考前冲刺卷(五)

第一卷（选择题满分85分）

第一部分听力(略)

第二部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

第一节单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

21．—Now，where is my package?

—________ We’ll be late for the train.

A．Come on! B．Forget it!

C．Don’t worry. D．Who knows?

答案 A

解析句意为：——现在，我的行李在哪里？——快点。我们要赶不上火车了。Come on！

快点，符合语境。Forget it！算了吧；Don’t worry.不用担心；Who knows？谁知道呢？22．Everyone should learn something about first aid，for every second will ________ in an emergency.

A．play B．count

C．happen D．show

答案 B

解析句意为：每个人都应该学点急救知识，因为在紧急情况下每一秒都很重要。play 玩；count起关键作用；happen发生；show展示。

23．Will you see to ________ that the luggage is brought back?

A．me B．yourself

C．it D．them

答案 C

解析see to it that...确保，务使……。it作形式宾语，that引导的从句作真正的宾语。24．We tried to ring you back，Bryan，but we think we ________ your number incorrectly.

A．looked up B．got through

C．took down D．worked out

答案 C

解析句意为：我们努力给你打电话，Bryan，但我们想我们写错了你的电话号码。look up查阅；get through接通；take down写下；work out计算出。

25．—We were surprised to hear that the reason________ she gave for her absence was________ her mother was ill.

—Yes，we saw her mother was at the supermarket that morning.

A．why；that B．which；that

C．that；because D．why；because

答案 B

解析第一句句意为：我们很惊讶地听到她给出的缺席理由是母亲病了。第一空前面的reason在后面的定语从句中作gave的宾语，符合give a reason for的结构，reason用关系代词that/which替代，故排除A、D两项；第二空考查the reason was that...句型，that引导表语从句。所以答案是B项。

26．It is acknowledged that ________ shortest distance between persons is ________ sincere smile.

A．a；the B．the；a

C．a；/ D．the；/

答案 B

解析句意为：人们普遍认为人与人之间的最短距离是真诚的微笑。第一空考查形容词最高级前加the；第二空抽象名词具体化，a smile一次微笑。

27．—We expected you yesterday.

—I’m sorry，I ________ you to say that I couldn’t be here until today.

A．should have called

B．must have called

C．could call

D．would call

答案 A

解析句意为：——我们昨天在等你。——对不起，我应该打电话告诉你我今天才能到。

should have done表示过去应该做的事却没做。

28．—There’ll be billions of people to watch the Spring Festival gala on TV tonight.

—I know.The whole world ________.It’s a really wonderful event.

A．watches B．is watching

C．has watched D．will be watching

答案 D

解析考查将来进行时。句意为：——今晚将有几十亿人在电视上收看春节联欢晚会。

——我知道。整个世界都会观看。那的确是很好的一件事。由语境可知是发生在将来某个特定时间内的动作，故选D项。

29．I work in a business ________ almost everyone is waiting for a great chance.

A．that B．which

C．where D．why

He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions.

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid, The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble. 21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A ched got an older model than he had expected. B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C.He could have bought it at a lower price. D.He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off “in Paragraph 1? A.ended all their programs B.provided fewer channels C.changed to commercials D.showed all-night movies 23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again? A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off. C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired. 24. How does the author sound when telling the story ? A. Curious B. Anxious C. Cautious D. Humorous B Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights .
