　　A.Based

　　B.Basing

　　C.Base

　　D.To base

　　解析:选B。考查非谓语动词。前后两部分之间没有连词且用逗号连接，因此空格处只能填非谓语动词形式，可首先排除C项。主语you与base之间为主动关系，应使用主动形式，A项可排除。动词不定式只能作目的状语，或与only一起表示意外的结果。根据语意可知逗号之前的内容表示条件，故空格处应使用现在分词形式。句意:如果你把重要决定更多地建立在情感而不是理性基础上，你迟早会后悔的。

　　D.to live

　　解析:选B。句意:在那所贫困学校，人们发现10至12个学生住在一间屋子里。本题考查非谓语动词作主语补足语。首先排除A项，因为A项为谓语动词，不作主语补足语；主语as many as ten or twelve pupils与live为逻辑上的主动关系，故排除C项；在“find＋宾语＋宾补”结构中，宾语与宾补为逻辑上的主动关系时，往往用现在分词作宾补，故答案为B项。

　　A.with

　　B.to

　　C.at

　　D.on

　　解析:选B。be related to...常用词组，意为“与……有关”。

　　(2016·原创)Shock account of Bin Laden’s death

　　A new version of the killing of al-Qaeda(基地组织) terror chief Osama Bin Laden calls into question the official White House version of events.

　　Bin Laden died inside a walled compound in the Pakistani garrison town(有驻防的城市)of Abbottabad, outside Islamabad.His death came after a ten-year search by US intelligence teams following al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks on the US，and was immediately greeted as a triumph by President Barack Obama’s administration.

　　It also provided the US with a chance to declare victory in its War on Terror. But details released this week from Mr Pfarrer’s new book claims the reality was rather different, and that by announcing the death of the terrorist leader so quickly the US missed a chance to use intelligence seized during the raid that could have led them to other al-Qaeda leaders. Bin Laden was armed when he was killed by US Navy Seal commandos(突击队)and it took 90 seconds, not 45 minutes，to kill him，Mr Pfarrer claims，based on interviews with the Seals involved in the operation.

　　He also claims Bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri，set up Bin Laden by repeatedly sending to his hideout in Abbottabad a courier(通讯员)who had been questioned by the CIA.

　　“Despite knowing that this operative was blown,_Zawahiri used Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti to make repeated trips to Bin Laden’s compound，” Mr Pfarrer claims in his book.“Based on this accumulation of information，one can draw the conclusion that it was Zawahiri who led the US to Bin Laden’s hiding place in Abbottabad，accomplishing this through a complex and persistent series of loss in security.”

　　1. Which of the following is NOT in accordance with the passage ?

　　A.Mr Pfarrer’s new book makes people question White House’s version on Bin Laden’s death.

　　B.Bin Laden died inside a walled compound of the inner Islamabad.

　　C.Bin Laden’s death was hailed as a triumph by Obama’s administration.

　　D.The US seized the chance to declare victory in the war against Terror.

　　解析:选B。细节理解题。由文中第二段的“Bin Laden died inside a walled compound in the Pakistani ..., outside Islamabad.”内容可知，本·拉登是死于伊斯兰堡之外。故B项所述错误。

　　2. In Mr Pfarrer’s opinion, he thought ________.

　　A.the US shouldn’t announce the death of Bin Laden so quickly

　　B.it took 90 minutes rather than 45 minutes to kill Bin Laden

　　C.the US should declare the victory as soon as possible

　　D.the US seized the chance to use intelligence caught during the raid

　　解析:选A。 推理判断题。文中第三段提到“by announcing the death of the terrorist leader so quickly the US missed a chance to use ....”由此可知，Mr Pfarrer认为美国不应该如此快地公布本·拉登之死。

　　3. The most probable informer who led the US to Bin Laden’s hiding place is ________.

　　A.Zawahiri

　　B.Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti

　　C.Mr Pfarrer

　　D.a courier

　　解析:选A。 推理判断题。文中末段提到“one can draw the conclusion that it was Zawahiri who led the US to Bin Laden’s hiding place...”由此可知，是Zawahiri把美军带领到了本·拉登的藏身处。

　　4. The underlined word in the passage possibly means________.

　　A.given away

　　B.blown away

　　C.carried away

　　D.cut off

　　解析:选A。词义猜测题。上文提到“a courier who had been questioned by the CIA”，由此可知，该通讯员受到中央情报局的审问，故身份已经暴露，此处blown是“泄漏”之意，故与give away相吻合。

　　B

　　(2012·高考安徽卷)Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear(鞋类)in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits(展品)from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.

　　【语篇解读】　本文为一篇信息材料类的阅读文章，兼有应用文和说明文的特点。文章简单介绍了一个鞋类博物馆各展室展品的基本情况。

　　5.Where would you find a famous singer’s shoes?

　　A.Room 1.

　　B.Room 2.

　　C.Room 3.

　　D.The Footwear Library.

　　解析:选A。信息比对题。文章第二部分由四则信息组成，分别介绍三个展室的展品和鞋类图书馆。Room 1属于名人鞋类展室，a famous singer属于a celebrity，故选A。第一个方框中的“belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors”也是解题信息。

　　6.All exhibits in each room ________.

　　A.share the same theme

　　B.have the same shape

　　C.are made of the same material

　　D.belong to the same social class

　　解析:选A。信息比对题。前三个方框内的信息分别介绍三个不同的展室，这三个展室分别是:名人鞋类展区、特殊用途鞋类、造型像鞋的物品。显然，这三个展室都围绕同一主题，故选A。

　　7.Which of the following is true according to the text?

　　A.The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.

　　B.Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum.

　　C.Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.

　　D.Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data.

　　解析:选D。细节判断题。第一个方框中的“Started in the 1950s”说的是该展室创办的时间，而非其中展品的年代，A项错。根据第一个方框首句“The celebrity(名人)footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum.”可知，Room 1应该是整个博物馆游客最多的地方，B项错。第三展室展出的是造型像鞋的物品，其中的物品丰富，但并未说明此展室比其他两个展室的展品更丰富，C项无依据。根据第四个方框中的“Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.”可知，设计师们和研究者们来此是为了查阅信息资料，D项正确。

　　8.The purpose of the text is to get more people to ________.

　　A.do research

　　B.design shoes

　　C.visit the museum

　　D.follow celebrities

　　解析:选C。写作目的题。该文由引言和四则信息组成，引言部分是向游客作综合性介绍，接下来的四则信息分别介绍博物馆的三个展室和一个鞋类图书馆。根据文中的Welcome to...Most visitors...Most of our visitors...可知，作者是推荐该鞋类博物馆，希望更多的人去参观。故选C。A项和B项只局限于参观The Footwear Library的游客，D项锁定的只是参观Room 1的游客，且展出名人鞋类的目的并非就是为了刺激游客追逐名人。
