15、me forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: Its best to be thrown clear of a serious accident.

42、经常做某事。be used to do sth.意为被用来做某事。be/get used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。【译文】 如果是用得当，这太新机器会使用10年的。【答案及简析】 D。 本题考查分词与主语之间的关系。if the new machine is used properlyC考查比较状语从句的用法。此处as强调形容词，应用as+形容词+冠词+名词+as的形式。B考查副词的用法。句意：旅馆好，天气热，海滩美。总之，那是一个愉快的假期。此处altogether总之。解析：考查情态动词。would可用来表示过去经常性、习惯性的动作。句意为：当他在那儿时，他每天下班后都经常
43、到街道拐角处的咖啡店。答案：AA考查代词辨析。此处句意表示“研究了Wendy的菜单，我发现很多都和麦当劳的菜品类似”，所以这里用those来指代前文提到的the items。B项ones指代“不带定冠词的名词复数形式”；C项any指代“任何一样物品”，表示“单数”；D项all则表示“所有东西”，与语境不符，故综合选A项。解析：考查代词。句意为：这款车的基本设计与之前车型的设计非常相似。此处用that指代前面提到的the basic design。答案：A【考点】考察定语从句【答案】A【解析】本题定语从句的先行词是the many dangers，在定语从句中关系代词which指代先行词在句中作
44、为动词face的宾语，可以省略。CD两项都是关系副词，在定语从句中通常只作状语，不能做宾语。What不是定语从句的关系词。句义：在士兵面对的很多危险中，也许最大的危险是雾吧！故A正确。【试题延伸】解答定语从句的关键是分析句子成分，如果定语从句中句子成分很完整就使用关系副词来引导；如果句子缺少主语，宾语，表语或者定语的时候就使用关系代词。同时也要注意一些关系词的特殊用法，尤其是that/as的特殊用法，既要注意普遍性，也要注意特殊性。【举一反三】That evening, _ I will tell you more about later, I ended up working very la
45、te.A. that B. which C. what D. when【答案】B【解析】这里that evening是先行词，其在定语从句中作介词about的宾语，所以用which。句意：以后我将和你谈起的那个晚上，我工作到了很晚。解析：考查交际用语。句意为：你介意我打开窗户吗，先生？最好别开。我感觉有点冷。A项表示“当然行，没问题”，B项表示“一点也不”，C项表示“我恐怕不”，都不符合语境。答案：D答案：C考查动词语态。第一空用现在分词作后置定语修饰Joanne Rowling的同位语a poor single mother；第二空动词sell与副词well连用表示主语books的特点，故用

48、综合概括题。从原文对三种myths的更正表明,开车时必须带上安全带。语篇解读：谦虚是中华民族的传统美德，可是在美国，自信却尤为重要。1解析：考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句“Living and competing with all these confident American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as.”可知自信尤为重要。答案：A2解析：考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句可知如果学生不自信，不积极发言，教授会认为他没有准备好讨论或者没有自己独特的见解，故而会对他评价很低，故D项正确。答案：D3解析：考查
49、细节理解。根据第二段第二句话可知，不懂装懂可能会带来尴尬甚至是耻辱，故C项正确。答案：C4解析：考查篇章结构。整篇文章作者都是通过讲述自己的经历来阐述自信在美国的重要性，故D项正确。答案：D答案：57-60 CCAA四 、书面表达Film or book, which do you prefer?Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole
50、 story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and whats more, I am able to better understand the authors ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
