1、2015高考英语（附解析答案）.单项填空1Have you _？No.I had the wrong number.Agot inBgot awayCgot off Dgot through解析 考查动词短语的区别。get in“插话，收割”；get away“离开；走开”；get off“下车”；get through“接通电话，完成，到达，通过”，由此可知该题的答案为D项，意思是“你打通电话了吗？”答案 D2So far nobody has claimed the money_in the library.Adiscovered Bto be discoveredCdiscovering
2、 Dhaving discovered解析 考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：迄今为止，没有人认领在图书馆里发现的钱。因discover与money之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语。答案 A3There were many talented actors out there just waiting_.Ato discover Bto be discoveredCdiscovered Dbeing discovered解析 考查不定式的被动式作目的状语。解答这类题时，一定要弄清非谓语动词和主语之间的逻辑关系。句意：在外面有许多有才华的演员等着被发现。to be discovered为不定式
3、短语作目的状语。discover与其逻辑主语actors之间为动宾关系，且discover动作是将要发生，故用动词不定式的被动式。答案 B4After that，he knew he could_any emergency by doing what he could to the best of his ability.Aget away with Bget on withCget through Dget across解析 考查get动词短语。句意：(经历过)那件事以后，他知道只要他尽自己所能就能处理任何紧急情况。to the best of尽所能；就的限度。get away with携潜

5、ice，but I couldnt_.Aget along Bget onCget to Dget through解析 考查动词词组辨析。get along“相处融洽，进展”；get on“继续，进行，上车”；get to“到达，开始”；get through“穿过，通过，读完，打通(电话)”。根据句意：我试着给她办公室打电话，但是没有打通。因此只有get through符合句意。答案 D7It is difficult to_one twin from the other.They almost dont _from each other.Adiffer； distinguish Bdist
6、inguish；differentCdistinguish；differ Dtell；different解析 distinguish表示“区分，辨别”，常构成distinguish A from B，而differ from each other意为“有区别，不同于”，相当于be different from each other。答案 C8Mum，it is nice weather.I want to skate this afternoon.Dont you think the ice on the lake is too thin to _ your weight?Acarry Bbe
7、arCcatch Dtake解析 这里的bear不表示“忍受”，而是“承受”的意思。答案 B9Hardly could he_this amount of work in such a short time.Aget through Bget offCget into Dget down解析 考查动词短语辨析。句意：在这么短的时间内他几乎完不成这么多工作。get through有完成之意，符合句意。get off下车；get into进入，陷入；get down“下车，吞下，写下”；都与句意不搭配。答案 A10It is hard for young children to distingui
8、sh right _ wrong.AwithBto CfromDbetween解析 distinguish right from wrong“辨别是与非”。答案 C11When we plan our vacation，mother often offers_suggestions.Acareful BpracticalCeffective Dacceptable解析 母亲是长辈，她所拥有的是实用的信息。建议要经过检验之后才知道是否有效，排除C项，可接受的建议不一定实用，排除D项。答案 B12Mum，weve got to be _ and buy only what we need.Oh，I

10、一个邮箱。common指“为许多人或事物所共同具有的，因而常见”；ordinary指“由于与一般事物的性质或标准相同，因而显得平常，无奇特之处，反义词为special”； usual指“在某一地方或某一时间内所常见的，往往指常用的东西，或常发生的事情，反义词为unusual”；normal同regular一样，意为“正常的，正规的，标准的”。答案 A14Start out right away，_ youll miss the first train.AandBbut CorDwhich解析 句意：立刻出发，否则你会错过第一班火车的。or否则，符合句意。答案 C15Christmas Day
