Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1．He was worried, because he lost his bag ________(contain) his passport，ID card and a lot of money.
答案：containing 句意：他很担心，因为他丢了装有护照、身份证和一大笔钱的包。contain表示“装有”，与bag构成逻辑上的主谓关系，因此应该用containing。
2．His explanation that he is at ________ loss what to do next doesn't hold water.
答案：a 考查冠词。句意：他对接下来该做什么感到困惑的解释说不通。at a loss意为“困惑，不知所措”，为固定短语。
3．It was mainly for the environmental protection ________ the government decided to have a new city built 600 miles northwest of the original one.
答案：that 考查强调句式。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who”结构，本题强调的是mainly for the environmental protection，因此用that。
4．________ he could call the police, the thieves had run away with the suitcase，leaving him shocked and helpless.
答案：Before 考查连词。句意：他还没来得及打电话报警，小偷已经带着手提箱逃跑了，这使他感到震惊与无助。根据句意可知，A项before“在……发生以前”正确。
5．I'd appreciate ________ if you could come and help me once more and I always appreciate ________(help) me with my English in the past.
答案：it；helping 考查appreciate的用法。I'd appreciate it if...为固定结构，意为“假如……，我将不胜感激”；appreciate后可以跟动名词作宾语。
6．With his attention ________(fix) on his mobile phone, he didn't notice his headteacher's appearance.
答案：fixed 考查with的复合结构。句意：他只顾看自己的手机，没有注意到班主任老师的出现。“with＋名词/代词＋分词/形容词/副词/介词短语”为with的复合结构，在句子中作状语，表行为方式、伴随、时间等。固定搭配：fix one's attention on sth.集中注意力于……，为固定搭配，本题中attention与fix构成动宾关系，故应用过去分词。
7．(2017·陕西改编)Hot ________
the night air was, we slept deeply because we were so tired after the long journey.
答案：as/though 句意：虽然晚上很热，但因长途旅行之后很累，我们睡得很沉。as/though“虽然”，引导让步状语从句时，要将表语、状语或动词原形置于句首。
8．There are several ways ________ we can cross the river without the help of local villagers.
答案：that 考查定语从句。句意为：在没有当地村民的帮助下，我们有几种过河的方法。分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，in which引导定语从句，在从句中作方式状语，修饰先行词ways。注：在定语从句中，当先行词是way时，定语从句的引导词可用in which ，that或省略关系词。

Tony Burke, Australia's environment
minister,
says
he won't
decide
until
next
year whether the koala
should
be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October.
But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala's population.
In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala's population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合条件) for listing as a threatened species，”said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon (偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”
The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of Australia.
And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings' development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads. Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news，”said Debbie Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We've worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations，”Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”
However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland—the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm's way.
Some people say that is not enough. “What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction，” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.
“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal，” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”
But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians' memories.

A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little use

(2017·新课标)
Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?
In 1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio. It __1__(be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it __2__(actual) caught fire and burned. Now, years later, this river is one of __3__ most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.
But the river wasn't changed in a few days __4__ even a few months. It took years of work __5__(reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is __6__(clean) than ever.
Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit __7__ is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?
While there are __8__(amaze)stories of instant transformation, for most of us the __9__(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be __10__(patience)
文章大意：曾经重度污染的河流再次清澈。当你感觉到什么事情是不可能实现的时候，继续努力，耐心一些，你就一定会成功。
答案：
1．was 时间是在1969年，显然要用一般过去时态。
2．actually 由语境可知，此处要用副词修饰catch，故填actual的副词形式actually。
3．the 此处是跟outstanding一起构成形容词的最高级的，前面需加定冠词the。
4．or 此处表示“河流在几天里或者甚至是几个月里都改变不了”，表示选择，要用并列连词or。
5．to reduce 分析结构可知，此处是 It takes some time to do sth.结构，意为“花费多长时间干某事”。
6．cleaner 由than可知，此处要填clean的比较级。
7．that/which 分析结构可知，此处habit为定语从句的先行词，为限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，用that/which引导。
8．amazing 修饰名词stories要用amazing，指“令人吃惊的”。
9．changes 由空后面的are可知，此处要用名词复数。
10．patient be patient耐心点，形容词patient作表语。
