四、阅读理解
I think it's really very good to be a doctor. On the one hand, you can save people; on the other hand, they share their experiences of life with you.
I've been a doctor in Los Angeles. To be frank, my work is terribly busy but interesting. I can always meet patients in different conditions. One 'of my patients is a successful businessman. Cancer has changed his attitude on life." Happiness is like a cookie in a boy's hand," he said. "If a young kid gets the cookie, everything will be good. With no cookie, life loses its color. When a boy becomes a man, the cookie may turn into money, a new car, or a beautiful house. "
"It took me many years to understand that the cookie never makes you happy for long. If the cookie is in front of you, you may care for it. But sometimes you may not get a chance to eat it, and then you are busy trying not to lose it. Having the cookie is not what life is about. After having cancer, for me, the cookie starts to lose its meaning. It is the most important that you can live a happy life with or without the cookie, "he said.

答案以及解析
一、单选题
1.答案:B
解析:句意:——你好,Alice。我想知道我们应该做什么。——去体育中心滑冰怎么样?考查what引导的宾语从句。根据答句的“What about going skating in the sports center ”可知,应该问的是应该做什么,故选B。
2.答案:D
解析:句意:尼克一康复就回学校了。他不想再缺课了。考查连词词义辨析。Unless除非;Whether是否;So that以便;As soon as一……就……。尼克不想再错过任何课程了,因此他身体一恢复就回到了学校。故As soon as符合题意,用来引导时间状语从句。故选D。
3.答案:B
解析:句意:——乒乓球比赛真让人兴奋。对方的队伍真的很强大。——是的,但是我从不怀疑我们队会赢。 考查宾语从句。if如果;that无意义;whether是否;why为什么。根据“...our team will win.”可知此句用that引导,无意义,不作成分。故选B。
4.答案:C
解析:句意:他几乎毫不怀疑这个项目会成功,是么?考查同位语从句和反意疑问句。“hardly”表达“几乎不”,句子是否定句。“doubt”是名词,表达“怀疑”,在否定句中接“that”引导从句“the project will be a success”。“hardly”为否定形式,反意疑问句的疑问部分用肯定形式,“had”为动词的过去式,疑问部分用“did”放在主语“he”前。故选C。
5.答案:B
解析:have...in common“有相同的特征(或特点等)”,符合语境。
6.答案:A
解析:句意:除了一扇窗户外,这所房子的其他部分仍然状况良好。other than“除了”,符合题意。
7.答案:C
解析:—妈妈,我花了一晚上准备考试。—亲爱的,你不能过度劳累,不要熬夜太晚,否则你会累坏的。A项“你不要孤注一掷”; B项“这山望着那山髙”;C项“过度劳累”;D项“入乡随俗”。
8.答案:C
解析:—我保证下学期学习更努力,李老师。—嗯,正如谚语所说,“事实胜于雄辩。”我确实希望你能立即行动起来。A项意为 “祸不单行”;B项意为“人多力量大”; C项意为“事实胜于雄辩”; D项意为“患难见真情”。
9.答案:C
解析:考查连词辨析。since自……以来, 既然, 常用来引导时间状语从句或原因状语从句; that (没有词义)引导从句; whether是否; unless除非, 常用来引导条件状语从句。分析句子结构可知, 空后为宾语从句, 故排除A、D两项; that本身没有词义, 放在句子中语义不完整, 故排除B项。此处表示"在你向别人寻求帮助之前, 先弄清他是否是解决你问题的合适人选"。故选C。
10.答案:B
解析:句意:你能告诉我明天在邵东是否将会有一场会议吗?考查宾语从句。if there was going to be是否将会有,是过去将来时;if there is going to be是否将会有,是一般将来时;whether there is going to have形式错误,正确形式应将have变为be。根据题干可知,此处是一个宾语从句,根据句意和句中的“tomorrow”可知,从句中应用一般将来时态。故选B。
