It consists of 2 sections.Section ADirections:

31、In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.问题:1. She wanted to go swimming, _.A.so her brother didB.so did her brotherC.too her brotherD.did her brother too答案:B解析

32、本题考查倒装结构。题干意为“她想去游泳”，结合选项可知，空格处要表达“她弟弟”和“她”一样“也想去游泳”，应用倒装结构“so+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语”。根据题干中的动词wanted可确定so后接助动词did，故B为答案。在此结构中，要注意倒装部分的谓语要与前半句谓语时态一致。另外，表示否定情况时应用“neither+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语”的结构。问题:2. It was very kind _ to help me when I was in need.A.from youB.for youC.of youD.that you答案:C解析 本题考查不定式。在本句中，It是

33、形式主语，真正的主语是不定式结构to help me。当不定式结构作主语时，如果作表语的形容词既表示不定式的行为的性质，又修饰行为者，不定式的逻辑主语就由of引出。因此，答案为C。问题:3. All things _, the planned meeting will have to be put off.A.consideredB.are consideredC.have been consideredD.to consider答案:A解析 本题考查独立主格结构。逗号后句子结构完整，而逗号不能连接两个完整的句子，因此逗号前就只能是主句的某一成分，且不能带有真正的谓语。此外，句中的All th

34、ings与主句的主语the planned meeting不一致，因此逗号前应为独立主格结构，其形式为“名词/代词+非谓语动词”。由于All things与consider之间是被动关系，所以答案选A。问题:4. She is the only one of those girls who _ willing to do that voluntary job.A.areB.wereC.wasD.is答案:D解析 本题考查主谓一致。在one of+复数名词+定语从句”结构中，当one of前面有the only修饰时，定语从句中的谓语动词应用单数形式，因为主句使用的是一般现在时，所以who后面的

35、谓语动词应为一般现在式，故答案为D。问题:5. _ you are leaving tomorrow, we can have dinner together tonight.A.ForB.SinceC.BeforeD.While答案:B解析 本题考查原因状语从句。根据句意，空格处应填一个引导原因状语从句的引导词，since引导原因状语从句时，表示对话双方都知道的原因，符合语境，故答案为B。问题:6. Give me the salt, _?A.do youB.dont youC.wont youD.mustnt you答案:C解析 本题考查祈使句的反义疑问句。由动词原形引导的肯定祈使句，其反

36、义疑问句一般用will you；为使语气更婉转、客气，还可以用wont you或would you等，故答案为C。问题:7. The fruit _ nice, but _ terrible.A.looks, tastesB.is looked, tastesC.looks, is tastedD.is looked, is tasted答案:A解析 本题考查系动词。两个空格后分别为形容词nice和terrible，故空格处应填系动词，与形容词构成系表结构。因The fruit为单数形式，故答案为A。问题:8. Early to bed and early to rise _ a man he

37、althy and happy.A.makeB.has madeC.makesD.will make答案:C解析 本题考查主谓一致。在本题中，由and连接的两部分作句子的主语，Early to bed和early to rise应被看成一件事情，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。题干是一句格言，表达的是事实，故应用一般现在时，所以答案为C。问题:9. Susan _ in doing the experiment again though she had failed many times.A.resistedB.insistedC.assistedD.persisted答案:D解析 本题考查形近

38、词辨析。由题干后半部分的让步状语从句可推知，前半句应表达“坚持做某事”的意思，且所填动词应能与in doing搭配。故答案为D。问题:10. He went on foot, but he _ by bus.A.should goB.ought have goneC.could have goneD.could be gone答案:C解析 本题考查虚拟语气。could/should/ought to/might have done表示过去本来可以做某事而没有做，只有C符合语境，故为答案。Section BDirections: There are 5 incomplete statements

39、 here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets.问题:1. It is (embarrass) _ to be found stealing something.答案:embarrassing解析 本题考查词形转换。在本题中，It是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式结构to be found stealing something。is是系动词，后面应该跟形容词作表语。embarrass为动词，其形容词形式有embarrassing和embarrassed两种，因主语为事件，

40、故此处应该填入embarrassing“令人尴尬的，使人难堪的”。问题:2. Helen isnt here because I forgot (telephone) _ her.答案:to telephone解析 本题考查不定式。forget后接不定式作宾语，表示“忘记要去做某事”；其后也可跟动名词，表示“忘记已经做过某事”。由主句可知，“我”忘记要给海伦打电话，故空格处应填to telephone。问题:3. Earthquakes often cause great (destroy) _ of life and property.答案:destruction解析 本题考查词形转换。分析

41、句子结构可知，空格处作动词cause的宾语，因此应填入名词。destroy是动词，其名词形式是destruction。问题:4. By the end of last month, our factory (produce) _ 3000 motors.答案:had produced解析 本题考查过去完成时。由句首的时间状语可知，句子应用过去完成时，表示到过去某个时间为止已经发生或完成的动作，故空格处应填had produced。问题:5. The teacher warned that anyone who was caught (cheat) _ during the test would

42、 be punished.答案:cheating解析 本题考查现在分词。在that引导的宾语从句中，又含有一个who引导的定语从句，在此定语从句中，who为主语，谓语动词为was caught，其后应接现在分词补充说明主语who，因此，空格处应填cheating。Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your reading ability.

Avoid the rush-hour must be the slogan of large cities all over the world

55、. Wherever you look, its people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, its so full that it cant take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in prefere

56、nce to anything else. Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them.

Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The f
