6、ease tell me the answer to this question? _! It is not my style to help people cheat. A. No problemB. No wayC. Not at allD.

7、d. A. that B. what C. which D. how【解析】选B。句意为：尽管这次旅行不尽完美，但我认为我们的付出还是非常值得的。be worth后跟宾语从句，宾语从句中缺少paid的宾语，故用what。5. Its_ that the peace talks have reached an agreement in the end. A. getting overB. getting aroundC. getting onD. getting across【解析】选B。句意为：和平会谈终于达成协议的消息正在传开。get around此处意为“流传；传播”符合题意。get ov

A. repliesB. waysC. answersD. solutions【解析】选D。句意：中国政府仍在寻找各种可能的方法(solutions)来解决就业问题。reply, answer“回答，答复”；way作“方法，方式”讲时，一般不与problem搭配。7. Sorry. At no time _ in this buildin
9、g, sir. A. is smoking permittedB. smoking is permittedC. does smoking permitD. smoking does permit【解析】选A。考查动词语态及倒装句。at no time决不，位于句首时句子要部分倒装；smoking为句子的主语，它与谓语动词permit之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。8. Its a long time_ I last saw you. Yes, and what a pity it is now that it will be a long time _ we see each other a
10、gain. A. before; sinceB. since; whenC. since; beforeD. when; before【解析】选C。第一个空填since, 构成“Its. . . (时间)+since. . . ”结构，表示“自从以来，已有时间了”；第二个空填before, 表示“再过才能”。9.

11、Its really very dangerous. One more step,_ the baby will fall into the well. A. and B. so C. but D. or【解析】选A。考查祈使句+and/or+主句，祈使句可用名词短语代替。句意为：确实非常危险，再走一步，这个小孩就会掉入井中。前后为递进关系，故用and；若为转折关系，则用or。_，I think, and the problem could be settled. A. If you double your effortsB. So long as you keep your spiritsC
12、. A bit more effortsD. Making great efforts【解析】选C。A bit more efforts为Make a bit more efforts的省略形式。D项中的making改为动词原形也正确。11. _ for his action on the playing field, but he is also famous for the things that he does off the playing field. A. Not he is only knownB. Not only is he knownC. Only is he known
13、notD. He is only not known【解析】选B。根据句意可知句中使用了not only. . . but also连接句子。not only位于句首时，not only部分的主谓要进行部分倒装，故选B。12. All of us didnt notice Tom come into the classroom because the light happened to_ at that time. A. give inB. put upC. go outD. switch off【解析】选C。根据句意可知，C、D两项的意思都符合，go out“熄灭”；switch off“关
14、闭，切断（电源）”。但switch off作此意讲时，为及物词组，而此处需要不及物词组，故应选C。13. In our daily life, everyone fails every now and then. It is how you_ that makes a difference. A. reactB. replaceC. relyD. request【解析】选A。考查动词辨析。句意为：在我们的日常生活中，每个人都时时失败，会产生影响的是你怎样反应。react后省略了to it“对失败的反应”。14. I want a room for 20 people to have a bir
15、thday party. Unluckily there is no one_. A. qualifiedB. availableC. standardD. permanent 【解析】选B。考查形容词词义辨析。available“可利用的/可提供的”，常跟在被修饰词的后面。其他三项standard“标准的”，permanent“永久的”，qualified “合格的”，它们作定语多放在被修饰词之前，且与题意不符。15. Is this TV set_ you wish to have_ ? A. the one; repairedB. which; it repairedC. the one
16、; it repairedD. which; repaired【解析】选A。第一空填the one, the one在句中作表语，同时充当先行词；第二空填过去分词repaired, you wish to have repaired为定语从句，have sth. done（让别人做某事）为固定搭配。. 阅读理解 Traffic jam and cities，it seems，go hand in hand.
