Having been askedB. To askC. Having ask
12、edD. To be asked【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于那天晚上被要求加班,我错过了一场精彩的电影。 “被要求加班”这一动作发生在动作missed之前,要用现在分词的完成式,排除B项和D项;主语“我”和动词ask之间是动宾关系,要用现在分词的完成被动式,排除C项。故选A。4.

16、e running out表示将要用完,run out不能用被动形式。故排除B、D;选项A表示已经用完,不符合语意,故选C。【点睛】本题难度适中。动词时态及语态是高中阶段重难点之一,高中要求掌握的时态需要考生牢记它们的用法,但是时态必须要结合一定的语境才能做出正确的判断。这里考生容易误选D。即学即练: Bob has gone to California.Oh, can you tell me when he ?A. has left B. left C. is leaving D. would leave解析:B。句意:Bob已经去了加利福尼亚。噢,你能告诉我他什么时候离开的?”Bob ha

18、还没有成为现实。所以用不定式作定语。decision与make之间是被动关系,所以用不定式的被动语态。故选D。【点睛】非谓语动词作定语时的选择主要看被修饰词与该词之间的逻辑关系。作定语的非谓语动词和被修饰词构成主动关系时,用现在分词形式;构成被动关系时,用过去分词形式;表示将来特定某一次时,用动词不定式形式。例如本题中,根据句意,特指半小时后会议上将要达成的决定,所以选用不定式作定语。9.

19、enD. where【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意:销售总监是一个沟通能力和销售能力同样重要的职位。分析句子结构,_ communication ability is just as important as sales.是一个限定性定语从句,修饰先行词a position,关系词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where。故选D。10.

20、 unless【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意:教练,我可以继续训练吗?抱歉,你不能,因为你还没有从膝盖伤中恢复。A. until直到;B. before在.之前;C. as因为;D. unless除非。根据句意可知,上下文是因果关系,应用as连接。故选C。11. Before you quit your job, _ how your family would feel about your decision.A. considerB. consideringC. to considerD. considered【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查祈使句。句意:在你辞职之前,请好好
21、考虑你家人对于你的决定的感受。分析句子结构,before引导的是时间状语从句,how引导的是宾语从句,主句缺少谓语动词,此处为祈使句,空处需填动词原形。故选A。12. It was 80 years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic _Zheng sailed to East AfricaA. whenB. thatC. afterD. since【答案】B【解析】【分析】【详解】考查强调句。句意:郑和到达东非的时间比哥伦布横渡大西洋早了80年。分析可知,句子去掉It was和that,句意仍然完整,所以句子为强调句,其结构为It
22、 is/wasthat/who,被强调部分为时间状语80 years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic。故选B项。13. The headmaster will not permit the change in the course, nor _ it a thought.A. does he even givenB. he even givesC. will he even giveD. he will even give【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查倒装句。句意:校长是不会允许改变课程的,他甚至连想都不会想。当否定词或者半否定
23、词放在句首时,要使用部分倒装的形式。本句中nor是一个否定词,后面要使用部分倒装,排除BD,结合上文的“will”,可知,助动词使用will。故选C。14.

24、语evidence,且引导词在同位语从句中不作任何成分,且没有实际意义,所以用that引导。故选D项。15. Look,here comes your dream girl. Invite her to dance._What if she refuses me?A. I dont knowB. Why me?C. With pleasureD. So what?【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查情景交际。句意:看,你的梦中情人来了。邀请她跳舞。我不知道。如果她拒绝我怎么办?A. I dont know.我不知道;B. Why me?为什么是我啊?C. With pleasure愿意效劳;D. S
25、o what?那又怎么样?分析语境可知,对于是否邀请对方跳舞拿不定主意,害怕对方拒绝。在四个选项中,A选项符合语境。故选A。第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)请阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。I became a gardener when I was twelve.

