27、e required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D).

28、akeB.Had we madeC.If we are to makeD.If we were making答案:B解析 本题考查的是与过去事实相反的虚拟条件省略结构的用法。表示与过去相反的假设，用的句式为“If+主语+had done，主语+would/should/could/might + have done”，如：If you had come earlier, you might have met him如果If省略，从句主谓需倒装，故选项B为正确答案。避错指南 A项、C项和D项都不能构成相应的虚拟语气，故均排除。除了本题考查的这类虚拟语气之外，还要注意以下两种虚拟语气的表达方式：与

29、现在事实相反时从句用“动词过左式/were”，主句用“would/should/ could/might+动词原形”；与将来事实相反时从句用“动词过去式/were + to do”，而主句须用“would/should/could/ might+动词原形”。如：If I saw him tomorrow, I should ask him about it.问题:2. Gesture helps speakers _ their meanings.A.classifyB.specifyC.qualifyD.charify答案:Bclassify：分类；归类；把分等级；specify：指定；详述

30、；载明，说明：He specified the terms of the agreement.他对协议的条款进行了说明。qualify：(1)使合格；使具有资格：Do you qualify for the vote?你有投票资格吗?I hope to qualify as a doctor.我希望取得医生资格。 (2)限定；修饰：Adverbs qualify verbs.副词修饰动词。D项没有。问题:3. It is a fact _.English is being accept as an international language.A.thatC.whichB.whatD.when

31、答案:A本题考点是从句。本句为that引导的同位语从句。本句大意：英语已被接受为一门国际性语言，这是个事实。问题:4. _ , I had to borrow money from my friends.A.Having got homeC.To get homeB.Getting homeD.To have got home答案:C本题考点是不定式。本句中由不定式一般时态作目的状语。本句大意：为了回家，我必须从朋友那里借点钱。问题:5. One reason why The Da Vinci Code is such a successful movie is that_A.it appea

32、ls differently to peopleB.different people are appealedC.it appeals to many different peopleD.people find it appealing to them very much答案:C考点分析 本题考查动词短语appeal to的用法；据对选项的分析，应是表达“吸引了不同的人”的意思，其表达方式可为it appeals to different people，或different people are appealed to，选项A)句意不符，B)没接to，D)应将them改成them selves

33、；注意点：动词短语的用法。问题:6. When I arrived home after a hard day at work, my wife _ .A.was sleepingB.had been sleepingC.sleptD.has been sleeping答案:A答案精解 句意：当我辛苦工作一天后回到家时。我的妻子正在睡觉。该题考查的是时态的用法。根据题意可以判断应该用过去进行时。问题:7. _ is known to the world, Mark Twain is a great American writer.A.ThatB.WhichC.ItD.As答案:D分析 本题测试

34、点为关系代词。Which和as均可引导非限定性定语从句修饰一个句子。但which不能用于句首，as可用于句首，且有“正如”之意，故本题D为正确答案。问题:8. Evidence came up _ specific sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6 months old.A.whatB.whichC.thatD.whose答案:C答案精解 句意：已有证据表明六个月大的婴儿就能分辨不同的声音。该题考查的是同位语从句的用法。that引导的句子是主语evidence的同位语。句中短语come up意为“出现”。问题:9. He spoke c

35、onfidently, _ impressed me most.A.so thatB.thatC.itD.which答案:D分析 考点为关系代间。在非限定性定语从句中只能用which或as引导定语从句，不能使用that。问题:10. _ from space, our earth, with water covering 70% of its surface, appears as a blue planet.A.SeeingB.To be seenC.SeenD.Having seen答案:C这里当主语与谓语动词see之间不是主动的关系时，我们就应用过去分词来表示被动。反之则用现在分词。例如

36、：The old man was fast asleep，holding a book in his hand，老人很快睡着了，手里还拿着一本书(现在分词作伴随状语)。Seen in this light，the matter is not as serious as people generally suppose.如从这方面看，这件事并不像人们普遍推测的那样严重(过去分词作条件状语)。see，feel等这类感官动词一般不用进行体即seeing，feeling来表示正在进行的动作。故没有see的现在分词形式作状语的情况。正确答案即为C项。Section B Directions: There

37、 are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. 问题:1. I have several (engage) _ for next week.答案:engagements本题考点是词性转换。此处应用名词作宾语，several修饰复数名词。本句大意：我下周有几个约会。问题

38、:2. Your advice that she (wait) _ till next week is reasonable.答案:(should) wait解析 当表语从句的主语和同位语从句的先行词是能够引起虚拟语气的抽象名词时，从句必须用虚拟语气。其形式为：从句的谓语动词用“(should)+动词原形”的形式，能够引起虚拟语气的抽象名词有一般名词，如idea，motion，plan等和与那些能引导虚拟语气的动词相对应的名词，如advice，demand， desire，order，proposal，requirement，suggestion，decision，recommendation

