17、d Connecticut.CHer/his boarding school.DThe difficulty of communication with her/his family.当主语后面有as well as,along with,with,together with等短语时，谓语动词不受这些短语的影响，仍然与主语保持一致。The students as well as the teacher are going to see the film.老师和同学们都要去看电影。He as well as his brothers is coming to see you.不但他的兄弟们要来看
18、你，他也要来。答案.1.inventions2.contains3.Logging4.breakdowns5.created6.designing7.sources8.millionaires9.accessible10.documents.1.came up with2.became known as3.consist of4.going down5.log on6.as well.1.(1)raised(2)rising(3)raise解析(1)rise是不及物动词，意思是“升起；上升；起立；起床；上涨”，说明主语自身从低到高的变化过程。(2)raise是及物动词，强调抬高动作的姿势或抽象
19、意义上的“提高”。raise ones hand举起手2(1)make up(2)consists of/is made up of(3)making up解析(1)consist of由组成。不能用于进行时态和被动语态，因为其本身的含义就是：be made up of。(2)be made up of由组成。后接组成的成分，在句中以被动形式出现。(3)make up组成。该短语的主语通常是组成的各个部分；此外make up还有“编造；化妆；弥补；和解”等意思。.1.A句意为：弗兰克把药放到最上面的抽屉里，确保它不被孩子们够到。accessible意为“易接近的”；relative意为“相对的
20、，比较的”；acceptable意为“合意的，受欢迎的，可接受的”；sensitive意为“敏感的”。根据句意应该选A。2C句意为：他没有把何时何地召开会议搞清楚。句中“when and where the meeting would be held”为make的真正宾语，it为形式宾语，clear为宾补。3D根据句中“among the lowest in Britain”和“probably one of the highest”可知前后的意义存在对比。while用作连词，可用于表示对比或相反的情况，意为“而；但是”。4C分析句式结构可知此处缺少同位语从句的引导词，从句意义、结构均完整，所
21、以选that。5C本题考查be well known的比较级。根据句意“怀特教授已经写了一些短篇故事，但他更以他的戏剧而出名”，be well known的比较级应为be better known，故C项正确。6C考查词汇辨析。“牛奶价格上涨如此快”要用不及物动词rise或go up，D项时态错误，故选C项。7Abreak down出故障；分解；垮掉；失败；break out爆发，突然发生；break in闯入；插话；break up拆散；打碎；驱散。句意为：新闻报导说两国和谈失败，没有达成协议。故选A。8Bbringing与句子主语my cousin在逻辑上存在主谓关系，在此句当中用现在分词
22、作伴随状语。9Adriving permit驾驶证。permission意为“允许”，尤指口头上的，抽象的。10Aat the moment此时；现在；the moment是连词引导时间状语从句，相当于as soon as。.1.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章把重点放在了排解思乡之情的方法上，因此答案为B。D项范围太大，作者并没有全面地描述自己在学校的生活。2A段落主旨题。由第二段可知，学校挺好，作者也愿意与朋友在一起，但but后的分句笔锋一转，道出了思乡之情。3C推理判断题。文章最后一段第一句及倒数第二句提到，作者与同在异乡的朋友交流，共同回忆在家乡的日子，以缓解思乡之情。4B词义猜测题。作者只身异乡很是想家，幸亏有一些朋友可以一块交谈、共同回忆在香港的时光，这样作者才得以在美国过下去，由此可推知get by意为“过得下去，撑下去”。5D细节理解题。根据第四段第一句及第二句可知D项正确。
