[考点] 比较等级 [解析] 他变得越来越老了。 根据句中的is getting可知,这里强调逐渐变化的过程,所以应用形容词的比较级形式。“比较级+and+比较级”或“more and more/less and less+形容词/副词的原级”为比较级的常用结构,表示“越来越……”。当形容词或副词是单音节词或少数双音节词时,用前一种结构;而当形容词或副词是多音节词或部分双音节词时,用后一种结构。old为单音节形容词,应用前一种结构,其比较级为older。故选D。

[考点] 非谓语动词 [解析] 据说这位歌手下周要进行一个演讲。 sb./sth. is/was said to do sth. 为固定句型,意为“据说某人/某物要做……”,其中不定式作主语补足语。根据句意可知,The singer和give之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且这里表示将来发生的动作,所以应用不定式的一般式。故选C。
14. The classroom needs ______.
A.cleaned
B.cleaning
C.being cleaned
D.clean
A B C D
B
[考点] 非谓语动词 [解析] 这个教室需要打扫了。 当need,want,require意为“需要”,且前面的主语是指物的名词或代词时,其后常用动名词的主动形式或不定式的被动式作宾语,表示被动意义,所以空处应用cleaning或to be cleaned。故选B。

A B C D
A
[考点] 虚拟语气 [解析] 玛丽希望她在大学时学的是英语而不是商务。 wish后接的宾语从句常用虚拟语气。从句表示对现在情况的假设时,谓语动词用过去式(be动词用were);从句表示对过去情况的假设时,谓语动词用“had+过去分词”的形式;从句表示对将来情况的假设时,谓语动词用“would/could/might+动词原形”的形式。根据句中的when she was in university可知,本句中wishes后的宾语从句表示对过去情况的假设,所以从句谓语动词应用had studied。故选A。

18. My brothers ______ here, but not any more.
A.were used to living
B.had lived
C.used to live
D.had been living
A B C D
C
[考点] 动词时态和固定用法 [解析] 我的兄弟们过去在这里住,但现在不在这里住了。 根据句意及句中的not any more可知,空处应用used to do sth.结构,表示“过去常常做某事,但现在不做了”。be used to doing sth.意为“习惯于做某事”,与句意不符,所以A项不正确;句中没有明显的表示“过去的过去”这种时间先后顺序的词,所以B、D两项均不正确。故选C。
19. ______ a doctor in a hospital, one must have at least a master's degree.

第四大题 阅读理解 请根据所给文章内容,选出最为正确的答案。 In Britain and the US most people are careful about time. If they want to see a friend, or meet a business colleague, they telephone first to make an appointment. A lot of people don't like surprises. They want to know when a visitor is going to arrive. If people make an arrangement to meet, it's polite to arrive a few minutes early. Of course, everyone is late occasionally. Cars break down, trains are delayed and meetings go on too long. If people are late, they would say sorry, and explain what happened. Sometimes it's impossible to keep an appointment. But if people fail to arrive, the other person will be upset. They will make phone calls to explain.

There, they like to talk about business first and chat later—if there's time.

第五大题 阅读理解 请根据所给文章内容,选出最为正确的答案。 Remember that employers generally prefer to take on one person for the whole long period rather than have several people for short periods. If you are able to work for longer than the minimum period quoted, you are more likely to be offered the job. Most employers like to make their staff arrangements in good time, so try to apply early but never earlier than the date mentioned in the job advertisement. If you decide quite late to look for a job, write to several employers. Positions continue to become vacant as people leave for various reasons, and if you write to several firms you will probably be successful. Before applying for a position, check that you fulfill all the requirements as to the period of work, age and qualifications. Compose a short letter explaining which position interests you, why you think you are suitable for it, and the maximum time you are available. If possible, type this letter; if not, take care to see that the handwriting is legible. Enclose with your letter a standard CV(简历), covering the following points and any others you consider relevant. a. Personal details(name, address, telephone number, nationality, age, marital status). b. Subjects studied if you are a student, otherwise your present occupation. c. Relevant qualifications and previous work experience. Enclose a small recent photograph of yourself. Employers are more likely to reply promptly if you enclose an s.a.e. (self-addressed envelope) or, if you are applying from abroad, an international reply coupon. When a job is offered to you, cheek details of wages, hours, and the conditions of work with the employer. The details in the information sheet are supplied by the employer and are normally correct, but it is wise to obtain confirmation of them before accepting the position. If you are offered more than one job, decide quickly which one you prefer and inform all employers of your decision as soon as possible.

第六大题 阅读理解 请根据所给文章内容,选出最为正确的答案 The sea is very big. Look at a map of the world. There is less land than sea. The sea covers three quarters of the world. The sea is very deep in some places. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it. If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty(咸的). You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are less salty than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. Because it is very salty, swimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea, others live deep down. There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are very small. It is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these. The sea can be very cold. Divers, who dive deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes(挤压) him. Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal.

第七大题 阅读理解 请根据所给文章内容,选出最为正确的答案。 My wife and I only had one child. It might have been nice to have a son, but we didn't plan a family; we just had Amy. I see her as my best friend. I think she'd always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. I don't mind animals, but she's completely obsessed with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life. We were closest when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don't have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remembered her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenage daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men coming through our house. By the time I learned their names they'd gone away and I had to start learning a new lot. I remember I told her off once in front of her friends and she didn't talk to me for days afterwards. I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in what she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. She went to a good school, but that didn't work out. She must have upset somebody. When she left she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn't to her liking so she joined a theater group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work for a designer and he became her husband. And that's really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they're always together.

