1.At this moment,I cannot give you an answer yet.I’d like to spend __________ more time considering this problem.
A.ratherB.fairly
C.no
D.really
解析:选A。句意:“目前,我还不能给你答复,我需要更多的时间来考虑这个问题。”四个选项中只有rather可用以修饰比较级。
2.The animals that are having winter sleep look __________ dead.You can’t wake them up by touching.
A.as well as
B.as good as
C.as far as
D.as soon as
解析:选B。句意:那些冬眠的动物看起来就像死的一样,你不能把它们摸醒。as good as和as well as都表示“和……一样”,但在系动词look后应跟形容词。
3.Of the two coats,I’d choose the __________ one to spare some money for a book.
A.cheapest
B.cheaper
C.more expensive
D.most expensive
解析:选B。两个事物进行对比时应用比较级。既然要留些钱买书自然是买便宜点的。
4.—Are you satisfied with her answer?
—Not at all.It couldn’t have been __________.
A.worse
B.so bad
C.better
D.the worst
解析:选A。根据“Not at all.”可知回答者对她的回答不满意,后面在否定句中使用比较级,表示最高级含义。答语意思是:一点也不满意,它再差不过了。
5.The expedition set off for the destination at 7 sharp in the morning,by________time the rain had stopped.
A.whose
B.that
C.what
D.which
解析:选D。考查定语从句。在介词后作定语的关系代词有whose和which这两个词。判断的关键是看先行词与关系代词后的名词是所属关系还是同位关系,是所属关系时用whose,是同位关系时用which,time与先行词7 sharp之间为同位关系,故答案为D。
6.Bill Gates,the emperor of the Microsoft world,________is said to be worth $59.2 billion,has been the world’s wealthiest man for the last 13 years.
A.where
B.which
C.who
D.whom
解析:选C。考查定语从句。Bill Gates是句子的主语,也是定语从句的主语。而the emperor of the Microsoft world是Bill Gates的同位语,所以应该用who来指代先行词Bill Gates。
7.Obama promised in the presidential race to lower the tax rate for those________ annual income is below $250,000.
A.which
B.that
C.whose
D.their
解析:选C。考查定语从句。whose引导一个定语从句,修饰those。
8.Rowley was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others,________,of course,made the others envy him.
A.who
B.that
C.what
D.which
解析:选D。考查定语从句的引导词。此处关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整句话的内容,在定语从句中作主语。
9.To protect the environment,________we common people can do is to cut back on the amount of energy we use every day.
A.whichever
B.all that
C.no matter what
D.everything what
解析:选B。在题干中,从空白处到do为主语,do后缺少宾语,再结合句意可知应选B。all作主语,后跟定语从句that we common people can do,that在从句中作do的宾语,也可被省略。空白处也可填what,构成主语从句what we common people can do。
10.You’d better not leave the medicine __________ kids can get at it.
A.even if
B.which
C.where
D.so that
解析:选C。句意:你最好不要把药放在孩子们够得着的地方。本题考查where引导的地点状语从句,本句相当于:You’d better not leave the medicine in the_place where kids can get at it.(此处where引导的是定语从句,先行词为the place;这也是选项B不合适的原因。)

A.signal
B.sign
C.signature

4.They were walking around the town________a place for a party.
A.in search of
B.to search
C.searching
D.searched for
解析:选A。句意:他们在小镇里到处走以找一个地方开晚会。in search of a place for a party在句中作状语。search意为“搜查”,与句意不符。

A.to look after
B.being looked after
C.to be looked after

6.________and guilty,Maggie put the book back on the shelf she had secretly placed in her schoolbag.
A.Frightened
B.Frightening
C.Being frightened
D.To be frightening
解析:选A。句意:因感到害怕和愧疚,Maggie把偷偷塞到书包里的那本书又放回了书架。形容词作状语,表示谓语的动作发生时,主语所处的状态。Maggie感到恐惧,所以用frightened,意为“感到恐惧的”。frightening意为“令人恐惧的”。

12.—Do you think it’s a good idea to make friends with your students?

(2017·黑龙江试题调研)I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play.Mrs.Dermitt,my drama teacher,had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a comedy.Luckily for me,she thought that I could handle the __1__.