54、 Memories of a happy family【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙。文章讲的是一份特殊的礼物。这份礼物是作者的弟弟Richard,Richard是妈妈送给作者的礼物。作者很开心能有一个玩伴。后来,Richard生病被送到了医院,作者的爸爸妈妈都以为Richard的病情很严重,结果却是虚惊一场。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richard.she put him in my lap, saying.I promised you a gift
55、, and here it is.”可知,1958年9月11日,妈妈生下了理查德她把他放在我膝上,说:“我答应给你一份礼物,就在这儿。所以作者在1958年9月11日有了一个弟弟。故选A项。【37题详解】词句猜测题。根据“Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying”可知,作者听到爸爸妈妈小声地提到了“不抱希望的”、“可怜的”、“临死的”等字眼,这让作者有一种不详的预感,作者担心弟弟Richard会出事。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出,第3段中带下划线的ominous一词可能是fearful“令人恐惧的”的意思
56、。故选D项。【38题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“ As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.Id never seen him cry before.”可知,作者的父亲一边说着,眼里充满了泪水。作者以前从未见过父亲哭过。所以通过关键词“filled with tears”可以判断出父亲因为Richard的病情而变得很难过。故选C项。【39题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.”可知,文章讲的是作者的一段精彩的记忆,这段记忆是关于他的弟弟Richard的
57、,再根据“a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts”可知,短文主要讲的是一份特别的礼物。故选C项。BTop lists are lecturing people on everything from 100 books to read .

John Keynes. a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute n
95、eeds, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs. which make us feel superior to our fellowsHe thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无法满足的), this is not true of absolute needs。Keynes was surely correct that only a small Part of total spending is decided by
96、the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for a
97、n anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a mo
98、del which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. Priced at over 120,000. it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2001. the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about car
99、s find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however. they must pay almost four times the price.By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural
100、limits.52. According to the passage, John Keynes believed that_.A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needsB. absolute needs come from or sense of superiorityC. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demandsD. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs53. What do we know about th
101、e couple in Paragraph 3?A. They want to show their superiority.B. They find specialty important to mealsC. Their demands for food are not easily satisfiedD.

C 53. D 54. B 55. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。它从英国著名经济学家约翰梅纳德凯恩
103、斯的一篇文章我们后代的经济前景入手,辩证地指出了他在文中提出的关于消费需求的正确的和错误的论点。【52题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无法满足的),this is not true of absolute needs可知John Keynes认为相对的需求可能会导致无止境的需求。故选C项。注意这个题考的不是作者的观点,而是凯恩斯的观点。在约翰梅纳德凯恩斯看来,人类对于奢华生活的相对需求才是造成过度消费的罪魁祸首。这也是作者极力批驳他的地方。【53题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的Deci
104、sions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality以及下面列举的例子可知答案为D项。夫妻的周年庆,的确是两人婚姻里值得庆祝的事情。两人在这天选择用餐可能是与平时不同,因为具有纪念意义。但the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them,想借此感受优越奢华生活的念头可能从来没有过。所以相对需求还是和平时生活质量有关。B选项仅停留于表面,非解释作者论证意图而得出的论点结论。【54题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段后面举的事例可知人们对质量的要求的增长没有明显的限
105、制。故选B项。escalation的意思是“扩大;增加”文章中表示“对生活质量需求的增加”。【55题详解】作者意图题。相据文章第一段最后一句中的although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的),this is not true of absolute needs,第二段中的He was greatly mistaken以及文章中的其他内容可知作者对“绝对的需求是没有限制的”提出了质疑。故选 A 项。按凯恩斯的观点,人类需求分为“绝对需求”和“相对需求”。从文章第一段可知He thought that although relative
106、 needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的),this is not true of absolute needs. (词组 be not true of对不适用,不符合)凯恩斯认为相对需求是无止境的。作者所做的就是辩驳他的论点,应是绝对需求无限,相对需求则和生活质量有关,是可控的、有条件性的和有限的,故选 A。四、写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)56. 短文改错 短文中共有10处错误,错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏词符号(),并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修
