【解析】1. 句中提到街道拥挤，对应“早高峰时段”，故填rush hour；2. 句中“rushed”为过去式，宾语是car，需用“停车”的过去式，故填parked；3. 句中“had”为过去式，结合“小角色但表现惊人”，对应“抢风头”的过去式，故填stole the show；4. 此处修饰名词roles，需用形容词，“配角”对应supporting roles，故填supporting；5. 句中提到“great performances”，对应“演员”，故填actor；6. 句中描述人的外貌，结合“有才华”，故填handsome。

1. it might seem simple, expressing yourself on paper can really help clear your mind.

A.Though
B.But
C.Because
D.Since

1. A

【分析】首先分析句子前后的逻辑关系：前半句“it might seem simple（它可能看起来简单）”和后半句“expressing yourself on paper can really help clear your mind（在纸上表达自己真的能帮助理清思路）”是让步关系，即“虽然看起来简单，但实际有帮助”。接着逐一分析选项：A选项Though是让步连词，可引导让步状语从句；B选项But是并列连词，不能引导从句，不符合空格后接从句的结构；C选项Because表原因，D选项Since表原因或时间，均不符合让步逻辑。因此需选引导让步状语从句的连词。
【解析】句子前后为让步逻辑，需选引导让步状语从句的连词。A.Though（虽然）引导让步状语从句，符合要求；B.But为并列连词，无法引导从句，排除；C.Because（因为）、D.Since（既然/自从）均表原因或时间，不符合逻辑关系，排除。故答案为A。
【答案】A
【知识点】让步状语从句、连词辨析
【点评】本题考查连词的逻辑用法，解题关键是先明确句子前后的让步关系，再结合各连词的功能排除错误选项，属于基础题型，难度较低。

2. most people get news online, printed newspapers won't disappear soon.

A.Because
B.Since
C.Though
D.Unless

2. C

【分析】本题考查连词的词义辨析与句子逻辑关系判断。首先明确句子前后分句的逻辑：前一分句“大多数人在线获取新闻”与后一分句“印刷报纸不会很快消失”是让步转折关系，即“虽然多数人在线看新闻，但印刷报纸不会很快消失”。接下来逐一分析选项连词的含义，排除不符合逻辑的选项，选出正确答案。
【解析】句子前后为让步转折关系：A选项Because表直接原因，引导原因状语从句，不符合逻辑；B选项Since可表“既然”（引导原因）或“自从”（引导时间），均不符合让步逻辑；C选项Though意为“虽然”，引导让步状语从句，符合句子逻辑；D选项Unless意为“除非”，引导条件状语从句，不符合逻辑。因此选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】让步状语从句、连词词义辨析
【点评】本题为基础英语连词题，需准确把握句子逻辑关系，区分不同连词的用法，属于常见考点，难度适中。

3. [2026 常州期末]The dance was popular that many people posted their short videos on the internet.

A.so; so
B.such; so
C.such; such
D.so; such

3. A

【分析】
这道题考查so和such的用法区别，解题思路为：1. 明确so与such的核心用法：so修饰形容词/副词，结构为so+adj/adv+that引导的结果状语从句；such修饰名词，结构为such+(a/an)+adj+名词+that从句，且名词前有many/much/few/little（表数量）时，需用so而非such。2. 分析第一个空：后接形容词popular，符合so的用法，填so。3. 分析第二个空：后接表数量的many，需用so，因此两处均填so，对应选项A。
【解析】
首先区分so与such的用法：①so为副词，修饰形容词或副词，常用结构“so + adj./adv. + that从句”，表“如此……以至于……”；②such为形容词，修饰名词，常用结构“such + (a/an) + adj. + 名词 + that从句”，但当名词前有表数量的many、much、few、little修饰时，需用so（即so many/much/few/little + 名词）。本题中，第一个空后是形容词popular，符合so的用法，填so；第二个空后是表数量的many，需用so，因此两处都填so，对应选项A。
【答案】
A
【知识点】
so和such的用法；结果状语从句
【点评】
本题考查英语基础语法中so与such的核心用法，重点掌握so修饰形容词/副词、与数量形容词搭配的特殊规则，属于常规基础题，需牢记固定结构。

4. [2026泰州期末]— Did you listen to Lily's speech last night? She made great progress that I couldn't believe it.
— Yes! She practised for months, so her speech was perfect.

A.such; as soon as
B.so; as well as
C.such; as good as
D.so; as long as

4. C

【分析】
这道题考查such/so的用法及固定短语辨析。解题思路分两步：第一步，根据名词类型判断第一空用such还是so；第二步，结合语境辨析第二空的短语含义，排除不符合的选项，最终确定答案。
【解析】
1. 分析第一空：such修饰名词，结构为“such + adj + 可数名词复数/不可数名词”；so修饰形容词/副词，结构为“so + adj/adv”。句中progress是不可数名词，故用such，排除B、D选项。
2. 分析第二空：结合语境“她的演讲几乎完美”，需辨析短语：as soon as（一……就）、as well as（也；和……一样好，修饰动词）、as good as（几乎；和……一样好，修饰名词/形容词）、as long as（只要），只有as good as符合语境，故第二空用as good as。综上，答案为C。
【答案】
C
【知识点】
such与so的用法；固定短语辨析
【点评】
本题考查初中英语基础考点，需掌握such/so的固定结构及常用短语含义，难度适中，是常见的语法辨析题。

【分析】本题考查动词短语的辨析，解题思路为：先理解对话的语境，明确空格处需要表达“把……误认为……”的含义，再逐一分析选项中短语的意思，结合语境匹配正确的固定搭配。
【解析】对话语境为：“我把你的沉默错认为不同意，但后来意识到你只是累了”。逐一分析选项：A选项mistake...for...是固定搭配，意为“把……错认为……”，符合语境；B选项treat...as...意为“把……当作……”，不符合“误认”的语义；C选项confuse...with...意为“把……和……混淆”，强调混淆两者的区别，而非误认，不符合；D选项teach...as...意为“把……教成……”，与语境无关。因此选A。
【答案】A
【知识点】动词短语辨析；固定搭配
【点评】本题考查英语中常见动词短语的固定搭配，属于基础考点，难度较低，学生掌握短语含义并结合语境即可作答。

If you lose hope for the future, watch the movie The Shawshank Redemption (《肖申克的救赎》). It received seven Oscar nominations, 1. i the Best Picture and the Actor in a Leading Role.
Andy Dufresne, the main character, was charged with killing his wife and her lover, and was sent to a prison 2. c Shawshank. Because he insisted that he was not guilty, he tried and 3. s ran away from prison 20 years later. Hope and freedom are of great importance throughout the movie.

Among all the scenes, the saddest one for me is about old Brooks, a senior prisoner, who had been in Shawshank for 6. o forty-five years. When he was set 7. f, he found the world outside was his true prison. “These walls are funny. First you hate them, then you get 8. u to them. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them.” That was 9. w he ended his life hopelessly.
