speaking english before, he _ able to speak it much better now.a.will beb.would bec.has beend.would have been【答案】b【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：“如果他以前花更多的时间练习说英语，那么现在他就能说得更好了。”这是一个错综时间虚拟条件句，条件句是对过去的假设用had spent，省略if，提前had，主句是对现在的假设(now)。用would do。故选b。【备注】无2although _ about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.a.teasedb.teasingc.teased.to tease【答案】a【解析】考查状语从句的省略。be teased about sth.表示“被拿某事取笑”，本句可以还原为although she is teased about fatness，she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.，此处由于主从句的主语一致，所以把从句的she is省略了。故选a。【备注】无3she _ high and tries hard to make her dream come true.a.achievesb.reachesc.missesd.aims【答案】d【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：她目标很高并努力使她的梦想成真。achieve获得；reach到达；够到；miss错过；aim目的。故选d。【备注】无4_ any change about the date，please tell me immediately.a.will there beb.should there bec.there will bed.there should be【答案】b【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果日期改变了，及时告诉我。条件状语从句使用虚拟语气，和将来相反用should do，可以省略if，should提前。故选b。【备注】无5where did you meet alice？it was in the cinema _ we used to go.a.whereb.thatc.whichd.how【答案】a【解析】考查定语从句。句意：你在哪里见到爱丽丝的？就是在我们常去的电影院。使用定语从句，修饰the cinema，定语从句中不缺主宾表，缺少的是地点状语，用where引导定语从句。看到这道题考生的第一个反应是强调句。如果选项是b，虽然语法上说是对的，但是问和答则风牛马不相及。其实完整的回答是it was in the cinema where we used to go that we met alice.故选a。【备注】无6-i _ myself more-it was a perfect day.-me, too. its years _ i enjoyed myself so much.a.couldnt have enjoyed; sinceb.neednt have enjoyed; sincec.wouldnt have enjoyed; befored.shouldnt have enjoyed; before【答案】a【解析】考查情态动词的完成式和连词。句意：我实在是太开心了，真是完美的一天。我也是，我已经很多年没有这么开心了。比较级与否定词连用表最高级，那么此处主要是看情态动词的选用了。couldnt have enjoyed不可能让自己更开心了（这是最开心的），比较级与否定词连用表最高级，neednt have done 本不必做而做了（不符合句意）；wouldnt have done本来不会做而做了（不符合句意）；shouldnt have done本来不应该做而做了（不符合句意）；第二空填since，使用it is+一段时间+since+一般过去时。故选a。【备注】无7the nurse treated the naughty boy very kindly, but her patience _ at last.a.used upb.gave outc.run outd.was run out【答案】b【解析】考查动词短语。句意：护士对这个淘气的男孩很好，但她的耐心最后耗尽了。这几个词组都可以表示“耗尽”，use up是及物动词短语，不符合句子要求；run out和give out都是不及物动词短语，但是表示“耐心耗尽”，用give out；而且没有被动形式。故选b。【备注】无8-do these paintings _ you?- no, not really. they dont _ to me at all.a.interest to you; make any senseb.appeal for you; attractc.appeal to; make sensed.interest; attract【答案】c【解析】考查动词短语。句意：这些画吸引你吗？不，不是这样。它们对我根本没有意义。第一空可以填appeal to“吸引”或者interest“使感兴趣”。排除ab；第二空填make sense有意义。attract是及物动词，后面没有to。故选c。【备注】无9do you expect _ to be a possibility that we shall be able to afford the special furniture that we need?a.thereb.thatc.oned.it【答案】a【解析】考查there be句型。句意：你认为我们有可能买得起我们需要的特别的家具吗？expect后面接sb to do，根据句意可知用there be句型。故选a。【备注】无10- what will you do during the summer holiday?-i dont know, but its high time _ something.a.im decidingb.ill decidec.i decided.i decided【答案】d【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：这个暑假你要做什么？我不知道，但是该是我做决定的时候了。its time (that) 后面的从句要用虚拟语气，表示“现在某人该做某事了”，time可由high，about修饰。这里的虚拟语气有两种表达方式：1.从句中的谓语动词用动词的过去式(be用were) ；2.从句中的谓语动词用should do，should不可以省略。故选d。【备注】无11_ bad-tempered at times, he is still respected by all the students.a.in spite ofb.even ifc.not untild.despite【答案】b【解析】考查连词。句意：即使有时候脾气坏，他还是受很多学生尊敬。even if即使，后面省略了he is；not until直到.才；放在句首，后面的主句要倒装；in spite of和despite都是“尽管，虽然”，后面接名词。故选b。【备注】无12what she is addicted _ her feel better temporarily and reduces the pain of separation.a.to makingb.makesc.to makesd.to make【答案】c【解析】考查短语和主谓一致。句意：她上瘾的东西使她暂时感觉好些并减少分离的痛苦。what引导主语从句，谓语是be addicted to对上瘾，what作主语从句的宾语，make是主句的谓语，因为主语是主语从句，谓语用单数，而且这句话使用一般现在时。故选c。【备注】无13-does the young man standing there _ the company?- no, the company is _ his father.a.in possession of; in the possession ofb.have possession of; in the possession ofc.take possession of; in possession ofd.have possession of; in possession of【答案】b【解析】考查短语。句意：站在那里的那个年轻人拥有这家公司吗？不，这家公司为他父亲所拥有。根据助动词does可知第一空使用动词短语have possession of拥有，第二空用in the possession of（某物）为某人所拥有，in possession of某人拥有某物。故选b。【备注】无14to tell you the truth, if it were not for the fact that you _ my daughter, i would not take such pains to serve you.a.wereb.have beenc.had beend.are【答案】d【解析】考查时态。句意：说实话，要不是因为你是我女儿这个事实，我不会不辞辛劳地服侍你。本题很容易错选c项，错误的认为这是一个与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，使用过去完成时的形式，实际上本题是一个同位语从句that you are my daughter，对名词the fact进行解释说明。名词the fact后面的句子是不要使用虚拟语气的，只需要使用陈述语气即可。故d正确。【备注】无15the judge permitted the couple _ the boy who became an orphan after the earthquake.a.adaptingb.to adaptc.adjustingd.to adopt【答案】d【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：法官允许这对夫妇收养地震后成为孤儿的男孩。permit sb to do sth.允许某人做某事。故选d。【备注】无16-im afraid ill fail in the exam.- _. it wont be so bad.a.dont be afraidb.it doesnt matterc.take it easyd.youll not fail【答案】c【解析】考查交际用语。句意：我害怕考试不及格。放轻松。不会很糟糕的。dont be afraid别害怕；it doesnt matter没关系；take it easy放轻松；youll not fail你不会失败的（这是汉语的表达）。故选c。【备注】无17the great success of this project has been largely _ the support given by the 30 local businesspersons.a.instead ofb.thanks toc.due tod.as a consequence【答案】c【解析】考查介词短语。句意：这个项目取得的巨大成功很大程度上是因为30个当地商人的支持。instead of代替；thanks to由于，因为（用作状语）；due to由于，因为（用作表语）；as a consequence因此。故选c。【备注】无18_is our strong suggestion that he _ a holiday, but _ doesnt help.a.as; takes; whichb.as; should take; itc.it; takes; whichd.it; take; it【答案】d【解析】考查代词和虚拟语气。句意：我们强烈建议他度假，但是没有用。第一空填it，作形式主语，that引导的是真正的主语从句，因为前面的动词是suggestion，主语从句中用虚拟语气，谓语用should do，should可以省略，第三空填it，指代上文内容。故选d。【备注】无19the fact that so many people still smoke in public places_ that we may need a nationwide campaign _ awareness of the risks of smoking.a.suggest; raiseb.suggests: raisingc.suggest; raisedd.suggests; to raise【答案】d【解析】考查主谓一致和非谓语动词。句意：很多人仍然在公众场所抽烟的事实说明我们需要一次全国的运动来提高人民对于抽烟的危险的意识。本句的主语是the fact。同位语从句that so many people still smoke in public places解释the fact的内容。故谓语动词与the fact保持一致，使用单数形式；第二空用不定式作目的状语。故d正确。【备注】无20the novel is so badly written that i can hardly _what the writer is trying to say.a.turn outb.make outc.let outd.try out【答案】b【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意：这部小说写得太差以致于我很难弄明白这个作者想说什么。turn out结果是；make out辨认，理解；let out发出，泄露；try out尝试。故选b。【备注】无评卷人得分二、完形填空：共20题 每题1分 共20分evelyn glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in scotland.

