小题1:C形容词辨析。A 惊讶的；B 羞愧的；C 激动的；D 担心的。从情理推断当Travis一直盼望着能有一双和队友们同样品牌的运动鞋时，他看到生日礼物是双鞋的时候心情会非常激动，C选项正确。

小题8:B动词辨析。A掉下，摔倒；B 僵住；C摇晃；D 折叠。从下文his heart stopped可知Travis此时心情复杂，思索着如何去面对队友们，所以手也停止了动作，故B选项正确。
小题9:C动词辨析。A 质问，审问；B 发现，注意到；C 耻笑，戏弄；D 攻击。从上下文可知队友们都穿这个品牌的运动鞋，出于青少年攀比的心理，如果他没有这样的鞋队友们应该是笑话他，所以C选项正确。
小题10:D情态动词辨析。A 禁止；B 没必要；C 不会；D 不能够。从文章的叙述可知Travis是个懂事的孩子，怕父亲伤心，所以他觉得不能让父亲知道他的失望。所以D选项正确。

小题16:C名词辨析。Ａ队友；Ｂ成年人；Ｃ 小孩；Ｄ 学生。按情理推测孩子生日时收到不喜欢的礼物，一般会表现出来，但是Travis却表现的非常克制，丝毫没有表现出失望的样子，句意：当你收到你不喜欢的鞋子时，本来可能会表现的像个小孩子一样。。。，所以C选项正确。
小题17:C连词辨析。Ａ 所以，于是；Ｂ 并且；Ｃ 但是；Ｄ或者，否则。从语境可知此处you were polite and made the best of it.和上文是转折关系。所以C选项正确。

Robert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Ballard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive.
When Ballard wasn’t at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.
Ballard was a hardworking student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict（预知）volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously（以前）unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the ocean’s surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.
By the 1980s, Ballard’s interests changed. He developed unmanned（无人的）vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the well-known ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked for — and found — other well-known ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母舰) that sank during World War II.
Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the world’s huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?
小题1:What was Ballard’s dream when he was young?| A．To be a science teacher. | B．To be an underwater explorer. | | C．To be an animal expert. | D．To be a famous writer. |
小题2:When Ballard worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he _____.| A．explored the undersea world by ship | | B．thought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoes | | C．found some unknown sea animals alone | | D．set up an organization to teach students science |
小题3:Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text about Ballard?
a. He found the German battleship Bismarck.
b. He read a book about Captain Nemo.
c. He found the famous ship Titanic.
d. He became an expert in science.| A．b-c-d-a | B．d-b-c-a | C．b-d-c-a | D．d-c-a-b |
小题4:What can we learn from the text?| A．Ballard’s parents felt disappointed at his undersea adventures. | | B．Ballard didn’t like fishing and swimming in his childhood. | | C．Ballard was greatly influenced by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. | | D．Human beings have explored more than half of the sea. |

The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.
After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!
Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.
So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!
小题1:Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?| A．She missed her cousins very much. | | B．Her aunt begged her to go there. | | C．She could hardly afford any better trip. | | D．Spain was her ideal destination. |
小题2:In the story, the writer ended up _________.| A．flying to London immediately | B．heading for Spain from Jamaica | | C．complaining to the authorities | D．enjoying a free beach holiday |
小题3:Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?| A．A Lucky Mistake | B．A Terrible Adventure | | C．A Nice Dream | D．A Well-Planned Trip |
