Ⅰ.单项填空
1．Studying Wendy’s menu, I found that many of the items are similar to________of McDonald’s.(2017·浙江，5)
A．those
B．ones
C．any
D．all
答案 A
解析 those＝that ones, 代指前面的many of the items，表示复数、特指，被of McDonald’s修饰，符合语境。ones表示复数、泛指；any任何一个；all全部，均不符合语境。
2．I got this bicycle for ________：My friend gave it to me when she bought a new one.(2011·大纲全国Ⅱ，11)
A．everything
B．something
C．anything
D．nothing
答案 D
解析 句意为：我这辆自行车一分钱也没花：我的朋友买了一辆新的，就把她这辆给了我。for nothing不花钱，免费。
3．—Silly me！I forget what my luggage looks like.
—What do you think of ________ over there？(2011·重庆，27)
A．the one
B．this
C．it
D．that
答案 D
解析 句意为：——我真傻！我忘了我的行李什么样了。——你觉得那边的那个是你的吗？根据句中的over there可知此处指远处，故用that；the one特指“同类中的一个”，用于指代可数名词，而luggage不可数；this常指近处；it指代“同一物”，均不符合题意。
4．There is ________ in his words.We should have a try.(2011·四川，3)
A．something
B．anything
C．nothing
D．everything
答案 A
解析 句意为：他话里有话。我们应该试试。something某物，某事，符合句意。anything任何(事物)；nothing没有任何(事物)；everything一切(事物)，三者均不符合句意。
5．The two girls are so alike that strangers find ________ difficult to tell one from the other.(2011·山东，24)
A．it
B．them
C．her
D．that
答案 A
解析 句意为：这两个女孩长得如此相像，以致于陌生人觉得很难把她们区分开。本句中it用在find后作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式短语to tell one from the other。them，her，that等词均不能作形式宾语或形式主语。
6．Since people are fond of humor，it is as welcome in conversation as ________ else.(2011·浙江，7)
A．anything
B．something
C．anywhere
D．somewhere
答案 C
解析 anything无论什么东西，随便什么东西；something某物，某个东西；anywhere在任何地方，随便哪个地方；somewhere在某处，在某地。句意为：因为人们喜欢幽默，在谈话或其他________幽默都受欢迎。else表示“其他的，另外的”，anywhere else表示“其他的任何地方”，表达肯定意义，所以选择C项。
7．—Would you like tea or coffee?
—________，thank you.I’ve just had some water.
(2011·辽宁，27)
A．Either
B．Both
C．Any
D．Neither
答案 D
解析 句意为：——你是想喝茶还是咖啡？——________，谢谢你。我刚刚喝了一些水。根据句意，此处应该是拒绝请求，什么也不喝，因为是两者全部否定，所以选neither。either两者之间任何一个；both两者都；any任何一个，均与题意不符。
8．We have various summer camps for your holidays.You can choose________based on your own interests.(2011·福建，21)
A．either
B．each
C．one
D．it
答案 C
解析 句意为：我们有各种各样的暑期夏令营，你可以根据自己的兴趣选择一个。either两者中任何一个；each每一个；one一个，为泛指，泛指同类事物或人中的某一个；it为特指，特指上文提到的某人或者某事物。根据语境可知，此处应是表示泛指的某一个，在此泛指上句提到的various summer camps中的某一个。故选C项。
9．Surprisingly，Susan’s beautiful hair reached below her knees and made________almost an overcoat for her.
(2011·安徽，22)
A．them
B．her
C．itself
D．herself
答案 C
解析 句意为：令人惊讶的是，苏珊美丽的长发一直垂到她的膝盖之下，使它看起来像是她的一件大衣。them他/她/它们；her她；itself它自己；herself她自己。因为主语是Susan’s beautiful hair，所以made后的反身代词是指“头发本身”，故选itself。
10．The employment rate has continued to rise in big cities thanks to the efforts of the local governments to increase________.
(2011·北京，34)
A．them
B．those
C．it
D．that
答案 C
解析 句意为：由于当地政府(为增加就业率)所做的努力，大城市的就业率持续攀高。根据句意可知，本题中的代词应该指代上文提到过的名词the employment rate，根据代词的用法可知选项C正确。A项指代复数名词；B项指代可数名词复数；D项指代上文意思。
11．—Have you finished your report?
—No，I’ll finish it in ________ ten minutes.
A．another
B．other
C．more
D．each
答案 A
解析 此处another表示“又……，再……”。根据语境可知，报告没有完成，再有10分钟才能完成，故答案为A项。
12．—Which tie would you prefer，the black tie or the red one，Madam?
—I’ll take ________ to have a change sometimes.
A．neither
B．none
C．either
D．both
答案 D
解析 根据对话中的“the black tie or the red one”和“have a change”可判断出“两者都要”，故答案为D项。
13．What？________ to go there with ________？No!
A．I；him
B．I；he
C．Me；him
D．Me；himself
答案 C
解析 句意为：什么？让我和他一起去那儿？不行！在表示惊奇、反诘、否定、轻蔑、不满和厌烦等感情色彩中，常用宾格人称代词，故第一空用me；第二空前有介词with，所以用宾格作它的宾语。
14．The factory produced many famous cars，none of ________ shipped to foreign countries.
A．them
B．which
C．it
D．what
答案 A
解析 句意为：这家工厂生产了很多名车，但没有一辆被运到国外去。them指代前面的cars，此题容易误认为是一个非限制性定语从句。但此处shipped是一个过去分词，逗号后面的部分是一个独立主格结构。如果在shipped前面加was，则应该选B项，构成非限制性定语从句。
15．I spent the whole day repairing the motorbike.The work was ________ simple.
A．nothing but
B．anything but
C．something of
D．all except
答案 B
解析 句意为：我花了一整天修理摩托车，这可不是件简单的活。anything but一点也不，符合题意。nothing but相当于only，意为“正是，只是”；something of有几分，在某种程度上；all except除了……所有的都。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
On a sunny day last August，Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a
couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12yearold boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalls(回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point，I considered turning back，”he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the pier(码头)，”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward，waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？”he cried.“A little bit，” the boys said.
Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
“Are we almost there？”they asked again and again.“Yes，”Tim told them each time.
