78、oing to start.21A感叹句式有两种：Howadj./adv.或Whatn.。句意为：当听到这个激动人心的消息时，同学们有多高兴啊！22D本题考查“make sb.过去分词”的用法。句意为：演讲者提高了他的声音但是仍不能让别人听见。make oneself heard意为“让自己被别人听到”。23B根据句子的意思分析，此处应该表示“让别人去做”的意思，所以使用have sth. done结构。24D本题根据语境考查句子结构。从答语的exciting判断，此句的主语不应该是人，故排除A项和C项。that不能用作形式主语。it作形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语。25B本题考查kno
79、w的过去分词known(相当于形容词)作后置定语的用法。known as 3M此处相当于定语从句which is known as 3M。26B“with宾语宾补”结构在句中作状语。A项缺少连词，C、D两项缺少be动词。27D考查“the比较级，the比较级”的句型。the比较级后面主谓不要求倒装。28D句意为：有一些国家因为与外界缺少联系而导致贫困。result in导致，符合题意。consist of由组成；make up组成；come across遇见。29Bbe/get used to doing sth.习惯于做某事；be used to do sth.被用于做某事。根据句意，应选B
80、项。30Badvise sb. to do sth.表示“建议某人做某事”，固定搭配；suggest也可表示“建议”，demand表示“要求”，但两个词都不可以接不定式作宾补；第二空应表示“听取；遵从”，如选listen，后应带上to。31Drefer to涉及；be intended for为而设计。32B本题考查词语辨析及句意理解。without the trouble of.表示“没有的麻烦”。33Aprotect.from表示“保护某人不受侵害”；B、C、D三项都是“阻止某人做某事”的意思。34D本题考查it作形式主语的用法。it在句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to keep order
81、 in an important football match，其他选项都不能作形式主语。35Canother泛指“另一个”。the other指“两者中另一个”；others泛指“其他人或物”。36D根据“书掉在地上”可知Mark“跪下/屈膝”帮他捡书。37Bsince由于，符合句意。38Adiscover发现；知道，其他选项不符合句意。39B“喜欢”电脑游戏，棒球和历史。40C有麻烦，有烦恼，用trouble。41Abreak up with sb.与某人关系破裂。42C被“邀请”到他家。43Dpass pleasantly过得很快乐。44Acontinue继续，根据文章，他们以后继续保持
82、联系，交往。45A由end up可知他们要“毕业”了。46C此处意为“能否一谈”。47B“提醒某人某事”表示为remind sb. of/about sth.。48Aever曾经；曾。49C“清理”干净我的书桌用clean out。50Dleave sth. for sb.为别人留下某物。51C把自己的东西回家包好。52A又说又笑talking and laughing。53B“如果”我那样做，我就会。54Dlose a friend失去一个朋友。55Dchange my life改变了我的生活。56A根据短文最后一段第一句“我怀疑今晚会不会睡得好，因为我太兴奋了”可知作者写此文的时间是在出发
83、前的头一天晚上。57B根据短文第一段内容可知：此项活动的目的是帮助美国学生了解他国文化；也使美国文化让别人了解；通过了解促进和平。而筹集资金不在其范围之内。58D可采用“首尾定位法”解题。由第二段和第四段可知，“由老师提名”是第一步，“打点行装”是最后一步。因此可断定从A、D两项中选择；再由第二段中第二句话“然后参加有关此项活动的新闻会议”是第二步，可确定答案。59C根据短文最后一段可知，对于作者来说这是一次令人兴奋的终生难忘的旅行。60D根据文章第一段，本组织是改善非洲而不是世界的种子以便取得更大丰收的组织，因此排除A与B项；第一批投资是1.5亿美元，所以选择D项。61C根据文章倒数第三段的
84、“But experts say no single crop will revolutionize farming in Africa because farmers there grow a mixture of different crops.”可得出答案。62D根据最后一段的“American businessman George Soros says he will give fifty million dollars over five years to a United Nations Project in Africa.”可知在五年中投出五千万美元，平均每年一千万美元。63C根
85、据后面的“The starting is valued highly.”可知launch与start同义，即“发起，组织”之意。64C文章第三段提到“whose schools have no uniform national curriculum”，“the problem lies at the elementary and high schools levels.”以及“Among the root causes most frequently mentioned.the low respect in which US society holds teachers.”，由此可知A、B和D
86、三项均是教育水平低的原因，选项C未在文中提及，故为正确答案。65B第二段开头，布什总统曾许诺要在接下来的十年里消除文盲，后面指出“They have a long way to go.According to Bush，there are 17 million illiterates in this country of 245 million people.”，由此可知，布什并没有实现，故选项A不对；根据布什的统计，文盲比例应为17/245，约为7%，而不是9%，故排除C；根据文章最后一句话可知，在美国，老师的地位几乎在最底层，由此可排除D；根据文章最后一段倒数第二、三句可推断出，B为正确答
