(第一组)
1.Farmland ______ quickly,so they are considering ______ a programme to solve the problem.
A.is getting lost;starting B.is lost;to start
C.is losing;starting D.loses;to start
解析:consider作“考虑”解时,只能跟动名词作宾语,不可接动词不定式,排除B、D两项;C项中is losing属语态错误,故排除。全句意思为:耕地在快速减少,因此他们在考虑开展一项活动来解决这个问题。
答案:A
2.—The railway station,please.I have to be there in ten minutes.
—______,but I’ll do my best.
A.No problem B.OK C.I can’t promise D.I can’t do that

答案:C
3.______was known to all,William had broken his promise ______ he would give us a rise.
A.As;which B.As;that C.It;that D.It;which
解析:从句意分析,promise后是同位语从句,因此首先排除A、D两项;如果用it作形式主语,all之后不能用逗号,故选B项。
答案:B
4.We have to finish the job,______.
A.long it takes however B.it takes however long
C.long however it takes D.however long it takes
解析:本题考查however引导的让步状语从句的语序。however引导让步状语从句时,however及其所修饰的词应放在从句句首。故选D。
答案:D
5.—Excuse me,I want to have my watch fixed,but I can’t find a repair shop.
—I know one nearby.______I’ll show you.
A.I’m sorry. B.Come on.

