21. Having a trip around the country is certainly good for the old couple, but it remains______ whether they will enjoy it.
A.to see B.to be seen C.seeing D.seen
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查固定用法。it remains to be seen为固定用法,意思为“尚不确定,说不准”,but后面的分句是一个含有主语从句的复合句,it为这一复合句的形式主语,真正的主语为whether they will enjoy it,故答案为B)。
22. It was suggested that the construction______ahead of time. A.is completed B.was completed C.be completed D.must complete
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。虚拟语气用在包含suggest,demand,propose等表示建议、命令等的主语从句、宾语从句中时,从句谓语动词常为“(should+)动词原形”。又由于从句中的主语the construction与后面的动词是被动关系,故本题答案为C)。
23. Only when class began______that he had lost his bag in the street. A.will he realize B.he did realize C.did he realize D.should he realize
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查倒装结构。当“only+状语/状语从句”位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构,即将助动词或情态动词放在主语前面,且主句的时态为过去时,所以答案为C)。
24. All the preparations for the task______, and we re ready to start. A.completed B.complete
C.have completed
D.have been completed
正确答案:D 解析:本题考查现在完成时的被动语态。表示已经发生的动作对现在产生的影响时,应用现在完成时态。All the preparations和complete之间是被动关系,
所以应用被动语态,因此空格处应用现在完成时的被动语态,所以答案为D)。
25. Do you know______they talked about yesterday evening? A.what B.when C.why D.how
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查宾语从句。本题空格处所填词既要能引导一个从句作know的宾语,又能作talked about的宾语,这种情况下,只能用what,故选A)。
26. Many a specialist______ looking forward to attending that conference now and they______ plants in the last two years to prepare for it.
A.is: have been studying B.is: has been studying C.are: have been studying D.is: are studying
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查主谓一致。many a意为“很多”,但它强调个体,即“每一个”,因此谓语动词应用单数形式。句中的时间状语是in the last two years,说明句中谓语动词表示的动作发生在过去;结合句意可知,这一动作从两年前开始一直持续到现在,将来可能还会继续,因此第二个空格所在分句应用现在完成进行时,故A)正确。
27. I don’t think you can finish the project in one month, ______? A.don’t I B.can I C.can you D.can’t you
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查反义疑问句。对于含有宾语从句的主从复合句,若陈述句为I/we(don’t)+think,believe,expect等表示想法、意见、猜测的动词+宾语从句,反义疑问句的谓语动词和主语应同宾语从句的谓语动词和主语保持一致。如果主句是否定式,反义疑问句要用肯定式;如果主句是肯定式,反义疑问句要用否定式。因此,本题答案为C)。
28. Tracy said the work would be done by July, ______personally I doubt very much.
A.it B.that C.when
D.which
正确答案:D
解析:本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,逗号后应是一个which引导的非限制性定语从句,which既指代前面整个句子,同时又作后面句子中doubt的宾语,故答案为D)。
29. On weekends there are a lot of children playing in the park, ______parents seated together joking.
A.their B.whose C.which D.that
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查独立主格结构。seat作动词时,意为”(房间、车辆、桌子等)坐得下……人,能提供给……座位”,主语为人时,句子用被动语态,因此空格后的动词seated不是谓语,而是seat这个动词的过去分词,即非谓语动词,由此可知逗号后面的成分在本句作独立主格结构,所以答案为A)。
30. Tom said in his letter that he would appreciate______from you as soon as possible.
A.to have heard B.to hear C.for hearing D.hearing
正确答案:D
解析:本题考查动名词。即appreciate doing sth.是常考用法,表示“感激做某事”,只有D)符合要求。
Section BDirections: There are also 5 incomplete statements here.You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.
31. It is(embarrass) ______to be found stealing something.
正确答案:embarrassing
解析:本题考查词形转换。在本题中,It是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式结构to be found stealing something。is是系动词,后面应该跟形容词作表语。embarrass为动词,其形容词形式有embarrassing和embarrassed两种,因主语为事件,故此处应该填入embarrassing“令人尴尬的,使人难堪的”。
32. Helen isn’t here because I forgot(telephone) ______her.
正确答案:to telephone 解析:本题考查不定式。forget后接不定式作宾语,表示“忘记要去做某事”;其后也可跟动名词,表示“忘记已经做过某事”。由主句可知,“我”忘记要给海伦打电话,故空格处应填to telephone。
33. Earthquakes often cause great(destroy) ______of life and property.
正确答案:destruction 解析:本题考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知,空格处作动词cause的宾语,因此应填入名词。destroy是动词,其名词形式是destruction。
34. By the end of last month, our factory(produce)______3 000 motors.
正确答案:had produced 解析:本题考查过去完成时。由句首的时间状语可知,句子应用过去完成时,表示到过去某个时间为止已经发生或完成的动作,故空格处应填had produced。
35. The teacher warned that anyone who was caught(cheat) ______during the test would be punished.
正确答案:cheating
解析:本题考查现在分词。在that引导的宾语从句中,又含有一个who引导的定语从句,在此定语从句中,who为主语,谓语动词为was caught,其后应接现在分词说明主语在被捉住时发生的动作,因此,空格处应填cheating。

When people say that Cambridge is a university town, they do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is a place where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town, it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market places and so on, but most of it is university—colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the present day college system. Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their courses: the numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings
at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning, he must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week. Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge during the five minutes any morning of the term, you’ll know that you are in a university town. Stop in some place, and wait.
