　　答案：up　考查動詞短語。句意：由于工作占用了幾乎所有的時間，醫生們不常出去。take up“占用(時間)，占據(空間)”，符合句意。

　　2．(2024·青島模擬改編)There is no need ________(rush) and it's no use ________(arrive) there too early.

　　答案：to rush; arriving　考查固定句式。句意：無需匆忙，太早到那兒也沒用。There's no need to do...“不需要做……”；It's no use doing...“做……沒用”。

　　3．I picked up a copybook in the schoolyard yesterday ________(mark) with name and class.

　　答案：marked　由句意可知，此處指“標有姓名和班級的一個抄寫本”，過去分詞短語作定語修飾copybook。

　　答案：an　句意：總經理堅持認為毫無意義的爭論應該停止。come to an end“停止”。

　　答案：consisting　句意：由30名學生組成的夏令營將赴北京并在那兒待上三周。consist of“由……組成”。此處consisting of為現在分詞短語作定語，相當于“ which consists of”。

　　7．(2024·柳州模擬改編)—Why don't we choose that road to save time?

　　—The bridge to it ________(repair)．

　　答案：is being repaired　考查時態。上下文語境表明討論的是現在的情況，不選擇那條路，是因為通往那條路的橋正在被修理，故用一般現在時的被動語態。

　　答案：memory　考查名詞。句意：我的記憶肯定在捉弄我，我確信我把那本書放在桌子上了。memory“記憶”，符合句意。

　　10．He pretended ________(read) an important paper when the boss entered.

　　答案：to be reading　考查不定式的時態。句意：老板進來時他假裝正在看一份重要的文件。由句意可知，老板進來時他假裝正在看文件，所以要用不定式的進行時態。

　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children's every demand at Christmas, say experts. Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts.

　　Consumer—savvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.

　　Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said, “Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids. There's nothing wrong with that as such. The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children's demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not age-appropriate.”

　　Ms. Calland, who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson, added, “Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills. Yet so often the parcels we've carefully wrapped, once opened, are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in.”

　　Ms. Calland and Ms. Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring's Christmas lists this year. They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (糾纏) power”．

　　Ms. Calland said, “All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we're only building up problems for the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”

　　“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it. Make sure you and your partner are working together on this. Be consistent. And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”

　　語篇解讀：本文是時文閱讀。由于父母對孩子圣誕節的要求無限制地滿足，產生了“I want it now”一代。

　　1．How is the “I want it now” generation created?

　　A．Parents can't afford the gifts for their children.

　　B．Parents become heavily in debt.

　　C．Parents are trying to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale.

　　D．Parents give children whatever they want at Christmas.

　　答案：D　細節理解題。從第一段第一句可知“I want it now”一代的產生是由于父母對孩子圣誕節的要求無限制地滿足。

　　A．They are quite self-centered.

　　B．They like to live in fairy tales.

　　A．To advise on how to wrap gifts properly.

　　B．To keep children's interest in the gifts.

　　4．According to the passage, we can infer that Ms. Calland intends to ________.

　　A．analyze children's behavior

　　B．give advice to parents

　　C．introduce a new generation

　　D．give her support to parents
