一、听力理解。
请听下面3段对话。每段对话后有一小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话读两遍。
()1. What's Bob's hobby?

答案略

()1. I have collected some with beautiful Chinese landscapes. I can stick them on envelopes(信封) when I send letters.

A.postcards
B.programs
C.stamps
D.coins

C

先梳理句子关键信息：该物品印有美丽的中国风景，寄信时可以贴在信封上。辨析四个选项词义：A.明信片，B.节目，C.邮票，D.硬币，只有邮票符合上述描述，因此选C。

()2. —The story of the astronauts really me to study harder.
—Me too. They are so determined and hard-working.

A.stops
B.surprises
C.fears
D.inspires

D

先辨析各选项含义与用法：A选项stops意为阻止，常用搭配为stop sb. (from) doing sth，不符合此处结构和语义；B选项surprises意为使惊讶，不符合对话语境；C选项fears意为使害怕，语义不通；D选项inspires意为激励，固定搭配inspire sb. to do sth. 表示“激励某人做某事”，符合“宇航员的故事激励我更努力学习”的语境，和后文提到的宇航员坚定勤奋的表述呼应。

()3. —What happened to Sarah just now? She is shaking.
—A big dog suddenly ran at her and made her .

A.calm
B.scared
C.glad
D.interested

B

先抓取题干关键提示：Sarah正在发抖，还有“一只大狗突然朝她冲过去”的语境。逐一分析选项：A“冷静的”不符合发抖的状态，C“高兴的”、D“感兴趣的”都和场景逻辑矛盾，只有B“害怕的”符合被大狗冲向之后吓得发抖的语境，因此选B。

三、短文填空。
请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。每个词限用一次。

本题考查语境理解、固定搭配及词汇的正确变形，结合所给词逐一分析如下：
1. 固定结构a great way to do sth. 表示“做某事的好方法”，结合前文提到做艺术是减压的方式，此处填动词原形relax，意为“放松”。
2. 固定结构allow sb. to do sth. 表示“允许某人做某事”，和后文try new things并列，此处填to explore，意为“探索”。
3. 此处作从句主语，指代“其他人”，用代词others，符合“在其他人可能无法发现美的地方找到乐趣”的语境。
4. 不定式符号to后接动词原形，此处表达“抒发你的情绪和想法”，填动词express。
5. 此处引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然创作艺术的过程是最重要的部分，但你的作品也很重要”，句首首字母大写，填连词Although。
6. 情态动词will后接动词原形，固定搭配bring sb. sth. 表示“给某人带来某物”，此处指给你带来成就感，填bring。
7. some后接可数名词复数，suggestion为可数名词，变形为suggestions，意为“建议”，符合“这里有一些入门建议”的语境。
8. 不定冠词a后接可数名词单数，此处指准备一张小桌子放置画笔和水彩，填名词table。
9. 不定冠词a后接可数名词单数，此处表示“如果有需要，指导者可以提供帮助”，填名词instructor。
10. 此处需要副词修饰形容词relaxed，surprise的副词形式surprisingly意为“出乎意料地”，符合语境。