答案:B
6.—Happy New Year to you,Ling Ling!
—______
A.The same to you. B.The same as you.
C.Thank you. D.Good luck!
解析:对别人的祝愿要依据具体的情况回答。The same as you.一般不能用于对祝愿的回答,排除B;别人向你祝贺新年,仅仅回答“Thank you.”是不完整的。应回答“Thank you.The same to you.”,排除C;Good luck!为祝愿用语,也应排除;The same to you.一般用于双方互致祝愿,故选A。请比较:—Happy birthday to you,Ling Ling.—Thank you.
答案:A
7.—The cinema was ______ fire last night.
—Someone must have set fire ______ it.
A.on;with B.on;on C.on;to D.with;to
解析:本题考查fire短语的意义和用法。on fire意为“着火,燃烧”,强调状态,主语为燃烧物。set fire to...相当于set...on fire,意为“放火烧……”,强调动作,主语为人。常见短语还有catch fire,意为“着火”,强调动作,主语为燃烧物。
答案:C
8.—I’ve got some wonderful news.We have been invited to the palace ball.
—Really?______.
A.I don’t believe so B.I believe not
C.I can’t believe it D.I don’t believe it
解析:当对一件事的发生表示惊奇和难以相信时,可以说:I can’t believe it.(我真不敢相信这是真的。);当对别人的观点表示同意时,常用的答语是:I believe so.(我想会的;我想是的。);如果不同意,可以说:I believe not.或I don’t believe so.(我想不会;我想不是。)
答案:C
9.—I am going to travel to America.Would you consider telling me about your experiences there?
—______.Let’s discuss it over dinner.
A.That’s all right B.By all means C.Go ahead D.It just depends
解析:本题考查短语的使用。That’s all right.表示“没有关系”,是在别人道歉后的安慰语;by all means意为“可以;当然行;没问题”;go ahead意为“干吧,说吧”;It(just)depends的意思是“这很难说,得看情况”。本句意为“没问题,咱们吃饭的时候谈谈吧”。参见“重点单词2”。
答案:B
10.—Excuse me,are you traveling by train or meeting someone?
—We are ______ the three o?clock train to Shanghai.
A.traveling B.waiting C.taking D.setting
解析:如果“乘坐……”作状语,英语中用“by+单数名词”或“(其他)介词+不定冠词或代词或形容词+名词。如果作谓语,英语中用take。如:(1)We took a taxi home(=We went home by taxi/in a taxi).(2)He went home by bike/on his old bike.
答案:C
11.—Would you like another cup of coffee?
—______.
A.Yes,I like some B.Yes,I’d like to C.Yes,please D.Yes,thanks
解析:请别人吃或喝点什么,常用“Would you like ...?”。如同意,要说“Yes,please.”或“Just a little,please.”。如不同意,要说“No,thanks.I’ve had enough.”或“I’m full,thank you.”。B项是用来回答“Would you like to do sth.?”的。
答案:C
12.______there is something else to discuss,I’ll declare the meeting closed.
A.As B.While C.Since D.Unless
解析:本题考查连词在语境中的应用。as可表原因,意为“由于”,也可表时间,意为“在……的同时”;while可表时间,意为“正当……的期间”,也可表转折,意为“尽管”;since可表时间,意为“自从……以来”,也可表原因,意为“既然,由于”;unless表条件,意为“除非,如果不”。分析语境和语意,根据逻辑可排除A、B、C三个选项。
答案:D
13.If you want to change for a double room,you’ll have to pay ______$15.
A.another B.other C.more D.each
解析:本题考查代词的使用知识。表示“再,另”,用another或more。但结构不同:another有两种结构:(1)another+单数名词;(2)another+数词+(表示整体概念)复数名词。more表示这个意思时,必须放在数词之后,构成“数词+more+复数名词”结构。如:five more persons。
答案:A
14.I can guess you were in a hurry.You ______ your sweater inside out.
A.had worn B.wore C.are wearing D.were wearing
解析:本题考查动词时态的用法。第二句是判断You were in a hurry.的依据,应该使用与现在有联系的时态,故排除A、B、D三项。全句意思为:“我猜你当时很匆忙,(因为)你现在反穿着羊毛衫。”
答案:C
15.Our educational system must prepare our citizens to be persons who have respect for nature ______ for mankind and persons who want to enrich the world.
A.as well as B.such as C.the same as D.as to
解析:全句意思为“我们的教育应该将公民教育成热爱自然、热爱人类、热爱那些为世界富有而工作的人”。根据句意,首先排除B、C两项;as well as意为 “除……之外;也;还”;as to意为“至于;关于”。
答案:A
16.—How much are these bananas ______?
—Five yuan.
—Oh,it’s not expensive ______.
A.at all;at all B.all;in all C.in all;at all D.at all;in all
解析:in all意为“总计、总共”;at all意为:①(用于否定句)全然、完全、根本、丝毫。②(用于疑问句)究竟、到底。③(用于条件状语从句)既然、果真。
答案:C
17.I have never dined with you,sir;and I see no reason ______.
A.how can I know B.how I ought to know
C.why shall I know D.why I should know
解析:定语从句中应该使用陈述语序,首先排除A、C两项;reason后的定语从句多由why引导,故排除B项。
答案:D
18.Mr Smith ______ the first bus,otherwise he should have arrived here by now.
A.should have missed B.must have caught
C.must have missed D.might miss
解析:参见“必背句型4”。
答案:C
19.Which do you enjoy ______ your weekends,fishing or watching TV?
A.spending B.to spend C.being spent D.spent
解析:本题易受思维定势的影响误选A项,因为enjoy后多接动名词作宾语,可是此句中enjoy的宾语是which,其后不必再使用宾语了,而应该用不定式作状语。
答案:B
20.—What’s the matter with Mary?
—She wasn’t invited to the ball,but she still ______.
A.hopes so B.hopes that C.hopes to D.hopes it
解析:本题也很容易受思维定势的影响误选A项。根据so的使用规则,当so表示“这样、如此”之意时,可用来替代整个句子或某一情况的全部。可是从句意看,她希望的是受到邀请,而不是She wasn’t invited to the ball,所以本题应选C项。hopes to是hopes to be invited的省略。参见“必背句型3”。
答案:C
(第二组)
1.—How about some more coffee?
—It’s very kind of you,______.
A.I enjoyed it very much B.That’s all right
C.It tastes nice and sweet D.Just a little,please
解析:如果选用A项或C项,问句应改成How do you like the coffee?(你认为咖啡怎么样?);That’s all right.表示“没有关系”,是在别人道歉后的安慰语。
答案:D
2.More natural resources should be made use of ______ the ______ need of energy.
A.meeting;increasing B.to meet;increased
C.meeting;increased D.to meet;increasing
解析: 此题不要受of的影响选用v.-ing形式,实际上后半部分是动词不定式作目的状语。
答案:D
3.A warning news report from Qatar announces that a group of Islam will continue to kill Americans wherever they are ______ they leave the Arab world forever.
A.even though B.in case C.whenever D.until
答案:D
4.If this dictionary is not yours,______ can it be?
A.what else B.who else C.which else’s D.who else’s
解析:else可置于由some,any,no开头的不定代词及who,what,how,where等疑问词后,但不与which,when,why连用。因此首先排除C项。与前文yours相对应,该空应用所有格,故选D。who else’s相当于whose else。
答案:D
5.—Which of those electronic dictionaries do you like most?
—______.They are both expensive and of little use.
A.None B.Neither C.All D.Both
解析:此题考查不定代词的用法,不定代词是高考的热点内容。考查重点在:all,any,none,both,either,neither,another,other等。all,any,none,another 用于表示“三者”或“三者以上”。both,either,neither,other用于表示“两者”。做题时还要从搭配、意义等方面加以区别。本题的关键是确定不定代词表达的数量,后文的both很容易误导学生。依据前文those确定是表示三者以上;依据后文的意思确定用否定。故选A。
答案:A
6.The artist ______ the headmaster gave a prize is the teacher ______ I have been taught for two years.
A.from whom;by whom B.to whom;who
C.from whom;who D.to whom;by whom
解析:依据give a prize to sb.,排除A、C两项,依据被动语态中by后接动作的实施者的规则,排除B项。
答案:D
7.His novel is a great success and it is well ______.
A.received B.accepted C.picked D.popular
解析: 前文说小说很成功,那么它一定受人欢迎。选项中receive和popular都能表达这个意思,但是popular是形容词,它不能被well修饰。故选A。
答案:A
8.With the opening of China,more and more English programs are broadcast ______.
A.in the air B.by air C.in the open air D.on the air
解析:本题考查在语境中使用短语的能力。in the air意为“在空中,未确定的;悬而未决的;流传的”; by air意为“乘飞机;通过航空途径”; in the open air意为“在户外”; on the air意为“正在播出的”。从语意看,D为最佳答案。
答案:D
9.When first ______ the market,these products enjoyed great success.
A.introducing B.introduced
C.introduce D.being introduced
解析:本题考查非谓语动词的用法。products与introduce是被动关系,故选B。when引导的时间状语从句是一个省略句,补全为“When they were first introduced to the market,...”。全句意思为:“这些产品一投放市场,就获得了成功。”
答案:B
10.—How long has Mary ______ Johnson?
—I don’t know.I even don’t know that they had ______.

