10、vour, James Cooks, met Joseph Banks, who was appointed _ president of the Royal Society 10 years ago.A. /; /B. /; theC. the; theD. the; /【答案】D【解析】考查冠词。句意：1768年，奋进号的指挥官詹姆斯库克遇见了十年前被任命为皇家学会会长的约瑟夫班克斯。第一空特指奋进号的指挥官，用定冠词the，第二空president表示头衔前面不加冠词，故选D.2. - Why do you suggest we buy a new machine? - Because
11、the old one has been damaged _.A beyond reachB. beyond repairC. beyond controlD. beyond description【答案】B【解析】【分析】【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：你为什么建议我们买一台新机器？因为这个旧的已经损害无法修理。 Abeyond reach够不着； Bbeyond repair无法修理； Cbeyond control无法控制 ；Dbeyond description难以形容。根据“Why do you suggest we buy a new machine?”可知，你为什么建议我们买一台

14、engthenB. whom; strengthenC. who; be strengthenedD. who; to strengthen【答案】C【解析】考查强调句和虚拟语气。句意：是习近平主席在4月19号参观了海军，要求加强海军力量。本句是强调句，基本结构是：It is/was+强调部分+who/that+其余部分。urge后加宾语从句，从句用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用（should）+动词原形，此处省略了should，故选C。【名师点睛】在表示建议、命令、要求、忠告等动词的后面的宾语从句中要用虚拟语气，由于这些动词本身隐含说话者的主观意见，认为某事应该应不应该怎么样，这些词语后面的that
15、从句应用虚拟语气，且均以“should+动词原形”表示这种语气，但事实上should常被省略，故此句中谓语动词用原形，常用的此类动词有：1. wish后的宾语从句2. 表示“坚持”insist后的宾语从句3. 表示“命令”order、command后的宾语从句4. 表示“建议”advise、suggest、propose、recommend后的宾语从句5. 表示“要求”ask、demand、require、request后的宾语从句6. 表示“投票”vote后的宾语从句7. 表示“安排”arrange后的宾语从句8. 表示“希望”“打算”desire，intend后的宾语从句9. 表示“指示”

18、B. was attendingC. will be attendingD. will have attended【答案】C【解析】考查动词的时态。句意：你能来机场接我吗？我想去，但恐怕当你回来时我正在开会。根据语境指的是when you return.，正在做某事，故用将来进行时，所以选C项。9. Never shall I forget that poem and the inspiration provided for my first novel.A. whichB. thatC. itD. what【答案】C【解析】试题分析：C考查代词。我永远也不能忘记这首诗歌和它给我的第一本小说给
19、我的灵感。这里inspiration后面是定语从句，关系代词省略。定语从句还缺少主语the poem，用it特指前面的that poem，所以选C。考点，考查代词10.

21、课时候，每一分钟都对学生有好处。everyminute与make 之间是被动关系，When madefulluseofto studyourlessons =wheneveryminuteis madefulluse ofto studyourlessons.make full use of的宾语是every minute，of后面用to study表示目的。makefulluseoftime to do sth 充分利用时间来干某事 when made是省略结构。故选B.12. In Shangri-la the peaceful world, who had discovered how
22、to stay young forever.A. did people liveB. lived peopleC. people livedD. were living people【答案】B【解析】【分析】【详解】考查完全倒装。句意：在香格里拉，一个和平的世界里住着发现如何永葆青春的人们。本句考查完全倒装，地点状语In Shangri-la提至句首引起全句全倒装，谓语动词提前，即lived提前，故选B。【点睛】13. 【2018江苏97校联考】Congratulations on your girlfriends being offered the job.Thank you, but sh

Why didnt you call me then?Oh, my cell-phone was power off.
24、 I _ you otherwise.A. would callB. had calledC. have calledD. would have called【答案】D【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：-为什么当时你不给我打电话?-哦,我的手机没电了。否则的话我会给你打的。此处相当于if条件状语从句中与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，主句用would /should /could/might +have+过去分词，指如果我手机当时有电的话我会给你打的。故选D.【名师点睛】含蓄虚拟条件句就是将条件从句隐藏在上下文一定的短语中的一类条件句，比如将条件隐含在不定式短语中，分词短语中，介词短语中，名词短语中，或某些
25、连词(如or, or else, otherwise等)中，将条件隐含在定语从句中，将条件隐含在一定的上下文中，等等。如：To have studied harder, you would have passed the examination.你学习更用功些，你早就考及格了。(=if you have studied harder, you)Failing this time, what would you do？假若这次失败，那你怎么办？(=If you failed this time, what)Without air, no one could live.没有空气，人就不能活。(=I

51、cy the yuan was devalued (贬值) against the US dollar for three straight days in mid-August, the world felt the effects. As CNN put it: “If China sneezes, the world catches a cold.”Why does it matter so much?The exchange rate is the term for the comparison of two currencies. It says how much one curre
52、ncy is worth in terms of (换算) the other.“Exchange rates play an important role in a countrys level of trade. It is one of the most important determinants (决定因素) of a countrys relative level of economic health,” wrote Jason Van Bergen of F. A higher currency makes a countrys exports more expensive an
53、d imports cheaper, and vice versa (反之亦然).Devaluation means the same amount of RMB can be exchanged for fewer USD. For example, on Aug 11, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was 6.23, which meant $1 was worth the same as 6.23 yuan. Two days later, the rate changed to 6.4, meaning the value of RMB had dr
54、opped by 2.7 percent.So what does a weaker currency mean for our lives?It first affects those who want to travel to, or study in, the US. If your former classmate is leaving for a preparatory (预科) school in the US at the end of August, it now costs about 1,800 yuan more to exchange currency for 10,0
55、00 US dollars than it did earlier this month. However, since many currencies have decreased in value, the value of yuan is still relatively high despite the recent devaluation. This means it costs 1,200 yuan less to get 10,000 Canadian dollars now than it did in March.Even if we dont have plans to t
56、ravel abroad, though, we could still be affected. For example, your mother will have to pay more if she buys directly from overseas websites with US dollars. And chances are that imported chocolate and potato chips will soon be a bit more expensive in your local supermarket.However, the weaker yuan
57、is good news for Chinese exporters. It makes Chinese exports less expensive and it could boost the overseas sales that have been among the main reasons for Chinas economic growth during its rise over the past 30 years.Just as Erik Britton of Fathom, a London-based economic consulting firm, told The
58、Guardian: “Were all going to feel it: well feel it through commodities (商品), not just from China but from everywhere that has to compete with it; and well feel it through wages.”“The devalued yuan will force Chinas Asian rivals (竞争对手), such as Indonesia and South Korea, to compete even harder,” wrot
