A.adopt B.adjust
C.addict D.access

djust to“適應(yīng)”。句意：一些人不能到超過(海拔)4,000米的高度，因為他們的身體不能適應(yīng)那里極端的條件。adopt“采納，收養(yǎng)”;addict“使上癮”;access“接近”。
11.As the Beijing Olympics logo says，‘One world，One dream’，China has provided best services for the competitors and ________.
A.interpreters B.receptionists
C.spectators D.volunteers
答案與解析：C spectator“觀眾”。句意：正如北京奧運(yùn)會的口號“同一個世界，同一個夢想”所說的那樣，中國已經(jīng)向參賽者和觀眾提供了最好的服務(wù)。volunteer“志愿者”是提供服務(wù)的，而不是接受服務(wù)的，所以應(yīng)該排除。interpreter“翻譯員”，receptionist“招待員”。
12.Let's look up the word in the dictionary.Do you have one ________?
A.in hand B.in need
C.at once D.at your hands
答案與解析：A in hand在手頭上。句意：讓我們在字典里查查這個單詞吧，你手上有一本嗎?in need“在危難中，在危機(jī)中”;at once“立刻，馬上”;at your hands“在某人手下”。
13.The new couple spent some money for the ________ of the furniture necessary for their new house.

A.congratulation B.awareness
C.anniversary D.operation
答案與解析：C anniversary“周年紀(jì)念”。句意：我們是1964年5月20日結(jié)婚的，因此我們每年在結(jié)婚周年紀(jì)念日都要辦一個聚會。congratulation“慶祝”;awareness“意識，知道”;operation“運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，操作”。
15.Never did we have to play“stand up”，“sit down”，“speak out”but I don't ________ one student who didn't try his best.
A.hear from B.feel like
C.think about D.know of
答案與解析：D know of“知道，聽說”。句意：我們沒有必要練習(xí)“站“，“坐”�！罢f”，但我未聽說有哪個學(xué)生不盡力的。A(收到……的來信)，B(想……)，C(考慮)，三項都不符合句意。
Ⅲ.閱讀理解
In the middle of the first term of school，the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills.Steve hurried through his tests，and continued to dream of other things.His heart was not in school，but in the woods.
One day，Miss White's impatient voice broke into his daydreams.“Steve!!Pay attention!”Steve turned to look at her，fixing his eyes on Miss White，as she began to go over the test resu
lts for the seventh grade.
“You all did pretty well，”she told the class，“except for one boy，and it breaks my heart to tell you this，but...”She hesitated，her eyes searching his face.“...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”She just stared at Steve.Steve dropped his eyes.
After that，it was war!!Steve still wouldn't do his homework.Even as the punishments became more severe，he remained stubborn.“Just try it!ONE WEEK!”He was unmoved.
“You're smart enough!You'll see a change!”Nothing touched him.
“Give yourself a chance!Don't give up on your life!”Nothing.
“Steve!Please!I care about you!”
Wow!Suddenly，Steve got it!!Someone cared about him?Steve went home from school，thoughtful，that afternoon.Walking into the house，he found both parents were out.He，quickly，gathered up a jar of peanut butter，a loaf of bread，a bottle of water，and this time...his schoolbooks.
The following Monday he arrived at school on time，and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom.She walked in，all smiles!God，she was beautiful!
Miss White，immediately，gave a quiz on the weekend homework.Steve hurried through the test and was the first to hand in his paper.With a look of surprise，Miss White took his paper.Obviously puzzled，she began to look it over.Miss White's face was in total shock!The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!
From that moment nothing was the same for Steve.Life at home remained the same，but life still changed.He discovered that not only could he learn，but he was good at it!

B.he was not a smart boy in his class
C.the test for the seventh grade challenged his confidence
D.he hadn't put his heart into his studies
答案與解
析：D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。通過第一段最后一句：他的心思不在學(xué)校，而是在樹林里�？芍xD。
2.The underlined word“stubborn”in the passage probably refers to“________”.
A.severely punished

B.help from his classmates

答案與解析：C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。從“I care about you!”“Suddenly，Steve got it!Someone cared about him?”以及后面的翻天覆地的變化，可以得知是老師的關(guān)心使史蒂夫開始努力學(xué)習(xí)。
