1．
how others react to the book you have just read creates an added pleasure.(2017·浙江，7)
A．Hearing
B．Hear
C．Having heard
D．To be hearing
答案 A
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意为：听到别人对你刚读的一本书的反应会增加你的快乐感。“you have just read”为省略that或者which的定语从句，“creates an added pleasure”是谓语和宾语，空格处需要填一个可作主语的非谓语动词。B项为动词原形，不能作主语；C项是作状语的形式；D项表示将来进行的动作，不符合题意。A项为动名词，可作主语，故A项正确。
2．By 1630，

A．which
B．when
C．what
D．that
答案 A

3．—Goodbye，John.Come back again sometime.
—Sure.
.(2017·四川，3)
A．I did
B．I do
C．I shall
D．I will

it a thought.(2017·重庆，33)
A．does he even give
B．he even gives
C．will he even give
D．he will even give
答案 C
解析 句意为：校长将不允许改变课程，他甚至将不考虑这事。分析题干可知nor置于句首，后需用部分倒装结构，故可排除B、D两项；而A项用了一般现在时态，这与前句中的will不符合。故C为正确选项。
5．She has already tried her best.Please don’t be too
about her job.(2011·江西，33)
A．special
B．responsible
C．unusual
D．particular
答案 D

6．We’d better discuss everything
before we work out the plan.(2011·江苏，32)
A．in detail
B．in general
C．on purpose
D．on time
答案 A
解析 句意为：在制订计划之前我们最好详细地讨论一下各方面的事情。in detail详细地，详实地；in general通常，大体上，从总体上看；on purpose故意地；on time按时。只有“详细”讨论才能制订计划，故选A项。
7．Recently a survey
prices of the same goods in two different supermarkets has caused heated debate among citizens.(2011·江苏，31)
A．compared
B．comparing
C．compares
D．being compared
答案 B
解析 句意为：最近，在两家不同超市对相同商品进行的一次价格比较调查引起了市民热烈的讨论。分析句子结构可知，句子谓语动词为has caused，故空格处应为非谓语动词形式，来充当a survey的后置定语。a survey与compare之间存在主动关系，故用现在分词。现在分词短语“comparing prices of the same goods in two different supermarkets”相当于定语从句which/that compares...。
8．When asked about their opinions about the schoolmaster，many teachers would prefer to see him step aside
younger men.(2011·湖北，30)
A．in terms of
B．in need of
C．in favour of
D．in praise of
答案 C
解析 句意为：当被问及他们对校长的意见时，许多老师都希望看到他让位给年轻人。in terms of谈及，就……而言；in need of需要；in favour of支持，赞同；in praise of歌颂。根据句意可知应选C项。
9．—Everybody is going to climb the mountain.Can I go too，mom？
—
Wait till you are old enough，dear. (2010·全国，31)
A．Will you?
B．Why not?
C．I hope so.
D．I’m afraid not.
答案 D
解析 句意为：——每个人都要去登山。——妈妈，我也可以去吗？恐怕不能。得等到你足够大的时候，亲爱的。Will you？你要去吗？Why not？为什么不呢？I hope so.我希望如此。三者均不符合句意。应选D项“恐怕不能”。
10．
the city center，we saw a stone statue of about 10 meters in height.(2010·上海，35)
A．Approaching
B．Approached
C．To approach
D．To be approached
答案 A
解析 考查现在分词作状语，表示正在进行或主动的动作。此时分词的逻辑主语就是主句的主语，因此要注意人称、时态和语态的一致性。
.单项填空
1．—Have you moved into the new house?
—Not yet，the rooms
.
A．are being painted
B．are painting
C．are pained
D．are being painting

