5、p sb.busy doing sth.的被动结构。7.Jack isnt feeling _well this morning because he had _breakfast.A.too much;too muchB.much too;much tooC.much too;too muchD.too much;much too答案：C much too 为副词词组,用来修饰形容词或副词,意思是“太”；too much 为形容词词组,用来修饰不可数名词,意思是“太多的”。根据句子意思应选 C。8.Im Mr. Parker to you,and_you forget it!A.do B.d

7、y 构成动宾关系,应使用 see sth.done。10.Youd better,I think, _him a hand when necessary.A.give B.to give C.gave D.giving答案：A 句中的 I think 是插入语,分析句意时应忽略,整句结构为“Youd better do sth.”。11.She looks forward every spring to_ the flower lined garden.A.visit B.paying a visit C.walk in D.walking in答案：D 如果把 every spring 放到
8、句末就很容易看出 look forward to 这一考查意图。paying a visit 后需要跟介词 to。12.We are living in an age _many things are done on computer.A.which B.that C.whose D.when答案：D 本题考查定语从句 ,age 为先行词,in an age 作时间状语。所以,选择关系副词when。13.I would love_ to the party last night but I had to work extra hours to finish a report.A.to go B
9、.to have goneC.going D.having gone答案：B 从后半句“but I had to work extra hours to finish a report”可知,昨晚想去参加晚会但由于要加班没有去成。would love to have done sth.表示“本想去做而未做成”,would love to do表示目前的意愿及想法。14.On hearing the news,the young man rushed out, _the dictionary on the desk and disappeared into the distance.A.left
10、;lain open B.left;lay openC.leaving;lie opened D.leaving;lying open答案：D 现在分词短语 leaving.在句中作伴随状语,表示与谓语动词 rushed out 同时进行的动作。leave+宾语+宾补结构中,因 lie 和 book 是主动关系,故用 lying,后面的形容词 open表示状态。15.You are not allowed _the bike,for it needs_.A.using;repair B.to use;to repairC.to use;repairing D.using;to be repai
11、ring答案：C need+doing(主动形式表达被动意思)=need to be done。allow sb.to do sth.是固定结构,表示“允许某人干某事” 。.完形填空(30 分）A Fools Day falls on 1st of April.People 1 forget the significance(意义) of the day.In March 1980,I was 2 at Durham University with seven other Chinese students.I had 3 to go to another university after gr

18、答案。2.D 从本段可以看出,当时我正在 Durham University 学习。因为谈到我毕业后还申请了几个大学来进一步学习。3.B 从后文可以看出我每天都到传达室去等候来自其他大学的对我的申请表的答复,所以此处应该是我打算和计划毕业后再去深造。plan to do sth.意为“计划做某事”，而 manage to do sth.表示已经成功地做了某事。4.D send.to.向某处发送。从文中可以看出我向好几个大学发出了申请书。5.B 根据上一句中的“go to another university”和下文的“He told me that a letter had arrived i
19、n his office for you from Manchester University”可知答案。6.C reply 意为 “答复”。report 意思是“报道,报告”, 而 chance 的意思是“机会”,都不符合句意。7.D 从后面“with a toothbrush in his hand”和“I even didnt 13 my breakfast and rushed to Mr.Gs office”这两句可知是早饭。8.A still 意为“仍然,还” 。yet,already 常用于完成时态,yet 常用在疑问句和否定句中,不合题意。even 意为“甚至”, 表强调 ,但
20、本题没有此意。结合题意“他嘴里还有牙刷”,可知答案为still。 9.B as if.意为“ 好像,似乎 ”。A 项后面不能接句子；after 意为“ 在 之后” ；while 意为“当时候”, 都不符合当时情景 ,这个人似乎怕忘了这个重要的消息,所以他牙还没刷就来告诉我这个事情。10.A message 在此处作“ 口信”讲。sign 意为“ 迹象”；letter 意为“信”；notice 意为“布告,通知”,都不合题意。11.B as soon as“一就”,从属连词,在此处连接时间状语从句。其他选项不符合语境。12.C jump with joy 意为“ 兴高采烈,高兴得跳起来”,是固定
21、搭配。13.B finish 完成一般的事情,是个常用词,其搭配是 finish sth./doing sth.；complete 意为“完成完备”,指完成大的工程/项目时用。complete 还有补充完整的意思。14.B be in 意为“ 在这儿”, 此处作“在办公室里”讲。15.C 根据句法结构此处应用 explain 一词。explain 的用法是：explain sth.to sb.或 explain to sb.,而 tell 后常跟双宾语或复合宾语,即 tell sb.to do sth.或 tell sb.sth.。16.D an obvious place 指“显而易见的地方
22、”。17.B 形容人时常用-ed 结尾的形容词,而修饰物时常用-ing 结尾的形容词。18.D 从后句可知,她是没有锁上门。其他三项加上动词原形都表示动作已完成了。19.D suddenly=all of a sudden 突然。从后面“眼前一亮” 可知动作发生的较突然。20.C 根据题意,这个秘书是很兴奋的 ,所以此处选 brighten“眼前一亮”。.阅读理解(40 分）AThe Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past.The three-day event is not fixed to the same date

