It was _ to watch bread being made.A.fascinateB.to fascinateC.fascinatingD.fascinated答案:C本题考查词形的转换。考查的词根fascinate为动词，意为“使着迷，使神魂颠倒”；加-ing后缀变形容词，意为“迷人的，醉人的，着魔的”；加-ed后缀变形容词，意为“出神的”。该题意为：看做面包是很迷人的。问题:2. B

2、y the time I return, you _ this book.A.would finishB.should have finishedC.Would have finishedD.will be finished答案:B解析 本题考查的是将来完成时的用法。将来完成时常和by或by the time等结构连用，表示在将来某一时间以前已经完成或一直持续的动作。故选项B)为正确答案。问题:3. She cooked for a long time so as to make it _ enough to eat.A.mildB.slightC.lightD.tender答案:D解析 本题

3、是对词义和句意进行判断和推断。mild、slight、light和tender 4个词意思分别为：温和的；脆弱的，轻微的；轻的，柔和的；嫩的。再看句子可知，make it.enough to eat中的it指meat“肉”。关于肉的软硬程度要用tender一词。故D为正确答案。问题:4. The work seemed easy at first but it _ to be quite difficult.A.broke outB.turned outC.worked outD.set out答案:D解析 本题考查动词搭配。break out意为“爆发”，例如：Fighting had br

5、踏上最后的一段行程。)根据题意，B为正确答案。问题:5. The scientist Galileo claimed that the earth _ around the sun.A.movesB.movedC.is movingD.was moving答案:A解析 本题考查宾语从句的时态。因为“地球围绕太阳转”是一个客观真理，所以从句时态应该用一般现在时，而不需与主句的时态保持一致。故本题正确答案为选项A。避错指南 选项B用了一般过去时；C用了现在进行时；D用了过去进行时都不能用来表示客观真理，故均可排除。问题:6. My suggestion is that a doctor _ imm

6、ediately.A.is sent forB.be sent forC.will be sent forD.can be sent for答案:B解析 同样考查虚拟语气的用法。suggestion后面的从句应用“(should)+动词原形”的形式，这类名词还有：idea，order，proposal，advice，request等。问题:7. _ the same time, he is sure to do well.A.GivingB.To givenC.GivenD.Be given答案:C解析 过去分词作状语，表条件，等于“If he is given the same time”。

7、问题:8.

A good writing _ clear organization and choices of words.A.calls onB.calls forC

8、.calls upD.calls off答案:B解析 本题考查由call构成的固定搭配。根据题意，好文章需要清晰的结构等，所以选项B(要求，提倡)为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(号召，呼吁)、C(打电话给，使想起)和D(放弃)这三项都不能表示“要求”，不符合句意，故排除。 问题:10. According to the survey, the December _ of the magazine is the most popular among the readers.A.copyC.printB.issueD.number答案:BSection B问题:1. It seems that y

9、our behavior in the school is (disappoint) _ to your parents.答案:disappointing问题:2. Toms (understand) _ of the world is quite beyond his age.答案:understanding解析 of前面要用的是名词，所以将understand改成名词形式understanding。问题:3. It seems that the production of this company have _ (great) increased this month.答案:greatly

10、解析 此题考查的是词性转换。副词修饰动词，great的副词形式为greatly。问题:4. The(manage) _ of a company is a very important part of the working process to its development.答案:management解析 根据句子结构可以看出空格中需要个名词做主语，manage的名词形式为management，意为“管理，经营”。问题:5.

11、行车借给你，因为现在正在修理。本题是对动词时态的测试，be being done表示进行时的被动语态。问题:6. You can speak (free) _ in front of our boss; he is open-minded.答案:freely问题:7. A retail giant will open its first (shop)_ center in south Chinas Hainan Province, taking its first step towards exploring the islands market.答案:shopping解析 本题考查的是词性转

12、换。根据序数词first可以推断出留空处和center共同构成一个名词词组。一般而言，形容词可作名词的前置定语。故shopping为正确答案。触类旁通 与shopping center结构相似的名词词组还有swimming pool(游泳池)，dining hall(食堂)等。问题:8. A good teacher knows how to give you (confident) _.答案:confidence一名好老师知道如何给你自信。本题测试的是词性的变化，题中要求的是名词。问题:9. We should learn to avoid (make) _ the same mistake

13、 again.答案:making我们应该学着避免再犯同样的错误avoid后跟动词的动名词形式。问题:10. He rushed(danger)_across the street to catch the bus.答案:dangerously本题是副词修饰动词。Part Reading Comprehension Romes fire-fighting brigade remained until the fall of the empire in the 4th century.

22、 he doesnt feel really poor when he had a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today

23、. There are three main reasons why the cars become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of

24、money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Longdistance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air

25、-service provided by planes. 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 really 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

26、 exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans.

With a car people can go _easily.A.anywhereB.to anyplaceC.to anywhereD.any place答案:A第三段末尾“With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money”anyplace连在一起等于anywhere，都是副词，可以直接与动词连用，但不能与介

43、格看上去较高的产品。B.虽然我们的产品价格似乎高了一些，但顾客仍喜欢购买。C.消费者宁愿买我们的产品，不过它们的价格似乎高了一些。D.尽管我们的产品很高，人们虽不情愿但仍然购买。答案:B解析 虽然我们的产品价格似乎高了一些，但顾客仍喜欢购买。 此句包含一个让步状语从句，主句中的“prefer to.”意为“宁愿做，喜欢做”，“purchase”意为“购买”，而从句中的they则指代主句中的our products，即“我们的产品”。 问题:2.

45、个变化使现代医学成为一个更令人振奋的研究领域。答案:D解析 译好本句的关键首先在于了解短语as a result of的含义，该短语意为“由于”，表示的是因果关系，短语之前为果，之后为因。此处的原因是as a result of the two recent changes(由于最近发生的两个变化)，这一原因引发的结果是“modern medicine has become a more exciting field of study”(现代医学成为一个更令人振奋的研究领域)。结合上述分析可知，四个选项中选项D与原意最为贴近。选项A错解了短语as a result of的含义，导致因果关系倒置，因而不妥；选项C对于谓语部分的理解完全脱离原句层次，仅仅只是个别单词意思的随意组合，没有尊重原文，不及选项A；选项B集中了选项A和C的错误，属四选项中之最劣。问题:4.
