一、单项选择(每小题1分，共20分)
1．________ exciting film Aquaman is!
A．What B．What a C．What an D．How
【答案】C
【详解】
句意：“潜水侠”是一部多么令人兴奋的电影啊！
考查感叹句。根据句意理解及句子结构可知，本句中is是谓语，Aquaman是句子的主语，而主语前面还有另外的名词film，所以这里应该确定用what形式来引导这个感叹句，而名词film是一个可数名词的单数形式，且空格后面的词exciting是元音音标开头的单词，所以这里应该用不定冠词an，所以整个句子应该用What an来引导，故选C。
【点睛】
注意英语中感叹句的用法结构。1. What+a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+主语+谓语!2. What+(形容词)+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语! 3. How+形容词/ 副词+主语+谓语! 4. How+主语+谓语!做题时要根据句子结构来分析应该用哪个结构。

考查非谓语。be是，动词原形；to be是，动词不定式；being是，现在分词或者动名词；to being是，介词+动词ing形式；根据句意理解及句子结构分析可知，这是一个主系表的句子，句中的表语应该用不定式来充当，构成一个结构My dream is to be ….，故选B。
3．Alice bought her mother a sweeper robot, ________ she will not be so tired.
A．or B．but C．so D．and
【答案】C
【详解】

考查并列连词辨析。or或者；but但是；so所以；and和；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是因果关系，且后句she will not be so tired.她将不会那么累是表示结果，所以这里应该选择so，故选C。
【点睛】
英语中连词的选择主要是根据上下句句意来理解，如果关系是递进关系，就选择and，如果是转折就选择but，如果是选择关系，就选择or，如果是因果关系就选择so。

In 1935, twins Dulcie and Nancie sent letters into a Sydney radio station. They wanted the host of a radio program to take their mail to Los Angeles to find them pen pals.
Eighty years later, the sisters are still exchanging letters. Their pen pals are also twins.
"I have one very large box full of letters and photos taken over the 80 years," Nancie said.
"The letters are very interesting to read, especially the childhood ones.
"The first letter asked me if I knew Shirley Temple （秀兰·邓波儿）. And of course I did.
“The letters have been extremely interesting, especially over the war years. "
Dulcie and Nancie first met their pen pals Barbara and Beatrice in Sydney, 50 years after they first started writing.

【范文】
Dear Alice,
How are you? Does everything go well in England?
I haven't seen you for a long time. All of our classmates miss you very much. We're busy with studying these days. I imagine your life in England is much more relaxing, isn't it?
Recently, we have had a physics test. Many classmates got good marks, but I only got a "C". I sometimes find that physics is so difficult that I can hardly work out the problems. I know you are good at physics. Could you help me with my physics? I think we can have "Face time" on the Internet weekly. I will be very happy if we can do it like that. I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Jane
