20、D 解析：根据句意知，父亲同意了儿子将要去俱乐部见足球队的朋友，所以在这里是父亲祝儿子玩得开心，答案选D。Good luck.祝你好运；Congratulations.祝贺你；With pleasure.很荣幸；Have fun.过得愉快。2. C 解析：句意：在外上班的母亲的日程计划应具有弹性，以使照看孩子更加容易。heavy重的；smooth平滑的，平稳的；flexible灵活的，可变动的；complex复杂的。根据后文to make it easier to care for their children可知此题应选C项。3. D 解析：考查动词词组。句意：今天早晨我上学迟到了，因为一起
21、事故造成了交通堵塞。hold up支持，延迟，阻碍，举出；use up用完，用光；give up停止，放弃；lock up将锁起来，把监禁起来。4. B 解析：句意：我不愿意和他讲话，更不用说相信他并借给他钱了。B.更不用说；A.泄露，放大；C.遗漏；D.停止，中断。5. D 解析：句意：如果明天下雨，我们将不得不取消足球比赛。根据主句中的would have以及从句中的tomorrow可知此句为与将来事实相反的虚拟语气，所以从句谓语应为should / were todo；同时，虚拟语气中从句省略if时，情态动词/be动词需提到主语前。若选A项，应改为：Were it to rain tom
22、orrow才正确。6. B 解析：考查时态和语态。句意：洪灾区的食物供应将要用光了，我们必须在用完之前立即采取行动。由句中before theres none left可知食物还没有用完，只是将要用完，故可排除表“已用完”的A项，而食物耗尽不用被动形式，故排除C、D两项；只有B项are running out表“即将耗尽”。7. A 解析：考查动词词义辨析。sponsor意为“赞助，资助”；launch意为“发动；着手(事业等)”；organize意为“组织”；plan意为“计划，打算”。句意：两名律师已捐款5万美元来_我们学校的“帮助贫困学生”的活动，这个活动是3年前我们的前任校长发起的。根
23、据后面的定语从句which was started by our former headmaster three years ago可知这个活动已经“发起”了，故排除B、C、D三项。所以选A项，应为“赞助”这一活动。8. C 解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意：昨天他们吵了架并且不理对方了，但现在他们和好了。turn up“出现；调大(音量)”；put up“穿上”；make up“编造；弥补；与某人和解或和好”；show up“到来；出现；使显现出来”。9. B 解析：transform.into.“把转变/改造成为”。句意：令人吃惊的是，在短短十年间，这个偏远的小村庄变成了著名的旅游城市。10.
24、 B 解析：convey表示“传递；表达”，主要指传递和表达思想、意思、感情，符合句意。drive“驱使”；deliver“递送(物品、包裹、信件等)”；transport“(用交通工具)运送；运输”。故答案为B。二、语法填空【语篇解读】这则新闻报道了美国各地高校如何安排外国留学生一起共度西方的传统节日感恩节。1. traditionally 解析：作状语，修饰动词gather，用副词。2. are closed 解析：由上下文的谓语动词时态可知，用一般现在时；主谓是被动关系，用被动语态。句意是：大多数学校关门（即放假）。3. around / throughout 解析：表示“全国各地”，即
25、around / throughout the country= all over the country。4. a 解析：a student population of意为“学生人数有”。5. coaches 解析：由teachers可知，coach用复数形式。6. like 解析：表示举例，“像”。7. called 解析：因program与call是被动关系，用过去分词作定语，相当于定语从句which is called。8. whom 解析：引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是students，在介词后用whom。9. other 解析：作定语，表示“其他的，别的”。10. and 解析：用
26、and连接“The families provide”和“they generally invite.”两个并列句。三、阅读理解【语篇解读】自然界如何随着气候的变化而产生相应的反应，科学家们为了得到更充分的数据，与有关人员成立了专门组织进行研究。1. A 解析：推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可推知，成立这个组织是为了发挥众人的作用，协助科学家更好地研究自然界如何对气候变化产生反应。2. B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，Project BudBurst的任务是收集普通植物的信息。3. C 解析：推理判断题。根据第六段内容可推知，Jennifer的意思是紫丁香开花可以预测野火的发生。4. D 解析：主旨大意题。文章第一段的第一句开门见山地点明了主题，由此可判断D项正确。另外，最后两段的内容也是线索提示。
