27、”的活动，这个活动是3年前我们的前任校长发起的。根据句意选A项，应为“赞助”这一活动。2B句意：她和她姐姐外貌相似，但性格不同。analyze分析；resemble像；concentrate集中精力于；substitute用代替。根据句意答案为B项。3D句意：你很有艺术天赋。只要你竭尽全力，一定会创作出优秀的艺术作品。as long as引导条件状语从句，意为“只要”。4B句意：他们不可能在晚会上露面。There is no chance that.没有可能，为固定句型。所以答案为B项。5C第二句是倒装句。因句中主语较长，采用了倒装语序，正常语序为：Our alumni from home a
28、nd abroad are attending the ceremony of the 50th anniversary this morning.。6CThe Minister of Finance财政部长。an expert in finance财政专家。第一个要大写，专有名词，第二个小写，普通名词。7D考查动词expose的用法。句意：当心不要把孩子们置于不良书籍和杂志的影响下。children与expose之间为被动关系。exposed to意思是“使暴露于(日光、风雨等)；受到风险；使面临”。8Cin defence of sb.为某人辩护。句意：他给经理写了一封信为她辩护。9B考查
29、名词辨析。句意：你今天的话与你昨天所说的互相矛盾。in contradiction with“与矛盾”。conversation“会话，谈话”；convention“大会，习俗，惯例”；contribution“贡献，捐助”。10D考查动词词义辨析。前句的主语为UN，是United Nations的缩写形式，即它代表the United Nations，应看成是一种符号形式，故应用stand for；represent强调“代表”或“代言”之意。11A根据语境可知此处表示“我赞成现在停止工作”。in favour of表示“同意，赞成”，符合语境。in order of按照的顺序；in pla
30、ce of取代；in process of在进行中，都不合题意。故选A。12A句意：我们已经同意了撤销对新闻自由的限制。故选A。13Bmajority多数；minority少数；quantity数量；quality质量。根据句中的信息词but可知，此处表示少数，be in a minority意为“占少数”，符合语境。故选B。14D本题考查词义辨析。句意：她生我的气，所以故意说这件事令我不愉快。由句意可知此处deliberately“故意地”正确。truly真实地，真诚地；sincerely真诚地；cheerfully高兴地。故选D。15B句意：他怎么想就怎么说，不考虑别人的情绪。regard
31、less of意为“不管；不顾”；other than除了；rather than“而不是”和instead of“不是”不合题意。故选B。.【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记。文章介绍了电影Crash的编剧Moresco不顾各种困难，坚持不懈，最终走向成功的故事。1B根据第一段最后一句话Fearing their ridicule.可知，他害怕被别人嘲笑，所以不敢告诉任何人他去学习的事情。因此，B项正确。2C根据第三段内容以及第四段第一句话的his reputation可知，这部作品使他开始出名。因此选C，其他几项与原文内容不符。3B根据第四段第三、四句话可知，电影公司都拒绝采用他们的脚本，因为
32、他们认为没有人会愿意看这种灾难性的电影。由此可知，B项正确，即没有哪个电影公司对他们的脚本感兴趣。4A通读全文可知，A项的排序正确。5D根据文章中描述的内容可知，Moresco面临困难的时候毫不退缩，而是勇往直前，坚持不懈。根据最后一段中Moresco说的话可推知，他认为坚持做自己想做的事是一定会成功的。由此可知，D项determination(决心，毅力)正确。A项意为“机会”；B项意为“才能”；C项意为“友谊”。【语篇解读】这是一则选拔演员的广告，除了对一些细节进行说明之外，还对剧中人物的特点进行了介绍，以便应聘者可以对照自己的才艺应聘。6C推理判断题。根据这则广告最后“We are al
33、so selecting male and female supporting roles with powerful high or low singing voices”可知这是在选拔演员，而不是要人们去观看演出。7A细节理解题。根据文中的“Opening：1 JANUARY 2011 TO 14 JANUARY 2011”可知演出的时间是2011年1月1日至14日。8B正误判断题。根据Preparation for the Audition部分的“Opera in English is acceptable”可知B项内容错误。9D细节理解题。在人物栏中，第一个是Nellie Lovett
34、，其中介绍的是comical and humorous，所以，如果Wendy想演这个角色的话，她需要具有滑稽、幽默的特点。10A细节理解题。Jason 15岁，高音，他适合饰演Tobias Ragg。因为配角要求年龄在18岁以上(包括18岁)，所以他不适合试演配角，故选A项。.1.His family did manage to send him to a technical school.2Is there any chance of getting the tickets?3Sitting in the front are the leaders of the school.4As long as I live，I will help you.5The reason why I bought one was that it was so cheap.
