9.(江西高考)If a person has not had enough sleep，his actions will give him________during the day. A．away
B．up C．in
D．back 解析： 句意为：如果一个人没有充足的睡眠，那么一天中，他的行为举止就会显露出来的。give away(不经意地)泄露，符合句意。give up放弃；give in屈服；give back归还。这三项均不符合题意。 答案： A 10．(福建高考)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 解析： 句意为：市长要来我校参观的消息已于昨日通过广播公布了。A项意为“结果是，证明是”；B项意为“弄清，查明(to get some information about sth./sb.by asking/reading)”；C项意为“分发，散发(to give sth.to a lot of people)”；D项意为“履行，实施(to do sth.that you have said you will do or have been asked to do)”。 答案： C Once she has made up her mind，nothing can change it. 她一旦下定决心，就没有什么能使她改变(她的心意)。 once在此处为从属连词，引导条件状语从句，表示“一旦……就……”。 ①Once heard，the song will never be forgotten. 这首歌一旦被听过，就不会被忘记。 ②Once you form a bad habit，it’s very difficult to get rid of it. 一旦养成了坏习惯，你就很难改掉它。 ③Once you have made your promise，you should keep it. 一旦你许下诺言，就得遵守诺言。 11.(福建高考)You will be successful in the interview________you have confidence. A．before
B．once C．until
D．though 解析： 考查状语从句的连词用法。句意为：只要你有信心，你一定会在面试中成功的。once 引导带有条件性质的状语从句，表示“一旦；如果”，为正确选项。before引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”；until引导时间状语从句，表示“直到……(才)”；though引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”，均不合题意。 答案： B 12．(江苏高考)________environmental damage is done，it takes many years for the ecosystem (生态系统) to recover. A．Even if
B．If only C．While
D．Once 解析： 考查连词辨析。句意为：一旦环境遭到破坏，要花费好多年才能恢复生态系统。once一旦……；even if 即使；if only但愿……就好了；while当……的时候；尽管。 答案： D 13．He is rather difficult to make friends with，but the friendship of his，________，is more true than any other. A．once gained
B．when to gain C．as gained
D．while gaining 解析： 从句意看，这里用once 引导条件状语从句，用省略形式，相当于once (it is) gained。 答案： A When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold，she said it would be an interesting experience.当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。 the air would be hard to breathe是“主语＋be＋adj.＋不定式”结构，其中the air是breathe的逻辑宾语。 ①A man who is so difficult to please must be hard to work with. 一个很难取悦的人一定很难与之共事。 ②The problem is really hard to work out. 这问题很难算出来。 ③It is said that the boss is easy to get along with. 据说老板很容易相处。
14.(全国高考)I like getting up very early in summer.The morning air is so good________. A．to be breathed
B．to breathe C．breathing
D．being breathed 解析： 句意为：在夏季我喜欢早点起床。能呼吸到早上的新鲜空气真好。to breathe在句中作状语，和主语the morning air之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系。在形容词easy，difficult，comfortable，heavy，expensive等词后常用不定式作状语，主动表被动。 答案： B

A．find
B．to find C．on finding
D．in finding 解析： 本题考查动词用法。insist常接从句或介词on＋doing，不接不定式或in doing结构。 答案： C
2．The lady insisted that the young man________her wallet and insisted on________to the police station at once. A．had stolen；be sent
B．should steal；sending him C．had stolen；his being sent
D．should steal；sending 解析： 第一个insist在该句中意思是“强调”“坚持说”，其后的宾语从句用陈述语气；而insist on其后接动名词作宾语，且该句中的send表示被动含义，故用being sent。insist之后不能直接跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语。 答案： C 3．No matter what you say，I shall________my opinion. A．carry out
B．insist on C．keep up
D．stick to 解析： 动词短语辨析。句意为：不论你说什么，我都要坚持我的意见。carry out完成，实现，执行；insist on多用于坚持主张、看法、意见或要求，后接动名词；keep up保持，维持；stick to表示坚持原则、决定、诺言、理论或理想等。 答案： D 4．The boy insisted that he________the money and he________at once. A．not steal；be set free B．hadn’t stolen；be set free C．didn’t steal；should be set free D．hadn’t stolen；set free 解析： 句意为：这个孩子坚持说他没有偷钱，所以应当立刻释放他。 答案： B Ⅲ.语法专练 本单元语法——现在进行时 1．(2011·云南师大附中月考)Since I won the big prize，my telephone hasn’t stopped ringing.People________to ask how I am going to spend the money. A．are phoning
B．phone C．will phone
D．had phoned 解析： 考查时态。此处表示的是当前一段时期内正在发生的事情，所以用现在进行时，即人们现阶段一直在打电话询问“我”赢得大奖后如何花掉那笔钱。 答案： A 2．(2011·安徽师大附中第一次摸底考试)—Are you still very busy? —Yes，I________the report for the manager and it won’t take long. A．have just finished
B．am just finishing C．had just finished
D．am just going to finish 解析： 根据对话内容可知，本题用现在进行时表示此时此刻的情况，即正在写报告。其他选项不合语意。 答案： B 3．The traffic in our city is already good and it________even better. A．is getting
B．has got C．gets
D．got 解析： 考查时态。句意为：我市的交通状况已经很好，并且它正变得更好。此处指目前正在发生的情况，应用现在进行时。 答案： A 4．My daughter________in a restaurant for the summer，but she doesn’t like it very much. A．worked
B．is working C．was working
D．works 解析： 考查时态。根据后半句中的doesn’t一词可知说话人的女儿如今正在一家饭店工作，因此用现在进行时。一般现在时通常用来表示习惯性或经常性的动作，因此D项不恰当。 答案： B 5．—Have you got any jobs yet? —Well，I have got several offers，but not so suitable.I________still________. A．have been；waiting
B．would；wait C．am；waiting
D．have；waited 解析： 考查时态。依据上下文的语境“——你找到工作了么？——哦，我得到了几个工作机会，但都不合适。我还在等”。可知，该处表示现在还在等，所以用现在进行时。而have been doing为现在完成进行时，表从过去到现在一直进行或发生，不符合语境。 答案： C 真题回放 佳作展示 (2010·山东卷) 假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你和在上海上学的英国朋友Tom约好下周末去北京旅游，但你因故不能赴约。请根据以下要点用英语给他写一封电子邮件： 1．表示歉意；2.解释原因；3.另约时间。 注意：1.词数120～150；2.可适当增加细节。 __________________________________ Dear Tom，
