23、d with those bags?No，its OK.I can_.Ado Bcarry Cmanage Dtake答案C解析句意：要我帮忙搬那些行李吗？不用，没问题。我应付得来。manage可作不及物动词，表示“成功/设法做成某事”，其他选项无此意思。故选C项。22They_him a very good job_his help.Aprovided；for Boffered；for Csupplied；for Dsupplied；with答案B解析句意：因为他的帮助他们为他提供了一份很好的工作。由句子结构可知，该题第一空要求填入一个可跟双宾语的动词，而四个选项中只有offer可以跟双宾语
24、；第二个空填介词for表示原因。故选B项。23By the time he realizes he_into a trap，itll be too late for him to do anything about it.Awalks Bwalked Chas walked Dhad walked答案C解析由句中realizes及itll be可知应用现在的时态，故排除B、D两项，由句意可知空白处强调已经完成的动作，故用现在完成时。24Did this_any great effect_the future of both mother and son?Ahave；upon Bhave；in
25、Cmake；upon Dmake；in答案A解析句意：这件事对于母亲和儿子的未来都产生了很大的影响吗？have an effect on/upon.“对有影响”；在疑问句或否定句中an可用any代替。25What did you want?Oh，nothing_.Aafter all Bby chance Con purpose Din particular答案D解析句意：你想要什么？噢，没什么特别的。in particular意为“尤其，特别”；nothing in particular没什么特别的，符合句意。after all毕竟，终究；by chance偶然；on purpose故意地。
26、26John was accepted by four universities that he_.Aapplied for Bhad applied to Cwas applied for Dwas applied to答案B解析句意：约翰被他所申请的四所大学录取。apply表示“申请，请求”时，是不及物动词；表示“向申请”时用apply to；表示“为申请”时用apply for。was为过去时，apply动作发生在was之前，因此用过去完成时。27He is not_a condition to make a long trip.Ain Bon Cat Dfor答案A解析句意：他的健康状
27、况不佳，不适于长途旅行。in a condition身体健康，符合题意。on.condition按条件。28It sounded like a good idea，but_it didnt work.Ain theory Bin practice Cin public Din private答案B解析句意：这个主意听起来不错，但实际上行不通。in practice实际上，实践上，符合题意。in theory理论上；in public公开地；in private私下里。29Do you think the Stars will beat the Bulls?I dont know.But the
28、 fans_them to win wholeheartedly.Ahope Brequire Cprefer Ddemand答案B解析句意：你觉得明星队会打败公牛队吗？我不知道。但球迷们却热切地要求他们赢。由wholeheartedly可以看出fans的心情非常热切；require sb.to do sth.要求某人做某事。demand虽也有“要求”之义，但用于demand of sb.to do sth.结构。30During the class did you notice our teachers hairstyle?No，I only_what he said.Atook on Bt
29、ook up Ctook out Dtook notice of答案D解析句意：上课的时候你注意到我们老师的发型了吗？没有，我只注意了他所讲的内容。take notice of注意到，符合句意。take on承担；呈现；take up开始从事；占据；take out取出，拿出，带出去。31The law was passed_public pressure.Aanswer to Bas reply for Cin response to Din reply答案C解析句意：在公众压力下该法规获得通过。in response to意为“作为的回应”。32Sorry！I just_that youd
30、 want to come.Atake as granted Btake this for granted Ctook that for granted Dtook it for granted答案D解析句意：对不起！我想当然地认为你会愿意来。take it for granted that.认为是理所当然的。33We live too far from the city to get strong television_.Asigns Bmarks Csignals Dinformation答案C解析句意：我们住的地方离城里太远，收不到清晰的电视信号。sign迹象，标志；mark记号；分数；
