I want to send my roots deep into the soil _1_ me, and thrust my sprouts (芽) _2_ the earths crust above me.I want to
2、open my tender buds(蓓蕾) like banners to announce the _3_ (arrive) of spring.I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew(露水) on my petals(花瓣)!”And so she grew.The second seed said, “I am afraid.If I send my roots into the ground below, I dont know what I _4_(co
3、me) across in the dark.If I push my way throughthe hard soil above me, I may damage my delicate sprouts. What if I let my buds open and a snail (蜗牛) tries _5_(eat) them? And _6_ I were to open my blossoms, _7_ small child may pull me from the ground.No, it is much _8_ (good) for me to wait _9_it is
4、safe.”And so she waited. A yard hen scratching around in the early spring ground for food found the waiting seed and immediately ate _10_.1_2._3._4._5_6._7._8._9_10._【解析】两颗种子的故事,告诉我们惧怕冒险和成长,最终要被生活吞没。1beneath介词,意为“在之下”与下文的above相对。2through介词,意为“穿过”。3arrival在冠词后用名词。4will come对未来的预测,句意为:我不知道在黑暗之中将会遇到什么。
5、5to eat因try表示“试图做某事”,后接不定式。6ifif引导虚拟条件句。7a表示泛指的“某一个”小孩,故用不定冠词a。8better隐性比较级,即“等”比“长”好得多。句中much也提示我们要用比较级,因为much常用来修饰比较级,表示“得多”。9until意为“直到”,引导时间状语从句。10itit指代前文中的the waiting seed。题组1单项选择1.

B hide sth. from sb.意为“隐瞒某人某事”。句意:对父母隐瞒事实是不诚实的。2. A hide可以是及物动词,也可以是不及物动词。the child和后面的动词构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故选择A
35、项。3. D the best place和后面的动词构成主谓关系,应 该用动词不定式作定语;hiding常作前置定语。句意:海滩也许是最好的庇护所。4. C creep into意为“蹑手蹑脚”,into是介词,后接名词或动名词。5. D 由句意可知空格前后是递进关系,故选择D 项。句意:站那边,你能看得清楚一些。6. A 考查“祈使句+or+陈述句”句型结构,其中or意为“否则”,属并列连词,表转折关系。7. C liked,wished,meant和expected都可接动词 不定式作宾语,但从句子的意思理解,应选meant。答语句意为“我本打算去买,但我忘了”。 8. C 分析句法结构
36、,可知空格处作定语。 meaning=which means。9. D when引导时间状语从句时,谓语动词可用延续性动词,也可用非延续性动词。while的谓语只能用延续性动词。as强调主句和从句的动作都在发展变化,意为“随着”。10. B 理解语境,根据句意可知“家务活我全做,而丈夫鲍勃只是偶尔洗洗碗筷”,表示转折关系的连接词只能是while。11. C that引导一个定语从句,排除A、D两项;根据前面的时态,选择C项。句意:他不喜欢任何特殊的事物。12. B pretend可以接不定式的一般时、进行时或完成时,根据前面的when引导的时间状语从句,空格处应该用动词不定式的进行时,表示当时
37、正在进行的动作。句意:当父亲进家的时候,这个淘气的男孩假装正在做作业。13. C “go+形容词”多表示“从好的状态变成坏的状态”。句意:听到他们的队赢得了比赛,学生们兴奋得快发疯了。 14. A 食物变坏用go。句意:把那条鱼放在冰箱 里,否则天热会变坏的。15. C date from=date back to“追溯到”,一般不用被动语态,谈论的是客观事物,多用一般现在时。16. A be dressed well 穿得好;wear后面接衣服;have on不用于表示进行的句子;put on“穿上”,表示瞬间动作。句意:和汤姆比较,约翰总是穿得既好又整洁。17. A notice sb.
38、doing sth.注意某人正在做某事。wear表状态;dressed后面如果有in也可表状态;put on 表动作;worn是wear的过去分词,在此表示被动,不合题意。句意:当她走进大厅的时候,我们注意到她正穿着一件漂亮的晚礼服。18. D 本题考查短语throw sb. into prison把某人关进(投进)监狱。根据搭配prison前不用冠词。句意:他曾无端入狱。19. B go to the cinema(相当于go to see a film),for a while都是固定搭配。20. D 定冠词和不定冠词加名词的单数都可以表示类别,定冠词表示特指,不定冠词表示泛指。故本题第一
39、个空应该选择the,是指blue whale这一类动物;第二个空用a表示泛指,意思是“一栋9层高的楼房”。21. B 本题考查句型“ban sb. from doing sth.禁止某人做某事”。句意:在我们学校规定学生禁止玩电脑游戏。22. D 根据短语 ban sb. from doing sth.搭配选择D 项。句意:由于喝酒他被禁止开车了。23. C 根据ban on/against sth. doing sth.搭配,选择C项。句意:警察取消了不准在这条街上停车的禁令。24. C idea主意;thought想法;memory记忆;mind思维。根据前面“回到老家”自己脑海中所浮现的
40、情景,故选择C项。句意:当我们探访老家时,这些照片唤起了许多美好的回忆。25. A 本题考查词义辨析。revive复兴;reuse再利用;review复习;retake再拿,再取。句意:在文艺复兴时期美术复兴了。26. C 本题考查间隔式同位语从句的用法。即先行词是the fact和that引导的同位语从句中间隔了谓语部分。27. D wonder意思是“想知道”,经常和if连用,意思是“想知道是否”;wander意思是“游荡,闲逛”。根据句意选择D项。28. A take off起飞。飞机、火车等按时刻表运行,句子一般用一般现在时。句意:“你什么时候走?”“我的那班飞机10:15起飞。”29
