Ⅱ. 单项填空
1. I wonder what it feels like to be one of _______ really rich. The Smiths already have two Rolls Royces and now they are buying _______ third!
A. the; a B. the; the C. /; a D. /; the
【解析】选A。“the+形容词”表一类人或一类事物,the rich富人;a third“(两者后的)又一”。
2. —Do you know Uncle Tom is crazy about gardening
—Sure. He _______ his flowers in the garden now.
A. may be watering B. must be watering
C. could look after D. ought to water
【解析】选B。考查情态动词表示猜测的用法。在表示十分肯定的猜测时,要用must。从对话来判断,此刻Uncle Tom一定正在花园里浇花呢。选项A是干扰项,要注意may在表示猜测时,仅能表示不是十分有把握的猜测。
3. I’d love _______ to your party last Sunday if not because of the unexpected guests.
A. to go B. going
C. having gone D. to have gone
【解析】选D。would love to have done something的意思是“原本很想做某件事,但因为某个原因没有做成”。相当于should have done的意思。
4. —He has to finish the experiment today. He must be in the lab, _______
—That’s quite possible.
A. mustn’t he B. won’t he
C. doesn’t he D. isn’t he
【解析】选D。must be结构中的中心词应为be,且He must be in the lab相当于I think he is in the lab,故其尾句部分为isn’t he。
—John is playing basketball over there. He must have finished his work this morning, _______
—It’s unbelievable.
A. mustn’t he B. hasn’t he C. didn’t he D. hadn’t he
【解析】选C。句中含有明确的过去时间状语this morning,故用一般过去时态的反意疑问句形式。
5. Our main task at the moment is to provide a _______ for the survivors of the disaster-hit areas from the bad weather.
A. direction B. concern C. shelter D. schedule
【解析】选C。考查名词辨析。句意:我们目前的主要任务就是为那些遭受恶劣天气袭击的灾区的幸存者提供住处。direction方向;concern担忧;shelter住处;schedule时间表,由句意知C正确。
6. Jane, _______ at the news of the earthquake, was at a loss for words.
A. shock B. shocked
C. shocking D. having shocked
【解析】选B。过去分词作状语,表示原因。此句话的主语Jane和shock之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,构成结构“be shocked at”。
7. Television has many advantages. It keeps us _______ about the _______ news and also provides entertainment in the house.
A. informed; latest B. to know; later
C. learning; later D. to think; latest
【解析】选A。考查过去分词作宾语补足语的用法。inform和宾语us之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作宾语补足语。latest adj. 最新的,最近的。
8. It was my _______ not to tell you about it early. I apologize.
A. idea B. mistake C. fault D. duty
【解析】选C。fault在此意为“过错,过失,责任”,与句中的“没有早点告诉你”这个行为的过失相符。idea“想法,主意”;mistake“错误”;duty“职责,责任”。均不符合题意。
9. He came into the classroom _______ .
[2011唐山高二检测]
A. being upset B. very upset
C. to upset D. to be upset
【解析】选B。考查形容词作状语。“他很不高兴地走进教室”。故B项为正确答案。
10. To our great _______, George’s illness proved not to be as serious as we had feared.
A. anxiety B. relief C. view D. astonishment
【解析】选B。考查名词辨析。句意:令我们很宽慰的是,乔治的病结果并不像我们害怕的那样严重。to our great relief令我们很宽慰的是。anxiety焦虑;relief宽慰;view观点; astonishment吃惊。
I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 1 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 2 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 3 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 4 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 5 . It was cause and
effect: she believed I had opinions, so I began to 6 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl’s 8 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 9 ! ”I began to take 10 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing—only things to be 11 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 12 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 13 in the program as “Student Art Assistant” because of the time and effort I’d put in. It was that year that I 14 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 15 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 16 a strong interest and a world I hadn’t known existed. She taught me not to 17 what people think I should do. She taught me to take chances and not be 18 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 19 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 20 .
