单选题 [A] hated [B] liked [C] disliked [D] tried

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 考查动词辨义与上下文理解。由空格所在处后面几句的意思可以看出，作者是喜欢上学的，因此选含肯定义的liked。[A]、[C]两项都含否定义，与文意逻辑不符；[D]后不能跟动名词．只跟不定式，意思也不符合上下文。

单选题 [A] talking [B] working [C] meeting [D] studying

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 考查动词辨义。talk(说话)是不及物动词，不能直接跟宾语；work(工作)也是不及物动词，它与people连用意思上也不通；study(学习，研究)虽然可作及物动词，但其宾语一般为事物。只有meet(会见)为及物动词，可与people连用，指“认识/碰到许多人”，符合上下文文意。

单选题 [A] like [B] as [C] for [D] about

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 考查介词搭配。like作介词时，指“像”；as作介词时指“作为”；for作介词时指“对于”；about作介词时指“关于”。它们虽然都可与动词think搭配，但由于句意指把上学当作一种挑战，故选as。

单选题 [A] happy [B] disappointed [C] unpleasant [D] interesting

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。由句中的instead of(而不是)可知，填入的形容词的含义应当与积极的challenge相对，故含褒义的[A]、[D]两项都不对。而disappointed指“失望的”，用于修饰人，本题修饰的是事物(school work)，故只能选unpleasant(令人不愉快的)。

单选题 [A] of [B] in [C] on [D] at

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 考查介词用法。由上下文可以看出，the value(价值)应当是a good education(良好的教育)的一种特征，故选能表达它们之间这种所属关系的介词of。其他三项都不能表达所属关系。

单选题 [A] sometimes [B] seldom [C] never [D] always

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 考查副词辨义与上下文理解。sometimes有时；seldom很少；never从不；always一直。由上下文文意可以看出，这里表达的应当是正面、肯定的意思，故选不含否定义的always。

单选题 [A] what [B] that [C] which [D] those

单选题 [A] learning [B] going [C] beginning [D] enjoying

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 考查动词辨义与用法。learn作及物动词时指“学习”，它用school(学校)作宾语肯定不行；go为不及物动词，其后应跟介词后才能再跟宾语；enjoy指“欣赏”，也不能用school作宾语。只有begin(开始)可用school作宾语，且下一句中又重现了begins一词，因此是正确答案。

单选题 [A] bed [B] walking chair [C] baby-car [D] cradle

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 考查名词辨义与上下文理解。bed床；walking chair学步椅，学步车；baby-car婴儿车；cradle摇篮。由于主语是a baby，而前文中又提到了cradle一词，将学校比作教育的摇篮，所以此处也选cradle。

单选题 [A] where [B] which [C] that [D] when

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 考查从句连接词。由句子结构分析，由于先行词是education，而从句在主句中又并不是状语，因此它是一个非限制性定语从句，又因education是事物，所以连接词用which。

单选题 [A] as long as [B] as soon as [C] as good as [D] as many as

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 考查搭配辨义。as long as长/久到…，只要；as soon as 一…就…；as good as如…一样好；as many as多到如…。由于空格后是表示一种条件(他活着)的一个从句，因此只能选[A]。

单选题 [A] and [B] so [C] but [D] because

单选题 [A] be ready to [B] get ready [C] prepare for [D] prepare

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 考查搭配。四个选项都含“准备”义，但be ready to中的to为不定式符号，后面应当跟动词；get ready是个不及物动词短语，其后应当跟介词或者to才能再跟宾语；prepare是个不及物动词，其后也跟不定式或者应跟for后才能再跟宾语。因此本题无疑应选[C]。

单选题 [A] hardly [B] hardy [C] hardily [D] hard

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 考查副词与搭配。study hard是个常见短语，其中hard本身就是副词。hardly指“几乎不”；hardy是形容词，指“能吃苦耐劳的”；hardily由形容词hardy变化而来，指“强壮地，能吃苦耐劳地”。它们在语法和词义上都不合本题。

单选题 [A] on every day [B] every day [C] on everyday [D] everyday

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 考查形近词。[A]、[C]两种形式明显不对。考生易混淆的是every day，与everyday。前者是一个词组，用作副词，而后者是一个形容词，且只能用于名词前。本题需要填入的是一个副词，选[B]。

单选题 [A] and [B] or [C] with [D] as

单选题 [A] all [B] detail [C] fact [D] short

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 考查固定搭配与上下文理解。in all总计；in detail详细地，详尽地；in fact事实上；in short总之，简而言之。由句意来看，空格所在句是对前面一句进行修正或者补充，故选in fact。

单选题 [A] keep [B] continue [C] last [D] insist

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 考查动词用法。四个选项都含“继续”义。但用于此意时，keep后应跟动词，不及物动词last不能跟宾语，insist后只能跟从句或作不及物动词。只有continue能用studies(学习)作宾语。

单选题 [A] favorite [B] favoritest [C] most favorite [D] the most favorite

单选题 [A] on [B] to [C] of [D] for

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 考查搭配。名词respect指“尊敬”且后跟被尊敬的对象时，其后应用介词for引出这一对象。注意，to也可用在：respect后，但它多与动词pay连用，构成pay one's respect (s) to这一固定搭配，指“向(死者)告别，参加…的葬礼”。