36. Why do people call Cambridge a university town? A.Because Cambridge is as big as a town.
B.Because Cambridge is a real town with a university in it.
C.Because the university buildings are not clearly separated from the rest of the city.
D.Because Cambridge’s buildings match well with the rest of the town.
正确答案:C
解析:根据文章第一段第一、二句可知,剑桥城之所以被称为大学城是因为大学的建筑与该城市的其他部分没有明显的界线。故C)为正确答案。
37. The word “it” in “but most of it is university” refers to______. A.the rest of the town B.the university town C.the university
D.the heart of Cambridge
正确答案:B
解析:根据文章第一段最后一句可知,剑桥城的中心地区有商店、饭店和市场等,但是它的大部分是大学——学院、图书馆、俱乐部和其他一些供学校师生活动的地方。该句中的it指的是Cambridge“剑桥城”。故B)为正确答案。
38. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT true? A.Cambridge has a long history.
B.The town was built earlier than Cambridge.
C.Many students lacked money, so colleges were opened.
D.It was more expensive for students to live in colleges than in lodgings.
正确答案:D
解析:根据文章第二段第一、二句可知,这个城镇先于剑桥城存在,后来到13世纪成为一个学习中心,由此推断选项A)和B)正确;由该段第三、四句可知,那时大学生贫穷,付不起住宿费,因此大学里开始有一些学院为学生提供便宜的住宿,因此C)正确,D)错误。因此本题答案为D)。
39. What is impossible for the students to do in Cambridge?
A.Having all the meals outside the college each week. B.Keeping bikes in the college. C.Living in lodgings.
D.Living in college for their final year of the course.
正确答案:A
解析:根据文章第三段最后一句可知,每个学生从一入校就是学院的一员,每周都必须在学院食堂吃几顿饭。因此本题答案为A)。
40. Why do people find it hard to drive in Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures?
A.Because there are a large number of cars in the streets.
B.Because there are too many buildings in the university town.
C.Because the streams of people on bicycles are going in all directions. D.Because there is strict speed limit for the cars.
正确答案:C 解析:根据文章最后一段第二句可知,试图在课间的五分钟时间在大学城内开车很难,因为你会发现到处都是骑自行车的拥挤的人群。故C)为正确答案。
Task 2Directions:This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
India is the world’s biggest gold consumer, but the country’s passion for the yellow metal is waning(逐渐减弱). Record high prices and the recent economic recession have taken away some of the glitter of gold. The country’s passion for gold is rooted in culture and custom. Gold ornaments(装饰品) are a traditional wedding present to brides and a gift of the precious metal during their religious festivals means good fortune. It is a traditional gift on other important occasions, such as the birth of a child. But shop owners say now they only see “essential customers”—those who have to buy for the marriage of a son or a daughter. Even these buyers are scaling back on purchases. Some are passing on traditional hereditary(遗传的) treasures, instead of buying new gold. Others are cutting back on the quantity of gold they buy and opting for ornaments of lesser weight. Gold is getting hit not just by the surging prices. In the big cities, the attraction of the precious metal is waning, as trends change. The new status symbol of the country’s wealthy class is no longer jewelry, but expensive mobile phones, iPods or designer labels. However, in a country where the love of gold dates back centuries, jewelry shop owners say they will wait patiently for sales to pick up. As has happened many times in the past, they are hoping that customers will flock back, once they get accustomed to the higher prices.
41. The reason for the decline of gold sales is that______.
A.the prices of gold are rising
B.the price is high and the economy is not satisfying C.people no longer like gold as before D.there are too much gold on the market
正确答案:B
解析:根据文章首段末句可知,黄金价格上涨及经济衰退使黄金销量下降,由此可知答案为B)。
42. The fact that Indian people are crazy about gold results from______. A.the fact that gold is an important gift for weddings B.celebration of the birth of a child C.culture and custom
D.a gift of religious festivals
正确答案:C 解析:根据文章第二段首句可知,印度人酷爱黄金的根本原因在于他们的文化和风俗,并在后面两句加以举例说明。因此,本题答案为C)。
43. What do some people do for the marriage of a son or a daughter now? A.They buy much new gold.
B.They choose a large quantity of gold.
C.They pass on traditional hereditary treasures. D.They choose ornaments of much weight.
