1、Mr. Smith, there is a man at _____front door who says he has _____important news for you.

A. the; an         B. /; /          C. the; /       D /; an

答案C

解析试题分析：表示特指“这个前门”，故第一个空填定冠词the；第二个空 news是不可数名词，通常不用加冠词,故不用冠词，故选C。

点评：解答有关冠词的题型首先必须要把题目完完整整看清楚，理解句子意思，然后可以从三方面入手，一是习惯搭配，二是固定短语，三是具体语境分析。对于固定短语平时应多读多记。

2、The central provinces have floods in some years, and _____.

A．droughts in others B．droughts are others

C．while other droughts     D．others in droughts

答案A

解析试题分析：因为and 连接并列的两个宾语floods and droughts , some....others 这个是固定的搭配。如果把句子补充完整就变成：The central provinces have floods in some years, and have droughts in others.因为两个句子的谓语都是have ,用and 连接起来时的时候，可以省略后边一个相同的谓语，所以就变成了：The central provinces have floods in some years, and droughts in others.所以答案选A。

点评：在并列句中，省略是最常见的。一般说来，在后一并列句中凡是与上文相同的成分通常都要省略。My room is on the fifth floor, and hers (is) on the eighth (floor).我的房间在五楼，而她的在八楼。I came at right but Henry (came) at nine.我在八点来，但是亨利在九点来。

在简单句的并列结构中，也常采用省略的做法：You may go by land or (by) water.

你从陆路去或从水路去都可以。

3、–What do you think of the match?

–_____, I don't think we have a chance of winning.

A．To be honest  B．Good enough

C．I have no idea D．It is hard to say

答案A

解析试题分析：这是一组对话。上文，你认为这场比赛如何？下文，说实话，我认为我们没有赢的机会。To be honest说实话Good enough足够好I have no idea我不知道It is hard to say

很难说，根据题意，故选A。

点评：首先要理解题干的意思，根据具体语境，选择合适的答语。平时要多阅读，多听英语对话。

4、-- Tom did make it eventually.

--Yeah, really, but somebody said he was _____ than successful.

A．more lucky      B．much luckier   C．luckier     D．luck

答案A

解析试题分析：这是一组对话。上文，Tom最后成功了。下文，是的，实际上，有人说他是幸运，而不是成功。 在“More...than...”中，肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的，约等于“是……而不是……”，故选A。

点评： 在“More...than...”中，肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的，约等于“是……而不是……”如： Hearing the loud noise, the boy was more surprised than frightened.

5、He excitedly told the reporter that _____ the Nobel Prize for physics was beyond his wildest dreams.

A．given B．to give     C．giving      D．being given

答案D

解析试题分析：通过分析句子结构，可知这个句子中包含一个宾语从句。give与其逻辑主语之间是被动关系，故用动名词的被动式作宾语从句的主语，故选D。

点评：非谓语动词是英语中的重点语法项目之一，它涉及词法、句法、时态、语态和各种习惯用法，易混点比较多，在句中的位置灵活，且句法功能较多。所以学习非谓语动词时应理清非谓语动词在句中所作的成分及它们之间的区别。

A．partly       B．merely     C．nearly      D．equally

点评：把相似、相近的词语或结构放在一起作为干扰选项，若我们基础知识掌握不牢就难于区分。解答这类题目，关键是理解题干意思以及各选项词汇的意思，可以像数学中的代入法一样，依次把各个选项意思放入句子中进行比较，不难选出正确答案。

7、-- Don’t worry, Mrs Black, your son get slightly injured.

答案A

解析试题分析：这是一组对话。上文，别担心，布莱克夫人，你的儿子只是轻微的受伤。下文，可以松口气了！我将给我的丈夫打电话告诉他没什么严重的。What a relief! 可以松口气了！Well done! 做得好Good luck!祝您好运What a shame!真令人羞愧，根据题意，故选A。

点评：首先要理解题干的意思，根据具体语境，选择合适的答语。平时要多阅读，多听英语对话。

8、Please do me a favor---_____Mr. Wang of the date and place of our party.

A．to inform B．informing C．informed  D．inform

9、Firms that use computers have found that the number of staff _____ is needed for quality control can be greatly reduced.

A．whose      B．as     C．what D．that

答案D

解析试题分析：通过分析句子结构，可知这个句子中包含一个定语从句。that在定语从句中作主语，故用that。

点评： 限定性定语从句，that即可代表事物也可代表人，which代表事物；它们在从句中作主语或宾语，that在从句中作宾语时常可省略关系词，which在从句中作宾语则不能省略。而且，如果which在从句中作“不及物动词＋介词”的介词的宾语，注意介词不要丢掉，而且介词总是放在关系代词which的前边，但有的则放在它原来的位置

10、The student said there were a few points in the essay he _____ impossible to understand.

