7、案与解析】 A虽然这种事情说出来不好，但却是一个事实，作者不得不承认。3A.quarrel Baccident Ctrouble Dadventure【答案与解析】C后文所列举的例子，是作者认为由奶奶引起的麻烦事。另外后文没有出现作者与Katy争吵，故排除A项；accident“事故”；adventure“冒险”。4A.already Balways Csimply Dhardly【答案与解析】D根据前文“我已习惯看见它们”，可知此处应为已经“不去注意”他们。5A.enjoying Bpretending Cimagining Dcontinuing【答案与解析】B根据动词的用法可排除A、C两

My son hasnt returned home?_ He has been
13、a grownup.ATake it easy. BNo problem. CTake your time. DSo what?【答案与解析】A部分题意：天快黑了。我的儿子还没有回家？根据答语“He has been a grownup”可知是安慰前者，即“不用担心，他已经是大人了。”take it easy用来安慰对方不要担心，放松些。no problem用来表示同意；take your time用来指做某事不要着急，不要慌；so what表示某人认为某事无关紧要，意思为“那又怎么样”。22_ her cat might make her bed dirty, she still keeps
14、 and cares for it.AUnless BBecause CEven though DSo long as【答案与解析】C题意：即使她的小猫咪可能弄脏她的床，她仍然会继续养他们，照顾他们。unless“除非”；because“因为”；even though“即使”；so long as“只要”。根据题意可知C项符合逻辑要求。23_ how she was helping to save the environment, she said that she always takes public transportation. ATo be asked BAsking CBeing
15、asked DAsked【答案与解析】D题意：当被问到她为环保做了些什么时，她表示她一直乘坐公共交通工具。主语she与ask之间为被动关系，且ask是完成的动作，所以此处用过去分词asked作状语。24Reaching an agreement so quickly was a great_ for the meeting.Aappointment Baccess Cachievement Dapproach【答案与解析】C题意：如此快达成了协议对这个会议来说是一个巨大的成就。appointment“约会”；access“进入”；achievement“成就；进步”；approach“方法；步

17、完成时，即C项正确。26We sat side by side，watching him cross a street，_ I was never allowed to cross unless _.Athe one; being accompanied Bthat; accompaniedCone; accompanied Dwhich; accompanying【答案与解析】Cone代替a 名词，相当于前面的a street；accompany和I之间为被动关系，故用过去分词。27The mailman _ the mail twice a day in this area. Apasse
18、s Brelays Cdelivers Dreleases【答案与解析】Cdeliver“投递；传递”，多指将信件、包裹等物发送出去或交到某地；pass多指用手传递物品或口头传递信息等；relay一般指无线电等转播或把消息分程传递到某地；release“释放”。28When I got home, I found the door open. A terrible thought _mehad anyone broken into the house?Abeat Bknocked Cstruck Dappeared【答案与解析】Cbeat的常见的意思为“打；敲；打败；心跳”；knock“敲；碰
19、击；撞”；appear“似乎；看起来好像；出现”，它们的词义与题意不符。根据strike的词义不难看出答案为C项。29In my mind, _ that famous university will be the only way to become a worldclass writer.Aattending Battended Cattend Dhaving attended【答案与解析】A动名词短语作主语，表示笼统的行为，又因该句为事实性陈述语气，没有明确的时间状语，故排除D项。30If better use is _ your spare time, youll make great
20、er progress in that.Aspent Btaken Cmade of Dused of【答案与解析】Cmake use of.为固定短语。本题可以用还原法做题，即“If you make better use of your spare time.”。 31How wise of you to come round, but why?_ that all is right. ASee BTo see CSeeing DFor seeing【答案与解析】B单从答语上看，很难确定哪个是正确答案。若用“补全法”，联系问句，在头脑中补上省去的部分，便可知孰对孰错。问句中与答语有直接联系
21、的部分是“but why”，它的完整意思是 “.but why have you come round”，其完整答语应是 “Ive come round to see that all is right”。答语中省去了主、谓部分，只保留了作目的状语的不定式。32Greatly moved by what she did, _.Atears came to my eyes Bmy heart was full of gratefulnessCmy eyes were filled with tears DI could hardly hold back my tears【答案与解析】D根据非谓语
22、动词moved可知，句子的主语必须是人，而不能是物，从而可以确定本题的正确答案选D项。33What should we pay more attention to if we go north in winter, Mum?Nothing much. Take warm clothes _ the weather is cold.Aas long as Bnow that Cif Din case【答案与解析】D主要考查连词的意义及对句子间的意义、关系的理解。as long as “只要”，表示条件；now that “既然；由于”，表示原因；if“如果”，表示条件；in case“以防；万一
23、；免得”，表示条件。34The media can often help solve problems and draw attention _ situations _ help is needed.Ain; that Bto; which Cin; where Dto; where【答案与解析】Ddraw attention to 是固定词组，to作介词，后接名词、代词或动名词；第2空where在这里引导一个定语从句。35Im thinking of losing weight these days.Oh, you _ be out of your mind. Youre 50 kilog
24、rams at the most!Awill Bshould Cmay Dmust【答案与解析】D考查情态动词。由下句 “youre 50 kilograms at the most”可以推断出来，由此可知答语第1句题意为“你还减肥，你肯定是疯了”。.阅读理解ADr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project which is the largest study of humour.
