1.(2017·山东高考)Be______—you can’t expect me to finish all this work in so little time.
A.reasonableB.confident
C.creative
D.grateful
解析:考查形容词辨析。A项reasonable表示“合理的;公平的”;B项confident表示“自信的”;C项creative表示“有创造力的;创造性的”;D项grateful表示“感激的”。由破折号后面的关键信息可知说话者对“finish all this work in so little time”很不满,要求讲道理。be reasonable为祈使语气,意为“要讲道理”。句意:要讲道理——你不能期望我在如此短的时间里完成所有这些工作呀。
答案:A
2.(2017·大纲全国高考Ⅱ)We______to paint the whole house but finished only the front part that day.
A.set about
B.set up
C.set out
D.set down
解析:句意:我们开始着手粉刷整个房子,但是那天只完成了前面部分。set about意为“动身,开始做(后跟v.ing形式)”;set up意为“建立,搭建”;set out意为“动身出发,开始做,着手做(后接不定式)”;set down意为“记下”。根据句意和此空后是不定式“to paint”知选C项。
答案:C
3.(2017·北京高考)We______the difficulty together,but why didn’t you tell me?
A.should face
B.might face
C.could have faced
D.must have faced
解析:句意:我们原本可以一起面对困难的,可是,你为什么不告诉我呢?由but和didn’t可知,此处是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,与过去事实相反的虚拟语气的主句形式为could/would/should/might have done,所以C项正确。A项和B项都是与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,可排除;D项表示推测,故排除。
答案:C
4.(2017·辽宁高考)The old couple often take a walk after supper in the park with their pet dog______them.
A.to follow
B.following
C.followed
D.follows
解析:考查with复合结构。分析dog与follow之间的关系我们知道,follow的动作是dog发出的,因此是主动关系,这样排除C项;动词不定式表达将来的动作,而此处表达的是伴随发生的动作,因此排除A项。句意:晚饭后这对老夫妻经常在公园里散步,他们的宠物狗跟在他们后面。
答案:B
6.(2017·黄冈模拟)To their disappointment,the couple______the house but couldn’t find the missing ring,which was to bring them into great trouble.
A.got through
B.went through
C.lived through
D.looked through
解析:考查动词词组的辨析。句意:令他们失望的是,这对夫妇仔细检查了这所房子,却没有找到注定会让他们陷入极大的困境的丢失的戒指。get through通过;完成;接通电话;go through经历;经受;仔细检查;live through度过;经受住;look through浏览;温习。故本题选B项。
答案:B

A.Suffered
B.Suffering
C.Having suffered
D.Being suffered
解析:考查非谓语动词用法。suffer与Professor White构成主动关系,故排除A、D两项;又因为两个动作有明显的先后顺序,故用完成时,答案应为C项。
答案:C

12.There have been several new events______to the program for 2008 Olympic Games.
A.add
B.to add
C.adding
D.added
解析:句意:2008年北京奥运会已增添了几项新的比赛项目。考生首先应判断出There be 结构:There+be (谓语)+名词(主语)+to do/doing/done(非谓语动词作定语修饰前面的名词)。其次,新的比赛项目是被添加到2008奥运项目中了,所以应使用过去分词表被动,相当于There have been several new events which are added to the program...。