39、等。问题:3. (Influence) _ by Lei Fengs example, the students performed a lot of good deeds.答案:Influenced本题测试的是过去分词的用法。全句的意思是：“受到雷锋例子的影响，学生们做了许多好事。”动作influence与全句的主语the students成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用过去分词influenced充当句子的状语。perform good deeds意为“做好事”。问题:4. If I had hurried, I _ (catch) the train.答案:would have caught

40、问题:5. Xiao Li is the(tall) _ one of the two.答案: taller解析 本题考查比较级。这里是两者之间的比较, 应用比较级。问题:6. He had moral objections to (kill) _animals for food.答案: killing解析 本题考查介词后接动名词的用法。objection to sth./doing sth. 是固定搭配，意思是“反对、厌恶做某事”，此处的to 是介词，所以后面需要用kill的动名词形式killing。答题指南 动词object的用法是object to sb. /sth.(反对某人/某事)，

41、要注意的是这个词组中的to是介词。问题:7. (Hard) _ had I left when the quarrel restarted.答案:Hardly句意：一争吵我就离开了。Hardly是副词，hardlywhen是固定搭配，表示“一就”。问题:8. The students made a list of their (complain) _ about school rules.答案:complaints本题考点是词性转换。本句大意：学生们对学校的制度列举了一系列的怨言。问题:9. The ship along with all the goods (be) _ destroyed

42、last week.答案: was解析 本题考查的是主谓语在数晕上保持一致的用法。句子的主语是The ship而不是后面的介词词组along with all the goods，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式；另外时间状语为过去时间，故用was。答题指南 主谓一致的用法很多，有意义一致和语法一致。当句子主语是“名词+介词词组(如：with+名词；as well as+名词；along with/together with+名词；等)”时，谓语动词要与介词词组之前的中心名词一致。问题:10. There are poor children without homes, who sleep in t

43、he streets, and live in (miserably) _.答案:misery解析 根据句子结构，介词in后面应接名词作宾语，miserably的名词为misery，意为“悲惨，不幸，痛苦”。-ly为副词性后缀，类似的用法还有：dependent-dependently(依赖地)；worthlessworthlessly(无价值地)；vainvainly(无效果地)等。Part Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for yo

44、u to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not descri

46、be all the characters that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-even an animal, such as a bird-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which

47、he or she acts, speaks, thinks, and feels that make him different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very. complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looks like, you would have

48、a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, thoughtful, friendly, warm. And so on. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Gordon Allport, a U.S. scientist who studies the mind and par

49、ticular person, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in persons behavior. And many of us use this information as a standard for describing or typing a person, bookworms, fools, hard-working types-people are described with such term. 1.

50、e ability to recognize others by _.A.their handsB.their namesC.their voicesD.their faces答案:D解析 本题询问人们靠什么来识别他人。根据原文(36)处可知，小孩，甚至是鸟类都可以根据面孔认出对方，故选D。2. When you are trying to describe a nice face, _.A.you have to refer to a dictionaryB.you have to search your mind hard for proper wordsC.you have to say

51、 more than necessaryD.you have to compare it with a nice person答案:B解析 本题询问如果让你去描述一张“漂亮的脸”，你会怎么做。根据原文(37)处可知，若有人让你形容一张漂亮的面孔，你很可能会觉得很难做到，或者会花费很长时间去找恰当的词语。虽然并不一定要查字典，但你一定要绞尽脑汁，故选B。3. What is the main idea of the passage?A.It is difficult to tell someones personality.B.It is difficult to describe someon

52、es face.C.It is difficult to recognize fingerprints.D.It is difficult to know what someone else thinks about.答案:B解析 本题询问文章的主旨是什么。通读全文，我们可以知道对于人的性格、行为等有很多描述性的文字，唯独人的脸是很难形容的。而对于指纹，文章只是简单地提了一下，故选B。4. By using the terms bookworms, fools, hard-working types, the author _.A.wants to tell us people are wor

53、king hardB.pictures peoples fingerprintsC.takes for example some terms for peoples behaviorD.makes fun of others答案:C解析 本题询问作者为什么要提到“书虫型”、“傻瓜型”和“勤奋型”。根据原文(39)处可知，作者给出了三个用来形容人性格类型的词语，所以其是举出的例子。此外，本题可用排除法，A项告诉我们人们是很努力工作的，B项描绘人们的指纹，D项嘲弄取笑他们，都与文章的主旨不符，故选C。5. From the passage, we can infer that _.A.people

54、 are different in many waysB.people dont like each otherC.people cannot express themselves wellD.people cannot understand each other答案:A解析 本题询问从这篇文章我们可以推断出什么。既然我们可以通过脸、指纹等认出对方，这就说明我们在这些方面是不同的，故选A。 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.

The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects, Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.

56、y advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money. Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago, a brand of bread was offered to dieters (节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位，卡路里) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic (适合节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were t
