6. Mary lost her bag school.

A.on her way to
B.on her way
C.in her way to
D.in her way

6. A

【分析】首先回忆英语中与"way"相关的固定搭配："on one's way to + 地点名词"表示"在某人去某地的路上"；"in one's way"意为"挡路、妨碍"，不符合本题语境。需结合句子结构和搭配含义分析选项。
【解析】逐一分析选项：A选项"on her way to"符合固定搭配规则，后接地点名词school时需保留介词to，表达"在她去学校的路上"，符合句意；B选项"on her way"后缺少介词to，因school是名词，不能省略to，排除；C选项"in her way to"搭配错误，"in one's way"无"前往某地"的含义，排除；D选项"in her way"意为"挡她的路"，与句意不符，排除。
【答案】A

.

A.tall
B.thick
C.long
D.wide

7. D

【分析】首先明确句子含义为“这条路大约两米______”，需选择能描述道路属性的形容词。解题时先分析各选项形容词的含义及适用场景：A.tall（高的）多用于描述人或物体的高度，不适合形容道路；B.thick（厚的）多用于描述物体的厚度，不用于道路；C.long（长的）虽可描述长度，但此处语境更贴合宽度；D.wide（宽的）专门用于描述道路等的宽度，符合句意。通过辨析排除错误选项，确定正确答案。
【解析】句子意为“这条路大约两米宽”。逐一分析选项：A.tall指“高的”，常修饰人或垂直高度的物体，与道路无关，排除；B.thick指“厚的”，多形容扁平物体的厚度，不适合描述道路，排除；C.long指“长的”，虽可描述长度，但本题语境侧重道路的宽度，排除；D.wide指“宽的”，用于描述道路等的横向宽度，符合句子语境，故选D。

8. He is in basketball, but I am in football.

A.interested; interesting
B.interested; interested
C.interesting; interested
D.interesting; interesting

8. B

【分析】首先需区分形容词interested和interesting的用法：interested意为“感兴趣的”，用于修饰人，常构成固定搭配be interested in（对……感兴趣）；interesting意为“有趣的”，用于修饰物。题目中两个空的主语分别是he和I，均为指代人的代词，因此两处都需用interested，对应选项B。
【解析】本题考查形容词的用法辨析。①interested的用法：主语为人，搭配固定结构“be interested in + 内容”，表示“对……感兴趣”；②interesting的用法：主语为物，描述事物的属性。题干中两个空格的主语都是指人的代词，因此两处都应使用interested，故答案为B。
【答案】B
【知识点】形容词辨析；固定搭配
【点评】本题考查英语基础易混形容词的用法，核心是掌握interested与interesting的修饰对象差异及固定搭配，属于常规考点，难度适中。

9. The boy is often made
pictures for hours by his mother.

A.to draw
B.to drawing
C.draw
D.drew

9. A

【分析】首先观察句子结构，由“by his mother”可知该句为被动语态，需结合使役动词make的用法解题。使役动词make在主动语态中接不带to的不定式作宾补，即“make sb do sth”，但变为被动语态时必须还原不定式符号to，结构为“be made to do sth”，据此可判断空缺处的正确形式。
【解析】本题考查使役动词的被动语态用法。使役动词（如make、let等）在主动语态中，后接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语，结构为“make sb do sth”；当转换为被动语态时，不定式符号to必须还原，构成“be made to do sth”的固定结构。题干为被动语态（is made...by），因此空格处需填带to的不定式，即to draw，对应选项A。
【答案】A
【知识点】使役动词的被动语态、不定式的用法
【点评】本题考查初中英语基础语法中使役动词的被动语态规则，属于常考的基础题型，核心是牢记使役动词主动变被动时不定式符号to的还原要求。

【分析】
首先明确对话语境：一方表示自己生活中没有任何压力，另一方需先回应对方的表述，再转折说明愿意倾听。解题时需逐一分析选项含义，结合语境匹配最恰当的表达。
【解析】
逐一分析选项：
A. so what? 意为“那又怎样？”，带有反问语气，不符合回应对方表述的语境；
B. if you say so. 意为“如果你这么说的话”，用于认同对方的说法，契合此处回应对方“无压力”表述的语境；
C. it’s up to you. 意为“取决于你”，与对话内容无关，排除；
D. tell me about it. 意为“我深有体会”，通常用于赞同对方的抱怨或经历，此处对方说的是无压力，不适用，排除。因此选B。

五、阅读理解。
Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray. “My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my phone because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I couldn’t move to use the phone for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ‘What’s he up to?’ I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my phone. He probably didn’t know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to talk with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor.”
The second story is from Colin. “Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild ‘Mum’ cockatoo(凤头鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept her as a pet in a big cage. She lost one of her wings, so she couldn’t return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mum’ cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn’t fly, ‘Dad’ cockatoo built a home in the tree. ‘Baby’ cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mum behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily.”
After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? Whether they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should respect every life in the world.