41、. B consist in表示“在于”,不用于被动语态。句意:威尼斯的美很多程度上在于它的古建筑风格。30. A consist with与一致;consist in在于;consist of由组成。根据句意选择A 项。句意:他的话与事实不符。31. D consist with与一致;be composed of由组成;consist in在于,没有被动结构。根据句意选择D 项。句意:人的幸福不能依附于财富。题组2 1. B 考查时态、语态和mark的用法。根据句意“拿到试卷后,你应该特别注意被标注的地方”可判断出,当试卷被发下来时,已经被标注过,所以要用现在完成时。本题没有强调过去的过去
42、,排除过去完成时。mark和what是被动关系,表示被标注。2. B 考查时态、语态和regardas的用法。he与regard之间是被动关系,可排除A、C两项;这里没有表示regard这个动作发生在过去哪个时间或动作之前,故不能用过去完成时。故选B。3. D 考查“n./pron./num.+ of+ which/whom”结构的定语从句。of whom引导定语从句,表示“其中的”。先行词friends是表示人的名词,要用whom。4. A 考查dress的用法。dress在表示“某人穿着衣服”时,要用be dressed in形式,表状态。5. B come out意为“出版;发行”。根据
43、is being printed可判断出“词典在印刷中,很快就会出版发行”。turn out“结果是”;start out“着手进行”;go out“外出”。6. C go作连系动词,意思是“变得”,往往指向坏的方面转变。句意为“当听说矿难的消息后,她的脸变得苍白”。get作连系动词,意思是“渐渐起来”,强调逐渐变化。7. C when引导时间状语从句,该句中谓语动词came是非延续性动词,要用并列连词when连接,表示“这时”。while只能表示某一段时间,不能表示某一时间点,其引导的时间状语从句中,谓语动词只能是延续性的,而且其动作常常与主句中的谓语动词动作同时发生或存在。8. A whi
44、le引导让步状语从句,意思是“尽管”,引导的从句多放在句首。as引导让步状语从句时从句要倒装。9. D 现在分词作students的定语,表示主动,即有一些正在学习汉语的学生。most of whom引导定语从句,whom代替the students作of的宾语,表示“其中的”。10. D mean doing sth.意为“意味着做某事”。句意为“如果你认为对一个女人好就意味着总是要得到她对事情的允许,那请你三思”。mean to do sth.意为“打算做某事”,其主语常常是人。11. A wearing作定语表示“正穿着”。不定式作定语通常表示“将(做某事)”。12. C 这道题主要考查
45、“come+副词”构成不同短语的意思。句意为“已经10点了,我很奇怪这么短的路程她怎么会迟到两个小时。”how it came about是“怎么会发生”的意思。come over“过来”;come out“出来;出版;开花”;come up“出现;被提出”。只有come about有“发生”之意。13. B mark“标志着”。句意为“今天的典礼标志着我们两国百年的贸易”。14. D bringto an end意为“使结束”;put an end to的宾语应为the political movement;at the end of意为“在末”。句意为“令他们宽慰的是,那场政治运动结束了”
46、。应用came to an end。15. A 考查“祈使句+and/or+句子”的结构。句意为“要听从医生的建议,否则你的咳嗽会更厉害的”。16. C 句意为“汤姆决定买一张音乐会的票,即使这意味着整夜地排队”。mean doing sth.“意味着做某事”。17. B 考查动词短语的含义。句意:她不知道她的丈夫为什么又遇到了麻烦。come up“上升;(话题等)被提出”;come about发生,造成”;come out“出版;真相大白”;come across“遇到,发现”。根据句意选B。18. A 句意:“你接下来想干什么?棒球赛还有半小时结束。”“由你决定,你做什么我都赞同。”B项意
47、为“看情况而定”;C项意为“好吧”;D项意为“听到这我很高兴”,均不符合题意。19. D 答句意为“我在讲话时你肯定在开小差”。wander“(注意力)不集中,走神”。20. C on end“连续地”;at an end“完结”;in particular“尤其”;on purpose“故意地”。句意为“这个故事如此逗人以至于让孩子们连续笑了好几分钟”。21. C date back to与date back都表示“追溯到,始于”,前者后面跟时间点,后者后面跟时间段。这两个短语都不能用于被动语态中,故选C,用现在分词短语作定语。22. A 动词know与主语my nephew之间是主动关系,
48、应用动词-ing形式,其否定式在其前加not。23. A book“预订(房间、票、座位等)”;order“订货”。根据空格所在处句意“那张靠窗的小桌子已有人订了”可知用book。且book与it之间是被动关系,因此用被动语态。本句强调过去发生的事对现在的影响,故用现在完成时。24. B 由于句中无连词,可知此题考查非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词stories,且the last与stories之间是部分与整体的关系,故选B。25. A pretend“假装”,后跟不定式。to have done表示该动作发生在谓语动词动作之前;to be doing表示该动作与谓语动词动作同时发生。根据句意“
49、她假装在专心听讲,其实她的思想已经开了小差”可知,选A。26. B 句意为“尽管她极力想掩饰输掉比赛的失望之情,但显然原本她是希望能赢的”。throw away“扔掉”;find“找到”;hold“举行”。27. D bring sth. to an end/put an end to sth.意为“使结束”;come to an end为不及物动词短 语,意为“结束,完结”。题组31. C 句意:那里的路况结果非常好,这超出了我们的想象。which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个句子的内容。2. A 句意:一分钟后一个人从丛林中出来了。come out of“从中出来”。3. A 句意:志
50、愿者们身着漂亮的制服,将站在最前排欢迎来访华的外国人,他们并用英语帮助访客。dressed in在此作状语,表示状态。4. A 句意:他们将给那个男孩穿上新衣服带他去公园。dress表示动作,后接人。wear表示状态,后接穿戴的东西。have on表示状态,后接穿戴的衣服、鞋子等。put on表示动作,后接穿戴的衣服。5. D 句意:搜索一下关于你城市的消防部门的网站,你会学会很多关于消防的知识。此题考查的句型是:祈使句+and+一个一般将来时的简单句。6. A 句意:在1925年,他们通过了一项法律,法律允许他们射杀骆驼。allowing是现在分词作定语修饰law,相当于定语从句which
