27、个及物动词，且和person之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。2B考查非谓语动词。be employed in doing sth.忙着做某事，固定短语。3B考查非谓语动词。这里表示(我)回首过去，用现在分词。句意：回首过去，我可以看到过去那些可怕的事情把我塑造成了今天的我。4C考查非谓语动词。原句补充完整为：Mao Zedong compare the youth to the rising sun at 8 or 9 a. m，he；主谓之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。5B考查非谓语动词。be surrounded with由环绕。surrounded with a high wall a
28、nd thick treeswhich is surrounded with a high wall and thick trees，这里是过去分词短语作后置定语。6A考查介词短语辨析。out of order出故障了，可根据“你必须让人检查一下”判断。out of control失去控制，不符合句意。7D考查短语辨析。now and then意为“有时，偶尔”。句意：两年前安娜离开家乡以来我就没见过她，但我们的确有时发电子邮件保持联系。here and there到处；sooner or later迟早；at one time一度，曾经。8D考查形容词辨析。be convenient for
29、是一个固定短语，意为“对来说做某事是方便的”。9B考查非谓语动词。分词短语作非限制性定语，排除A；逻辑主语the performance与intend是被动关系，故用过去分词。10C考查动词短语辨析。句意：Jess的丈夫Bill死后，她很难过，她的朋友帮她度过了那糟糕的前几周。break through打破的僵局；break down分解；身体垮掉；get through完成；度过；get rid of摆脱。11D考查状语从句。in case，for fear that引导目的状语从句词义为“以防，以免”。须指出的是in case引导的从句，谓语动词用一般现在时表示将来时。for fear t
30、hat其从句谓语动词前需有may，might，will或would等情态动词。12B考查非谓语动词。动词bear后跟动名词形式作宾语；且此处哭的原因是无法忍受“被取笑”，he和make fun of之间为被动关系，故应该用过去分词形式。13C考查动词的时态。by the time 后的从句多用一般现在时和一般过去时。根据该题的语境可以断定答案为C。14A考查倒装。nowhere置于句首时，要用部分倒装结构。根据句意应是“到现在你也不能在什么地方看到这样美丽的宫殿，”所以用一般现在时，故选A。15B考查动词短语辨析。句意：他们正在加宽这座大桥以加快交通流量。speed up 加速，加快；put
31、off 延期，推迟；turn on 打开；work out 解决，计算出，制定出，锻炼，结果是。.A本文是人物介绍。全文介绍了黑人设计师本杰明拜内克。16D 推理判断题。全文叙述了他做的两件事制造了美国最早的一批钟中的一个；设计了美国首都华盛顿。显然前者不如后者名声大。尤其结合分析If it werent for Benjamin Banneker，Washington DC might look very different from the way it does today.可判断选 D。17B细节理解题。从The clock made him famous及下句得此答案。A项有一定干扰
32、性，people应改为his neighbors。 18B 推理判断题。从第三段Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Bannekers ability to settle hard problems.得知，杰斐逊欣赏拜内克的聪明才智。 19A推理判断题。从最后两段我们知道，在LEnfant 带走所有的设计图以后，Banneker仍能记住设计图的内容，因此我们说他有很好的记忆力。 20B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段Later, LEnfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel
33、, and went back to France in anger.可判断选B。B文中报道科学技术的广泛运用。Smart Board, iPods and mobile phones等用于学校课堂；Cosmobot用于治病等。21A 细节理解题。文中第一段第一句讲到Schools are almost all connected to the Internet.几乎所有的学校都与互联网相连接。所以选A。22D 细节理解题。从第二段可知Smart Boards是一种教学设备，能用于投影及教学展示，但没谈到它不容易与计算机连接。23B 词义猜测题。第五段信息he has difficulty m
34、oving his mouth and tongue.表明dyspraxia是一种运动方面的障碍。24C 推理判断题。第六段谈到信息attached to a computer to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles.这表明“Cosmobot”能受计算机控制。25C 推理判断题。最后一段信息讲到research tools in the United States, and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan.
