A.Yes,he can be at home
B.No,he couldn't go out
C.Yes,he must be at home

A.keep away from B.keep away with
C.get away from D.get away with

4______ rapid progress has he made that we all admire him.
A.Very B.So
C.Such D.Too
解析:句型so+ adj./adv.+ that和such +adj.+n.+that “如此……以至于……”中,若把“so +adj./adv.或such+adj.+n.”提到句首,则主句需部分倒装,从句不倒装。此题中,progress是名词,所以用such修饰。
答案:C
5In my opinion,keeping dogs should not be banned,but ______ to certain areas.
A.limited B.limiting
C.to limit D.to be limited

A.combining B.being combined
C.combined D.to be combined
解析:句意:和谐社会就像一个管弦乐队——每个人奏出一个音,但是当和其他音和在一起时,就成了美丽的乐章。在时间、条件、让步状语从句中,若主从句主语一致,从句谓语含有动词be,可以把从句中的主语和be动词一起省略。when从句补充完整为:when it is combined with other sounds,所以C项正确。
答案:C
7As a result of the serious flood,two thirds of the buildings in the area ______.
A.needs repairing B.need repairing
C.need to repair D.needs to be repaired
解析:分数或者百分数修饰名词作主语时,谓语的数由名词而定,所以此题中谓语的数是由buildings决定的。当need/want/require作“需要”解释时,其后接的动词若和句子的主语之间是动宾关系,则该动词要用动名词的主动形式或者动词不定式的被动形式。
答案:B
8—John got injured in the game.

A.when B.that

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it,but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone,but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance(保证)that they will love you back.Do not expect love in return;but if it does not,be content it has grown in yours.Do not rely on one's appearance;it can trick you.Do not rely on wealth;even that fades away.Rely on someone who makes you smile,because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trials(考验)to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy.The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness waits for those who cry,those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.Always put yourself in others' shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too.
When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die,you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

答案:B
3One should ______ the painful past according to the writer.
A.forget B.remember C.consider D.value

D.has made a lot of money for himself before he dies
解析:推理判断题,可用逻辑推断法来解。由原文末句“Live your life so that when you die,you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.”可知,一个人应该做死的时候别人为你哭泣为你惋惜的人,可见一个人应该做为别人做好事而得到别人尊敬爱戴的人。
答案:C
