  1.I'm wondering why he hasn't turned _____ at the meeting. 参考答案为:B

  A.down

  B.up

  C.out

  D.over

  [解析]本小题主要考查词组的搭配,turn up 是出现的意思。在学习的过程中要注意一些动词与介词的搭配,尤其像turn, set, break, get , put, take,bring, cut等词与不同的介词的搭配的意义。

  A.that

  B.if

  C.when

  D.whether

  [解析]本题的考点是that引导的同位语从句,一般同位语从句的先行词包括:thought,fact, belief, idea, doubt, evidence等。因此看到先行词是这样的一些词,一般可以判断是同位语从句由that引导。

  4._____, Mary went out with delight. 参考答案为:B

  A.With her homework doing

  B.With her homework done

  C.Her homework was done

  D.Done her homework

  [解析]本题主要考查分词的独立结构。有很多同学做这个句子时可能会选择C,把这个句子看作是一个从句。但是大家要注意的是:如果选择C的话,那么这个句子就有两个单句组成,而这两个单句之间没有连接词,因此不是并列句,也不是复合句,那这个句子就是错误的,因此不能选C。这个句子是with+名词+过去分词独立结构做状语。因为do的动作不是homework发出的,因此用过去分词而不用现在分词,所以选B。

  5. Contrary ______ popular belief, moderate exercise actually decreases your appetite. 参考答案为:D

  A.on

  C.against

  D.to

  三,阅读理解

  Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on ― but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

  By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.

  Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.

  In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism (纳粹主义) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

  21.The first paragraph is mainly about _____.

  A.a new outlook of the universe

  B.the feelings of an American college president

  C.the change in human thought caused by Einstein

  D.the difficulty in teaching Einstein's theory

  解:C [解析]本题是主旨题 第一段的主题句是第一句“Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history”表明爱因斯坦对科学和历史都有极大的影响,而第二句说明了爱因斯坦使人们对世界观,对宇宙有了一个新的认识。因此选项为C。

  22. From the second paragraph, we know Albert Einstein ____.

  A.enjoyed world popularity

  B.was the head of an academy

  C.was a famous teacher

  D.enjoyed studying wars

  解:A [解析]本题是细节题 依据是第二段第一句话“By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame.”选项中A.enjoyed world popularity 符合题义。Popularity的意思与fame 的意思相似。

  23. Which of the following statements about Einstein is true?

  A.He achieved more than any other scientists in history.

  B.Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.

  C.He kept working until peace came in 1918.

  D.His research practically stopped during the First World War.

  解:D [解析]本题是细节题 本题可以用排除法,本题的依据是第三段。第三段表明爱因斯坦深受战争的影响“he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research ”而且最后一句“Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work...”也表明爱因斯坦在第一次世界大战期间研究工作实际上是停止了。因此选D。

  24. In the years following the First World War,_____.

  A.Einstein began to be accepted even by ordinary men

  B.more and more honors were granted to Einstein

  C.Einstein became the head of the Prussian Academy of Science

  D.Einstein was not honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism

  解:B [解析]本题是细节题,要用排除法 ,本题的依据是最后一段的第一句话“In the years following the First World War , honors were increasingly heaped on him.” Heap的意思就是“成堆,很多”和 “more and more”是近义词。

  25. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.

  A.Albert Einstein was interested in nothing but science

  B.Einstein was forced to serve in the German army

  C.Einstein made a lot more breakthroughs in his research after the First World War

  D.his reputation was ruined because of Nazism

  解:C [解析]本题是推理题

  Could you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa. Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own. We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways ― and with different motives.

  In many countries, marriage is a practical matter. A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife. It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy. Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.

  Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals. Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple. In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.

  In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing. The money is meant to bring kick and to help the young couple build their new life. In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home. Once they move in, they take good care of the tree and make it grow. The planting of the tree is a good metaphor (比喻) for marriage. A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.

  26. Which of the following statements DOES NOT support the idea that marriage is a practical matter?

  A.The couple may have a safe and stable home through their marriage.

  B.The parents had better help their children choose whom to marry.

  C.A marriage benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.

  D.A marriage brings children who will take care of the couple when they are old.

  解:B [解析]本题是细节题本题的主要依据是第二段,第二段的主题句是第一句“In many countries,marriage is a practical matter.”而A、C、D是developing sentences是用来支持主题句的。而B是一个结果。

  27. The word “rituals” (para.3, line 2) means _____.

  A.forms

  B.customs

  C.traditions

  D.ceremonies

  解:D [解析]本题是词义题ritual的意思是“典礼、仪式”与ceremony意思相同

  28. In a typical Western wedding, the bride wears something blue to ________.

  A.seek good luck

  B.represent the past

  C.represent success in the future

  D.remind her to be true to her husband

  解:D [解析]本题是细节题主要依据是第三段“And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband”

  29. Although cultures differ in different countries, one thing in common when a young couple gets married is that _____.

  A.people wish them to take care of each other

  B.people wish them to get practical benefits from the marriage

  C.people wish them to have good luck in their new life

  D.people wish them to make money at the wedding ceremony

  解:C [解析]本题是细节题依据是第三段的第二句话“Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple”。

  30. Which of the following statements best summarizes the subject of this passage?

  A.People across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.

  B.Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the young couple.

  C.A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.

  D.In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.

