3. The two boys were fighting each other, and it was hard for the old man to____them.
A. divide B. separate C. keep D. avoid
【解析】选B。句意：那两个男孩在打架，那位老人很难将他们分开。separate表示将聚在一起的两个个体分开。

A. must B. should
C. must have D. should have
【解析】选C。句意:——想不到吧！我的学期论文得了A。——好极了！你一定是广泛阅读和全心投入了。由句意可知，在广泛阅读和全心投入之后才有了A等论文的结果。must have done表示对过去事情的肯定推测。

8. —Did your mother come back early last night

A. before B. when C. that D. until
【解析】选B。分析句式结构可知，此处是一个时间状语从句。根据答语句意“当她到家时还不到8点”可知应选B项。

Ⅴ. 阅读理解
Beach, Samba, Carnival (狂欢节)
It seems that Brazilians are always ready to party. Well, they’ve got a good reason to party now: Rio de Janeiro (or Rio for short), their second largest city, got the 2016 Olympics on October 2. This is the first time in the 120-year history of the modern Olympics that they will be held in South America. It seems the five Olympic rings make more sense now that they’ve included another continent. And, just as Beijing got the world’s attention after receiving the 2008 Olympic nod (同意) in 2001, Rio de Janeiro’s win has put the spotlight on Brazil.
Football
The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s football team rather than the national flag. But football in Brazil is more than sport, it’s a way of life. The World Cup brings Brazilians together. Interestingly, the general elections (大选) in Brazil are usually held in the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm (爱国热情) created by football and bring it into politics.
Carnival
“Live Your Passion (激情)” was the Rio team’s slogan（口号）. The carnival is one of the most powerful images of Brazilian enthusiasm. It’s held every year across the country, with street parades and exciting music. The parade in Rio is one of the world’s biggest carnivals. Every February, tens of thousands of people go there for the event.
The economy
The Rio bid (申办) team set up a ＄14. 4 billion (98 billion yuan) budget (预算) for the games—the largest of this year’s bidding cities. What stands behind the big budget is Brazil’s stronger economy. Brazil’s is the largest national economy in Latin America, and has experienced a giant leap (飞跃) in the past few years.
1. From the second paragraph we know that____.
A. football plays an important role in Brazilians’ life
B. football has little to do with politics in Brazil
C. football in Brazil is as popular as other sports
D. Brazil has never been beaten at football so far
【解析】选A。细节理解题。从第二段可看出，巴西人酷爱足球，他们的生活离不开足球。
2. According to the passage, which is TRUE in the following statements
A. South America held the modern Olympics 120 years ago.
B. Political parties sometimes bring the World Cup into politics.
C. The theme of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games will be “Live Your Passion”.
D. The mascot(吉祥物) of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games is a football.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由文章可知，A、B项本身错误；D项吉祥物还未确定；由第三段第一句可以推出C项正确。
3. We can infer from the passage that____.
A. it was in 2001 that Beijing won Olympic bid
B. the Rio’s budget for the games is the largest of this year’s bidding cities
C. on seeing the colors green and yellow, most people will think of Brazil’s national flag
D. the general elections in Brazil are held every four years
【解析】选D。推理判断题。由第二段Interestingly, the general elections in Brazil are usually held in the same year as the World Cup. 得知D项正确。A、B从文章中可明显得出，不是推出的结论；C项本身错误。
4. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Introduction about Rio
B. Rio Got the 2016 Olympics
C. Rio Developed Fast Recently
D. Live Your Passion
【解析】选B。总结归纳题。A项题目过大，不太具体；C项偏离主题；D项仅仅是其中一部分，仅涉及到奥运口号或主题。由每段第一句可知，答案应选B。

