答案与解析：
A
1．C. 根据上文的retire可知，他想离开自己的工作，故选C项leave。
2．A.。leisurely悠闲的，慢悠悠的；lonely孤独的；orderly有秩序的，有条理的；friendly友好的。根据常识可知，人们退休了以后，生活常是悠闲的，故选A项。
3．C. 退休了以后，老人可以更好的享受家庭的乐趣，选C项enjoy最佳。
4．B. go off开火、爆炸，（电灯等）熄灭；get by维持生计，设法过活；pass on转交，递给；work away连续不停地工作。根据前面的extended family和miss the paycheck可推知，老人生活上悠闲，但没有了工资，生活可能不如以前宽松，但他们能设法维持，故选B项。
5．D. 根据上文retire和下文的his good worker，作为老板，自己的好员工要走了，自然惋惜，故选D项sorry是符合情理的。
6．A. 从下文得知，老木匠的最后一座房子造的很不好，是因为他不用心。所以此处表示转折，选A项but，意为“他虽然答应了，但并不用心工作”。注意while是并列连词，表示前后对比，而非转折。
7．B. 根据前文的bad workmanship和下文可知，老木匠用的建筑材料是劣质的，故inferior正确。
8．D. 根据前文的retire、go和asked if he could build just one more house可知，这是老木匠为老板建造的最后一座房子，是他一生事业的结束，故选D项end。
9．C. 作为老板，自己让人建设的房子完工了，自然来查看一下。下文也提到他并非来购买、出售或修理房子，排除了其他选项。
10．C. 从下文的If he had only known he was building his own house可以看出，老板把刚刚建设的房子作为礼物（gift）送给了老木匠，应该给他房门钥匙，故A项key正确。
11．A. 根据上下文可知，这是老板给老木匠的礼物，以表示感谢。
12．B. 根据上文的shock和下句If he had only known he was building his own house, he would
have done it all so differently可知，老木匠为自己做的蠢事感到羞耻、后悔，故选B项shame正确。
13．A. “So it is with sb.”是一常见句型，意为“……也如此”。注意此题易错选as，误认为是定语从句。As可以引导定语从句，但注意是此句末的标点是句号，因此缺少先行词，无法构成定语从句。其他两选项意思、结构均不正确。
14．D. 根据文意，作者在向我们阐述一个道理，我们的生活也象老木匠建房子一样，没有投入全身心，即用的努力少（less），因此，选D项符合文意。
15．A. 根据上下文，开始我们没有觉察，但后来当我们认识到自己的愚蠢行为时，为时已晚。所以，此处选择realize 是正确的。
16．B. 根据上文If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.和But可知，我们虽认识到错误，但有些事情是无法重新再做一遍的。Step forward自告奋勇；go back回到、重新再来；come out（太阳、星星……）出现；look around环视、环顾。四个词组中只有go back有此意。
17．C. 根据下文可知，作者在引用某人（曾经说过）的话，所以用副词once最合适。其他选项与文意不符。18．A. 根据上文，老木匠既有经验，技艺也高超，但态度不端正犯了大错。因此，一个人做事的态度决定结果，故选attitude是正确的。
19．D. Make a choice/ choices是常见的搭配，意为“作出选择”。
20．B. 根据最后一段和上文中的therefore可知，作者是在告戒读者：我们既然明白了这个道理，“建造自己的房子时”就明智些吧！所以wisely正确。
B
1. A estimate意为“据估计”，suggest为“建议、暗示”，inform是“通知、告知”，因死亡数据只是一个大概数据，故应用A。
2. B 此外应缺少名词，故排除D项，A、C项词形错误，故应选B项effects。
3. D increasing 正在增加，为进行时态。
4. C die from 强调外因，die of强调内因。
5. A in 与数字或数量连用，表示比例，意思为
6. B currently 为副词，为时下，当下之意“每”。
7. B cause 为导致某事结果的直接诱因，reason 指说明某事的理由，excuse 为借口，result为结果。
