22、选项中缺少宾语。答案A22I am by his attitude after hearing his words.A.puzzled;puzzledB.puzzling;puzzlingC.puzzled;puzzlingD.puzzling;puzzled解析本题考查puzzled和puzzling的区别。puzzled常用来修饰人,指人的内心感觉“感到困惑不解的”。puzzling常用来修饰事物,指事物的性质“令人困惑的”。答案C23The countrys is based on trade.A.wealthyB.wealthC.possessionD.possessor解析本题由前面
23、的所有格提示应选名词在句中作主语,去掉A,根据句意“这个国家的财富是以贸易为基础的”,排除D项。possession作为“所有物,财产”之意时尤其用作复数形式,而wealth作为“财产,财富”之意时通常用作不可数名词。答案B24As a young man,Tom used to in the town, to find a job for a few coins.A.knocking about;waitedB.knocked down;waitingC.knock about;waitingD.knocked down;waited解析根据句意“汤姆年轻时曾在镇上游荡,期待找份工作挣点钱”
24、。“漫游”可用短语knock about,第二个空考查非谓语动词在句中作状语,表示一种伴随的动作,故用现在分词表示主动。答案C25The new law will come into on the day it is passed.A.effectB.use C.service D.existence解析本题考查“come into+n.”短语的含义,come into effect意为“(尤指法律、规则等)实行,实施”;come into use意为“开始(被)使用”;come into existence意为“开始存在,产生、成立”。答案A26Mother suggested that I
25、 my homework before watching TV.A.didB.doC.shall doD.was put解析suggest当“建议”讲,后面的宾语从句谓语动词应用(should)+do。答案B27The new film received from everyone.A.highly praiseB.high praiseC.high praisesD.highly praises解析praise一般用作不可数名词,意为“赞美,赞扬”,用复数形式时,意为“赞美的话”,本句意为“那部新上映的电影受到了大家的赞扬”。故排除C、D两项,又因名词的前面用形容词修饰,故排除A。答案B28
26、They did it all friendship.A.by the name ofB.of the name ofC.under the name ofD.in the name of解析本题考查由name构成的短语。by/of the name of 意为“称做,叫做”,under the name of意为“用某某作名字(不用自己的真名)”,in the name of“为某事物的缘故”。答案D29He gas a mile from home;therefore he had to wait for someone to take his car to the gas station
27、.A.ran outB.ran out ofC.ran intoD.ran over解析本题考查run所构成的短语的含义,run out意为“用完,用尽”,其主语通常是时间、食物、金钱等名词;run out of意为“用完”,通常表示主动含义,其主语一般是人;run into意为“偶然遇见某人,遭遇(困难、问题等)”;run over意为“(车)撞倒,碾过,浏览,复习”。答案B30In fact is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match.A.thisB.thatC.thereD.it解析本
28、题需用it作形式主语,不定式短语作真正主语,A、B两项无此用法,C项只能构成There be句型,不符合该题的句法结构。答案D31They are all little children that you are not able to look after many of them by yourself.A.so;soB.such;soC.such;suchD.so;such解析本题考查such,so的用法区别。首先找出中心词children,其中little便不再表示数量“少的”,而是作为普通形容词“小的”用在children之前,所以第一空格处要用such。答案B32All is ne
29、eded is a supply of oil.A.the thingB.thatC.whatD.which解析本题有两个不是并列关系的谓语动词,其中肯定有一个是从句的谓语。据句意“所有被需要的东西就是”可知,是主语all带有一个定语从句。先行词为不定代词all时,关系代词要用that,不用which,故选B。what不能引导定语从句,只能引导名词从句;这句若无all,则要用what。答案B33Word came I was wanted at the office.A.whetherB.thatC.whyD.which解析引导同位语从句的连词通常有that和whether,在同位语从句中作某
30、些名词的同位。这些名词常见的有fact,news,hope,truth,idea,suggestion,thought,question,order,problem,belief,fear,doubt等词。答案B34 David and Vicky married?For about three years.A.How long were;beingB.How long have;gotC.How long have;beenD.How long did;get解析此题融时态与动词用法于一体,考查学生在特定的语言环境中判断时态与动词的能力。根据答语for about three years可知
31、要用现在完成时,表示到目前为止的状况。第二层要判断be与get在意思与用法上的不同。be表示可以延续的状况,而get可以用于完成时态中,但作为系动词使用时,不能与表示一段时间的短语连用。答案C35Although he has lived with us for years,he us much impression.A.hadnt leftB.didnt leave C.doesnt leaveD.hasnt left解析让步状语从句用了现在完成时,主句应用现在完成时,表示从过去某个时候开始直到现在都没给我们留下多少印象。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
32、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。Recently I was invited to a friends house for supperand had a meal I have never had before.All the friends invited were a little 36.Its not that Ben is unsociable,or a bad cook,but its just that he never 37 more than he has to.So how come he was inviting u

34、up.“Its a 43 of carrots,potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben.The next 44 was also a little strange 45 we didnt quite know what it was again.Its just another mixture of vegetable.As we ate we chatted and finally the 46 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe(食谱) for this,”asked Marina,“or d
35、id you 47 it up?”Ben put his fork down.“What I cooked 48 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But theres 49 choice in what you can find 50 supermarkets,”he replied.51 that we had all finished the food,Ben decided to tell the truth.He had rea
36、d recently that supermarkets usually 52 away 5 percent of their food every day.So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins.There he found food that was slightly out of 53,boxes of throwaway vegetables and fruit.So Ben had 54 provided a decent meal for his friends,and made us away of the
37、 fact that there are many poor people who need the food,but the amount of food thrown away in enough to 55 millions of people.36A.excitedB.disappointedC.surprisedD.delighted解析从下文的“.he never spends more than he has to”这一通常的行为可推知Ben这次邀请这么多朋友让人吃惊。答案C37A.takesB.spendsC.usesD.does解析结合上下文可以推出Ben一般情况下是不请朋友