A．had found       B．finds C．has found D．would find

答案A

解析试题分析：句意，学生说他发现这篇文章里有几点很难理解。通过分析句子结构，可知这个句子中包含一个宾语从句。主句用的是一般过去时，从句要用相应的过去时态，所以这里用过去完成时。

点评：宾语从句的时态问题  1）当主句的谓语动词是一般现在时时，其宾语从句的时态可以是任何适当的时态。所以，宾语从句的时态应根据实际情况而定。2）当主句的谓语动词的时态是一般过去时的时候，其宾语从句的时态一般要用任一适当的过去时态。

11、How I wish I _____ history when I was in university.

A．study B．studied    C．would study    D．had studied

答案D

解析试题分析：wish后的宾语从句，用过去完成时表示与过去相反的情况，故选D。

点评：动词wish后接宾语从句时，从句谓语要用虚拟语气。若要表示与现在事实相反的愿望，从句谓语用一般过去时或过去进行时；若表示与过去相反的愿望，从句谓语用过去完成时或would / could+have +过去分词；若表示将来没有把握或不太可能实现的愿望，用would (could)＋动词原形。

12、All the workers are working hard to create _____ we hope will be the best means of transport in the 21st century.

A．what B．where      C．which      D．that

答案A

解析试题分析：通过分析句子结构，可知这个句子中包含一个宾语从句。宾语从句中，忽略插入语we hope，即从句变成：______  will be the best means of transport in the 21st century.

很明显，引导词在从句中作主语，表示“什么”的意思，故用what。

点评：首先用分析清楚句子结构，根据从句在整个句子中所作的成分来判断是什么从句，然后根据相应的语法规则答题。在名词性从句中，看引导词在从句中有没有担当成分，有没有具体含义，来确定引导词；在定语从句中，看关系词在从句中担当什么成分，其具体意义，来确定关系词。

13、Sherry is in good shape physically _____ she doesn’t do enough sports.

A．if       B．even though   C．unless      D．as long as

14、The old couple will never _____ the loss of their son.

A．get over   B．get away  C．get off      D．get across

答案A

解析试题分析：句意，这对老夫妻永远都不会忘了失去儿子的伤痛。get over克服 get away离开 get off下（车、马等）get across被理解，根据题意，故选A。

点评：词汇辨析是每次试卷中必然出现的题型，所以平时一定要把词汇放在句中进行记忆。在复习词汇的时候，要依据语言的横向组合和纵向聚合，按照点-线-面顺序，构建知识网络环境，对知识内容进行巩固、深化和提升，这样才能提高复习知识点的效率。这样，再做单项填空题时，就会觉得游刃有余。对于英语中的词汇用法，平时要多归纳总结，词汇用法的特殊语法规则更要特别记忆。最好把词汇放在句子中，连同句子一起记忆，这样能够加强记忆。

15、_____ and caught the mouse.

A．Up the cat jumped B．Up jumped the cat

C．The cat up jumped D．Jumped up the cat

答案B

解析试题分析：在描述情景时，为了使景象更生动，有时把here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away等方向性副词作为句子开头，句子用完全倒装。

点评：所谓完全倒装，就是将谓语动词置于主语前。完全倒装一般具有以下两个条件：①谓语动词是单个(即不带情态动词、助动词或be)的不及物动词，且只限于一般现在时或一般过去时；②主语只能是名词。在描述情景时，为了使景象更生动，有时把here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away等方向性副词作为句子开头，句子用完全倒装。此时，①句子主语必须是名词；②谓语动词通常是be, come, go, run, rush, fly, follow, fall等表示位移的不及物动词，且为一般时态；③其中的here, there不是表示地点，而是用以引起对方注重。如：Here comes the bus. 汽车来了。There goes the bell. 铃响了。Here are some advertisements about cars. 这儿是几则有关汽车的广告。

16、We’re so well educated – but we’re useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical. The only thing we’ve mastered is consumption(消费).

Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.

Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. Unfamiliar to fresher’s， there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.

I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food – poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modem education.

In 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. Robinson’s main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills.

Today’s graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on – trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.

Since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one – sided than ever.

I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.

【1】People call us useless students for the reason that         .

A．what we’ve learned is beyond consumption

B．we are educated generation

C．we’ve entered higher education

D．our living skills are so poor

【2】Which is NOT the incidents the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls?

A．He was seriously burnt by boiled eggs.

B．He was accidentally poisoned by food.

C．He damaged his clothes while ironing.

D．He was severely beaten by fresher.

【3】According to Robinson’s opinion, our current education        .

A．focuses on the importance if creativity

B．dislocates people from their natural talents

C．has equipped students with basic life skills

D．has followed the convention properly

答案：

【1】D

【2】D

【3】B

解析试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了现代教育应该加入一些生活技能的课程。

【1】根据Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills，故选D。

【2】根据I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food – poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modem education.故选D。

【3】根据Robinson’s main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents.所以答案为B。
