B.suchoneC.onesuchan D.asuch答案A解析such作形容词,当它与数词或不定代词any,some,all,no等连用时,常置于这些词之后;但与不定冠词连用时,则置于不定冠词之前。故选A项。22.Therewasnothingtheycoulddo.(2017·盐城时杨中学高二检测)A.butwait B.exceptwaitingC.onlytowait D.unlesstheywaited答案A解析考查省略to的动词不定式。当but作介词表示“除了”的时候,but前面有动词do时,后面出现的动词用不带to的动词不定式,即“有do无to,无do加to”的原则,本句中but前出现了do,but后的to就要省略。故选A。23.—Theairoutsidesmellssosweet.Whynotgooutforawalkinthenewly­builtparkafterdinner?—(2017·扬州高二检测)A.Ican’tagreemore. B.Whatfor?C.Youareright. D.Sowhat?答案A解析句意为:——外面的空气闻起来很好。为什么不晚饭后去新建的公园散步呢?——好主意/我同意。根据语境选A项。24.,andyouwillfindhimveryoutgoing.A.HavingatalkwithTomB.GivenatalkwithTomC.OnetalkwithTomD.IfyouhaveatalkwithTom答案C解析句意为:和汤姆谈一谈,你会发现他是很外向的。此处是“名词短语+and+陈述句”,此处的名词短语相当于if引导的条件句。25.Itwasnotlongthefirefightersarrivedatthespotandgotthefireinthebuildingundercontrol.A.that B.afterC.since D.before答案D解析句意为:没过多久消防员就赶到了现场,控制住了建筑内的火势。Itwasnotlongbefore...没过多久就……,为固定句型。故选D项。26.NowadaysChinesehighschoolstudentsaheavierworkloadthanbeforewithincreasingstressesofcollegeapplication.(2017·徐州高二检测)A.takeup B.takeinC.takeon D.takeout答案C解析句意为:目前,随着大学申请压力日益增大我国高中生承受着越来越多的学习压力。takeon承受,承担,故选C项。27.Theactor’sabsurdbehaviorputanendtothelasttracesofhisfanshadforhim.A.affection B.motivationC.effect D.expectation答案A解析考查名词词义辨析。句意为:这位男演员荒谬的行为结束了粉丝对他的喜爱。affection喜欢,感染;motivation刺激,激励,动力;effect影响,作用;expectation预期,期望。故选A。28.MrsGreentreatsherstudentsasiftheyherchildren.A.are B.wereC.hadbeen D.wouldbe答案B解析如果asif后面的从句表示的事情是真实的,使用陈述语气即可;如果asif后面的从句叙述的是假设的事情,要使用虚拟语气。本句中那些学生并不是格林老师的孩子,所以这是一个假设的事情,需要使用虚拟语气。与现在事实相反时,要使用一般过去时。句意为:格林夫人对待学生就好像他们是她的孩子一样。故B正确。29.herfaults,she’sArnold’smother.Don’tbesorudetoher.A.Whatever B.AnythingthatC.Whichever D.Whenever答案A解析句意为:不管她有什么错,她是Arnold的母亲。不要对她那么粗暴。whatever引导让步状语从句,省略了be动词are。30.Samuel,thetallestboyinourclass,easilyreachthebooksonthetopshelf.A.must B.shouldC.can D.need答案C解析考查情态动词。句意为:我们班最高的男孩塞缪尔能(can)轻松地够到顶层架子上的书。此处表示能力,要用can。must必须;should应当,应该;need需要。31.Thebeginningofthestoryisexcellent,istheending,leavesusmuchtothink.A.as;which B.so;thatC.as;that D.such;which答案A解析句意为:这个故事的开头很好,结尾也是,这留给我们很多东西思考。第一空填as,引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中as作表语,也可以理解成as+be+主语,表示“……也是”;第二空用which引导非限制性定语从句,which在定语从句中作主语,所以选A。32.—MrWangisamanoffewwords,butquickinmind.—,youknow.(2017·盐城时杨中学高二检测)A.Asingleflowerdoesn’tmakeaspringB.AgreattalkerisagreatliarC.AlightheartliveslongD.Astilltonguemakesawisehead答案D解析句意为:——王先生寡言少语但思维敏捷。——你知道:寡言者智。Astilltonguemakesawisehead.为谚语,意为“寡言者智。”33.Rosecouldn’tconcentratewhatshewasdoingherfamilywerewatchingTV.A.to;when B.on;whileC.for;when D.in;while答案B解析句意为:当罗斯的家人在看电视的时候,她不能集中精力于正在做的事情。concentrateon集中注意力于,为固定搭配;while表示“当……的时候”与延续性动词连用,引导时间状语从句。34.Inthe1950sintheUSA,mostfamilieshadjustonephoneathome,andwirelessphonesyet.A.haven’tinventedB.haven’tbeeninventedC.hadn’tinventedD.hadn’tbeeninvented答案D解析句意为:在美国20世纪50年代的时候,大多数的家庭家里只有一部,并且无线还根本没有发明出来。根据句意可知用被动语态,排除A、C两项;事情发生在过去,与现在无关,排除B。故选D。