　　.單項填空

　　1．I suggest not only________to the meeting but also give a speech there.

　　A．did he go B．should he go

　　C．he should go

　　D．his going

　　答案：B　考查虛擬語氣和倒裝。句意：我建議他不僅參加會議，還要在會上發言。由句意知，suggest所接的從句應該用“should＋動詞原形”的虛擬語氣；再由not only...but also...的用法知，not only所接分句應該用部分倒裝；因此選B項。

　　2．More and more people choose to shop in supermarkets, for they are especially interested in the______of goods on offer.

　　A．price

　　B．variety

　　C．value

　　D．amount

　　答案：B　price“價格”；value“價值”；amount“數量”，這三個詞均與supermarket和on offer在語義上有聯系，而variety體現了超市的特點。句意：越來越多的人選擇在超市購物，因為他們對于種類繁多的出售商品很感興趣。

　　3．The Town Council spent a lot of money to________the old castle and other places of historic interest.

　　A．guard

　　B．reserve

　　C．arrange

　　D．preserve

　　答案：D　句意：鎮議會/鎮民代表會花了很多錢來維修那座古城堡和其他歷史古跡。preserve“保護，維修”，符合題意。guard“守衛，警戒”；reserve“保留，預訂”；arrange“安排”，均不符合語境。

　　4．You played football the whole afternoon.________you are so tired.

　　A．No problem

　　B．No way

　　C．No wonder

　　D．No doubt

　　答案：C　句意：你踢了一整個下午的足球，難怪你那么累。踢足球是累的原因，故用no wonder。其他三項不符合語境。

　　5．—He is________interested in English.

　　—He often works at it until________into the night.

　　A．deep; deeply

　　B．deep; deep

　　C．deeply; deep

　　D．deeply; deeply

　　答案：C　句意：他對英語非常感興趣，經常學習英語到深夜。deep用于具體的深度，包括空間和時間，它不能修飾形容詞。而deeply用于抽象、比喻意義，與表達情感的動詞、形容詞或過去分詞連用。

　　6．To ride in an aeroplane you have to book in________.

　　A．ahead

　　B．public

　　C．advance

　　D．presence

　　答案：C　in advance“提前”。句意：要乘飛機必須提前訂票。in public“在公共場合”；in presence“出現，存在”。

　　7．In October, the price of the________to Mount Tai has risen by 50 yuan.

　　A．permission

　　B．admission

　　C．introduction

　　D．instruction

　　答案：B　permission“允許”；admission“入場費”；introduction“引入；介紹”；instruction“指導”。根據the price和to Mount Tai判斷，此處指到泰山的“門票”，所以用admission。

　　8．Not only China but also other countries________trying to develop their own economy.

　　A．is

　　B．are

　　C．has

　　D．be

　　答案：B　句意：不僅中國，還有其他國家也在盡力發展自己的經濟。根據主謂一致中的就近原則，此句中的謂語動詞與other countries在人稱和數上保持一致，因此用are。

　　9．You are very cool with your brother, but with your classmates you________.

　　A．come to yourself

　　B．come to life

　　C．come to an end

　　D．come out

　　答案：B　句意：你對你弟弟冷冰冰的，但跟同學在一起卻很活躍。come to life“活躍起來，蘇醒過來”，符合語境。come to oneself“蘇醒過來”；come to an end“結束”；come out“出現，顯露，發表”，均不符合語境。

　　10．—What is your favourite________of sports clothing?

　　—Nike.

　　A．brand

　　B．size

　　C．length

　　D．width

　　答案：A　由答語(Nike)可知，問句句意：你最喜歡的運動服的品牌是什么？brand意思是“商標，牌子”。

　　11．We should try every effort to prevent violence happening at school，________more and more students would drop out of school________their personal safety could not be guaranteed.

　　A．for; now that

　　B．for; if

　　C．though; so long as

　　D．though; if only

　　答案：B　第一個空表示原因，第二個空表示條件。句意：我們應該竭盡全力阻止校園暴力的發生，因為如果人身安全得不到保障的話，就會有越來越多的學生輟學。so long as也可用在第二空中表示條件。

　　12．Eat________cake you like and leave the rest for________comes late.