51、allows them to shoot camels。allow与law之间是主动关系。7. B 句意:哈佛被看作世界上最富有的大学之一,每年把巨额资金花费在科学研究上。regardas“把看做”,此处用作被动式。8. C 句意:“最后一个到达的要付款。”“同意。”one被last修饰,故用to do作定语。9. C 句意:随着白天变长,树变绿了。as是连词,意为“随着”。when“当时候”;while“当时候,然而”;until“直到”。10. B 句意:玫瑰需要特殊的呵护以便能度过冬天。so that引导目的状语从句,意为“以便”。11. C 句意:重庆人以他们在过去的10年中取得的成绩
52、而自豪。本题考查介词后跟宾语从句的用法。在宾语从句what they have achieved in the past ten years中what指事物,作achieved的宾语。12. A 句意:当我进来的时候,她假装没看到我。考查pretend to do的否定式。13. A 答语句意:前两个免费,但第三个要收费30美元。while“然而”,表示对比,可接句子。14. D 句意:交通信号灯变绿了,我驱车离开了。go green“变绿”。15. D 句意:明天是汤姆的生日,你知道聚会在哪里举行吗?what引导名词性从句需作主语或宾语,该从句并不缺少这样的成分。根据句意应选where。16
53、. B 句意:我觉得累极了,没有心情听课。我开始走神了。in no mood to do sth.“没有心情做某事”。wander“走神,开小差”。Section B GRAMMAR题组1单项选择1. The flowers were so lovely that they _ in no time.

Mr Green stood up in defence of the 16-year-old boy, saying that he was not the one _.A. blamedB. blamingC. to blameD. to be blamed答案与解析题组11. C 题中the flowers和sell out之间在逻辑上是被动关系。句意:这些鲜花如此漂亮以至于一会儿就销售一空。2. B 本题考查动词的时态和语态,因为过去的这些日子被标记,故本题应当用一般过
74、去时的被动语态。句意:随着时间的流逝,很多诸如生日、获奖和毕业等特殊的日子都被爸爸的鲜花所标记。3. D 第一个空格作定语,修饰the ship,第二个空格是谓语动词,the ship和谓语动词之间是被动关系,故选择D项。句意:横渡大海的那艘轮船被大风损坏了。4. D 主语是物,和后面的谓语动词有被动的含义。make use of意思是“利用”。句意:自从本世纪开始,太多的自然资源已被利用。5. A show是及物动词,应该用被动形式;标在地图上用介词on。句意:那些村子太小不可能标在地图上。6. A sell是不及物动词,用副词修饰;taste是连系动词,跟形容词作表语。句意:尽管小,但这些
75、橘子好卖,因为它们尝起来味道好。7. C 由于形容词heavy后面的不定式是主动表被动,其主语the box是承受者,故选择C项。题组21. A 根据主语This coastal area与name之间的被动关系排除B、D两项。根据句中的last year判断用一般过去时,故选A项。2. C 句意:在澳洲金矿的发现使千百人相信将会发财。make a fortune意为“发财”,make在句中需要使用被动形式,因此排除B、D两项,题干中led提示时间为过去,因此选择C项。be to do译为“将会,将要”,was to be made表示过去将来。 3. C set a table“摆好餐桌”,
76、the tables作从句主语,故用被动结构。make sure后一般接宾语从句。4. B 考查时态和语态。第一个空在条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时;第二空表示现在的情况,用一般现在时的被动语态。5. C 考查被动语态。make attempts to do sth.“尝试做某事”。attempts作主语,用被动语态。6. A 考查时态及语态。句意:“我什么时候能取回我的车?”“我想今天晚些时候就能好了。三点左右给我打电话。”根据句意可知用将来时的被动语态。 7. A 考查时态和语态。句意:这个门打不开。最好找人修理一下。此处wont shut用主动表被动。8. C 句意为“我被雨淋
77、了,西服被毁了”。suit和ruin之间是被动关系,还强调对现在的影响,故用现在完成时。9. D 句意为“约翰不得不把车送到修理厂维修,因为车受到了严重损坏”。damage的动作发生在had to之前,而car和damage之间是被动关系。10. D 句意为“如果牛顿活到现在,他一定会惊讶于在科技方面的发现”。本题是与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。discover和what(what引导宾语从句,作discover的宾语)是被动关系。11. A 句意为“詹姆斯教授将给我们做一个关于西方文化的讲座,但何时何地还没确定下来”。yet与完成时连用,表示“到目前为止还未”。另外,when and where
78、作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。12. C feel是常用词,含义广泛,可表示感官、情感、想法等,主要指通过感官感知。作系动词时,后接形容词,表示“摸上去”,不用被动语态。根据所提供的场景when I jumped into the pool for morning exercise可判断出要用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事。13. C 现在进行时表示正在发生的动作或存在的状态。根据所提供的情景I have to go to work by taxi可判断出汽车正在修理,所以要用现在进行时的被动语态。14. B give后接双宾语,the right change作直接宾语,they的宾格them作
79、间接宾语,所以当they作主语时,其谓语动词要用被动语态。before leaving the shop表示“在离开商店前”,故用现在完成时。15. A by now意为“到现在为止”,常与现在完成时连用,表示到现在为止已经完成的动作。句子的主语是the construction,所以谓语动词要用单数形式。the construction是complete的动作的承受者,所以要用被动语态。16. A are being uncovered是正在进行的动作。the causes of cancer是动作的承受者,所以要用被动语态。17. B serve是及物动词,其动作承受者tea作主语,表示经
80、常发生的情况,故用一般现在时的被动语态。18. C Peter是kill动作的承受者,用被动语态,且救人发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态。19. A the rooms和furnish是被动的关系,排除B、D两项。未搬进新房子的原因是房间正在被装修,所以要用现在进行时的被动语态。一般现在时表示习惯性动作,排除C项。故选A。20. D decide是及物动词,动作的发出者通常是人,句中的主语是动作的承受者,所以decide要用被动语态。从题干的语境和关键词yet,可判断出用现在完成时,“疑问词+不定式”作主语,谓语动词用单数,排除B项。故选D。21. B books(书籍)是book(预订)