8. C link to 与…有关，分词短语作后置定语，connected to 是两物相连接的，相连的。
9. D It+be+adj+to do 为固定句型，stop to do 是停下来去做另一件事。Stop doing 是停止当前的事。
10.B do 表强调，有现在时态和过去时态，在肯定句中进行强调，后加动词原形。
11.C who 为特殊疑问句，引导定语从句，
12.D 此处缺少形容词，故用successful
13.B include doing sth ，attend 为参加一些自助活动，而并非组织活动，故排除D项。
14.A attending or following为并列关系，follow directions为按照说明去做。
15.C be worth doing 为固定短语，意为“尝试”语意好于“doing”
16.B where 引导定语从句，先行词是areas，在从句中担任地点状语。
17.B instead of代替，而不是，instead是相反之意。
18.B the sooner……the more越早越。强调终止吸烟的时间。
19.A return返回，回来，血压回到正常。back为副词，其它语意不符。
20.C that（特定的）那一类、那一个，it特指同一个，one泛指同一类。
C
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己晚上在黑暗中找灯这件小事，想到世上人人都可能处于“黑暗”之中，如果我们都能用自己的“爱心”之灯去温暖他人，世界将变的更加美好。
1．D. 根据上文晚上头顶的灯坏了，可知我找寻钥匙孔有困难，故选D. difficult。
2．A. 根据下文可知，“我”已经把门打开。Manage to do sth. 表成功地做某事。
3．B. 根据文意可知，由于晚上没有灯，“我”只好摸索前进，只有felt表此意。
4．D. 根据“but no switch”可以推知，“我”认为那里曾经安装了开关，因此在那里摸索，结果并没有，只有once 能表示此意。
5．C. 上文提到这是一个旅馆，自己是暂时住到这里，排除了A项。从下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知C项正确，注意spot此处意为“注意到，看到，发现”。
6．B. 从上文remembered可知，“我”在那天早些时候发现有开关，现在仍然记得，故选B。
7．B. 因为是晚上，所以选择dark。
8．A. 根据文意排除了C、D。句子的主语是nothing而非lamp，故动词operated不正确。因此，只有A项正确。9．B. 根据文意和下文curtains可推知，“我”现在处在黑暗中，只能拉开窗帘，靠外部街道上的光来找到另一盏灯，故选B。
10．C. 根据文意和下文slowly across the room可知，“我”现在摸索着去拉窗帘。Make one?s way意为“前往，到……
去”，符合文意。
11．B. 根据文意和下文actually可知，我最终找到了灯，故选until。
12．C. 根据主语a desk lamp和副词actually可知，这盏灯亮了。此意只有work可以表达。
13．A. 根据文意，“我”此时心有所感，世界有时是多么黑暗，而灯是如此必要！can可以表示“有时会……，时而可能”，故选A项。
14．D. 根据文意和下句the light that shines from people可知，人们“内心的灯光”比实际的灯光更有必要。Physical 在此意为“物质的，有形的”。
15．B. 由文意可知，我们心中应该有“爱和信任”之灯，才能战胜discouragement、sadness、fear，故选love。16．A. 由文意和dark可知，有时我们中许多人会处在黑暗和孤独的世界，故选lonely。
17．D. 由文意可知，当人们失望、难过和害怕时会需要帮助，因此选D项need。
18．B. 由上文So let your light shine.可知，作者在鼓励我们要主动去帮助别人，故选B。
19．C. 细心揣摩文意可知，我们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小，好象是森林中的一只蜡烛，故选no more than正确。
20．A. 由文意可知，黑暗再强大，也没有足够的力量扑灭小如蜡烛的“爱心之灯”，故选A项put out最佳。

Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___9___ your own need or desires.

