2、hquake.A.killed B.is killedC.was killed D.was killing答案C解析be killed为系表结构，指在意外事故中死亡，根据语境应用一般过去时。故C项正确。3.Have you moved into the new house?Not yet，the rooms .A.are being painted B.are paintingC.are painted D.are being painting答案A解析the rooms 与paint之间是被动关系，由语境可知应使用现在进行时的被动语态。4.Do you have any problems i
3、f you this job?Well，Im thinking about the salary.A.offer B.will offerC.are offered D.will be offered答案C解析考查动词语态的应用。根据句子语境“如果给你这份工作”可知须用被动语态；再根据英语习惯，条件状语从句中，用一般现在时表将来，于是答案选C项。5.I promise that this matter next week.A.will be taken careB.will take care ofC.will take good careD.will be taken care of答案D解
4、析take care of是固定搭配，不能拆开；take care of和this matter是动宾关系，由此两点可知D项正确。6.The old teacher ought by his students and fellow teachers.A.to be respected B.be respectedC.to respect D.respected答案A解析本题考查动词的时态及语态。ought to应该，首先排除B、D两项；the old teacher与respect之间为被动关系，故正确答案为A项。7.Id like a pen which well.Will this one

6、起来像诗歌。did，was，said用了过去时，决定sound要用过去时，sound是系动词，不能用于被动语态。一般来说，不及物动词、表静态的及物动词不能用于被动语态。9.It is said that the old coins under the earth for about 100 years by the time they were discovered.A.had buried B.had been buriedC.buried D.were buried答案B解析动词bury与主语是被动关系，从时间状语可知此处表示过去的过去，用过去完成时。所以选B项。10.All the pr
7、eparations for the task and were ready to start.A.completedB.completeC.had been completedD.have been completed答案D解析表示已发生的动作对现在造成的影响，故用现在完成时。又因为complete与preparations之间为动宾关系，故D项正确。11.Eshopping，when properly ，can save us a lot of time and energy.Yes.Previous this，we had to search shop after shop，only t
8、ired and disappointed.A.being done；to；to be B.doing；/；beingC.doing；/；to be D.done；to；to be答案D解析句意为：如果我们恰当进行网上购物的话，它可以给我们节省很多时间和精力。是的，在这以前，我们不得不对商店挨个进行查找，结果是又累又失望。第一个空用过去分词done，与主语是被动关系；第二个空用介词to，构成短语previous to.，表示“在之前”；第三个空用动词不定式表示出乎意料的结果。12.How long in this company?Since 2002.A.were you employedB.
9、are you employedC.have you been employedD.had you been employed答案C解析考查时态。根据答语Since 2002可知要用现在完成时，所以选C项。13.She is very shy and she is not used to in front of others.A.praise B.praisingC.being praised D.be praised答案C解析be used to习惯于，to是介词，后跟名词或动名词；she与praise之间是被动关系，故答案为C项。14.Rainforests and burned at s
10、uch a speed that they will disappear from the earth in the near future.A.cut B.are cutC.are being cut D.had been cut答案C解析句意为：(热带)雨林正在以这种速度被砍伐和焚烧以致于在不久的将来就要从地球上消失。叙述现在热带雨林的状况，用一般现在时，rainforests与cut和burn之间是被动关系，故选C项。15.The moment the 30th Olympic Games open，the whole world cheered.A.declared B.have be
11、en declaredC.have declared D.were declared答案D解析the moment引导的时间状语从句，主语the 30th Olympic Games与谓语是被动关系，所以首先可排除A、C两项。而B项是现在完成时，不符合题干的时态要求。.阅读理解AJimmy is an automotive mechanic，but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart，but always feared applying for a new job.One day，he gathered up all his
