2、o help Dto have helped解析:本题主要考查非谓语动词的用法。根据句意可知句子空白处的非谓语动词作定语,用have sb./sth.to do的结构。答案:C3Im thinking of losing weight these days.Oh,you _ be out of your mind.Youre 50 kilograms at the most!Awill BshouldCmay Dmust解析:考查情态动词的用法。由下句 “youre 50 kilograms at the most”可以推断出来,由此可知,“你还减肥,你肯定是疯了”。答案:D4Why are
3、they so quiet at table?Let me have a look.Oh,they are accustomed _ at meals.Ato talk Bto not talkCto talking Dto not talking解析:考查固定搭配。be accustomed to结构中的to为介词,因此后接名词或动名词,动名词的否定式用not doing。答案:D5When are you leaving tomorrow morning?My plane _ at six.Atook off Bis about to take offCtakes off Dwill ta
4、ke off解析:按照时间表将要发生的事情,常用一般现在时态表示将来。答语句意:飞机6点起飞。答案:C6Not until Mr.Smith came to China _ what kind of a country she is from.Adidnt he know Bhad he knownChadnt he known Ddid he know解析:not until在句首,主句要部分倒装。句意:直到他来到中国,Mr.Smith才意识到她来自哪个国家。答案:D7I failed again.I wish I_ harder.But you _.Ahad worked;hadnt Bw
5、orked;dontChad worked;didnt Dworked;didnt解析:第一空表示与过去事实相反的愿望,所以用过去完成时态表虚拟语气。第二空说明过去的事实,用一般过去时态。句意:我又失败了。我真该努力学习。但是你没有哇。答案:C8Id like a pen which _ well.Will this one _?Awrites;do Bwrites;workCis written;do Dis written;work解析:此处write作不及物动词,表事物的性质,类似词:sell,wash等。第二句用do来代替上句的write well。句意:我很想有一支好写的笔。这只笔如
6、何?答案:A9Now that we _ all the money,its no use turning on me and saying its all my fault.Ahad lost BlostChave lost Dlose解析:考查动词的时态。根据句子的意思,表示发生在过去的动作对现在所产生的影响,所以应该用现在完成时。此句的意思是“由于我把所有的钱都丢失了,所以再开始说是我的过错也就没有意义了”。答案:C10A harmonious society is like a symphony orchestraeach person contributes a small soun
7、d,but when _ with other sounds,it becomes beautiful music.Acombining Bbeing combinedCcombined Dto be combined解析:考查非谓语动词。combine与其逻辑主语a small sound之间是被动关系when后省略it is,因此C项符合。答案:C11Im thinking of the test tomorrow.Im afraid I cant pass this time._!Im sure youll make it.AGo ahead BGood luckCNo problem
8、DCheer up解析:对话的一方担心不能通过考试,另一方去安慰。答语句意:振作起来,我肯定你能通过。答案:D12Has the football match just started?Just started?It must be clear who _ by now.Ais winning BwinsChas won Dwould win解析:句意:足球赛刚刚开始吗?刚刚开始?到现在为止谁要获胜一定很明朗了。此处是现在进行时表示“即将”。答案:A13Is this the computer you wish to _?Ahave it repaired Brepair itChave re
9、paired it Dhave repaired解析:have sth.done表示“找人干某事”,结构中的宾语和主语都不是动作的发出者。you wish to have repaired是省略了that的定语从句,修饰先行词computer,其中that作了have的宾语。句意:这就是你想找人修的那台计算机吗?答案:D14Her sister has become a lawyer,_ she wanted to be.Awho BthatCwhat Dwhich解析:which引导的是定语从句,在从句中作表语代表lawyer这一“职业”。答案:D15_ you think will mak
