　　Unit 1　A land of diversity

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．It never occurred to me ______ you could succeed in persuading him to change his mind.

　　A．whichB．what

　　C．that

　　D．if

　　解析 考查固定句型。It occurs/occurred to sb.that...是固定句型，意思是：某人突然想起……，其中that引导主语从句，故选C项。

　　答案 C

　　2．When you get the paper back，pay special attention to what ______.

　　A．have marked

　　B．have been marked

　　C．had marked

　　D．had been marked

　　解析 句意：当你拿回试卷时须特别注意已经标注过的部分。本题考查动词的时态，该句强调过去已经修改过的东西并强调对现在的影响，用现在完成时，又因其主语为what，所以用被动语态。故用现在完成时的被动语态。

　　答案 B

　　3．A teacher should make his lessons simple enough for the students to ______.

　　A．take off

　　B．take up

　　C．take in

　　D．take down

　　解析 考查词组辨析。句意：老师应该使他的课足够简单到让学生理解。take off起飞，成功；take up从事；take in吸收；take down记下。

　　4．When she visited the children’s home，it ______her that she could adopt a homeless child.

　　A．ran into

　　B．happened to

　　C．occurred to

　　D．was occurred to

　　解析 考查动词短语辨析。此处为句型It occurs to sb.that...某人突然想起……。A项表示“偶然感到”，不合句意。happen to sb.表示“某事发生在某人身上”，不合语境，故排除B项；occur不用于被动语态，故D项被排除。

　　答案 C

　　5．The ______ cause of his illness was extreme drinking，but the real cause was his deep sadness on his wife’s death.

　　A．major

　　B．apparentC．clear

　　D．serious

　　解析 句意：他的病表面上是因为过度饮酒，真实的原因是他妻子的去世使他过度悲伤。故选apparent“表面上的”。major意为“主要的”；clear意为“清楚的”；serious意为“严肃的，认真的”。

　　答案 B

　　6．There’s a camping shop in town that has tents for ______ at $10 a week.

　　A．hire

　　B．sale

　　C．employ

　　D．repair

　　解析 句意：镇上有一家宿营设备商店出租帐篷，价格一周10美元。根据“$10 a week”可知这是租用，不是sale出售；employ指“雇用”，跟人作宾语。

　　答案 A

　　7．The bell rang，______ that class was over.

　　B．indicating

　　C．indicated

　　D．having indicating

　　解析 indicate“表示，表明”。句意：铃响了，表示下课了。

　　B．on

　　C．to

　　D．with

　　答案 A

　　12．With a nod of his head，he ______ me where I should sit.

　　A．indicated to

　　B．indicated that

　　C．indicate to

　　D．indicate that

　　解析 indicate that后跟从句，不合题意。indicate to此处为“向某人暗示，向某人表明”。时态应用过去时或一般现在时，但C项没用单数。

　　答案 A

　　13．It’s believed that parks are to the city______lungs are to the body.

　　A．what

　　B．like

　　答案 A

　　A．is this the first time you are lying

　　B．this is the first time you have lied

　　C．this is the first time you tell a lie

　　D．is this the first time you have lied

　　答案 D

　　15．It suddenly ______ to the detective that the millionaire was probably murdered by his own daughter.

　　A．happened
