名词/代词”接定语从句时，先行词是前面的名词或代词，而不是one，因此可以排除a和c；再根据live用作及物动词时一般要接同源宾语(a happy/sad/poor，etc.) life，因此选b。其中on the go相当于形容词短语作定语。 3there are a lot_people today than yesterday.aof bmorecmost d/答案b解析本题易误选a。因为许多学生很快会联想到a lot of短语。其实，只需要仔细看完句子就会发现句子的后面有than，暗示要选比较等级，而比较级前面用a lot来加强语气。 4the tv set he_works well now.ahas repairing bhaving repairedchas been repaired dhas had repaired答案d解析本题考查学生综合能力。首先要知道he_是定语从句，对先行词the tv set进行修饰。由于the tv set在定语从句中作宾语，所以可以省略关系代词that或which。而定语从句中有have sth. done结构，即完整的句子为：the tv set that/ which he has had repaired works well now.主句为the tv set works well now.。5lei feng is always ready to help others when they are in trouble and he never_their request.aturns up bturns overcturns in dturns down答案d解析考查动词短语的辨析。turn up将音量调高；出现，露面；turn

come答案c解析考查动词时态的用法。选项a表示过去所发生的事情；b项表示经常性或习惯性的动作；c项表示目前的情况和影响；d项时态不符合对话的时间和语境。 8after living in pairs for fifty years he returned to the small town _ he grew up as a child.awhich bwherecthat dwhen答案b解析本题考查限制性定语从句中关系词的选择。定语从句的先行词是表示地点的名词短语the small town，且关系词不作定语从句中的主语和宾语而作地点状语，因此定语从句必须用关系副词where引导。要注意分清先行词在从句中充当的成分，然后选择适当的关系词。9the manager decided to give the job to_he believed had a strong sense of duty.awhoever bwhomevercwho dthose答案a解析whoever作宾语从句的主语；he believed可看作插入语。 10tod hadnt passed the exam and was afraid of being scolded._.aso it was with jimbso was jim，his classmatecit is the

homeless，_it perhaps the most destroying tsunami in history.ato kill；makingbto have killed；makingchaving killed；to makedkilling；made答案b解析考查句型结构及非谓语动词。根据believe句型“believe sb./sth. to be/to have done”可知，第一空填to have killed；第二空的非谓语动词表示结果，动词的ing形式表示事情发展的自然结果，而不定式表示出乎意料的结果。 12is it true_the rain stops，it will be as hot as in the summer here?awhen bthat whencwhenever dthat答案b解析考查学生分析句子结构的能力。it is true that构成一个主语从句，而主语从句内部又有一个以when引导的时间状语从句。 13mike，as far as i know，_like to play music.aseems bappearscfeels ddoes答案d解析as far as i know为插入语，去掉插入语后，再结合like后面的不定式可以知道like为动词而不是介词，故排除a、b、c三项。d项“does动词原形”表示强调，意思为“的确，确实”。 14the time he has devoted in the past years_the disabled is now considered_of great value.ato help；being bto helping；to becto help；to be dhelping；being答案b解析前一部分考查devote ones time to doing sth.句式。后一部分中的consider的后面接了主语补足语，所以用不定式作补语。句意为：他在过去的十年中用在帮助残疾人身上的时间现在被认为是很有价值的。 15as i looked at the memorial，i thought about _ terrible disaster it was for the people in nanjing then and _ they were to fight the japanese invaders.ahow；how bwhat a；howcwhat；what dhow；what答案b解析句意为：当我看这座纪念碑的时候，我想，南京人民的那场灾难是多么的严重，他们又是怎么反抗日本侵略者的啊。第一空所在句是一个感叹句，若用how则变为：how terrible the disaster was；第二空根据句子结构和句意可知用how。.阅读理解a one of the greatest gifts one generation can give to
