　　A．whisperedB．a(chǎn)nswered

　　C．spoke

　　D．talked

　　答案：A　動詞辨析題。C、D項(xiàng)均為不及物動詞，可直接排除，B項(xiàng)表示回答，不合句意；而whisper sth. in one's ear表示“跟某人耳語”。

　　him ________ from the crowd.

　　A．pick; up

　　B．work; out

　　C．pick; out

　　答案：C　短語辨析題。pick up“撿起”；work out“算出”；choose from “從……中選擇”，from之后要跟整體；pick out“挑出，認(rèn)出”。從句意“我兒子很高，我從人群中一眼就能把他認(rèn)出來。”可知選C。

　　A．she had fallen; than

　　B．had she fallen; than

　　C．she had fallen; when

　　D．had she fallen; when

　　答案：B　no sooner...than...表示“一……就……”，且no sooner 放于句首時，需部分倒裝，故答案為B。

　　A．eager; eager

　　B．a(chǎn)nxious; anxious

　　C．eager; anxious

　　D．a(chǎn)nxious; eager

　　5．“Run！” Jack shouted, ________ her arm by force.

　　A．seized

　　B．seizing

　　C．caught

　　D．grasped

　　答案：B　Jack與seize之間為主動關(guān)系，故用v.-ing形式，seizing在此處作伴隨狀語。

　　6．The T-shirt ________ on the chair is mine.

　　A．having hung

　　B．hanging

　　C．hangs

　　D．being hung

　　答案：B　句意：掛在椅子上的T恤衫是我的。“hanging on the chair”此處是分詞短語作后置定語。

　　7．(2011·西南師大附中)On no account________to the teacher.

　　A．is this the first time he has lied

　　B．this is the first time he has lied

　　C．is this the first time has he lied

　　D．this is the first time he is lying

　　答案：A　考查倒裝和“某人第幾次做某事”句式。on no account“絕不”放在句首，主句倒裝；該題主句是“某人第幾次做某事”句式，該句式的主句是this is the first time，所以其倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)該以this is the first time進(jìn)行變化。

　　8．(2024·山東省實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)高三診斷測試)The movie originally ________ for children under 12 is now being used to educate adults.

　　A．intended

　　B．being intended

　　C．to be intended

　　D．having been intended

　　答案：A　主句是The movie is now being used to educate adults.過去分詞短語 originally intended for children under 12作后置定語修飾the movie.短語be intended for……打算為……所用， 預(yù)定給……。

　　9．The project ________ by the end of 2024 will expand the city's telephone network to cover 20, 000, 000 users.

　　A．a(chǎn)ccomplished

　　B．to be accomplished

　　C．being accomplished

　　D．having been accomplished

　　答案：B　accomplish與the project之間存在被動關(guān)系，而且2024年還未到來，表示將來應(yīng)用不定式的被動式作定語。

　　10．The weather station ________ warn people of the coming of strong winds and predict their movement.

　　A．serves to

　　B．serves for

　　C．serves as

　　D．services

　　答案：A　從空缺處后的動詞warn可知B、C兩項(xiàng)錯誤，D項(xiàng)services(名詞)表示服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)，與station在語義上重復(fù)，而A項(xiàng)serve作謂語，to warn...and predict作目的狀語，合乎語義與語法，serve to do“產(chǎn)生……的效果或結(jié)果；作……之用；有助于……”，答案為A。

　　11．(2011·山西太谷中學(xué)摸底考試)I don't expect anything in ________； I did it because I enjoyed it.

　　A．a(chǎn)wardB．rewardC．prizeD．praise

　　—Sorry, my son, but only the grown-ups are ________ into the cinema.

　　A．designed

　　B．intended

　　C．a(chǎn)dmitted D．contained

　　13．(2010·福建福州三中高三月考)After the ________ journey from Jiuzhaigou, Tom returned home, ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)mazing; excited

　　B．a(chǎn)mazing; excitedly

　　C．a(chǎn)mazed; excited

　　D．a(chǎn)mazing; exciting

　　答案：A　句意：在九寨溝神奇之旅后，湯姆興奮地返回了家。amazing表示“令人驚奇的”修飾物；excited表示“感到興奮的”，是形容詞作狀語。

　　14．(2010·杭州地區(qū)七校期中聯(lián)考)Although a large ________ of money was used and a ________ of doctors and nurses lost their lives in fighting against SARS, Chinese people were able to win the battle in the end.