35.Davidisthecurrentholderofthe5,000­meterraceworldrecord,butthereisnothathewillwinintheOlympicGames.(2017·扬州中学高二检测)A.guarantee B.denyingC.saying D.alternative答案A解析句意为:David现在是5000米世界纪录的保持者,但是这并不能保证(guarantee)他在奥运会上能够取得胜利。故选A。第二节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)请阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。WhenIwasaboutfiveyearsold,IusedtowatchabirdintheskiesofsouthernAlbertafromtheBlackfootBloodReserveinnorthernMontanawhereIwasborn.Ilovedthisbird;Iwould36himforhours.Hewould37effortlesslyinthatgiganticsky,orhewouldedownandlightonthe38andfloattherebeautifully.SometimeswhenIwatchedhim,hewouldnotmakeasoundandlikedtomove39intothegrasses.Wecalledhimmeksikatsi,whichintheBlackfootlanguage40“pink­colouredfeet”;meksikatsiandIbecameverygoodfriends.Thebirdhadaveryparticularsignificancetome41Idesperatelywantedtobeabletoflytoo.IfeltverymuchasifIwasthekindofpersonwhohadbeenbornintoaworldwhere42wasimpossible.AndmostofthethingsthatI43aboutwouldnotbepossibleformebutwouldbepossibleonlyforotherpeople.WhenIwastenyearsold,somethingunexpected44mylifesuddenly.Ifoundmyselfbeean45childinafamilyIwasnotborninto;Ifoundmyselfina46positionthatmanynativeAmericansfoundthemselvesin,livinginacitythattheydidnotunderstandatall,notinanotherculturebut47twocultures.AteacheroftheEnglishlanguagetoldmethatmeksikatsiwasnotcalledmeksikatsi,eventhoughthatiswhat48peoplehavecalledthatbirdforthousandsofyears.“Meksikatsi,”hesaid,“wasreally‘duck’”.Iwasvery49withEnglish.Icouldnotunderstandit.Firstofall,thebirddidnotlooklike“duck”,andwhenitmadea50,itdidnotsoundlike“duck”.Iwasevenmore51whenIfoundoutthatthemeaningoftheverb“toduck”camefromthebird.AsI52tounderstandEnglishbetter,Iunderstoodthatitmadeagreatdealof53,butIneverforgotthatmeksikatsimadeadifferentkindofmeaning.I54thatlanguagesarenotjustdifferentwordsforthesamethingsbuttotallydifferent55,totallydifferentwaysofexperiencingandlookingattheworld.语篇解读本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过meksikatsi一词认识到了不同的语言不仅仅是用不同的词语来描述同一个事物,还是用完全不同的观念和方法去感受和看待这个世界。36.A.keep B.watchC.follow D.search答案B解析根据上文的“Iusedtowatchabirdintheskies”可知,“我”会看(watch)上几个小时。37.A.jump B.diveC.circle D.wander答案C解析根据常识可知,鸟儿在空中盘旋(circle)。38.A.nest B.hillC.water

D.until答案B解析根据上下文可知,此处是解释这只鸟对“我”有特殊意义的原因:因为“我”也极度地想要飞翔。because表示“因为”,引导原因状语从句。42.Amunication B.imaginationC.belief D.flight答案D解析上文说“我”也极度地想要飞翔,故此处用fly的名词形式flight。43.A.dreamed B.worriedC.knew D.argued答案A解析“我”梦想(dream)的东西大多数都不可能实现。44.A.improved B.enrichedC.changed D.ruined答案C解析根据文章语境可知,此处是说一些意想不到的事情改变(change)了“我”的生活。45.A.educated B.adoptedC.outgoing

B.fewC.their D.my答案D解析根据本空前的“meksikatsiwasnotcalledmeksikatsi”可知,尽管“我”儿时所在地方的人们叫了数千年meksikatsi,但在英语中它叫“鸭子”。49.A.desperate B.boredC.unfortable D.disappointed答案D解析根据本空后一句“Icouldnotunderstandit.”可知,因为“我”不能理解,所以“我”对英语感到很失望(disappointed)。50.A.noise B.callC.decision D.choice答案B解析根据本空后的soundlike可知,当它发出叫声(call)时,听起来也不像鸭子的声音。51.A.ashamed
