D.ishe答案：A15.“Becareful；donotstand________tothefire，Jim，”MrsThompsonsaidtoherlittleson.答案：A16.我完全忘了打電話給她。答案：Icompletelyforgettocallher.解析：本題考查動詞用法。forgettodosth.忘記做某事。完全，用副詞“completely”。翻譯整個句子時要注意時態(tài)用一般過去時。17.Idon'tthinkmath_____.答案：D18.—Howwasthe2008BeijingOlympicopeningceremony?

—_______thatthewholeworldwasattracted.

A．ItwasveryfantasticB．SuchfantasticwasitC．SofantasticwasitD．Sofantasticitwas答案：C解析：因為沒有very+adj+that的結(jié)構(gòu)，故先排除A。而B項中的such是修飾名詞的，故也排除。而so表示程度的副詞放在句首，應用倒裝，故選C。19.—Helenmustobeyherparents.

—Oh，shemust，__________?A．mustsheB．mustn’tsheC．shouldn’tsheD．shouldshe答案：A解析：對某人的話表示譏諷或懷疑時，可以重復他的話，所以反意疑問句中的動詞形式和陳述部分應一致；或者都用肯定形式，或者都用否定形式。20.Whatdidhewanttoknow,Anne?

_______Icouldfinishwritingthereport.A．WhenwasitB．ItwaswhenthatC．ItwaswhenD．Whenitwasthat答案：D解析：本句承接上文考查know的賓語，所以回答應該是陳述語序的名詞性從句。When引導的強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)的特殊問句作賓語，用陳述語序?！緲撕灐繌娬{(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)21.ThesewildflowersaresospecialthatIwoulddo____Icantosavethem.A．whateverB．thatC．whichD．whichever答案：A解析：考查名詞性的引導詞。題意是：這些野花太特別了，我想盡我所能拯救它們。句中do后是一個賓語從句，Ican后承前省略了謂語動詞do,tosavethem是目的狀語?？梢钥闯鲑e語從句Icando不完整，缺少賓語成分，所以引導詞要用關(guān)系代詞what或whatever.人們常把dowhat/whateversbcantodosth當承一個句式，意為“盡力去做某事”。故答案為A.22._____Tracywasinsuchahurry?

Idon’tknow．Shemighthavebeenrunningtocatchthebus.A．WhydoyouthinkB．WhyyouthinkC．DoyouthinkwhyD．Whynotthink答案：A解析：doyouthink作插入語，疑問詞放在插入語之前。23.Whichsentencehasadifferentmeaningfromtheothers?[

D.howthewaytocelebrateThanksgivingDaychangedwiththetimeandplaces答案：1-5

CAACB解析：1.第二段第二句話“Thatiswhyitiscelebratedinlatefall…”中的latefall意思是“晚秋”。2.第二段后半部分講述了來自英國的清教徒移民舉辦感恩節(jié)是為了感謝上帝使他們平安橫渡大西洋到美洲。3.由第三段前兩句可知NewEngland和Massachusetts是美國的兩個洲。4.略5.綜觀全文可知，短文主要講述了感恩節(jié)的來歷以及人們慶祝此節(jié)日的不同方式。35.WelcometomyMessageBoard!