81、动作的承受者,主谓为被动关系,又因为被预订应发生在entered the office之前,所以要用过去完成时的被动语态。22. B 那对老夫妇是否喜欢到国外旅行是将来的动作,应用不定式,排除C、D两项。又因remains的逻辑主语it是动词see动作的承受者,即“喜欢到国外旅行”这件事有待于“被弄清”。应使用不定式的被动形式。23. C cant help doing sth.“禁不住做某事”,排除A、D两项;我是“被劝说”购物,要用动名词的被动语态。24. A think的宾语从句为强调句型,在be to do结构中,在某些场合可用不定式的主动形式表示被动含义,如be to blame,b
82、e to rent等。25. A turn out“结果是,证明是”,不用进行时态,也不用被动语态。26. A 由空格所在处句意“你有什么东西要买吗?”可知“买”这个动作不是主语“you”发出的,如果不定式中的动词与主语不构成逻辑上的主谓关系,不定式中的动词则用被动,故用to be bought。题组31. C 句意:这套公寓由一间起居室、一个厨房、一间洗澡间和两个卧室组成。consist of“由组成,由构成”,无被动语态,也不用于进行时。2. C 句意:为了欣赏景色,Irene宁愿在火车上度过漫长的时光也不愿坐飞机。would rather do sth. than do sth.“宁愿也
83、不愿;与其倒不如”。3. B 句意:我宁愿昨天没有对我的母亲粗鲁。would rather+从句,从句用过去完成时表示对过去的虚拟。4. C 句意:他是一个宁愿做而不愿说的人。prefer doing to doing“宁愿做而不愿做”。5. D 句意:干完活儿洗个澡很提神,也就是说,你会觉得很放松。refreshing“有精神的,爽快的”,用来形容事或物,本句的主语为“干完活儿洗个澡”这件事,所以用refreshing作表语;relaxed“放松的;自在的;轻松的”,用来说明人的感受,所以第二个空用relaxed作表语。6. D 句意:除了我在报纸上读到的,我对比赛一无所知。what I r
84、ead in the newspaper是except的宾语从句,并且在nothing的范围之外。7. C 句意:除了几天的好天之外,这个夏天一直潮湿,大多数时间我们不得不待在家里。except for“除之外”,用于表示从细节方面对整体的基本情况进行修正。8. D 句意:我不介意帮你从商店里取东西,并且步行对我有好处。besides“此外,而且,还有”,此处是副词。9. D 答语句意:当你回来时,将已经完成工作的一半。此句用将来的时态,只有D项是将来完成时。10. B 句意:他因在奥运会上为国家获得了第一枚金牌而被看作国家英雄。regardas“把看作”。由于为国家获得第一枚金牌而被看作是国
85、家的英雄是过去的事,所以选B。11. A 句意:半夜一场大火在市中心爆发。happen和break out是不及物动词或短语,不能用于被动语态。break out多指地震、火灾、疾病等突然爆发。12. C 句意:花园里的花儿闻起来很香,吸引了众多参观者。现在分词作定语,在此句中相当于:which smell sweet13. A 句意:“这棵树如此高。”“是啊,它有20米高。”measure是表示主语的某种属性特征的动词,常用主动形式表示被动意义。14. C 句意:格林先生站起来维护那个16岁的男孩,说他不是该受责备的人。to blame是主动形式表被动。Section C VOCABULAR

C “我”同意对方的观点,但从however可以看出不是完全同意,排除A 项。如果选A 项,前面的转折连词应该去掉;若选B项,与前面的回答矛盾;若选D 项,however改成and,故选择C项。2. B 回答对方看法时用I don
95、t think so.;I have no idea意思是“我不知道”,在此不合题意;You look nice today“你今天看起来很漂亮”,与后面的答语意思不符。故选择B项。题组21. D 考查情态动词表猜测,否定猜测用cant。2. A if not是if they are not very careful about the flu的省略;however是副词或连词,“无论如何;不过”;if so“如果是这样”;besides“除此之外,还有其他的”。3. D if possible意为“如果可能的话”。问句意为“对即将到来的假期你有什么计划吗?”答句为肯定回答,if possib
96、le符合题意,故选D。4. C wash down“冲下”。句意为“我妈妈不得不就着一大杯水吃下一把药片”。5. A consist of“由组成”,不能用于被动语态;若选make up须用被动形式be made up of。6. B “must+ have done”表示对过去事实的推测,意为“(过去)一定做了某事”;“should+ have done”表示“过去应该做而实际上没有做”;“wouldnt+ have done”常用于虚拟语气;“cant+ have done”表示“过去不可能做了某事”。7. B 句意为“经过一整天的工作,他想放松一下”。relaxed“(人)感到放松的”;
97、relaxing“令人放松的”;tired“劳累的”;tiring“令人劳累的”,应用relaxing修饰time。8. D 过去分词added作events的后置定语,表被动,意为“项目被加上”。9. B surprised作状语,表示托尼站起来领奖时的心情。10. A himself作chase的逻辑宾语,意为“他被追逐”。11. A 表达“想要干某事”可以用“would like+带to的不定式”,“feel like+动名词”或“would rather+动词原形”。12. D 根据情景“The cake is very sweet.”可推断出一定放了很多糖。must have don
98、e表示“过去一定做了某事”。13. C 句意为“她不仅在白天做全职,晚上还在餐馆里工作。”as well as表示“不仅,还”。题组31. B 句意:为了成为冠军,你需要付出你的一切和努力。根据you need to give all you have and try your best“你需要付出你的一切和努力”可知,前面应该是目的,意为“为了成为冠军”。2. C 句意:“你认为第11届中国全运会是成功的吗?”“是的,绝对是!它是最好的。”absolutely“完全地,绝对地”;relatively“相对地”;approximately“接近地”;fortunately“幸运地”。It co
