上海继光中学2020年高三英语上学期期末试题含解析一、选择题1.－Youseemtobefamiliarwiththiscity.－I_______hereforfouryears.It’sgreattobeback.Ahavelived

Blived

Chadlived

Dlive参考答案：B【知识点】动词的时态与语态

句意：你看起来对这个城市很熟。我在这里生活了三年，回来真好。结合语境可知，这里只是描述的是过去的事情，他在三年前曾住在这里，故用一般过去式，选B。2.Whenourancestorswerehuntersandgatherers10,000yearsago,theydidn’thavetimetowondermuchabout________butfindingfood.A.everything B.anything C.nothing D.something参考答案：B3.Itwassometime_______werealizedthetruth.A.when

B.until

C.since

D.before参考答案：D解析：此题考查句型惯用法。“Itis(was)(not)一段时间+before”“很长一段时间才；不久就……”等。另，此题许多学生易错选B.until但until前往往用实义动词，如：HehadbeenwaitinguntilIcameback..C项句型结构应是Itis+一段时间+since（从句谓语一般过去时）或itwas+一段时间+since（句中谓语过去完成时）故上句用since时态不对。所以答案是D。4.Totheirdisappointment,thecouple_____thehousebutcouldn'tfindthemissingring,whichwastobringthemintogreattrouble.A.gotthrough

B.wentthrough

C.livedthrough

D.lookedthrough参考答案：B5.Thegirllookssohappy.Sheabouttheresultofherperformance.A.shouldhaveknown B.wouldhaveknownC.couldhaveknown D.musthaveknown参考答案：D考查情态动词。句意:那个女孩看起来很高兴。她一定知道了表演的结果。根据"Thegirllookssohappy"可推断出"她肯定知道了表演的结果",表示对过去的肯定推测应使用musthavedone。6.Buseswerenotabletogonormallyontheroadsbecauseoftheheavysnowandmorethanonestudent
