部分解析
单项选择：
21. B。本小题考查介词的搭配。be made of表示“由……制成”，of后接原材料；be made by表示“由……制造”，by后接动作的执行者；be made in表示“在……制造”，in后接表示地点或时间的词语；be made into表示“(原材料)被制成……”。第一个空格后的silver(银)是原材料，第二个空格后的France(法国)是地点，故选B。
22. C。本小题考查介词的用法。for意为“为了”；about意为“关于”；with意为“用”；from意为“来自”。题意：用剪刀我们能把纸剪成不同的形状，像鸟、动物和花。
23. D。本小题考查it作形式宾语的用法。分析句子成分可知，to send and receive information at great speed and little cost作makes的真正宾语，因此用it作形式宾语，故选D。
24. C。本小题考查名词词义辨析。tradition意为“传统”；environment意为“环境”；traffic意为“交通”；business意为“生意”。根据“越来越多的人有私家车”可知，这导致的结果是城市的“交通”越来越拥挤，故选C。
25. A。本小题考查形容词词义辨析。lively意为“生气勃勃的”；silly意为“愚蠢的；不明事理的”；usual意为“通常的；寻常的”；noisy意为“吵闹的”。杭州某校的一位老师在课堂上使用了微信，这样做的目的是为了使课堂有趣和“有生气”，故选A。 26. D。本小题考查副词词义辨析。seriously意为“严重地；严肃地；认真地”； wisely意为“明智地；聪明地”；loudly意为“喧闹地；大声地；响亮地”；widely意为“广泛地；普遍地”。 根据第一句“设法读许多不同种类的材料”可知，第二句表示“广泛地”阅读是增加词汇量的一个好方法，故选D。
27. D。本小题考查动词词义辨析。produce意为“生产；制造；出产”；require意为“需要；要求”；suggest意为“建议；提议”；complete意为“完成”。发话者问亚历克斯读完那本小说了没有，他回答没有，因为太长了所以只“完成”了一半，故选D。
28. B。本小题考查非谓语动词。avoid作动词，意为“避免”，后接动词-ing形式，构成avoid doing sth.结构，意为“避免做某事”，故选B。
29. D。本小题考查疑问词辨析。no matter可以与疑问词连用引导让步状语从句，no matter when意为“无论何时”；no matter how意为“无论怎样”；no matter which意为“无论哪一个”；no matter what意为“无论什么”。What's the weather like? = How is the weather?，故原题去掉like也可选B。题意：这个老人看上去很健康，原因是无论什么天气他每天都要锻炼两个小时。
30. B。本小题考查动词的语态及时态。主语Grandpa是动作grow的执行者，因此该句要用主动语态，故先排除选项C和D；根据时间状语every year及题干第二句中的says及likes可知，要用一般现在时，故选B。
31. C。本小题考查动词的语态及时态。主语it指代a beautiful place，和动词call (把……叫做)之间为动宾关系，因此该句要用被动语态，故先排除选项B和D；该句子陈述的是一个事实，因此要用一般现在时的被动语态，故选C。
32. D。本小题考查短语辨析。be good at意为“擅长于……”；be good for意为“对……有好处”；表示地点的名词作主语时，be known as表示“某地作为什么样的产地或地方而出名”，be known for表示“某地因某个名胜古迹、某种特点或特产而闻名”。its old city walls and streets (古城墙和街道)是平遥的特点，故选D。
33. D。本小题考查固定搭配。as long as意为“只要”；as well as 意为“和，也”；as soon as意为“一……就……”；as far as I know意为“就我所知”，根据句意“就我所知，他上课从来不迟到”可知选D。
34. B。本小题考查固定句型。It takes / took sb. some time to do sth.是英语中常见的句式，表示“某人花费(了)多长时间做某事”，故选B。
35. C。本小题考查情景交际。Yes, I think so意为“是的，我认为是这样的”；Yes, that's true意为“是的，那是真的”；That sounds interesting 意为“听起来很有趣”；Have a nice time 意为“祝你玩得开心”。发话者提议周末去野生动物园，根据答语的后一句“我一直期待去那儿”可知，应答者同意对方的提议，认为去野生动物园这个提议“听起来很有趣”，故选C。 完形填空： 【体裁】说明文 【话题】历史与社会
