Athe one BoneCthat Dit解析：选A
3、考查代词。句意：测试结果不是老师想看到的，但是它确实反映了学生的能力。result是可数名词单数，此处表示特指，所以用the one。4I was so moved by the language I nearly _， as if speaking at my daughters wedding.Alinked up Bplugged upCchoked up Ddammed up解析：选C考查动词短语辨析。句意：我被这种语言感动得几乎哽咽，好像在我女儿的婚礼上说话一样。choke up“(因感情激动而)哽咽”，符合语境。link up“把连接起来”；plug up“把塞住”；dam up“

6、more people will know from the newspaper.Acover BcoveredChave covered Dwill be covering解析：选D考查时态。句意：“运动会的开幕式什么时候举行？在星期六下午吗？”“不，在星期天。我们会对此进行报道，那样更多的人将会从报纸上知道。”根据语境可知，“我们去报道在星期天举行的运动会开幕式”为发生在将来的事情，同时“对运动会开幕式的报道”为一段时间内持续进行的动作。由此可知，本题的时态为将来进行时。8Had you explained the objective, I _ the assignment sooner.
7、Amight complete Bcould have completedCwould complete Dshould have completed解析：选B考查虚拟语气。句意：如果你早解释了目标的话，我是能够更快完成任务的。Had you explained the objective相当于If you had explained the objective，这是与过去事实不相符的虚拟语气，所以主句用could have done结构，意为“本能够却没有”。9How did you get to your forum last week?All flights _ because of t
8、he terrible weather, we had no alternative but to go there by train. Acancelled Bto cancelCwere cancelled Dhaving cancelled解析：选A考查独立主格结构。句意：“上周你们是怎么去论坛的？”“由于恶劣的天气，所有的航班都被取消了，我们别无选择只好乘火车去那里。”分析句子成分并结合句意可知，句中无连接词，逗号不能连接两个句子，所以空处应为非谓语动词；cancel与其逻辑主语all flights之间构成动宾关系，故用过去分词cancelled。10The heavy snow i

10、易滑倒。第一空：people my age为固定用法，意为“我这个年龄的人”。第二空：关系代词which指代ice，在定语从句中构成to slip on the ice的结构。11Actually _ works hard can be _ he wants to be, whether it is a scientist, an astronaut or a manager. Aanyone; whatever Bno matter who; whoeverCwhoever; whatever Dwho; no matter who解析：选C考查名词性从句。句意：事实上，无论是谁，只要努力工
11、作就可以成为任何他想成为的人，无论是科学家、宇航员还是经理。分析句子成分可知，第一空引导主语从句，在从句中作主语，此处应用whoever或anyone who，表示“无论是谁”；第二空引导表语从句，在从句中作表语，表示任何想要成为的人，只能用whatever。故C项正确。12John decided to hold on to all the ancient vases that he had and never sell one, _ people might pay for it. Ahowever BwhateverChow much Dno matter how解析：选B考查状语从句。
12、句意：约翰决定保留全部他拥有的古董花瓶，而且一个也不会卖，无论人们出价多少。分析句子成分可知，本句为状语从句。从句中谓语动词pay缺少宾语，结合句意可知whatever符合题意。13_ the home and with much surprise we remember that it is our own home, every inch of it our own belongings appeared to us so desirable a place. ANever does BNever didCNever has DNever had解析：选C考查倒装。句意：我们想到，这是我们
13、自己的家园，每一寸土地都归我们自己所有，这使我们感到十分惊讶，因为我们从未发现家园竟是如此令我们心驰神往。去掉两个破折号中间的插入语，就是Never has the home appeared to us so desirable a place。14My friend Jenny cares a lot what others think about her.No wonder she is always _. Alike a cat on hot bricks Bmore brave than wiseCwalking on eggs Dheart and soul解析：选C考查习语。句意