1. A. and B. yet C. so D. for
【解析】选B。前面unpleasant voice和a direct way of speaking是消极意向, 后面encouraging和 inspiring是积极意向, 因此需填转折连词, 四个选项中A表并列, C表结果,D表原因,只有B选项yet表转折。
2. A. opinion B. impression
C. information D. intention
【解析】选A。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选“观点opinion”这个词。第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。impression“印象”; information“信息”; intention“意图”, 均不符合题意。
3. A. make B. keep C. handle D. change
【解析】选C。根据文章大意选择“处理”事情。handle,名词是“柄、把”,动词是“处理”,这里考查后者。A. 做、创造; B. 保持; D. 改变,均不符合题意。
4. A. anything B. something C. everything D. nothing
【解析】选D。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。 know nothing about sth. 对某事一无所知。
5. A. questions B. comments
C. explanations D. remarks
【解析】选A。解题关键词是本句的“respond”回答、响应”, 线索是第二段第一句中的“ask提问”及第三句中的“answer回答”,因此这里填“question问题”这个词。B、D选项是评论;C是解释,均不符题意。
6. A. hold B. follow C. evaluate D. form
【解析】选D。本句的them指代opinions。form opinion形成观点。hold opinion持有某种观点,form是个变化的状态,hold是个持续的状态,根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点,由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点,强调形成这个过程,另外begin to后接有变化感的词,故选form不选hold。follow遵照; evaluate评估; 与题意差别较大。
7. A. happy B. lively C. reliable D. punctual
【解析】选C。解题线索在后半句“so I began to show up to paint more and more”作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果,说明我是个可信赖的(reliable)人, C选项符合题意。其他三个选项happy“高兴的”, lively“活泼的”和punctual“准时的”都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的“lively”通常用来形容物。
8. A. message B. motto C. saying D. suggestion
【解析】选B。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话,而且后面“that year”也是线索,说明这话是她的motto座右铭。迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思,往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结,强调群体性及时间性,故不合适,message“信息”,suggestion“建议”,不合题意。
9. A. again B. more C. instead D. later
【解析】选D。考查副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大,解题关键词是介词“over”,表覆盖。选择later可以理解为“如果没有画好,稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more更多,instead代替,不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again,表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与over意思重复,paint over it later相当于 paint it again, 故不选A。
10. A. steps B. control C. charge D. risks
【解析】选D。take risks固定搭配,冒险。通读全文发现作者开始很不自信,第四段开头也提示了作者“shy”, “quiet”, 因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险,是自我突破的过程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险,因此选D。take steps是采取措施、步骤的意思,与文章主题不搭,control和charge都有控制的意思,不合题意。
11. A. improved B. acted C. looked D. reflected
【解析】选A。improve upon“改进”。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧,我们永远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败,只存在改进。act upon按照、对……起作用;look upon看待、考虑;reflect upon考虑、回顾,均不符合题意。
12. A. easily B. carefully C. confidently D. proudly
【解析】选C。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程,根据前文提示作者曾很不自信,后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔,因此选confidently。easily容易地,作者超越自我的过程并不容易;carefully小心地;创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程;proudly骄傲地,文章中没有任何体现。
13. A. introduced B. recognized C. identified D. considered
【解析】选B。introduce介绍、引入;be identified as“被确定是”,有验证身份的意思;be considered as“被认为、被当做”。be recognized as有“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思,表意更准确。
14. A. confirmed B. decided C. realized D. acknowledged
【解析】选C。解题关键词是“want”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized。迷惑项是decided决定。可以说决定要什么,但不可以说决定想什么,因为想法是不可控制的。confirm证实; acknowledge承认,与题意差别较大。
15. A. with B. below C. of D. by
【解析】选A。being with sb. 与某人在一起。这里不能选of是因为全文第一句话,Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”,所以不能说是她的团队。below和by搭配错误。
16. A. developed B. discovered C. took D. fostered
【解析】选B。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界,选discovered。迷惑项是developed, 这个词可以与interest连用表示形成了某种爱好,但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界”故排除。take interest谋利;foster培养,均不合适。
17. A. accept B. care C. judge D. wonder
【解析】选B。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”,care在乎,符合文意。accept接受;judge判断;wonder怀疑, 均不合文意。
18. A. bored B. lazy C. sad D. afraid
【解析】选D。be afraid害怕。前面说take chances冒险,后面理所当然说不要怕(失败),bored无聊的;lazy懒惰的;sad伤心的,在文中均无体现。
19. A. trust B. patience C. curiosity D. interest
【解析】选A。trust信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任,并在第二段明确使用了trust这个词,因此推断出答案。patience耐心;curiosity好奇心;interest兴趣,文中均无体现。
20. A. accessible B. enjoyable
C. possible D. favorable
【解析】选C。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”,“never imagined possible”等于“imagined impossible”认为不可能的,符合文意。accessible容易取得的; enjoyable有趣的; favorable有利的,赞同的, 均不合文意。
