答案解析
Ⅰ. 1.【解析】选D。考查独立主格结构。mother与fix之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系, 故A项错误; 若选B项, 则句子结构错误。此处her eyes与fix之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系, 故C项错误, 选D项。

【解析】选B。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 它的黑眼睛正盯着卷心菜, 显示出对这种蔬菜的极大兴趣。depend on依靠; fix on盯着; stare at盯着, 但应用主动语态; glare at怒目而视。
【知识拓展】“看”的用法比较
(1)stare at凝视, 出于好奇、无礼、傲慢而睁大眼睛凝望、盯着或瞪着看(一般含有贬意)
(2)glare at怒视
(3)gaze at由于兴趣、感激、喜欢或惊奇而目不转睛地凝视

Now look at this photo. 现在看这张照片。
2. 【解析】选A。考查形容词辨析。本句前半部分提到只是有笼统的想法, 由此可知此刻还没有任何“具体的”内容, 故A项正确。后三项分别表示“普通的”“标准的”“抽象的”, 与语意不符。
3. 【解析】选D。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 在你开车下山之前, 要试一下刹车系统。look out小心; work out做出, 处理; carry out执行; try out试验。根据句意选D。
4. 【解析】选A。考查定语从句。way作“方式”讲, 作先行词并在从句中作状语时, 其后的定语从句可用in which或that引导, 也可以省去引导词, 故选A。
5. 【解析】选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 在阿斯旺周围有很多重要的古庙, 它们可以追溯到公元前1250年。date from追溯到; begin with以……开始; start with以……开始; 无open from短语。根据句意选A。
6. 【解析】选C。考查动词辨析。句意: 根据最近的一项调查, 压力过大和长时间的工作正在破坏人们的健康。ruin破坏, 毁灭, 符合句意。hurt伤害(感情); injure伤害(尤指在事故中); desert放弃, 抛弃。
7. 【解析】选D。考查短语辨析。句意: 为了出其不意地抓住小偷, 他悄悄地爬过去。on purpose故意地; for the purpose of为了……的目的; by surprise出其不意地。根据句意选D。8. 【解析】选D。考查完全倒装。当地点状语位于句首, 且主语是名词时, 句子用完全倒装, 即谓语放在主语前面。此处Two hours away from the tall buildings of New York是地点状语, 所以用完全倒装。故选D。
9.【解析】选D。考查介词短语辨析。句意: 17世纪之前的旅行家的航海表明, 即使他们没有现代导航设备, 他们也没有处在大海的任意摆布之下。at the expense of以……为代价; at the risk of冒……的危险; on the way to在去……的路上; at the mercy of任凭……摆布, 完全受……的支配。根据句意选D。

to do sth. 做某事是某人的风格。
11. 【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意: 一听到这个消息, 她就毫不犹豫地冲了出去, 然后消失在远方, 她的手提包还在沙发上。因为she与leave之间存在主动关系, 所以第一个空要用现在分词作状语, 排除A、D两项; 第二个空要用lie的现在分词lying作宾语补足语; laying为“lay(设置, 放置)”的现在分词。
12. 【解析】选D。考查引导定语从句的关系词。句意: 蹦极是一项受年轻人欢迎的冒险运动, 在这项运动中勇气比力气更重要。根据句意和句子结构可知, courage matters more than strength是非限制性定语从句, 修饰sport, 定语从句中缺少状语, 所以选D。where相当于in which。
13. 【解析】选B。句意: 所有年级的学生必须都能够上计算机课, 以便他们能掌握这一现代的交流和学习工具。accessible意为“可到达的; 可接近的”, 后接介词to。avoidable可避免的; valuable有价值的; acceptable可接受的。
14.【解析】选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 大厅里的人们屏住呼吸, 等待宣布一等奖获得者。hold one’s breath屏住呼吸, 符合句意, 选A。
15. 【解析】选B。考查名词辨析。句意: 科学家在治疗癌症方面有了很大的突破。progress进步, 成就, 为不可数名词, 故排除; breakthrough突破, 符合语境, 为正确答案; conclusion结论; introduction介绍。

Perfect Parents in My Mind
My parents are concerned about everything about me: what to eat and wear, who to make friends with, what hobbies to have. . . But I am an adult now.
I do want to make my own decisions and lead my own life.
Therefore, I do wish they would allow me to make decisions sometimes.
I wish they’d understand that working hard to prepare for university does not mean reading textbooks and doing a sea of exercises only. Other activities also count, like sports, music and extensive reading.
I wish they would take me as equal; they would include me in any decision-making in the family, for I’m a member and should have my voice heard.
If only my parents not only love me, but trust me, and understand me as well.