Of course,I was terribly disappointed to have__19__my chance in the spotlight,but I was extremely__20__to have such a good friend.
1.A.partB.play
C.comedy
D.things
解析:选A。根据上文的when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play中的role可知,该处用part表示角色。
2.A.calmly
B.seriously
C.excitedly
D.anxiously
解析:选C。由文章首句及下文Kevin帮我准备这一角色的时候,He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips可知,他也对这部话剧很感兴趣,可以知道C项(兴奋地)合理。
3.A.elected
B.chosen
C.invited
D.trained
解析:选B。choose sb.for/as...表“选某人为……”,为固定表达。
4.A.upset
B.bored
C.nervous

5.A.count on
B.compete against
C.talk with
D.agree with
解析:选A。count on指望,依赖;compete against与……竞争;talk with与某人谈话;agree with同意某人。依据文章的语境可知,作者是信赖这个朋友的。
6.A.joined
B.led
C.took
D.made

7.A.also

8.A.expected
B.debated
C.agreed
D.joked
解析:选D。由文章第一段可知,老师让我演该角色,所以让朋友演我的角色只能是玩笑话。
9.A.final
B.special
C.opening
D.greeting
解析:选C。依据下文everything was ready for the performance可知,一切都准备好了,就等待开演。很明显是在距开演还有三天时发生的事情。

C.in D.by
解析:选A。考查介词的搭配。表“患……病”之意时,须用介词with。故答案为A。
11.A.change
B.turn
C.stop
D.end
解析:选C。come to a stop表“停止;终止”之意。而come to an end则表示“结束”之意,常表某事情发生了之后,要结束。由文章叙述可知,因为作者发烧嗓子坏了,当然整场戏看起来是演不成了,当然是“终止,停止”之意。
12.A.for
B.but
C.and
D.so
解析:选A。后文的there was no way I could perform与前文大家都很着急之间是因果关系,for在这里引导原因状语从句,表显而易见的原因。
13.A.likely
B.ready
C.sure
D.due
解析:选D。该句意为:这场戏离预定的开演时间不到6个小时了,无法取消了。be due to表“按照预先安排做某事”之意。
14.A.pass
B.help
C.care
D.face
解析:选B。该语境中作者是要想个好办法来挽救这件事情,故用help表挽救之意,其他答案均没有该意思。
15.A.steps
B.lines
C.points
D.cases
解析:选B。由第四段第三句可知,Kevin对台词很熟悉。
16.A.introduction
B.instruction
C.explanation
D.suggestion
解析:选D。上文作者在想办法解决这个问题,现在想到了这个主意,当然是向老师提出这个建议。
17.A.scanned
B.grasped
C.practiced
D.presented
解析:选C。依据文章第四段可以得知Kevin跟作者一起练习了很多遍台词。
18.A.valued
B.saved
C.left
D.kept
解析:选B。很明显,这一天的演出很成功,而上文提及如果作者不能演这场戏,又找不到解决的办法,那这场戏就会砸锅的,现在Kevin演得很好,自然是挽救了剧组所有的人。
19.A.offered
B.avoided
C.risked
D.missed
解析:选D。依上文叙述可知,作者因病没有出演自己的角色,当然是“错过了”。
20.A.successful
B.thankful
C.trustful

解析:选B。尽管自己因为患病错过了演出机会,但有这样一位好朋友代替自己演得如此之好,当然应该庆幸、感激。

Dr.Julie Coulton, a British psychologist,focuses her research on the extraordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that playing outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.
Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergartens to assure the small a playground outside.Recent statistics (数据) and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.
As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses.Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don’t know what to do anymore to make their children eat healthy and balanced.
Children need a space where to develop their creativity and parents should encourage them all the time.Too many rules hold back the child’s personality and creativity and prevent them to develop the desire to know, to find out, to learn.
If you tell your child so many times: “Don’t do that, don’t mess the room, don’t go there ...”, he will lose the desire to do something, anything.Parents must watch their children without suffocating (窒息) them.Should you consider they mustn’t do that or this, you have to logically explain them your reasons and they will understand.
Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take decisions.Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child.Playing lets your children learn how to express his feelings.
【解题导语】 本文报道了英国两位医生的最新研究成果——玩有益于孩子的健康成长。文章将就此展开讨论。

A.most parents pay no attention to their children’s playing

解析:选D。事实细节题。根据第二段最后一句“Recent statistics(数据)and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.”可知。alarming表明数据让人担忧。
2.Children who watch TV or surf the Internet too much may suffer all the following EXCEPT ________.
A.eye problems
B.weight problems
C.lack of creativity
D.lack of interest in their lessons
解析:选D。正误判断题。根据第三段可知A和B正确。C由第四段首句可推知,D没有依据。
3.The author advises us ________.
A.to allow children to do whatever we want them to do
B.never to forbid children to do anything they want to do
C.to explain why when you don’t let children do something

Good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life.We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life.There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship.The following are some major key players in making relationships work.
It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication.Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting some things that are better left unsaid.I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make.From study to work, from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friend that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.
Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him all the time.You and your friend come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there.However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end.Again, good communication and learning to compromise (妥协) at times are essential.
As the relationship lasts longer, you may also discover things about you and your friend that you may not have known before.Therefore, supporting each other on both your “hidden selves” can also make a good relationship.
Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.
