I.单项填空
1.American women usually identify their best friend as someone________they can talk frequently.
A.who
B.about which
C.as
D.with whom
解析: 考查定语从句。with whom引导定语从句,修饰先行词someone,with与talk构成固定搭配,表示“与……交谈”。
答案: D
2. “Meals on wheels” is a free service,________hot meals are delivered to elderly people who may not be able to move around very easily.
A.that
B.which
C.where
D.what
解析: 考查定语从句。where是引导词,引导定语从句修饰先行词service,where在从句中作状语。
答案: C
3.They left without leaving a message,________was more than we had expected.
A.what B.which
C.that D.when
解析: 考查定语从句。句意为:他们没有留下口信就离开了,这远远出乎我们的意料。which引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,代指前面整句话的内容。
答案: B
4.Sometimes, regret is a normal,________response to a failure when you could have done better.
A.effective B.efficient
C.inevitable D.unforgettable
答案与解析:C 形容词的辨析,当你面对原本可以做得更好的事情的失败时,后悔的心理是难以避免的,所以选择C项。
5.—It's difficult for college graduates to find a good job in China.
—It depends on whether they have ________ it takes to be successful in today's world.
A.that B.which
C.what D.whether
答案与解析:C 考查名词性从句。本句意思为:那取决于他们是否具有立足世界所需要(的素质)。what引导宾语从句,同时又在此从句中作动词take(需要)的宾语。综上选C项。
6.He doesn’t like the way________you treat a girl.
A.which B.that
C.in that D.by which
解析: 当way在从句中指方式时,它后面的定语从句中的关系代词常用that,in which或者不填。这里的that不能与which替换。
答案: B
7.Only when he returned________that the war had ended and the army had come back.
A.we tell B.we told
C.did we tell D.were we told
解析: 考查only的倒装用法。only+状语从句放在句首时,句子应部分倒装;结合语意可知应用被动语态。
答案: D
8.It must be kept in mind that________lifelong study can you survive in the highly competitive society.
A.only when B.until then
C.only through D.until when
解析: 根据题干后面的can you survive in the highly competitive society可知,这是一个倒装句。而根据选项可知,能构成倒装的只有A、C两项。此外,因为题干中的lifelong study是名词短语,而不是句子,不能用when,故答案是C。语意为:必须牢记在心的是,只有通过终生学习,你才能在竞争激烈的社会中生存。
答案: C
9.Only if________the examinations________get the gift promised by your father.
A.you have passed;you will
B.have you passed;will you

答案: C
10.Although the working mother is very busy,she still________a lot of time to her children.
A.devotes B.spends
C.offers D.provides
解析: 句意为:尽管这位职业女性非常忙,但她仍然在孩子身上花很多时间。由于后面的介词是to,所以不可以使用spend,其余选项不合语境。
答案: A
11.________to his research work,the professor cared little about any other things.
A.Devoting B.Devoted
C.Having devoted D.To devote
解析: devote是及物动词,一般用法是sb.is devoted to(doing)sth.或devote oneself to(doing)sth.。本句中the professor和devote之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词形式devoted作原因状语。本句话意思是“教授致力于研究工作,对其他任何事情都关心甚少”。
答案: B
12.Mr Reed made up his mind to devote all he had to________some schools for poor children.
A.set up B.setting up
C.have set up D.having set up
解析: 此题中的had to 与set up 并不构成搭配,因为he had 为定语从句,修饰先行词all,set up 应与devote all...to 构成搭配(devote...to...中的to为介词,后接名词、代词或动名词),即devote all to setting up。
答案: B
13 The time he has devoted in the past few years________the disabled is now considered________of great value.
A.to help;being B.to help;to be
C.to helping;to be D.to helping;being
解析: devote...to doing...为固定搭配,to为介词,后接动名词作宾语。consider作“考虑”讲时,后接动名词作宾语;作“认为”讲时,后接名词、形容词、动词不定式作宾补。
答案: C
14.The Dragon Tower,from________top visitors can enjoy a good________of Harbin,attracts hundreds of tourists every day.
A.which;sight B.whose;view
C.its;view D.where;sight
解析: 考查定语从句。该句的先行词是The Dragon Tower,在从句中表示所属关系,应该用关系代词whose。第二空为常用短语a good view of,表示“清楚地看到……”,据此选B项。
答案: B
15. Remember that there is still one point________we must make clear at the conference tomorrow.
A.where B.why
C.when D.that
解析: 考查定语从句。解定语从句题的关键是:在主句中找出先行词,该句的先行词是one point,然后把先行词“代入”从句中,判断其在从句中的“地位”和“作用”,这里先行词在从句中作make clear的宾语,所以用关系代词that/which引导定语从句并在从句中作宾语,据此选D项。
答案: D
16.Her son,to whom she was so________,went abroad ten years ago,________her alone in the small village.
A.loved;leaving B.devoted;left
C.devoted;leaving D.affected;leaving
解析: be devoted to sb.相当于love sb.很喜欢某人,句中devoted后的to移至whom之前。句意为:她非常疼爱的儿子去年去了国外,留下她一个人在小村子里。
答案: C
17. Fitness is important in sport,but of at least________importance are skills.
A.fair B.reasonable
C.equal D.proper
解析: equal相等的,同等的,(be) of equal importance意为“同样重要”。句意为:在比赛中,身体状态是重要的,但是比赛技巧至少也同等重要。
答案: C
18.In the face of the big fire in Moscow in 2010,many people in the firestricken areas moved out________.
A.to escape burning B.to escape being burned
C.escaping burned D.escaping from burning
解析: 句意为:由于2010年莫斯科大火,许多被大火威胁的人们搬了出去以免被烧伤。由句意可知空格处为目的状语,故用动词不定式的形式,可排除C、D项,此处表示“逃脱被烧”,故B项正确。
答案: B
19. She’s in a hopeless situation,________we will keep a very close eye on.
A.where B.when
C.which D.that
解析: 考查定语从句。定语从句的解题关键是:在主句中找出先行词,该句的先行词是a hopeless situation,然后把先行词“代入”从句中,判断其在从句中的“地位”和“作用”,此处关系词在从句中作on的宾语,同时这里又是非限制性定语从句,所以应该用关系代词which,选C项。
答案: C
20.The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is a big stage,________many new actors or actresses are to become famous.
A.where B.when
C.that D.which
解析: 考查定语从句。分析题干可以看出,stage是一个地点,而在定语从句中充当地点状语的引导词只有where,故选A。
答案: A