8. could→was able to
Ⅱ. 单项填空
My new dictionary is missing. Who____have taken it
A. should B. must C. would D. could
【解析】选D。根据语境“词典丢了，不知道谁拿走了”可知表示
对过去所发生事情的推测，由于在疑问句中，所以选D。
2. —Excuse me. Is this the right way to the Summer Palace
—Sorry, I am not sure. But it____be.
A. might B. will C. must D. can
【解析】选A。根据I am not sure判断，回答的人不那么肯定。might意为“或许”。
3. There____be any difficulty in passing the final examination since you have made enough preparations in the training courses.
A. needn’t B. shouldn’t
C. mustn’t D. shan’t
【解析】选B。句中since状语从句提示，空缺处是表示推测的情态动词，而四个选项中，能表示推测的情态动词只有should和must, 但must通常用在肯定的陈述句中，在否定句或疑问句中要换用can或could, 故最佳答案是B，作“不应该”解。
4. —Would you like to stay for another two days
—Sorry, I_____ . One of my best friends is coming to see me.
A. mustn’t B. can’t C. needn’t D. won’t
【解析】选B。mustn’t表禁止，“不许”；can’t“不可以”表客观的不可能；needn’t“不必”；won’t“不会”。由题意可知，应选B。
5. —May I smoke here
—If you_____, choose a seat in the smoking section.
A. should B. could
C. may D. must
【解析】选D。if you must (do sth. )表示允许但不赞同，意为“如果你一定要/必须那么做”。
6. —What does the sign over there read
—No person _____ smoke or carry a lighted cigarette, cigar or pipe in this area.
A. will B. may C. shall D. must
【解析】选C。考查情态动词的用法。shall用于法律、法规、公文、公告中表示必须遵守某事，此外shall还可用于第一、三人称，征求对方意见，用于第二、三人称，表示警告、允诺、强迫、威胁等；must“必须, 一定”, 表示推测；may“也许”，表示推测；will表示意愿或一种习惯倾向等。
7. John____his father about his failure in the exam.
A. dares not tell B. dares not telling
C. dare not tell D. dares not to tell
【解析】选C。dare not tell中的dare是情态动词，dare作情态动词时，没有人称和数的变化，后接动词原形；否定形式：dare not。dare作实义动词时，在肯定句中后面常接带to的不定式，在否定句或疑问句中不定式中的to可带也可不带。
8. —Would you help me with my computer It is broken.
—Certainly, I____.
A. would B. should C. will D. can
【解析】选C。在“Would you. . . ”和“Could you. . . ”表示请求的问句中，一般相应地用will和can回答，所以选C。
9. We____finish it ahead of time, though it was such a tough task.
A. could B. would
C. were able to D. ought to
【解析】选C。考查情态动词。根据后文中though可知所填词表示“（经过努力后）能……”，所以应该用be able to, C项正确。
10. —How much shall I pay for the phone call
—You_____. This is free of charge.
A. shouldn’t B. can’t
C. needn’t D. mustn’t
【解析】选C。由后面的“This is free of charge”可知“不必付钱”。needn’t “不必”。shouldn’t“不应该”；can’t“不能”；mustn’t“决不能”。

A. hiding-place B. hidden-place
C. hide-place D. hid place
【解析】选A。Hiding-place意为“躲藏处，藏身之处”，是由“动词-ing+名词”构成的复合名词。Swimming-pool, climbing-boots等也是这类名词。其中“动词-ing”表示被修饰的名词的用途。
2. We always keep ____ spare paper, in case we run out.
A. too much B. a number of
C. plenty of D. a good many
【解析】选C。spare paper“备用纸”，为不可数名词。plenty of“充足的”，可修饰不可数名词，也可修饰复数名词；too much修饰不可数名词，但其意（太多的）不符合句意。
3. Others____come to my party, but you____refuse my invitation, anyhow.
A. may not; mustn’t
B. may not; wouldn’t
C. can’t; may not
D. must; won’t
【解析】选A。句意：别人可能不来我的聚会，但是无论如何你不能拒绝我的邀请。第一个空表示可能性，即别人可能来，也可能不来；第二个空意为“一定不，绝不能”，在此表示语气强烈的请求。
4. There is no light or sound in the house. They must have gone to the cinema, ____
A. didn’t they B. don’t they
C. mustn’t they D. haven’t they
【解析】选D。当must表示推测，作“一定，准是”讲时，反意疑问部分的动词形式要根据must后面的动词形式确定；但当句中有表示过去的时间状语时，反意疑问部分用didn’t。
5. London, the city that will____the 2012 Summer Games, put on an eight-minute show featuring the football star Beckham.
A. watch B. host C. win D. declare
【解析】选B。句意：伦敦，这座要举办2012年夏季奥运会的城市，表演了以足球明星贝克汉姆为核心的八分钟节目。由句意可知应选B。
6. —Have you known each other for long

