11、here D. what22. 【考点】定语从句关系代词【答案】B【解析】指人的先行词people在非限制性定语从句中充当主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故选B项。【举一反三】由who引导的定语从句关系代词who只能指人,在从句中作主语或宾语。如:A teacher is a person who passes knowledge to the student.教师是传授知识的人。(关系代词在从句中作主语)The man who can do this work will get 1000 dollars.能够做此工作的人将获得1000美元。(关系代词who在从句中作主语)【难度】一般23.S
12、ophia waited for a reply, but _ came.A. either B. another C. neither D. none23. 【考点】代词辨析neither/ none【答案】D【解析】句意为:Sophia等候答复,但没有任何答复。根据转折连词but可知,此处应用表示否定意义的代词,所以排除A项和B项。neither意为“两者都不”;none意为“三者或三者以上都不”。根据前半句中的“a reply”提示可知,故选D项。【难度】一般24.-Dont worry, Mum. The doctor said it was only the flu.-_! Ill
13、tell Dad theres nothing serious.A. What a relief B. Congratulations C. How surprising D. Im so sorry24. 【考点】交际用语安慰【答案】A【解析】句意为:妈妈,别担心。医生说只是流感。我可以松口气了。我要告诉爸爸没有什么严重的。A项意为“可以松口气了”,符合语境。B项意为“祝贺”;C项意为“多么令人惊讶啊”;D项意为“我很抱歉”。根据句意,应选A项。【难度】一般25.There is little doubt in your mind that he is innocent, _?A. is t
14、hereB. isnt thereC. is heD. isnt he25. 【考点】特殊句式反义问句【答案】A【解析】根据前面there be 句里含有否定意义的词little,所以反意疑问句用肯定形式,其主谓应与陈述部分的主谓保持一致,故选A项。【举一反三】陈述部分如含有”never/hardly/scarcely/seldom/little/few/nobody/nothing”等否定词或半否定词时,这部分应视为否定形式,简短问句就用肯定形式。如:He was hardly twelve then,was he?他当时几乎不到十二岁,是吗?陈述部分含有带”否定”前缀的词,则这部分应看做肯
15、定形式,简短问句就用否定形式。如:she dislikes the way you work,doesnt she?她不喜欢你的工作方式,对吗?【难度】一般26. OK, Ive had enough of it.

