()1. Mark gets up early, so he is late for school.

A.sometimes; hardly ever
B.never; always
C.usually; always
D.seldom; never

B

本题考查频度副词词义辨析与因果逻辑匹配：
1. 先明确各选项副词含义：A. sometimes有时；hardly ever几乎从不 B. never从不；always总是 C. usually通常；always总是 D. seldom很少；never从不
2. 句中so表因果，前半句描述马克早起的频率，后半句描述上学迟到的频率，逻辑需自洽：A选项“有时早起”无法推出“几乎从不迟到”，逻辑不通；C选项“通常早起”和“总是迟到”矛盾；D选项“很少早起”和“从不迟到”矛盾；只有B选项“马克从不早起，所以他上学总是迟到”逻辑完全通顺。

()2. This is not volleyball. Ask Charles, maybe it's .

A.my; our
B.my; his
C.mine; his
D.mine; ours

B

本题考查形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词的用法：
1. 第一空后有名词volleyball，需用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，my是形容词性物主代词，mine是名词性物主代词，后面不能接名词，因此排除C、D选项。
2. 第二空后无名词，且前文提示要问男生Charles，需用名词性物主代词指代“他的排球”，his符合要求，our不符合指代逻辑，排除A选项。
最终确定正确选项为B。

()3. —Alex, you're really fit. do you go to the sports centre?
—Almost every day. You know, I like running.

A.How often
B.How long
C.How far
D.How much

A

先明确四个疑问词组的适用场景：How often用于询问动作发生的频率；How long用于询问时长或物体长度；How far用于询问距离；How much用于询问价格或不可数名词的量。本题答句"Almost every day"是描述动作发生的频率，对应要用How often提问。

()4. —I believe success must hard-working people in the end.
—I agree with you.

A.have to
B.turn off
C.belong to
D.used to

C

先明确各选项的含义：A. have to 意为“不得不”；B. turn off 意为“关闭（电器等）”；C. belong to 意为“属于”；D. used to 意为“过去常常”。代入句子语境“我相信成功最终一定______努力的人”，只有C项语义通顺，符合逻辑。

()5. We encourage the students a more important part in the running of the school.

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

B

本题考查固定搭配用法，"encourage sb. to do sth."是固定短语，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，此处需要用动词不定式结构，因此选择对应正确形式。

()6. computer is new, but is old.

A.We; they
B.Our; their
C.Our; theirs
D.Ours; their

C

1. 第一空后有名词computer，需要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，We是人称代词主格、Ours是名词性物主代词，不符合要求，排除A、D选项。
2. 第二空后没有名词，需要用名词性物主代词指代“他们的电脑”，their是形容词性物主代词，后面必须接名词，不符合要求，排除B选项。
3. 综上只有C选项两个空的用法都正确。

()7. —Sandy, could you fold the clothes for me?
—Why me? I am not available(有空的). You can ask David to do it .

A.but
B.too
C.also
D.instead

D

先理解对话语境：Sandy表示自己没空叠衣服，建议让David来做这件事。逐一辨析选项：A. but表转折，意为“但是”，不符合语义；B. too意为“也”，多用于肯定句句末且前面常加逗号，不符合用法和语义；C. also意为“也”，通常放在句中，不符合要求；D. instead意为“代替”，符合“让David代替做叠衣服的事”的语境。

二、阅读短文，完成下面的表格。（每空一词）
Sports play an important role in students' lives. They help them keep fit and teach them teamwork. Four students from different countries are talking about their favourite sports.
Li Yue, China
I do many sports, but my favourite is table tennis. I play table tennis in a club on weekends and I'm quite good at it. On Saturday, I teach some younger children to play table tennis, and that is fun.
Sophie, Britain
My favourite sport is rugby(橄榄球运动). I play for the U15s, the team for players under the age of 15. My team always plays a match on Saturday or on Sunday, and I usually go to practise it three times on weekdays. It is hard work, but it builds team spirit!
Ben, Canada
I love the snow and the mountains. In the holidays, I always go to the mountains with my family. I go snowboarding with my sister and other young people every day, and it helps me keep healthy. I want to be a famous snowboarder one day.
Laura, American
I started running when I was 13. I joined a club then and practised it every day except(除了) Friday. I have never won a race, but I'm making progress all the time. That is the most important thing for me. I've also made many friends.

【解析】：我们可以根据短文内容逐空定位答案：
1. 定位Sophie的相关介绍，原文明确说明她最喜欢的运动是橄榄球rugby，因此第一空填rugby。
2. 定位Sophie的相关介绍，原文提到她通常在工作日练习三次橄榄球，对应表述three times on weekdays，因此第二空填weekdays。
3. 介绍滑雪板运动的段落对应的人物是来自加拿大的Ben，因此第三空填Ben。
4. 定位Ben的相关介绍，原文说明单板滑雪帮助他保持健康，固定搭配keep healthy，因此第四空填healthy。
5. 定位Laura的相关介绍，原文提到她除了周五之外每天都练习跑步，一周共7天，去掉周五后一周练习6次，因此第五空填six。
【答案】：1. rugby
2. weekdays
3. Ben
4. healthy
5. six
