B。根据句意可知考查的是“the比较级; the比较级”句式，healthy的比较级为healthier

28、； wealthy的比较级为wealthier，故选B项。2. B。根据语境可知她的冒险精神以及对新事物的开放态度为这段日子增加了很多快乐。add to增加；result from由于；turn out结果是；make sure确保、务必，根据题意，可知选B项。3. D。根据题意可知由小公司扩展成为大公司，指规模上的扩大。lengthen变长；extend延伸；stretch拉伸，拉直，不符合题意。4. A。考查介词的辨析。由句意可知“妈妈为我所取得的成功而感到自豪。”be proud of 为固定短语，意为“为而自豪”。5. D。从语境来看，可知“鲍勃，该你了”。轮到某人应使用its one

29、s turn。A项意为“由你决定”；B项“你弄清楚了”；C项意为“这是个事实”均与语境不符。 6. A。to conclude相当于in conclusion，意为“总而言之”。7. B。为避免重复，that，those，ones均可代替前面提到过的名词所表示的同类事物，但后面要有修饰语。that和those表特指，ones表泛指。单数可数名词或不可数名词用that，复数名词用those。题中furniture为不可数名词，因此用that。it指物时， 是指上文所提到的那个事物。8. C。句意为：我爸爸过去常常饭后吸烟，但现在他习惯于饭后喝水。used to过去常常，后跟动词原形；be use

30、d to习惯于，后跟动词ing形式。9. B。“be supposed to do sth.”的进行时。由后一句的“found her playing in the street”可知。10. B。leave out此处表示“删除，省略”；add表示“加上”。根据句意选B项。11. A。句意为：面试将给我们提供一次机会，让你们对公司形成个印象。form形成，在句中不定式短语作后置定语。chance to do sth.的机会。12. A。keep out of置身之外，不卷入；break away from脱离；hold back from犹豫不定，控制；get rid of摆脱，除去。根据题

31、意：妈妈一直告诉她儿子不要惹上麻烦，但是他今天又把邻居家的玻璃打碎了，可知答案为A。13. B。根据句意“这项工程旨在帮助贫困山区的孩子接受教育”可知选B，aim at doing sth.aim to do sth.目的在于。其他选项均不合题意。14. D。equipment 是不可数名词，四个选项只有lots of可以修饰不可数名词。15. C。No problem.表示“没问题”。根据but may I ask you a question可判断对方会回应是否回答问题。Im very grateful.我非常感激；Nothing serious.没什么严重的；Never mind表示“不

32、要紧，没关系”，是对道歉的答语。二、句子翻译1. The audience reacted strongly to the movie.2. When water boils it turns into steam.3. He has formed the habit of getting up early.4. You should dissolve the medicine into the sugar water and then let your children drink it.5. Dont make fun of him again; he is no longer what

This dictionary is exactly five times more expensive than that one.14. He is two inches taller than his father. / He is taller than his

35、father by two inches.三、完形填空俗话说“贪小便宜吃大亏”，在生活中诚信显得很重要。本文通过描述Mr. Glen的一段亲身经历说明了这一道理。1. A。考查固定搭配。set up设立，成立；come up走近，出现；go up上升，增长；call up召唤，使想起。由语境可知选A，他成立了他的小公司。2. C。根据全文可知，Mr. Glen把这次教训当作交了一次“额外的”学费。extra额外的，不包括在价目内的。文章最后一段中because an additional high “school” fee也有暗示。3. B。根据前文decided to return to t

36、he homeland可知，此处表示“离开”。4. C。空后的made through years of work after school and the scholarships可知，表是他用他的积蓄(课外工作所得和奖学金)买的。saving存款，积蓄。5. C。考查固定搭配。take down拿下，摘下；put down放下，拒绝；lie down躺下；look down俯视，跌价。此处的意思是：手表也要摘下来进行检查。6. C。根据后文中nearly￥100,000可排除A和B，从had to pay the tax可知，携带特定的物品出境需要缴税。7. B。it代指前面的the ta

37、x。8. D。根据后文中carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods可知。9. B。be proud of以自豪。他以为自己的小聪明会得逞，正洋洋自得。10. A。in the presence of Glen当着Glen的面。 11. D。定语从句的引导词which指代the watch，cost的主语为物，spend的主语为人。12. A。根据Glen was amazed可知答案。他还没有明白过来是怎么回事，就被带到了办公室。13. D。根据后文“他知道只有黑名单上的人才享受这种特殊待遇，工作人员仔细检查了他的箱子”可以判 断，应选D项。14. B。此处指根据多次出入境的经历，他知道15. A。工作人员警告他无论什么时候出入境，他都必须接受检查。16. B。这是一个省略的虚拟语气句。If (he was) found out reusing and carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods，he would be charged according to law！find out查明(真相)。17