99、uldnt be better.是比较级的否定式表达肯定意思,“它好得不能再好了”,即“它是最好的”。3. D 句意:孩子们,现在我接着昨天的故事讲。take over“接管,接手”;take on“呈现”;take in“收容,欺骗”;take up“继续,占用”。4. A 句意:他朋友给他的花儿如果不每天浇水会死的。从句中的主语是花儿,主句中的主语也是花儿,所以从句省略了主语the flowers和系动词are。花儿是被浇水,所以用被动语态。5. B 句意:“你想出去散步吗?”“是的,我想。”此句省略了动词不定式的动词,只保留不定式符号。Section D CULTURAL CORNER题

109、h.没有必要做某事,是固定句型,A、C、D三项明显不合这一结构。句意:走着去只有五分钟的路程,因此没有必要这么匆忙往车站赶。2. C on是介词,后面应该用名词或动名词。arrive是动词,arrival是名词,又因of介词短语的修饰,应该选择C项。句意:恭贺你宝宝的降生。3. A on arrival=on arriving一就。由于后面没有表示地点的词,故不选择B 项,而应该选择A 项。句意:他一到就被卖给一个农场主,开始在田里劳动。4. D arrive at接小地点;arrive in接大地点;而且reach和get to也可以表示到达,但选项中介词搭配不准确。句意:代表团上星期一抵达
110、伦敦。5. D arrive是不及物动词,接名词作宾语时,应借助于介词。而reach是及物动词,它后面可以直接跟宾语。home是副词,前面一般不用介词,所以该题的正确答案是D项。6. A 本题考查短语辨析。work on从事;work in插进,引进;work for为工作;work as作为工作。理解句意可知只有A项最为合适。7. A be marked with标有。句意:标有那位著名运动员名字的衣服整年都有好的销量。8. B without是介词,后接名词或动名词,排除A 项。stop作为名词讲时,前面常加不定冠词,排除C项。再根据空格后面的by短语,排除D项。故本题选择B项。9. B
111、根据句意“他看了一个小时的电视,八点钟他停下来(看电视)去做作业”,可知本题用“stop to do sth.”表示“停下了正在做的事情去做另一件事”。10. C pick up搭乘旅客。分析句意:可知应该选择stop to do sth.停下来去做另一件事。句意:公共汽车司机停下来把车站的乘客带走了。11. B protectfrom保护免于伤害,stop/keepfrom阻止以免发生。主语是花,根据常识花草树木应该受到保护,所以本题应该选择B 项。12. A 本题考查词语辨析。custom传统风俗、习俗;habit个人习惯;practice习惯性的某些事情;exercise练习。根据句意选
112、择A 项。句意:在欧洲国家,感恩节来临的时候,用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市民集会场所是一种风俗。13. D hobby(业余)爱好;嗜好,消遣。habit习惯,侧重于强调一段时期内不自觉地形成的,并且不易去掉的个人习惯。custom习惯,习俗,指经过一段较长时间而形成的社会或地区性风俗。根据句意,选择D项。题组21. C 句意为“当他年老时,肯定会把自己的生意移交给他的儿子。”take over“接收,接管”;think over“仔细考虑”;hand over“移交”;go over“复习;翻阅”。2. A transport,名词,“交通工具”;traffic“交通”;transportati
113、on“运送,运输”;bus“公共汽车”。根据句意“我想去听音乐会,但没有交通工具”可知选A。3. B 考查There is no need for sb. to do sth.句型。句意为“小学生没有必要整天趴在桌子上学习”。4. A 考查It is no wonder句型。第二句句意为“难怪他们看起来那么相像”。5. B think over“仔细考虑”;take over“接管,接收”;turn over“交给”;hand over“移交”。6. A with后接复合宾语,现在分词作宾补。7. C 句意为“火箭的构想起源于古代中国,并在整个世界发展起来。”date back要与to连用,表
114、示“追溯到”;originate in“起源于”。found“创立”;create“创造”,与idea不搭配。8. B 此处origin指“血统”,Asian origin“亚裔”。source“(江河等的)发源地;事情的起因”;resource“(矿产、能源等)资源”;standard“标准”。9. C 句意为“这种苹果更贵,因为是从国外进口的”。10. C with是介词,后面加名词、代词或动词-ing形式;as作连词也有“随着”的意思,但后面要加句子。句意为“由于产量上升了60%,这家公司又有了一个丰收年”。11. D 句意为“没有必要告诉他了,他已经知道了”。there is no n

134、ess than eight hours a dayB Easter is a movable festival celebrated on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25. We dont know exactly how this festival came into being. Some believed that it honored Easter, the goddess of spring time and sunrise. Her name came from the word “east”, where the sun rises
135、. Every spring, northern European people celebrated the Festival of Easter to honor the awakening of new life in nature. Later, Christians(基督徒)related the rising of the sun to the Resurrection of Christ(耶稣的复活)and to their own spiritual(精神的)rebirth.On Easter, eggs are painted with bright colors to re
136、present the sunlight of spring. They use these eggs to take part in Easter-egg rolling contests or give them to others as gifts.The Easter bunny is another representative of this festival. The Easter bunny came from pre-Christian(公元前)times. The rabbit, a very fertile(多产的)animal, was a natural symbol
137、 of new life. Nowadays, children enjoy eating candy bunnies and listening to the stories about the Easter bunny, who brings Easter eggs in a fancy basket.40.

