10、e【答案】C【解析】第一空为类指，表自行车，用“the/a单数可数名词”或“可数名词复数”形式均可；第二空为泛指，表示一种工具，故用不定冠词a。答案C2.I never thought I would meet her again at a party _ after so many years.A. by no chanceB. by the accidentC. by accidentD. in any chance【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查副词短语辨析。句意：我从来没想到，多年以后我会在一次聚会上偶然遇到她。A. by no chance绝不可能；B. by the accident
11、（无此表达）；C. by accident偶然，碰巧； D. in any chance（无此表达）。结合句意可知，此处译为“偶然遇到她”符合语境，故选C项。3.I have to go work by taxi because my car _ at the garage.A. is being repairedB. is repairedC. will be repairedD. has been repaired【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：我只能坐出租车去上班，因为我的车正在维修店修理。结合句意可知，修车的动作应该正在发生，故用现在进行时，又主语car和谓语动词rep
12、air（修理）之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态，即现在进行时的被动语态be being done，主语是单数，故用is being repaired，故选A项。【点睛】本题考查现在进行时的被动语态，即动作正在进行同时又是被动，其结构为am/is/are being done。例如：We should choose another road, because this one is being rebuilt.我们应该选择另外一条路，这条正在被重建。Look! These birds are being fed.看，这些鸟正在被喂食。4. Its a fine day. Lets go fishin
13、g, _?A. wont youB. will youC. dont weD. shall we【答案】D【解析】试题分析：考查反义疑问句。当主句是祈使句lets时，包括说话者在内，反义疑问句使用shall we。当主句是祈使句let us.的时候，不包括说话者在内，反义疑问句使用will you.本句中主句部分是lets，故D正确。考点：考查反义疑问句5.Think about it twice, _ I think, you may change your mindA. soB. butC. orD. and【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查固定句型。句意：再考虑一下，我认为，你会改变主意。A

You can borrow my car _ you promise not
15、 to drive too fast.A. unlessB. even ifC. in caseD. as long as【答案】D【解析】句意：只要你答应不开得太快，我就可以把车借给你。本题考查条件状语从句。unlessif.not如果不；even if即使；in case以防，以上三项均不符合语境。7.Water _ into steam if it is heated to its boiling point.A. is going to be turnedB. will be turnedC. has been turnedD. is being turned【答案】B【解析】【详解】
16、考查时态和语态。句意：如果水被加热到沸点，它就会被变成蒸汽。句中if引导条件状语从句，根据is判断为一般现在时，结合主将从现原则，主句应用一般将来时，water和谓语动词turninto（把变成）之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态，即一般将来时的被动语态will be done，故选B项。8.We can communicate_people in every part of the world _the Internet.A. with；withB. with；throughC. through；throughD. through；with【答案】B【解析】考查介词的用法：communicate

18、ctice spoken English.作定语，修饰an environment，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where。故选C。10._ I came, the city wasnt so beautifulA. The first timeB. At the first timeC. The first whenD. For the first time【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查连词和状语辨析。句意：我第一次来这儿时，这个城市还没有如此美丽。A. The first time第一次（引导时间状语从句）； B. At the first time第一次；C. The firs
19、t when（无此表达）；D. For the first time第一次，介词短语。分析句子可知此处应填连词，the first time可作连词，引导时间状语从句，故选A项。【点睛】本题考查the first time和for the first time 区别，前者意“第一次”引导时间状语从句，后者意为“第一次”作为时间状语。例如：The first time I saw you, you were a little kid.我第一次看到你时，你还是个小孩子。I went to America for the first time.我第一次去美国。11. .

22、定短语。句意：锻炼是改善你健康的关键。此处考查短语the key to doing sth做的关键，to是介词，其后接动名词，故选B项。14._ is known to everyone, the moon travels round the earth once every month.A. ItB. AsC. ThatD. What【答案】B【解析】试题分析：考查定语从句。As指代后面一句话的内容，引导非限制性定语从句，在本句总做主语。句意：正如每个人都知道的那样，月球一个月绕着地球一圈。故B正确。考点：考查定语从句点评：As指代后面一句话的内容，引导非限制性定语从句，在句中做主语，宾语。
23、有正如的意思。15.-Mom, is Dad coming to pick us up?-Yes, I am sure he _ on the platform when we pull into the station.A. standsB. stoodC. has stoodD. will be standing【答案】D【解析】【分析】考查时态。【详解】句意：妈妈，爸爸会来接我们吗？会的，我确信当我们进站时他会正站在站台上。根据句意 when we pull into the station指的是将来的时间，stand则是将来正在进行的动作，要用将来进行时态。故选D。第二节：完型填空（共

48、关于旅客乘坐飞机携带物品的一些安全须知以及收费标准。【36题详解】细节理解题。由Safety Rules中的“For the safety of our passengers, the following items must not be taken onto the plane:Bottles containing gas （e.g. cigarette lighter”）可知，气瓶不允许乘客带上飞机。故选B项。【37题详解】细节理解题。由Note中的“If you have any liquid medicines over 100ml that you must use during
49、your flight, please contact our customer service manager on 34533566 to make arrangements at least 24 hours before your departure.”如果您在飞行中携带超过100毫升的液体药品，请在起飞前24小时联系我们的客户服务经理34533566。所以乘客至少在他们起飞前一天联系经理，说明一下在飞机上要携带100毫升以上的药水。故选D项。【38题详解】细节理解题。由Bag Fees中的“Overweight*Bags heavier than 10 kilos*100 per k
50、ilo over limit”可知，超过10千克的包，每超过一千克，收费100 ，所以一个110厘米x50厘米x25厘米、重13公斤的随身包，乘客要支付3x100=300。而包的尺寸并没有超过图表中所给出的尺寸“110cmX60cmX30cm”，所以不收费。故只收取超重的3千克的费用-300。故选A项。BOnly about 30 percent of people in the US know how to perform CPR (心肺复苏术).

59、ropped and broke her cellphone.可知在孩子停止呼吸的时候，父母亲总是很惊慌。所以该词表示的是A项含义。故A正确。【41题详解】C 细节题。根据文章第三段第3句I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, Go and ask your parents to call 911,” Rohm said.可知Rohm看见这两个男孩的时候，她向他们求助，请他们拨打911。故C正确。【42题详解】A 观点态度题。根据文章最后一句“If the little boy hadnt shown me what to
60、 do right there, my baby would probably not be alive right now,” Rohm said.可知Rohm说：如果这个孩子没有告诉她任何进行心肺复苏，她的孩子可能就会去世。可知她对他们充满感激。故A正确。考点：新闻报道类阅读理解CEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, youve completely forgotten what you went for?

61、s weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get be
62、tter with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed
63、 that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on
64、cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push