A. otherwise B. before
C. when D. since
【解析】选D。since是从属连词，引导时间状语从句，常与现在完成时连用。题中答语为省略句，全句应为：We haven’t known each other very long. We have known each other since we started to work in the company. 。
7. —How did you sleep last night
—Like a dog. Never slept_____.
A. well B. worse C. best D. better
【解析】选D。“否定词+比较级”往往表示对语气的加强。通过sleep like a dog的语义（睡得非常香）说明“从来都没有睡得那么好过”，因此选D。
8. The actress felt _____ embarrassed when asked that personal matter.
A. prettily B. pretty C. great D. special
【解析】选B。pretty作副词时意为“颇，相当”。句意为：当被问及那个私人问题时，那位女演员感到相当窘迫。prettily“漂亮地”；选项C、D是形容词，不能修饰形容词和副词。
9. Although he is an ordinary person in our company, he is____; everyone likes to make friends with him.
A. good-looking B. manlike
C. easygoing D. Iron-willed
【解析】选C。句意：他在我们公司是一个很普通的人，但是人很随和，所以每个人都喜欢和他交朋友。easygoing随和的。一般情况下，形容词+现在分词/过去分词→复合形容词。例如：sunburnt晒黑的；hardworking努力工作的。
10. You____her in office last Friday. She’s been out of town for two weeks.
A. needn’t have seen B. might have seen

It is true that the first Olympic Games of the modern times in 1896 were not open to women. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who gave new life to the Games, was very much a man of his time.
He didn’t like women showing up for the Games. But since this time, things have changed. History shows that the number of women participating in the Olympic Games has been increasing over the years, since their first participation in the 1900 Olympic Games and especially in the last 30 years. This development is of social, political and cultural significance(意义）.
The progress is the result of the cooperation(合作）of the entire Olympic Movement and of proper measures that the International Olympic Committee(IOC), International Sports Federations(IFs), and National Olympic Committees(NOCs)have taken. Especially in the last 20 years, the IOC has enlarged the women’s program at the Olympic Games, in cooperation with IFs and the Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games(OCOGs). This development was further strengthened(巩固）by the IOC’s decision that all sports must have women’s events. The IOC also started to work on increasing the number of women at leadership level in sport in 1981. Former President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who wanted to have women as IOC members made a great contribution(贡献）.
Many sports volunteers have worked to increase the number of women joining in the Olympic Games. This progress has been made also thanks to the strong determination of women from different countries of the world who have worked to make sure women are fully represented in all sports.

C. must have D. should have
【解析】选C。句意:——想不到吧！我的学期论文得了A。——好极了！你一定是广泛阅读和全心投入了。由句意可知，在广泛阅读和全心投入之后才有了A等论文的结果。must have done表示对过去事情的肯定推测。

Beach, Samba, Carnival (狂欢节)
It seems that Brazilians are always ready to party. Well, they’ve got a good reason to party now: Rio de Janeiro (or Rio for short), their second largest city, got the 2016 Olympics on October 2. This is the first time in the 120-year history of the modern Olympics that they will be held in South America. It seems the five Olympic rings make more sense now that they’ve included another continent. And, just as Beijing got the world’s attention after receiving the 2008 Olympic nod (同意) in 2001, Rio de Janeiro’s win has put the spotlight on Brazil.
Football
The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s football team rather than the national flag. But football in Brazil is more than sport, it’s a way of life. The World Cup brings Brazilians together. Interestingly, the general elections (大选) in Brazil are usually held in the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm (爱国热情) created by football and bring it into politics.
Carnival
“Live Your Passion (激情)” was the Rio team’s slogan（口号）. The carnival is one of the most powerful images of Brazilian enthusiasm. It’s held every year across the country, with street parades and exciting music. The parade in Rio is one of the world’s biggest carnivals. Every February, tens of thousands of people go there for the event.
The economy
The Rio bid (申办) team set up a ＄14. 4 billion (98 billion yuan) budget (预算) for the games—the largest of this year’s bidding cities. What stands behind the big budget is Brazil’s stronger economy. Brazil’s is the largest national economy in Latin America, and has experienced a giant leap (飞跃) in the past few years.
1. From the second paragraph we know that____.
A. football plays an important role in Brazilians’ life
B. football has little to do with politics in Brazil
C. football in Brazil is as popular as other sports
D. Brazil has never been beaten at football so far
【解析】选A。细节理解题。从第二段可看出，巴西人酷爱足球，他们的生活离不开足球。
2. According to the passage, which is TRUE in the following statements
A. South America held the modern Olympics 120 years ago.
B. Political parties sometimes bring the World Cup into politics.
C. The theme of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games will be “Live Your Passion”.
D. The mascot(吉祥物) of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games is a football.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由文章可知，A、B项本身错误；D项吉祥物还未确定；由第三段第一句可以推出C项正确。
3. We can infer from the passage that____.
A. it was in 2001 that Beijing won Olympic bid
B. the Rio’s budget for the games is the largest of this year’s bidding cities
C. on seeing the colors green and yellow, most people will think of Brazil’s national flag
D. the general elections in Brazil are held every four years
【解析】选D。推理判断题。由第二段Interestingly, the general elections in Brazil are usually held in the same year as the World Cup. 得知D项正确。A、B从文章中可明显得出，不是推出的结论；C项本身错误。
4. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Introduction about Rio
B. Rio Got the 2016 Olympics
C. Rio Developed Fast Recently
D. Live Your Passion
【解析】选B。总结归纳题。A项题目过大，不太具体；C项偏离主题；D项仅仅是其中一部分，仅涉及到奥运口号或主题。由每段第一句可知，答案应选B。