第八大题 阅读理解 请根据所给文章内容,选出最为正确的答案。 Public transportation in the 21st century is on the move, as more and more Americans are discovering the benefits of traveling on buses, trains, subways, trolleys and ferries. Currently there are more than 6,400 providers of public and community transportation offering Americans freedom, opportunity and the choice to travel by means of public transportation other than a car. Investments in the nation's public transportation infrastructure are paying off, with many communities—large and small—expanding and modernizing their systems. The benefits and importance of public transportation impact everyone, even those who may never board a train or bus, and Americans understand its value—so much that people are willing to tax themselves, if needed, to expand public transportation services. In recent years, voters around the country have overwhelmingly passed local public transportation ballot measures. Public transportation is critical to the nation's transportation system and is essential to the economic and social quality of life of its citizens. Through the development and deployment of the 21st century technology, today's riders are finding that public transportation is a far cry from the transit systems in the past. Buses and trains are easy to get on and off with stops announced to riders. New information technology alerts passengers by e-mail or cellphone when the next bus or train is coming. People plan their trips on transit agency websites. Public transportation helps everyone—commuters, families, students, senior citizens, persons with disabilities—live the American dreams that they seek to fulfill their personal and career goals, meet their daily needs and maintain a high level of transportation independence. Now, more than ever, it is evident that vital, strong public transportation systems are needed in the country.

第九大题 阅读理解 请根据所给文章内容,选出最为正确的答案。 The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes. You can wake to a beautiful blue sky and then it starts raining during breakfast. Similarly, you may decide not to go for a picnic because it's too wet—then later it's fine. As it is not very common in Britain to have long periods when the weather stays the same day after day, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on luck. The weather in Britain may explain a lot about what you find here. For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won't see people meeting and spending time together outdoors as much as you do in hotter countries. This may give some visitors the idea that the British are not very friendly. The weather helps to explain eating customs too; a large hot breakfast, for example, is a good idea on a cold dark morning. Foreigners are often amused that the British spend so much time discussing the weather. An important reason for this is that the climate in Britain is interesting and variable. Because the weather changes frequently, there is always something to say about it. This is probably the commonest way for strangers to start a conversation.
1. The weather in Britain often ______.
A.changes
B.good
C.bad
D.unchanged
A B C D
A
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第一段第一句“The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes.”可知,在英国,天气经常变化。故选A。
2. The opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on ______.
A.the mood
B.the feeling
C.the weather
D.the time
A B C D
C
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第二段第二句“...the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather...”可知,人们在户外见面的机会在很大程度上取决于天气。故选C。
3. ______ is a good idea on a cold dark morning.
A.Fruits
B.A large hot breakfast
C.A cup of tea
D.Rice and noodles
A B C D
B
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第二段最后一句“...a large hot breakfast...is a good idea on a cold dark morning.”可知,在一个寒冷且昏暗的早上,吃一顿丰盛的热早餐是个好主意。故选B。
4. The British spend so much time discussing ______.
A.football
B.Americans
C.the weather
D.foods
A B C D
C
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据最后一段第一句“...the British spend so much time discussing the weather.”可知,英国人花费很多时间讨论天气。故选C。
5. Which is the best title for this passage? ______
[解析] beginning作名词时为可数名词,意为“开头,开端,(事情、过程的)开始”。A good beginning(好的开始)作主语时,谓语动词应用单数形式。另外,本句是一句谚语,陈述的是一个客观事实,所以应用一般现在时。故句子表述正确。
5. The field of wheat spreads out too far too we can see.
对 错
B
[解析] too...to...为固定用法,意为“太……而不能……”,且to后应跟动词原形。本句中出现了两个too,且第二个too后是句子,不符合英语语法规则。本句可改为:The field of wheat spreads out too far for us to see.故句子表述不正确。
6. Have you got some clothes wash?
对 错
B
[解析] 分析句子结构可知,本句中没有连词,但是句中却有两个谓语动词(Have got和wash),不符合英语语法规则。“有衣服要洗”可用get sth. to do结构来表示,其中不定式应用主动形式表示被动意义。此句也可理解为“让衣服被洗”,应用get sth. done结构。some多用于肯定句中,any多用于否定句和疑问句中。本句可改为:Have you got any clothes to wash/washed?故句子表述不正确。
7. He like sing.
对 错
B
[解析] 当主语为第三人称单数时,谓语动词常用单数形式,所以主语He后面的谓语动词应用likes。另外,like后面常跟动词不定式或动名词作宾语,不可直接跟动词原形。本句可改为:He likes to sing/singing.故句子表述不正确。
8. True love is worth looking for and fighting for.
对 错
A
[解析] sth. be worth doing为固定用法,意为“某事值得做”,其中动名词用主动形式表示被动意义。look for(寻找……)与fight for(努力争取……,为……而斗争)均为固定搭配。故句子表述正确。
9. To sum extent, this kind of machine is more reliable.
对 错
B
[解析] to sum up为固定搭配,意为“总之”;to some extent为固定搭配,意为“在某种程度上”。没有to sum extent这一搭配。本句可改为:To some extent,this kind of machine is more reliable. 故句子表述不正确。
