Two weeks before the third mock exam, our class began a project called “One Square Meter of Spring”. Each group was asked to improve a small corner of the school.
My group chose the old flower bed beside the canteen. At first, I only 1 it as another task. The soil was hard, the sign was broken, and few students stopped there.
On the first afternoon, we worked in2 because everyone was worried about the coming exam. Then Mr. Gao, our science teacher,3 by and asked, “What do you want this place to tell others?” His question gave us4 . We decided to plant herbs and put up a board showing how plants clean the air.5 the work took time, it helped us relax after long hours of study. Once, a classmate suggested buying plastic flowers because they would look good at once, but we6 . Real growth needed patience. When the herbs finally sent out green leaves, we felt so7 .

【解析】
1.B. saw起初我只是把这次校园改造活动看作又一项普通任务。see…as…是固定搭配,意为 “把…… 看作……”,用于表达一开始内心不重视、只当任务完成的心态。A 描述、C 使用、D 对待,都不能和 as 构成这种固定搭配,故本题选 B。
2.A. silence 当时临近模考,大家心里都担心考试,所以默默干活、沉默不语。in silence 固定短语表示“沉默地、安静地”,契合大家心事重重、无心交谈的状态。B 麻烦,in trouble表示处于麻烦中;C 危险,in danger 表示处于危险中;D 需要,in need表示有需要,因此本题选 A。
3.A. passed 科学老师高老师从旁边路过,停下来向我们提问。pass by是固定短语,表示 “路过、经过”。B 走路、C 开车、D 过来,都没有 “顺路经过” 的固定搭配含义,,因此本题选 A。
4.D. idea 老师的提问点醒了我们,给了我们思路、想法,让大家重新思考改造花坛的意义。idea 表示 “想法、思路”,与受到启发萌生新方案的语境吻合。B 问题、C 力量、D 希望,都不能表示构思出新方案的含义,因此本题选 D。
5.B. Though 句子的含义为:虽然改造工作耗费时间,但也让我们在长时间学习后得到放松。Though 引导让步状语从句,表 “虽然、尽管”,贴合前后让步转折逻辑。A 如果、C 因为、D 当…… 时候,因此本题选 B。
6.B. refused 有同学提议买仿真花立刻好看,但我们拒绝了,认为真正的生长需要耐心。refused 拒绝,这与坚持原生态、反对速成造假的态度一致。A 同意、C 离开、D 哭泣,都和坚守原则不认同提议的文意相反,因此本题选 B。
7.C. proud 当草本植物终于长出绿叶,付出的努力有了成果,我们内心充满自豪、成就感。proud自豪的,对应劳动收获成果的喜悦。A 疲惫的、B 放松的、D 担忧的,情感色彩都不符合心愿达成的心境,选 C。
8.C. stop 越来越多的同学开始在花坛边驻足、停留,看书或轻声聊天。stop 停下、驻足,贴合路过停留休憩的场景。B 奔跑、B 经过、D 去,都没有特意停下逗留的含义,语境不符,选 C。
9.A. popular 改造后的花坛环境宜人,成了大家都喜欢来的受欢迎的休闲角落。popular 受欢迎的、人气高的,契合众人纷纷前来休憩的状态。B 漂亮的、C 干净的、D 安全的,都体现不出人人喜爱、聚集打卡的热度,选 A。
10.A. even 我们明白:即使是微小的改变,也能让校园变得更美。even 即使、哪怕,用来让步强调小事也有大意义。B 仅仅、C 只是、D 仍然,都无法表达这种让步递进的语气,选 A。
11.D. importance 我们也领悟到了团队合作的重要性。the importance of teamwork 固定表达 “团队合作的重要性”。A 习惯、B 意义、C 规则,这几个选项与语境表达不符,因此本题选 D。
12.C. played 每位成员都扮演、发挥着重要角色。play an important role是固定搭配,表示 “扮演重要角色、起重要作用”。A 制作、B 拿、D 做,都无法构成这个固定短语,因此本题选C。
13.A. We 前文讲我们小组分工合作,挖土、播种、浇水,我们所有人配合默契。We 指代小组成员,人称指代一致。B 你们、C 他们、D 他,人物指代全部错位,因此本题选 A。
14.B. changed 这次校园改造项目改变了我们的生活与心态,教会我们爱学校、护环境。changed 改变,贴合活动带来成长与思想转变的内涵。A 伤害、C 打破、D 花费,都和活动育人、带来成长的语境无关,因此本题选 B。
15.C. symbol 美丽的花坛是我们辛勤付出和团队精神的象征。symbol象征、标志,贴合承载精神与汗水的寓意。A 名字、B 迹象、D 结果,都无法代表精神内涵的象征意义,立意深度不足,因此本题选 C。
