时间：30分钟　 分值：53分
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．(2013·濮阳二模)— Many visitors like to spend their holidays in Qinhuangdao.
— ________ That's an ideal place for a vacation.
A. Nothing serious.
B. I couldn't agree more.
C. That's all right.
D. I don't agree with you.
答案与解析　B　根据答语的第二句“That's an ideal place for a vacation.”可判断说话人同意对方的观点。I couldn't agree more“我完全同意你的意见”，因此最佳答案为B。
2．(2013·长春四调)He told me ________ news that he got a new job in ________ excited whisper.
A. /; an B. a; /
C. the; an D. a; the
答案与解析　C　news是不可数名词，且其后有同位语从句限定，第一空应加表示特指的定冠词the; in a whisper为固定短语，whisper前有不定冠词a，又因其前有excited修饰；所以第二空前用an，故选C。
3．(2013·保定一模)To be honest, I don't want to get a job ________ I'm chained to a desk all day. It will bore me to death.
A. that B. what
C. where D. which
答案与解析　C　句意：诚实地说，我不想找一个整天把我束缚在桌边的工作。这会把我烦死的。分析句子结构可知a job是先行词，表抽象地点；横线后面的从句中缺少地点状语，故用关系副词where引导定语从句。
4．(2013·济南4月模拟)He has three part time jobs, which ________ about $14, 000 a year.[]
A. call for B. bring in
C. make up D. turn out
答案与解析　B　句意：他做了三份兼职工作，一年给他带来14 000美元的收入。call for“要求”； bring in“引进；赚得”； make up“编造；化妆”； turn out“结果是；证明是”。根据句意可知，答案B符合语境。
5．(2013·石家庄一模)After a day's exhausting climb we arrived at ________ we had been told was Garden in the Air.
A. what B. which
C. that D. where
答案与解析　A　句意：经过一天筋疲力尽的攀爬，我们终于到了那个被称为“空中花园”的地方。分析句子结构可知，at为介词，后面是一个宾语从句，we had been told为插入语，宾语从句中缺主语，故用what。故答案选A。
6．(2013·安徽江南十校联考)— I regret ________ you that your application has not been successful.
— Not successful I performed pretty well in my interview!
A. informing B. to inform
C. having informed D. to have informed
答案与解析　B　句意：——我很遗憾地通知你你的申请没有成功。——没成功？在面试中我表现得很出色呀！本题考查非谓语动词作宾语。当某一动作在regret之后发生时，regret后需加to do作宾语；当某一动作在regret之前发生时，regret后需加doing/having done/to have done作宾语。本句中inform后于regret发生，故选B。
7．(2013·福建质检)More public kindergartens ________ preschool kids can spend their fun filled childhood will be built this year.
A. to which B. with whom
C. in which D. from where
答案与解析　C　句意：今年将建立更多的公立幼儿园，学前儿童将在那里度过充满乐趣的童年。根据固定搭配，spend time in some place/in doing/on sth.，由此可知，此处选用介词in, in which＝where引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词more public kindergartens。故答案C符合语境。
8．(2013·安徽名校联考三)— Tom fails to pass the exams!
— Pardon I ________ something else just now.
A. thought about B. am thinking about
C. was thinking about D. have thought about
答案与解析　C　根据语境可知对方说话时，自己在考虑其他事情，对方的说话对于听话人来说已经过去，所以用过去进行时。
9．(2013·开封5月模拟)One more week, ________ we will accomplish the task better.
A. or B. but
C. unless D. and
答案与解析　D　句意：再给一周时间，我们就会更好地完成任务。前后分句为顺承关系，故选and。
10．(2013·洛阳考前热身)— Shall I stay with you
— Well, I would rather you ________ me alone for a while.
A. to leave B. leave
C. left D. leaving
答案与解析　C　答句句意：我宁愿你让我独自待一会。would rather其后接宾语从句，从句用虚拟语气。根据语境可判断出从句是与现在事实相反的假设，故谓语用一般过去时。
11．(2013·东北三校一模)________ we go to the McDonald's I'm sick of the food there.
A. Need B. Can
C. Shall D. Must
答案与解析　D　句意：我们非要去麦当劳吗？那里的食物我吃腻了。can和shall与we连用，用于一般疑问句表示建议，或请求对方的允许，很显然不合本句要求。must“必须；偏要”；need“需要”。本句说话者表示不想去麦当劳，故答案为D项。

A. enjoys B. will be enjoying
C. is enjoying D. will have enjoyed

A. where was it that B. that it was where
C. where it was that D. it was where that

14．(2013·山东省实验诊断性测试)My boss made ________ clear that one third of us will have to leave next month.
A. it B. us
C. that D. this
答案与解析　A　句意：我的老板明确表示下个月我们中三分之一的人将不得不离开。it是形式宾语，that引导的从句是真正的宾语。

A. serves B. served
C. is served D. was served[]

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(原创题)
Net users are optimistic that a 25 year old Tsinghua University graduate who accepted a job as a chengguan in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region can help to reverse (扭转) the group's negative image.
The student, Xiao Wei, graduated two years ago before applying for the job－one that some of his new colleagues questioned as the right choice for a Tsinghua graduate. The main responsibility of the job is to monitor the sanitary (卫生) conditions of the streets. Moreover, reports about chengguan having conflicts with street vendors (商贩) have increased in recent years. But Xiao Wei said that he is happy to take the 1,600 yuan monthly job and contribute to maintaining( 维护)the city's environment and sanitation conditions.
As a result, some people have wondered why a man with a good education background would apply for such a job. []
Wei said he did not try to look for job in the first two years after graduation because he was afraid of the pressure that came with employment.
According to Xinhua News Agency, more Tsinghua graduates are taking grassroots jobs, of whom nearly 50 percent choose to work outside Beijing last year.
According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, employment pressure for college graduates is increasing, with 3 million new graduates having difficulty finding a job.
Like his mother, many Net users are also supporting Wei's decision, saying that workers with a higher education may be more insightful and can help raise the quality level of some workers who have angered the public by abusing their power.
“I am hopeful that fresh minds like Wei entering the chengguan force will be able to bring much needed reforms to the old system，” said Net user Caijie.
Net user Yuexi added that Wei was clever to take the job, saying that his university degree is likely to help him get promoted quickly.
But some people like Net user Maya said that it was a sad day for Tsinghua University, which trains the nation's brightest students to do more with their education. But Xiao Wei has wasted his education by taking such a job.
Net user Maowuya disagreed, however, saying that working as a chengguan is similar to serving as a civil servant.
Others, meanwhile, did not understand all the debate. “So a Tsinghua graduate has decided to become a chengguan－it's not that big of a deal. Why should all of the school's students become officials or entrepreneurs (商人)？” wrote Net user Kouxiangtang.
36．We can learn from the passage that Xiao Wei's mother hold a(n) ________ attitude to his decision.
A. negative B. supportive
C. disapproving D. disappointed
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。由第七段第一句话可知小韦的妈妈支持他当城管。
37．Xiao Wei didn't search for a job two years ago because
________.
A. he was born into a wealthy family

答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段最后一句可知，本题答案为D项。[]
39．What can be the best title of the passage
A. Tsinghua Graduate Takes on New Job as Chengguan
B. New Graduates' Employment Pressure
