3、此处指“没有超人之处，平平常常”，故用ordinary。common强调普遍性；usual强调惯例性；general强调一般情况下，均不符合语境。The pictures _ me of the school days.Aremind BrememberCtell Dinform解析：选A。remind sb.of sth.“使某人想起某事”。remember“记住”；tell“告诉”；inform“通知”，均不符合语境。In many countries in the world，breakfast is a snack(快餐)_ a meal，but the traditional Eng
4、lish breakfast is a full meal.Arather than Bmore thanCother than Dless than解析：选A。前半句句意：在世界上的许多国家，早餐是一顿快餐而不是正餐。rather than而不是，符合句意。more than多于，超过；other than除了；less than少于，不到。It was _ most challenging competition and Lily came _ third.Athe；a Bthe；theCa；the Da；不填解析：选D。考查冠词。形容词、副词最高级前用不定冠词不表最高级意义，而表“非常，
5、很”，a most challenging competition意为“非常有挑战性的竞赛”；当序数词作状语时用零冠词。故选D。The weather so far this year has been worse _Aas we were expected Bas we had expectedCthan we expected Dthan we had expected解析：选C。考查比较级和动词时态。worse是bad的比较级，只能与than连用，因此A、B两项不正确；过去完成时态表示expect发生在过去某个时间之前，而本题并没有过去动作作为时间参照，因此D项也不正确。故选C。By t
6、he end of the 19th century，_ plants had been brought from European countries.Aa good many of Ba great deal ofCa vast variety of Da large amount of解析：选C。考查短语辨析。plants为可数名词复数形式，a vast variety of“多种多样的”，后跟可数名词复数形式；A项为错误表示，正确形式为a good many可数名词复数形式；而B、D两项均意为“许多”，只能修饰不可数名词。故选C。Only after he lost the game
7、_ not following the coachs advice.Adid he regret Bhe regrettedChad the regretted Dhe had regretted解析：选A。考查倒装。only状语置于句首时，主句要部分倒装，结构为：助动词/情态动词/be动词主语谓语。B、D两项为非倒装语序，故排除。而C项为过去完成时，表示regret发生在输比赛之前，不符合题意，故A项为正确答案。倒装句中如涉及谓语动词时态，可先将句子变为陈述句，再作判断。如果待选答案中有过去完成时，则可以先假设过去完成时正确，再看是否符合语境。It is enough if we can m
8、ake full use of _ we have got.Awherever BwhateverCwhichever Dwhoever解析：选B。考查名词性从句。本题从句为make full use of后的宾语从句，且从句中缺少got的宾语，因此填连接代词，而wherever为连接副词，所以A项不正确；根据句意可知，got的宾语应该为物，所以D项也不正确；而whichever只能在明确表明范围时才能使用。故选B。.阅读理解A(2012湖北省部分重点中学高三联考)Cittaslow has discovered China，and it is awarding a little villag
