Ⅰ.单项填空
1．With a native villager ________ as our guide，we paid a visit to the place of interest that afternoon.
A．to actB．acting
C．acted
D．being acted
解析：选B。考查“with＋复合宾语”结构。宾语a native villager与宾补动作act之间为主动关系，因此用动词-ing形式短语作宾补。
2．(2016·河北唐山一模)I was walking down a dark street one evening________I heard screams coming from behind the bushes.
A．when
B．before
C．until
D．while
解析：选A。考查并列句。句意：一天晚上，我正在黑暗的街道上行走，这时突然听到灌木丛后传来尖叫声。when为并列连词，相当于at that moment，强调动作的突发性，意为：就在这时，突然。
3．(2016·福建四地六校联考)The drunken driver，rather than the passers-by________for the traffic accident.
A．was to be blamed
B．was to blame
C．were to blame

B．sitting；fixing
C．seated；being fixed
D．sitting；fixed

5．(2012·高考大纲全国卷)We ________ to paint the whole house but finished only the front part that day.
A．set about
B．set up
C．set out
D．set down
解析：选C。考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们开始着手粉刷整个房子，但是那天只完成了前面部分。set about意为“动身，开始做(后跟v.-ing形式)”；set up意为“建立，搭建”；set out意为“动身出发，开始做，着手做(后接不定式)”；set down意为“记下”。根据句意和此空后是不定式“to paint”知选C。

11．(2012·高考福建卷)China recently tightened its waters controls near the Huangyan Island to prevent Chinese fishing boats from ________in the South China Sea.
A．attacking
B．having attacked
C．being attacked
D．having been attacked
解析：选C。考查动名词被动形式。根据题干中出现的“prevent Chinese fishing boats from ________”可知此处考查“prevent sb./sth.from doing sth.”结构。根据题意“中国最近加紧了对黄岩岛附近水域的控制，为的是防止中国渔船在中国南海受到攻击”可判断渔船(fishing boats)应该是“被攻击”，故应选择动名词的被动形式，从而排除表示主动形式的A和B两项；D项having been attacked为动名词的完成被动式，表示动作已完成，而题干句意并未表明渔船已经受到了攻击，故排除D项，正确答案为C。
12．(2016·贵州兴义精华中学月考)—What field will your son go into after graduation?

15．(2012·高考江苏卷)There is little doubt in your mind that he is innocent，________？
A．is there
B．isn’t there
C．is he
D．isn’t he
解析：选A。考查反意疑问句。空格前的部分为一个主从复合句，主句为there is little doubt，that引导的是同位语从句，修饰doubt。反意疑问部分应该和主句一致，C、D两项可先排除。主句中有否定词little，所以反意疑问部分应使用肯定结构，故选A。

.阅读理解
(2016·天津河西区检测)There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，hurt many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation.It grows into a habit，unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them，and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others；nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune，nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.Otherwise，it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
1．People who are unhappy ________.
A．always consider things differently from others
B．usually are affected by the results of certain things
C．usually misunderstand what others think or say
D．always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
解析：选D。根据第二段前三句内容可知答案为D。
2．The phrase “sour the pleasure of society”most nearly means “________”．
A．have a good taste with social life
B．make others unhappy
C．tend to scold others openly
D．enjoy the pleasure of life
解析：选B。分析句子结构可知sour the pleasure of society与hurt many people，make themselves disagreeable everywhere是并列关系，因此它们要在意思及感情色彩上保持一致，故选B。
3．We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A．we should pity all such unhappy people
B．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C．people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D．unhappy people can not understand happy persons
解析：选C。根据第二段倒数第二句可知C为正确答案。
4．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit，the author suggests that people should ________.
A．prevent any communication with them
B．show no respect and politeness to them
C．persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D．quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
解析：选A。根据最后一段倒数第二句“If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.”可知答案为A。
5．In this passage，the writer mainly ________.
A．describes two types of people
B．laughs at the unhappy people
C．suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits
D．tells people how to be happy in life
解析：选C。通读全文可知，作者的目的是劝说对生活持悲观态度的人摆脱这些不良情绪。
