3．Many questions ______ at the meeting held last week，but the manager answered none.

D．came up
解析：rise是不及物动词，不用被动语态；B项和C项都有“提出”的意思，但都是及物动词，必须用被动语态；come up“被提出”是不及物动词，只能用主动语态。句意：在上周开的会上提出了许多的问题，但经理一个也没有答复。
答案：D

—______.
A．I’d rather stay at home
B．Oh，no，let’s not
C．I’m very sorry，but I have other plans
D．Oh，no.That’ll be too much trouble
解析：考查交际用语。对别人的邀请表示拒绝时往往要礼貌一点，用“I’m sorry，but...”这一句型。而不会直接说“no”，这会不礼貌，让别人听了很不舒服。
答案：C
13．—Don’t you think it a good idea to go for an outing this afternoon?
—Yes，______！It can’t be better.
A．approximately
B．absolutely
C．relatively

答案：B
14．She asked “Do you know ______ he’s getting on well with his classmates？”
A．how
B．that
C．what
D．which
解析：句意：她问道：“他和同学们相处得很好你知道吗？”易错项A，句中有well修饰语作状语，不能再选用how。that引导的是宾语从句，陈述他跟同学相处得很好这件事，故B项正确。
答案：B
15．______ careful enough，the examinee made some careless mistakes in the college entrance exam.
A．Being not
B．Not being
C．He was not
D．Wasn’t
解析：现在分词的否定式作原因状语，not放于现在分词之前。从句中没有关联词语，因此不能选C项。句意：由于不够细心，那个考生在高考中出了好几处粗心错误。
答案：B
二、阅读理解
A
Every Saturday Zhang Junfeng hikes along the rivers of Beijing.He leads a particular kind of nature tour—pointing out signs of pollution.Zhang’s interest in Beijing’s rivers began in the early 1990s when he worked as a satellite engineer in Sichuan province for poverty alleviation(扶贫)，helping build roads in mountainous areas.By the time he started Happy Water Journeys，Zhang had already gained a knowledge of rivers through many driving trips between 2003 and 2007.“He sticks to the hikes along rivers every Saturday，even though nobody joins him on cold winter days or on the Chinese New Year，”said Wang Weiguo,49.
At times，Zhang uses his mobile phone to take pictures of the polluted water.But in comparison，the shortage of water is a problem far more serious than pollution.
So far his hiking trips have covered twothirds of the rivers in Beijing.He is also planning to make a detailed map of rivers in Beijing.“But it is a huge project with large quantities of statistics to be gathered，”Zhang said，adding that he can only work on the project during his spare time.
According to Zhang，not all the participants are environmentally active.“Some come to exercise，and some to socialize，”Zhang said.However，that does not matter to him.“I only want the participants to learn about nature and the environment，by seeing it with their own eyes and getting direct experience，”Zhang said.
Now，as a regular participant，Chen tells his family to protect water after seeing how water is drying up along the rivers.“I also tell my coworkers to stop drinking bottled water as one bottle of water requires five times that amount to produce，”Chen said.For Zhang，that is the reason why he continues the hikes.“Although I can’t make a living with this，I think it is well worth the effort.”
张俊峰每逢周末都去沿河旅行，目的是为了唤起人们对水的保护意识，几年间他徒步旅行观察河流污染和干涸情况，从未间断。
