5、词，不作定语，可排除A项。该题应用the majority of people表示“大多数人”。2.Japan lies_the east of China _the east of Asia.It faces the Pacific_the east.A.in;on;to B.to;in;onC.on;to;on D.to;on;to答案：B提示：该题考查表示位置的介词，使用起来许多学生容易混淆。具体说来，如果一部分在另一部分范围内用in；如果一部分在另一部分范围外用to；如果两部分相邻接壤，则用on。日本在中国范围外的东面、亚洲范围内的东部，作为一个岛国东邻太平洋，所以答案为B。3.It
6、was quiet in the dark street,so there was no one I could _ for help.A.turn over B.turn upC.turn down D.turn to答案：D提示：题意是“黑暗的街上很寂静，所以我找不到可以求助的人”。4.Some people waste food，_ other people havent got enough to eat.A.when B.until C.since D.while答案：D提示：while“而，但”，表示前后意义的转折对比。5.Since the mid-1980s growing n
7、umbers of Asians have settled in New Zealand，and they _ about 60% of the total population.A.take up B.pick up C.make up D.hold up答案：C提示：take up“从事于”；pick up“捡起,收听，偶然学到；用车接”；make up“构成，组成”；hold up“支撑；使停顿，耽搁”。6.Lu Xun is famous _ a great writer _ his great works.A.for;as B.to;for C.as;for D.with;as答案：
8、C提示：be famous后不接with，但可接for/as/to。be famous for意为“因而著名”，for表示原因；be famous as意为“以而著名”，as表示身份，是“作为”之意；be famous to sb.意为“为某人所知”，to是“对于”之意。a great writer是指Lu Xun的身份，his great works指Lu Xun出名的原因，所以答案为C。7.On the other side of the street stand more than 180 houses，_ are in poor condition now.A.of which hal
9、f B.which half ofC.half of them D.of them half答案：A提示：可用half of which引出定语从句，of which也可移至half前。8.We should always _ alive the memory of the hard past.A.keep B.remain C.stay D.hold答案：A提示：keep sth.alive指“使活着；保持”。9. _ of the land in our city _ covered with flowers,trees and grass.A.50 percent;is B.50 per
10、cents;isC.50 percent;are D.50 percents;are答案：A提示：.percent of.短语作主语时，of后面的名词形式决定着谓语动词的单复数。此句中的the land是单数，故谓语动词用单数。10.Will they take _ of that house if we cant reach an agreement with them?A.notice B.holdC.possession D.care答案：C提示：题意是“如果我们达不成协议，他们会占有那所房子吗？”11.The United Kingdom of Great Britain and No
11、rthern Ireland is made _ four parts.A.into B.from C.out of D.up of答案：D提示：make和四个选项都可构成短语。be made into意为“被制成”；be made from/out of意为“由什么原料制成”，均不符合题意。该题应用be made up of，表示英国是由四部分组成的。12.He lives in a house_with trees.A.surrounding B.roundC.surrounded D.around答案：C提示：around和round为介词，意为“围绕；环绕”，其后一般不再接介词短语，况
12、且也不符合句意。surround为动词“围绕；环绕”，与前面的house是动宾关系，所以应用surrounded表示被动。13.With a lot of difficult problems _,the newly-elected president is having a hard time.A.settled B.settlingC.to settle D.being settled答案：C提示：题中所设语境是the newly-elected president is having a hard time，说明新上任的总统正过得艰难，有很多问题有待解决，因此在with复合结构中应由不定
13、式作补语表示未发生的动作。虽然problem与settle是被动关系，但过去分词settled表示完成，即“解决了”，显然不符合句意。14.The famous professor_at the meeting will give us a lecture on English study next week.A.referred B.referred toC.referring D.referring to答案：B提示：该句主语为“The professor”，谓语为will give，refer to作后置定语修饰the famous professor，因为refer to与profes
14、sor是动宾关系，所以应用其过去分词形式作定语。15.Does _ matter if he cant finish the job on time?A.this B.that C.he D.it答案：D提示：it作形式主语。.阅读理解(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending.I tore open the packet.My eyes were fixed on t
