6．(2011·高考重庆卷)It is not always easy for the public to see ________ use a new invention can be of to human life.
A．whoseB．what
C．which
D．that
解析：选B。本题考查宾语从句。what引导宾语从句，同时在从句中作use的定语。还原句子为“a new invention can be of what use”。
7．Mr.Smith thought that ________ take it back ________.
A．I shall；tomorrow
B．I shall；the next day
C．he should；tomorrow
D．he would；the next day
解析：选D。句意：史密斯先生以为第二天他就能把它取回来。当主句用过去时态时，其后的宾语从句的谓语动词通常采用相应的过去时态。此外，在间接引语中，采用the next day来取代直接引语中的tomorrow。
8．“Leave the dog as it is，”mother shouted to us.
→Mother asked us ________ the dog as it ________.
A．to leave；is
B．to leave；was
C．to leaving；was
D．to leaving；is
解析：选B。ask sb.to do sth.“要求某人干某事”，为固定结构。由asked为过去时，可知应用was，故答案选B。
9．The tourist asked the guide where he ________ visit the next day.
A．was going to
B．will
C．is going to
D．is to
解析：选A。宾语从句时态应与asked保持一致，所以用was going to。
10．Could you tell us ________ happens when one student in class expresses a personal opinion ________ maybe offends other students?
A．that；that
B．what；where
C．that；where
D．what；that
解析：选D。分析题干不难看出，________happens是一个间接引语，作tell的宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以第一个空要用what；在when引导的时间状语从句中opinion是先行词，定语从句________ maybe offends other students中缺少主语，所以用that引导。
11．They are just college graduates and don’t realize ________ to start and run a company.
A．what takes it
B．what they take
C．what takes them
D．what it takes
解析：选D。句意：他们是刚毕业的大学生，还没有认识到开办和经营一家公司需要什么。在realize的宾语从句中，用了固定句式：It takes(sb.)sth./some time to do sth.“花费(某人)……做某事”，what引导宾语从句，同时在从句中作take的宾语。
12．He said that his car ________ stolen and he ________ have to telephone the police.
A．was；would
B．has been；will
C．had been；would
D．had been；will
解析：选C。steal动作显然在said前发生，故其表示“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时，而后一空表示过去的将来，用would do。
13．—Why did you talk to the teacher after class?
—I didn’t understand ________ during the lecture.
A．the problem did she tell us
B．how did she say
C．that she was talking about
D．what she was teaching
解析：选D。understand后宾语从句用陈述句语序，what作teach的宾语。
14．“Do close the door，please.”he said to his sister.
→He asked his sister ________ the door.
A．to close
B．closed
C．closes
D．closing
解析：选A。ask sb.to do sth.“要求/请求某人干某事”，为固定搭配形式，close前的do是为了加强语气。
15．The teacher said，“Do the exercises.”
→The teacher told us ________ the exercises.
A．do
B．doing
C．to doing
D．to do
解析：选D。tell sb.to do sth.“吩咐某人干某事”，为固定搭配。

1．(2016·北京西城测试)—Have you got used to the Chinese food，Robert?
—Yes.But I don’t like________when a Chinese host keeps serving me the food I don’t like.
A．thisB．that
C．those
D．it
解析：选D。考查it的用法。句意：——你习惯吃中餐了吗，Robert？——习惯了。但是当中国的主人一直让我吃我不喜欢的菜时，我就不喜欢中餐了。分析句子可知，when引导宾语从句，作like的宾语。所以空处只能填形式宾语。在英语中作形式主语和形式宾语的只有it，所以本题选D。
2．Leave your key with a neighbor ________ you lock yourself out one day.
A．ever since
B．even if
C．soon after
D．in case
解析：选D。in case以防万一。句意为：留一把钥匙给邻居，以防有一天你把自己锁在外面。
3．We are at your service.Don’t ________ to turn to us if you have any further problems.
A．beg

4．We did all we could to ________ the girl，who had been feeling down because of her failure in the job interview.
