Ⅰ.单项填空
1.(2010年高考北京卷)I’m calling to enquire about the position ________ in yesterday’s China Daily.
A.advertised B.to be advertised
C.advertising D.having advertised
解析:选A。句意:我打电话来咨询一下有关昨天在《中国日报》上刊登广告(招聘)的职位。advertised...是过去分词短语作后置定语,被修饰词position与advertise是被动关系。
2.(2010年高考湖南卷)So far nobody has claimed the money ________ in the library.
A.discovered B.to be discovered
C.discovering D.having discovered
解析:选A。句意:迄今为止,没有人认领在图书馆里发现的钱。本题考查非谓语动词作定语,因discover与money之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语。
3.(2010年高考福建卷)In April,thousands of holidaymakers remained ________ abroad due to the volcanic ash cloud.
A.sticking B.stuck
C.to be stuck D.to have stuck
解析:选B。句意:四月份,由于火山灰云的影响,成千上万的度假者被滞留在海外。空格处用过去分词stuck表示“被卡住”,引申为“被滞留”,符合句意;现在分词表示动作正在进行;动词不定式表示将要发生的动作,不符合句意。
4.(2010年高考大纲全国卷Ⅰ)Mrs.White showed her students some old maps ________ from the library.
A.to borrow B.to be borrowed
C.borrowed D.borrowing
解析:选C。句意:怀特夫人给她的学生们看了一些从图书馆里借来的旧地图。old maps与borrow之间是被动关系,由句中的动词showed可知此动作已经发生,可排除不定式短语作后置定语,即排除A、B两项;D项表示主动或进行,也不符合语境;C项表示被动或完成,符合语境。
5.(2010年高考四川卷)A great number of students ________ said they were forced to practise the piano.
A.to question B.to be questioned
C.questioned D.questioning
解析:选C。考查非谓语动词作定语。question与students之间存在被动关系,question表示的动作也已完成,故用过去分词。
6.Those ________ by the teacher last night handed in their papers one by one.
A.scolded B.being scolded
C.scolding D.having scolded
解析:选A。被修饰词是不定代词如something,everything,anyone,nobody等或指示代词those时,单个分词作定语也要后置。根据those与scold之间的被动关系可排除选项C和D;由last night可知分词表示动作已经发生,所以A项正确。
7.The computer centre,________ last year,is very popular among the students in this school.
A.open B.opening
C.having opened D.opened
解析:选D。opened为过去分词作后置定语,表示被动和完成,相当于一个非限制性定语从句。
8.The Town Hall ________ in the 1800’s was the most distinguished building at that time.
A.to be completed
B.having been completed
C.completed
D.being completed
解析:选C。考查过去分词作定语。句意:那个完成于19世纪的城镇大厅是那个时代最独特的建筑。to be completed不定式表将来,将要被完成;having been completed已经被完成,但注意having been done的形式只能作状语,而此处要选定语;completed过去分词表被动和完成;being completed正在被完成。由题意知是已经被完成,所以选C。
9.(2010年高考陕西卷)________ from the top of the tower,the south foot of the mountain is a sea of trees.
A.Seen B.Seeing
C.Having seen D.To see
解析:选A。句意:从塔顶看,这座山的南边脚下是树的海洋。seen from the top of the tower是一个过去分词短语,在句子中作状语,其逻辑主语是句子的主语the south foot,它们之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词。
10.Tom sounds very much ________ in the job,but I’m not sure whether he can manage it.
A.interested B.interesting
C.interestingly D.interestedly
解析:选A。sound在此为系动词,interested为过去分词作表语,意为“感兴趣的”。
11.Sarah,hurry up.I’m afraid you won’t have time to ________ before the party.
A.get changed B.get change
C.get changing D.get to change
解析:选A。get changed是系表结构,意为“换衣服”,类似的短语还有get married等。
12.It is believed that if a book is ________,it will surely ________ the reader.
A.interested;interest
B.interesting;be interested
C.interested;be interesting
D.interesting;interest
解析:选D。空一为现在分词作表语,表示主语的特征,“令人感兴趣的,有趣的”;空二的interest是谓语动词。
13.Cleaning women in big cities usually get ________ by the hour.
A.pay B.paying
C.paid D.to pay
解析:选C。get paid相当于be paid,意为“得到报酬,被付钱”。
14.Many things ________ impossible in the past are common today.
A.being considered B.considering
C.to be considered D.considered
解析:选D。该句等同于Many things that were considered impossible in the past are common today.句意:许多过去认为是不可能的事,现在很普通。
15.—The man ________ in blue looks unhappy.What is the matter
—Because he feels ________ at his son’s failure.
A.dressed;disappointed
B.dressing;disappointing
C.dressing;disappointed
D.dressed;disappointing

Ⅲ.单项填空
1.(2011年福州三中高二检测)I don’t think his reason for being late makes ________.
A.use B.sense
C.value D.cause
解析:选B。考查make构成的短语的区别。句意:我认为他迟到的理由没有道理。make sense在这里是“有道理,讲得通”。
2.(2011年青岛高二检测)The teacher didn’t explain the problem clearly,so many students were ________.
A.confusing B.mixing