38、吃饭的。答案B38A.cheapB.specialC.practicalD.usual解析作者不明白为什么这次Ben会有这样的举动,因此猜测可能是什么特别的东西。答案B39A.newB.separateC.bookedD.laid解析桌子已经摆放好,表示Ben已经为此作了一些准备,符合招待客人的语言情景。答案D40A.freshestB.mostC.bestD.least解析nothing but后面应该取有褒义的词,best在此才能描述Ben要给朋友提供的食物的特征。答案C41A.nervouslyB.carefullyC.sadlyD.happily解析由于Ben把这件事搞得很神秘,从而给
39、他们带来紧张感。答案A42A.in forB.up toC.away fromD.out of解析be up to固定结构,取意为“在从事,忙于”。在此表示朋友们的不解。答案B43A.mixtureB.liquidC.matterD.dish解析从下文的“of carrots,potatoes,and tomatoes”,可推出Ben给朋友们的是一碗多种蔬菜混合在一起的混合食物。答案A44A.courseB.foodC.soupD.salad解析course在此表示一道菜。答案A45A.in thatB.on condition thatC.in case thatD.so that解析in
40、that 在于,因为。答案A46A.dinnerB.ideaC.foodD.subject解析从聊天再把话题转移到当时所吃的食物上来,非常符合语言情景。答案D47A.pickB.lookC.makeD.take解析make up有“编造”的意思,同上文的“Was there a recipe for this”形成对照。答案C48A.referredB.depended onC.lay inD.resulted from解析承上文,Ben对自己所做的食物作解释。由下文可推知,他只是用他所能find的东西做成刚才的食物,而没有什么特别的东西。答案B49A.lessB.moreC.someD.an

52、的。根据第二段知B项是错的。根据第三段知C项是错的。答案DBThis hotel in the trees is famous in the world.People who know very little about Kenya,know of Treetops.When King George died,Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops,and when she came down from there,she succeeded to become the queen of the country.This hotel,in
53、the middle of the forest,shows the pleasure of Africa.When you visit it,you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses,and then a guide,with a gun to protect you against big animals,will go with you to the House in the Tree.Before and after dinner,for the whole night if you wish,you ca
54、n sit on the corridor(走廊),watching animals come to the water pool and the salt.The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of the water,but this was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops,which is built round several trees,is much bigger.The dinning room at Tr
55、eetops is small,and as the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests,a clever “railway service” has been invented.Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them,along a line in the center of the table.There are many animals around the Treetops.When you visit them,you can see:Animals and
56、 their babies are waiting to greet the guests.Animals are enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.A long bodied,long ring tailed,very active catlike animal is a special one coming out at night.He hunts and eats anything he can overpower and is very destructive.The picture shows that he lives in t
57、he trees at Treetops.He comes for his food every evening.Do not get too near him,as his teeth and claws can do you harm.These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.Some other animals have a thick coating on fur to keep him warm in the cold forest nights.Many buffaloes(水牛) come to the Treetop
58、s for water and salt during the day or night.59According to the passage,“railway service” actually refers to .A.the service provided at the railway stationB.the supply of food on the trainC.the service provided along railwaysD.the supply of food along a moving line解析“railway service”(轨道服务)就是送食品的运输线(
59、因为服务员将饭菜端送到树上旅游宾馆不方便)。答案D60Which of the following statements about “the catlike animal”,described in the last part,is NOT true?A.It comes for food at night.B.It lives in the trees at Treetops.C.Its teeth and claws can do people harm.D.It can catch and eat any other animals in the forest.解析根据倒数第三段中的第
60、二句话可知,这种像猫的动物食任何它能制服的动物,但并非指所有其他动物,故D项错。答案D61According to the passage,Treetops is famous in the world because .A.it shows the pleasure of AfricaB.Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from thereC.it is built round several treesD.there are many animals that can be trained and become lo
61、vely pets解析第一段第三句说明了树上宾馆的来历,Treetops之所以出名,是因为Princess Elizabeth是从那里下来得到王冠的。答案B62We can learn from the passage that the guests .A.should not play games on the TreetopsB.could not sit on the corridor at nightC.could enjoy their dinner in the wide dining roomD.should keep off the catlike animal解析should
62、 keep off the catlike animal意思是说:客人们要远离那种像猫一样的动物。文中第三段中有“as his teeth and claws(爪) can do you harm”,由此可知。答案DCThe US declared that the eagle was its national bird in 1782.It was chosen because of “its long life,great strength,and noble looks”.A few eagles have even become American heroes.An eagle nam
63、ed “Old Abe”,the mascot(吉祥物) of a Wisconsin troop of soldiers during the Civil War,traveled 14 000 miles with its men.He was often shot at by the enemy,but survived 42 battles.If Americans chose their national symbol deliberately(故意地),the symbol of England arose out of history.King Henry (10681135)
