()1.We had to cut our trip because it kept snowing heavily.

A.down
B.in
C.out
D.short

D

“cut down”表示“砍倒；削减”；“cut in”表示“插嘴；插入”；“cut out”表示“删除；停止”；“cut short”表示“缩短；中断”。根据句意“因为雪下得很大，我们不得不缩短旅行”，“cut short”符合语境。

()2.Changjiang Village is the of the people in Wuxi. We're of it.

A.pride; proud
B.proud; pride
C.proud; proud
D.pride; pride

A

第一个空前面有定冠词the修饰，及物动词is后接名词作表语，应使用名词形式pride，表示“骄傲的事/人”；第二个空在系动词are后面，应使用形容词形式proud，be proud of是固定短语，意为“以……为傲”。因此正确答案为A选项。

()3.Marie Curie X - ray machines, didn't she?

A.found
B.discovered
C.found out
D.invented

D

本题考查词义辨析。题干意思是“居里夫人_______X光机，不是吗？”。
选项A“found”为“找到，发现（强调结果）”，B“discovered”为“发现（发现已存在的事物）”，C“found out”为“查明（经过调查，研究后发现）”，D“invented”为“发明（创造出以前没有的新事物）”。X光机为人类创造出的新事物，所以选项D正确。

()4.The truck went out of and hit a tree by the road.

A.danger
B.breath
C.control
D.use

C

本题考查固定短语的含义。根据题中“hit a tree by the road（撞到了路边的树上）”可推测，卡车是失去了控制。“out of control”为固定短语，意为“失去控制”，符合题意。而“out of danger”意为“脱离危险”；“out of breath”意为“上气不接下气”；“out of use”意为“不再使用”，均与题意不符。

()5.—Yuan Longping's to our country is amazing.
—I agree. He and his team even start to plant saltwater rice.

A.celebration
B.conversation
C.contribution
D.collection

C

题干中提到“Yuan Longping's _____ to our country is amazing”，意思是“袁隆平对我国……是惊人的”，需要选择一个与“to our country”搭配且符合语境的名词。A选项“celebration”意为“庆祝”；B选项“conversation”意为“对话”；C选项“contribution”意为“贡献”，“contribution to”表示“对……做出贡献”，符合语境；D选项“collection”意为“收集”。根据题意，袁隆平对我国做出了惊人的贡献，所以C选项正确。

()6.With the of society, our environment is getting worse. So we should do what we can it.

A.management; protect
B.management; to protect
C.development; protect
D.development; to protect

D

本题考查名词及目的状语。题意表示随着社会_______我们的环境更糟糕了，第一个空选项management表示管理，development表示发展，根据题意应该是社会的发展导致环境问题，因此选择development，排除A、B选项。第二个空考查动词不定式作目的状语，表示我们应该做我们能做的事情的目的是保护环境，因此选择to protect，排除C选项。综上所述，答案选D。

三、动词填空
1. Fresh food (go) bad easily in summer.
2. The price of houses (fall) a lot in the past few months.
3. Columbus was the first man (discover) America.
4. The award that she (receive) was the Nobel Prize for Peace.

8. A person always (check) his watch could be bored, impatient, or in a hurry.
9. Unless you practice more, you (not succeed) in winning the game.

1. goes 2. has fallen 3. to discover 4. received 5. is parking 6. to test 7. were driving 8. checks 9. won't succeed 10. are needed

1. 主语“Fresh food”是不可数名词，句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式goes。
2. “in the past few months”是现在完成时的标志，主语“The price”是单数，助动词用has，fall的过去分词是fallen，所以填has fallen。
3. “the first man to do sth.”是固定结构，意为“第一个做某事的人”，所以填to discover。
4. 定语从句中，“receive”的动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，receive的过去式是received。
5. 根据语境，“停车”的动作正在进行，用现在进行时，主语He是第三人称单数，be动词用is，park的现在分词是parking，所以填is parking。
6. 此处用动词不定式作目的状语，所以填to test。
7. “昨天车失控”是过去发生的事，“开得太快”是过去正在进行的动作，用过去进行时，主语you，be动词用were，drive的现在分词是driving，所以填were driving。
8. 主语“A person”是单数，句子描述一般情况，用一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式checks。
9. “Unless”引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时的否定形式won't succeed。
10. 主语“skills”与“need”是被动关系，句子描述客观情况，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用are，所以填are needed。