解析:选C。confused感到困惑的。而mixed意为“混杂的”不合题意。

A.bring in B.break out
C.result from D.lead to
解析:选D。break out爆发,相当于不及物动词;result from后接原因,意为“由……引起”;lead to意为“导致,造成(后果)”符合题意,故选D。
4.(2011年湖州高二检测)The power station ________last year is a big one.
A.having been built B.built
C.being built D.to be built
解析:选B。考查过去分词作定语。The power station与build之间为被动关系,句中时间状语也暗示了应用过去分词形式作定语。注意having been built不用作定语。
5.(2011年河南实验中学高二检测)Only in this way ________to get there ahead of time.
A.you can hope B.you did hope
C.can you hope D.did you hope
解析:选C。句意:只有通过这种方法你才有希望提前到达那里。only修饰状语放在句首,主句要部分倒装,所以选C。B、D两项时态与句意不符。
6.A small but ________ crowd cheered as the players ran onto the field.
A.energetic B.enthusiastic
C.enjoyable D.encouraged
解析:选B。考查形容词的辨析。句意:运动员们进入场地时,虽少却热情的人群欢呼起来。energetic精力旺盛的;enjoyable令人愉快的;encouraged深受鼓舞的,都不合题意。
7.I cared for none of the presents ________the wonderful bag you bought for my 12th birthday.
A.in addition to B.as well as
C.in addition D.apart from
解析:选D。本题考查介词短语的意义和用法。根据题干语境意义,尤其是wonderful一词,可以推断讲话者只喜欢这件生日礼物,in addition to和as well as一样,表示并列关系,不符合题干意义;而in addition意为“另外”,后不接宾语,且不符合题意;apart from意为“除……之外”。
8.Franklin’s ability to learn from observations and experience________greatly to his success in public life.
A.owed B.contributed
C.attached D.related
解析:选B。句意:富兰克林通过观察和经验学习的能力有助于他的成功。“owe...to...”表示“把……归于……”,应该是“Franklin owed his success in public life to his ability to learn from observations and experience.”;attach...to...表示“把……附属在……”;related是形容词,而句中缺少谓语动词,因此不恰当。
9.—How do you________we go to Beijing for our holidays
—I think we’d better fly there.It’s much more comfortable.
A.insist B.want
C.suppose D.suggest

10.Our students ought to ________our share to the coming college students’ sports meeting in our city.
A.contribute B.construct
C.instruct D.introduce
解析:选A。考查动词词义辨析。contribute意为“奉献,贡献”。句意:我们应该为即将在我市举办的大学生运动会奉献自己的力量。而construct意为“建设”;instruct意为“指导”;introduce意为“介绍”,都不符合句子语境意义。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Researchers at Oregon State University(OSU)have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well,but use little energy at the same time.
Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work,create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past,or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get“walking”abilities.
“Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time,”said Jonathan Hurst,a professor at OSU.“What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”
The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy.Using little energy,they can move easily over hard areas,and enjoy balance from muscles(肌肉).They have different ways to deal with forces,such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地),like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies,the OSU researchers proved that these two_abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的).Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot,the more it’s able to do one of these tasks,the less able it is to do the other.
Presently,robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance,but uses far less energy,and is closer to the abilities of animals.
“So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to build robots with good movement ability,”Hurst said.“Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology.”
【解题导语】 如何使机器人不但能够走得好跑得好,而且还消耗较少的能量,这是摆在科学家面前的一个大问题。Oregon State University的研究者们正对此进行研究。

2.Which of the following have researchers been studying all the time
A.The robots’ movement.
B.The robots’ weight.
C.The robots’ sizes.

3.The underlined words“two abilities”in Para.4 refer to________.
A.walking and running
B.walking and holding
C.moving and using little energy
D.moving and balancing
解析:选D。词义猜测题。根据文章第四段的Using little energy,they can move easily over hard areas,and enjoy balance from muscles.可知,人类和动物在运动时能够保持身体平衡,因此,后面提到的这两项能力就是指的这两项。故答案选D。
4.According to Jonathan Hurst,we know that robots with good movement ability________.
A.can be used in medical science
B.are only used in highly dangerous situations
C.will hardly be created in the future

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith (铁匠).There were four children in his family and, with his father often ill and unable to work,Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age.This meant little or no schooling.However,the family belonged to a religious group,and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday School.
When he was only fourteen,Faraday found a job as a bookbinder (装订工).He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books,particularly the ones about electricity.His interest soon took a practical path and he began conducting his own experiments.These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself.However,he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.
One day he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture,given by Humphry Davy.Determined to work for this great scientist,he sent Davy a job application and included his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out.In 1813,Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants.Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognized as a very able analytical chemist.Later he went to work at the Royal Institute.
Michael Faraday was, perhaps,the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century.As a chemist,he discovered the benzene (苯),which is now the focal point of chemical study.He also proved the relationship between electricity and chemical bonding (化学键).As a physicist,he invented the dynamo,which led to the later invention of the electric motor.He also discovered the effect of magnetism (磁) on light rays.
