1.[2015·天津十二区县联考]Only when our project has been approved of by the committee ________ we start to carry it out.
答案:can 考查倒装句。“only+状语”位于句首,主句要部分倒装,根据句意可知填can。句意:只有我们的项目被委员会批准了,我们才可以执行。

答案:as/though 根据结构可知考查as/though引导让步状语从句引起的倒装。其中的名词/形容词/副词/动词提前。句意:尽管我尽力去做,我仍不能明确这个复杂句子的含义。
3.[2015·江苏南京市盐城市二模]My voice was so little, and the shop owner had to bend down to hear ________ it was that I wanted to buy.
答案:what 考查强调句型中的宾语从句。从句式结构it was that可知该题中含有强调句型,可直接去掉,使句子结构简单化。从句中缺少宾语,故填what。句意:我的声音太小,以致于店主不得不弯下腰听我要买什么。
4.[2015·福建龙岩毕业班联考]________ he ________ (predict) the disaster, he couldn't have taken his girl friend to the 2015. New Year's Celebration at the Bund, Shanghai.
答案:Had; predicted 根据句子结构可以判断该题考查虚拟语气中省略if后引出的倒装,主句使用“wouldn't have done”可知该虚拟条件表示与过去相反,省略if后要提前Had。句意:如果他能预见灾难发生,他就不会带他女朋友去上海外滩参加新年庆祝活动了。
5.[2015·陕西西工大附中二模]Little ________ we know that the region was rich in natural resources about four decades ago.
答案:did 根据句式结构分析。可以判断该题考查否定词位于句首而引起部分倒装,结合下文中的“was”使用一般过去时,可知答案是did。句意:四十年前我们几乎不知道这个区域有丰富的自然资源。
6.[2015·江苏四市一模]“Not until I knew much about the Nanjing Massacre”,the foreigner says“________ I understand the significance of setting the National Memorial Day”.
答案:did 根据句式结构分析,可以判断该题考查否定词位于句首引起的部分倒装句,从上文中的knew可知答案是did。句意:“直到我了解了南京大屠杀,我才明白设立‘全国哀悼日’的重大意义。”那个外国人说。
7.[2015·湖南郴州质检二]It doesn't matter if they want to come to your birthday party, ________ it?
答案:does 考查反意疑问句,根据反意疑问句的原则,反意疑问句一般以主句为依据,根据it doesn't matter转换为反意疑问句,故用does。句意:他们来不来参加你的生日派对并不重要,对吗?
8.[2015·浙江温州二模]It's not what you love in your life but ________ you have in your life ________ matters.
答案:what; that 第一空考查“not...but...”句式,强调句型强调的主语被“not...but...”连接起来,主语从句中缺少宾语,故用what;第二空为强调句型中的that。句意:在人生中不是你喜欢什么重要,而是你人生中拥有什么重要。
9.[2015·陕西宝鸡联考]It was the culture, rather than the language, ________ made it hard for him to adapt to the new environment abroad.
答案:that 考查强调句型。强调的是句子的主语,主语被rather than连接起来。句意:是文化而不是语言,使他很难适应国外的环境。
10.[2015·安徽黄山质检二]If you go to the wildlife park, you'll find the places there more dangerous than commonly ________ (suppose).
答案:supposed 考查省略句,suppose与逻辑主语places之间为被动关系,因此填过去分词supposed。句意:如果你去野生动物园,你会发现那些地方比认为的危险很多。
11.[2015·四川德阳二诊]________ (give) a push, an object will move forward and do work.
答案:Given 考查非谓语动词用法,该结构从外形上看与“祈使句+and/or+陈述句”相似,但本句没有连词,所以要注意。give与an object的关系为被动;故应填过去分词。句意:一件物体给一个推力,它就会向前移动而运行起来。
12.[2015·天津河东区一模]-Did you finish your work?
-No, I wasn't able to, ________ you?
答案:were 考查反意疑问句。句子主语I在反问时换为you, 动词为were,故答案是were。句意:——你完成工作了吗?——没有,我不会,你呢?
13.[2015·北京朝阳区一模]Comparison may make something appear more beautiful than it is when ________ (see) alone.
答案:seen 考查省略句。省略的是“主+be”,其中see与something之间为被动关系,故填seen。句意:对比会使一些事物看起来比单独被看时的本色更美。
14.[2015·北京西城区一模]So heavy ________ the load that I felt great relief after taking it off.
答案:was 考查“so...that...”句式中把so的整体部分提前放在句首时的倒装。正常顺序“The load was so heavy that...”。句意:这个负担很重,以致于在卸下来后,我感到如释重负。
15.[2015·陕西渭南一模]On the top of the hill ________ (stand) a temple ________ the old man once lived.
答案:stands; where 第一空考查全部倒装,主谓颠倒,主语是a temple,故谓语用单数,第二空考查定语从句,先行词表地点,且从句中不缺主语和宾语,故填where。句意:山顶上有一座庙,庙里曾住着一位老人。

