参考答案：

参考答案：

【详解】考查现在分词。

句意：这种类似塑料的材料受热后会软化。

分析句子可知，material of this kind与resemble在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。

故D选项正确。

【点睛】非谓语动词是考试考查的重点，要掌握它的用法。

首先，要弄清楚填空处要填的是非谓语。

其次，要知道非谓语动词的三种形式：现在分词表示主动进行、过去分词表示被动完成、动词不定式表示目的和将要。

再次，要知道非谓语动作与谓语动作是同时发生还是先后发生，还是将要发生。

分析句子可知，material of this kind与resemble在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。

故D选项正确。

【详解】考查虚拟语气。

句意：——你现在快乐吗？——要是我更苗条、更漂亮、更富有、更聪明就好了。

根据上文now以及if only可知是表示与现在情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋动词过去式。

故选B。

【点睛】If only: 常常用来表示强烈的愿望，因为用于虚拟语句时和wish类似，表达强烈的遗憾或与真实条件不符的愿望。

因而使用起来的形式与wish相同。

①表示与将来情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋would(could, might)+动词原形；
eg：If only she would try again.我希望她能再试一次
②表示与现在情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋动词过去式；
eg：If only I wasn’t going to London.我希望我没去过伦敦.
③表达与过去情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋would/could have/had＋过去分词。

eg：If only you had come to my birthday party.你要是来了我的生日晚会就好了。

【详解】考查形容词做伴随状语。

句意：老师对学生们所做的事很满意，对他们评价很高。

主句的主语是the teacher，delighted表示老师当时对学生做的事情感到高兴的状态，ed变化来的形容词表示人的感受；delighting“令人高兴的”，表示事物的特征；此处用形容词作伴随状语，故A项错误；D 项是被动式，错误。

根据句意，故选C。

三、阅读理解
18. It’s a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers that there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they didn’t have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job --- eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading the diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to the sound of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
21. From paragraph 1, we learn that the villagers __________________.
A. worked hard for centuries
B. dreamed of having a better life
C. were poor but somewhat content
D. lived a different life from their forefathers
22. Why did the villager agree to sell the frogs?
A. Because they wanted to please the visitors.
B. Because they needs money to buy medicine.
C. Because the frogs made too much noise.
D. Because the frogs were easy money.
23. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?
A. There were too many insects.
B. The visitors brought in diseases.
C. The crops didn’t do well.
D. The pesticides were overused.
24. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?
A. The harmony between man and nature is important.
B. Health is more important than money.
C. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
D. Good old day will never be forgotten.
