8、 of the following unfinished sentences there are four choices marked A, B , C and DChoose the one that best completes the sentence. ()1.In the long run，our attention must _economic construction. Afocus on Bfocus Cbe focused Dbe focused on,1D。focus on与attention 之间为动宾关系，故用被动形式。,()2. _about the economi

9、c crisis that he decided to look for more information about it. ASo curious he was BSo curious was he CSuch curious he was DSuch curious was he,2B。用so修饰形容词curious，且so curious放在句首，主句应用部分倒装，故选B项。,()3.The man is strong enough to lift a stone _ as much as four hundred kilograms. Aweighed Bweighing Cto w

10、eigh Dbeing weighed,3B。此处考查weigh表“称起来”，不表具体动作，而表主语性质时，用主动形式表被动意义的用法。此处还是非谓语，又是主动形式，所以选B。,()4.I have to say that after you presented your idea，I agree with you _. Awith a degree Bto a degree Cby a degree Dwith the degree,4B。此处考查固定短语搭配。to a / some / certain degree意为“从某种程度上”。,()5.Do you know the 3G mob

Ato；one Bthan；one Cto；it Dthan；it,5A。be superior to 比更好；用one代指前面提及的同一类事物。,()6.Many proposals were put forward _ the boss decided on the plan. Abecause Bbefore Cwhether Dunless,6B。此处考查

12、before的用法。“一般过去时态before一般过去时态”常作“然后”。本句意为“许多的建议被提出，然后老板定下了这个计划”。,()7.Did Jim hand in his assignment on time? Yes.It was not yet eight oclock _ he finished it. Abefore Bwhen Cthat Duntil,7B。本题考查句型“It is / was 时间点when引导的定语从句”。本句意为“还不到8点，他就做完了。”,()8.Did Jim hand in his assignment on time? Yes.It was be

13、fore eight oclock _ he finished it. Abefore Bwhen Cthat Duntil,8C。本题考查强调句。如果It is / was后接的是介词短语，则一定是强调句强调状语，所以填that。,()9.It is eight years _ I lived in the countryside. Asince Bwhen Cbefore Dthat,9A。本题考查It is时间段since的固定句型，意思为“自从到现在已经多久了”。本句意思是“我不住在农村已经有8年了”。,()10.He is such a dishonest man _ nobody

14、wants to believe in _. Aas；him Bthat；不填 Cas；不填 Dwhom；him,10C。本题有两种填法。若把man当先行词，后面看成定语从句，由于先行词被such修饰，所以关系词用as，后面不填；第二种，把从句当做结果状语从句，引导词填that，第二个空填him。所以答案为C。,()11.The radiation amount of a mobile phone for two halfhour periods per day is equal to _ to an Xray for ten seconds. Aexpose Bexposing Cbe ex

15、posed Dbeing exposed,11D。此处考查be equal to中to是介词，所以后面要接动名词形式。而be exposed to是“接触”的意思，所以答案为D。,()12.I sent for a technician _ John isnt familiar _ the computer software they use. Ain case；with Bin case；to Cso that；with Dso that；to,12A。根据本题意思“我派人去叫一个技术人员，以防John不熟悉他们使用的电脑软件”。所以第一个空要填in case；第二个空，be familia

16、r with，主语为人；be familiar to主语为物，所以答案为A。,()13.The situation is hard to _，because he isnt a man easy to _. Abe dealt；communicate Bbe dealt with；be communicated Cdeal with；communicate with Ddeal；be communicated with,13C。本题考查主系表结构，当表语是形容词时，后面的动词不定式用主动形式表被动意义。所以答案为C。,()14._ is known to us all，only the the

17、ory _ practice can be practical. AWhich；base on BWhich；based on CAs；based on DAs；basing on,14C。第一个空应该填一个引导非限定性定语从句的代词。先行词为后面的整个句子，所以只能填as，因为which不能放句首；第二个空应该填非谓语动词作定语，由于be based on表“基于”，所以用被动，答案为C。,()15.I hope to go to college next year，always _ that I pass my exams. Aassume Bto assume Cassuming Das

18、sumed,15C。本题考查assume作状语，由于句子主语和assume之间是主动关系，而且是非谓语作条件状语，所以我们用现在分词。,.Directions：Complete the following sentences by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context. 16I believe that all of us will benefit a lot _this competition. 17Citizens now have free access _ the parks and museums

26、. huge Bpoisonous Cdelicate Dcautions ()27.A. refreshed Bdiscovered Cthreatened Dwitnessed,26A。whales是巨型的哺乳动物，所以此处填写huge。,27C。根据后面一句，尽管killer whales处于食物链的顶端，但是它们的生命还是受到威胁，构成转折关系，答案为C。,()28.A. activity Borganization Carea Davenue ()29.A. sympathy Benthusiasm Cexcitement Dconcern,28B。根据定语从句which works

27、 with scientists to protect whales.可以得出只能是organization才能works with scientists。所以答案为B。,29D。根据上下文，whales的生命受到威胁，所以人们应该是对此关注，所以答案为D。,()30.A. stop Bdecrease Cincrease Dimprove ()31.A. released Babandoned Cpredicted Drelieved,30B。因为船多，所以减弱了whales的超声波，而它们需要超声波帮助寻找食物。,31A。新发布的研究结果，所以用released。,()32.A. dama

28、ging Bdestroying Cwounding Dsupporting ()33.A. changed Bsunk Creduced Dfallen,32A。根据后面定语从句说whales数量在减少，所以说明是在毁坏whales，而destroy是表示摧毁，过重，所以选damaging。,33D。根据句意是鲸鱼的数量由98降到了80，故选D。而reduce为及物动词要接宾语。,()34.A. tasting Bhunting Csearching Deating ()35.A. astonished Bannoyed Cdisappointed Dexcited,34B。消耗了本用来寻找

29、食物的能量，所以答案为hunting。searching是不及物动词，要与for搭配。,35B。从上下文看出，是船只和船只的噪音影响了whales，所以whales是annoyed。,()36.A. But BOr CWhile DBesides ()37.A. sound Bvoice Cnoise Decho,36D。上句说食物锐减，后面说鲸鱼数量在减少，所以两者都是描述状况不好，属并列关系。,37C。船发出的声音对于whales来说是noise。,.Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank wi

35、orded in your hair，” said Thure Cerling，a geologist at the University of Utah. While US.diet is relatively identical，water supplies vary.The differences result from weather patterns.The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move. Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are

36、 stable，but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素)The heaviest rain falls first. As a result，storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.,Similar patterns exist throughout the US.By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and ox

37、ygen isotopes along a strand of hair，scientists can construct a geographic timeline.Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months. Cerlings team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences.They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair

38、samples collected from 65 barber shops.,They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems. “Its not good for pinpointing (精确定位)，” Cerling said. “Its good for eliminating many possibilities.” Todd Park，a local detective，said the

39、 method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.,The woman was 5 feet tall.Police recovered 26 bones，a Tshirt and several strands of hair.

44、er areas. DIt gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.,48B。通过As a result，storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.可以看出，heavier water是在the Pacific形成的，然后慢慢暴风再携带heavier water去往内陆。所以越往内陆，water就越lighter。,()49.Cerlings team produced _ in their research.

Researcher

52、s later discovered that 11 of the womans relatives had another type of synesthesia, known as colorgrapheme synesthesia.,Recent studies have shed more light on the phenomenon. Researchers have used brain scans, touch tests, and questionnaires to look for mirrortouch synesthesia in 10 subjects. Brain