Ⅱ. 单项填空
My new dictionary is missing. Who____have taken it
A. should B. must C. would D. could
【解析】选D。根据语境“词典丢了，不知道谁拿走了”可知表示

2. —Excuse me. Is this the right way to the Summer Palace
—Sorry, I am not sure. But it____be.
A. might B. will C. must D. can
【解析】选A。根据I am not sure判断，回答的人不那么肯定。might意为“或许”。
3. There____be any difficulty in passing the final examination since you have made enough preparations in the training courses.
A. needn’t B. shouldn’t
C. mustn’t D. shan’t
【解析】选B。句中since状语从句提示，空缺处是表示推测的情态动词，而四个选项中，能表示推测的情态动词只有should和must, 但must通常用在肯定的陈述句中，在否定句或疑问句中要换用can或could, 故最佳答案是B，作“不应该”解。
4. —Would you like to stay for another two days
—Sorry, I_____ . One of my best friends is coming to see me.
A. mustn’t B. can’t C. needn’t D. won’t
【解析】选B。mustn’t表禁止，“不许”；can’t“不可以”表客观的不可能；needn’t“不必”；won’t“不会”。由题意可知，应选B。
5. —May I smoke here
—If you_____, choose a seat in the smoking section.
A. should B. could
C. may D. must
【解析】选D。if you must (do sth. )表示允许但不赞同，意为“如果你一定要/必须那么做”。
6. —What does the sign over there read
—No person _____ smoke or carry a lighted cigarette, cigar or pipe in this area.
A. will B. may C. shall D. must
【解析】选C。考查情态动词的用法。shall用于法律、法规、公文、公告中表示必须遵守某事，此外shall还可用于第一、三人称，征求对方意见，用于第二、三人称，表示警告、允诺、强迫、威胁等；must“必须, 一定”, 表示推测；may“也许”，表示推测；will表示意愿或一种习惯倾向等。
7. John____his father about his failure in the exam.
A. dares not tell B. dares not telling
C. dare not tell D. dares not to tell
【解析】选C。dare not tell中的dare是情态动词，dare作情态动词时，没有人称和数的变化，后接动词原形；否定形式：dare not。dare作实义动词时，在肯定句中后面常接带to的不定式，在否定句或疑问句中不定式中的to可带也可不带。
8. —Would you help me with my computer It is broken.
—Certainly, I____.
A. would B. should C. will D. can
【解析】选C。在“Would you. . . ”和“Could you. . . ”表示请求的问句中，一般相应地用will和can回答，所以选C。
9. We____finish it ahead of time, though it was such a tough task.
A. could B. would
C. were able to D. ought to
【解析】选C。考查情态动词。根据后文中though可知所填词表示“（经过努力后）能……”，所以应该用be able to, C项正确。
10. —How much shall I pay for the phone call
—You_____. This is free of charge.
A. shouldn’t B. can’t
C. needn’t D. mustn’t
【解析】选C。由后面的“This is free of charge”可知“不必付钱”。needn’t “不必”。shouldn’t“不应该”；can’t“不能”；mustn’t“决不能”。

