1、考前冲刺卷(四)第卷第一部分听力(略)第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。21The driver was at _ loss when _ word came that he was forbidden to drive because of speeding.Aa;the B/;/Cthe;the Da;/答案D解析第一空为固定搭配at a loss,意为“不知所措”;第二空word此处意为“消息”,不可数名词,因此前面不加任何冠词。句意为:当这位驾驶员得知他由于超速而被禁驾
2、的消息时,不知所措。22There is not much time left,but_we must get there on time.Asomehow BsomewhatChowever Danyhow答案D解析句意为:剩下的时间不多了,但无论如何,我们也必须按时到达那里。anyhow无论如何,不管怎样;somehow以某种方式,通过某种途径;somewhat稍微,有点。根据题意选D项。23Look!The ground is wet.It must have rained last night,_?Ahasnt it Bdidnt itCmustnt it Dhadnt it答案B解析
3、由last night及must have rained可知此处是对过去情况的猜测,下雨是过去的事实,所以反意疑问句的助动词用did,并且根据前肯后否的原则,反意疑问句应该用否定形式,C项正确。句意为:看!地面湿了,昨天晚上肯定下雨了,不是吗?24_ one and a half months enough for the project to be finished?I am afraid not.The professor is ill and only after he recovers _ go on with it. AIs;he can BAre;he canCIs;can he
4、DAre;can he答案C解析由主语one and a half months可知,谓语动词应该用单数,将其看成一个整体,所以第一空用is;第二空and连接的并列句的第二句是only位于句首,应该用部分倒装,所以用can he,故C项正确。句意为:一个半月的时间可以完成这个项目吗?我觉得恐怕不够,教授生病了,只有等他康复之后才能继续工作。25Due to the widespread _ of this medical technology,more diseases can be discovered and treated at an early stage.Apresentation
5、BapplicationCqualification Dappreciation答案B解析句意为:由于这种医药技术的广泛应用,越来越多的疾病可以及早发现并且治愈了。所以此空为“应用”的意思,故B项正确。presentation展示,呈现;qualification资格;appreciation欣赏,感激。26What do you think of the 2013 Spring Festival Party?Well,great!But I dont think much of _ held last year.Athe one BitCone Dwhich答案A解析由于此空后面只有held
6、这个动词,可知后面不是从句,因此which不可选;“去年的春晚”是特指,所以the one正确。it特指“它”,不合题意;one意为“一个”,是泛指,不合题意。27The traffic rule says young children under the age of four and _ less than 40 pounds must be in a child safety seat.Abeing weighed Bto weighCweighed Dweighing答案D解析此处weigh为“重量为;重(多少)”的意思,作young children的后置定语,且与其关系为主动,用w
7、eighing,故D项正确。句意为:交通规则规定四岁以下并且体重少于40磅的儿童必须放于儿童安全座椅上。28I wonder what makes you a successful manager.I _ as a waiter for five years,which contributes a lot to my todays work.Aserve Bhave servedChad served Dserved答案D解析由第一句“我想知道是什么让你成为一位成功的经理”得知对方现在已经是一名经理,那么下一句的作为一名服务员应该是过去的事情,所以应该用一般过去时,故D项正确。29_,as l
8、ong as Im with nature,I dont care.AHowever tough the journey isBWhatever tough the journey isCHowever the journey is toughDWhatever the journey is tough答案A解析考查让步状语从句。howeveradj.a/an单数名词whatevera/anadj.单数名词,故A项正确。30It was_that many people were injured in the accident.Areported Bto be reportedCreporti
9、ng Dreport答案A解析It is/was reported that.为固定句式,意为“据报道”,it为形式主语,that引导的主语从句是真正的主语。31 Its no easy task to catch a ticket on a website that receives 1 billion clicks daily.I cant agree with you more.There _ be errors for every single step.Ashould BmustCwill Dcan答案D解析此处表示“有时会”这个意思,用can可以表示理论上会发生的事,用于肯定句中。
10、此句意为:每一步都可能存在错误。should应该,竟然;must肯定,必须;will将要,均不符合句意。32How dangerous it was!Yes,but for the passerbys quick action,the girl _.Awas drownedBcould have been drownedChad drownedDshould be drowned答案B解析由but for后面的内容可知,“要不是那个路人的动作迅速,小女孩可能已经溺水身亡了”说明此处是对过去事情的虚拟,而且表示“可能”的意思,所以用could have done,根据句意应该用被动语态,所以B项
11、正确。33Do you have anything to say for yourselves?Yes,there is one point_ we must insist on.Awhy BwhereChow D/答案D解析先行词one point在从句中作insist on的宾语,所以可以用which/that/不填,故D项正确。why在句中作原因状语;where作地点状语;how不能引导定语从句。34Chery,a car maker in Anhui province,sold nearly 700,000 units in 2011,with the total value _ it
12、 was in 2005.Amore than three times whatBthree more times than thatCover three times than whatDover three times of that答案A解析是的三倍多,用more than three times和over three times都可以,再看从句部分可知,was后面缺少表语,因此用what,所以A项正确。句意为:Chery,安徽省的汽车制造商,在2011年出售了近70万的汽车,总价值是2005年的三倍多。35I finally got a photo with my favorite m

27、 that it will be easier for you to spot the constellations when you are using your telescope.Its a good idea to buy a few magazines on astronomy to help you to get familiar with the constellations in the sky and also read a few reviews on the different types of telescopes in the market.This will hel
28、p you gather all the information that is out there regarding telescopes and what people have to say about them.Its advisable to go in for a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) before you buy your first telescope so that you can get used to spotting constellations before your view of the sky is narrowed down.T
29、his will also help you know if you really want to get involved in astronomy.Many people buy a costly telescope and then discover that theyre not actually interested in astronomy.Experience has no substitute,and there certainly is nothing better than using different telescopes before you buy one.This
30、 will help you to get the feel of all the types of telescopes and you will know which one is easier for you to use.A large aperture(光圈) refractor(折射) may give you an excellent image but you may not be able to keep a steady hand while using it resulting in a blurry image.There are three types of tele
31、scopes that are available in the market.If you want a more elegant looking telescope you can always choose to buy a fine brass telescope.Its good to become acquainted with each type before going for the plunge of a first telescope.The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope,which uses len