139、ere are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days, however, especially those celebrated in western countries often owe their origins to a particular pe
140、rson. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mothers Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. The Christian Church a
141、dopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years this custom was gradually forgotten, and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all the
142、ir love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important peoplepoliticians, churchmen, doctors, city officials and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mothers Day into the state. The date
143、 chosen was May 10the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis mother died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mothers Day throughout the United StatesSoon there was a
144、 Mothers Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.Anna Jarvis, the sad and disillusioned woman, died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken o

148、wn as the Spring Festival because it starts from the beginning of spring. Though there are some sayings about its origin, all agree that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese means “year”, was originally the name of a beast that started to eat people the night before the beginning of a new year.One
149、 story goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would eat a great many people at one time. People were very afraid of it. One day, an old man came to their help and said he would stop all this. He said to Nian, “I hear that you are very strong, but can you eat up all the beasts on earth in
150、stead of people who are too weak to be your enemies?” “Yes,” Nian agreed with him and went to kill many of the beasts on earth. People were very happy because those beasts also did bad things to people and killed their farm animals from time to time.After that, the old man, who was a god, rode on th
151、e beast Nian and left. Nian was gone, and other beasts also went into forests. People began to enjoy their happy life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper-cuts on their windows and doors at each years end to drive Nian away, because red is the colour the beast felt most a
152、fraid of.From then on, every year at the beginning of spring, people prepare to “Guo Nian”. The words “Guo Nian” mean “Go through the Nian safely.” Putting up red paper-cuts to drive Nian away and making dumplings to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household. However, people today have long f
153、orgotten why they are doing all these, they just feel that the colour and the food make the New Year very enjoyable.48. How did the old man stop Nian from eating people?A.

Nian is a tall beast that likes to eat farm animals.C. Nian is afraid of paper-cuts. D. Nian doesnt like to use
156、his own mind.EPersonally, I like Chinese New Years movies very much. Because they are filled with joyous themes, and this kind of movie is a good choice for people who finally finish a years hard work and wish to add some refreshment to their new year.And it proved to be true that Chinese New Years
157、movies are in need, for they were well received by common people in the late 1990s. However, after less than 10 years of flourishing, they are facing a great decline in box office income.I think the failure of Chinese New Years movies is for two reasons: lack of creation and low quality of productio
158、n. The audience are not fools. They watch movies in order to get satisfaction, happiness and enlightenment(启发),not to be tricked by meaningless, same stories. If a movie tells a boring story, how can filmmakers expect applause(鼓掌)from the audience?And at the same time we hope that directors choose a
159、ctors and actresses carefully. The success of a movie is mostly determined by a fine story and good performances. If performers arent able to communicate a characters emotions exactly, no matter how wonderful the story is, the movie may be a failure. So a popular New Years movie is Be There or Be Sq
160、uare (Bu Jian Bu San), directed by Feng Xiaogang. Its a story about love and life. The hero is a Chinese who struggles hard in the US. One day, he meets a girl from Beijing. The two share the same goal: making their fortunes in America. After a series of ups and downs, they fail to realize their dre
161、ams. But, they finally fall in love with each other and decide to go back to China to make a brand new start.Feng is good at providing humorous and simple lines with deep and strongly felt meaning. As far as the audience is concerned, it was acceptable and interesting. And the leading actor and actr
162、ess showed superior performances. They cooperated so well and acted so naturally that it seemed they were truly a pair of lovers.From the simple but moving story, I got a lot. Besides money and fame, there are many other beautiful things worth pursuing(追求)and loving.Good stories and actors are what
163、the audience desire. Whether Chinese New Years movies will last in the New Years market depends mostly on the filmmakers attitude towards movie production. I hope that in the coming new year, I can spend several hours in a cinema enjoying a good movie instead of just chatting with my friends to esca
164、pe a boring movie.52. From the passage we know _. . A. the author thinks highly of the present New Years movies B. the author is complaining about some New Years movies C. people dont need New Years movies now D. none of New Years movies are well produced 53.

165、 movies should solve the following problems except _. A. lack of creation B. low-quality of production C. directors choices of actors and background D. simplicity 54. One of the things that make the author like the movie “Be There or Be Square” (Bu Jian Bu San )is _. A. humor, simplicity and satisfa
166、ctory end B. nature, enlightenment and sad background C. good theme, good performances and a new start D. creation, good production and natural performances55. Film-makers attitude to movie production will _. A. mostly determine whether the New Years film market will last B. determine the success of
167、 the future Chinese movies C. mostly determine whether the Chinese New Years movies will last in the New Years film market D. determine Chinese film market. 阅读表达In fact, laughing has many physical and psychological benefits.

Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The
206、girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”I looked at my shabby slipcovers(家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could su

The Hebrew(希伯来语的)word Hanukkah(also written Hannuka or Chanukah)mea
213、ns dedication(奉献). It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev(犹太教历九月),which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the Festival of Lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them
214、follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough oil to keep the sacred light(神灯)burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the
215、people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick called a“menorah”(传统犹太人用的大烛台)that holds nine candles.

