40、tted that he sometimes had to “wing it” when making public appearances and that he wanted to go out for a drink without being recognized.However，the most dramatic revelation was his reply to Sarpongs question whether he still sends his wife flowers.“Ive never sent her flowers.If I sent her flowers，s

54、entence in the last paragraph into Chinese._答案.单项填空1D首先delay doing为固定搭配；此外apologize to sb.for后加动名词结构，his为动名词的逻辑主语。2B第一次提到一个普通事物，要用不定冠词；特指一种能力，要用定冠词；“其他人，别人”用others，不加冠词。3Abe content with sth.为固定搭配，此处为形容词短语作状语，故第二空不用连词，因此选A。4A考查情景交际。从对话中可知是回答对方的请求帮助。No，thanks 与上文呼应。5Aoccasionally偶尔。6Bbe particular ab
55、out 意为“挑剔”。7B此处考查的是分词的用法。分词的逻辑主语是the flowers，分词与逻辑主语之间存在着主谓关系，所以用现在分词。8B考查词义辨析。convince sb.of sth.使某人相信，故选B项。9Bpromise后应为同位语从句，应用关联词that；entertain sb.to dinner招待吃饭，固定搭配。10B由句意“我家是那样穷以致于只有在春节才能吃上肉”可知选B，“穷的”。11B由下句可知，此处应是“辨别出，找出”；pick out辨别出，符合句意。12B13Bcount to数到，意义与本句不相符。number为逻辑主语，与total之间是主动关系，故用t
56、otalling (up to 200,000)，意思是“旅游人数合计达20万”。14C考查非谓语动词。郴州市受到了暴雪袭击，因此strike应该用被动形式struck，同时它还面临水电短缺，face这里是“面临；面对”，在本句中与主语是主动关系，应该用facing作伴随状语。15Cby引导的时间状语多用一般时态，主句往往用现在完成时态。by引导的时间表示过去意义时，主句用过去完成时态；表示将来时，主句用将来完成时态。得分策略经典例题1The introduction of the new equipment has led to many workers _.Alay offBlaying
57、offClaid off Dto be laid off错因分析许多考生会以为lead to后接省略to的不定式作宾语补足语，从而误选A，或有些考生认为many workers后接动词ed形式作宾语补足语或定语，从而误选C；也有些考生认为lead to后面接sb.to do sth.，从而误选D。其实，选项A、C不符合lead to的用法；选项D中的不定式表示将来的动作，这与句子谓语动词所表示的时态相矛盾。因此，根据lead to后面接sth.作宾语这一用法可知，many workers只是sth.的逻辑主语，正确答案选B。得分笔记如suggest，mind，lead to等这样一些动词或动词
58、短语后面一般只能接名词或动名词作宾语，而动名词前可以加上执行该动作的逻辑主语，从而构成复合结构。这些逻辑主语可以由形容词性物主代词、人称代词的宾格、名词或名词的所有格等充当。经典例题2In order to improve English，_.AJennys father bought her a lot of tapesBJenny bought a lot of tapes for herselfCa lot of tapes were bought by JennyDa lot of tapes were bought by Jennys father错因分析考生很有可能误选A项或D项。
59、其实，in order to improve English 可以看成是to improve English 的变形，根据语法知识可知，主句的主语为人，选项C或D可以首先被排除。再由句意可知，选项B为正确答案。得分笔记动词不定式的逻辑主语为执行不定式to do这个动作的人或物。动词不定式的逻辑主语可以是句子的主语、宾语，有时还可以是介词for或of的宾语。.阅读理解16B推理判断题。根据第六段和最后一段的内容可知，布莱尔有时也想过上平常人的生活。17A词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知，Sarpong对Blair进行了采访。由此可知，A项符合题意，即跟随Blair并对他进行采访。C项最具有迷惑性，
60、但是它没有突出interview，因此不恰当。18B推理判断题。文章告诉我们，Blair回答了很多在公共场合从未回答过的问题，并且自曝了很多个人隐私。如他从未给自己的夫人送过花；他的梦中情人是好莱坞美女格蕾丝凯莉，并且还说自己想做个平凡的人等。这些都说明Blair是个随和的人。19C句意理解题。第七段告诉我们，Blair在公共场合露面的间隙，总是在不停地打电话，几乎没有时间来准备他的下一步活动，所以只能是“随机应变”了。因此，只有C项符合题意，即在没有准备的情况下说话或做事。20C细节理解题。由第四段布莱尔说的话可知，他从来没给他的夫人送过花，他要是突然给她送的话，她可能会感到担心。根据第四段
61、的内容可排除A项；B项内容在文中没有提到；文中几次提到布莱尔想过上平常人的生活，因此排除D项。得分策略在阅读理解中如何猜测句子的意思？任何一篇文章的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有关。因此，可以利用上下文提供的情景或线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析，从而猜测句子的意思。除了可借鉴猜测单词和短语的方法之外，还要注意：1返回原文，找到该句子。对原句进行语法和词义上的准确分析。正确选项与原句之间往往不需要很多的推理。2一般来说，正确选项的意思与原句完全相同，只不过是用其他的英语词汇表达而已。经典例题So far scientists have focused mainly o

63、ence in the last paragraph probably means that _.Athe problem is not approached step by stepBthe researches so far have faults in themselvesCthe problem is too difficult for researchers to detectDresearch in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns答案解析D本段大意：到目前为止科学家们将精力主要集中在公共建筑上。我们的研究太少
64、，所以我们几乎是在通过吸管来看问题。怎样对具体问题作出回答？怎样拓宽并推广利用？这就是我们在共同为之奋斗的。建筑师David Allison说。故答案为D项。.阅读表达21To give some advice on how to battle boredom as you work.22If your work is short of objectives，its no wonder that work has become boring.23Change the Way to Go to Work24(1)Enjoying music；(2)Playing basketball with friends；(3)Change to another subject.25你的目标不必多么远大，只要你有足够的热情去完成它。