解析:参见“疑难突破6”。
答案:C
12.In order not to be disturbed,I spent three days ______ in my study.
A.locking B.locked C.to lock D.lock
解析:本题A项干扰性较强,有的学生受思维定势的影响,看到locking,就不假思索地选A项。解本题时,应仔细分析其语境和结构,细心揣摩句意。
sb.spend time(in)doing中的sb.是doing的逻辑主语。如:He spent three years writing the book.=He wrote the book in three years’ time.
从结构和句意看,本题中的主语I和lock不是主动关系,而是被动关系,故选B项。如果在in之前加反身代词myself,本题就选A项。
答案:B
13.Tian Dong,together with his classmates,______ because of ______ the school rule.
A.was punished,obeying B.were punished;breaking
C.were punished;obeying D.was punished;breaking
解析:从句意看,首先排除A、C两项。因为遵守学校的规章制度是不应该受到惩罚的。together with his classmates 是状语,主语为Tian Dong,谓语动词应用单数形式,故选D。
答案:D
14.______ is the top player in this football team?
A.Who do you think B.Do you think whom
C.Whom do you think D.Do you think whose else
答案:A
15.When they meet with some difficult problems,they usually ______.
A.ask me advice B.ask for my advice
C.ask me for advice D.ask advice from me
解析:本题考查动词短语意义。ask for sb./sth.意为“要求得到……,要求见到……”;ask sb.for sth.意为“向某人要……”;ask sb.sth.指“问某人某事”。
答案:C
16.—Why haven’t you bought any butter?
—I______ to but I forgot about it.
A.liked B.wished C.meant D.expected
解析:本题考查根据语境和句意使用动词的能力。答语中to后省略了buy,依据but判断答语两句为转折关系,所以后文说“忘了”,前文一定是说“打算买”。能表达此意的只有C项,mean to do意为“有……的意图;打算”。
答案:C
17.He came ______ where I was hiding and my heart beat faster.
A.more closely to B.much closer C.rather closer to D.quite closely to
解析:close和closely都可用作副词,但意思不一样。close意为“靠近,接近”,常与介词to连用;closely表示抽象意义,意为“密切地,仔细地”。根据句意排除A、D项,close to为固定短语,故选C。
答案:C
18.Seeing the happy ______ of children playing in the park,I’m full of joy and confidence in the future of our country.
A.sight B.view C.sign D.scene
解析:本题考查在语境中使用单词的能力。sight意为“视野;景象;奇观”;view意为“眼界;风景;风光;景色”;sign意为“符号;记号;迹象;招牌”;scene意为“场面;情景”。根据句意,选D项。
答案:D
19.He is afraid ______ English in public because he is afraid ______ fun of.
A.to speak;to be made B.to speak;of being made

