1、Unit 4Earthquakes.单项填空1Having heard the unfair conditions，the angry man_from the chair，_his voice.Araised；raising Brose；raisingCraised；rising Drose；rising解析句意：听到不公平的条件，那人很生气，大声喊着从椅子上站起来。前一空应该用不及物动词rise。第二空应该用及物动词raise，而且是现在分词形式，表示伴随状况。答案B2The American Civil War_four years_the North won.Awas lasted；u
2、ntil Bhad lasted；beforeCwere lasted；when Dlasted；after解析句意：美国内战持续了四年，最后北方获得了胜利。last没有被动式；由win用过去时可推知前面的last应该用过去完成时。答案B3The people there were greatly _ to see everything changed overnight.Apleased BshockedCinterested Dmoved解析 句意：看到在一夜之间所有的一切都改变了，那里的人们感到非常震惊。根据句意，B项为正确答案，shock意思是“(使)震惊；震动”。答案 B4In th
3、e big fire all their houses were_，so they had to build new ones.Ahurt BinjuredCdestroyed Dharmed解析句意：他们所有的房子都在大火中被烧毁了，所以不得不建造新的了。根据后半句句意可知空处要表达“烧毁”的含义，故选C。答案C5Threefourths of the surface of the earth_covered by water.Ais Bare Cwere Dhas been解析“分数of名词(代词)”作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于其后名词(代词)的形式和意义。答案A6A bomb_two
4、 buildings and caused many deaths.Adestroyed BdamagedCharmed Dinjured解析destroy指彻底的、不能或很难修复的“破坏”，程度较深；damage是程度较小的“破坏”。harm强调“有危害”；injure指“损伤，损害”，从后面的many deaths可知，程度较深，故选A项。答案A7I got caught in the rain and my suit_.Ahas ruined Bhad ruinedChas been ruined Dhad been ruined解析 句意：我淋雨了，我的衣服被毁坏了。此题是由两个并列句
5、组成，第一个句子用一般过去时说明过去发生的事情，第二个句子强调过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时；又因此处my suit与ruin之间存在着被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动式。答案 C8I burst out_when hearing the amusing story.Alaugh Bto laughClaughter Dlaughing解析burst out doing“突然起来”，为固定搭配形式。答案D9_in his study，he didnt know that all the others had left.ABurying BBuriedCBuried himself
6、DHe buried解析句意：他专心于学习，因此不知道其他人都走了。空白处与in his study一起在句中作原因状语。答案B10_ children whose parents had died in the earthquake _ sent to live with families in other cities.AA great number of；wasBA great number of；wereCThe great number of；wasDThe great number of；were解析 the number of后面接复数名词表示“的数量”，它的谓语动词一般是be动
7、词，表语则常是表示数量的词。在本句中这种结构明显不符合句意，因此排除C、D两项。另外，a number of接复数名词作主语，其谓语动词应用复数形式，故此题应选B项。句意：许许多多在地震中失去父母的孩子被其他城市的家庭收养了。答案 B11The meeting_at six oclock in the afternoon.Aat an end Bcame to an endCbrought to an end Dput to an end解析A项为介词短语，不能充当谓语；C、D两项中brought与put为及物动词，后需要加宾语，因此只有B项正确。come to an end“结束；终结”。答
8、案B12She _ into tears the moment she knew she had failed that exam.Aburst BbrokeCshocked Dcried解析 burst into后接名词，表示“突然(进入某种状态或发生某种情况)”；break into闯入，破门而入，后面接地点名词。而shock与cry不和into搭配。句意：一得知没有通过那次考试，她就哭了起来。答案 A13Broadly speaking，I would agree with Shirley，though not_.Aentirely BwidelyCextremely Deventual
9、ly解析考查副词词义的辨析。entirely完全地；widely广泛地；extremely极端地；eventually最后。句意：我大体上同意Shirley的话，尽管不完全同意。答案A14Jack fell off the bike yesterday，but he is all right now.What a lucky dog！He_himself badly.Ashould injure Bmight injureCshould have injured Dcould have injured解析考查情态动词的用法。D项意为“可能会”；should have done意为“过去”应该干
10、某事而没有干。答案D15Dont touch_live wire，or you will get_shock.Athe；the Bthe；aC/；a D/；/解析考查冠词的使用。第一空由形容词live可知应表示特指，即“ 通电的电线”，应用定冠词the；第二空get a shock被电击，为短语搭配。答案B.阅读理解“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm.A new book written by a selfdescribed Chinese descent(血统)on her superstrict parentingBattle Hymn o

19、AShe is an easygoing woman.BShe is an assistant professor.CShe is a demanding parent.DShe is a cruel teacher.解析推理判断题。由文章第二段“In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.”及其后她对孩子的苛刻要求的“几个不准”、孩子自己的“几个不能”以及成绩总是A等，足见其为一个“苛求的”人，即demanding。答案C2Which of the following are
