2024-2025学年度漯河职业技术学院单招《英语》通关题库及参考答案详解【培优】

漯河职业技术学院单招《英语》通关题库考试时间：90分钟；命题人：教研组考生注意：1、本卷分第I卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，满分100分，考试时间90分钟2、答卷前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、班级填写在试卷规定位置上3、答案必须写在试卷各个题目指定区域内相应的位置，如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用涂改液、胶带纸、修正带，不按以上要求作答的答案无效。第I卷（选择题60分）一、单选题（20小题，每小题3分，共计60分）1、Mr.White（）at8:30forthemeeting,buthedidn'tshowup.A.shouldhavearrivedB.shouldarriveC.shouldhavehadarrivedD.shouldbearriving答案:A解析:这道题考查“shouldhave+过去分词”的用法。“shouldhave+过去分词”表示本应该做某事但实际未做。在这个情境中，Mr.White本应该在8:30到达会议，但他没有出现。A选项“shouldhavearrived”符合这种用法，B选项“shouldarrive”是应该到达，未体现过去的时间点，C选项形式错误，D选项“shouldbearriving”是将来进行时，均不符合题意。所以答案是A。2、Asyouwriteinthestory,ithasbeen20years（）Ilastsawyouinahotel.A.whenB.beforeC.afterD.since答案:D解析:这道题考查时间状语从句的连接词。在英语语法中，“Itis/hasbeen+时间段+since...”是一个常用结构，表示“自从……以来已经多久了”。题中“ithasbeen20years”，结合语境，“since”最符合，表示“自从我上次在旅馆见到你已经20年了”。A选项“when”表时间点；B选项“before”表在……之前；C选项“after”表在……之后，均不符合题意。3、TianwuhasclimbedHuashanmorethan3,000timesinthepastdecade.Heisa（1）,transportinggoodsuptheslopesonhisback,foraliving.Butheismost（2）,forhisdisability:Hehasonlyonearm.He（3）hisleftarminanaccidentin1992atthecoalmine.Withtwoyoungchildrenandparentsto（4）,hewasworkingovertimethatdaywhenapulleybrake（5）.Afterthatheopenedastore,butitwentbankruptfromtoomany（6）sales.（7）hishardwork,hewasleftwithnothingbutdebts.ThenheheardaboutbearersforHuashanMountainfromafriendandthoughtitwouldbean（8）job.Hisfirstjobwasto（9）30kilogramsofgoodstoHighLadder.Hehadacompanionwho（10）mid-way,buthefinishedhisjobwith（11）paininhisknees.Butashe（12）experiencethroughtheyears,hehasdevelopedhisown（13）forclimbingthemountain.Nowhecarries60kilogramsofgoodsupthemountaineveryday—1kilogrammorethanhisownbodyweight.（14）,hemakesthreetofourtripseachdaytoandfrom.“I（15）eachstepverycarefullyandhaveneverhadanyaccidentinthepast10years.”Hesaid.Beingabearerisatiresomeanddulljobinmanypeople'sminds,butheenjoyshimself.Heap-preciatesandremembersthecalligraphy（16）intherocksandcopiesthem.Hisfavoriteoneis,“Thoughheavysnowfallsdownonverdant(青翠的)pines,thepinesstillstand（17）。”Heoncesaid,“I'dliketostayherebecausethemountainpaysmyhardwork（18）。”“Idon'tlament(对……感到悲痛)formy（19）daysandwillnotfearthefuture,”Hesaid.Thepainstakingjobhasgivenhimastrong（20）