　　A．any; who

　　B．every; whoever

　　C．whichever; whoever

　　D．either; whoever

　　答案：C　whichever表示“無論哪一個”，作cake的定語；whoever既作介詞for的賓語，又充當comes的主語。

　　13．We can produce shoes________after the fashions of different markets or according to buyers' samples.

　　A．modelled

　　B．designed

　　C．requested

　　D．made

　　答案：A　句意：我們按不同市場的流行款式或客戶來樣來制作鞋子。be modelled after為固定搭配，意為“根據……模仿/制造”，此處用過去分詞作后置定語。design“設計”；request“請求，要求”；make“制造”，make after“追逐，跟隨”。

　　14．When I came ________ with the teenager hidden in the cave, I was surprised to find him ________ covered with dust.

　　A．face-to-face；entirely

　　B．face to face; entire

　　C．in face of; completely

　　D．face to face; entirely

　　答案：D　句意：當我走到藏在洞里的少年面前時，我吃驚地發現他滿身塵土。come face to face with sb.“走到某人面前”；第二個空用副詞修飾covered。

　　15．Come to Dollywood to have fun ________ all about America's historical southeastern culture!

　　A．to learn

　　B．learning

　　C．learn

　　D．learned

　　答案：B　句意：來多萊塢放松心情了解美國東南地區的歷史文化吧！have fun doing sth.是一個固定句式，意為“做某事玩得開心；愉快地做某事”。故選B。

　　Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these place an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”， as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.

　　All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions (傳統) I”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.

　　After passing “Traditions I”， the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific (具體的) jobs. No detail (細節) is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.”

　　Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail (單軌車), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week help them to see the company's goals more clearly.

　　All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”

　　文章大意：本文介紹了Disney成功吸引顧客的秘訣。

　　1．The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees ________.

　　A．begin by receiving on-the-job training

　　B．must learn several jobs

　　C．begin as ticket takers

　　D．have already attended Disney University

　　答案：A　細節理解題。由第二段首句“All new employees... by attending Disney University and taking ‘Traditions I’．”可知，新員工先要進行崗前培訓。

　　2．Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to ________.

　　A．set a good example for employees

　　B．remind themselves of their beginnings at Disney

　　C．gain a better view of the company's objectives

　　D．replace employees on holiday

　　答案：C　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段末句“The managers agree that this week help them to see the company's goals more clearly.”可判斷經理們這樣做的目的是為了更好地了解公園。

　　3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A．Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.

　　B．Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.

　　C．Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.

　　D．Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。迪斯尼樂園以其眾多的游樂節目吸引世界游客；從副總裁到一般職員均受到專業培訓，故均能勝任各項工作；游客在此可盡興玩耍，但卻不能在游樂中學到該樂園的歷史。該題可以用排除法得知答案為A項。

　　4．This passage is mainly about ________.

　　A．how Disney employees are trained

　　B．the history and traditions of the Disney enterprises

　　C．why Disney enterprises make a lot of money

　　D．the importance Disney place on serving people well

　　答案：C　主旨大意題。文章主要講述了迪斯尼公園成功經營的秘訣，由此可知答案為C項。

　　B

　　Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mou-

　　ntains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基礎設施) that must be maintained.

　　Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.

　　Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.

　　Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.

　　Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.

　　Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.

　　A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.

　　文章大意：約塞米蒂國家公園的基礎設施正在崩潰，原因是游客過多，公園沒有進行及時的維護。他們為什么不進行維修呢？因為他們的行動受到了環保組織Sierra Club的阻攔。

　　5．According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated from________.

　　A. the bottom of the valleys

　　B. the top of the mountains

　　C. the side of the mountains

　　D. the edge of the valleys

　　答案：A　細節理解題。從文章第一段第二句可以得知，選項A為正確答案。

　　6．National parks like Yosemite in the US find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because________.

　　A. their transport management needs improving

　　B. they spend too much on their service systems

　　C. their service systems frequently go out of order
