A.sizes
B.colours
C.orders
D.shapes

5.D

【分析】这是一道英语名词词义辨析题，需结合对话语境解题。首先阅读答语，答语中用“像羊、像马、像龙”描述云的特征，这些都是对事物形状的比喻，因此要找到对应“形状”含义的名词，再逐一排除不符合语境的选项即可。
【解析】先分析对话逻辑：答语“Some are like sheep, some are like horses, and others are like dragons”是对云的外观特征的描述，核心是“像不同的事物”，对应形状。逐一分析选项：A.sizes（尺寸）、B.colours（颜色）、C.orders（顺序）均与答语描述的比喻义不符；D.shapes（形状）符合语境，故答案为D。
【答案】5.D
【知识点】名词词义辨析；情景交际
【点评】本题结合日常情景对话考查基础名词的词义辨析，需准确理解答语的比喻表达，难度较低，属于易得分题。

6. Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those grow up in the right family, while others believe that success mostly comes down to hard work.

A.who
B.whose
C.which
D.whom

6.A

【分析】要解决这道题，需先判断定语从句的先行词，再分析从句成分，最后辨析关系代词的用法。第一步，确定先行词：空格前的those指代“人”；第二步，分析定语从句成分：从句“______ grow up in the right family”缺少主语，关系词需在从句中作主语；第三步，对比选项，选择符合要求的关系词。
【解析】本题考查定语从句关系代词的用法：1. 先行词those指代人；2. 定语从句缺主语，需选指代人且作主语的关系词；3. 选项中，who指代人且可作主语，whose作定语，which指代物，whom指代人但作宾语，因此选A。
【答案】A
【知识点】定语从句（关系代词）
【点评】本题是定语从句关系词的基础考查题，需掌握不同关系代词的用法差异，明确先行词指人时关系词的选择规则。
【难度系数】0.8

7. The Great Wall runs many forests
northern China.

A.across; across
B.through; through
C.across; through
D.through; across

7.D

【分析】
这道题考查介词across与through的用法辨析，解题思路是：先明确两个介词的核心区别——across表示“从物体表面横过、横跨平面区域”，through表示“从物体内部空间穿过”；再结合句子语境分析每个空的用法：第一个空，长城穿过森林是从森林内部空间穿过，需用through；第二个空，长城延伸至中国北部是横跨平面区域，需用across，据此确定答案。
【解析】
1. 区分介词用法：across侧重“在物体表面横过、横跨平面范围”，through侧重“在物体内部空间穿过”。
2. 分析第一空：长城穿过森林，是从森林的内部空间穿过，因此用through。
3. 分析第二空：表示“横跨中国北部”，是在平面区域上的横跨，因此用across。
综上，两个空分别填through和across，对应选项D。
【答案】
D
【知识点】
介词辨析（across与through的用法）
【点评】
本题为基础介词辨析题，需准确掌握across和through的核心用法差异，结合具体语境判断介词选用，难度适中。

8. On the top of the hill an ancient tower 500 years ago.

A.lies; that was built
B.stands; which was built
C.stands; who is built
D.lies; whom is built

8.B

【分析】
本题考查全部倒装、定语从句及动词词义辨析。第一步，地点状语"On the top of the hill"置于句首，句子需用全部倒装，主语是"an ancient tower"，表示"矗立"的动词用stands，排除用lies的A、D选项；第二步，第二空是修饰先行词"an ancient tower"（指物）的定语从句，关系词需用which/that，不能用指人的who，且时间状语"500 years ago"提示用过去时态，排除C选项，最终确定答案。
【解析】
1. 全部倒装：当表示地点的介词短语置于句首且主语为名词时，句子用全部倒装，谓语动词根据主语确定。主语"an ancient tower"是单数，"矗立"用stands，lies表示"躺；抽象位置"不符合，排除A、D。
2. 定语从句：先行词"an ancient tower"是物，定语从句关系词用which/that，who指代人，排除C；时间状语"500 years ago"提示从句用一般过去时，故用was built，因此选B。
【答案】
B
【知识点】
全部倒装；定语从句；动词词义辨析
【点评】
本题结合倒装句和定语从句考查基础语法，需掌握全部倒装结构、定语从句关系词选择规则及动词词义区分，属于常见考点题。

9.D

【分析】首先明确解题思路：先理解题干语境为“当Nora遇到困难时，Suzy经常支持她”，再逐一分析四个选项的英语谚语含义，找到与语境匹配的谚语即可。
【解析】A选项“Every dog has its day”意为“人人皆有得意时”；B选项“It never rains but it pours”意为“不鸣则已，一鸣惊人；祸不单行”；C选项“Don't burn the candle at both ends”意为“不要过度消耗精力”；D选项“A friend in need is a friend indeed”意为“患难见真情”。题干强调困难时朋友的支持，与D选项含义匹配，因此选D。

Ⅴ. 阅读理解
New Year is a time for shopping.
But I think those of us who live in large cities in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping—especially in large centres—is a year-round activity.
Shopping centres are good. They show Asia's surprising economic growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned centre means comfort, choice, luxury(豪华) and better times.
Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre—it's where we shop, eat, meet our friends or just generally walk around.
Furthermore, we have come to regard shopping centres as important landmarks or tourist attractions. Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that the shopping centre is the most natural place to be.
My idea about shopping centres is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote(促进) shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about shopping centres is that they don't really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more—as everyone already knows.
Shopping centres, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yet own. We must want to surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?
The saddest thing is that the modern centre has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame(责怪) but ourselves. Instead of going shopping, we can visit a nearby waterfall, go to the beach, take a long walk and play a sport.
Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of building on it is yet another centre. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, museums, sports halls, parks—the list is endless. We might even consider leaving that land alone. This is something that the centre may have caused us to forget—in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume(消费).
1. What is the writer's attitude towards shopping centres?
A. He likes them very much.
B. He doesn't like them.
C. He likes them only a little.
D. He doesn't like all of them.
2. Why do more and more shopping centres appear in some Asian countries?
A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.
B. Because shopping centres have attracted tourists all over the world.
C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centres all year round.
D. Because shopping centres have become an important part in everyone's life.
3. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centres, according to the writer?
A. They seem to make us angry.
B. They lead us to buy more and more things.
C. They force us to give up many other activities.
D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.
4. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping centre in a big city.
B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping centre.
C. The government must be responsible for the writer's sadness.
D. Besides shopping, there're many other activities we can enjoy.
