.单项填空
1．My parents________me to go to the theatre with my friends. But I didn't go.
A．suggested B．persuaded
C．advised
D．expected
答案：C 考查动词辨析。句意：我父母劝我和朋友一块儿去看戏，但是我没有去。advise sb. to do sth. 表示“劝说某人做某事”，不一定成功；persuade sb. to do sth. 表示“说服某人做某事”，劝说成功了。suggest“建议”，后面不能跟不定式作宾补；expect“期待，预料”，不符合语境。
2．Talking about the future, I prefer________a businessman ________be an official.
A．being; to
B．to be; to
C．to be; rather than
D．being; more than
答案：C 考查prefer的用法。prefer to do...rather than do...表示“宁愿做……也不愿做……”。如：I prefer to stay here on my own rather than go there. 我宁愿自己呆在这里，也不去那里。
3．—That's a lovely dress. You look good in it.
—Really? Thank you. My aunt gave it to me for my birthday, but I don't________the color.
A．go in for
B．care for
C．care about
D．concern about
答案：B 考查短语辨析。go in for“从事，爱好(表示长期的爱好)”；care for“喜欢，介意”；care about“关心，惦念”；concern多为及物动词，在be concerned后才跟介词about, for, with等。从语境看，只有B项合适。
4．After she found she had lost the necklace, she and her husband________to find it.
A．made up their minds
B．made their mind
C．had made up ther mind
D．had made minds
答案：A 考查make up one's mind的用法。句意：当她发现她丢失了项链后，她和她丈夫下决心找到它。当主语是复数时，mind后要加s，即make up one's minds。
5．He was watching her doing it with a________look on his face, as if to say that he would not change his mind.
A．determining
B．determined
C．sceptical
D．secure
答案：B determined意为“果断的，坚毅的”。句意：他看着她的举动，脸上一幅果断的表情，好像说他不会改变主意。sceptical“怀疑的”；secure“安心的，有把握的”。
6．Please ask the lawyer what his________would be to take the case to court.
A．fare
B．charge
C．fee
D．expense
答案：C 考查名词辨析。fare指车船费；charge指应付的费用或索取的代价；expense指消费，支出；fee指付给律师、医生、私人教师或其他脑力劳动者的报酬，以及缴纳给公共团体、学校、图书馆、俱乐部的费用等。从句中的lawyer以及将要出庭等来看，用fee合适。
7．You have been reading to me________James went out.
A．ever than
B．ever since
C．so far as
D．the moment
答案：B 考查连词用法。句意：自从詹姆斯出去后你就一直在给我朗读。ever since为连词，主句要用完成时，从句用一般过去时；其中ever是个强化词，放在since前表强调。
8．He tried his best to solve the problem，________difficult it was.
A．however
B．no matter
C．whatever
D．although
答案：A 考查连词辨析。however＋adj./adv.＝no matter how＋adj./adv. 引导让步状语从句。句意：不论多么难，他都尽全力解决这个问题。
9．The old man insisted that I__________his wallet and that I________to the police station with him.
A．had taken; go
B．take; should go
C．would take; had gone
D．should take; go
答案：A 考查insist接从句的用法。insist作“坚持，主张”讲时，从句用虚拟语气，即“(should)do sth.”；作“坚持认为”，即坚持事实时，为陈述语气，应根据实际情况选用合适的时态。
10．Our teacher insisted that the key words worth paying attention________before class.
A．be underlined
B．being underlined
C．to be underlinedD．to being underlined
答案：C 考查句子的理解和insist的用法。句意：我们老师坚持要求把值得注意的关键词语在课前划出来。句中worth paying attention to是形容词短语作后置定语；insist在此意思是“坚持，坚持认为”，所以所接that从句中应该用“should＋动词原形”的虚拟语气，此处should被省略，所以用be underlined。
11．—Goodbye! I'm going back to my hometown this afternoon.
—________
A．Have a nice trip.
B．Congratulations!
C．Take your time.
D．I couldn't agree more.
答案：A 考查交际用语。句意：——再见！今天下午我要回家乡看看。——旅途愉快。have a nice trip“旅途愉快”。congratulations“恭喜”；take your time“不着急，慢慢来”；I couldn't agree more“我非常同意”。
12．(2012·潍坊期末)—Anna，where________you________with so many things in your hands?
—To my office. It has been moved to the third floor.
A. are；headingB. will; head
C．have；headed
D. do; head
答案：A 考查时态。句意：——安娜，手里拿着这么多东西，你要去哪儿？——去办公室。它已经搬到了三楼上。由句意可知，选现在进行时表将来。
13．(2012·太原调研)—What a hard chair!
—Yes, it is.But in fact, it is very comfortable to________.
A.sit B.sit on
C.be sat D.be sat on
答案：B 考查主动表被动。comfortable是形容词，后面的不定式应该用主动表被动，所以排除C、D两项；再由句意可知，介词on不能没有。
14．(2012·泸州一诊)Although Jane agrees with me mostly, there was indeed something she was unwilling to________.
A．give inB.give out
C.give away
D.give off
答案：A 考查动词短语。句意：虽然简在很大程度上同意我的话，但是事实上在某些方面她绝不会让步。give in“让步，屈服”；give out“分发，耗尽”；give away“捐赠，泄漏”；give off“发出(气味、声音、光等)”。

[范文借鉴]
Last weekend, I took our foreign teacher Mr. Brown to the Great Wall, who came to China for the first time. Having been told about the history of the Great Wall, he was amazed at this world wonder. He was struck by the beauty of the Great Wall. So I took photos for him, which would be a good memory for him. At the top, Mr. Brown was so interested in the activity of protecting the cultural relics that he was eager to join in and signed his name. Only when a Chinese girl brought back his bag did he realize he had forgotten about it. Mr. Brown expressed his thanks to her.Both the Great Wall and the Chinese people impressed him deeply.