解析 the rooms 与paint之间是被动关系，由语境可知应使用现在进行时的被动语态。
2．—Excuse me，what can I do for you?
—Yes.I’d like to place
advertisement for
used car in your paper.
A．the；a
B．an；/
C．an；a
D．/；the
答案 C
解析 考查冠词。答句句意为：我想在你们的报纸上为一辆二手车登一则广告。两空皆为泛指，故答案为C项。
3．There are many things in different areas
we can do to reduce the possible danger of AIDS.
A．that
B．when
C．where
D．what
答案 A
解析 考查定语从句。从句中缺少动词do的宾语，故应用关系代词that。
4．University of Cambridge，
in 1209，is home to a great number of outstanding figures.
A．found
B．founding
C．founded
D．to be founded
答案 C
解析 考查非谓语动词。University of Cambridge和found之间为被动，且动作已完成，故用过去分词作定语。
5．Large quantities of water
into the machine to cool it down.
A．are pouring
B．is pouring
C．is being poured
D．are being poured
答案 D
解析 此处谓语动词的单复数要看量词quantity的形式来定。
6．—Someone is knocking at the door.Who
it be?
—It must be the milkman.
A．may
B．must
C．can
D．need
答案 C
解析 能用于疑问句中表示推测的情态动词只有can一个。
7．The Whites are living in a house
more than a century ago.
A．to be built
B．built
C．being built
D．having built
答案 B
解析 house与动词build之间应该是被动关系，且这座房子建于一个世纪以前，所以用过去分词作定语。
8．—Jacob was kicked out of the football team.
—
He drinks and smokes too much.
A．How come?
B．What for?
C．It can’t be true.
D．Not surprising.

his plan.
A．changed
B．would change
C．change
D．had changed
答案 C
解析 advice同位语从句应用虚拟语气。
10．Does
matter if an engineer is a man or a woman?
A．that
B．it
C．this
D．what
答案 B
解析 考查it的用法。it作形式主语，其他词不具备这个功能。

One cold，rainy evening last October，I was in the neurology ward desperately “hunting” for the final three patients I needed to complete my study.The records showed that there was a 43yearold stroke patient，whom I will call Ms A，in the ward.Holding a patient questionnaire，I went into her room.I asked how she was doing.She softly replied that she was getting better but the left side of her body was still weak.After I finished the questionnaire，I prepared to leave so I could go through more medical records.Before I could stand up，Ms A started making conversation，asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
Ms A started talking about herself.She told me she had three children in primary school，who were staying with a neighbor.Her husband died a year ago and she is the sole breadwinner of her family.I didn’t know what to say.I just sat quietly while she talked.Without realizing it，I had begun holding Ms A’s hand.
The conversation went on like this for about 20 minutes.A few days later，when I returned to the ward，I discovered that Ms A had been discharged as her condition had improved.
Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn.Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or stateoftheart technology.They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.
1．According to the first paragraph，the author
.
A．had already worked as a doctor
B．enjoyed talking with the patients
C．provided the patients with the pills
D．seldom visited the patients in hospital
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。第一段说作者读医学院时，前七个学期都在教室里学习，很少在医院的环境中与真正的病人说话，去年才开始在一家医院探视神经病房，并翻阅刚入院的中风病人的医疗记录，探望他们，以确保他们在服药。根据这些陈述可知选D。

A．The patient asked him to chat with her.
B．He wanted to accompany the patient.
C．It was his duty to take care of the patient.
D．He wanted to get some information from the patient.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。第二段说，当时“我”在病房里寻找最后的三名病人，以完成我的学业，后来，“我”拿着病人问卷表走进那个病人的房间，完成了问卷就准备走，以便去翻看更多的医疗记录。因此本题选D，他当时去病房是为了他的学业，为了从病人那里得到一些信息。
3．The underlined phrase “had been discharged” in Paragraph 4 is similar in meaning to
.
A．had been allowed to leave hospital
B．hadn’t needed to pay for her illness

.
A．communication with patients is essential for doctors
B．expensive medicine is necessary for patients to recover
C．high technology plays an important part in curing patients
D．doctor shouldn’t gain money by promoting the medicine
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。作者从这次的经历总结出，有时候病人需要的不是昂贵的药品而是有人愿意耐心地倾听他们，因此选A，“医生与病人的交流是很重要的”。
B
Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car stopped behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend’s.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership(经销商)—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words.They’re easy to say and mean so much.
5．We know that the purpose of the author is to express
.
A．thanks to others for their help
B．thanks to parents for their help
C．friendship to friends for their help

6．What is the old couple’s attitude toward their experience?

B．Meaningful.
C．Generous.
D．Responsible.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...helping me had made their holidays meaningful.”可得知答案为B。

A．Friendly Ford was a businessman I knew at that time.
B．I was fond of writing notes to others when I was happy or sad.
C．When I attended a meeting and left，I forgot to turn off my car’s lights.
D．When I was in trouble sometimes，I learn to get rid of it by means of money.
