Ⅱ.单句语法填空
1. These art
works
bear
witness________ the creativeness of the Chinese people.
答案:to

2. Generally speaking, how much you're paid ________(reflect) how important you are to the company you are working for.
答案:reflects
解析:考查动词词义。句意:一般而言,你的薪水多少反映了你在你工作的公司里的重要性。how much you're paid作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。
3.He was quite aware ________ how dangerous the whole situation was, but he had no choice but to take a risk.
答案:of
解析:be aware of“意识到,清楚”,符合题意。
4.They urged that the library________ ________(keep) open during the vacation.
答案:be kept
解析:考查urge的用法。句意:他们极力主张在放假期间图书馆应当开放。urge后跟的从句中的谓语用虚拟语气“(should+)动词原形”,keep和其逻辑主语the library在逻辑上是动宾关系,构成“keep the library open”结构,故用被动形式。
5.They abandon themselves ________drinking although they are drivers, which is very dangerous both to them and the passengers.
答案:to
解析:句意:虽然他们是司机,但他们还是沉溺于饮酒,此举无论是对于他们还是对乘客们而言,都很危险。abandon oneself to“沉溺于”,符合句意。
6. ________ ________(educate) in a famous university is what most students wish for.
答案:Being educated
解析:考查非谓语动词的用法。该结构的逻辑主语是下文中的“most students”,所以应用被动形式,由句子结构分析,空格部分在句子中作主语,故只能填being educated。
7.When I________ ________(help) in the kitchen, nothing made me feel better than preparing the eggs and serving them just the way the customers wanted.
答案:helped out
解析:句意:我在厨房里帮忙的时候,没有什么比能够完全按照顾客希望的方式做好鸡蛋并给他们端上更让我感到高兴的了。help out帮忙,协助。
8.The likely reactions of the market would need to be________ ________(reflect) before we acted.
答案:reflected on
解析:考查动词短语辨析。句意:在我们采取行动之前,我们有必要考虑一下市场可能的反应。reflect on“思考,考虑”,符合语境。
9. With a great weight ________(take) off her mind, she passed all the tests successfully.
答案:taken
解析:句意:由于放下了思想包袱,她成功地通过了所有考试。分析句子结构可知,take 和a great weight 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用“with+宾语+过去分词”结构。
10. —Look, the absentminded student is holding the book ________ ________(颠倒).
—He is much too careless.
答案:upside down
解析:考查短语意义。句意:“瞧,那个心不在焉的学生把书拿颠倒了。”“他太粗心了。”upside down “上下颠倒”,与句意相符。

[2017·山西省五校高三联合测试]
With more than 10,000 plants the 68ft“living wall” near Victoria station will collect rainwater which falls onto the roof of the building and use it to nourish the plants. The result will be an eyecatching garden which brightens up the popular tourist route, near the Rubens at the Palace Hotel, and stops it from flooding.
Containing more than 20 seasonal plant species, the wall required 16 tons of soil and will be capable of storing up to 10,000 litres of water. The project, backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson, was launched with the aim of dealing with a key environmental challenge in London.
According to the Environment Agency, there are around 534,000 properties in London on the Thames flood plain and one in four are at risk of flooding. This is partly due to the low absorbency of urban surfaces.
Matthew Pencharz, the Mayor's Advisor for Environment and Energy, said, “London has plenty of trees, parks, gardens and increasing numbers of living roofs, which can increase resilience(适应力) to extreme weather. The Mayor is encouraging more green programs like the living wall to make sure London can continue to compete, not only as the greenest city in Europe, but as the best city on the earth.”
A similar living wall was built in Islington in 2005 but ended in disappointment after the watering system failed and all the plants died.
At that time critics accused the council of wasting 100,000 of taxpayers' money on a “green extravagance (奢侈品)”. The Victoria project is believed to be the largest of its kind in the country.
Ruth Duston, CEO of Victoria BID, said,“Building the living wall has a longterm positive impact on the environment. It delivers a model of best practice for London.”
The flowers have been chosen to ensure the wall is in bloom all year round, attracting wildlife such as birds, butterflies and bees.
Armando Raish, managing director of Treebox, said,“Due to the variety of plants, we expect the living wall to significantly increase the number and variety of bugs and bees in this part of Victoria.”
1.The“living wall” was designed to ________.
A. display some unusual plants
B. prevent flooding when it rains
C. store rainwater for the citizens
D. attract more tourists to London
2.The underlined word“backed”in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by________.
A. criticizedB. constructed
C. supported
D. rejected
3.Why are 25% of the buildings on the Thames flood plain at risk of flooding?
A. Because the buildings are near the river.
B. Because it rains heavily all the year round.
C. Because there are few trees and plants in London.
D. Because the ground doesn't absorb much rainwater.
4.Which would be the best title of the text?
A. A Beautiful Garden City
B. London's Living Wall of Green
C. More Species in Central London
D. Creative Way to Fight Flooding
[文章大意] 在伦敦的维多利亚火车站附近建起了能种植万余株植物的墙体。在下大雨的时候,雨水可以用来浇这些植物,预防伦敦市区泛滥成灾。
1.B。考查细节理解。根据第一段的内容可知,这道种植植物的墙建在维多利亚火车站附近,目的是用雨水浇这些植物,预防伦敦市区泛滥成灾。
2.C。考查词义猜测。从第四段中伦敦市长顾问的话“The Mayor is encouraging more green programs like the living wall to make sure...”中可以推断出,市长对该项目的态度是支持的。画线的单词backed 意为“支持”,可被 supported 代替。criticize “批评”;construct“建造”;reject“拒绝”。
3.D。考查细节理解。根据第三段的内容可知,在伦敦市的泰晤士河的洪泛区,有大约534,000处房产,其中的四分之一面临被淹的危险。部分原因是城市地表的吸收能力低。
4.B。考查标题判断。本文向读者介绍了英国伦敦市治理雨水泛滥的新举措,建造一道种植植物的墙。故选B项。
