2．More and more people have become interested in travelling abroad _________ (近来).
【答案】(r)ecently
【详解】句意：最近越来越多的人对出国旅游感兴趣。recently是副词，近来。此处是缺少状语recently，故填(r)ecently。
3．I’m surprised to see you awake(醒着)— ten minutes ago you were a________(睡着的).
【答案】(a)sleep
【详解】句意：我很惊讶看见你醒了——十分钟之前你还睡着呢。此空为形容词作表语，asleep表示“睡着的”。故填(a)sleep。
4．P________ (也许) children should talk with their parents about the problems.

【详解】句意：到处都是倒下的树木、破碎的窗户和垃圾。fallen“倒下的”，此处是形容词，故填(F)allen。
二、按要求改写句子。
1．I was sleeping when he called me.（对画线部分提问）
_________were you __________ when he called you?
【答案】 What doing

2．In the early 19th century, the first trains began to carry passengers.(变成疑问句)
________ ________ the first trains ________ to carry passengers?
【答案】 When did begin
【详解】句意：在19世纪早期，第一列火车开始载客。划线部分表示“时间”，所以用when提问；原句时态为一般过去时，且句中没有be动词或情态动词，所以借助助动词did，置于疑问词之后，动词began变为原形begin。故填When；did；begin。
3．Lee has helped the local people sell their products since he returned to his hometown.（对画线部分提问）
______ ______ has Lee helped the local people sell their products?
【答案】 How long
【详解】句意：李先生回到家乡后，一直帮助当地人销售他们的产品。画线部分“since he returned to his hometown.”意为“自从他回到他的家乡以后（直到现在）”，表示的是一段时间，对一段时间进行提问应用疑问词how long，句首首字母h应大写，所以第一空应填How，第二空应填long。故填How；long。
4．The Browns were watching TV when they got the phone call last night． （ 改为一般疑问句）
_____the Browns_____TV when they got the phone call last night？
【答案】 Were watching
【详解】句意：布朗一家昨晚接到电话时正在看电视。
原句是由when引导的时间状语从句，主句是过去进行时结构，一般疑问句要把be动词were提到句首并首字母大写，其他顺序不变，故填Were,watching.
5．They were reading in the library when the rainstorm came. (改为否定句)
They ________ ________ in the library when the rainstorm came.
【答案】 weren’t reading
【详解】句意：暴雨来临时，他们正在图书馆看书。句子含有be动词，变否定句时在be动词后加not，were not=weren’t。故填weren’t；reading。
三、单项选择。

A．a B．an C．the D．/
【答案】B

考查冠词。A. a不定冠词，表示类别，用于辅音之前；B. an不定冠词，表示类别，用于元音之前；C. the定冠词，表示特指；D. / 不填。根据句意，空处的冠词表示类别，并且alarm第一个发音的因素是/ə/，元音，故选B。
【点睛】英语冠词分两类：定冠词the；不定冠词a an。定冠词the表示特指，不定冠词a、 an表示类别，元音之前用an，辅音之前用a。
2． ---- Why not swim in the river?
---Oh, no. our teacher told us _____ here. It’s dangerous.
A．will swim B．will not swim
C．to swim D．not to swim
【答案】D

考点：考查动词不定式的用法。

七、阅读理解
In the Charles F. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings(警报) about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news: A heavy storm was coming. William Tomic, principal(校长) of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.
Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well. (我们对它的工作感到很高兴)，” William Tomic said. “The parents were as well.”
The U．S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97，000 public schools in the country.
Every year, more than 10，000 big thunderstorms, 2，500 floods, 1，000 tornadoes(龙卷风) and some hurricanes(飓风) take place in the U．S., so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous things.
