答案
D
解析
考查语序的判定和时态的呼应。句意：当绿灯亮了的时候，我站了一会儿没有动，问自己准备做什么。从句受主句时态的限制，此处用过去将来时，且宾语从句应用陈述语序。
8. He asked me ________ with me.
A. what the matter is
B. what the matter was
C. what’s the matter
D. what was the matter
答案
D
解析
从句时态要与主句一致，排除A、C； what is the matter中what为主语，变为从句时语序不变，故选D。
9. Of the two cameras, I would prefer ________ one, which is very easy for me to carry.
A. a smaller
B. the smallest
C. a small
D. the smaller
答案
D
解析
考查形容词比较级。两者之间进行比较表示“较(大、小、高、低……)的一个”，用定冠词“the”加形容词比较级，故选D。
10. One advantage of playing the guitar is ________ it can give you a great deal of pleasure.
A. how
B. why
C. that
D. when
答案
C
解析
that引导表语从句，在句中只起连接作用，不做任何成分，一般不能省略。
11. Great changes have taken place in that school. It is no longer ________ it was 20 years ago, ________ it was so poorly equipped.
A. what; when
B. that; which
C. what; which
D. which; that
答案
A
解析
what引导表语从句，在从句中作表语。
12. Parents are taught to understand ________ important education is to their children’s future.
A. that
B. how
C. such
D. so
答案
B
解析
首先判断这是个宾语从句，C和D不能引导，应当排除；that引导宾语从句没有任何意思，不作任何句子成分，而此处要修饰作表语的形容词important，所以选how。
13. I think Father would like to know ________ I’ve been up to so far, so I decide to send him a quick note.
A. which
B. why
C. what
D. how
答案
C
解析
因为在动词 know后作宾语的是宾语从句，又因为be up to=be busy with(忙于……；干……)中to是介词，后面一定要接宾语，排除副词B和D；which(哪一个)意义不通，只有what(=the thing or things that)正确。
14. Jane’s pale face suggested that she ________ ill, and her parents suggested that she ________ a medical examination.
A. be; should have
B. was; have
C. should be; have
D. was; has
答案
B
解析
前半句句意为：简苍白的脸色表明她病了。第一空前的suggest作“表明”讲，从句中的谓语动词时态须与主句保持一致。第二个suggest作“建议”讲，宾语从句中谓语动词应用“(should+)动词原形”。
15. — Sorry for having kept you waiting. But for the traffic jam, I ________ 20 minutes earlier.
— Never mind. I haven’t been waiting that long.
A. arrived
B. would arrive
C. would have arrived
D. had arrived
答案
C
解析
句意：——很抱歉让你久等了。若不是交通堵塞，我就提前20分钟到了。——没关系，我没等那么久。but for“若不是因为；如果没有”。此句是一个与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以主句用would have done，因此选C项。
Ⅱ. 阅读理解
I was a kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was constantly teased for being heavier than the other kids. I tried several diets, but none worked and I ended up gaining weight. Another factor contributing to my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts. When I finished high school at age 18, I weighed 215 pounds. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy large plus-size clothes.
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend’s party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my reflection in a mirror and the truth hit me： I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it, I would only get bigger and unhappier.
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss efforts and realized they didn’t work because they required me to give up foods I loved. My biggest challenge was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into healthier lifestyle. I found the solution after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.
The pound started coming off and when I started exercising, they seemed to melt away. I felt free to give my body the care and attention it deserved. I lost 165 pounds over the next two years.
Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I’m in tune with my body and myself. My dream is to help others realize the ease and benefits of low-fat cooking and eating. Now that I know what I can achieve when I set my mind to it, my dream is no longer out of reach. I have finally found myself.
1. When I was overweight as a kid, ________.
A. I cared little about it
B. people often made fun of me
C. my life was in trouble
D. my parents kept blaming me
2. The underlined word “modify” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. change
B. increase
C. sense
D. sell
3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. my way to lose weight went smooth
B. my efforts to lose weight paid off
C. people consulted with me for experience
D. I seldom taste delicious dishes
答案与解析
【语篇解读】