  解:A [解析]本题是主旨题本题的主要依据是第一段的倒数第二句和最后一句话。主旨题经常从第一段的第一句或最后一句找答案。

  56. It was imperative that students ______ (finish) their papers before July 1st.

  解:finish [解析]本题主要考查虚拟语气的用法。在It is+形容词+that从句中,从句的谓语动词应该用虚拟语气,形式是(should)+动词原形。这些形容词包括: mperative,desirable,necessary,essential,natural,important,advisable等。

  57. So far, Irving ____ (live) in New York City for ten years.

  解:has been living [解析]本题主要考查时态“现在完成进行时”,判断的关键是:so far, for ten years,从这两个时间状语就可以判断出该句的谓语动词live 应该用现在完成进行时,一般情况下句子中如果有:so far,up to now, over the past …years, in the last … years,for,since,already等一些词语,那么谓语动词就经常用现在完成时或现在完成进行时。现在完成时和现在完成进行时的区别是:现在完成进行时用来表示从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在的动作,这个动作可能刚刚结束,或者可能要继续进行下去;而现在完成时不表示动作的延续性。

  58. The patient _____ (send) to another hospital before we got there.

  解:must be sent [解析]本题考查过去完成时的被动语态 主句的谓语动词send这个动作发生在从句get这个动作之前,因为从句的谓语动词用了过去时got因此主句的谓语动词是过去的过去,因此要用过去完成时。

  59. The __________ (far) away we get from the earth, the thinner the air becomes.

  解:farther [解析]本题考查形容词的比较级的一种句式“the+形容词比较级,the+形容词比较级”表示“越…越….”,另外要注意far的比较级有两种形式一种是farther,一种是further,farther表示“更远”而further表示“进一步”因此本题应该填farther。

  60. With apples at 25 cents a pound, we couldn't resist ____ (take) four pounds.

  解:taking [解析]本题主要考查resist后面接动名词作宾语。

  61. Coffee delays the body clock in the morning,and _____ (advance) it at night.

  解:advances [解析]本题主要考查时态,因为这个句子有两个谓语,一个是delay, 一个是advance,这两个谓语由and连接,delays是一般现在时,因此advance也应该用一般现在时,所以答案是advances。

  62. When ________ (give) the chance, it is quite possible for him to fulfill the task within ten days.

  解:given [解析]本题主要考查过去分词做状语。

  63. I'll be only too pleased ______ (help) out those who are in difficulty.

  解:to help [解析]本题主要考查too… to+动词原形 结构

  64. Television is another major instrument of communication, ____ (permit) us to see as well as to hear the performer.

  解:permitting [解析]本题主要考查现在分词作状语。

  65. It is high time that we _____ (take) firm measures to protect our environment.

  解:took

  [解析]本题主要考查虚拟语气形式,在It is high time that 从句结构中从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气,形式是过去时,因此用took的形式。

  五,汉译英

  66. 我工作了一整天,所以你来看我时,我很疲倦。

  答:I was very tired when you came to see me because I had worked all day along.

  [解析]本题在翻译的时候要注意结构,另外注意“我很疲倦”这个句子是主系表结构,“疲倦”用tired表示,而tired是形容词,很多同学翻译时忽视了这个问题,因此翻成了“I tired”这就把系动词丢掉了。

  67. 高薪和福利都不能取悦工人们。

  答:High salary/wage and welfare can not make workers happy.

  [解析]这道题就是单句,结构比较简单,但是有的同学不知道“福利”用英语怎么表示,因此造成了障碍。

  68.我更喜欢住在乡村,因为那里空气污染不太严重。

  答:I prefer to live in the countryside in that/because the air is not seriously polluted.

  [解析] 这道题主要考查prefer to do sth.(更喜欢…)的用法, 还有in that 或because 引导原因状语从句的用法。

  69.每个人都可以培养自己的兴趣。

  答:Everyone can take to his (her) interests.

  [解析]这个句子主要考查take to的用法。

  70.绝大多数医学上的重大进步都是建立在动物研究基础上的。

  答:Most of the major medical advances have been based on animal research.

  [解析]这个句子考查被动语态以及 be based on的用法。

  六,英译汉

  Some animals that cannot see can still tell the difference between light and darkness, while others can react to chemicals, which is something like smelling and tasting. However, there may be a sense that we know nothing about, for otherwise it is very hard to explain how birds, animals and even insects and fish manage to travel long distances without losing their way.

  Only man can tell his companions exactly what he wants, for he has the wonderful gift of speech; but many of the larger animals can show that they are hungry or frightened or pleased by making sounds that we have learned to recognize, such as a roar. Even man still uses animal-like sounds when he laughs or sighs.

  Some animals can get further than these simple noises. For instance, a bird song is much more elaborate, for it tells other males to keep away, while at the same time inviting a female to come closer. Birds have other calls which warn of danger or help to keep the flock (鸟群) together. Of course, a parrot does not understand what it is saying when it imitates the human voice.

  答:一些没有视觉的动物,仍能辨别出光线和黑暗的不同,而其它一些动物能对化学物质做出反应,就如同有味觉和嗅觉一样。然而,一定存在一种我们不知道的感觉。因为如果不是这样的话,就很难解释为什么鸟、动物甚至昆虫和鱼能旅行很长的距离而不迷路。

  只有人能确切地告诉他的同伴他想要什么,因为人有奇妙的语言天赋,但是许多大一些的动物能够发出我们已经学会辨别的声音如吼叫来表达它们的饥饿、受惊或高兴。甚至人类在笑或叹息的时候仍然使用像动物的声音。一些动物能发出比这些简单的声音更复杂的声音,例如,鸟儿的歌声就更复杂精细,因为它能告诉其它雄性鸟离开,同时邀请雌性鸟儿靠近。鸟儿有时发出声音警告危险或使鸟群紧密结合。当然,当鹦鹉模仿人发声的时候并不理解其中的含义。