A．adjust
B．comfort
C．toast
D．recommend
解析：选B。 由后面的定语从句可以看出，小女孩非常失落，所以应该选择comfort(安慰)。句意为： 我们竭尽全力的安慰这位女孩，她因为面试失败而变的非常沮丧。adjust“适应”；toast “敬酒，烤”；recommend“推荐”。
5．—Can I help you?
—I’d like a room with a bath.How much do you ________？
A．offer
B．afford
C．charge
D．spare
解析：选C。“charge”同“demand”，意为“要(价)，收(费)”。
6．We all feel the cold to different degrees，________on our gender，fitness，age，diet，how much sleep we have，and even the company we keep.
A．depending
B．depended
C．to depend
D．having depended
解析：选A。考查非谓语动词的用法。语意：我们都在不同程度上有冷的感觉，这取决于我们的性别、健康状态、年龄、饮食、睡眠时间，甚至取决于我们与什么人为伍。注意depend的动作与degrees是逻辑上的主谓关系，而且这个动作是作状语的，所以用现在分词形式。故选A。
7．—So why do we ________ the people who do them so poorly.
—There can be only one answer－because they are women，and the work is so hard.
A．punish
B．blame
C．reward
D．claim

8．A university is an educational institution which________degrees and carries out research.
A．rewards
B．awards
C．grants
D．presents
解析：选B。句意：大学是授予学位和进行研究的教育机构。reward意为“酬谢，回报”；award意为“授予”；grant意为“同意(给予)，答应(请求)”；present意为“颁发，呈递”。故选B。
9．(2011·高考山东卷)He had his camera ready ________ he saw something that would make a good picture.
A．even if
B．if only
C．in case
D．so that
解析：选C。考查引导词。句意“他准备好了相机以防看到可以拍摄的景物。”in case 为“以防；以免”even if为“即使”，if only 为“如果……”，so that “为了，以便”。
10．The doctor said that the patient had to ________ at once.
A．operate
B．operate on
C．be operated
D．be operated on
解析：选D。考查operate的用法。operate vi.后加介词on，再加宾语。the patient与operate on之间为被动关系，所以用be operated on。
11．I’d try even if I may fail ________ sit there worrying in time of trouble.
A．rather than
B．other than
C．more than
D．less than
解析：选A。rather than 而不是，other than 除了， more than 不仅仅，less than 少于。句意：尽管可能会输，我还是会尝试，而不是在麻烦时坐在那边担心。
12．I’m lucky because my job has ________ hours，and I can come and go
pretty much as I want.
A．changing
B．flexible
C．basic
D．moveable
解析：选B。考查形容词辨析。 flexible意思为“灵活的”， flexible hours意思为“弹性工作时间”，这与下一句表达的相吻合。changing变化的；basic基本的；基础的；moveable活动的。
13．—Four dollars a pair.I think it’s a bit too much.
—If you buy three pairs，the price for each willto three fifty.
A．come down
B．take down
C．turn over
D．go over
解析：选A。句意：——4美元一双，我认为价格有点高。——如果你买3双，可以便宜点，每双的价格为3.5美元。come down意为“价格降低，温度下降”；take down意为“写下，记下”；turn over意为“翻身，翻转”；go over意为“复习”。故选A。
14．John cannot afford to go to university，________going abroad.
A．nothing but
B．anything but
C．not to speak of
D．nothing to speak of
解析：选C。句意：John上不起大学，更不用说出国了。从上下文来看，这里要填的是一个表示“更不用说，更谈不上”之意的短语。not to speak of表示“更不用说”，因而选C。nothing but意为“仅仅，不过”；anything but意为“一点也不，根本不”；nothing to speak of意为“(因极不重要或极小而)不值一提”。
15．—I hope you’re enjoying your stay here.
—If it________for the climate，I would like it very much.