Ⅲ. 单项填空
1. With his food running out, the man had to come out of his___.
A. hiding-place B. hidden-place
C. hide-place D. hid place
【解析】选A。Hiding-place意为“躲藏处，藏身之处”，是由“动词-ing+名词”构成的复合名词。Swimming-pool, climbing-boots等也是这类名词。其中“动词-ing”表示被修饰的名词的用途。
2. We always keep ____ spare paper, in case we run out.
A. too much B. a number of
C. plenty of D. a good many
【解析】选C。spare paper“备用纸”，为不可数名词。plenty of“充足的”，可修饰不可数名词，也可修饰复数名词；too much修饰不可数名词，但其意（太多的）不符合句意。
3. Others____come to my party, but you____refuse my invitation, anyhow.
A. may not; mustn’t
B. may not; wouldn’t
C. can’t; may not
D. must; won’t
【解析】选A。句意：别人可能不来我的聚会，但是无论如何你不能拒绝我的邀请。第一个空表示可能性，即别人可能来，也可能不来；第二个空意为“一定不，绝不能”，在此表示语气强烈的请求。
4. There is no light or sound in the house. They must have gone to the cinema, ____
A. didn’t they B. don’t they
C. mustn’t they D. haven’t they
【解析】选D。当must表示推测，作“一定，准是”讲时，反意疑问部分的动词形式要根据must后面的动词形式确定；但当句中有表示过去的时间状语时，反意疑问部分用didn’t。
5. London, the city that will____the 2012 Summer Games, put on an eight-minute show featuring the football star Beckham.
A. watch B. host C. win D. declare
【解析】选B。句意：伦敦，这座要举办2012年夏季奥运会的城市，表演了以足球明星贝克汉姆为核心的八分钟节目。由句意可知应选B。
6. —Have you known each other for long
—Not very long,____ we started to work in the company.
A. otherwise B. before
C. when D. since
【解析】选D。since是从属连词，引导时间状语从句，常与现在完成时连用。题中答语为省略句，全句应为：We haven’t known each other very long. We have known each other since we started to work in the company. 。
7. —How did you sleep last night
—Like a dog. Never slept_____.
A. well B. worse C. best D. better
【解析】选D。“否定词+比较级”往往表示对语气的加强。通过sleep like a dog的语义（睡得非常香）说明“从来都没有睡得那么好过”，因此选D。
8. The actress felt _____ embarrassed when asked that personal matter.
A. prettily B. pretty C. great D. special
【解析】选B。pretty作副词时意为“颇，相当”。句意为：当被问及那个私人问题时，那位女演员感到相当窘迫。prettily“漂亮地”；选项C、D是形容词，不能修饰形容词和副词。
9. Although he is an ordinary person in our company, he is____; everyone likes to make friends with him.
A. good-looking B. manlike
C. easygoing D. Iron-willed
【解析】选C。句意：他在我们公司是一个很普通的人，但是人很随和，所以每个人都喜欢和他交朋友。easygoing随和的。一般情况下，形容词+现在分词/过去分词→复合形容词。例如：sunburnt晒黑的；hardworking努力工作的。
10. You____her in office last Friday. She’s been out of town for two weeks.
A. needn’t have seen B. might have seen
C. must have seen D. can’t have seen

take more exercise. You can do some exercises in the morning and have a walk after supper. If you keep on doing so, you’ll lose weight soon and become a slim girl again. I know you can.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Jane

Ⅲ. 阅读理解
It is true that the first Olympic Games of the modern times in 1896 were not open to women. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who gave new life to the Games, was very much a man of his time.
He didn’t like women showing up for the Games. But since this time, things have changed. History shows that the number of women participating in the Olympic Games has been increasing over the years, since their first participation in the 1900 Olympic Games and especially in the last 30 years. This development is of social, political and cultural significance(意义）.
The progress is the result of the cooperation(合作）of the entire Olympic Movement and of proper measures that the International Olympic Committee(IOC), International Sports Federations(IFs), and National Olympic Committees(NOCs)have taken. Especially in the last 20 years, the IOC has enlarged the women’s program at the Olympic Games, in cooperation with IFs and the Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games(OCOGs). This development was further strengthened(巩固）by the IOC’s decision that all sports must have women’s events. The IOC also started to work on increasing the number of women at leadership level in sport in 1981. Former President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who wanted to have women as IOC members made a great contribution(贡献）.
Many sports volunteers have worked to increase the number of women joining in the Olympic Games. This progress has been made also thanks to the strong determination of women from different countries of the world who have worked to make sure women are fully represented in all sports.