解析:全句意思为:“由于担心被嘲笑,他不敢在公共场合说英语。”
be afraid of+名词、代词或doing sth.担心、害怕;be afraid to do sth.不敢做某事;因此最佳答案为B。
答案:B
20.—Don’t be disappointed.Have another try,OK?
—______.
A.With pleasure B.It’s my pleasure
C.No problem D.Good idea
解析:本题考查习惯用语,解题时应明确各习惯用语的意思及使用场合:当别人请你帮忙,你乐意做时,你可以说With pleasure.,意为“十分愿意”;当你因帮助他人受到对方感谢时,你可以说“My pleasure.”或“It’s a pleasure.”或“A pleasure.”;根据语境,排除A、B两项。D项结构错误,故选C。
答案:C
(第三组)
1.She was so angry that she ______ all the letters that he wrote to her.
A.burned up B.received C.opened D.read

答案:A
2.This habit is hard to form ______,but in the long run,it will do you good.
A.in future B.at present C.in present D.at the present
解析: in the long run意思是“终究”。如:Honesty will pay in the long run.(诚实终究会得到报偿。) A项不能与后半句形成比较,故排除。全句意思是:“这种习惯目前不容易形成,但是它终究对你会有好处。”
答案:B
3.Zhang Hong is said ______ by heart 2000 words up to now.
A.that she has learned B.to have learned
C.to learn D.having learned

答案:A
5.Apples are usually sold by ______ weight,and eggs are sometimes sold by ______ dozen.
A.the;the B./;a C./;the D.the;a

答案:C
6.—How can a simple meal like this cost so much?
—We have ______ in your bill the cost of the teapot you broke just.
A.increased B.included C.obtained D.charged
解析:increase“增长,增加,加强”include“包括”;obtain“得到,获得,买到”;charge“收费,索价”。根据语境和句意,首先排除A、C两项;charge作“收费”“索价”解常用以下句式:(1)charge sb.for(doing)sth.;(2) charge money for(doing)sth.;(3)charge sb.money for(doing)sth.,本句的宾语是cost,故排除D项。
答案:B
7.Even on a cold day he prefers ______ out to play football ______at home.

C.to go;rather than staying D.to do;rather than to stay

答案:D

—______ there was nothing but sand here.
A.In the past few years B.In past
C.During the past D.In the past
解析: in the past few years意为“在过去几年里”,应与现在完成时连用。“在过去”应译为“in the past”,其中的the不可省略,in 不可换成其他介词。比较:in(the)future在将来;at present在现在,目前。
答案:D
10.You should give the watch to Li Li.This watch is ______ she lost yesterday.
A.the same like B.the same that C.same as D.the same as

这就是他买的那枝钢笔。

A.is opened to;set up B.is opened to;was set up
C.opened to;set up D.open to;was set up
解析: 解题的关键是要理清结构。主干为the Training Center,set up。从主谓关系看,应用被动语态,排除A、C两项。第一空应为定语,如用B项,center后应用关系代词,故排除B。D项中open为形容词,open to意为“向……开放”,如:The swimming pool is open to the public.

答案:C
14.I remember his telephone number is 8666888,but you’d better ______.
A.be sure B.make sure C.find out D.look out
解析: 根据语境排除C、D两项,因为前文已说出了电话号码,不需要去查找。be sure意为“对……有把握”;make sure意为“一定要,保证做到,核实,弄清楚”。从句意看,说话者只是要求对方去核实,故选B。
答案:B
15.I argued with him for more than half an hour,but had to ______ in the end.
A.give out B.give off C.give up D.win

A.what to buy;in mind

C.what to buy;in my mind
D.what to be bought;in my mind
解析:you与buy之间存在主动关系,应该用动词不定式的主动式。故排除B、D两项。have sb./sth. in mind(for sth.)是固定短语,意思为“心中有适当的人选(或想做的事)”。例如:Do you have anyone in mind for this job?你有没有想到什么人可以做这项工作?
答案:A