A．isn’t
B．hasn’t been
C．weren’t
D．hadn’t been
解析：选C。句意：——我希望你在这里过得愉快。——要不是这里的气候的话，我会非常喜欢这儿。前面说如果不是这里的气候的话，可以看出如果不是这里的气候，我会非常喜欢这里的。这里的气候就这样了，所以这里应该用虚拟语气，be在虚拟语气中要用were。所以选C。

【解题导语】 在当今通讯发达的时代，除了电话和电子邮件等便利的通讯工具外，还有一种似乎已经被人们忘却的选择，那就是书信。正是因为书信，作者和哥哥才言归于好。
1．A.receivedB．rewritten
C．returned
D．reread
解析：选D。信件可以被欣赏，被读，被“重新读”。前三项都与本句内容不符。
2．A.record
B．promise
C．friendship
D．secret
解析：选C。根据前一个分句中的内容可知几乎不费力气就可以用信件保持“友谊”。
3．A.an example
B．a lesson
C．an experience
D．a talk
解析：选A。上文叙述的是信件的益处，本段则用作者与哥哥重归于好的例子进行证明，由此可知是“例证”。
4．A.through
B．together
C．along
D．away
解析：选C。本段中间部分提到两人之间存在误解，由此可知两个人在几年前相处得不好。get along相处融洽。
5．A.brothers
B．children
C．fellows
D．classmates
解析：选B。根据本句后半部分中的内容可知两个人在小的时候关系非常密切，只是随着年龄的增长才疏远了对方。
6．A.normal
B．necessary
C．pleasant
D．possible
解析：选C。既然两个人的谈话充满了争论和争吵，他们的见面自然是“令人不愉快的”。
7．A.deepen
B．start
C．express
D．settle
解析：选A。每次试图缓和这种气氛的努力都只会“加深”他们之间的误解。
8．A.toured
B．stopped over
C．reached
D．moved to
解析：选D。后来他“搬到”了加勒比海的一个小岛上。A项表示“周游”，B项表示“中途停留”，C项表示“到达”，都不符合语境。
9．A.lost
B．kept in
C．needed
D．got in
解析：选A。作者的哥哥搬到了另外一个地方，两人自然“失去”了联系。
10．A.think
B．write
C．enjoy
D．read
解析：选B。对方首先打破僵局，主动给作者写信，显然是鼓励作者也给他“写信”，以便加强两个人之间的交流。
11．A.driven
B．beaten
C．surprised
D．honored
解析：选C。作者没有想到哥哥的语言如此幽默，表达方式如此高明，所以感到非常“惊奇”。
12．A.never
B．seldom
C．sometimes
D．once
解析：选D。所有的这些才能“曾经”让作者十分尊重自己的哥哥。前两项表示的都是否定含义，可排除。
13．A.realized
B．judged
C．thought
D．expected
解析：选C。作者曾经尊重哥哥的才华，“以为”他如今不再像昔日那样才华横溢。
14．A.well
B．often
C．much
D．soon
解析：选A。上文叙述的是作者从哥哥的来信中又领略到了他往昔的才华，所以作者从不知道他可以写这么“好”。
15．A.later
B．anyhow
C．too
D．again
解析：选D。两个人小时候亲密无间，后来产生了隔阂，如今这封信“又”让兄弟俩成为了好朋友。
16．A.us
B．anyone else
C．someone
D．my brother
解析：选D。本句是对过去情况的虚拟，意思是说如果作者的哥哥没有去那个地方，他也许永远不会想到给作者写信。
17．A.mail services
B．transport services
C．phones
D．relatives
解析：选C。作者的哥哥去了加勒比海的一个小岛，无法与作者“电话”联系，不得不写信与作者交流。
18．A.poor
B．easy
C．popular
D．busy
解析：选B。我们生活在通讯发达的时代，用电话和电子邮件等方式联系非常“容易”。
19．A.believe
B．decide
C．argue
D．forget
解析：选D。在通讯发达的时代，人们经常“忘记”他们不必总是使用电话或者电子邮件。
20．A.habit
B．choice
C．method
D．plan
解析：选B。除了电话和电子邮件之外，人们还有另外一种“选择”，那就是写信。

Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World (NEW YORK)A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum.He handed the girl to her father，David Anderson，who had dived in after him.
