1．— ________ he said so at the meeting made everyone present angry.
—Yes.We all ________ him of his rudeness.
A．That, accused
B．What, accused
C．That, charged
D．As, charged
答案 A [注意so作said的宾语，所以第一空用that引导主语从句；第二空考查accuse...of...结构的用法，故选A。]
2．Would you please read the letter and ________ your classmates?
A．pass it on to
B．pass on it to
C．pass it on
D．pass on it
答案 A [表达“把……传给某人”在英语中可以用pass sb sth/pass sth to sb/pass sth on to sb。当宾语是代词时，必须把代词放在动词和副词之间。四个选项中只有A项结构正确。]
3．A proposal has ________ that a new law should be made to fight drugs abuse.
A．put back
B．been put off
C．put up
D．been put forward
答案 D [由于主语a proposal和动词词组之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动语态，排除A、C两项；put forward意思是“提出”，符合题意，而put off意思是“推迟”，不符合本题句意。]
4．All the representatives at the 17th CPC National Congress were strongly ________ by Hu Jintao's speech on sustainable growth.
A．impressed

答案 A [句意为“胡锦涛关于可持续发展的报告给出席十七大的代表们留下了深刻的印象”。]

6．—Excuse me, do you have the time?
— ________.
A．Yes, I have
B．Of course, I have
C．A quarter to ten
D．No problem
答案 C [本题关键信息是have the time(几点了)，而不是have time(有时间)，要回答具体时间，因此选C项。]
7．If the firms failed to make enough money, they would ________.
A．close down
B．call of
C．turn down
D．set off
答案 A [close down意为“关闭，使停业，使倒闭”；call off意为“取消”；turn down意为“拒绝；调小”；set off意为“出发；爆炸”。根据题意，故选A。]
8．Some people choose jobs for other reasons ________ money these days.
A．for
B．except
C．besides
D．with
答案 C [注意本题空格前有other reasons，表明本题空格处的意思是“除……之外(还有)”，四个选项中只有besides符合题意。]
9．The news of the mayor's coming to our school for a visit was ________ on the radio yesterday.
A．turned out
B．found out
C．given out
D．carried out
答案 C [turn out结果是；find out查清，弄明白；give out发出，分发，散发；carry out履行，实施。根据题意，故选C项。句意为“昨天广播公布了市长要来参观我校的消息”。]
10．John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work ________， he gladly accepted it.
A．finished
B．finishing
C．having finished
D．was finished
答案 A [根据题意，finish和his work之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动结构；with的复合结构中缺少宾语补足语。故A项是正确答案。]
11．What disappointed us was that their determination finally ________.
A．gave off
B．gave out
C．gave up
D．gave in
答案 B [句意为“让我们失望的是，他们最后没有了决心。”give out表示“用完；耗尽”，是不及物动词短语。give off表示“发出(蒸汽、光)等”，give up放弃；give in屈服；让步。]
12．Eventually it ________ that he had been stealing money from his employers, which astonished his parents.

Ⅲ.任务型阅读
There are 3 basic types of rock climbing.Top roping is probably one of the most common types and the climber basically climbs with a partner.Top roping is a style in which a rope，used for the climber's safety，runs from a belayer(保护员)at the foot of a route through one or more carabiners(铁锁)connected to an anchor system at the top of the route and back down to the climber，usually attaching to the climber by means of a harness.Assuming that the route is bottomtotop，the toprope climber generally will not fall more than a short distance and can thus safely attempt even the most difficult routes.
The second type，which is very similar to top roping is called lead climbing.The buddy(同伴)system works the same way，one man on the ground belaying and the other climbing，but this time instead of the rope being at the top of the rock it has to be hooked into clasps(钩子)as the climber climbs up the rock.In both of these types of rock climbing the climbers has the luxury to sit off the rock face and rest on the rope.However，lead climbing requires the climber to hang from the rock face with one hand，grab the rope ，and pull it up to lip it into the clasps，and this can be very hard depending on many different things.
The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering.Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes or harnesses.The climber tends to stay much closer to the ground.This is the most demanding of all climbing.The climber must be able to complete the route without taking a rest on the rope.Often，during a bouldering route the climber is required to do a maneuver called dyno(动态动作)．Dynos are basically launching yourself off the rock face，and then grabbing at a hold further away from you.This type of maneuver is where mental training plays a major role in climbing.
Believe it or not，climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms.To climb successfully one must use wonderful technique.One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have 3 points touching the rock face.Whether it is both feet and one hand，or one foot and both hands，it is much easier to have your weight distributed on 3 points than it is 2.Another important concept to grasp is that your arms in most cases will not do the climbing；they only hold you into the rock face so that your legs are actually pushing you upward.The closer you are to the rock face，the easier it is to climb.
