Ⅲ.单项填空
1.________in the ci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ty's commercial center,the shopping mall attracts lots of young people seeking fashions every day.
A.Having located B.To be located
C.Locating D.Located
答案:D 考查非谓语动词。句意:因为位 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )于城市的商业中心,这家大型购物中心每天都会吸引众多追求时尚的年轻人。Located in the city's commercial center在句中为过去分词短语作原因状语,相当于Because it is located in the city's commercial center,“be located+介词”表示某物坐落于某处,要用过去分词短语作状语。A、C两个选项为主动形式;B项to be located为不定式,放在句首时表示目的,与句意不符。故正确选项为D。
2.In the north of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) our town ________,which dates back to the Ming Dynasty.
A.an old temple stands
B.an old temple does stand
C.does an old temple stand
D.stands an old temple
答案:D 考查完全倒装句。句意:在我们镇 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的北部矗立着一座建于明代的古庙。句中的In the north of our town为介词短语表地点,且主语是名词,故句子要用完全倒装句,正确选项为D。
3.Because of the n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uclear crisis caused by the earthquake in Japan,many people lined up to buy salt ________ seeking protection from radiation.
A.in the face of B.in search of
C.in terms of D.in the hope of
答案:D 考查介词短语。句意:因为日本 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )地震引起的核危机,许多人排队买盐,希望以此来寻求保护以避免受到辐射的伤害。in the face of面对,面临;in search of 搜寻;in terms of从……角度而言;in the hope of怀着……的希望,抱着……的希望。由此可以判断本题要选D。
4.—Does China have cultural relics
—Yes,it is admi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tted that many cultural relics in the world,such as the Great Wall,the Potala Palace,the Mogao Caves,________China.
A.belongs to B.are belonging to
C.belonged to D.belong to
答案:D 考查belong to的用法 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。belong to“属于”,无被动语态和进行时态,故排除B项。另外,句中belong to的主语为“many cultural relics”,全句时态为现在时态,故判断应选D项。
5.I hate the way he d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eals with problems,but ________ I have to admit that he is a man with great knowledge.
A.in other words B.on the other hand
C.for one thing D.as a matter of fact
答案:B 考查插入语。句意: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )我不喜欢他处理问题的方式,然而,另一方面我必须承认他是一个博学的人。in other words换句话说;on the other hand另一方面;for one thing一方面;as a matter of fact事实上。
6.Wuhan, the capita ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l of Hubei Province, ________ on the Yangtze River, is an important city.
A.situated B.situating
C.being situated D.to be situated
答案:A 考查situated的用法。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )此处situated on the Yangtze River相当于定语从句which is situated on the Yangtze River,作定语,修饰Wuhan。
7.There ________ some problems to be solved.
A.remains B.remain
C.is remained D.are remained
答案:B 考查主谓一致以及语态。本句是一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个完全倒装句,句子的主语是some problems,所以谓语动词要用复数形式。另外,remain是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态,所以选B。
8.The most striking __ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )______ of the house was two huge poles patterned with dragons and phoenix.
A.feature B.character
C.advantage D.point
答案:A 雕刻着龙和凤的图案是“特征”而不是“性格”、“优势”、“要点”。

答案:B 短语辨析。On accoun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of 因为;in terms of 就……而言;on behalf of 代表;in place of 代替,取代。句意为:“随着经济的发展,从经济地位来说我们的国家变得越来越强大。”
10.It's said that a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ship ________ the coast was hit by a missile and went under the water.

11.—Have you drawn up that list of names yet
—No,but I'm going to________it.

C.work off D.work up
答案:B 考查work短语辨析。句意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ):——那份名单你起草好了吗?——还没有,我正打算写呢。work on从事,继续工作;符合语境。work out解决,计算出;work off宣泄感情,工作以偿债;work up努力改进,逐步发展。
12.(2012·南昌模拟)—Hello,Jessica!What happened
—I could not hear y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou clearly because my mobile phone could not receive a good ________.
A.sign B.signal C.symbol D.mark
答案:B 考查名词的用法。s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ign符号,迹象;signal信号;symbol符号,象征;mark标志,痕迹。根据句子意思,应是手机的信号不好。所以应选B。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Did you ever ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) want to see Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey in 15 minutes Then BA London Eye, is the one for you.
British Airways L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ondon Eye, formerly called as the Millennium Wheel, is situated on the south bank of the River Thames on the Jubilee Gardens. It is situated between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Footbridge in Lambeth and adjacent to (比邻) Old Country Building. It stands opposite to Houses of Parliament.
It started w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith a vision of Architect couple David Marks and Julia Barfields, who had competed for millennium ideas contest conducted by Sundy Times, a British newspaper in 1993 to welcome year 2000 splendidly. Regrettably, the contest was scrapped, but the couple persisted with their dream project by forming a company for this undertaking, eventually grabbing the attention of Evening Standard, another British newspaper. British Airways, after noticing this widely publicized article, agreed to fund, foreseeing the vital contribution of this project to London's skyline and its tourism, giving a spectacular view of this fascinating city that was otherwise not visible to the Londoners.
The entire constr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uction resembles a giant cycle wheel, with a diameter of 135m(443 ft) and weighing 1,700 tons of steel and 2,000 tons at the foundation reaching almost 30m deep! It is the largest observation wheel built so far, making even Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, look up to it. It is the 4th highest structure in London. Canary Wharf Towers, BT Tower and Tower 42 are the higher three.
The whole struct ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ure was designed in parts in various countries, later fully assembled on Thames bank. With the dedication of 1,700 workers, this structure was realized in 16 months, just in time to welcome the millennium. Tony Blair inaugurated (为……举行开幕式) it on December 31st, 1999 and a minor safety concern regarding clutching delayed its opening to public, which finally happened 3 months behind the schedule in March 2000.
1.Opposite British Airways London Eye is ________.
A.Westminster Bridge
B.Hungerford Footbridge
C.Old Country Building
D.Houses of Parliament
答案:D 细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知,“伦敦眼”的对面是英国国会大厦。
2.British Airways London Eye was founded by ________.
A.David Marks and Julia Barfields
B.Sunday Times
C.Evening Standard
D.British Airways
答案:D 细节理解题。从文章第三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一句中“British Airways...agreed to fund”可知,英国航空公司最终出资建造了“伦敦眼”。
3.British Airways London Eye is higher than ________.
A.Big Ben B.Canary Wharf Towers
C.BT Tower D.Tower 42
答案:A 细节理解题。从文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )章第四段可知,自由女神像,伦敦的大本钟以及圣保罗大教堂都没有“伦敦眼”高。后一句又提到“伦敦眼”是第四高建筑,B、C、D三项都比它高。故选A。
4.We can learn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )from the third paragraph that David Marks and Julia Barfields ________.
A.had wanted to complete their dream project on their own
B.won the first prize in millennium ideas contest
C.asked for another newspaper for help
D.would have given up their idea without British Airways
答案:A 推理判断题。从文章第三段可知,比赛 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )被取消,但David Marks和Julia Barfields成立了自己的公司,想靠自己的力量实现他们的梦想,建造“伦敦眼”,因此选A。C项未提到,D项是一种推测,不符合文意。
5.Why was the public opening of British Airways London Eye delayed
A.The structure wasn't completed in time.
B.The structure was designed in different countries.
C.Something wrong happened at the last moment.
D.People were not completely sure about its safety.
答案:D 推理判断题。从文章最后一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )可知,出于对安全方面的考虑,“伦敦眼”最终推迟三个月向公众开放。文章并没有说“伦敦眼”在最后阶段出现问题,故C项不对。
