15、my brother or you and for what reason?” Tom at once answered,“Your brother.

37、于不断的情绪控制之下。”2.【解析】选C。“pick up”在此处意为“恢复”，句意为“他现在怎样了？正在慢慢地恢复吗？”“get up”意为“起床”，“come up”意为“出现”，“rise up”意为“起来”。3.【解析】选D。此题考查过去分词作后置定语的用法。根据题意，空格所缺为定语，但A、C两项为动词短语只能作谓语；B项表示过去经常但现在不再有的动作；而D项used to send是过去分词作后置定语，相当于定语从句“that was used to send”，意为“被用来发送”。此句意思为“用来发送电话信号的第一颗卫星叫晨鸟。”4.【解析】选C。本题考查句型“would rath
38、er othan do”，意为“宁愿做（前者）而不愿做（后者）”。此句意思为“为了欣赏风景，艾琳宁愿在火车上度过漫长的时间也不愿意坐飞机。”5.【解析】选C。先行词reason后接定语从句应用why引导，也可以用for which，这时其后的表语从句不能用because引导，虽然because可以引导表语从句，但其主语不能为reason。用that引导表语从句，解释reason的内容。6-10AAABB11-15BDCAB 16-20 AADCB21-25 CCBCB 26-30 DDADC11. 【解析】选B。in case (that)引导条件状语从句，意为“万一”。12. 【解析】选D。
39、由后文可知，作者和司机应是跟在“最后”一位选手的后面。13. 【解析】选C。最后一位选手是残疾人，与跑在前面的选手差距很大，故只有前面的选手开始“消失”时，作者才能注意到她。14. 【解析】选A。表示目光被吸引。15. 【解析】选B。这位妇女几乎都不能走，因此应是她的腿有残疾。16. 【解析】选A。let alone是固定短语，意为“更不用说”。17. 【解析】选A。此处应是有意识地“注视”。18. 【解析】选D。有上下文的逻辑关系判断，此处表示的是“时间”关系，叙述比赛进行到“最后”的情况。19. 【解析】选C。as引导时间状语从句，当“一边一边”讲，表示前后两个动作同时发生。20. 【解析
40、】选B。由全文判断，这位残疾妇女应是意志“坚定”。21. 【解析】选C。此处应是前来“加油助威的人群（cheering crowds）”。22. 【解析】选C。考查副词所表示的逻辑关系，上下文应是“转折关系”。23. 【解析】选B。这位残疾妇女唯一的支持者一直在终点线那儿自豪地“等着”她。24. 【解析】选C。此处应是“握着”绸缎的一端。25. 【解析】选B。绸缎的一端“系”在一根柱子上，让这位跑在最后的选手“撞线”。26. 【解析】选D。这位残疾妇女成为作者“人生”的一部分，时刻鼓舞着他。27. 【解析】选D。这位妇女参赛的目的显然不是“击败”别的选手或获奖。28. 【解析】选A。这位妇女参
41、赛是想通过自己的努力去“完成”自己想干的事情。29. 【解析】选D。这位妇女参赛是想通过自己的努力去“完成”自己想干的事情，不管是“什么”事情。30. 【解析】选C。作者受到鼓舞，再难的事情也变得“容易”了。31-35 DCBAA 36-40 ABDBC36. 【解析】选A。这是一道主旨题。参阅全文，显然本文的目的是谈体育竞技的作用：证明某国至少在体育的某一方面比其他国家强。根据最后一段可知C项是错误的；D项只是文中的一个细节。37. 【解析】选B。这是一道细节题。支持句：第二段最后一句。38. 【解析】选D。这是一道推理题。文中谈到不理智的是球迷，所以A项错。由第一段内容判断作者想说明的是只
42、考虑赢球会剥夺体育带来的乐趣，并未谈到是否真的赢球，所以不选B、C项。39. 【解析】选B。这是一道篇章理解题。全文最后一句说明，某国赢了体育比赛只能说明至少在该领域里比别国强，并不代表其他方面，显然C、D项推论不对。A项明显错误。40. 【解析】选C。根据全文，作者的意图显然是提倡全身心地投入到比赛当中去，而不要考虑输赢，否则比赛就失去了竞技的乐趣。在这一点上阿根廷做得非常好，所以答案应选C。41.getting改为going, go over是复习，get over是克服。 42.her改为his，此处指Jim的房间。 43.wanted改为wanted to, want to do st
43、h意思是想要做某事。 44.And改为But，此处 意想不到的事情发生了，所以用“but”表示转折。 45.Knew改为Knowing，现在分词做原因状语。 46.nearest改为the nearest，形容词最高级前的定冠词不能省略。 47.lay改为lie，help sb do sth, 所以“躺”动词原形为lie。 fort改为comforted, 此处动词与helped并列，时态一致。 49.去掉in, help came就是及时得到救护。 50.正确。51.a 52.how 53.has been 54.waiting 55.imagination 56.who 57.of 58.stole 59.should 60.them 61.to 62.amazing 63.which 64.because 65.it 66.was selected 67.like 68.room 69.decorated 70.to make71.that 72.when 73.whose 74.which 75.where
