一、根据汉语意思或音标写单词。
1. I don't think it's good to /kəmˈpeə(r)/ yourself with others too often.
2. They （表演）a traditional folk dance at the festival last year.
3. The boy was so clever that he （解决）that problem easily just now.
4. I can't hear you clearly. Would you please speak a little （响亮地）?
5. The two boys are both active and /ˌaʊtˈɡəʊɪŋ/ and they have lots of friends.

1. compare
2. performed
3. solved
4. louder
5. outgoing

1. 根据音标/kəmˈpeə(r)/以及固定搭配compare...with...（把……与……作比较），结合句型it's + 形容词 + to do sth.，此处需要填动词原形compare。
2. 根据汉语提示“表演”，句中时间状语last year（去年）表明句子时态为一般过去时，动词要使用过去式，填performed。
3. 根据汉语提示“解决”，句中时间状语just now（刚才）表明句子时态为一般过去时，动词要使用过去式，填solved。
4. 根据汉语提示“响亮地”，a little可修饰副词比较级，此处语境是请求对方说话声音更大一点，填louder。
5. 根据音标/ˌaʊtˈɡəʊɪŋ/，对应单词outgoing，意为“外向的”，和形容词active并列作表语。

二、用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。
6. Mary's handwriting is (good) than her sister's.
7. Peter is (hard-working) than other students in his class.
8. My sister's room always looks tidier than (I).
9. My sister is good at skating. She (win) the first prize in the competition last year.
10. When she came to this new school, she became much (shy) than before.

6. better
7. more hard-working
8. mine
9. won
10. shyer

6. 句中有比较级标志词than，表明是两者间的比较，要使用形容词good的比较级，good的比较级是不规则变化better。
7. 句中有比较级标志词than，hard-working是多音节形容词，它的比较级构成为在前面加more，即more hard-working。
8. 此处比较的是两个房间，空后没有名词，需要用名词性物主代词mine，指代my sister's room对应的比较对象my room。
9. 句中的时间状语last year表示动作发生在过去，句子要用一般过去时，动词win的过去式是won。
10. 句中有比较级标志词than，much可以用来修饰形容词比较级、加深比较的程度，shy的比较级形式为shyer。

三、阅读理解。
My sister and I are very different. We have different personalities, and our lifestyles are different.
Do you resemble your brother or sister? My sister and I don't resemble each other at all. I am tall, but she is very short. I have short dark brown hair and green eyes. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. I am strong, but she is not. I have big hands and feet while her feet and hands are very small.
When we were kids, she was thin, but I was heavy. Now we're both heavy. We also have opposite personalities. She is always stressed out. I am calmer and more outgoing. She is very worried about what other people think and say about her, but I really don't care. When she has a problem, she just worries about it, but when I have a problem, I try to solve it. She easily gets angry, especially with our mother, but I am more patient.
Our lifestyles are very different. I love old things and hardly ever go shopping. But she goes shopping twice or more a week. I have cats. She has a dog. I prefer reading while she prefers watching TV.

11.A 12.D 13.D 14.A

11. 词义猜测题：根据第二段内容，作者和妹妹完全不resemble，后文列举了二人大量外貌、身形的差异，可知resemble意为“相似、相像”。A选项划线短语is similar to意为“与……相似”，和resemble含义一致；B意为“期待”，C意为“害怕”，D意为“与……不同”，均不符合要求。
12. 细节理解题：根据第二段“I am tall, but she is very short”以及第三段“Now we're both heavy”可知，作者的妹妹现在个子矮、体重偏重，对应D选项。
13. 细节理解题：根据划线部分前一句“She is very worried about what other people think and say about her”，可知妹妹很在意他人的评价，转折后的“but I really don't care”意思是作者不在意其他人的看法，对应D选项。
14. 细节理解题：根据第三段“When we were kids, she was thin, but I was heavy”可知A选项表述正确；B选项错误，文中是妹妹容易生气，作者更耐心；C选项错误，作者是绿眼睛，妹妹是蓝眼睛；D选项错误，作者几乎从不购物。
