27、ould have fallen解析 该题考查虚拟语气。虽然没有if引导的明显的虚拟条件句,但是otherwise提供了一种隐含的虚拟条件。并且,所假设的情况和过去的事实相反,因此句子的动词结构应该采用“would/should/could/might+have+过去分词”这一形式。答案 D22To enjoy the scenery,Irene would rather spend long hours on the train travel by air.A.as B.to C.than D.while解析 该题考查would rather do sth. than do sth.这一句型
28、,意思是“宁愿做而不愿做”。答案 C23Restaurants in every corner of Chengdu not only provide job opportunities but lots of taxes as well.A.bring in B.bring about C.result in D.result from解析 该题考查短语动词的意思。根据句子的意思:散布在成都各个角落里的餐馆不仅提供了就业机会,而且也带来了税收。bring in的意思是“赚得,带来收入”。答案 A24Its reported that nearly 150 000 people lost th
29、eir lives in Asian tsunamis(海啸).Yes,news came as shock to me.A.the;theB.a;aC.the;aD.a;the解析根据上文Its reported.可知这是一则已经报道过的消息,因此下文再次提到这则消息时,应该是特指,后者表示泛指“一件令人震惊的事情”。答案C25Where can we have supper tonight?Oh,if you dont mind,we can do it at of the restaurants.A.allB.everyC.anyD.each解析考查代词的用法。从语境上看,说话人意思应是
30、“我们可以在任何一家饭馆用餐”。用every结构不对,而A选项表示全部,不符合句意,each表示“每一个”,不可能是在“每一家饭馆用餐”。答案C26Weve been waiting for hours to see the famous pop singer,but the airplane behind the timetable.A.must beB.will beC.would have beenD.must have been解析考查情态动词。根据前面的时态提示,可以推出是对过去事情的推测,同时表示肯定之意。答案D27Come and see me whenever .A.you a
31、re convenientB.you will be convenientC.it is convenient to youD.it will be convenient to you解析convenient作表语其主语常用it,故A、B两项要排除。在时间状语从句中应用一般现在时代替将来时,D项也不可选。答案C28from heart trouble for years,Professor White has to take some medicine with him wherever he goes.A.SufferedB.SufferingC.Having sufferedD.Being
32、 suffered解析根据时间状语可判断出要用现在分词的完成式作状语,表示动作的延续性。答案C29Its better to call the children inside,its cold.Just .They are all enjoying themselves.A.leave them there where they areB.let them aloneC.leave them lonelyD.left them where they are解析本题考查leave/let.alone表达“不理会;不干涉”。答案B30On getting to the kindergarten,t
33、he mother was glad to see her baby well.A.looked forB.cared forC.take care ofD.cared after解析本题考查短语词组的搭配。解读句子内容发现空格处应表达“照顾,照料”之意。词组look after,care for和take care of均表达此意。答案B31What do you think of the reason he explained in his last letter refusing the job?A.why;whyB.that;for whichC.which;forD.that;bec
34、ause解析本题考查点一是reason用作先行词时引导定语从句的关系代/副词;考查点二是reason与介词for搭配,表达“的原因”。分析reason之后的定语从句可以看出缺少explained的宾语,第一空格处填入that或which或省略。答案C32Peter wont drive us to the station.He has to take us all.A.a very small carB.too small a carC.a too small carD.such a small car解析根据固定搭配too+adj.+a/an+单数名词,用too small a car,还可
35、以表述为:as small a car as.,how small a car.,so small a car等。答案B33Do you think I should get a good guide book?Yes,of course.,you also need a good camera and comfortable shoes.A.Whats moreB.In other wordsC.By the wayD.All in all解析whats more另外还有;in other words换言之;by the way顺便问一下;all in all总得说起。答案A34He is
36、clever and quick at learning.he is too proud and not helpful.A.At one timeB.From time to timeC.At the same timeD.At times解析at the same time作“同时”讲时,有时具有前后意思上的转折关系,类似于however。at one time表示“曾经一度时期”,from time to time表示“不时地”,at times表示“有时候”,这三项均不符合本题逻辑关系。答案C35The longlasting war,filled with blood and dea
37、ths,ended in peoples sadness, no result.A.reachedB.to reachC.would reachD.reaching解析考查非谓语动词。本题应先判断用谓语动词还是非谓语动词。分析句子结构,句中谓语应是ended,filled为过去分词来作定语,reaching作结果状语。答案D第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面的短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。One afternoon I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaur
