26、th a single line through the centre问题:1. Hadnt the bus broken down, we _ the train.A.catchB.had caughtC.could catchD.should have caught答案:D解析 “Hadnt the bus broken down.” =“If the bus hadnt broken down.”此句为省略if的非真实条件句。从句中所陈述的与过去发生的事情相反，那么主句就得相应地用should have caught。例如：Had they worked harder，they coul

28、户。)故选B。问题:3. Never _ ! Josh met such a complicated situation.A.didB.couldC.willD.had答案:D解析 否定词放在句首，助动词或be动词要放在主语的前面，构成倒装语序。例如：Never did I ask a stranger about the weather.(我还从未见过向陌生人询问过天气情况。)故选D。问题:4. I dont think Jasons serious about going to Africa, _ ?A.dont heB.dont IC.will youD.is he答案:D解析 复合句的

29、附加疑问句以表达主要思想的句子为准。此句主要表达关于去非洲的事Jason是否当真。所以附加疑问句应以“Jasons serious.”为准。而不能针对I或you提问，且前面已有“I dont think”起否定作用，故选D。问题:5. Will all the members e-mail addresses _ in the directory?A.listB.listedC.be listedD.being listed答案:C解析 此句应用的是被动语态的将来时，其构成是“will be+动词过去分词”的形式。例如：All of the materials will be handed i

30、n before tomorrow afternoon(所有的材料都会在明天上午之前交上来。)故选C。问题:6. _ he will go to Germany is not decided.A.WhoB.ifC.ThatD.Whether答案:D解析 此题关键在于区分if 和whether。if 不可用来引导主语从句，主语从句中的“是否”要用whether来引导表达。此外两者还有一点区别，即引导宾语从句时whether可以直接接or not，而if不可以。例如：Ask whether or not he plans to come to the meeting。(问问他是否来参加会议。)故选

31、D。问题:7. I will tell you everything _ he said about it.A.whatB.whichC.thatD.on which答案:C解析 that和which都可以引导定语从句，二者都可指事物，一般可以通用。但是当先行词为all，everything， nothing 或anything 等不定代词的时候，要用关系代词that而不用which。故选C。问题:8. Please listen carefully while others _.A.speakB.speakingC.spokenD.spoke答案:B解析 在while 引导的状语从句中，动词

32、必须是延续性的，这里others后省略了are。例如：While trying to open the can，I cut my hand(当我试着打开罐头时，我把手割伤了。)故选B。问题:9. We go to the pizza parlor all the _.A.afternoonB.timeC.dayD.hours答案:B解析 all the time 表示“时常”。动词go 的一般现在时形式表示习惯性动作。此外，表示“时常”的词还有： often，frequently 等。故选B。问题:10. Many a way _ tried already.A.has beenB.areC.

33、beingD.have答案:A解析 many a(许多)作定语修饰单数可数名词，谓语动词用单数。例如：Many a student wants to visit the museum of Sydney(许多学生想去参观悉尼博物馆。)故选A。Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the

34、corresponding space on the Answer Sheet问题:1. I decide to leave the company next month where I(work)_ for exactly three years.答案:will have worked解析 将来完成时表示将来某一时间或另一个将来的动作之前已经完成的动作。构成形式为will/shall+ have done，第一人称用shall，其他人称用will(在美国和英国第一人称也常用will)。问题:2. Please remember(post) _ the letter on your way t

35、o school.答案:to post解析 动词remember 有两个词组，分别为“remember to do sth.”，意为“记得去做某事(未做)”；“remember doing sth.”，意为“记得做过某事(已做)”。根据句意，本题选择前一种。问题:3. After careful(consider) _, the company decided to open another chain shop in the city.答案:consideration解析 careful 是形容词，形容词修饰名词，因此本题需要填入名词。动词consider的名词形式为consideratio

36、n，意为“思考，考虑”。问题:4. (See) _ from the top of the tower at night, the city looks more beautiful.答案:seen解析 在本句中，the city 是主语，looks 是谓语，所以see 应该用非谓语动词中的分词形式，又因为the city和see 之间是被动关系，所以应为过去分词。问题:5. After working for five years in the countryside, he is now used to(do) _ physical labor.答案:doing解析 “be used to

37、 doing sth.”意为“习惯于做某事”，这里to为介词，后接名词或动名词。问题:6. The bus driver, as well as the passengers, (hurt) _ in the accident yesterday.答案:was hurt解析 当主语后面跟有由as well as，with，along with，together with，in addition to，except 等引导的词组时，其谓语动词形式依主语本身的单复数而定。本题的主语是bus driver，谓语动词应该用单数。另外，bus driver和hurt之间是被动关系，应使用被动语态，结构为

38、“be+动词过去分词”，时态为一般过去时。问题:7. He did not come to school because of his(ill) _.答案:illness解析 because of 后需要接名词性短语，而且his 是形容词性物主代词，其后应该加名词，所以应该把ill 变成名词形式illness，意为“疾病”。问题:8. The(poison) _ gases from the cars have polluted the air.答案:poisonous解析 根据句子结构，这里需要一个形容词作定语，poisonous 是poison的形容词形式，意为“有毒的”。问题:9. Gr

39、eat efforts are needed for the(develop) _ of the new company.答案:development解析 根据句子结构，介词for 后需要加上名词作宾语，develop 的名词形式为development，意为“发展”。问题:10. Last summer holiday is the(bad) _ I had ever had.答案:worst解析 在形容词最高级时，常用一个短语说明比较的范围。本句中“I had ever had”体现了这个范围，因此要选择最高级。注：bad 的比较级和最高级都是特殊变化，分别为worse 和worst。Pa

43、e most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason why cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really develops an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains

44、 have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air service provided by plane. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what re

45、ally made cars popular. Americans dont like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They dont like to have to follow an exact schedule.

49、。4. From the last paragraph we can see that _.A.Americans have to follow an exact scheduleB.Americans prefer the bus to wait for themC.Americans encourage public transportationD.Americans like to arrange their own time答案:D解析 本题询问从最后一段我们可以知道些什么。根据原文(39)处可知，美国人不喜欢精确的时间表，而汽车可以让他们充分自由地去安排自己的时间。因此可得出结论：美

The 5 questions or unfinished

51、 statements are numbered 41 through 45 Whether a large population is good or not has long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, even poorer land must be made use of and the good land is worked too much.

52、Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income that could only be dealt with by a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more good ideas for plans and the development of ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless

53、there are more people who want to use them. One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth change from country to country. In the developing country where a greatly growing population is pressing hard upon the

54、limits of food and space, the government will try to limit birthrate. In a highly industrialized society a decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market. So the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather th
