【分析】
本题为英语词汇运用题，需结合句子语境、词性要求、固定搭配等确定单词的正确形式。解题思路：先分析每个句子的语法结构（如词性需求、固定搭配、时态等），再结合中文提示或所给单词，转换为正确形式填空。例如：第1题需形容词修饰名词hotel，对应“附近的”nearby；第5题用到固定搭配have trouble doing sth，故“发音”用动名词形式；第7题需名词，将动词speak转换为名词speech等。
【解析】
1. 空格处修饰名词hotel，需用形容词，“附近的”对应nearby；
2. 情态动词could后接动词原形，“重复”为repeat；
3. try to do sth结构中，to后接动词原形，“发明”对应invent；
4. 空格处作主语，表泛指“游客”，用复数名词Tourists（句首首字母大写）；
5. 固定搭配have trouble (in) doing sth，“发音”的动名词形式为pronouncing；
6. 固定短语be against表示“反对”，填against；
7. 不定冠词a后接名词，动词speak的名词形式为speech；
8. 定冠词the后接名词，动词spell的名词形式为spelling；
9. 空格处修饰动词write，需用副词，形容词correct的副词形式为correctly；
10. 固定搭配read aloud表示“大声读”，填aloud。
【答案】
1. nearby 2. repeat 3. invent 4. Tourists 5. pronouncing 6. against 7. speech 8. spelling 9. correctly 10. aloud

() 1. — , the lazy boy passed such a hard test!
— Good luck is going to run out some day. Remember hard work is everything.

A.In the end
B.To my surprise
C.For example
D.In fact

1.B

【分析】首先通读对话，理解上下文语境：第一句提及“懒惰的男孩通过了这么难的考试”，结合第二句“好运总有一天会耗尽，记住努力才是一切”的回应，可知说话人对懒男孩通过难考试这件事感到意外，需选择表达“惊讶”含义的短语。接着逐一分析选项含义，匹配语境需求。
【解析】逐一分析各选项：A选项“In the end”意为“最后，终于”，无法体现说话人的意外情绪，不符合语境；B选项“To my surprise”意为“令我惊讶的是”，契合对懒男孩通过难考试的意外态度，符合语境；C选项“For example”意为“例如”，用于举例说明，与语境无关；D选项“In fact”意为“事实上”，无法表达此处的情绪需求。因此正确答案为B。
【答案】B

【难度系数】0.8

() 2. — Mom, can I go out to play with my friends?
— No, you should read books for minutes.

A.another twenty
B.twenty another
C.more twenty
D.other twenty

2.A

【分析】本题考查英语中表示“额外的、另外的”数量的形容词搭配用法，需明确another、more、other在这类语境中的正确结构。解题思路：先回忆固定搭配规则：“another + 数词 + 名词复数”等价于“数词 + more + 名词复数”，表示“再……、额外的……”，而other无此类搭配结构，据此逐一排除错误选项。
【解析】逐一分析选项：A选项“another twenty”符合“another + 数词 + 名词”的正确结构，意为“另外二十分钟”，契合语境；B选项“twenty another”无此正确搭配，another应置于数词前，排除；C选项“more twenty”的正确结构应为“twenty more”，语序错误，排除；D选项“other twenty”无此类搭配，other一般不与数词组合表额外数量，排除。因此选A。
【答案】A
【知识点】形容词的用法；固定搭配
【点评】本题为基础英语语法题，考查表示“额外数量”的常用搭配，需牢记another与more的正确语序，难度较低。

() 3. — You are driving so fast. Safety should come first. — Sorry, I’ll drive .

A.more slowly
B.much slowly
C.more slowlier
D.most slowly

3.A

【分析】
本题考查副词比较级的用法。根据对话语境，前者指出对方开车太快，对方回应会“开得更慢”，是将当前驾驶速度与之前的速度作比较，需使用副词的比较级形式，接下来结合副词比较级的规则逐一分析选项。
【解析】
首先，确定语境要求：对话中是两者（当前速度与之前速度）的比较，需用副词比较级。slow的副词形式是slowly，其比较级为more slowly，最高级为most slowly。对选项逐一分析：
选项A：more slowly，是slowly的正确比较级，符合语境的比较要求，用法正确；
选项B：much slowly，much不能修饰副词原级，用法错误；
选项C：more slowlier，slow的比较级不存在slowlier这种错误变形，错误；
选项D：most slowly是最高级，用于三者及以上的比较，此处是两者比较，不符合语境。
因此正确答案为A。
【答案】
A
【知识点】
副词比较级；形容词副词的比较级
【点评】
本题结合日常对话场景，考查副词比较级的构成规则和语境应用，属于基础语法题，需准确区分副词原级、比较级、最高级的用法及变形。

【解析】句子意为：这些问题很难，但这个女孩回答得______。答语“How smart she is!”（她真聪明！）表明女孩回答得正确。A选项quietly意为“安静地”，不符合语境；B选项suddenly意为“突然”，与回答问题的状态无关；C选项correctly意为“正确地”，符合“聪明”的语境；D选项badly意为“糟糕地”，与答语矛盾。因此选C。
【答案】C

【解析】对话翻译：——历史总是重演！Lucy又在滑冰比赛中获得一等奖。——这毫不意外。熟能生巧。她日夜滑冰，（滑了）几千次。
选项分析：A项“The early bird catches the worm”意为“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”，侧重早行动的好处，不符合语境；B项“Practice makes perfect”意为“熟能生巧”，强调反复练习能达到熟练，符合Lucy因大量练习获奖的语境；C项“Every dog has its day”意为“人人都有得意时”，侧重机遇，不符合；D项“Many hands make light work”意为“众人拾柴火焰高”，侧重合作，不符合。因此选B。
