一、根据汉语意思写单词。
1. Rose is as tall as her twin sister. They are both about 1.6 (米) tall.
2. He was quite angry with the driver, although it was an (意外).
3. The dish tastes as good as I (预料) before. I think you will enjoy it too.
4. Green mountains and clear waters are as good as mountains of gold and (银).
5. Elaine plays the piano well. Her music always (触动) people's hearts.

1. metres/meters 2. accident 3. expected 4. silver 5. touches

1. 表示“米”的英文单词是metre/meter，前面数词1.6大于1，需使用复数形式metres/meters。
2. 表示“意外”且以元音音素开头、可搭配不定冠词an的名词是accident。
3. 表示“预料”的动词是expect，句中时间状语before说明动作发生在过去，需使用一般过去时expected。
4. 表示“银”的名词是silver，和并列的gold属性一致，为不可数名词，直接填原形即可。
5. 表示“触动”的动词是touch，主语Her music是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，谓语动词要变为第三人称单数形式touches。

二、用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。
6. The neighbours always (lend) me a hand when I lived in the community five years ago.
7. All of us expect (get) good grades in the coming exam.
8. There are many (different) between the two theatres.
9. Bob thinks the music in the movie is (pleasure), but I don't agree with him.
10. The twins are so much (like) that it is very difficult to distinguish（区分）one from the other.

6. lent
7. to get
8. differences
9. pleasant
10. alike

6. 句中出现时间状语"five years ago"，且从句动词lived为一般过去时，描述过去发生的动作，谓语动词lend需要变为一般过去式lent。
7. 考查固定搭配expect to do sth.，意为“期待做某事”，因此空处要填动词不定式结构to get。
8. 空前的many用于修饰可数名词复数，形容词different对应的名词形式是difference，复数形式为differences。
9. 空前is是系动词，后面需要接形容词作表语，名词pleasure对应的形容词pleasant意为“令人愉悦的”，符合句子语境。
10. 此处要表达双胞胎十分相像的含义，空处需要形容词作表语，动词/介词like对应的形容词alike意为“相像的”，符合句意。

三、选词填空。
what prince strong exchange opinion
care about important with spend
I read a short story in my English class last week. There was a kind young 11. who lived in a big castle, but he was always unhappy. One day, he heard about a poor but happy boy living in a small village. He decided to find out 12. made him happy. The prince walked a long way to reach the boy’s home. The boy was a pauper 13. a friendly and good heart. He shared his true 14. about being happy with the prince—money and rich life can’t bring real happiness; care and freedom（自由） are much more 15. . Later they often met and 16. time talking and playing together at weekends. They 17. nice small things and funny stories. The prince and the boy 18. each other and always helped each other when they were in trouble. As time went by, their sweet friendship became 19. and deeper. This story tells me true friendship has nothing to do with wealth or position, but comes from true hearts.

11. prince 12. what 13. with 14. opinion 15. important 16. spent 17. exchanged 18. cared about 19. stronger

本题考查八年级上册核心词汇与短语在语境中的运用，结合时态、固定搭配、句子结构逐一分析：
11. 空格处指代人，结合住在城堡的故事背景，对应选词prince（王子）。
12. 此处为宾语从句的引导词，从句缺少主语，表达“弄清楚是什么让他快乐”，用连接代词what。
13. 此处需要介词表达“带有、拥有”的含义，句意为“这个男孩是有着友善善良心灵的贫民”，选介词with。
14. 符合固定搭配share one's opinion about sth.，表示“分享某人关于某事的观点”，对应后文他阐述对快乐的理解的语境，选opinion。
15. 空格前有much more，构成形容词比较级结构，句意为“关爱和自由要重要得多”，选形容词important。
16. 符合固定搭配spend time doing sth.，表示“花费时间做某事”，全文叙述过去的故事，用一般过去时，填spend的过去式spent。
17. 句意为“他们交换美好的小见闻和有趣的故事”，故事为过去时态，填exchange的过去式exchanged。
18. 句意为“王子和男孩互相关心，遇到麻烦时总是互相帮助”，故事为过去时态，填care about的过去式cared about。
19. 此处和后面的deeper并列，用形容词比较级，表达友谊变得更牢固深厚，填strong的比较级stronger。
