答案与解析
1.D
考查so…that和such…that的辨析。句意：长城是那么一个著名的旅游名胜以至于每年有数百万的人涌到这里。well-known为复合形容词，意为“著名的”，so+ adj./adv.+ that；such
+ a/an（adj.）+ n.+ that，都表示“太……以至于……”；故选D。
2.C
考查合成代词的用法。句意：在你离开之前你要确认你已拿到护照、票和一切相关的东西。用everything表示所有一切出国时需要带的东西；而something表示某件东西，只指一件；anything任何东西，没有范围限制。故选C。
3.A
在“可数名词+介词（短语）”构成的复合名词中，复数形式在名词部分后加-s，passer-by的复数形式只能是passers-by，这样的词还有editor(s)-in-chief“总编辑”，sister(s)-in-law“嫂子”，prisoner(s)-of-war“战犯”等。故选A。
4.A
句意：使这儿的来宾印象非常深刻的是，来自各行各业的人都在为建设一个新江苏而努力工作。集体名词people表示泛指，前面不用冠词；第二个空指“一个新江苏”，专有名词Jiangsu前有形容词new，要加不定冠词，指具有某种性质的物（或者人）。故选A。
5.B
句意：对于人们来说，欣赏带给他们快乐的上海世博会是一种美好的感觉。feeling指伤心或快乐的感觉时通常用作可数名词；pleasure“愉快，高兴”，为抽象名词，通常用作不可数名词。故选B。
6. B
句意：太空中有超过58 000块岩状物体，其中大约有900块可能掉到地球上。in space是固定短语，不用冠词，第二空名词earth属于独一无二的事物名词，其前必须用定冠词the，故选B。
7. C
句意：如果我们坐在汽车的前部，我们就会看得更清楚。第一个空the front of the bus指公共汽车内部的前面，此处用the来限定范围；have a better view看得更清楚。故选C。
8.D
most countries此处表示泛指，most前不加冠词；start在句中的意思是“起点”，为可数名词，故选D。
9.B
第一个空格中的do harm to为固定搭配，中间不用冠词，第二个空格后由于有of引导的后置定语，所以weakening前加the予以限定。故选B。
10. D
句意：任何事情都是要付出代价的，在这个世界上并没有免费的午餐。price是可数名词单数形式，表泛指需要加不定冠词a；no such thing是固定搭配，不用冠词，结构为no such+名词（no such person，no such book），故选D。
11.B
考查冠词用法。go to the cinema与for a while均为习惯搭配，分别指“去看电影”“一会儿”，故选B。
12.B
考查冠词用法。前一空不可数名词attention表泛指意义，故不用冠词；后一空用a表数量，故选B。
13.C
考查冠词用法。前一空用the构成形容词最高级；后一空用the表示特指。故选C。
14.C
考查冠词用法。该句是感叹句。What a pity that…为固定句型，意为“……真遗憾”，所以第一空用不定冠词a；第二空依据语境应该是谈话双方都知道的事物，所以用定冠词the。故选C。
15.A
考查冠词用法。前一空后air pollution是抽象名词表泛指意义，故不用冠词；后一空的weather特指全球的气候，故用the修饰。
16.B
考查冠词用法。前一空用a表泛指意义；后一空序数词前用不定冠词表示“另一，再一”之意。符合英语表达习惯。
17.D
考查冠词用法。前一空用the特指双方都知道的对象；后一空用a指数量，表泛指意义。
18.A
句意：如果我们不创造一个减少环境污染的世界，我们永远不会期望拥有一个更蓝的天空。sky，world为可数名词且表示泛指，所以都用不定冠词修饰。故选A。
19.D
考查名词的固定搭配与冠词的使用。go for a walk为习惯搭配，意为“出去散步”，第二空表特指意义，特指用来散步的精力。
20.C
考查冠词。句意：有一个来自说英语的国家的网友帮我学习英语真是太好了。fun为不可数名词，故前面什么也不填；第二个空后为元音音素，故应填an。
21.B
warm-hearted为合成形容词，表示“热情的、热心肠的”。

名师点评
本文讲述了一个聪明的小男孩的故事。他要求加入一位富人的旅行，在得到同意后 选择担子时，看似愚蠢地选择了最大、最重的担子。而这恰恰就是他的聪明之处，因为他所挑的面包在途中是被边走边吃的，到达目的地时已所剩无几。阅读这故选foolish。篇文章时要注意句子的整体理解，如第8、9、10这三题。
答案简析
1. B。这位富人不仅带了东西去卖，而且带钱去“买”东西。解这道题时要注意将句中and前后的内容进行比较。
2. A。根据他的想法，他“决定”要带十个仆人。这件事完全可以由他自己决定，所以没有必要“希望带……”或“努力带……”，故C、D不合题意。
3. C。carry在句中意为“携带、运送”；take 意为“带走”；bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。
4. B。参照第3题。
5. D。一个小男孩来找这位富人，要求和他们一起走，故选 the rich man。
6. C。参照第5题。
7. A。富人同意小男孩随行。
8. D。此句和上文是转折关系,意为“但是你是我的仆人中最小的、最瘦的、最弱的一个，你不能挑重担”，故选but。
9. C。参照第8题。
10. A。参照第8题。
11. B。此句意为“你要选择挑最轻的担子”，“pick up”意为“捡起”，不合文意，故选choose。
12. D。主人看到这个小仆人选择了最重的担子，感到他很“愚蠢”，故选foolish。。
13. B。听了主人的话，小男孩“什么也没说”，而是高兴地挑起了担
子。
14. C。由于小男孩的聪明，“除了”他自己，其他仆人都累坏了。
15. D。Do you know why? 用在文章最后用来引出原因，告诉读者其中的奥妙。

56—59 AACD
Amy Tan, the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants, received the Commonwealth Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work of novel, the best-selling Joy Luck Club. The sixteen interrelated stories that make up the work switch between the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters, in an exploration of the generational and cultural tensions experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants.
Tan's parents, like many immigrants, had high expectations for their children and often set confusing standards, expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English, excellent at school, and take advantage of every chance that might lead to success. Tan, however, rebelled against her parents' expectations, which included such respected professions as neurosurgery, and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a novelist.
Tan got a bachelor's degree in English and linguistics and a master's degree in linguistics and finally established herself as a highly successful business writer. Tan, however, was not satisfied in spite of her material success. Turning to her life-long dream, she wrote her first short story, "Endgame," and then a second, "Waiting between the Trees." In 1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother, a trip that proved to be a turning point in her life and career. Tan felt a sense of completeness, a link with the country and its culture that she had never expected. Returning from China, Tan was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from a publisher. Tan closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club. It was a resounding success, well received by the critics and appearing on the New York Times bestseller list. It has been translated into 17 languages, including Chinese, and was made into a movie in 1993.
46. What is the author's main purpose in this passage?
A. To analyze Amy Tan’s literary works
B. To support Amy Tan's decision to become a novel writer

47. In the 2nd sentence of Paragraph 1, the words "the work" refer to
A. stories
B. writing
C. Commonwealth Club Gold Award
D. Joy Luck Club
48. Before becoming a novel writer, Amy Tan was a successful
A. business writer
B. publisher
C. English teacher
D. neurosurgeon
49. The expectations of Tan's parents included all of the following EXCEPT
A. being excellent at school
B. speaking perfect English
C. questioning tradition
D. choosing an important profession
50. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. Tan's parents understood her difficult situation but wanted the best for her
