A) for B) in C) with D) at 【考点】本题考查动词与介词的搭配。【句意】考虑一下我们的建议，再告知我你是否同意。【解析】C)。动词agree可构成agree with sb.（与某人意见一致），agree on/about sth.（赞同某事）和agree to sth.（同意某事）。根据句意及搭配形式，C为正确答案。17. Could you please _ why you cant come to attend the meeting? A) explain B) understand C) give D) reach【考点】本题考查动词的意义。【句意】能否解释一下为何你不能参加会议吗？【解析】A)。各选项的意思为别为：选项A（解释）、选项B（理解）、选项C（给）、选项D（抵达）。根据语义，选项A符合逻辑，故为正确选项。18.It is a factmost deaths from lung cancer are caused by smoking.A) thatB) howC) what D) which【考点】本题考查同位语从句用法。【句意】事实上，大多数肺癌患者都死于吸烟。【解析】A)。划分句子成分得知，抽象名词fact后是一个从句。因该从句意义完整，并解释说明fact（事实）具体是什么，可判断其为fact的同位语，是一个同位语从句。同位语从句可以由that，whether，连接代词或连接副词引导。该从句句意完整，因此，应选择只起连接作用而无实意的引导词that。选项A为正确答案。19.The managers replythat he was not really interested in the project.A) offeredB) showedC) advised D) described【考点】本题考查动词的用法。【句意】经理的答复表明他对这一项目并不感兴趣。【解析】B)。结合句意和四个备选项的意思可以判断选项B（表明）是正确答案。A项offer意为“提供，给予”，C项advice意为“建议”，D项意为“描述，描写”因此，B为正确选项。20.She didnt tell the reason she was absent from the important lecture.A) whatB) which C) how D) why【考点】本题考查定语从句的引导词。【句意】她没有解释为何缺席这个重要的演讲。【解析】D)。在reason作先行词的定语从句中，若从句表原因，一般用why引导。根据题意，选项D正确。21. It was once a difficult time, but in the end everything _ all right. A) turned out B) put up C) carried away D) gave in 【考点】本题考查动词短语的意义。【句意】曾经非常困难，但是最终所有事情的结果不错。【解析】A)。turn out后与副词或形容词连用，表示“结果是”。其他选项均不能与all right这个副词短语搭配。22. You can fly to London this evening _ you dont mind changing the flight in Paris. A) until B) if C) where D) before 【考点】本题考查条件状语从句的用法。【句意】如果你不介意在巴黎转机的话，今晚就可以飞伦敦。【解析】B)。mind doing sth. 意为“介意做某事”，根据句意判断本句为一个条件状语从句，因此选项B为正确答案。23. Food, clothing and shelter are the _ needs for all of us. A) careful B) attractive C) strange D) basic 【考点】本题考查形容词的意义。【句意】食物、衣服和遮蔽之所是我们所有人的基本需求。【解析】D)。题意要求从四个形容词中选择可以和needs（需求）搭配使用的单词。结合语义需要表达“基本需求”之意，故选D。24. I feel it is my responsibility _ you of our decision. A) inform B) to inform C) informing D) informed 【考点】本题考查不定式的用法。【句意】我觉得有义务告知你我们的决定。【解析】B)。划分句子成分，发现it is.到句末是一个宾语从句。it 是宾语从句中的形式主语，真正的主语是空格部分，这里需要一个不定式做宾语从句中真正的主语，考察it is ones responsibility (for sb.) to do sth.的句型，故选B。25. 【The staff members were asked to arrive a few minutes earlier before the meeting _ . A) will start B) starts C) started D) would start考点】本题考查状语从句中的时态。【句意】职员被要求在会议开始前几分钟抵达。【解析】C)。本句包含一个时间状语从句，主句为一般过去时的被动语态，因此从句需要使用一般过去时，因此选C。Section B 26. They are now looking for a new way of (treat) the rare disease. 【解析】treating。本题考查动名词的用法。空格前面是介词of，介词后要接名词或动名词。treat的常见名词形式是treatment（治疗）和treat（请客，款待），而这两个名词均不符合题意，因此用动名词treating。【用法拓展】动名词的一般形式是动词加ing，相当于一个名词的功能。因此，动名词跟名词一样，可以做主语，宾语，表语，同位语。如：Fishing is my favorite sport.（动名词作主语）I like swimming.（动名词作宾语）She is tired of washing dishes. （动名词短语作介词宾语）27. I was (deep) moved by what my boss had done for me【解析】deeply。本题考查副词用法。根据空格前的was和空格后的moved by判断本句是被动语态，was moved构成谓语，而括号中给出的形容词必须变为副词来修饰谓语，因此填入deeply。28. If you want to achieve your goal, you have to work (hard) than ever before.【解析】 harder。本题考查副词的用法。根据句意，应填入形容词的比较级形式。句子中的than引出比较的对象。【用法拓展】形容词和副词比较级、最高级的构成：规则的单音节和大多数双音节形容词、副词可通过添加-er，-est获得比较级和最高级。少数双音节和多音节形容词和副词在单词前添加more，most来构成比较级和最高级。29. Our company has bought two pieces of (equip) for the lab【解析】equipment。本题考查名词的用法。根据句子结构判断，空格处需填写一个名词，括号中给出的动词equip变换为其名词形式，即equipment。equipment为不可数名词，因此不能用复数形式。