is it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? what gift is worth the most?this christmas i was debating what to give my father. my dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. i pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for christmas shopping for him when i came across a message on my phone that i had locked. the message was from my father. my eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in wyoming, and underneath a poem by william blake. the flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. my dad had been reciting those words to me since i was a kid. that may even be the reason why i love writing. i decided that those words would be my gift to my father.i called back. i told my mom to go without me and that i already created my gift. i sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. as i was arranging the details another poem came to mind. the poem was written by edgar allan poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. i typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. the poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching i found the perfect picture. the image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. as i watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, i felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. christmas soon arrived. the minute i saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, i knew i had given the perfect gift.41the authors inspiration for the gift came from_.a.a photo of a flowerb.a story about a kidc.a call from the motherd.a text about christmas42the author made the gift by _.a.searching for the poems onlineb.drawing the background by

students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poem-more so than for most pieces of prose (散文). this isnt always easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, i feel, necessary.as with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged. they might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warm-up discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poets, or to identify stressed words and syllables.you might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussion s about poems. this can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.im a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. if your school has the facilities, you might like to:divide your students into two, or even three groupsgive each group a different cassette or cd and tasks to work onthen they come back together to share what they have learned.remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.finally, dont forget to encourage art for arts sake. listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. many good song lyrics (歌词) could be termed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.44which of the following is true according to the passage?a.an english student will have difficulty understanding li bais poems.b.an english student will have some difficulty understanding walt whitman.c.a chinese student will have some difficulty understanding du fus works.d.an american student will have some difficulty understanding william shakespeare.45what kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity？a. theyd better predict what the poem is about.b. theyd better have a warm-up discussion.c. they will share their own works with their classmatesd. they should know the stressed words.e. they should make clear the stressed syllables.f. they should first go to an actor.a.abcfb.abdec.cdefd.bcdf46who do you think is this passage written for?a.the students.b.the poets.c.the teachers.d.the readers.47whats the main idea of the passage?a.how to use poems to develop the students skills.b.listening to poem is more difficult than reading prose.c.the schools should encourage the students to study poems.d.preparations should be done before teaching.【答案】44a45b46c47a【解析】44细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子it is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poem-more so than for most pieces of prose (散文). this isnt always easy in a second language,可知一个英国的学生可能理解李白的诗有困难。故选a。45细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子as with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged.

syllables.可知在听力活动中，学生需要准备：预测诗歌是关于什么的；有个热身的讨论；知道重读的单词；明白重读的音节。故选b。46写作意图题。根据文章第三段的句子you might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussion s about