30、ainly tells readers_ .A.what happens on the opening day of the Sahara FestivalB.how people celebrate during the three-day Sahara FestivalC.what takes place at the closing ceremonies of the Sahara FestivalD.how animals race on the first and the last days of the Sahara Festival答案：1.C 本题属于细节题。 A 项明显不正确
31、,在文中的第一句即可印证。The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past.对此处的 past 有的同学不是十分熟悉,意思是history。D 项在原句中用原级和比较级的方式,侧重点在 but 转折的后面内容,It is well attended by tourists,but even better attended by locals.2.D 本题考对细节的分辨能力 ,仔细阅读上下文,弄清文中的两个时间段,一是开幕仪式,即 during the opening ceremonies,一系列上场人员和表演动物的次序,先
32、是政府官员致辞欢迎,骆驼和骑马表演,再之后是音乐家和舞蹈家上场；二是比赛的次序,文章倒数第二段是比赛场景的描写。而首先必须弄清楚的是本题的问题部分,Before the races begin,这样在掺杂在其他答案中的干扰项就一目了然了。3.C 本题的考点是猜测文中出现的生词,从选项上看是对时间的判断,在为期三天的 The Sahara Festival 的第一天,到傍晚活动进入到高潮,是令人激动的赛马比赛。作为本题判断的参照时间是 towards the evening 可对应 the last part。4.A 本题仍然是以时间为核心的考查点。要求能抓住文中所提供的 A 项开幕式那一天发生
33、的事,并非是 B 项中为期三天的所有的庆祝情况 ,C 项中闭幕式的活动和 D 项中动物的第一天和最后一天的比赛。BHe wishes the holiday season would end already.His back aches,his red suit feels like a spacesuit,his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hoursand still the kids keep coming and coming,like ants at a picnic.As Christmas becomes more com
34、mercialized(商业化）across the U.S.and Canada,so must Santas.As the holiday begins earlier each year,so must its spokesmen.The questions from children these days are harder than ever.Now,with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan,the questions are as heart-bre
35、aking as they are unanswerable.For example,“Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued(指控）.A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story:A Santa had a girl on his knee,and he commented,“You have nice eyes and
36、nice hair.”The girl later said it was sexual harassment(骚扰） .When a Santa feels anxious,he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do:The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended.Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and dont see other children
37、 again.5.In the first paragraph,“spokesmen” refers to _.A.businessmenB.political leadersC.organizers of the activitiesD.Santa Clauses6.The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is _.A.well-paidB.very hardC.worth doingD.dangerous7.According to the third paragraph,Santas may sometimes be blamed
38、for _.A.doing something against the lawB.hanging around the dinner tableC.being lazy and sleeping in bed for daysD.not playing their roles as expected8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Christmas;Not a Good Festival for SantasB.Is Santa Claus Really Alive?C.A Christmas StoryD.What Does
39、Santa Claus Do for Children?答案：5.D 本题考查在语境中猜测词义的技能。 spokesman 原意指“代言人” （someone who has been chosen to speak officially for a group,organization or government） 。这里spokesman 是指圣诞节日的形象大使,就是 Santa Clauses。从语境分析,so 是对上文所说的圣诞老人的扮演者艰辛的描写,文中的描写都与 A、B、C 三项的商人,政治领袖和活动的组织者无关,所以选 D 项。6.B 本题考查综合语篇获取信息的能力。第一段描写了
40、圣诞老人工作的艰辛,第二段说了现在的圣诞老人难以回答孩子们提出的问题,第三段讲,做圣诞老人还会受到女孩的莫名其妙的指控。文中没有提到 well-paid 的事,也没有评论 worth doing还是 not worth doing;工作虽有难处,但也没有到 dangerous 的程度。所以,B 项为最佳选项。 7.A 第三段的第一句中就说了： Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued.sue 的英文释意是 to make a legal claim against sb.汉语就是“诉讼” 。整句的意思是：圣诞老人还有相当大受指控
41、的可能性。接着,短文列举了一个例子。说一个女孩指控圣诞老人性骚扰。所以 A 为最佳选项。8.A 选项 B 不合文意,因为短文通篇讲的是扮演圣诞老人遇到的事,根本不是圣诞老人活着不活着的问题。选项 C 的题目太空太广 ,对此篇短文来说没有针对性,圣诞节的故事有很多很多。这个题目冠在任何有关圣诞节的故事之前都似乎可以。选项 D 的题目偏离短文内容。短文并没有说圣诞老人为孩子们做了哪些事。选项 A 把圣诞老人扮演者的感受说出来了,正与文章说的圣诞老人遇到不快这事相吻合,所以应选 A。CHalloweenHistory experts say Halloween goes back more than
