20、You cant say youve been to Washington D. C. if you havent seen the White House. Not every American president lives there. Though the Executive Mansion was begun in 1792 under the direction of George Washington, the structure was not completed until 1800, so ironically Washington never called it home
21、. The White House is open to the public on weekdays from 10 am until noon. The building was torched by British troops in 1814, during the War of 1812, and the structural damage caused by the fire was repaired, but the sandstone walls outside were still black from the fire.

24、事。sense和pleasure此处都作可数名词且表示泛指，故前面用不定冠词。22I stayed up late last night and _ Im badly in need of now is a good sleep.Athat BwhenCwhat Dwhere解析：选C分析句子结构可知，in need of缺少宾语，用_Im badly in need of now作主语，故用what引导主语从句。23How was the movie last night?Oh, it was _ it lived up to all our expectations.Aviolent Bm
25、odernCdisgusting Dawesome解析：选D根据“it lived up to all our expectations”可知，这部电影相当不错。awesome“极好的”，符合语境。violent“暴力的”；modern“现代的”；disgusting“令人不快的”。24Tom got nothing in_ for his kindness, _ made him very sad.Aaward; as Breward; whichCprize; which Dmedal; as解析：选B句意：汤姆的好心没有得到任何回报，这使他非常伤心。in reward for为固定搭配，
26、意思是“作为的报酬”；which在此引导非限制性定语从句，代替前面整个句子的内容并在从句中作主语。as引导非限制性定语从句，表示“正如，就像”，与语境不符。25All of a sudden, we heard the noise of a gun, and _， flying like the wind.Arushed a horse out Bout a horse rushedCrushed out a horse Dout rushed a horse解析：选D当表示方向的副词out, in, away, up, down, off等位于句首时，若主语是名词，句子采用完全倒装结构。26
27、The summer camp was attended by around two hundred children, _ in age from seven to fourteen.Ato range BrangedCranging Dbeing ranged解析：选C句意：大约200个孩子参加了这次夏令营，年龄从七岁到十四岁不等。children与range是逻辑上的主动关系，故用v.ing形式作后置定语。27We _ this oil painting together, but why didnt you call me and let me have a go?Ashould cr
28、eate Bmight createCcould have created Dmust have created解析：选C句意：我们本可以一起来完成这幅油画的，可是，你为什么不给我打电话让我试一试呢？由but和didnt可知此处是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，故选C项。28It is in Qingdao_ youre going to pay a visit to_ this kind of washing machine is produced.A/; that Bwhere; whichC/; where Dthat; which解析：选A句意：这种洗衣机就是在你要去参观的青岛制造的。分析结
29、构可知，_ youre going to pay a visit to为定语从句，修饰Qingdao，从句缺少宾语，用that/which引导，亦可省去；第二个空则为强调句的that，强调地点状语in Qingdao。故A项正确。29What did Mother say just now?She asked you to have your dresses all ready and _ on the bed.Alay them out Btry them outCcut them out Dleave them out解析：选A根据语境可知母亲让“我”把连衣裙全都准备好并摊开放在床上。la
30、y out“铺开，展开”，符合语境。try out“试验”；cut out“切去，删去”；leave out“省略，遗漏”。30Since you have committed yourself to _ care of your friends son, you should do your best.Atake BtakingCbeing taken Dbe taken解析：选B当commit作“答应，承诺”讲时，常用于commit oneself to doing sth.结构。31(辽宁高考)Leave your key with your neighbor _ you lock yo
31、urself out one day. Aas long as Beven thoughCin case Das if 解析：选C句意：把你的钥匙留给你的邻居，以防有一天你把自己锁在外面了。as long as“只要”；even though“尽管”；in case“以防”；as if“好像”。所以选C。32Look, its raining so heavily. Im tired of this weather._.ASo do I BSo am ICSo I do DSo I am解析：选B当表示前面所说的肯定的情况也适用于后者时，常用“Sobe动词/助动词/情态动词主语”结构；再根据“
32、Im tired of this weather”可知选B项。33Mr.Reed, with his wife and two kids, _ the US for Christmas, but they havent decided when to set off.Ais returning to Bare returning toChas returned to Dhave returned to解析：选A主语后面跟有with短语时，谓语动词的单复数形式与with短语前的主语一致，故谓语动词用单数形式，排除B、D两项；由语境“they havent decided when to set
33、off”可知，这里用现在进行时表示将来。34We didnt think Jim could cover the distance in a quarter of an hour. _， he succeeded in doing it.AOtherwise BBesidesCAnyway DHowever解析：选D句意：我们认为吉姆不可能在一刻钟内走完那段距离，但他却成功做到了这一点。however“然而，可是”，符合句意。otherwise“否则，不然”；besides“此外，而且”；anyway“无论如何，总之”。35As her mother entered the room, she
34、 was scared by a _ of disorder what a mess!Asight BsceneryCview Dscene解析：选D句意：当她妈妈进入房间时，她被那凌乱的场面给吓着了真乱！四个选项都表示“景色”，但是指“场面”时只能用scene。故D项正确。第二节：完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but youd never know it.