31、signal信号，记号；television signals电视信号，符合题意；information信息。34From the_look of the boys，I found they were_.Asatisfying；satisfied Bsatisfying；satisfyingCsatisfied；satisfied Dsatisfied；satisfying答案C解析句意：从孩子们满意的表情上，我看得出来他们是满意的。由句意看，第一空表示孩子们“满意的表情”，而非“令人满意的表情”，因此第一空应用过去分词形式；第二空表示“孩子们是满意的”，故也应用过去分词。35Did you w
32、atch the basketball match yesterday?Yes，I did.You know，my brother _ in the match.Ais playing Bwas playing Chas played Dhad played答案B解析句意：你看昨天那场篮球赛了吗？是的，看了。你知道的，我弟弟也参加了比赛。比赛中“我弟弟在打篮球”是过去某时正在进行的动作，故用过去进行时。第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Many years ago，when I wa

37、w I would，but I wanted to repay his kindness，so I wholeheartedly promised I would.36A.required Bconsidered Csuggested Dexpected答案A解析本题根据事情发生在加油站，肯定是汽车“需要”加油，其他选项与故事意思不符。37A.bag Bwallet Chat Dphone答案B解析根据下文“.I had lost my wallet.”可知是把钱包放在了保险杠上了。38A.flew Bwalked Cdrove Dtook答案C解析由于作者驾驶着汽车，所以应该是drive o
38、ff“开车离开”。39A.see Bwatch Cobserve Dnotice答案D解析根据句意“在我还没有来得及注意钱包丢了的时候，就有人打来电话了”，所以答案为notice。40A.if Bwhy Chow Dwhere答案A解析捡到钱包者问我“是否”丢了钱包。41A.disappointment Bpuzzle Chorror Danger答案C解析发现自己的钱包确实丢失，肯定非常“震惊”。42A.look out Bget in Cpay for Dpick up答案D解析根据下文提到的，作者去拿钱包，说明好心人打电话告诉作者去拿钱包。look out往外看；get in买进；pay
39、 for付钱；pick up取回。43A.around Bat Cinto Don答案C解析pull into把车开进；pull around拖来拖去；pull at用力拉；pull on继续拉。只有选项C与故事情节最吻合。表示作者把车开进拾到钱包的人的车道。44A.turning Bgoing Clooking Dleading答案D解析一个斜坡通往一座房子，lead to正是这个含义。45A.easily Bgently Ccomfortable Ddifficultly答案A 解析看到这种状况作者认为这个残疾人想从车上下来是很不容易的。前面用了no way“决不”，只能用easily，构
40、成否定句。46A.street Bcar Cwheelchair Dvan答案A解析钱包肯定是掉在地上了，从地上把钱包捡起来。47A.sit Bbring Ctake Dget答案D解析残疾人要想活动需从车上进入轮椅，再利用轮椅的升降功能才能拣起地上的东西。这一步骤表明他行动的艰难。get in进入。48A.hold Bremove Clower Draise答案C解析根据下文“要把钱包捡起来”可知是要把座位降低，故用lower。49A.moved Binterested Csatisfied Dworried答案A解析此处形容作者想像到残疾人为自己捡钱包是如此艰难而被感动。50A.appre
41、ciated Brewarded Cpraised Dthanked答案D解析从上下文的逻辑上推理应该是表示感谢。51A.then Bthough Csuddenly Dinstead答案B解析though在这里是副词，表示“虽然，可是”，虽然感谢了很多次，不知如何做好了。属于一种情况的转折，不表示时间或因果。52A.for Bwhile Cunti l Dafter答案B解析虽然用给他钱的方式感谢可能是对他的“侮辱”，然而我真想给他点什么东西，while在本句中表示“转折”。53A.concern Bpatience Cgenerosity Dkindness答案D解析根据下文“.repay
42、 his kindness.”可知答案。54A.certain Bcareful Cpatient Dcalm答案A解析当对方让他继续做好事回报他时，作者答应“一定去做”。certain表作者的承诺。55A.asking Bpromising Cfollowing Dfinding答案B解析结合上文I said I would，这就是承诺，所以此处说“(即使)没有向他承诺，我也会做好事的”。其他与故事情节联系不密切。第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。ASports shoes t

52、dhood Overweight答案A解析主旨大意题。文章重在讲述这种鞋的妙用，把运动与看电视的时间联系起来，以达到让孩子减肥的目的。A项准确、生动地概括了文章内容。D项为最大干扰项，此种鞋不是阻止孩子肥胖(太绝对)，而是通过这种有趣的方式让孩子乐意去减肥。 BI am a writer.I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion，a visual image，a complex idea，or a simple truth.Lan