第6空填（）。A.casualB.creditC.chainD.constant答案:B解析:在句子中，“casualsales”意味着随意的、非正式的或者偶然的销售，这通常不会导致店铺破产。而“creditsales”指的是赊销，即顾客可以在购买后不立即付款，而是延迟一段时间再支付。如果赊销过多，可能会导致资金回笼困难，进而造成店铺经营不善甚至破产。根据语境，“butitwentbankruptfromtoomany________sales”更合理地应该是指由于过多的赊销导致的破产，因此选项B“credit”是正确的。4、What_______you_______lastweekend?A.do；doB.does；doC.did；doD.did；does答案:C解析:这道题考查一般过去时的特殊疑问句形式。一般过去时中，助动词用did，其后动词用原形。A选项do；do是一般现在时；B选项does；do也是一般现在时，且does用于第三人称单数；D选项did；does错误，did后应接动词原形。所以根据一般过去时的语法规则，应选C选项did；do。5、—Sorry,Tony,I'mafraidthatIcan'tgotoyourbirthdaypartytomorrow.

—________.A.It'shardtosay.B.That'sallright.C.IsthatsoD.Whatapity!答案:D解析:这道题考查日常交际用语的理解。当对方表示不能参加生日聚会时，A选项“It'shardtosay.”意为“很难说”，不符合情境；B选项“That'sallright.”通常用于回答道歉，不适用；C选项“Isthatso”意为“是这样吗”，也不恰当。D选项“Whatapity!”表示“真遗憾！”，能恰当回应不能参加聚会这一情况。所以应选D选项。6、Ieatrice________beefandpotatoes.It’sdelicious.A.inB.onC.withD.for答案:C解析:这道题考查介词的用法。“with”有“和……一起”的意思。在这个句子中，“Ieatricewithbeefandpotatoes.”表示“我吃米饭和牛肉、土豆”，“with”能准确表达米饭与牛肉、土豆的伴随关系。A选项“in”表示“在……里面”；B选项“on”表示“在……上面”；D选项“for”表示“为了”，都不符合句子意思，所以应选C选项。7、A:Lingling,youlookunhappy.What'sup?B:Dad,Ihaveaproblemwithmybestfriend.A:(1)B:We'vebeenfriendsforfiveyears.Wewenttodifferentschoolslastterm.Andshecametostudyinourschoolthisterm.Iwasveryhappyatfirst.(2)A:Canyoutellmehowshe'sdifferent?B:Shedoesn'tlikemetoseemyotherfriends.A:(3)B:Yes,Idid.Butsherefusedtolisten.A:(4)B:No.Idon'tknow.A:Maybeshedoesn'tfeelsureofherself.(5)B:Maybe.WhatshallIdothen?A:Youcanintroducehertoyourotherfriendsandencouragehertojoininmore.B:Isee.Thanks,Dad.

第（1）空填（）A.Doyouknowwhyshetreatsyoulikethat?B.What'shername?C.Haveyoumentionedthistoher?D.Whathappened?答案:D解析:在对话中，A询问B看起来不高兴的原因，B提到和最好的朋友有问题。根据对话的上下文和逻辑，A接下来会询问具体发生了什么事情，以便了解问题的详情。因此，选项D“Whathappened?”是最合适的填空选项，它直接询问了问题的具体情况。8、Mr.Smithstoodatthebusstopandwatchedthecarsgoby.ManyofthecarswerenewBeta400s,andmostofthemwereyellow,Mr.Smithalwaysworethesameclothesasothermen,atethesamefoodasotherpeople,anddidthesamethingsafterworkandattheendoftheweek.Mr.Smithdidnotliketobedifferent.