16、;run out of意为“用完”。句意为:好了,我已受够了,我放弃。你不能逃避你的责任。根据句意,应选D项。【难度】一般27.The notice came around two in the afternoonthe meeting would be postponed.A. whenB. thatC. whetherD. how27. 【考点】名词性从句-同位语从句【答案】B【解析】句意为:会议将被延期的通知大约下午两点钟来。空格后的句子是解释说明名词the notice,作同位语从句,在从句中不做任何成分,所以用that引导。【举一反三】同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从
17、句。1.同位语从句的功能同位语从句对名词进一步解释,说明名词的具体内容,一般由that引导。如:The kings decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.国王作出的这名囚犯释放的决定让人们大吃一惊。2.同位语在句子中的位置同位语从句有时可以不紧跟在它所说明的名词后面,而是被别的词隔开。如:He got the news from Mary that the sports meeting was put off.他从玛丽那里得知运动会要延期举行。3.同位语从句与定语从句的区别1)定语从句中的th
18、at既代替先行词,同时在从句中作某个成分(主语或宾语),而同位语从句中的that是连词,只起连接主句与从句的作用,不充当句中任何成分。2)定语从句是形容词性的,其功能是修饰先行词,对先行词加以限定,描述它的性质或特征;同位语从句是名词性的,其功能是对名词进行补充说明。如:The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。(第一个that引导的从句是定语从句,that在从句中作宾语)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.汤姆将出国
19、的消息是他讲的。(同位语从句,that在句中不作任何成分)【试题延伸】(2011天津)Modern science has given clear evidence _smoking can lead to many diseases.A. what B. which C. that D. where)点拨. C。题意:抽烟会导致多种疾病,对此现代科学已经给出了明确的证据。本题考查名词性从句(同位语从句)。evidence后的从句说明的是其具体内容,从句中不缺少句子成分,故用that引导同位语从句。 其他三项引导同位语从句都要在从句中作成分。【难度】一般28.Days later, my br
20、other called to say he was all right, butsay where he was.A. mustntB. shouldntC. wouldntD. mightnt28. 【考点】情态动词would 【答案】C【解析】mustnt意为“禁止”;shouldnt意为“不应该”;wouldnt意为“不愿意”;mightnt意为“或许不”。句意为:几天后,我哥哥打电话说他一切很好,但不愿意说他在哪儿。根据句意可知,应选C项。【难度】一般29. Thank God youre safe!I stepped back, justto avoid the racing ca
21、r.A. in timeB. in caseC. in needD. in vain29. 【考点】介词短语【答案】A【解析】in time意为“及时”,in case意为“万一,假使”;in need意为“需要”;in vain意为“徒劳,无济于事”。句意为:谢天谢地,你是安全的!我走回去,正好避免赛车。符合题意。【难度】一般30.Ones life has valueone brings value to the life of others.A. so thatB. no matter how C. as long asD. except that30. 【考点】连词【答案】C【解析】a
22、s long as意为“只要”;so that意为“以便;因此”;no matter how意为“不管怎样”;except that意为“除了”。句意为:只要一个人给别人的生活带来价值,那么他的生命就有价值。,根据题意,应选C项。【难度】一般31.an important decision more on emotion than on reason, you will regret it sooner or later.A. BasedB. BasingC. BaseD. To base31. 【考点】非谓语动词动词现在分词做状语【答案】B【解析】动词base与逻辑主语you之间构成主谓关系
23、,所以用现在分词作状语,故选B项。【举一反三】1)现在分词的主动语态:现在分词主动语态的一般式表示与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生,完成式表示的动作在谓语动词所表示的动作之前发生,常作状语。如:They went to the park, singing and talking. 他们边唱边说向公园走去。Having done his homework, he played basketball.做完作业,他开始打篮球。2)现在分词的被动语态:一般式表示与谓语动词同时发生的被动的动作,完成式表示发生在谓语动词之前的被动的动作。The problem being discussed is very
24、 important.正在被讨论的问题很重要。Having been told many times, the naughty boy made the same mistake.被告诉了好几遍,这个淘气的孩子又犯了同一个错误。【试题延伸】(2011辽宁). _around the fire, the tourists danced with the local people.A. Gather B. To gather C. Gathering D. To be gathering点拨. C。题意:游客们围在火堆旁,与当地人一起跳舞。本题考查非谓语动词。句子主语the tourists是动词
25、gather的执行者,二者是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。【难度】较难32. The manager is said to have arrived back from Paris where he_ some European partners.A. would meet B. is meetingC. meetsD. had met32. 【考点】动词的时态和语态过去完成时【答案】D【解析】根据句中“is said to have arrived”可知,arrive这个动作是在过去发生的,而会面的动作则在arrive的动作之前发生的,即在过去的过去发生的动作,所以用过去完成时,故选D项。【
26、易错点拨】本题时态选择的关键是根据“is said to have arrived”可知,这一动作发生在过去,因此“会面”这个动作是在到达之前发生的,所以用过去完成时。【难度】较难33. Honey, the cats stuck in the tree. Can you turn off the TV and get a ladder?Oh, it jumped off. .A. Never mind B. All rightC. No problemD. Take care33. 【考点】交际用语安慰【答案】A【解析】A项意为“别介意,别放在心上”,。B项意为“好吧”;C项意为“没问题”;
27、D项意为“当心”。 句意为:亲爱的,那只猫被困在树上。你可以关电视,拿梯子?哦,它会跳下来。别放在心上。根据上面是在担心,故后面是安慰,故选A项。【难度】一般34. The president hopes that the people will be better off when he quits than when he_.A. has started B. startsC. startedD. will start34. 【考点】动词时态一般过去时【答案】C【解析】句意为:这位总统希望人民在他离任时比他刚上任时更富有。根据句意,总统开始上任是过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时。故选C项。
28、【易错分析】考生容易根据when he quits而误选B项。事实上when he quits中的quits是用了一般现在时来代替一般将来时。【难度】较难35. Happy birthday!Thank you! Its the best present Ifor.A. should have wishedB. must have wishedC. may have wishedD. could have wished35. 【考点】情态动词+完成式【答案】D【解析】A项意为“本应该期望而实际上并非如此”;B项意为“一定希望”;C项意为“也许希望”;D项意为“可能希望”。句意为:生日快乐!谢谢
29、你!这是我所能期望的最好的礼物了。根据句意可知,应选D项。【举一反三】情态动词have+过去分词表示与过去事实上相反的情况,也是高考单项选择题涉及到情态动词的一个重要方面。高考对情态动词表示虚拟用法,表示与过去事实相反的情况。近几年高考,主要侧重should (not)have done 这一句式上,表示本来不该做却做了或本来该做却未做的事,在复习时,还应关注其它几种虚拟形式,如need (not)have done 表示本来需要做而未做或本来不需要而做的事等等,以做到有备无患。 【试题延伸】.Oh, Im not feeling well in the stomach. I_so much
30、fried chicken just now. A. shouldnt eat B. mustnt have eaten C. shouldnt have eaten D. mustnt eat 【解析】该句所表达的意思是刚才我不因该吃那么多炸鸡,而实际上是吃了那么多,可以判断用shouldnt have eaten. 答案是 C。 【难度】一般第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The concept of solitude (独处) in the dig

Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb cither ultraviolet (UV,紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light, whi
78、ch means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds(化合物)absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Alm
79、utairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called o-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall
80、 off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better.

After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called B
82、hc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. Whats more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and
