27、的状语。4A 考查动词用法。根据答语“不，正相反，我认为它非常有必要” ，可知 bring up这一动作已发生，故选 A。regret doing 表示后悔/遗憾做过 (已经做过了)；regret to do 表示遗憾地要做 (还未做)。5B 考查副词辨析。therefore 因此，所以。otherwise 否则，要不然；however 然而，可是；somehow 以方式，不知怎么地。6D 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意为：如今每个人都应担负起构建和谐中国的责任。make up 表示“弥补” ；take up 表示“占据，从事” ；open up 表示“开放，开辟” ；build up 表示“使强
28、壮，建造” 。7A 考查动词辨析。expand 不仅指尺寸的增加，还可指范围和体积的扩大。stretch一般指由曲变直、由短变长的伸展；extend 指空间范围的扩大或长宽的向外延伸，也可指时间的延长；spread 一般指向四面八方扩大或传播。8B 考查过去分词作定语。修饰 spacecraft，表示被动和完成。句意为：中国成功地发射神舟七号飞船，飞船上配备着精密的科技装置。9A 考查虚拟语气。由下文的 could have done 来看，这里使用的是虚拟语气，四个选项中只有 but for (要不是)有这种方法。10C 考查 rid.of。rid.of 表示“摆脱，除去” 。句意为：如果我
29、统治世界的话，我将除去世界上所有丑恶的东西。11C 考查动词词义辨析。句意为：有时候自然界的平衡受到了扰乱，导致了很多未能预见的后果。confused 和 puzzled 表示“困惑不解的，迷惑的” ；troubled 表示“麻烦的，不安的” ；而 disturbed 表示“扰乱的，干扰的” 。12A it couldnt be better 为比较级的否定形式表最高级，意为没有比这更好的了。13C 考查倍数表达法。表达倍数时应把表示倍数的词放在比较级的最前面，由此可判断此项正确，此处是“倍数词比较级than”结构。14D 题意是“当他遇到这个使人困惑的难题时，他脸上露出了困惑的表情” 。15
30、C lead to 导致，后接名词或动名词，可排除 B 项；又因此处表示“鱼被杀” ，可排除 D 项。A 项现在分词的完成时，表示已发生的动作，显然不合题意。正确的说法是：lots of fish being killed，故选 C 项。.阅读理解【语篇解读】 生活中几乎没有东西比责任更重要，更能够帮助别人，并让别人觉得你信任他。作者通过介绍美国人教育孩子的方式来论证这个道理并指出中国的年轻人也开始追求独立。1B 写作意图推断题。文中第二段中的“In America，families are close but children are encouraged to be independent
31、”和第四段中的 “Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence.”都向我们讲述了孩子追求独立的问题，因此我们可以推知文章的目的。2B 推理判断题。从文中第二段中的“Its not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance (津贴) every week.The child is encouraged to save some of the money but h
32、e or she can spend it on whatever they choose，for example，buying clothes，school supplies or CDs.”可知美国大部分的孩子都有自己的零花钱，他们可以用这些钱去购买自己需要的东西，这样可以培养他们的理财能力。3D 推理判断题。文中第四段通过 Li Yuchun 的例子讲述了中国孩子的追求独立的想法。从“She was not the traditional nice，young Chinese girl ”和“she was telling everyone that she was different.
33、”我们可知 D 是正确答案。其余选项的说法不合理。4D 主旨大意题。文章前面讲述了美国孩子和中国孩子追求独立的情况，文章的最后一段作者就这一问题提出了自己的建议，告诉我们怎么样才能实现我们的理想。5D 主旨大意题。本文作者主要就该不该对枪支实施管制发表意见。6C 推理判断题。从最后一段的第一句“.if the possesion of guns is controlled more strictly，people can live safer lives than now”可知答案。7A 事实细节题。文章第一段就提到“the increasing number of murders”故选A。8B 推理判断题。从第二段中“Other weapons such as knives，razors，bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reasonto kill someone”可推断出答案。.短文填词1which 2.expensive 3.only 4.at 5.usual 6.noticed 7.surprise 8.corner 9.continue 10such
