2、een Dhave been解析考查时态及主谓一致。句意为:你了解这起事故吗?是汤姆而不是他的两个妹妹在车祸中受伤了。根据句意可知题干叙述的是发生在过去的事情,要用过去时态,又因强调句强调的是Tom而不是his two younger sisters,所以谓语动词要用单数。答案A3Washing machines made in China have won_worldwide attention and Haier has become_popular name.Aa;the B/;a C/;the Dthe;a解析第一空为不可数名词,并且表示泛指所以不用冠词;第二空是指海尔变成了一个很受欢

4、er something bad had happened to her.Athey beganBdid they beginCthey had begunDhad they begun解析句意为:仅仅当他们很长时间没有收到她的来信时,他们才开始怀疑她是否发生了什么不好的事情。“only状语从句”放在句首时,句子的主谓部分要进行部分倒装;D项用了过去完成时,表示begin的动作发生在主句谓语的动作之前,显然不合逻辑,所以排除D,故选B。答案B6We have to learn to live with all kinds of pressure at times although we are
5、 leading a_life in modern society.Acompetitive BcomfortableCstressful Dmiserable解析competitive竞争(性)的;好竞争的;comfortable舒适的;安逸的;stressful有压力的;miserable痛苦的;极小的。答案B7Out_,still discussing the fashion show with great interest.Awalked a crowd of young girlsBdid a crowd of young girls walkCwere walking a crow
6、d of young girlsDa crowd of young girls were walking解析考查倒装结构。当out, in, away, there, here等副词位于句首时,且主句为名词时,常构成全部倒装。该句的正常语序是:a crowd of young girls walked out, .。答案A8We should not_and laugh at those who have no homes to shelter from the rain and wind.Instead,we should be sympathetic of them.Alook forwa
7、rd to Bthink highly ofCpay attention to Dlook down upon解析考查短语辨析。A项“盼望”;B项“高度评价”;C项“注意”;D项“蔑视;瞧不起”。句意:我们不应当蔑视和嘲笑那些没有遮风挡雨的家的人们,而是应该同情他们。答案D9The teacher suggested the dictionary_at once.Abe referred to be boughtBbe referred to being bought Creferred to be boughtDreferred to being bought解析referred to为过去
8、分词短语用作后置定语,相当于定语从句which was referred to。suggest后的宾语从句的谓语动词用“should动词原形”结构,should可以省略;该句中dictionary与buy之间存在被动关系,应用被动语态,即用(should)be bought。答案C10I left school two years ago.But when I_my school days,it seems as if they were a century ago.Alook forward to Blook out ofClook down upon Dlook back upon解析考查
9、动词短语辨析。句意:两年前我离开学校,但是当我回想起学校生活时,感觉好像一个世纪之前似的。look back upon“回想”,符合句意。答案D11Everybody knows smoking is harmful to health,but still so many people smoke.Exactly!So our country is planning to start a_against smoking.AwarBcampaignCmotionDstruggle解析考查名词辨析。A项的意思是“战争”;B项的意思是“运动”;C项的意思是“提议”;D项的意思是“斗争”。显然只有B项
10、符合答语的句意,即“的确!所以我们国家正在计划开展一项戒烟运动”。答案B12Twothirds of the money_on food and drinks for the homeless people in Japan.Awere spent Bwas spentChas spent Dhad spent解析此题考查主谓一致。money与spend之间为被动关系,故排除C、D选项;时间,金钱作主语时谓语动词常用单数,故B项正确。答案B13We had wanted to finish our task by noon,but it didnt quite_.Afind out Bgive
11、 outChand out Dwork out解析本题考查短语动词辨析。句意:我们原本想中午前完成任务,但是结果并不如愿。find out发现;give out分发;用尽;hand out分发;work out发展,产生结果。根据句意,work out为正确选项。答案D14Lucy has_all of the goals she set for herself in high school and is ready for new challenges at university.Aacquired Bfinished Cconcluded Dachieved解析本题考查固定搭配。achie
