customers with its horns.the other just hurried away from it.amake bhelp caid dassist答案b考查动词的用法。can/could(not)help it“ (不)能防止或避免某事物” 。此处相当于can/could(not)prevent or avoid sth，又如：can i help it if people dont read the instructions？人们不看使用说明，我又有什么办法？2the two presidents agree with each other on the whole，but much remains _ at the following meeting.adiscussing bdiscussedcto discuss dto be discussed答案dremain 是连系动词，相当于be动词，该句的主语much与discuss存在着被动关系，且由后面的“at the following meeting”知道该动作是将要发生的，故选d。3i dropped into your house at about ten last night，but you werent in.i _ a long report for my boss in the office.aprepared bwas preparingchad prepared dhave been preparing答案b考查动词时态。上句的语境是关键：“at about ten last night”，即昨晚十点时说话人正在办公室为老板准备一份报告材料，所以用过去进行时。4at first he refused to admit he had stolen，but when he was shown the videotape(录像带)he _and admitted everything.abroke up bbroke awaycbroke down dbroke in答案c考查动词短语的辨析。break down 意为“(健康，精神)跨下来”；break up 意为“分散；拆散”；break away意为“脱离、摆脱”；break in 意为“中断、破门而入”。5this kind of shoes made by experienced shoemakers_comfortably.ais worn b. wears care worn dwear答案b考查动词的特殊用法。made by experienced shoemakers为定语修饰句子的主语kind of shoes，故谓语应该用单数；wear 在此作不及物动词，用主动形式表示被动的含义，通常用物作主语且与well，comfortably等副词连用。6you are going to have a rise this month，arent you?yes，only $100.well，_.athe more，the better beasier said than donecbetter than never dbetter than nothing答案da项意为“ 越多越好” ；b项意为“ 说起来容易做起来难” ；d项表示“ 有总比没有要强” ；由原句可知是把$100与nothing进行比较，因此c项不对。故答案为d。7the police have _ proof that it was he who set fire to the storehouse.aabsolute bsteady cactual ddiverse答案aabsolute proof指“ 确凿的证据” ，符合句意。steady“ 稳固的” ；actual“ 实际的” ；diverse“ 多种多样的” 。8i clean the dormitory every day，_my classmates bob just sweeps the floor now and then.asince bwhile cwhen das答案b考查连词的用法。while作为并列连词，意思是“然而；但是”，表示对比关系。9i want to buy a pen，but i happen to carry no money with me.could you lend me some?_. athats fine bnothing seriouscnever mind dno problem答案d考查情境对话。同意给予帮助的应答语有no problem./certainly./sure./all right./ok./with pleasure./good idea.等；不同意是应该委婉拒绝，如：im sorry.。10_most excited all chinese and even all asians in the athens 2004 olympics was_liu xiang won the gold medal of the mens 110 m hurdles.awhat；what bwhat；thatcwhich；what dthat；that答案b考查名词性从句的用法。what在主语从句中作主语，that在从句中不作成分。.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)achinese trains are divided