38、ant,waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive.Suddenly I 36 that a man sitting at a table near the window kept glancing in my direction,37 he knew me.The man had a newspaper 38 in front of him,which he was 39 to read,but I could 40 that he was keeping an eye on me.When the waiter brought my 41 th
39、e man was clearly puzzled(困惑) by the 42 way in which the waiter and I 43 each other.He seemed even more puzzled as 44 went on and it became 45 that all the waiters in the restaurant knew me.Finally he got up and went into the 46.When he came out,he paid his bill and 47 without another glance in my d
40、irection.I called the owner of the restaurant and asked what the man had 48.“Well,” he said,“that man was a detective(侦探).He 49 you here because he thought you were the man he 50.”“What?”I said,showing my 51.The owner continued,“He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man.I 52 s
41、ay he looked very much like you!Of course,since we know you,we told him that he had made a 53.”“Well,its really 54 I came to a restaurant where Im known,”I said.“55,I might have been in trouble.”36A.knewB.understoodC.noticedD.recognized解析notice可表示无意地“注意到”,符合此处语境。A项意为“认识”;B项意为“明白、理解”;D项意为“认出、听出”。答案C3
42、7A.sinceB.even ifC.thoughD.as if解析对方频频朝我打量,“好像”认识我似的,根据文意,对方与作者互不认识。A项明显不对,B项意为“即使”。答案D38A.flatB.openC.cutD.fixed解析从下文看出,对方的报纸应是“打开的(open)”,所以才有后面的read。A项意为“平的”,C项意为“剪、裁”,D项意为“固定住”,皆不合题意。答案B39A.hopingB.thinkingC.pretendingD.continuing解析从下文看出,对方是一个侦探,误把作者当成了通缉犯,所以此处只能是“假装”读报,实际是在监视。答案C40A.seeB.findC.
43、guessD.learn解析see意为“看出、明白”,说明作者根据对方的举动判断出他是在注意自己,而find意为“发现”,只说明动作结果,表达不出“看出”之意。C项意为“猜测”,而作者已看得很明白。D项意为“了解到”,而作者并未从别的途径了解。答案A41A.menuB.billC.paperD.food解析文章开头已经说明,作者在等着食物上来,所以此处用food,而A项的menu(菜单),B项的bill(账单)皆不合上下文语境。答案D42A.directB.familiarC.strangeD.funny解析从下文看出,作者跟这家餐馆的工作人员很熟,所以说起话来自然是用familiar way
44、,这一点却让那名侦探感到困惑。答案B43A.chatted withB.looked atC.laughed atD.talked about解析此处说明我与侍者谈话随便,所以是chat with each other(相互聊天),B、C两项明显不当,D项意为“谈论”,改用talk with方可。答案A44A.the waiterB.timeC.ID.the dinner解析此处说明随着时间的流逝,侦探更加困惑,句中went on表示“(时间)过去”,而非“继续”之意,所以其余选项不对。答案B45A.trueB.hopefulC.clearD.possible解析摆在眼前的事情,自然是越看越“
45、清楚”,而A项意为“真实的”,B项意为“有希望的”,D项意为“有可能的”,皆与语境不符。答案C46A.restaurantB.washroomC.officeD.kitchen解析下文51空后有提示“He came into the kitchen.”。答案D47A.leftB.actedC.sat downD.calmed down解析结合下文看出,侦探付了账之后就走了(left)。答案A48A.wantedB.triedC.orderedD.wished解析此处说明作者想知道那个人想要什么或想干什么,而B项意为“努力、尝试”,C项意为“命令、订购”,D项意为“希望”,皆不合语境。答案A49
46、A.metB.caughtC.followedD.discovered解析因侦探怀疑作者是通缉犯,所以“跟踪(followed)”到餐馆来,而A项意为“遇见”,B项意为“捉住”,D项意为“发现”,皆不合语境。答案C50A.was to beatB.was dealing withC.was to meetD.was looking for解析表明我是他一直在找(looking for)的人,A项意为“要打”;B项意为“在处理,在打交道”;C项意为“要会见”。答案D51A.careB.surpriseC.worryD.regret解析What!说明作者非常“吃惊(surprise)”,想不到这种
47、事会落到自己头上。答案B52A.mustB.canC.needD.may解析此处must表示非做不可的事情,以此解释为何侦探看错了人,原因就是作者与照片上的人非常像。再如:I must say youre looking much better.我得说你看上去好多了。答案A53A.discoveryB.mistakeC.decisionD.fortune解析此处说明侦探犯了错误(mistake),也就是认错了人。A项意为“发现”,C项意为“决定”,D项意为“发财”,皆不合语境。答案B54A.a pityB.naturalC.a chanceD.lucky解析作者“庆幸”自己是在熟悉的餐馆吃饭,
