形容词possible作表语即可。
7. 此处需要副词修饰动词plan，ahead可作副词，plan ahead是固定表达，意为“提前规划”，填ahead。
8. 主句时态为一般过去时，从句时态要保持一致，动词fail的过去式为failed。

Ⅲ.将下列句子中汉语部分译成英语,注意使用适当的形式
1. I do housework at the age of five. (能够)

3. I playing badminton and played it almost every day. (开始学)

1. was able to
2. physical health
3. started/began learning
4. kept on reading
5. has to do with
6. introduce myself
7. achieve/realize his dream

本题考查本单元核心短语的运用，需结合句子时态、固定搭配规则填写正确形式：
1. 由时间状语at the age of five（五岁时）可知句子为一般过去时，“能够”对应短语be able to，主语为I，be动词用was，因此填was able to。
2. 介词about后接名词性短语，“身体健康”的标准对应表达是physical health。
3. 由并列谓语played可知句子为一般过去时，“开始做某事”用start/begin doing sth结构，“学习”是learn，因此填started/began learning。
4. “坚持做某事”对应固定短语keep on doing sth，“读”是read，结合语境动作发生在过去，keep的过去式为kept，因此填kept on reading。
5. 本单元核心短语have to do with表示“和……有关系”，主语success是单数概念，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，因此填has to do with。
6. 固定结构let sb. do sth. 意为“让某人做某事”，空格处要使用动词原形，“介绍我自己”对应表达introduce myself。
7. 固定结构it is + 形容词 + to do sth. 中to后接动词原形，“实现他的梦想”的常用表达为achieve his dream/realize his dream。
