() 5.—It's silly ______ you ______ others' homework.
—Er, I'm sorry. I will do it myself.

A.of; copy
B.for; copy
C.of; to copy
D.for; to copy

C

在英语中，It's + adj. + of/for sb. to do sth. 是一个常用句型。当形容词是描述人的品质、性格等特征时，用of；当形容词是描述事物的性质时，用for。此句中silly是描述人的品质，所以用of。另外，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to copy others' homework。

() 6.—Is Jim at home by himself?
—No. There is another boy ______ with him.

A.playing
B.play
C.plays
D.to play

A

本题考查there be句型中后置定语的用法。there be句型中，若要表示某人正在做某事，常用“there be sb. doing sth.”结构，其中“doing sth.”是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰前面的名词，表示该动作正在进行。在本题中，“There is another boy ______ with him.”表示“还有另一个男孩和他在一起”，根据语境可知这个男孩正在和他一起玩，所以应该用现在分词playing作后置定语。

() 7.Today's News is on Golden TV ______ 7:00 p.m. ______ 7:30 p.m.
A.from; and
B.between; to
C.between; and
D.from; between

C

本题考查介词的使用。“from...to...”表示“从……到……”；“between...and...”表示“在……和……之间”。题目表达的是《今日新闻》在Golden TV的播出时间是从晚上7点到7点半，即“在7点和7点半之间”，所以应该用“between...and...”。选项A“from; and”搭配错误；选项B“between; to”搭配错误；选项D“from; between”搭配错误。

四、阅读填空
When it comes to opera, you might think of Beijing opera. But have you ever h 1 of Qinqiang opera?
Qinqiang opera is one of the o 2 forms of opera in China. It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the people in Shaanxi and Gansu. A 3 to historical records, the local opera dates back to the Qin Dynasty.
Hou Yan is the president of Qinqiang Theatre of the Ningxia Performing Arts Group. She started learning Qinqiang opera at 4. Training in the basic skills of Qinqiang opera is very challenging. In 1985, Hou studied at an art school where teachers were very s 4 with students. While training, each basic move would have to be held quite correctly for half an hour and a single mistake could mean she had to start all over again. Leg stretching(伸展), waist bending and somersaults(空翻) were just some of Hou's daily training. Her hard work f 5 paid off. Hou became a performer with a troupe(表演团) in Yinchuan at 16. But in 1993, the sweeping trend(趋势) of pop and Western music hit Qinqiang opera hard. The troupe was c 6 and Hou had no choice but to leave the opera stage.
In the past decades, however, China has made great efforts to develop its traditional culture. The local government has thought of many ways to e 7 people to pay more attention to our traditional culture. Luckily Hou had the chance to return to the stage in 2000 and put her heart into the opera form.
Now, Hou's team gives hundreds of performances every year. The performers are all energetic and l 8 . They usually work together in an active and cheerful way. And most of the team members are of her age. They get together just because they all have a common i 9 in Qinqiang opera. In 2021, they staged about 150 school performances.
"As we become more confident about our culture, more young people feel p 10 of our traditional culture and consider it as a fashionable trend," said Hou.