语篇解读:文章告诉我们 为了减少不必要的敲门,聪明的流浪汉们通过在房子的门口做一标记来向同伴们表明主人是否友好。文章通过精彩的动作描写,心理描写,对比的手法表现得淋漓尽致。
1.A.employed B.made
C.taken D.put up
解析:后面的不定式告诉我们,这里要表达的意思是:这些特殊的符号语被流浪 者们频繁使用,来告诉他们的同伴们房子的主人是不是友好。employ在这里用作 及物动词,意思是:使用,利用。
答案:A
2.A.parents B.classmates
C.fellows D.friends
解析:由下文所举的例子来看,这是流浪汉们用来交流的符号。
答案:C
3.A.share B.save
C.give D.put
解析:由常识可知,知道了房子的主人是否友好,自然就可免去没有必要的敲门 了。save“免除,节省”。
答案:B

解析:由下文的“came across”可以看出,我那次遇到真正的流浪汉是非常偶然 的。所以选by chance(偶然)。
答案:D
5.A.with B.in
C.by D.on
解析:in后面加表示衣服的词语,表示“穿着”。当主语为表示衣服的词语时, 介词on后加表示人的词语。
答案:B
6.A.a fashion B.a design
C.pieces D.blocks
解析:“into pieces”在这里描述流浪汉的衣服破旧的状态,几乎成了碎片。前 面的“a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn...”是很好的暗示。
答案:C
7.A.success B.care
C.failure D.family
解析:前文告诉我们,这个流浪汉穿着非常差,但是看上去非常高兴,这里作者 作了个比喻,说他不像一个失败者。failure失败的人。

解析:make a turn为固定搭配,意为“转身”。
答案:D
9.A.drawing B.kissing
C.correcting D.studying
解析:由下文的“the tramp's face lit up”可以看出,流浪汉看到上面的记号眼前 一亮,也就是说,他是在研究(studying)记号,而不是做记号。
答案:D
10.A.pleased B.strange
C.funny D.exciting
解析:由“the tramp's face lit up”可以看出,这个记号虽然对我们没有多大的意 义,但对于这位流浪汉来说却非常令人兴奋(exciting)。
答案:D
11.A.surprise B.satisfaction
C.worry D.disappointment
解析:由下文“confidently”和后来所发生的事以及流浪汉原来表情的对比可以 看出,当时他非常满意。
答案:B
12.A.rise B.put on
C.raise D.throw
解析:在敲门前,流浪汉把帽子抬高了一点。raise抬起,举起:把… …移到一个 较高的位置。而不是扔掉(throw)帽子。前文已经告诉我们他戴着帽子(On his head there was a battered old hat),所以排除了put on,rise是不及物动词,也应 该排除。
答案:C
13.A.conversation B.introduction
C.quarrel D.greeting
解析:这里指的是流浪汉和房主人不愉快的谈话(conversation)。
答案:A
14.A.happy B.frightened

答案:C
17.A.Digging B.Stealing

18.A.existed B.moving
C.shining D.existing
解析:exist是不及物动词,所以不能用过去分词作定语,要用existing,意思是 “存在的,现有的”。
答案:D
19.A.belongings B.clothes
C.umbrella D.stick
解析:由语境和常识可知,这里指的是流浪汉所有的东西,包括前面提到的“a small parcel”,所以选belongings(所有物)。
答案:A
20.A.step B.position
C.pace D.situation
解析:这里侧重的是“步行的速度”,所以要用pace。step和pace这两个名词均 含“步,步态”之意。step指脚抬起落下的动作和一步的距离。而pace指身体向 前移动的速度和情况。表一步距离时,可与step换用。
答案:C
Ⅲ.阅读理解
I was in a rush as always,but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for!I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries.A PhD student with not a lot of money,I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening.I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston,a place not always known for small conversation between strangers.The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me.She smiled.It was a nice smile—warm and reassuring—and I returned her_gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady,whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,”she said.
“Yes,she's special,”I said,and then to my embarrassment,the words kept coming out.“It's only our second date,but somehow I am just having the feeling she's the one',”Jokingly,I added,“The only pr oblem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me.”
“Well,I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,”the woman said.“My husba nd used to bring me flowers every week—even when times were tough and we didn't have much money.Thos e were incredible days;he was very romantic and—of course—I miss him since he's passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries.There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said,“You were right,you know.These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.”I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased.“You have a wonderful evening,” I said.I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightl y late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story.A coupl e of years later,when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me,she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her—that was the night that I won her heart.
