Ⅰ.单项填空
1．A　run out为不及物动词短语，run out of为及物动词短语。
2．A　考查冠词的用法。句中的music是不可数名词，表示泛指，其前不用冠词；sports体育运动，其前也不用冠词。
3．B　for sure肯定地，有把握地。of course和certainly意为“当然”，不符合句意。
4．A　句意为“在休息期间有那么多的人排队买咖啡，所以我们最终还是放弃了”。eventually最终；unfortunately不幸运地；generously慷慨大方地；purposefully有目的地。
5．C　句意为：人们的政治信仰常常是在他们所读报纸的影响下形成的。make 做，使；produce 生产；shape 使成型，塑造；take 拿走。
6．B　A项中的turned on 与题意不符；C项中 sure 不能引导祈使句；D项中的 turning off 与语态不符。
7．A　句意为：杰克被解雇了是真的吗？Jack 与 fire 是被动关系，get 充当系动词，构成被动语态。
8．B　ensure 确保；predict 预言，预料；look forward to 盼望；understand 理解，弄懂。句意为：很难预测这次事故会有什么样的深远影响。
9．D　从答语 it is 知道上文助动词为 is，而 belong to 无被动语态。句意为：那所中学附属于北京师范大学吗？据我所知，是的。
10．A　后一句的句意为：这提醒我们要关注我们所居住的世界，而且我们应该学会尊重生命和自然。care about 关注。
11．C　由题意看出，所填选项表示原因，可排除B、D，因为even不能当连词用，however表示让步，意为“无论，不管”，这样只能在A、C之间选择，A项引起的句子不能位于句首，所以不能选。since表示已知的原因。
12．A　can 表示理论上的可能性，意思为“可能，有时会”。
13．B　动词不定式短语作目的状语，表示“为了……”。we’ll work two more hours a day 说明每天加班两小时的目的是及时完成这个项目。
14．D　由题意可知，问题还没有解决，而是“有待于解决”，故用动词不定式表示将来。
15．B　本题考查短语辨析。carry out a plan执行计划；set aside把……置于一旁；take in吸收，欺骗；get through通过，穿越。
Ⅱ.完形填空
【语篇解读】　父爱无语。离别时作为父亲的“我”该向儿子说些什么呢？简短而又略显不得体的话“假如让我选择的话，我会选择你”让儿子深深地懂得了父子情深。
1．A　体验一种不同的生活。experience有“经历、体验”的意思。enjoy意为“享受”，不符合语境。
2．B　“我想给他一些有重要意义的话语。”故用give。其他选项不符合语境。
3．B　根据下文判断这不是“我”第一次让这种时刻溜走。
4．D　根据情景判断，表示“上车”，所以用up。
5．B　a similar scene类似的一幕 (情景)。
6．C　根据所填词的并列项confidence及下文as引导的句子可以判断，此处作者想说点什么以给儿子勇气和信心。故C项符合语境。
7．A　Words failed me相当于“I couldn’t express how I felt.”，意为“我说不出话来”。
8．D　根据上下文可知，作者在回忆那些已经失去了的机会。
9．B　根据第一段最后一句可知答案。pass在此处指 (时间)流逝。
10．B　mean意味着。本句的意思为“我无法找到一个安静的时候来告诉他他对我来说意味着什么”。
11．C　expect预料，预计。think后面不能接动词不定式；want和wish表示主观上的意愿或希望。
12．A　上文的言下之意是这件事情不重要，这样本句和上文构成转折关系，所以用But。
13．B　作者对没有听到父亲对他表达爱的话而感到遗憾，所以用regret。
14．C　把情感 (feelings)通过语言 (words)的形式表达出来。
15．C　根据上文判断，作者不知道为什么向儿子说一些肺腑之言如此困难。hard困难的，符合语境。essential必不可少的；complex复杂的。
16．A　根据下文的there were just Daniel and me判断本句表示世界消失 (disappear)了。
17．C　“我”能感觉到的是……be aware of感觉到，意识到；be convinced of相信，确信；be tired of对……厌倦。sensitive敏感的，常用be sensitive to意为“对……敏感”。根据语境可知C项正确。
18．B　根据语境“他的脸贴着我的脸”可知，press against“使贴着”符合语境。
19．A　根据下文It was nothing可知答案。clumsy笨拙的；gentle温柔的；absurd荒唐的；moving感动人的。
20．D　本句和上句构成转折关系 (and yet相当于however)，所以填everything和nothing相对应。