“I didn’t think at all，” Duret told the Daily News.“It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”
Duret，an engineer on vacation，was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (码头) when he saw something falling into the water.He
thought it was a doll，but realized it was a child when he approached the river.In an instant，he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl，she appeared lifeless，he said.Fortunately，when she was out of the water，she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera.An ambulance came later for her，said Duret，who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France.Duret said he didn’t realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he
was leaving the city the next morning.
“I don’t really think I’m a hero，”said Duret.“Anyone would do the same thing.”
【解题导语】 本文是一则报道。Duret和女朋友在码头散步时救了一个落水的小女孩。
1．Why was Duret in New York?
A．To meet his girlfriend.
B．To work as an engineer.
C．To spend his holiday.
D．To visit the Andersons.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第五段第一句中的信息Duret，an engineer on vacation可知，他到纽约度假来了。
2．What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?
A．He was interviewed by a newspaper.
B．He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.
C．He went to the hospital in the ambulance.
D．He disappeared from the spot quickly.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第三段内容可知，救护车来后不久Duret就和他的女友乘出租车离开了现场，从第二段也可看出救人后他很快就离开了现场，所以答案选D项。
3．Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?
A．David Anderson.
B．A passer-by.
C．His girlfriend.
D．A taxi driver.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“He handed the girl to her father，David Anderson，who had dived in after him.”可知，跟在他(Duret)后面跳进河里救小女孩的是女孩的父亲David Anderson。
4．When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?
A．The day when he was leaving for home.
B．A couple of days after the girl was rescued.
C．The first day when he was in New York.
D．The same day when he was interviewed.
解析：选B。推理判断题。因为营救那个女孩后Duret很快就离开了现场，所以当天没有人知道他到底是谁，记者不可能在当天采访他，排除D项；事情发生在他准备离开纽约的前一天，故排除C项；根据倒数第二段可知，Duret直到离开才意识到自己的英雄主义故事对纽约感动之大，但看不出是在动身回家的当天人们就知道他是救人英雄的，再结合第二段内容可知人们很可能是过了几天后才发现Duret是救人英雄的。

Three Central Texas men were honored with the Texas Department
of Public Safety’s Director’s Award in a Tuesday morning ceremony for their heroism in saving the victims of a serious two-car accident.
The accident occurred on March 25 when a vehicle lost control
while traveling on rain-soaked State Highway 6 near Baylor Camp Road.It ran into an oncoming vehicle，leaving the occupants trapped inside as both vehicles burst into flames.
Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming.He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith,10，and her sister，Megan Smith,9，from the wreckage.The girls’mother，Beckie Smith，was not with them at the time of
the wreck，as they were traveling with their babysitter，Lisa Bowbin.Beckie Smith still remembers the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the call informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene.Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out the fires.
“I was nervous，” Bozeman said.“I don’t feel like I’m a hero.I was just doing what anyone should do in that situation.I hope someone would do the same for me.”
Everyone at the accident made it out alive，with the victims suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries.Mallory Smith broke both femurs，and Megan had neck and back injuries.Bowbin is still recovering from a broken pelvis，ankle and foot.
The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing，Bonge said.
In addition，Bozeman got to meet accident victim Anthony Russo in the hospital after the accident，where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed with “Thank you”．Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together.
“Whatever the circumstances，Tuesday’s ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers，” Beckie Smith said.“We’re calling it the Miracle on Highway 6.”
1．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Three persons were awarded for rescuing victims in a car accident.
B．Three ordinary people were regarded as great heroes.
C．Several victims were carried to safety from the burning cars.
D．A car accident occurred on rain-soaked State Highway 6.
解析：选A。主旨大意题。这是一篇资讯报道。从第一段第一句“Three Central Texas men were honored with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Directors Award”及下文内容可知，A为本文大意。
2. Who saved Megan Smith from the damaged car?
A．Clemmons.B．Anthony Russo.
C．Bozeman.
D．Bonge.
解析：选D。细节理解题。从第三段“Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming.He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith,10，and her sister，Megan Smith,9，from the wreckage.”可知答案。
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Luckily，no one received too serious injuries in the accident.