第(5)选（）A.alittleB.LittleC.abitofD.bit答案:A解析:在句子中，“strange”是一个形容词，用来描述艾伦耳朵可能会有的感觉。选项A“alittle”常用于修饰形容词，表示“一点儿”，用在这里表示艾伦的耳朵可能会感到有点儿奇怪，符合语境。选项B“Little”表示否定意义，意为“几乎没有”，与句意不符。选项C“abitof”通常修饰名词，表示“一点儿”，不能修饰形容词。选项D“bit”单独使用时，通常表示“咬”或“一口”，也不符合语境。因此，正确答案是A。12、Thereareforty-fivestudentsinourclass.Someareplayingbasketball,（）aredoingtheirhomework.A.otherB.theothersC.anotherD.others答案:D解析:这道题考查“other”相关词汇的用法。“other”表示“其他的”，后接名词；“theothers”指特定范围内的其余全部；“another”表示“另一个”；“others”相当于“other+名词”。在题中，没有特定范围，且其后无名词，所以用“others”，表示“其他的（人）”。13、Wefound（）difficulttofinishallthehomeworktoday.A.thatB.thisC.thoseD.it答案:D解析:这道题考查形式宾语的用法。在英语语法中，当宾语较长时，常用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语后置。在“Wefound（）difficulttofinishallthehomeworktoday.”这个句子中，“tofinishallthehomeworktoday”是真正的宾语，太长了，所以用it作形式宾语，使句子结构更清晰合理。A、B、C选项均无法在此处充当形式宾语，所以答案选D。14、—WouldyoumindmyturninguptheTV?Theconcerthasjustbegun.—（）,Justgoahead.A.OfcoursenotB.Pleasedon'tC.I'mafraidnotD.Betternot答案:A解析:这道题考查日常交际用语。在这种情境中，A选项“Ofcoursenot”意思是“当然不介意”，符合回答者鼓励对方去调高电视音量的态度。B选项“Pleasedon't”是“请不要”，不符合语境。C选项“I'mafraidnot”意思是“恐怕不行”，D选项“Betternot”是“最好不要”，均与“Justgoahead.”的态度相悖。所以应选A选项。15、Manyscientistsbelievethatoilwasformedintheearth（）yearsago.A.millionB.millionsC.themillionsD.millionsof答案:D解析:这道题考查数词的用法。在英语中，“millionsof”表示“数百万的”，是一个固定短语，用于形容数量众多。A选项“million”单独使用时需与具体数字连用；B选项“millions”缺少“of”，不能直接修饰名词；C选项“themillions”用法错误。所以“millionsofyearsago”能正确表达“数百万年前”，答案选D。16、After20yearsofmarriage,mywifewantedmetotakeanotherwomanoutto（1）.Shesaid,“Iloveyou,butIknowthisotherwomanlovesyoutoo.”Theotherwomanthatmywifewantedmetovisitwasmymother,whohasbeenawidow(寡妇)for19years,butmybusylifehadmadeitimpossibletovisither（2）.ThatnightIcalledto（3）heroutfordinner.“What'swrong?Areyouwell?”she'asked.Mymotheristhetypeofwomanwhosuspectsthatalatenight（4）isasignofbadnews.“Ithoughtthatitwouldbepleasanttospendsometimewithyou,”I（5）.Shethoughtaboutitforamoment,and（6）.Duringthedinner,wehadanagreeableconversation—（7）extraordinarybutrecenteventsofeachother'slife.Beforewe（8）,shesaid,“I'llgooutwithyouagain,（9）onlyifyouletmeinviteyou.”Afewdays（10）,mymotherdiedofaheartattack.It（11）sosuddenlythatIdidn'thaveachancetodoanythingforher.Afewdaysafterthefuneral,Ireceivedanenvelopewithare-ceipt(收据)fromthesameplacewheremotherandIhad（12）.Anattachednote（13）:“Ipaidthisbill（14）.Iwasn'tsurethatIcouldbethere;butnevertheless,Ipaidfortwo（15）一oneforyouandtheotherforyour（16）.Youwillneverknowwhatthatnightmeantforme.I（17）you,son.”Atthatmoment,I（18）theimportanceofsayingintime:“ILOVEYOU”.Giveyourfamilythe（19）theydeserve,becausesometimesthingscannotbe（20）till“someothertime”.