228、 January and February答案与解析1. C “由组成”可表达为consist of或be made up of。 2. D 从题干中的答语句意可知,这个座位已经有人坐了,说明结果,所以应该用现在完成时的被动语态。3. C 考查非限制性定语从句。具体到某一天,要用介词on;“介词+关系代词which”引导非限制性定语从句。4. C 句意为“当他妈妈进来时,这个男孩假装正在读书”。pretend to be doing“假装正在干”。5. C 第一个空泛指“一名篮球运动员”,所以用不定冠词;come to an end为固定短语,意为“结束”。6. D relaxing“令人放松
229、的”;relaxed“(人)放松的”。 7. D 句意为“暑假期间我去北京,注意到许多站名是用英汉两种语言标记的”。mark“标记”,与其逻辑主语station names之间是动宾关系,因此用被动语态。从主句谓语动词went,noticed可判断从句应用过去时。8. B 句意为“我家房子附近有一个大公园,它一直延伸到山脚下”。extend“延伸,伸展”,指延展物体的长度、宽度,延伸或扩大某一事物,也可指延长时间、期限等,也指伸开四肢或躯体;spread“蔓延,扩散”,指向四面八方扩大范围;expand指扩大面积或体积;develop“发展”。 9. C 句意:“你认为我应该采纳谁的建议?”“
230、这得由你决定。”It doesnt matter“没关系”;Thats it“就是这样”;Its up to you“由你决定”;Thats all right“不用谢”。10. B revive“使兴起,使再流行”;review“复习,回顾”;revise“温习;修改”;reveal“揭露”。根据句意“(随着时间的推移)很久以前消失的一些古老风俗现在由于各种原因又兴起了”,可知B项正确。11. C dressup as“把装扮成”;save up“攒钱”;look sb. up“拜访,看望某人”;take up“占据;从事”。根据句意“其中一个学生把自己装扮成一只兔子”可知C项正确。12.
231、C 第一个when引导宾语从句,表示将要发生的事情,故用will come。第二个when引导时间状语从句,其谓语动词应用一般现在时表将来,故C项正确。13. C 从问话中可知,目前正发出噪音,也就是说机器正在被检测,需用进行时的被动语态。14. A 句意为“那道菜尝起来味道很美,很快就被吃光了”。tasting delicious作原因状语,taste作系动词时无被动语态。 15. D 句意为“据报道那位女演员三天前失踪了,后来她的尸体被发现藏在灌木丛中”。hide既是及物动词又是不及物动词,但在使用时,它与主语往往是动宾关系,空格处用hidden作主语补足语。16. C 考查上下文暗示。第
232、三段提到,两个孩子和他们的母亲上了作者的车。可见,当时只有作者独自在车里面。all alone“单独的”,符合题意。patient“耐心的”;silent“安静的”;noisy“吵闹的”。17. D 考查语境中动词的辨析。“我”注意到一位妇女背负着袋子,她的两个孩子一个拿着南瓜,另一个拿着袋子。noticed“注意到”,符合题意。admitted“承认”;recognized“承认,认出”;realized“了解;意识到”。18. A 考查语境中形容词的辨析。她的两个孩子,一个拿着南瓜,另一个拿着袋子。the other“两个中的另一个”,符合题意。the others“其他的”;anothe
233、r“另外一个”;else“别的”。19. B 考查语境中介词的辨析。“我”猜想他们正朝马路对面的车站走去。across“在对面”,符合题意。from“来自”;through“穿过”;towards“朝向”。20. B 考查语境中连词的用法。“我”猜想他们正朝马路对面的车站走去,因为带这么多东西到附近的任何一个小区都太远。since一般用于表示“由于大家已知的事实”,符合题意。because的语意较强,着重指直接的原因或理由;for表示附带说明的理由或推断理由;as所表示的原因或理由是“附带的”。21. D 考查上下文暗示。从第一段可知,作者是坐在车里,从最后一段可知作者是残疾人,因此他与人说话
234、时是摇下车窗,因此选择D项。bag“袋子”;car“小汽车”;face“脸”。22. A 考查语境中副词的辨析。“我”摇下车窗问他们是否确定是到车站去。indeed“确实”,此处用来肯定自己说话的语气。really“真实地”,主要用于强调与事实或现实不相违背;truly“真正地”,强调客观存在的真实性;actually“事实上”,侧重于实际的事,而不是凭空想象或推测的事。23. C 考查上下文逻辑。对“我”的询问,那位母亲的反应是说“是的”。respond指对刺激的反应,特别是对紧迫的或指定问题的回答,符合题意。repeat“重复”;reply指对他人的陈述或问题给予回答,常与介词to搭配;r
235、eturn“回报”。24. B 考查生活常识。当在困难中,有人乐意帮助,反应当然是兴奋的,故选B。worried“担心的”;anxious“焦急的”;satisfied“满意的”。25. C 考查上下文逻辑。文章开头提到作者见到有困难的人决定去帮助,文章最后作者谈到了自己帮助别人的快乐。因此别人打算接受他的帮助时,他非常高兴,故选C。interested“感兴趣的”;disappointed“失望的”;surprised“惊讶的”。26. A 考查上下文暗示。前面提到作者是开车的,因此他是开车到路边的。故选A。running“跑步”;riding“骑车”;walking“步行”。27. D 考
236、查上下文逻辑。后面提到那位母亲和作者坐在一排,因此孩子们是挤进了车的后排,因此选D。right“右边”;left“左边”;front“前面”。28. B 考查语境中动词的辨析。“我”马上决定送他们到家,约有一英里半的路。decided“决定”,符合题意。realized“意识到”;intended“打算”;tried,“试图”。29. C 考查语境中动词的辨析。孩子们喋喋不休,谈论着有关他们自己的事情。chattered“喋喋不休地谈论”,符合题意。cheered“欢呼,喝彩”;shouted“高声谈笑”;quarreled“争吵”。30. B 考查语境中名词的辨析。能走这点路并且知道“我”的
237、一丁点努力对一位辛苦的母亲来说意义不同,这让“我”感觉很好。effort“努力”,符合题意。fun“有趣的事情”;progress“进步”;decision“决定”。31. D 考查语境中名词的辨析。“我”的一丁点努力对一位辛苦的母亲来说意义不同。difference“不同”,符合题意。promise“承诺”;separation“分离”;interest“兴趣”。32. A 考查语境中形容词的辨析。“我”不确定谁从中获得的更多。sure“确实”;afraid“恐怕”;true“真实的;正确的”;real“现实的”。33. B 考查语境中形容词的辨析。这件事对“我”来说是非常特别的。speci