32、ses to gather light to a focus at the eye piece.The use of lenses helps the telescope have a superior image.A refracting telescope is not as portable as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture.The second type of telescope is the Reflector.Made by Sir I
33、saac Newton,this telescope functions by focusing the light back at the front of the tube,which is where the eyepiece sits,by using parabolic(抛物线的) mirrors and another smaller mirror to deflect the light.There is no added color in the image caused by refraction of light since this telescope does not
34、use lenses.These are the cheapest of all telescopes and are more portable than refractors.56According to the text,a telescope is intended to be bought for _.Agetting experienceBwatching starsCstudying the climateDlearning about a bit of the sky答案B解析推理判断题。在第一段中作者建议买望远镜之前多了解一些天文知识,特别是星座方面的知识,这就说明望远镜的用
35、途是用来观察星星。57What can we learn from Paragraph 2?AOne must know something about astronomy and telescopes.BOne cant buy a telescope without buying several astronomy magazines.COne should check the telescopes in the market and try to find a better one.DOne must be familiar with new information of astrono
36、my and space instruments.答案A解析段落大意题。作者建议在购买望远镜前多了解一些天文知识,并且了解人们对市场上各种望远镜的评价,从而对产品有所了解。58Why does the author advise buying a pair of binoculars first?AThe telescope is too expensive.BThe binoculars are easier to use.CYou may gain plenty of experience in astronomy.DYour view will be narrow by using a
37、pair of binoculars.答案C解析细节理解题。在第三段,作者建议先使用双筒望远镜以获取经验并且确定对观测天文现象是否真的感兴趣。59What do we know about the refracting telescope?AIt looks very elegant.BIt refracts light by an eye piece.CIt has clear images without any lenses.DIt is not convenient to take along for its size.答案D解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A refracting t
38、elescope is not as portable as the other two types.”可知,折射望远镜不如其他两种方便携带。BOne summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City,Calif.,to New Orleans.In the middle of the desert,I came upon a young man standing by the roadside.He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand.I drove right
39、by him.There was a time in the country when youd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need.Now you are a fool for helping.With gangs,drug addicts,murderers,rapists,thieves lurking everywhere,“I dont want to get involved” has become a national motto.Several states later I was still think
40、ing about the hitchhiker.Leaving him standed in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.Does anyone stop any more?I wondered.I recalled Blanche DuBoiss famous line:“I have always depended on the k
41、indness of strangers”Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days?One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money,relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans.What kind of Americans would he find?Who would feed him,shelter him,carry
42、 him down the road?The idea intrigued me.The week I turned 37,I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life.So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar.I would only accept offers of rides,food
43、and a place to rest my head.My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina,a symbol of all the fears Id have to conquer during the trip.I rose early on September 6,1994,and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing veh
44、icles:“America”For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states.As I traveled,folks were always warning me about someplace else.In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming;in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice as in Iowa.Yet I was treated with
45、 kindness everywhere I went.I was amazed by peoples readiness to help a stranger,even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.60Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?ABecause he failed to notice this man.BBecause he was driving too fast.CBecaus
46、e he thought the young man didnt need help.DBecause he was afraid of being tricked.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句可知,如今人们不想因为帮助陌生人而陷入麻烦,作者正是受这种思想的影响,而没有停车。61What was it that made the author upset?ALeaving the young man alone in the desert.BBeing considered a fool.CMaking the decision of not offering help so
47、easily.DKeeping thinking about the young man.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.”可知,使作者感到不安的是自己怎么会那么轻易就作出了不伸出援手的决定。62The author decided to travel without a penny in order to _.Afind out how long he could survive without helpBgo through the great difficult
48、y in surviving unexpected environmentCfind out whether strangers would offer help to himDfigure out how strangers thought of his plan答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后三句的内容以及第四段“The idea intrigued me.”可知,作者决定进行这次“身无分文”的旅行是想看看是否会有陌生人帮助他,因此选择C项。63The following part might probably _.Adescribe how he fooled the stran
49、gersBdescribe how strangers went out their way to help himCexplain why people refused to help strangersDexplain how he overcame his difficulties on the way答案B解析篇章结构题。根据最后一段的描述可知,作者无论到哪儿都会得到帮助,甚至一些人宁愿违背自己的利益,也会去帮助他,因此下文作者会具体说明人们是如何尽力帮助他的。CLife in space will certainly take some getting used to!But the
