Q11: When can people think about our eyes very often?精析 该题为简答填空题。根据短文的第一句“it is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how

25、important our eyes are”(只有当我们视力下降的时候才会体会到眼睛的重要。)可以知道，只要换一种说法就是答案了，故此处应填“cant see well/perfectly”。2. What things can nearsighted people see clearly?

It consists of 2 sections.Section ADirections: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or

30、 words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.问题:1. She moved away from her parents, and missed them _ enjoy the exciting life in New York.A.too much toB.enough toC.very much toD.so much to答

31、案:A解析 句意：她从父母身边搬走来到纽约，然而却由于大想念他们而无法享受那儿的精彩生活。该题考查的是非谓语动词。“too+adv/+to do”表示否定的含义，意为“太以至于不”。“enoughto”结构则表示肯定含义，意为“足够能”。注意enough用于名词之前，而用于形容词或副词之后。问题:2. _ , the negotiation went further on.A.With the first point agreeing onB.With the first point agreed onC.With the first point to agree onD.With agree

32、ing on the first point答案:B解析 句意：大家就第一条款达成一致意见后，谈判继续进行了。该题考查的是非谓语动词中分词的独立主格结构。分词的独立主格结构的构成还包括：with/without+名词/代词+分词/形容词/副词/介词短语。本题中the first point与agree on是被动关系，所以要用过去分词。问题:3. I regret _ the novel to Jim because he made it very dirty.A.to lendB.having lentC.to be lendingD.lent答案:B解析 句意：我后悔把这本小说借给了吉姆，

33、因为他把书弄脏了。该题考查的是非谓语动词。 regret后面既可以接不定式，又可以跟动名词，前者指“对尚未做，或正在做的事情的遗憾”，后者指“对过去做过的事情的遗憾”。问题:4. The work they are doing is _ great value.A.inB.ofC.byD.from答案:B解析 句意：他们正从事的工作意义重大。该题考查的是介词。be of great value有很大价值(帮助)。其余三选项不合适。问题:5. The doctor insisted that Paul s mother _ examined thoroughly.A.would beB.must

34、 beC.beD.should have been答案:C解析 句意：医生坚持要保罗的母亲做全面检查。该题考查的是虚拟语气。insist指坚持观点时，不用虚拟语气，如：He insisted that he had done nothing wrong他坚持认为他没有做错。但是坚持要求某种做法时，则用虚拟语气。问题:6. Kevin is the only student in the class _ failed in the exam.A.whoB.thatC.whichD.whom答案:B解析 句意：凯文是班上惟一这次考试没及格的学生。该题考查的是定语从句。当定语从句的先行词前有the

35、only，the very，the last，the same等表示特定概念的修饰词时，定语从句的引导词只能用that。问题:7. The projects _ by the end of 2002 will expand the city s telephone network to cover 1,000, 000 users.A.being accomplishedB.to be accomplishedC.accomplishedD.having been accomplished答案:B解析 句意：于2002年底完成的这项工程将会使城市的电话网络覆盖到1，000，000名用户。该题考

36、查的是时态和语态。此句谓语动词为将来时，根据题意，所填词需作project的定语，所以我们选择不定式一般时作其定语，且表示将来；而accomplish与project之间又有动宾关系，故选择不定式的被动语态。问题:8. There is no doubt _ Herbert is the most industrious student in our class.A.whetherB.whatC.thatD.if答案:C解析 句意：赫伯特是我们班最勤奋的学生，这一点是不用怀疑的。该题考查同位语从句。名词doubt用在肯定句中，其后的同位语从句用whether引导，若用在否定句中则由出at引导。

37、问题:9. Up went the prices and _.A.the living standard came downB.down did the living standard come down standardC.came down the living standardD.down came the living standard答案:D解析 句意：随着物价的上涨，生活水平在下降。该题考查的是倒装。此句将副词up和down置于句首，句子全部倒装的句型。问题:10. The ratio of the work done by the machine _ the work done

38、on it is called the efficiency of the machine.A.againstB.withC.toD.for答案:C解析 句意：机器所做的工作与在机器上所用的功之比，就称为机器的效率。该题考查的是固定搭配。题中ratio与介词to是固定搭配，the ratio of A to B的意思为“A与B之比(率)”。Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word give

39、n in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.问题:1. It s about two hour s (fly) _ from Xi an to Beijing.答案:flight解析 句意：从西安到北京大约要飞两个小时。该题考查的是词性转换。根据题意，空中所填词应在two hours之后，所以需要一个名词，而fly的名词形式是night。问题:2. When I last saw Seama, he (hurry) _ to his next class an

40、d did not have time to talk.答案:was hurrying解析 句意：我上次看见谢默斯时，他正匆忙往隔壁教室走去，没有时间说话。该题考查的是时态。根据句意主句谓语动词用过去进行时。问题:3. (hold) _ the note in his hand, the fellow stood there dumb-founded.答案:Holding解析 句意：那个伙计拿着钞票，站在那里目瞪口呆。该题考查的是非谓语动词中现在分词短语做伴随状语。 问题:4. It is the feathers that (able) _ a bird to fly.答案:enable解析

41、 句意：正是因为有了翅膀，鸟儿才会飞。该题考查的是词性转换。分析：这是一个It isthat强调句型，强调的是主语the feathers，因此空格处应填写一个谓语动词，根据所给形容词able可填写其派生出的动词enable。问题:5. One third of this area (cover) _ with trees,50 percent of which are pines.答案:is covered解析 句意：这个地区的1/3被树木覆盖，其中的50%是松树。该题考查的是被动语态。作谓语用动词，从句意看用被动态。问题:6. The mother placed the blanket o

42、ver the boy ,leaving only his face (uncover) _.答案:uncovered解析 句意：那位母亲把毯子盖在男孩的身上，只把脸露了出来。该题考查的是被动语态。uncovered过去分词，从句意看这里有被动意义，用作形容词。问题:7. The workers felt angry that their manager was trying to escape his (responsible) _.答案:responsibility解析 句意；经理正在试图逃避责任，工人们对此感到很气愤。该题考查的是词性转换。根据题意，人称代词his后面一定要接名词，故为

43、responsibility。问题:8. The little girl could do nothing but (weep) _.答案:weep解析 句意：除了哭泣之外小女孩毫无办法。but后面紧接动词，一般不带to。问题:9. Radio was the pilot s only means of (communicate) _.答案:communication解析 句意：无线电是飞行员惟一的通讯工具。该题考查的是词性转换。原句中介词of应填写一个名词作介词宾语，所以根据所给动词communicate可派生出其名词为communication。问题:10. He got to know

44、that the earth (move) _ around the sun at the age of four.答案:moves解析 句意：他4岁就知道地球绕着太阳转。该题考查的是主谓一致性。“地球绕太阳转”是客观真理，用一般现在时。Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your reading ability.
