一、单项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
1. —Do you know that the UK is ________ European country?
—Yes, it is also a beautiful island country.
A. a B. an C. the D. /
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你知道英国是一个欧洲国家吗？——是的，它也是一个美丽的岛国。
考查冠词辨析。根据“European”和语境可知，此处是询问英国是否是一个欧洲国家，为泛指，又因European首字母发音为辅音音素，其前需用a修饰。故选A。
2. Lisa, if you have a chance to travel to China, don’t forget to visit ________.
A. Tower Bridge B. the Little Mermaid
C. the Statue of Liberty D. the Summer Palace
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：丽莎，如果你有机会去中国旅游，别忘了参观颐和园。
考查情景交际和常识。Tower Bridge塔桥（英国）；the Little Mermaid小美人鱼铜像（丹麦）；the Statue of Liberty自由女神像（美国）；the Summer Palace颐和园（中国）。根据语境可知，此处是去中国旅游，the Summer Palace“颐和园”在中国。故选D。
3. —Is the boy in the classroom David?
—It can’t be him. He ________ the library to borrow some books for his report.
A. has been in B. has been to C. has gone to D. went to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——教室里的男孩是大卫吗？——不可能是他。为了他的报告，他去图书馆借书了。
考查现在完成时和have been to（或in）/have gone to的区别。has been in一直都在，现在完成时；has been to曾经去过某地（去已归来），现在完成时；has gone to去了某地（去而未归），现在完成时；went to一般过去时。根据语境可知，询问教室里的男孩是否是大卫，答语表示不可能，并告知大卫去图书馆了，可推测此处是去而未归，has gone to“去了某地（去而未归）”符合语境。故选C。
4. — We can always find something good in a bad ________ if we look for it.
— It’s so true. Let’s make full use of what comes.
A. situation B. direction C. instruction D. competition
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——如果我们去寻找，总能在逆境中找到好的东西。——太对了。让我们充分利用所得到的。
考查名词辨析。situation情况；direction方向；instruction指导；competition比赛。根据“We can always find something good in a bad…”可知，此处指“在不好的情况下/在逆境中”，故选A。
