A 考查主语从句。whether“是否”；when“ 当时候 ”；which“ 哪一个”；where“ 哪儿”。句意：旧车站是否要被现代化的酒店所代替仍在讨论中。根据句意可知选 A 项。2. D 考查 that
14、在主语从句中的用法，其中 it 是形式主语。that 在名词性从句中不充当成分，只起连接作用。3. D 考查交际用语。congratulations “祝贺”。句意：“下个月约翰和我要庆祝我们结婚四十周年。 ”“噢，祝贺你们！”cheer up “振奋起来”；well done “干得好”；go ahead “干吧”。4. A block out 的含义是“挡住，遮住(光线和声音)”；take in 的含义是“吸收，接纳”；put off 的含义是“ 推迟” ；give away 的含义是“ 赠送，泄露 ”。由 shadows 和 some sunlight可知应用 blocked out。5
15、. B 由句子结构可知，空格处与 well go climbing tomorrow 一起作句子的主语，是主语从句。分析句意可知，C 、D 两项不符合句意；if 一般不用来引导主语从句；whether 引导主语从句时可置于句首。6. C 句中 is 前面的部分为主语从句，从句中含有“have.in common”短语，因此前一空格中的词应引导主语从句并作 have 的宾语；后一空格中的连词引导表语从句，从句中succeeded 为不及物动词，因此该连词不充当句子成分。that 引导名词性从句时不在从句中充当句子成分。7. B 主语从句要用陈述语序，由此排除 A 项和 C 项； plan 和 c
16、arry out 之间存在被动关系，应用“be过去分词”的形式，而 D 项中没有 be 动词，排除 D 项。只有 B 项符合这两点。8. C news 是不可数名词，由此排除 A 项和 B 项；再由形式主语用 it 不用 this 可确定答案为 C 项。9. C 由于空后的 we need more practice 是一个完整的句子，不缺少任何成分，排除when 和 what；主语从句必须有引导词，排除 D 项。因此应该用 that 来引导该主语从句。10. B 由空后的 or refuse it 可知此处考查句式 Whether.or.。三、 1. Whoever will meet hi
17、m 2. Which class will win the football match 3. Whether he can buy the tickets 4. Where we will go 5. What you told me just now 6. When he will go abroad 7. Why he is crying 8. that he is a beggar 9. Who/Whom you will invite 10. Where we will hold the basketball match四、 1.C 通读全文，特别是由短文最后一句可知亚历山大弗莱明是
18、去贝尔法斯特作演讲。give a lecture 的意思是“ 发表演讲，作讲座” ；have a lecture 的意思是“听演讲，听讲座”；attend 和 hear 与 lecture 搭配，均没有“作演讲”之意。2B there 在此指上句中的 Belfast。3B 本句并非表达他在机场 “停住”“停留”或“参观”，句意是“当他到达机场后，发现机票被订购一空” 。最佳答案为 arrived。stop“ 停止”；arrive“到达”；stay“停留”；visit“参观，拜访”。4A 本来已经预订好了机票，可到那儿后却发现他和其他一些乘客都无座位，这使他感到惊讶。这一异常情况为下文作了铺垫。
19、surprised“ 吃惊的”；excited“激动的”；frightened“害怕的” ；disappointing“令人失望的”。5D some 意为“一些”，可以作代词，也可修饰名词。 several 意为“几个”，修饰可数名词；other 意为 “其他的”，是形容词，修饰复数名词；others 为代词，不能修饰名词。由上下文可知 other 为正确答案。6C 机场的管理人员非常抱歉，并对亚历山大 弗莱明和其他乘客作了解释。insist“坚持”；prove“证明” ；explain“解释”；declare “宣布 ”。7B 因为亚历山大弗莱明是想乘飞机去作演讲，要选的答案应该与飞机有关。
20、四个选项中只有 seats 可以表示去贝尔法斯特的机票座位，而其他三个选项与文意无关。8D 结合本文语境，上下对照，可知这里选与政府要员相对的“普通”乘客。people“人们”；officer“官员”；official“官员”；passenger “乘客”。9C throw off 意为“摆脱掉，扔掉”，为固定搭配，此处指普通乘客不能乘坐本次班机。10B 介词 for 后跟一段时间，通常和现在完成时连用。11A 一个多月前他就买了机票，但现在却没有座位，不能乘机，而政府要员刚买上票就可以乘飞机，这简直太不公平了。 fair 意为 “公正的，公平的” ；right“ 对的” ；true“真实的”
21、； satisfactory“令人满意的 ”。12C 从本文末尾句的“Sir Alexander Fleming is giving a lecture in Belfast tonight”，可知亚历山大弗莱明必须今天到达贝尔法斯特。13A all 作 the government passengers 的同位语，进一步强调政府官员的重要性。14C 既然政府要员们有优先权，那么让他们乘坐下班飞机是不可能的。reasonable“合情合理的” ；funny“ 有趣的，可笑的”；impossible“不可能的”；unnecessary“ 没有必要的”。15B after 引导时间状语，意思是 “
22、在之后”；as 引导时间状语从句，意思是“当的时候 ”；because 意思是“ 因为”，引导原因状语从句； then 为副词，意为 “在那时”。16D consider 的意思是“ 考虑”；discuss 的意思是“讨论”；describe 的意思是“描绘”；demand 的意思是“ 询问”。根据句意应选择 demand，表示亚历山大 弗莱明想询问政府官员们的重要事情是什么。17C so.that 是固定结构，表示“如此以至于”。本题的关键在于前面的so。now that 意为“ 既然” 。18D ought to 意为“ 应当”，语气比较强烈；should 表示 “应该”，语气较弱；must 强调主观上“必须，一定” ；have to 强调客观上的“必须，不得不，只好” 。本题强调了客观条件的限制，因此答案为 have to。19B a matter of great urgency 意为“ 非常紧急的事情”。20C lose 意为“ 丢失( 东西)”。miss 意思是“ 丢失，迷路，想念，错过”，这里指“ 我们不能错过听这次讲座”。
