甘肃省武威第八中学2019_2020学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题含解析

1、甘肃省武威第八中学2019-2020学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题（含解析）满分150分,考试时间100分钟第一部分: 单项选择(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)1. _him not to do so, he wouldnt have made such a serious mistake.a. did i persuadeb. if i persuadec. if i should persuaded. had i persuaded【答案】d【解析】【详解】考查虚拟条件句的省略倒装。句意：如果我说服他不这样做，他就不会犯这么严重的错误了。由主句中的wouldnt have mad

2、e可知本句是对过去事实的假设，条件句中的谓语动词应用“had+过去分词”，又因在if引导的虚拟条件句中，当从句谓语动词含有had, should, were时，可将if省略，而将had, should, were置于句首，故答案为d。2. his doctor suggested that he a trip abroad.a. will takeb. would takec. taked. took【答案】c【解析】【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：他的医生建议他出国旅行。意为“建议”的suggest，后接宾语从句，从句用虚拟语气，从句谓语结构用(should) do形式，should可以省略。故

3、选c项。3. he insisted that he homework but he couldnt find his exercise book.a. finishb. had finishedc. be finishedd. finishes【答案】b【解析】【详解】考查动词时态。句意：他坚持说他已经完成了作业，但他找不到他的练习本。此处insist表示“坚持说”，后跟宾语从句不用虚拟语气，且“完成作业”发生在“坚持说”之前，即“过去的过去”，故应用过去完成时。故选b。4. he didnt make _ clear when and where the meeting would be

4、held.a. thisb. thatc. itd. these【答案】c【解析】【详解】考查代词。句意：他没有说明会议将在何时何地举行。make sth clear讲清楚，说明白。当动词不定式或句子做宾语并且后面有宾语不足语时，这时只能用it代替动词不定式或句子。句中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为when and where the meeting would be held。故选c。5. it was_ he said_ disappointed me.a. that；whatb. what；thatc. what；whatd. that；that【答案】b【解析】【详解】考查主语从句和强调

5、句。句意：正是他说的话，使我失望。_ he said是一个主语从句，引导词在从句中作宾语，表示“他说的话”，用what；把it was和第二个空去掉，这个句子句意完整，语义清晰，所以这里是一个强调句。强调句的基本结构是：it is / was + 被强调部分+ that + 句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分是人，可以用who代替that。故选b。6. he was busy writing a story, only _ once in a while to smoke a cigarette.a. to stopb. stoppingc. to have stoppedd. having s

6、topped【答案】b【解析】【详解】考查分词做状语。句意：他忙于写小说，只是偶尔停下来抽支烟。本题中的动词stop与句子的主语he构成主动的关系，故使用现在分词的形式。根据句意说明现在动词的动作和句子谓语动词的动作是同时发生的，故使用现在分词的一般式即可。故b正确。【点睛】当分词做状语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做状语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前，就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系，可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。7. passengers are permitted _ only one p

7、iece of hand luggage onto the plane.a. to carryb. carryingc. to be carriedd. being carried【答案】a【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：乘客只被允许带一件手提行李上飞机。此处是短语：permit sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，被动语态是：sb. be permitted to do。故选a。8. i hurried to the meeting hall, only_ that the meeting had been put off.a. to tellb. to be toldc.

8、 tellingd. told【答案】b【解析】【详解】考查动词不定式的被动式。句意：我匆忙赶到会议厅，却被告知会议被推迟了。固定搭配only to do sth.，表示“结果却是”，表出乎意料/令人失望的结果，主语i和动词tell之间是被动关系，所以用动词不定式的被动式（to be done）。故选b项。9. james is afraid of _by sharks.a. attackingb. being attackedc. having attackedd. having been attacked【答案】b【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：james 害怕被鲨鱼攻击。表示“害怕

9、做某事”短语为be afraid of doing sth.，且attack与james构成被动关系，故应用being done形式。故选b。10. she tells us that lao wang is a person _ we can learn a lot.a. whomb. thatc. from whomd. about whom【答案】c【解析】【详解】考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。句意：她告诉我们，老王是一个我们可以向他学习很多东西的人。此句是定语从句，先行词是 a person，指人，把先行词代入从句中就是：we can learn a lot from the

10、person，learn from sb.（向某人学习），选择关系词时因为题干没有介词from，所以要加 from，先行词在from后面做宾语，应用关系代词whom，变成“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，结果就是 from whom。故选c项。第二部分: 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ascience camps for kidsdestination science young inventorscurious minds want to know and build. experi