第19空填（）。A.timeB.moneyC.comfortD.calls答案:A解析:在句子“Giveyourfamilythe（19）theydeserve”中，根据语境理解，这里指的是要给予家人他们应得的时间陪伴与关爱。家人之间需要的是相互的陪伴和时间的投入，而不是金钱、安慰或电话。因此，正确答案是A，即“时间”。17、Acommitteeoffivemembers（）bythecitygovernmenttostudytheprob-lem.A.areappointedB.hasappointedC.hasbeenappointedD.havebeenappointed答案:C解析:这道题考查被动语态和主谓一致。在英语语法中，“committee”是集合名词，视为整体，谓语动词用单数。“bythecitygovernment”表明是被动关系。根据语境，动作已完成，要用现在完成时的被动语态。所以答案是C，“hasbeenappointed”，表示“五人委员会已被市政府任命去研究这个问题”。18、You'dbetterstop（）andhavearestforatleasttwohours.Youarereallytired.A.workB.toworkC.workingD.toworking答案:C解析:这道题考查“stop”的用法。“stopdoingsth.”表示停止正在做的事，“stoptodosth.”表示停下来去做另一件事。题中说“至少休息两小时，真的累了”，所以是要停止工作，“work”是动词，“working”是其动名词形式，应选“stopworking”，答案是C。19、AlbertEinsteinwasfromaJewishfamily.HewasborninGermany.Whenhewas（1）,helikedtoaskquestions.Bythetimehewasfourteenyearsold,he（2）advancedmathematics（3）byhimself.（4）thenhehaddecidedtobecomeaphysicistand（5）himself（6）abstract(抽象)research.Hisfamilywasnotrich,buthisparentsmanaged（7）himtoatechnicalschooland（8）totheFederalInstituteofTechnologyinSwitzerland.Aftergraduation,hebegantoteach.Later,heworkedinagovernmentoffice.Then（9）themoneyhesaved,hecontinuedhisstudiesattheUniversityofZurich.In1905hegota（10）degree.Itwasatthattime（11）hebegantheresearchandstudieswhichled（12）hisfamousTheoryofRelativity.Formostpeople,histheorywas（13）difficulttounderstand.Manyscientistslaughed（14）itand（15）wouldacceptit.ButEinsteinstucktoitandwentonwithhisresearch.

第(6)选（）A.forB.onC.withD.to答案:D解析:在此上下文中，需要选择一个介词来搭配“himself”和“abstractresearch”，表达爱因斯坦致力于抽象研究的意思。选项D“to”与“himself”搭配，构成“devoteoneselftosth.”的结构，意为“致力于某事”，符合语境。因此，正确答案是D。20、After20yearsofmarriage,mywifewantedmetotakeanotherwomanoutto（1）.Shesaid,“Iloveyou,butIknowthisotherwomanlovesyoutoo.”Theotherwomanthatmywifewantedmetovisitwasmymother,whohasbeenawidow(寡妇)for19years,butmybusylifehadmadeitimpossibletovisither（2）.ThatnightIcalledto（3）heroutfordinner.“What'swrong?Areyouwell?”she'asked.Mymotheristhetypeofwomanwhosuspectsthatalatenight（4）isasignofbadnews.“Ithoughtthatitwouldbepleasanttospendsometimewithyou,”I（5）.Shethoughtaboutitforamoment,and（6）.Duringthedinner,wehadanagreeableconversation—（7）extraordinarybutrecenteventsofeachother'slife.Beforewe（8）,shesaid,“I'llgooutwithyouagain,（9）onlyifyouletmeinviteyou.”Afewdays（10）,mymotherdiedofaheartattack.It（11）sosuddenlythatIdidn'thaveachancetodoanythingforher.Afewdaysafterthefuneral,Ireceivedanenvelopewithare-ceipt(收据)fromthesameplacewheremotherandIhad（12）.Anattachednote（13）:“Ipaidthisbill（14）.Iwasn'tsurethatIcouldbethere;butnevertheless,Ipaidfortwo（15）一oneforyouandtheotherforyour（16）.Youwillneverknowwhatthatnightmeantforme.I（17）you,son.”Atthatmoment,I（18）theimportanceofsayingintime:“ILOVEYOU”.Giveyourfamilythe（19）theydeserve,becausesometimesthingscannotbe（20）till“someothertime”.