　　A．number; amount

　　B．a(chǎn)mount; number

　　C．number; number

　　D．a(chǎn)mount; amount

　　答案：B　句意：雖然在抗擊非典中花費(fèi)了大量資金，很多醫(yī)生和護(hù)士還失去了生命，但是中國人民最后取得了戰(zhàn)斗的勝利。a large amount of和a number of都可以表示“大量”，前者用來修飾不可數(shù)名詞，后者用來修飾復(fù)數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。

　　15．(2010·江西撫州一中高三同步考試)Large amounts of water ________ been pumped from the mine where an explosion happened yesterday.

　　A．hadB．would haveC．hasD．have

　　答案：D　句意：已經(jīng)從昨天發(fā)生爆炸的煤礦中抽出了大量的水。此句的主語是amounts，所以謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。假如選擇A項(xiàng)，意味著在爆炸之前已經(jīng)從煤礦中抽出了大量的水，顯然不符合語境。

　　.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his pen name.

　　Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother's tender care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all of his friends and neighbours. He didn't like to go to school, and he constantly ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi. He was nearly drowned nine times.

　　After his father's death in 1847, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full-time writer.

　　In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him a great fortune.

　　Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments (投資) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of their children passed away.

　　At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties. He wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 21, 1910.

　　1．Mark Twain left school at 12 to ________.

　　B．write stories

　　C．join the army

　　D．make a living

　　答案：D　細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段首句出生于1835；再據(jù)第三段他父親死于1847可知他那時12歲；由第三段首句，“Mark Twain began to work...”可知，答案為D。

　　2．Which of the following about Mark Twain is NOT true?

　　A．He was not a healthy boy.

　　B．He caused much trouble for his parents.

　　C．He gained lots of money by writing.

　　D．He had a happy childhood but a sad later life.

　　答案：D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段首句可知A項(xiàng)正確，第二段的第四句可判斷B項(xiàng)正確，根據(jù)第四段尾句可知C項(xiàng)正確，D項(xiàng)與文章所述事實(shí)不符。故答案為D。

　　3．Arrange the following facts about Mark Twain's life in order of time.

　　a．working as a printer

　　B

　　Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices (偏見) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously (匿名)．

　　But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增強(qiáng)) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.

　　The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.

　　You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.

　　6．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Austen once lived in Bath during the last five years of the eighteenth century.

　　B．Austen knew very well about Bath.

　　C．The shop there offers books signed by Austen.

　　D．The city was built according to what was described in Austen's novels.

　　答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從第二段第二句可知，奧斯汀在巴斯居住的時間是1801～1806年，應(yīng)排除A項(xiàng)：根據(jù)第二段第三句“Her deep knowledge of the city...”判斷，奧斯汀對巴斯非常了解；根據(jù)第三段可知，那里的商店可提供與奧斯汀有關(guān)的書籍，但不可能是她簽名的，因?yàn)樗?817年去世了；第二段介紹巴斯這座城市時，說到奧斯汀小說中大部分是以巴斯這座城市為背景而寫的。

　　7．Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath ________.

　　A．in her early twenties

　　B．in her early teens

　　C．in her late twenties

　　D．in her late teens

　　答案：A　細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。簡·奧斯汀出生于1775年，第二段第二句話告訴讀者她在18世紀(jì)的最后5年(1795～1799)兩次參觀巴斯，可推算是在她20多歲的初期。

　　8．What can we learn about Bath from the passage?

　　A．Bath has greatly changed since Jane Austen's death.

　　B．The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it.

　　C．Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time.

　　D．No changes have taken place in Bath since Jane Austen's time.

　　答案：C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中間“The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels.”可知，這所城市和簡·奧斯汀當(dāng)時的情況依然很相像。

　　9．The author writes this passage in order to ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)ttract readers to visit the city of Bath

　　B．a(chǎn)sk readers to buy Austen's books

　　C．tell readers about Jane Austen's experience

　　D．give a brief introduction to the Austen Society

　　答案：A　作者意圖題。文章第一段介紹了著名作家奧斯汀以引起讀者的興趣，從第二段開始文章介紹奧斯汀曾對巴斯進(jìn)行兩次長期造訪、曾于1801～1806年居住于巴斯，現(xiàn)在的巴斯和當(dāng)時幾乎一樣，并建有奧斯汀中心，這些都是為了吸引人們到巴斯來參觀。
