A.picked up
B.looked up
C.put up
D.made up

4.Don’t handle the vase as if it ________ made of steel.(2017·北京,35)
A.is
B.were
C.has been
D.had been
答案 B
解析 句意为:拿花瓶时不要当它是钢做的一样。as if引导的方式状语从句或表语从句中常用虚拟语气,表示与事实相反的情况;又由Don’t handle...可知此处应为与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,故B项正确。

A.being observed

3.The US troops ________ out of Iraq by the end of next month and they were sent there 9 years ago.
A.have withdrawn
B.will withdraw
C.had withdrawn
D.will have withdrawn

—Thanks a lot.And would you give me some advice on how to polish it?

B.to be unchecked
C.to check
D.unchecked

解析 考查非谓语动词。句意为:——你可能会犯更多的错误,如果你的文章不加检查的话。——非常感谢。你能给我一些如何修改它的建议吗?此处用过去分词unchecked 对your paper进行补充说明。
6.Try as you ________,he won’t listen to your advice on the potential dangers of smoking.
A.can
B.may
C.dare
D.will
答案 B
解析 考查情态动词的用法。在让步状语从句中,用may/might。句意为:尽管你尽力了,他还是不会听吸烟潜在危害的忠告的。
7.It’s helpful to put children in a situation ________they can see themselves differently.(2009·福建,24)
A.that

8.The poor man stood there,with his hands ________,________ his eyes upon the dark cave.
A.crossed;fixing
B.crossing;fixing
C.crossed;fixed
D.crossing;fixed
答案 A
解析 考查with的复合结构。“with+宾语+宾补”是with的复合结构。本题中cross是hands的补足语,二者构成被动关系,用过去分词;fix的发出者是the poor man,二者构成主动关系,故选A项。
9.________with what he had done,the public thought highly of him.
A.Delight
B.Delighting
C.Delighted
D.Being delighting

1. A.travel
B.country
C.language
D.people
答案 A

2. A.unless
B.if
C.although
D.since
答案 B
解析 如果一个人对出国旅游非常感兴趣并提前做好准备的话,那么出国游对他来说可能会有一定的教育意义。unless除非;although虽然;since自从,均不符合语境。故答案为B项。

D.useless
答案 A
解析 但是付出这样的努力后,得到的回报会在他到达国外后表现得很明显。根据下文内容可知,学习新语言有助于游客更好地在国外生活。故答案为A项。invisible看不见的;impossible不可能的;useless无用的,均与语境不符。
5. A.difficult
B.strange
C.wonderful
D.important
答案 D
解析 根据语境可知,当他舒服地待在家里时,掌握一门新语言显得没那么重要。difficult难的;strange陌生的;wonderful精彩的,均不符合语境。故答案为D项。

B.unimportant
C.useless
D.funny
答案 A
解析 但是,对于一个在陌生地方的游客来说,知道怎么订餐租房间是必要的。故答案为A项。
7. A.recognize

答案 B
解析 对于游客来说,了解一国的语言确实很重要。全文一直强调语言在旅游过程中的重要性。故答案为B项。
.阅读理解
According to the US Geological Survey,about seven million earthquakes strike worldwide every year—but fortunately,only about 1,500 of these are of a magnitude(震级) of 5 or greater on the Richter scale.Certain areas,such as California and Japan,are more prone_to earthquakes than others.Although the chance of being caught in “The Big One” is remote,it’s wise to be prepared if you live in a region where earthquakes are common.
Educate your family about earthquakes before a big one strikes.For example,they need to know to take shelter in a doorway or under a strong object if indoors,and never to run outdoors if they are inside.If outside,they need to know to stay away from power lines and buildings where objects could fall.
Teach family members how to turn off gas or water lines or electrical power that may need to be shut off after a quake if severe damage occurs.
Develop a plan.Where will your family meet in the event of a disaster?What if some people are at work or school?How will you know if they are safe?Where will you all meet up?
Pack a preparedness kit(衣物装备) and keep it in a safe location.In a major earthquake,it’s possible that you won’t be able to get into your house.Keep supplies in your car trunk or an outside storage shed if possible.Pack whatever your family is likely to need,enough for three days to a week,including food,water,medication,first aid and personal hygiene supplies,flashlights,a portable radio,blankets,clothes and shoes,cash,or camp stove,candles,matches or lighters,and a whistle.
Consider earthquake insurance for your home if you live in an earthquakeprone area.Regular homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover earthquake damage.
1.The underlined words “prone to” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”.
A.likely to suffer from
B.frequent to explore
C.quick to discover
D.impossible to experience
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句中的“...a region where earthquakes are common.”及最后一段中的in an earthquakeprone area可推知,prone意为“易于发生某事的”,因此四个选项中只有A项能够取代画线词。
2.According to the passage,if you are outside in an earthquake,you should________.
A.stay where you are
B.hide under a big tree
C.avoid power lines
D.sit on the ground
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,如果地震时你在室外,你应该远离电线或建筑物,故选C项。
3.We can learn from the passage that________.
A.about 1,500 earthquakes happen every year
