— ________.
A. Don't mention it B. I suppose not
C. Never mind D. I'm terribly sorry
答案与解析　D　句意：——请不要拍照。——很对不起。此语境是阻止对方拍照。A项意为“不用谢，没关系”，用来回答感谢或道歉；B项用来发表自己的见解，意为“我认为不是这样的”；C项意为“不要紧；别介意”；D项表示因做错了某事而表示歉意，意为“实在对不起”。D项符合语境。
2．(2013·西宁质检)Just use this room for the time being, and we'll offer you a larger one ________ it becomes available.
A. as soon as B. unless
C. as far as D. until
答案与解析　A　as soon as“一……就……”； unless“除非”； as far as“远到……”； until “到……为止”。句意：暂时先住这个房子，等一有了大的房间就提供给你。由语境可知，A项正确。
3．(2013·东北三省三校二模)Recently the Chinese society has ________ a flow of new words such as “Geili” and “Shanhun”．
A. seen B. observed
C. made D. looked
答案与解析　A　see“见证；目睹”； observe“观察”； make“制造”； look“看(不及物动词，表动作)。句意：近年来中国社会目睹了像“给力”“闪婚”之类源源不断的新词汇的诞生和流行。故A项正确。
4．(2013·天津南开区二模)________ it rain tomorrow, we should have to put off the visit to the Yangpu Bridge.
A. Were B. Should
C. Would D. Will
答案与解析　B　句意：要是明天下雨的话，我们将不得不取消参观杨浦江大桥。根据从句时间状语tomorrow，可知if条件句是对将来的虚拟，故用if＋主＋should/were to do形式，if省略，should和were可提前，如选A项，从句应改为were it to rain tomorrow。
5．(2013·衡水一中二模)There was no signal in that faraway village and all my attempts ________ you failed.
A. to contact B. contacting
C. contacted D. having contacted
答案与解析　A　句意：那个遥远的村庄没有信号，因此我怎么也联系不上你。to contact you为不定式短语作定语，在句中修饰attempts。
6．(2013·正定中学二模)This is neither the time nor the place to play. Let's ________ and attend to the business in hand.
A. come up B. turn off
C. settle down D. cut in
答案与解析　C　句意：这不是玩的时间和场合，咱们坐下来专心完成手头的工作吧。come up“被提到；被考虑”； turn off“关上；关闭”； settle down“开始专心于(工作、活动等)；着手认真做某事”，符合句意。
7．(2013·合肥一中月考)Forget the past, leave the sadness behind, and you ________ the door of a new bright world open before you.
A. saw B. have seen
C. will see D. are seeing
答案与解析　C　句意：忘记过去，抛下悲伤，你就会发现一个崭新的世界向你敞开大门。这里是“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”的固定句型，陈述句中要用一般将来时。
8．(2013·杭州名校联考二)Dick enjoys painting, but he knows that he doesn't have ________ it takes to be a professional.
A. that B. which
C. what D. why
答案与解析　C　句意：Dick喜欢画画，但他知道自己成不了专业画家。分析句子结构可知，have后的部分是个从句，作have的宾语，而该从句中又缺少宾语，因此用what引导。
9．(2013·济南一中月考)Those air conditioners are our best-selling products because they are easy ________ and work with little noise.
A. handling B. to be handling
C. handled D. to handle
答案与解析　D　句意：那些空调是我们的畅销产品，因为它们操作简便，运转起来几乎没有噪音。在句型“主语＋be＋adj.＋to do”结构中，如果主语是动词do的逻辑宾语，用主动表被动。故D项正确。
10．(2013·连云港一模)When it comes to my hobbies, I like rock climbing ________.
A. better B. best
C. the better D. very well
答案与解析　B　句意：当说到我的爱好的时候，我最喜欢攀岩。此处是在所有的爱好中进行比较，故用副词最高级。

A. which B. who
C. what D. that
答案与解析　D　句意：是我们的日常决策，而不是我们的能力，显示我们的真实本质。这是一个强调主语的句子，被强调部分是“our daily decisions, rather than our abilities”，因此选that。
12．(2013·北京东城统一检测)I asked for some more cake, but there was ________ left.
A. no one B. none
C. a little D. a few
答案与解析　B　根据句中的but可知应选表示否定意义的代词，排除C、D两项。另外，no one只能代指可数名词，表示“没有人”，显然不符合题意。故选B项，none表示“全无；没有一点儿”。
13．(2013·石家庄质检Ⅱ)Though in fact he got ________， there was no doubt that he had meant to offer help.
A. in a way B. in the way
C. on the way D. by the way
答案与解析　B　句意：虽然在事实上他妨碍了工作，但毫无疑问他原打算帮忙。in a way“在某种程度上”；on the way“在路上；即将去(或来)”；by the way“顺便说一声”。in the way“造成不便或阻碍”。
14．(2013·太原二模)If you ________ go, at least wait until the rain has stopped.
A. can B. may
C. must D. will
答案与解析　C　句意：如果你非去不可，至少要等到雨停之后。 must“必须”，可表示说话人的主观看法，符合句意。can表能力或推测，may表示可能性时语气较弱，will表客观将来或意志、决心，均不符合句意。
15．(2013·扬州中学二模)— Will you please help me type these letters and e-mail them?
— ________

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·山东卷)
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 a．m. and it was already 8：30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped some one in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview？”he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
本文为记叙文，题材是个人情感与人际关系。Jimmy在去参加工作面试途中发现一位老人的车子抛锚了，于是就帮助老人修好了车，却弄脏了自己。他能顺利通过面试吗？善良的行为会得到什么回报呢？

37．What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A. A frienD s car had a flat tyre.
B. A wild man was pushing a car.
C. A terrible car accident happened.
D. An old man's car broke down.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“... he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car.”可知答案为D项。
38．Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A. He was also to be interviewed.
B. He needed a travelling companion.
C. He always helped people in need.
D. He was thankful to Jimmy.
答案与解析　D　推理判断题。老人得知Jimmy要去参加工作面试，因为帮助自己要迟到了。于是老人坚持开车把他送到面试地点。由此推断出老人这么做是出自对Jimmy的感激之情，故选D项。

A. He was sorry for the other applicants.
B. There was no hope for him to get the job.
C. He regretted helping the old man.

答案与解析　B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair”可知现在Jimmy身上弄上了油污。再根据Jimmy听到面试官的问题后心里所想“我现在的样子怎么可能通过面试呢？”推断出Jimmy认为自己这次面试没有一点希望了，故选B项。