48、从而避免了不必要的麻烦。答案D55A.ThusB.HoweverC.OtherwiseD.Therefore解析“否则的话(otherwise),我也许就真有麻烦了。”答案C第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。ALOST ANDFOUNDFOUNDROOMMATESFOUND:Cat,6 months old,black and white markings.Found nearLinden and South U.

55、ction of letters from her cousin the story these become love letters,burned by a cruel stepmother.Laurens best friend Charlotte is the stepmother.“Im in Charlottes story too,”says Lauren,“and I get run over.”Charlottes tale was inspired by the girls coin collection.“Weve collected foreign coins for
56、yearssince our families went on holiday to Tenerife.”she explains.“That was before the Euro,so we put pesetas in.”Lauren continues:“I find a coin in the road,go to get it and get run over.Im in hospital and then I die.”Charlotte adds:“Or she might not die.I havent decided yet.”Millie Murray,who is a
57、 teanovel author,thinks that setting the subject of collections was a useful inspiration to their creativity rather than a restriction(限制).“In the beginning I thought,will the children be able to do it?”she says.“But its been fruitful.Some have their own collection,some have parents who do,and some
58、have written complete stories.Its made them think about something they wouldnt have otherwise,which can only be a good thing.”59What were the children asked to do in the project?A.To meet friends at Thomas Tallis School.B.To write stories on the subject of collections.C.To encourage visitors to writ
59、e their own stories.D.To have their friends for characters in the stories.解析文章第二句话告诉我们本次文学节每个孩子都要写一个关于收集的故事投到自己装饰好的盒子中。答案B60The underlined word “pesetas” in Paragraph 2 is a kind of .A.story B.collection C.inspiration D.foreign coin解析 Charlotte的故事是关于收集coin的,所以投进去的应该是coin,句子的前半部分还有欧元(Euro)做参照。答案 D61F
60、rom the stories by Lauren and Charlotte,we know that .A.Charlotte hurt herself when getting a coinB.both of them developed their imaginationC.both of them will die in each others storiesD.Laurens cousin posted her some love letters解析文章中两个inspire表明两个孩子的作品都是受到原形启发,再发挥自己的想像力创作出来的。第二段第一句话还直接点明了“The subj
61、ect.was an imaginative one”。答案B62Millie Murray thinks .A.collections could inspire writing creativityB.it was good for parents to have collectionsC.inspirations were very useful in writing storiesD.setting collection subjects restricted inspirations解析最后一段的第一句话就是答案之所在:“Millie Murray.thinks.inspiratio
62、n to their creativity rather than a restriction.”答案ACAmericans genius with high technology may have put men on the moon,but there is growing doubt about its ability to solve human problems closer to home.In fact,a slight but significant change from purely technological solutions is already under way
63、 as scientists insist that answers to the worlds problems will not come from an attractive exhibition of electronics and machines.Instead,as they see it,solutions must develop from a better understanding of the humans that drive the system and from a fuller appreciation of the limits and potential(潜
64、力) of the earths resources.What this means is an increased emphasis on the life and earth sciences,on sociology,psychology(心理学),economics and even philosophy.More and more of the best minds in science,particularly young researchers,are being drawn into these developing fields.All this is not to say