2.So 考查so的倒装用法。根据句子意思“我也是这样认为的”所以用so。
3.has been working 考查现在完成进行时。分析句子结构空处是作谓语,根据“is likely to win”和时间状语“for months”知一直在准备直至现在还在进行中,所以用现在完成进行时。
4.But 根据前后完整的两个句子之间的逻辑关系知是转折,所以用but。
5.himself 分析句子结构是作宾语,根据意思是让他自己放松一下,所以用himself。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
[2015·江西八校联考]There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”
“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “my physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn(撒满) with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The King continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “Oh King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”
Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.
“The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.
“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came emptyhanded into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.
本文主要讲述了亚历山大大帝临死前的三个愿望和他想传递给人们的一些启示。
1.The first paragraph suggests that Alexander ________.
A.was conquering many kingdoms
B.realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all
C.wanted to leave as he came empty-handed
D.regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things
答案:B 考查推理判断。根据文章第一段的“Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence”可知,亚历山大大帝意识到他一生中所得的对他来说毫无意义,故B项正确。
2.The underlined word “clutches” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.sentence B.attention
C.control D.shadow
答案:C 考查词义猜测。sentence“判决”;attention“注意”;control“控制”;shadow“阴影”。根据第三段的“They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death”并利用代入法可知,本句句意为“他们是无能为力的,并不能拯救一个人免于死神的控制”,即C项正确。
3.The author intends to________.
A.tell us the story of Alexander
B.introduce readers to the instructive lessons of Alexander
C.stress the power of Alexander the Great
D.persuade people to realize what Alexander said
答案:B 考查写作意图。根据第一段的第一句话可知,B项正确。
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Death of Alexander
B.The Greed of Alexander
C.Three Wishes of Alexander
D.The Life of Alexander
答案:C 考查主旨大意。本文主要讲述了亚历山大大帝死前的三个愿望和他想通过这三个愿望传递给人们的启示,故C项正确。
1.instructive adj. 有益的;有指导意义的
2.involve vt. 牵涉;涉及;使卷入
3.sharp adj. 锋利的;敏锐的
4.depart vi. 离开;出发 5.precious adj. 宝贵的

Ⅳ.短文改错
[2015·河北石家庄一模]One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.
Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.
Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

Dear Editor,
I am sorry to learn that some students, especially girls, have been reported to have disconnected or been killed after taking a taxi.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Jun
One possible version:
Dear_Editor,
I_am_sorry_to_learn_that_some_students,_especially_girls,_have_been_reported_to_have_disconnected_or_been_killed_after_taking_a_taxi. To prevent such happenings, I'd like to offer some suggestions to students in terms of taking a taxi safely.
Firstly, before you get into a taxi, you had better check to see whether it's a licensed taxi or an unlicensed one. It's always safer to take a licensed one, although it might be more expensive. Then, you should look at the plate number carefully and try to remember it (so that the driver can be found out, if anything happens). Thirdly, sit on the seat behind the driver, which is the safest place in the car. Finally, don't bend your head over your mobile phone all the way but keep your eyes on where the driver is going. If you find something wrong, ask the driver to stop the car immediately.
If everyone follows these rules, they won't be taken in easily by bad drivers.
Yours,
Li_Jun
