Question

    I remember my hardest homework was in science. I had to make a small  ___________of a cell（细胞）. Science is one of my favorite subjects, but I am not that good at  ___________things.

___________, I used clay（陶土）. I made the clay into a ball, and cut off the top. This was to be the “cell  _______________”. The problems began quickly. The “cell” broke into pieces every time I put my hand on it, and turned to mud every time it got  ___________. It wasn’t working.

So, I used cement（水泥）to make a new cell wall. This one was strong, but it  ___________had problems.

First, it was the size of a basketball and was very heavy. It would be hard to ___________. Second, I couldn’t___________ the other parts of the cell on to the cell wall – the cement was too hard. Third, I wanted to use the tape to give___________ to the parts, but it would not stick to the cement.

There was  ____________I could do about the first problem. ____________the second problem, I put a wire（金属丝）around the cell wall and I used glue to stick parts on to it. Instead of tape, I used paint to name the  ____________.

There was one more  ____________. The cell had to be full of clear water, like a real cell. I filled it with water and brought it to school, but soon the table was wet. I checked, and the cell had a____________in it.

That day, I got a B+ for my  ____________. Although my cell didn’t look good, my teacher could tell how hard I’d worked. Today, as a teacher myself, I keep the model in my classroom as a reminder that hard work should be rewarded（奖励）.

【解析】

这篇短文介绍了作者制作细胞模型作业时遇到困难解决困难的过程。作者认真对待作业的态度受到了老师的好评。

1.句意：我不得不制作一个细胞的小模型。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。A. picture图画；B. example例子；C. model模型； D. part部分。根据第二段作者的操作可知此处指制作细胞模型，故选C。

2.句意：科学是我最喜欢的科目，但是我不是那么擅长制作东西。

考查动名词辨析及语境理解。A. making制作；B. shaping使成为……形状；C. inventing发明；D. dealing处理。根据第二段作者对制作过程的介绍，可知此处指作者不擅长制作东西，故选A。

3.句意：最初，我使用陶土。

考查短语辨析及语境理解。A. At once立刻；B. At first开始；C. At last最后；D. At least至少。根据后文“So, I used cement（水泥）to make a new cell wall.”可知此处指刚开始制作模型，故选B。

4.句意：这就成为“细胞壁”。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。A. door门；B. floor地板；C. wall墙；D. material材料。根据后文“Second, I couldn’t___8___ the other parts of the cell on to the cell wall”可知此处指细胞壁，故选C。

5.句意：那“细胞”在我每次把手放在上面时就会碎裂，每一次变湿就会变成稀泥。

考查形容词辨析及语境理解。A. wet潮湿的；B. clear清楚的；C. hard坚硬的；D. strong强壮的。根据“turned to mud”可知是变湿的情况下变成稀泥，故选A。

6.句意：这种非常结实，但是它也有问题。

考查副词辨析及语境理解。A. instead代替；B. already已经；C. also也；D. only仅仅。根据上午介绍用陶土制作的细胞模型的缺点及后文列举水泥制成的新细胞模型的问题，可知此处指用水泥制成的细胞也有问题，故选C。

7.句意：它很难携带。

考查动词辨析及语境理解。A. play玩；B. fill 填满；C. take带走；D. carry搬，抬，杠。根据上文“it was the size of a basketball and was very heavy.”可知水泥制的细胞搬起来太重，故选D。

8.句意：我不能把细胞的其他部分画到细胞壁上。

考查动词辨析及语境理解。 A. move移动；B. fix修理；C. draw画画；D. see看到。根据“the cement was too hard.”可知因为水泥太硬而不能把细胞其他部分画到细胞壁上。

9.句意：第三，我想使用胶带给细胞的各区域命名。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。 A. answers答案；B. cover封面；C. names名字；D. choices选择。根据后文“Instead of tape, I used paint to name the _____12_____.”可知此处指给细胞的各区域命名，故选C。

10.句意：关于第一个问题我无能为力。

考查代词辨析及语境理解。A. something某事；B. nothing没有东西；C. anything任何事；D. everything一切。该段分别对上文提到的三个问题作了分析。针对第二第三方面的问题，都有讲解决办法，唯独第一个问题没讲如何解决，由此可知此处指关于第一个问题我无能为力，故选B。

11.句意：对于第二个问题，我在细胞壁周围绕了一条金属丝。

考查介词辨析及语境理解。A. For为了，对于；B. As作为；C. In在……里；D. To朝……。根据后文的措施 “I put a wire（金属丝）around the cell wall…”可知此处是针对第二个问题的解决方法，故选A。

12.句意：代替胶带，我使用油漆给细胞各部分命名。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。A. cell 细胞；B. parts部分；C. wire金属丝；D. model模型。根据“Third, I wanted to use the tape to give___9___ to the parts”可知此处指使用油漆给细胞各部分命名，故选B。

13.句意：还有一个问题。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。A. problem问题；B. mistake错误；C. feeling感受；D. change改变。根据第四段提及三个问题，第五段提及了前两个问题的解决办法，后文“The cell had to be full of clear water, like a real cell.”是第三个问题的解决办法，所以此处指还有个问题，故选A。

14.句意：我检查了，细胞上有一个洞。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。A. card卡片；B. hole洞；C. hit撞击；D. rock岩石。根据前文“but soon the table was wet.”可以推测细胞壁上有洞水才会流出来弄湿桌子，故选B。

15.句意：那天，我的作业得了B+。

考查名词辨析及语境理解。A. homework作业；B. show表演；C. exam考试；D. report报道。根据短文开头“I remember my hardest homework was in science.”及后文，可知此处指作者的作业获得了B+，故选A。
