8、etaway“离开”。9.Do考查定语从句和强调句型。第一空要填的是在非限制性定语从句中作宾语的关系代词which;第二空为强调句型中的引导词，因为强调的是主句中的宾语，故用that。10.D。breakdown（情感）失去控制，breakin“强行进入，breakout“突出发生，breakup散去，瓦解，分开，断交”。11.A。本题考查了“可能”这个意义的有关的几个形容词probable,likely,possible,其“可能”性依次递减，因此前面应该填possible,后面填probable。12.B。separatefrom“分开”，divide用于o.。13.D

9、。usual“通常的，惯例的，unusual“不同寻常的，结合Howstrange!可知答案。14.Alooklike不能带从句，C项waslikely尽管可以带从句但意义不符，D项lookedas“看上去如同，不合事理”。15.C考查倒装句。语境为：他在昨天的会议上一句话也没有说。表示否定意义的词位于句首时，句子需要部分倒装。16.D考查动词短语辨析。giveout”释放，力竭”；sendout“发出”；turnout“导致结果”；ruleout排除，否决，拒绝考虑”（通常以possibility为宾语），所以应选D项。17.B。会话中第一人说他不当歌手已有5年了。第二个人感到惊讶，所以他说

10、“不是真的吧？怎么是这样？”所以A不对，因为他不再是歌星；D也不对，5年了已不再是“idea”了。C项与语境不符，不礼貌。18.0从usedto可判断，强调已经发生的事对现在产生的影响，故选用现在完成时。19.Do题干的谓语为hasaroused现在完成时，since短语作状语，谓语常用现在完成时。20.Bopickuponeshealth使身体恢复健康。田.完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）（2009?江苏）Therequirementsforhighschoolgraduationhavejustchangedinmycommunity.Asaresult,allstude