50、 space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possiblethe modules(舱) are roomy,bright,and kept at a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit.Its important the crew members are comfortable because theyll be busy aboard the station.In a typical workday,crew members will spend 14 hour
51、s working and exercising,1.5 hours preparing and eating meals,and 8.5 hours sleeping.Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station:FoodCome mealtime,astronauts will have a special dining kitchen.Space food just keeps getting betterand more like food we enjoy here on Earth.In early spac

53、private room.With no gravity,theyll need to tie themselves to their beds,or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep,but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!ExerciseYou might not think it,but exercise is even more import
54、ant on the station than it is on Earth.There is not much gravity in space.Astronauts dont stand up,sit down or walk in space,so their muscles and bones dont have to work muchand this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this,astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes,ro

56、d space suit is required for space walks.It has to withstand(经受住) flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes.It can range from 120 degrees below Fahrenheit in the shadow of the station to 250 degrees in the hot sun.Personal CleanlinessSimple tasks like brushing your t
57、eeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesnt flow in a streamit suspends in a bubble!Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers,shampoo,and wash offthen a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water.And how do you go to the bathroom in space?With
58、a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to dispose of waste.64The facts about life in space are all mentioned EXCEPT _.Aclothing BentertainmentCsleep Dexercise答案B解析细节理解题。通读全文可知,第三段是关于sleep;第四段是关于exercise;第五段是关于clothing,文章并未提到宇航员的娱乐活动(entertainment),故答案为B项。65What do we know abou
59、t space food from the text?AAstronauts could eat apples in space in the past.BAstronauts eat only fruit,vegetables and ice cream now.CFresh food isnt available to astronauts in space.DSpace food is getting better now than before.答案D解析推理判断题。第二段第二句指出,太空食物越来越像我们在地球上所吃的食物,接着指出在过去宇航员只能吃冻干的食物,但现在能吃水果蔬菜等平常
60、食物。由此判断,太空食物比过去好了。66Why is exercise more important in space than on earth?AIt can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.BIt can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.CAstronauts lives are more important in space than on earth.DIt can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss.答案D解
61、析细节理解题。由第四段第三、四句“.their muscles and bones dont have to work muchand this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this.”可知,由于太空无重力,人不用坐立行走,运动的机会极少,容易给人的肌肉及骨头造成危害,因此宇航员必须每天锻炼两小时,由此可知正确答案为D项。67What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing”?AThe temperature is quite different in
62、different places in space.BAstronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.CAstronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.DAstronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“It can range from 120 degrees below Fahrenheit in the shadow of the
63、station to 250 degrees in the hot sun.”可知,太空中不同地方温差是非常大的,故答案为A项。DThe aims of the Illustrators(插图画家的) Exhibition,staged as part of the Bologna Childrens Book Fair,organized by BolognaFiere and held from 23 to 26 December,are to bring illustrators and publishers together and to promote illustrators an

77、 their wearer has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of a television have been devised in the UK.The shoesnamed Square Eyescontain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken within a day.A wireless transmitter passes the informatio
78、n to a receiver connected to a television,and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves,based on the days efforts.“The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers,”says Gillian Swan,who developed Square Eyes as a fin
79、al year design project at Brunel University in London,UK.“We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,”she says.“And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”Once a child has used up his daily allowance gained through exercise,the television automatically switches off.And fu
80、rther time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both.Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.So,every 100
81、steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equal precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers(计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement.Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoe has been
82、 built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat.“It is possible,but it would be a lot of effort,”she says.“That was one of my main design considerations.”72According to Swan,the purpose of her design project is to _.Akeep a record of the steps of the wearerBdeal with overweight among teenagersCenabl