65、that technological creativity will not play a critical role in solving energy and food shortages,or that answers to environmental difficulties will not come from further advances in the same technologies that may have helped cause the problems.Where the real challenge lies,in the view of the new gen
66、eration of scientists,is in finding ways to produce goods to meet the worlds needs,using less of the raw materials that are becoming short.63Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.A growing number of Americans are doubtful about what high technology can do in solving th

68、till play a very important role in solving the worlds problems.解析主旨题。整篇文章论述的是现在的科学家们,特别是年轻一代的科学家们越来越多地意识到,要解决全球性的人口与环境等问题,只靠发展科技是不够的,更要强调生命与地球科学及社会学、心理学、经济学甚至哲学的研究(第三段)。同时,第二段中也提到“solutions must develop from a better understanding of the humans.”。故B项内容是对本文的恰当总结。答案B64Young scientists demand that in o
69、rder to satisfy human needs.A.the quality of present products be improvedB.more machines and electronic equipment be designedC.ways be found to produce better goods using fewer raw materialsD.any new invention be encouraged in technology解析细节题。根据最后一段中的信息提示可以推出应选C。答案C65In the passage “human problems”
70、or “world problems” refers mainly to the following EXCEPT .A.global food shortageB.resources running outC.environmental pollutionD.exploration of the earths resources解析细节题。倒数第二段中列出了几个世界共同面临的问题,即“能源和食物短缺”“环境问题”,它们包含了A、B、C三项的内容,D项“地球资源的勘探”并没有提到。答案D66It can be inferred from the passage that .A.we must
71、try our best to protect the natures recycling systemB.we must develop more electronics and machinesC.younger scientists own different opinions about world problems from older onesD.we neednt worry about drinking water from nature解析推理题。由全文内容可知,人类面临资源危机的问题,要解决这一问题,维持可持续发展的状态,就必须在利用自然资源的同时要保护好自然资源的循环系统
72、。其他选项与文意不符。答案ADLONDONBig Ben,the landmark London clock renowned for its accuracy and chimes(钟声),stopped ticking for 90 minutes,an engineer said Saturday.Officials do not know why the 147yearold clock on the banks of the River Thames stopped at 10:07 p.m.on Friday.It resumed keeping time,but stalled
73、again at 10:20 p.m. and remained still for about 90 minutes before starting up again,a spokeswoman for the House of Commons said.There has been speculation(推测) that a recent period of hot weather may have been to blame.Temperatures in London reached 90 on Saturday,and forecasters called it Englands
74、hottest day in May since 1953.Big Ben,which is operated by the Palace of Westminster,survived attacks by German Luftwaffe bombers during World War ,continuing to mark the time to within 1.5 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time.However,the clock has experienced occasional problems.In 1962,snow caused the c
75、lock to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late.In 1976,the clock stopped when a piece of its machinery broke.Big Ben also stopped on April 30,1997,and once more three weeks later.Big Ben is actually the clocks 13-ton bell,which was named after Sir Benjamin Hall,the British commissioner of works at the
76、 time the clock was built.The official name for the Gothic tower holding Big Ben is St.Stephens Tower.Standing 315 feet tall,it was completed in 1858 after an 1834 fire destroyed most of the Palace of Westminster.67What does the underlined word “resumed” (in Paragraph 2) mean?A.Stopped something fro