B．All the victims received slight injuries in the accident.
C．The rescuers were taken to the hospital to visit the victims.
D．The injured will soon recover from their injuries.
解析：选A。正误判断题。从第五段的“...with the victims suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries.”可知A项符合文意。
4．It can be inferred from what Beckie Smith said that ________.
A．she regarded the accident as a wonder
B．she was frightened by the serious accident
C．she thought highly of the rescuers
D．she called on others to learn from the rescuers
解析：选C。推理判断题。从最后一段的“Tuesday’s ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers.”可知答案。

(London，April 1st,2009 )U.S.President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown are calling for global unity as world leaders gather in London for an emergency economic summit (峰会)．The president says no one country can fix the economic crisis.
Mr.Obama stressed the need for all the participants to seek common ground to deal with the economic crisis.“I am absolutely confident that this meeting will reflect enormous consensus
about the need to work together to deal with these problems，” said Mr.Obama.
There are signs of tension，as the G20 Summit prepares to begin its work in London.Some countries are blaming the United States for sparking the economic crisis through the deregulation(撤销管制规定)of its financial scene—a move that sparked an economic recession (经济衰退)．The president says the United States has made mistakes，but so did other countries whose regulatory systems could not keep pace with a changing financial sector.He says it is time to look for solutions.“At this point，I am less interested in identifying blame than in fixing the problem，” he said.
France and Germany say the emphasis should be on regulatory reform.French President Nicholas Sarkozy even told an interviewer that he might walk out of the summit，if nations fail to agree on stricter regulation of global financial markets.Brown predicts no walkouts.President Obama says reports of differences are overstated.And，Prime Minister Brown predicts no one will walk away from the summit and its important work.“I am confident President Sarkozy will not be here for the first course of our dinner，but will still be sitting as we complete our dinner this evening，” said Mr.Brown.“Never before has the world come together in this way to talk about an economic crisis，” he said.“Any of the crises we have seen since the Second World War，you have not had this level of international cooperation.”
【解题导语】 本文介绍了伦敦G20峰会的有关情况，涉及奥巴马总统、萨科齐总统和布朗首相的主要观点以及与会国之间的意见分歧。
5．According to the news report，the aim of the summit in London is mainly to ________.
A．seek solutions to the world economic crisis
B．remove the misunderstanding between world leaders
C．build up new regulatory systems in each country
D．strengthen the economic relationship between countries
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据文章第一段的最后一句，第二段首句和文章最后两句内容可判断在伦敦举办G20峰会的目的是共同寻求化解经济危机的方法。
6．When President Obama says no one country can fix the economic crisis，he wants to stress the ________.
A．importance of the USA taking part in the summit
B．effort to reach an agreement on the economic recession
C．need for all the members at the summit to work together
D．the necessary reform in the regulatory systems
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段的第一句话可知，奥巴马总统指出没有哪个国家能单独化解经济危机，强调与会各国应求同存异，齐心协力寻求化解经济危机的良策。
7．Differences between leaders at the summit can be seen from the fact that ________.
A．President Obama says differences are overstated
B．French President told an interviewer that he might walk out of the summit
C．Prime Minister Brown predicts no one will walk away from the summit
D．nations do not agree on stricter regulation of global financial markets
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句和第四段的第一、二两句可知，法国和德国领导人的观点与美国总统的观点不同，萨科齐总统甚至对媒体说他可能会退出峰会，由此可见在伦敦的G20峰会上，各国领导人意见不一致。
8．Mr.Brown seems to see the summit as ________.
A．the only way to solve the world problems
B．an unhappy gathering for the world leaders

Washington (Reuters)—People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday.
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have
the same risk，the study of 60,000 people in Singapore found.
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study.
“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level
of insulin (胰岛素) in the body，which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth，” Pereira said in a statement.
Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and his colleagues said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.
Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer.Those who drank two or more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic cancer.
Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.
“Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare.Favorite pastimes (消遣)are eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other Western countries，”he said.
But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.
“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal (因果的)connection or not，” said Mayne，who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally.In the United States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.