答案与解析
A
本文是叙述怎样写求职信。
1. A。表示“清楚地”说明你想要找的工作。
2. B。根据前面“你的能力是什么”，可知后面是“你已经…做?了些什么工作”。
3. C。根据后面的any necessary facts 判断，不要“遗漏”任何必要的事实。
4. D。keep in mind 是固定短语，意思是“记住”。
5. C。表示可能，后面跟不定式只能用likely，其余选项都不正确。
6. D。根据下文的主句判断，前面是条件句，因此选if。
7. B。从后面主句中the rest of the letter may not be… 可得出答案，如果前面的一些句子不能“赢得”读者的注意的
话。
8. D。根据上文，如果起初几句话不能引起读者注意的话，其余部分就可能不会再“读”了。
9. A。根据前面两个to 得出答案。
10. A。因为是应聘者，所以在报纸上看到的是“广告”。
11. C。根据上文，应聘者是从报纸上看到的招聘广告，经过“研究”之后才来应聘的。
12. D。根据后面的product(产品)判断应是“使用”。

本文是根据美国著名作家(Mark Twain)马克?吐温的故事改编的一篇记叙文。故事讲述的是“一块精美、走时准确手表最终成为废物”的全过程。选项设计上侧重训练学生的英语语感和词义辨析能力。
1．C for certain“无疑地，确定地”，是一个固定用法，相当于without doubt, for sure；for certainty应为for a certainty 才对。
2．A keep time“走时准确”，是习惯用法，tell time“报时”，observe time “守时”，strike表“鸣钟”时，常用结构为“strike the hours（每小时报时一次）; strike 12这种刚敲12点”。
3．B wind sth. up“上（钟或表）的弦；上发条”。
4．D set a clock / watch “对钟；对表；将闹钟等定时”。
5．A as用来引导表原因的状语从句。
6．D 从上文中的be pushed up得知，手表的时间慢了四分钟，而不是快了四分钟。
7．C make sB．do sth. / get sB．to do sth. “使某人做某事”，此题之后接了省to的不定式understand，所以用make。8．A （指钟表）快(慢)于正确的时间，常用gain或lose。如：This watch neither gains nor loses.这表不快也不慢。
go只表示“钟表在走（时）”。
9．B leave sth. far behind“使某事处于落后状态”，A、C、D都是不及物动词。
10．C 表转折，意为：我原指望他迅速将表校对，可是他要我一周后才来拿。However是副词，常用逗号隔开。11．C slow作动词，slow down“减慢速度”。
12．A 通过上下文得知作者已经去过了两个修表匠，现在要去第三个修表匠那儿。
13．B took sth. to pieces “拆开，拆散”，在这里指把表拆成零碎。broke“打碎”；tore“撕毁”；cut“切碎”。14．D 介词in表示“从当时算起再过多长时间”。
15．B but前有实义动词do时，but后要接省to的动词不定式。
16．A keep(on)doing sth., 意为“不停地做……”。taking “拿去”；bringing“拿来”；fetching“去拿来”；carrying“提起，拿起”，无方向性。
17．B tell the time 指“能够看懂钟表上的时间；看钟表等而说出时间”。不要受中文影响而错用understand。18．D get 是连系动词，其后要接形容词作表语，可排除A、C，再从逻辑上分析，可排除B项。
19．C cost表示“某物花费多少钱”，有“等价交换”之意。
20．A another表示“另一个（与之不同的一个）”；the other表“两个当中的另一个”；one表“数量（一个）”；one more“买了一个不够，还要再买一个”。
C
本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，故事生动、感人，极富吸引力。
1．B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现，看出”。2．A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。3．D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。
4．A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。
5．A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。
6．B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。
7．B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘（土），挖”；
dig through“（为找……）在……里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” dig into“钻研”。
8．D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。
9．C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用Come, Come,代替。
10．D 从词义上判断one line“一句话（台词）”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确的。
11．A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；
to oneself 对（着）自己。
12．C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living ，alive 。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I can?t believe my first teacher is still living。
alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。
13．D “在第3小时的时候，……”，序数词之前要用定冠词。
14．B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “（各种）声音” ；voice “（人们说话的）嗓音” noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音”；
tone“（人们说话的）语气，语调”。
15．B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would +动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
16．A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。
17．C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are … left. “还有……剩余下来”。
18．C 14 …out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left 没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。
19．D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room; make space 意为“（有意识地）为……
腾出空间”。
20．A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。