【用法拓展】在动词后加-ment是将动词转变为名词的一种重要方式，表示该名词是动词的结果或具体工具。如：achieveachievement，amuseamusement，judgejudg(e)ment。30. Up till now, he (work) on software design for 10 years【解析】has worked。本次考查现在完成时的用法。时间状语为up till now（到目前为止），由此判断句子的时态应为现在完成时。【用法拓展】常与现在完成时搭配的时间状语有：already，just，yet，so far，for+一段时间，since+时间点，等等。 31. Theyre looking for an (experience) manager to further improve the overseas business.【解析】experienced。本题考查形容词的用法。该题空格后是一个名词manager，空格前为一个量词an，据此可判断空格需填入一个形容词修饰manager。过去分词experienced可作形容词，表示“有经验的”。32.The tour guide marked some places of interest on the map for us (visit) . 【解析】to test。本题考查不定式用法。该句主谓宾成分齐全，空格处应填入一个非谓语。填入动词的不定式，作宾语的补足语表目的。【用法拓展】在句子主谓宾结构完整的情况下，如果所提示的词语为动词，则通常需要改为动词的非谓语形式：不定式，动名词或分词。动词不定式作为非谓语的一种，可做主语，表语，宾语，状语，定语，等等。33. I wonder whether there is any (different) _ between these two projects【解析】 difference。本题考查名词的用法。阅读本题发现宾语从句whether there is.中缺少表语，并且被非限定量词a修饰，因此应填入其名词形式，故将形容词different转化为名词形式difference。【用法拓展】部分以-t结尾的形容词可通过将-t改为-ce获得该形容词的名词形式，如：violentviolence，patientpatience。34. They didnt follow the new rules (make) by the company【解析】made。本题考查过去分词作定语的用法。由空格前的the new rules并结合空格后的by结构判断空格处需填入起修饰作用的过去分词，表示被动和已完成的意思。made by the company是一个过去分词短语作rules的后置定语。【用法拓展】英语中的分词形式可以做定语，其中-ing形式的现在分词作定语，通常表示与被修饰语为主动关系，而-ed形式的过去分词作定语，通常表示与被修饰语为被动关系或已完成的动作。如：flying kite（飞翔的风筝。被修饰语kite与fly为主动关系），forbidden city（紫禁城。被修饰语city与forbid为被动关系）。 35. A water power station (build) in the area several years ago【解析】was built。本题考查被动语态。审题后发现句子缺乏谓语，且build与主语water power station为被动关系，因此判断句子需使用被动语态，结合时间状语several days ago判断需填入一般过去时的被动语态，即was built。Part Reading ComprehensionTask 1So, you love the Internet.

Users are required to pay charges on items that are.A) dueB) renewedC)damaged D) borrowed【解析】C)。推理题。根据题干 pay charges on items(需要赔偿的情况)可定位在第二个小标题的第一小点items that are overdue, lost or damaged.（需要赔偿的情况是：超期未还，遗失或者损坏书籍。）对比四个选项，选项A（到期）有一定的迷惑性，需要考生仔细对比判断，文中出现的相关单词是overdue（超期），而不是选项中的due（到期）；选项B（续借）和选项D（借阅），在文中都没有提及需要付费均未在原文出现。据此判断选项C（损坏）为正确答案。43. If you have lost your library card, you .A) are still responsible for the items borrowed on that cardB) have only to pay the cost of the items borrowedC) cannot get a new card from the same librarydont need to pay the handling fees【解析】A)。推理题。根据题干 lost your library card(丢失图书卡)可定位在第二个小标题的第二点的第二句Items borrowed on the cards are still your responsibility.（仍为使用该卡借阅的书籍材料负有责任。）据此可以推断，选项A（仍为使用该卡借阅的书籍材料负有责任）为正确答案。选项C（无法在同一图书馆再次申请借阅卡）在文中没有提及；选项B（只需支付所借之物的费用）和选项D（无需支付手续费）与文中的相应内容相违背：成本开支（cost）和手续费（handling fee）共同构成了读者需要支付的费用。44. According to the passage, you can renew most of the items you borrowed.A) once onlyB) three timesC) twice at mostD) as often as you like【解析】C)。细节题。根据题干 renew most of the items(所借书籍材料最多可续借几次)可定位在第三个小标题的第一点can be renewed twice.（最多可以续借两次。）故选项C（最多两次）为正确答案。选项A（只有一次）、选项B（三次）和选项D（不限次数）均不符合原文。45.If you dont return the materials by the due date you will be .A) charged one dollar per dayB) requested to return the cardC ) informed by an email D) charged a fine【解析】D)。细节题。根据题干 dont return the materials by the due date(到期没有归还所借书籍材料)可定位在最后一个小标题的第二句fines are charged（需要支付罚款。）故选项D（收取罚款）为正确答案。选项B（被要求归还借阅卡）和选项C（收到电子邮件通知）在文中均未提及，首先予以排除。选项A（每天收取1美元）容易误选，但是文中第四部分“罚款”中清楚表明1美元罚款收取的对象是成人DVD，而其他的书籍材料的罚金并非1美元，因此该选项以部分代替全部，是错误的。Task 3The late-night bus is back!
