答案与解析
1. D
much修饰不可数名词；several后跟可数名词的复数；plenty of后面跟不可数名词或可数名词的复数；some可以修饰可数名词单数，表示“某个，某一”。句意：他所做的事一定有某种理由。2. A
the reason作先行词，定语从句用why引导；the reason作主语，表语从句用that引导。句意：今天上午她缺课的原因是她得在家照料她生病的爷爷。
3. A
make an attempt to do sth.试图做某事。空格前面有never，所以应该选择A项。句意：她从来也不打算好好地把它擦干净。
4. B
attempt“尝试”；intention“意图，目的，打算”；purpose“目的”；desire“渴望”。根据句意选择B项。句意：雪莉仔细准备了她的英语考试，以便她能确信第一次尝试就可以通过。
5. B
combination是可数名词，意思是“联合体，结合体”，a combination of意思是“……的一个结合体”。故选择B项。句意：单词“motel”是“motor”和“hotel”的结合（体）。
6. C
due to“由于，因为”；owing to“由于”；thanks to“幸亏，归功于”；as to “谈到，关于”。句意：巴西第一次夺得了冠军，这应该感谢贝利（多亏了贝利）。故选择C项。
7. A
thanks to是一个固定搭配，这里用thanks to表示一种感激之情。
8. D
句意：幸亏我有先见之明，带了雨伞。根据句意选择D项。其他几个选项都表原因。
9. A
分析句子结构，可知空格处是状语，排除B、C两项。“足球成为世界上最受欢迎的体育运动”是80个国家踢足球产生的自然结果，前后有因果关系，故选择A项。
10. A
因difficult是形容词，修饰形容词要用连接副词。however（无论如何，不管多么），引导一个让步状语从句。
11. C
从句式结构可以把A项排除，因为在列举实例时for example前后都有逗号。在列举一系列事物时，通常用such as。
12. B
分析句式结构，可知选B项。句意：你能解决她提出的问题吗？
13. A
空格后面是一个句子，根据such…as这一固定搭配，选择A项。句意：他给的建议后来证明几乎毫无价值。
14. B
根据第一句话的时态，可知下一句是对过去情况的推测。再根据条件状语从句与主句的搭配，应该选择“情态动词+have+P.P.”结构，排除A、C两项。B项意思是“或许，大概”，D项表示将来完成，如果will换成would也可，故本题选择B项。句意： “她去年和父母去美国了。”“如果当时她不去那里，她或许会帮你一些忙的。”
15. B
根据前一句的时态，可知空格处是对过去情况的推测，排除A、C两项。B项表示“过去一定”，D项表示“过去本该做”，而事实上没做。根据句意选择B项。句意：“你听到电话响了吗？”“没有，我没有听到电话响，我一定是睡着了。”
16. C
由后半句句意“否则他会打电话给我的”可以推断出“杰克可能还没到”这一事实，表示对过去情况否定的推测应采用“can’t+have+P.P.”这一结构，故选择C项。

B篇
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
50. The main idea of the passage is that __________.
A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants around us D. we cannot live without water
51. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Plants can be divided into main types: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
B. All fruits have seeds in them
C. Seeds are protected by the fruits.
D. Some plants grow from spores.
52. The word “non-flowering ” in this passage means __________.
A. 开花的 B. 有花的 C. 多花的 D. 不开花的
53. In “shady” place there is __________.
A. a lot of sunshine B. a lot of water C. no water D. little sunshine