第16空填（）。A.motherB.familyC.wifeD.child答案:C解析:在文中，母亲留下的字条中提到“Ipaidfortwo—oneforyouandtheotherforyour_____”，结合前文可知，作者与母亲共进晚餐时，原本只有作者和母亲两人，但母亲付了两人的费用。考虑到文中还提到作者的妻子希望作者能多陪伴母亲，以及后文强调及时表达对家人的爱的重要性，可以推断这里的“theother”指的是作者的妻子，即选项C。母亲这样做可能是希望作者能意识到，除了她之外，作者还应该多关心和陪伴妻子。第Ⅱ卷（非选择题40分）二、填空题（10小题，每小题3分，共计30分）1、[未知题型(5)]单句改错。IlikeA(playing)tennisB(inmyfreetime),butIamnotC(interesting)D(in)football．答案:C，interested2、DearFiona,

根据短文内容，在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案填入文中(19)处。（）A.practiceB.crossC.keepD.finish答案:D解析:根据短文中的句子“It'steno'clocknow,butwejust(19)thedinner.”，可以推断出此处需要表达的是“现在才十点，但我们刚吃完饭”。在四个选项中，只有D选项“finish”意为“完成”，符合语境，表示晚餐已经完成。因此，D选项是正确答案。3、[未知题型(5)]单句改错。A(Could)youtellmeB(how)C(can)ID(getto)thestation?答案:C，Ican4、Thinkaboutthedifferentwaysthatpeopleusethewind.Youcanuseittoflyakiteortosailaboat.Windisoneofourcleanestandrichestpowersources(来源),aswellasoneoftheoldest.Peoplebegantousewindmills(风车)inWestAsiaabout2,700yearsago.Duringthe1100s,EuropeansoldiersreturnedfromtheMiddleEastandtheyknewhowtousewindpower.ThenwindmillsfirstappearedinEurope.

Theunderlinedphrase“runout”inParagraph3means“_____”A.跑出去B.逃跑C.用完D.流走答案:C解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段“Duringthe1970s,peoplestartedtocareaboutthepollutionfromburningfossilfuel.Peoplealsocametoknowthatthefuelwouldrunoutoneday.”可知，20世纪70年代，人们开始关注燃烧化石燃料造成的污染。所以猜测人们也开始知道燃料总有一天会耗尽，所以runout意为“用完”。故选C。5、[未知题型(5)]句子改写，将两个简单句合并成一个含不定式且意思基本相同的简单句。Heisveryrich．Hecanbuythesethings．答案:Heisrichenoughtobuythesethings．6、—What____usefulbookitis!

—Yeah,ittellsyouhowtoplay____guitar.A.an；theB.a；aC.a；theD.an；a答案:C解析:这道题考查不定冠词和定冠词的用法。不定冠词a用于辅音音素开头的单词前，an用于元音音素开头的单词前。useful以辅音音素开头，用a。“playthe+乐器”是固定用法，guitar是乐器，要用the。所以答案选C。7、DearFiona,

根据短文内容，在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案填入文中(25)处。（）A.TalkB.LearnC.WishD.Race答案:C解析:在原文句子“AndI'llgobackhomethen._____(25)_____toseeyousoon.”中，根据语境理解，此处应表达的是期待或希望很快见到对方的意思。选项A“Talk”意为“谈话”，不符合语境；选项B“Learn”意为“学习”，与语境不符；选项D“Race”意为“赛跑”，显然与语境不相关。只有选项C“Wish”意为“希望”，用在这里表示希望很快见到对方，符合语境。因此，正确答案为C。8、DearFiona,
