29、8ruined/damaged/destroyed 9.civilization 10.wealthy.1.A 句意：你认为如果经理退休了谁将接管这个公司？ take over 接收，接管；take off 起飞，离开； take in 领会，理解；take on 呈现，雇用。2B 表示某人的确如此用“so主语助动词”结构；表示后者与前者情况相同，则用“so系动词 、助动词、情态动词另一主语”结构，因此 B 项正确。3A 句意：李白作为诗人而出名，他因他的 诗闻名。be famous as 作为而出名；be known for 因 而出名。4B civilization 作为“文明社会，文明世
30、界 ”讲时 ，为不可数名词，根据句意此处即为此意，所以 A 项错误。 C、D 项均为形容 词。5C 句意：你听说过有关最近选举的事情了吗？当然，这已经成为最近三天报道的唯一话题。根据时间状语“for the last three days”可知此处用现在完成时，故答案为 C。for the last three days 是本题的关键信息，它多与现在完成时连用。6D 考查由副词 there 引起的倒装句。句意：约翰打开门。那儿站着一个他从没有见过的女孩。当 here，there，thus，then 等副词 位于句首，且当句子的主语是名词时，句子用全部倒装。所以 D 项为正确答案。7A 句意：该

32、的现在进行时在此表示按计划将要发生的动作。11A 表示方向的副词 up 前置，句子 谓语动词为 jump，但句子主语为人称代词，所以句子主谓不倒装，故本题选 A。12C remains 意为：剩余物，遗迹。第二空考 查 bury 充当宾语补足语，与宾语 buildings 为被动关系。13B 句意：你的峨眉山之行如何？除了路上车抛锚了两次，一切都很顺利。break down 出故障， (车) 抛锚，符合语境。 slow down 慢下来；get down 下来，写下；put down 镇压，写下。14A 句意：上个月我们去法国度假了，那儿的坏天气彻底毁了我们的假期。ruin 在此指 毁坏美好的
33、事物。damage 损坏，一般指破坏具体的事物，且损坏程度较轻；harm 伤害；cover 覆盖，报道。15A 句意：九寨沟非常美，每年都有很多游客涌来欣赏它的美景。pour in涌入，符合句意及句子结构的要求，in 在此为副词。pour into 涌入，into 为介词，其后要接宾语；reach 作“ 到达”解时，为及物动词，其后要接宾语；reach out 伸出，与句意不符。.【语篇解读】 本文通过对“Sunday driver”的描述，反映了作者对旧日美好时光的怀念，表达了作者 对现在人们紧张生活的看法。1B 细节理解题。从文章第一段的内容可知， “Sunday driver”指的就是那