答案:D
32.A.satisfied B.unsatisfactory C.finished D.welcome

He had travelled thousands of miles in the hope of earning some money,but 18-year-old Lin Kongming never knew danger was waiting for him.
He and six other migrant workers from Fujian Province spent 36 hours in Iraq as international hostages(人质).But luckily,they were set free last Tuesday morning,unharmed by the people who had taken them hostage.
After hard work by Chinese diplomats(外交官)in the region the Iraqi kidnappers(绑架者)agreed to hand them over to a local religious group.“The friendly relations between the Chinese and Iraqi peoples have played a key role in the release of the hostages,”said Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan.China refused to join the US-led coalition(联军)in the Iraq war.
Since April 4,over 60 hostages from 12 countries,including America,Italy and Japan,have been taken in Iraq.Some have been released,others were killed.
The Iraqi resistance groups have started taking foreigners hostage in an attempt to force the US-led troops out of their country.As a result,many foreigners have left,fearing the situation will get worse.Some nations are also considering removing their troops from Iraq.Thailand has ordered its forces not to leave their camp and may bring them home before September as originally planned.New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark is considering similar action.

Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.
Since earliest times,people have always been astonished by movement.But not until last century have we managed to take control of movement,to record it,and in the case of animation,to retranslate it and recreate it.To do all this,we use a movie camera and a projector(放映机).
In the world of cartoon animation,nothing is impossible.You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.
A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat,created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties.Felix was a wonderful cat.He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail,using it as a handle and then putting it back.
Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America,the home of the moving picture industry.
But to be an animator,you don’t have to be a professional(专业人士).It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all.All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film through a projector.

I strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener.And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago,I have to admit I’m still only an adequate(尚可的) listener.
Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences.It’s being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.In some ways,the way we fail to listen is symbolic of the way we live.We often treat communication as if it were a race.It’s almost like our goal is to have no gaps between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own.My wife and I were recently at a cafe having lunch,overhearing the conversations around us.It seemed that no one was really listening to one another;instead they were taking turns not listening to one another.I asked my wife if I still did the same thing.With a smile on her face she said,“only sometimes”.
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person.It takes pressure from you.If you think about it,you’ll notice that it takes an extremely large amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you(or on the telephone)is going to say so that you can fire back your response.But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more carefully to what is being said,you’ll notice that the pressure you feel is off.You will immediately feel more relaxed,and so will the people you are talking to.They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won’t feel in competition with you for “air time”!Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person,it will also add to the quality of your relationships.Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
54.According to the passage,an effective listener should______.
A.accept the speaker’s thought critically
B.respond to the speaker’s words slowly
C.wait for the chance to respond patiently
D.reply the speaker’s question patiently
解析:根据短文第二段内容,特别是“It’s being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.”一句可以确定答案为C。

55.My wife’s words means that sometimes I ______.

D.do not really listen to other’s statement
解析:根据“It seemed that no one was really listening to one another;instead they were taking turns not listening to one another.I asked my wife if I still did the same thing.”可以确定答案。
答案:D
56.When talking with others,you will feel relaxed by ______.
A.sitting at the edge of the seat B.slowing down your responses
C.guessing the speaker’s thought D.responding to the speaker quickly
解析:根据第三段第一句以及“But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more carefully to what is being said,you’ll notice that the pressure you feel is off.”可以判定答案为B。
答案:B
57.From the passage,we can NOT infer that ______.

In 1993,the Metropolitan Museum of Art reluctantly(不情愿地)handed over 363 pieces of gold,silver,precious stones,paintings,and sculptures back to Turkey after a court case.Following increasing calls for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago,some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin.They say people all over the world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects.The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America.For example,Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.
The British Museum has not signed the declaration,but says it fully supports it.Over the recent years,it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles(埃尔金大理石雕),sculptures(雕像)taken from the Parthenon(帕台农神庙)in Athens,Greece,in the 19th century.But the British Museum has said that the Museum is the best possible place for them.“They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim,which is to show the world to the world,”said the director of the museum.
58.What reason do the major museums provide for not handing back the ancient objects?
A.Only in the leading museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.
B.It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.
C.They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.
D.Ancient civilizations can only be admired if they are removed from their home countries.

答案:B
60.What does“the world”mean in“show the world to the world”?
A.The global village. B.The leading museums.
C.The ancient civilizations. D.The international public.
解析:根据对第一段中“The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America.”一部分和第二段“They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim”一句的理解,不难确定此句的意思是:把古代文明给世人看。
