当丹尼有问题时，他总是说，“对不起，你忙吗？我是这个游戏的新手，我需要一些帮助。

，有时候会得到帮助，有时候则不会。

（1）句意：他对解谜感兴趣，in为介词，介词后的动词使用ing形式，故答案是solving。

（2）句意：现在丹尼正安静地坐在电脑前。

根据now可知句子为现在进行时，现在进行时的结构是be+doing，注意是第三人称单数，be的形式为is，sit的ing形式为sitting，故答案是is sitting。

（5）句意：因为我可以装扮成不同的人。

（6）句意：也有许多不同种类的游戏让我来玩。

kind可数名词，根据many可是应使用复数形式，故答案是kinds。

（7）句意：世界上总是有人想玩。

（9）句意：当丹尼有问题的时候，他总是说：“打扰一下，你忙吗？我是这个游戏的新手，我需要帮助。

”question可数名词，但是使用了单数形式，且该单词首字母的发音问辅音，应使用不定冠词a，故答案是a。

（10）句意：有时候这行得通。

根据sometimes，可知句子时态为一般现在时，主语this 按照第三人称单数对待，动词使用单三形式，故答案是works。

【点评】考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力，答题时首先要跳过空格通读文章掌握其大意，然后细读文章，字斟句酌逐一作答，注意考虑句型、语法、搭配、语境等因素。

11．阅读理解
①Would you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China's "one-child policy（政策）", this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings（兄弟姐妹） in the future.
②What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a si bling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. "Siblings give children something that parents can't," she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.
③"But children with siblings also have to learn to control（控制）their feelings," said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.
④Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.
⑤Kevin Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals（目标） for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.
（1）The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refers to（指） ______.
A. one-child policy
B. having a brother or a sister
C. the end of "one-child policy"
D. being allowed to have more than two children （2）In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ______.
A. the advantages of having a sibling
B. how to look after a sibling
C. how to get on well with a sibling
D. the secrets of having a sibling
（3）According to Kevin Leman, ______.
A. late-born children are usually successful at school
B. having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings
C. parents are usually more strict with their first-born child
D. children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings
（4）Which of the following best shows the structure（结构） of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】【分析】文章大意：中国开放二胎，家里有2个小孩，会使得孩子不感到孤独，父母对待孩子的方式不一样，第一胎较为严格。

（1）推断题。

根据文章提到的Would you like to have a brother or a sister可知，this指代了上文提到的have a brother or a sister，故选B。

（2）主旨题。

根据文章介绍了二孩的好处，不会让孩子感到孤独，可知第二段介绍了the advantages of having a sibling，故选A。

（3）细节题。

根据文章提到的Kevin Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child可知，父母对第一胎要求严格，故选C。

（4）细节题。

根据文章一开始说了二胎政策，然后说了二胎的好处与坏处，可知文章的结构是总分，第二段和第三段讲述了有兄弟姐妹的情景，第四五段讲述了有兄弟姐妹可能会导致的问题，故选D。

A Faithful Dog
More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.
One day the Prince wanted to go hunting（打猎） with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle（摇篮）, which was like a small bed.
When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws（爪子） on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood （血） on Gelert's jaws（下巴） and head.
"What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them. "So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword（剑） and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed （设法） to bark.

Every morning at dawn, he walked up the mountain and stood by the dog's grave for a few minutes.