64、was a brave warrior but also wise.His appreciation for the rule of law earned him the nickname the Lion of Justice.He was the first English King to use a lion as a royal symbol,which is popularly known as the “king of the jungle”.By the year Richard ,known as “The Lionheart” for his bravery,came to
65、the throne(君主) in 1189,the famous Three Lions badge(徽章) had been formed.Now it can be seen on the shirts of Englands sports teams.Although people might not think of lions when they think of England,everyone knows about the Australian kangaroo.Legend has it that the kangaroo gets its name from an ear
66、ly meeting between local aborigines and white settlers.When asked by the Europeans what these strangelooking animals were,a native replied “kangaroo”,meaning “I dont understand you”.The kangaroo is an individualistic animal.Although it does gather in groups,the kangaroo is not a herd(群) animal.If a
67、group is attacked,individuals run off in different directions.Australians think the kangaroo represents positive values,such as individual responsibility and pride.63Choose the best title for the passage.A.From Eagles to LionsB.Countries and Their SpiritsC.Stories behind the National AnimalsD.Nation
68、al Spirits and Symbols解析最好的题目必须是全文中心思想的凝结。全文主要在说和美国的标志鹰、英国的标志狮子、澳大利亚的标志袋鼠相关的故事或者说是这些国家为什么要选择这些动物来作为自己国家的标志。所以C项合适。文章虽然也表现了三个国家的精神spirits,但是spirits不是主要内容。答案C64Which of the following is WRONG?A.American chose their national symbol after careful consideration.B.An eagle called “Old Abe” behaved bravely
69、 during American Civil War.C.Though lions are not native English animals they have a connection to the history of the country.D.It is said that the kangaroo is named after a meeting between the local aborigines and white settlers.解析A项和C项与第三段所给的信息相符。B项与第二段所给的信息相符。D项与第五、六段所给的信息不符。答案D65What does “Kanga
70、roo” mean in a borines language?A.I dont understand you.B.I dont know.C.I cant hear you.D.I cant answer you.解析请参考倒数第二段的最后一句。答案A66Which of the following has nothing to do with the eagle?A.Wisconsin troop.B.Old Abe.C.American Civil War.D.King Henry .解析根据第二段可知A、B、C三项都与鹰有关,依据第四段可得知:King Henry 和英国历史有关,但与
71、鹰无关。答案DDWhen most people think of tropical islands,lined with white sandy beaches and bright blue seas,it is often the Caribbean or South Pacific that comes to mind.But for Chinese tourists who want a taste of paradise on Earth there is a new place to consider.Mauritius,an island lying off the south
72、east of Africa in the Indian Ocean,has just been added to Chinas list of tourist destinations.Rich in history,natural beauty and culture,the island has been a popular destination for the worlds tourists for many years.On December 15 a total of eight African countries were added to the list.The other
73、s are Tunisia,Tanzania,Ethiopia,Kenya,Zimbabwe,Zambia and the Seychelles.The island has passed through the controlling hands of a number of European powers,including Dutch,French and British.In 1968,Mauritius won its independence.At present,over half the population of Mauritius is Hindu and another
74、fifth is Muslim(穆斯林).Both groups are descendants(后裔) from workers brought to the island from India by the British.Some Chinese were also brought over to work.There are also descendants of African slaves and FrancoMauritians,the original settlers of the island.One of the best things about the island
75、is the food.There is a mouthwatering mix of European,Chinese and Indian flavours and seafood is very popular.A typical Mauritian dinner might have Indian chicken curry,Chinese pork,British roast beef and Frenchstyle vegetables.Boiled rice is served with just about everything.All that is washed down
76、with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum(朗姆酒).The pleasant tropical climate and scenery provide the perfect setting to enjoy everything.The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef(珊瑚礁).This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving.The large number of inter
77、esting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing.67Which of the following cant be used to describe Mauritius?A.Tropical island,white sandy beach and bright blue sea.B.Beautiful scenery,rich history and culture.C.Most of the people in Mauritius are black.D.Delicious foo
78、d mixed with eastern and western flavours.解析第五段“over half the population of Mauritius is Hindu”的意义:毛里求斯现在一半的人口为印度人。根据我们中学生应该具备的常识,印度人不属于黑色人种,由此推断可知。答案C68Which group of the following topics is NOT discussed in the text?A.Food and history.B.Scenery and population.C.Location and sports.D.Natural resour
