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.