正确答案:C
解析:文章第三段倒数第二句提到,一些人不再买新黄金,而是选择把传家宝传给孩子。由此可知,一些人会在儿子或女儿结婚时把传家宝传给孩子,因此C)正确。
44. The country’s wealthy class has a tendency to prefer______. A.jewelry and gold
B.gold and mobile phones C.designer labels and iPods D.jewelry and mobile phones
正确答案:C
解析:根据文章第四段第三句可知,印度的富裕阶层现在喜欢的不是珠宝,而是昂贵的手机、iPods及名牌产品,因此C)为本题答案。
45. The jewelry shop owners’ attitude towards the future situation can be described as______.
A.indifferent B.optimistic
C.pessimistic D.angry
正确答案:B 解析:文章最后一段提到,在这个对黄金的喜爱可以追溯到好几个世纪前的国家,珠宝店老板说他们会耐心等待销量上升。正如以前发生过很多次的情况一样,他们希望顾客在习惯了高昂的价格后还会回来。由此可知,珠宝店老板们认为以后销量会上涨,认为顾客还会回来,说明他们对前景比较乐观,故答案应选B)。

A.人们不自信地信任别人,只为了让他们自己过得快乐。 B.没有自信的人靠别人的怜悯来使自己感觉舒服。
C.缺乏自信心的人过分依赖他人的赞赏来使自己感觉良好。
正确答案:C 解析:C)一B)一A)。解答本题的关键在于对句子结构的分析。who are not self—confident修饰的是前面的People,in order to feel good about themselves是目的状语,表示“为使自己感觉良好”。
62. You just can’t do everything on your own if you want to remain competitive and strong in modern society.
A.你自己不能做所有的事情,尽管你想在现代社会中保持竞争力和强壮。 B.你不能独立做所有的事情,尽管你想在现代社会中保持竞争力和强壮。 C.如果你想在现代社会中保持竞争力、保持强大,就不能仅靠自己完成所
有的事情。
正确答案:C
解析:C)一B)一A)。解答本题的关键在于理解if引导的条件状语从句,而且要注意本句中介词短语on your own的翻译。if you want to remain competitive and strong in modern society可译为“如果你想在现代社会中保持竞争力、保持强大”;on your own是固定短语,表示“独立地”。
63. His failure to observe the safety regulations resulted in an accident to the machinery.
A.因为他未能遵守安全规则,导致机器出了故障。
B.他在遵守机器安全操作规则上失败了,结果出了事故。 C.他没有看清楚安全守则,结果机器出了毛病。
正确答案:A 解析:A)一B)一C)。解答本题的关键在于对几个关键词的正确理解和翻译。failure to…意为“未能……”,一般不翻译成“失败”;observe此处不是“观察,看”的意思,而是表示“遵守”;resulted in表示“导致,引起”。本句的翻译要注意不要拘泥于原句中词语的词性,要适当改变词性,使译文更符合汉语的表达习惯。翻译时还要注意句中含有的逻辑上的因果关系,并准确地体现出来。
64. A man cannot be really happy if what he enjoys doing is ignored by society as of no importance.
A.如果一个人喜欢做事情但被社会所忽视的话,他不可能真正幸福。 B.如果一个人喜欢做的事被视为不重要而被社会所忽视,他就不可能真正感到快乐。
C.一个人不可能幸福,如果他喜欢做那些被社会所忽视的事情的话。
正确答案:B
解析:B)一A)一C)。解答本题的关键在于对句子结构的把握。if what he enjoys doing is ignored by society as of no importance是条件状语从句。在这个状语从句中,what he enjoys doing(一个人喜欢做的事情)是主语;is ignored是谓语:by society表示动作的执行者;as of no importance意为“被视为不重要的事情”。
65. The British like moving. They regard the opportunity to travel far and frequently as a right. Some people spend up to two or three hours each day getting to work in London or some other city and back to their suburban or country homes in the evening. Most people do not spend time quite so long each day traveling, but it is taken for granted that few people live near enough to their work or secondary school to get there on foot. As elsewhere in Europe, there are serious problems of traffic congestion(拥挤) and pollution.
正确答案:英国人喜欢动。他们把有机会经常长途旅行视为一项权利。有些
英国人每天会花费多达两三个小时的时间去伦敦或者其他城市工作,晚上再返回他们在郊区或者农村的家。大部分人每天在路上花费的时间并不是很长,但是对于大部分人居住的地方离上班或者上中学的地方很远,无法步行前往,他们认为是理所当然的。英国与欧洲其他地方一样,交通拥挤和污染问题非常严重。
解析:这是一段说明文字,主要介绍英国人对上下班交通的看法。翻译时注意以下单词和短语:regard…as“把……看作/视为”,up to“多达”,spend time doing sth.“花费时间做某事”,suburban“郊区的”,take it for granted“认为……理所当然”,secondary school“中学”,on foot“步行”。
