B.After C.While D.Unless【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然互联网已经变更了我们的生活，但并不是全部的影响都是主动的。分析句子可知，前后两句话之间为逻辑上的“让步”关系，故句子为让步状语从句，while意为“尽管，虽然”时，可以引导让步状语从句，符合句意。since意为“自从……以来”时，引导时间状语从句，意为“既然”时，引导缘由状语从句；after意为“在……之后”，引导时间状语从句；unless意为“除非，假如不”，引导条件状语从句。故选C项。3.Howexcitedtheyare!Itseemsthattheyeachotherforyears.A.don'tsee B.didn'tsee C.haven'tseen D.hadn'tseen【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查时态。句意：他们多么激烈啊！好像他们彼此许多年没见面了。“foryears”表示一段时间，常和现在完成时连用，故选C项。4.Scientistsestimatethatsmokingreduceslifeexpectancybyaround12years.A.incommon B.inall C.onthewhole D.onaverage【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意：科学家估计，吸烟会使人的预期寿命平均削减12年左右。A.incommon共同的，共有的；B.inall总共，合计；C.onthewhole总体上；D.onaverage平均。结合语境可知，此处指吸烟使人的寿命平均削减12年左右，故选D项。5.I'mafraidhe'smoreofatalkerthanadoer,iswhyheneverfinishesanything.A.which B.that C.what D.where【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：唯恐他是一个健谈的人而不是一个实干家，这就是为什么他什么都没完成。分析句子可知，本句为非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，在从句中作主语，“他是一个健谈的人而不是一个实干家”是“他什么都没完成”的缘由，故应用which引导非限制性定语从句，that不引导非限制性定语从句；what不能引导定语从句；句中缺主语，不能用关系副词where。故选A项。6.—IstherethemovieNezhaoninthecinematonight?—Therebe.Iwillphonethecinemaandfinditout.A.might B.would C.need D.must【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查情态动词。句意：—今晚电影院有电影《哪吒》上映吗？—可能有。我会打电话给电影院看看。依据句中Iwillphonethecinemaandfinditout.可知，电影《哪吒》上映的动作可能会发生，空格处是对事情发生的可能性的推想，情态动词might用在确定句中，表示对可能性的推想，符合语境，would意为“情愿”，need意为“须要”，must意为“必需”，不符合语境。故选A项。7.Sometouristslovetopartytherelateintothenight,itdifficultforlocalstosleep.A.made B.making C.tomake D.havingmade【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：一些游客宠爱在那里狂欢到深夜，这让当地人很难入睡。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词love，且前后句之间没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语是前面的整个句子，它与动词make之间是主动关系，所以空处需用现在分词making作结果状语。故选B。8.Afterretirement,Mr.Johndancing,whichhehadalwayslovedbuthadnotimefor.A.tookup B.gotup C.heldup D.lookedup【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查动词短语。句意：退休之后，约翰先生起先跳舞，这是他始终宠爱但是没有时间做的事情。A.tookup起先做；B.gotup起床；C.heldup举起；D.lookedup向上看。依据句意，这里表示某人起先去做某事，故选A项。9.Weareconfidentthattheenvironment______byourfurthereffortstoreducepollution.A.hadbeenimproved B.willbeimprovedC.isimproved D.wasimproved【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：我们信任，通过进一步削减污染的努力，环境将会得到改善。表示将要发生的事情，用一般将来时，“环境”和“改善”之间是被动关系，用被动语态，故选B。10.Doingyourhomeworkisasurewaytoimproveyourtestscores,andthisisespeciallytrue____itcomestoclassroomtests.A.before

B.why C.which D.what【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查主语从句。句意：或许在龙吉梯田，最重要的是人们与自然和谐相处的方式。分析句子结构可知，此处是主语从句，从句缺少主语，且指物，应运用what引导，指代“最重要的东西”。故选D。12.Thebasketballcoach,aswellashisteam,________interviewedshortlyafterthematchfortheiroutstandingperformance.A.were B.wasC.is D.are【答案】B【解析】【分析】篮球教练和他的球队在竞赛结束后不久就接受了采访【详解】考查主谓一样及动词时态。句意：因为他们精彩的表现，竞赛一结束，篮球教练和他的球队队员就被采访了。主语后接由with，except，aswellas，nolessthan，ratherthan，besides，togetherwith，like，including，inadditionto等构成的短语时，谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一样；事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时。故选B。13.Igowhenthere'sagameonnearhome,butusuallyIwatchitonTV.A.occasionally