238、al“特别的”,符合题意。typical“典型的”;particular“特定的”;extraordinary“离奇的”。34. A 考查语境中动名词的辨析。“我”经常处在帮助的接受一端。receiving“接受”,符合题意。sending“发送”;collecting“收集”;returning“返还”。35. D “我”经常处在帮助的接受一端,现在“我”明白了,对他人有用的感受特别好。useful“有用的”,符合题意。simple“简单的”;successful“成功的”;unusual“非凡的”。36. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Any old papers, lady?”可知。3
239、7. A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知当作者看到他们穿着满是雪的拖鞋时应是对他们很同情。show pity on“对同情”。38. B 细节理解题。根据第七段中“Your cups match your saucers.”可知小女孩认为拥有配套的茶杯和茶托就是富裕的。39. B 推理判断题。根据第七段中“They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.”可推知。40. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should
240、begin to forget how rich I am.”可知。41. B 细节理解题。根据文中第一段最后一句及第二段第二句可知,光明节一共庆祝八天。42. B 细节理解题。根据第二段可知。43. C 深层理解题。根据第一段对光明节由来的介绍和第三段第一句可知现在犹太人在光明节期间用一种特别的烛台是为了纪念神圣的灯油的奇迹。44. B 细节理解题。由第一段可知是庆祝2 000多年前犹太人的胜利。45. A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了光明节的历史及其庆祝方式。46. B 推理判断题。第一段“欧洲人和北美人还在冰天雪地里行走时,悉尼人已处在炎炎夏日里了”,说明不同的地方气候各不相同。47. B
241、 细节判断题。第一段描述了同一时间两地气候的差异,故B项说法是错误的。48. A 词义猜测题。第五段中先出现kicked off the 1998 season,然后描述了悉尼节的盛况,故kicked off为“启动”之意。49. D 细节理解题。第七段中的“They citys shops still benefit from the festival.”说明D项正确。50. C 主旨大意题。全文围绕悉尼节的产生原因及活动的盛况进行描述,故选C项。单元练测卷(三). 单项选择1. Not only _ polluted but _ crowded. A. was the city; were

248、Mary felt cold, so she stood _ to her mother. A. closeB. closelyC. closedD. closing答案与解析1. C 句意:这个城市不但被污染了,而且拥挤。not only放在句首句子应用部分倒装。2. C 句意:马上出发,否则你将错过头班火车。考查句型:祈使句+or+简单句。3. D 句意:我们度假后回家,结果发现我们的宠物狗受伤了。only to do表意料之外的结果。4. B 句意:我的妹妹,一个没有经验的骑手,被发现正坐在自行车上努力地保持平衡。空格处的动词与主语my sister构成主动关系,即try这个动作是my
249、sister发出的,所以用trying表示她主动“设法/尝试着保持自行车平衡”。5. A 句意:他发现一个陌生人半夜正在商店周围闲逛。此句考查observe sb. doing sth.“发现某人正在做某事”。由at midnight可知用现在分词表示正在进行。6. D 句意:你们中的一些人可能已经结束了第一单元,如果这样,你们可以进行第二单元。if so=if you have done that/so7. B 句意:尽管这个国家一个多世纪以来在政治上独立于其他国家,但在经济上,它需要邻邦的支持。naturally“自然地”;economically“经济上地”;especially“特别,
250、尤其”;luckily“幸运地”。8. A 句意:坏天气意味着火箭推迟48小时发射。mean后既可跟不定式(to do sth.),又可以跟动名词(doing sth.),两者内涵是有很大区别的,前者表示“故意去做;成心去做”,而后者表示“意味着要做”。9. C 句意:尽管他们已知道无望,但他们仍坚持尝试。when在此的意思不是“当的时候”,而是“尽管,虽然”的意思。10. B 句意:在一些地方,女士被希望挣钱,而男士在家做家务并照顾孩子。表示对比,意为“然而”。11. A 句意:航空公司情况每况愈下,工人们挣的钱几乎不能养家。工人们是被发工资,而选项中只有A项为被动语态,故符合题意。12.
251、D 句意:我的父母给我们提供15 000美元,我们买那所房子吗?考查“提供,供应”等用法辨析。provide,supply,offer都有“供给,提供”的意思。provide的常见结构:provide sth. for sb.;provide sb. with sth.;supply的常见结构:supply sth. to sb.;supply sb. with sth.;show的意思为“展示,展现”;offer的常见结构:offer sb. sth.;offerfor“为出价买”。13. C 句意:爱好和平的人们确实认为伊拉克的暴力冲突到该结束的时候了。It is time that句式中
252、,that引导的从句常用一般过去时表虚拟语气。A项时态不对;put an end to sth./bring sth. to an end均为及物动词短语,应该用被动语态。14. D 句意:“没必要着急,因为表上显示我们大约还有10分钟的时间。”“哦,别傻了,墙上的表慢5分钟,难道你不知道吗?”考查There is no need to do句式。由该句式可排除C项。lately“最近,近来”;later“较迟的;较后的”;late“迟,晚”。15. A 句意:雪下得很大。小玛丽感觉冷,因此靠近她的妈妈站着。close作副词表示“接近地,挨近地,紧紧地”,指距离上的近;closely表示“仔细地,紧密地”,指抽象意义上的“接近”。牛哥的小弟原创,2 1 世纪教育$网*版权所有,违者必究牛哥的小弟原创,2 1 世纪教育$网*版权所有,违者必究 牛哥的小弟原创,2 1 世纪教育$网*版权所有,违者必究
