一、词汇运用
(A)根据句意及汉语提示写出单词
1. It was a painful experience, so she didn't want to （提到）it.
2. The company explained that it had been a （艰难的）year.
3. The new （铁路）connecting Chengdu with Jiuzhaigou makes it convenient for tourists to travel there.
(B)用所给单词的适当形式填空
4. The （manage）attended the meeting and gave an important report.
5. With no rules, there will be no （standard）, so it's best for us to follow the rules.

1. mention
2. tough
3. railway
4. manager 句意:经理出席了会议并做了重要报告。分析句子结构可知,此处应用名词作主语;根据“attended the meeting and gave an important report”可知,此处指人,应用 manage 的名词形式 manager。
5. standards 句意:没有规则,就没有标准,所以我们最好遵守规则。这里是 there be 句型,空处需要填入名词作主语;“With no rules”暗示“没有各类统一的标准、准则”,强调多个标准的概念,而非单一标准,应使用可数名词 standard 的复数形式 standards。

二、用方框中所给单词或短语的适当形式填空(每词或短语限用一次)
impress suit passenger at all times imagine
1. Kangkang is very helpful. He is ready to help others .
2. She has a good and she can write great stories.
3. —I’m uncertain about which shirt to choose. Can you help me?
—Sure. How about the blue one? It you well.
4. His speech was successful and all the listeners deeply with its wisdom.
5. Before the plane takes off, the air hostesses will make sure every seat belt is fastened for their security.

1. at all times 根据“He is ready to help others”可知,康康应是随时准备帮助别人。
2. imagination 句意:她有很好的想象力,能写出很棒的故事。根据空前的形容词“good”可知,空处应填名词。动词 imagine“想象”的名词形式是 imagination,且“a”后加可数名词单数。故填 imagination。
3. suits 空处在句中作谓语,句子时态为一般现在时,且主语是“It”,故填 suits。
4. impressed 句意:他的演讲很成功,其中的智慧给所有听众留下了深刻印象。分析句子结构可知,此处应填动词;根据“was”可知,此处时态为一般过去时。故填 impressed。
5. passenger's 空后为名词“seat belt”,故应用名词的所有格形式,又因空前有“every”,故填 passenger's。
