　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．This is our last chance，so we cannot________to experience another failure.

　　A．bearB．miss

　　—Nothing serious.Take this medicine according to the________，and you’ll get better soon.

　　A．introductions

　　B．explanations

　　C．suggestions

　　D．instructions

　　解析：选D。introduction“介绍”；explanation“解释”；suggestion“建议”，都与语境不符合。答句意为“没什么，按照说明书服药，你很快就会好起来的。”

　　3．If there were no one examination after another，we should have________at school.

　　A．the happiest time

　　B．a more happier time

　　C．much happiest time

　　D．a much happier time

　　4．Mary stood still in front of a mirror，________on her mouth.

　　A．her eyes fixed

　　B．and her eyes fixed

　　C． and her eyes fixing

　　D．her eyes fixing

　　解析：选A。B项的错误之处在于fix要用被动形式。A项是独立主格结构，eyes 与fix之间有逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用v.-ed形式。

　　5．With a third of the country living in________poverty，most women have to work to make________living.

　　A．/；/

　　B．/；a

　　C．the；the

　　D．the；/

　　解析：选B。poverty是不可数名词，前面用零冠词；make a living谋生，为固定用法。

　　6．If he hadn’t spent so much of his time playing computer games，he________something useful.

　　A．need have done

　　B．mustn’t have done

　　C．can’t have done

　　D．might have done

　　7．(2012·高考湖南卷)The lecture, ________ at 7∶00 p．m. last night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.

　　A．starting

　　B．being started

　　C．to start

　　D．to be started

　　解析：选A。考查非谓语动词作定语。两个逗号之间的部分为定语，修饰the lecture，被修饰词the lecture与定语中的动词start为主动关系，应使用现在分词短语作定语，该定语可转换为定语从句which started at 7∶00 p．m. last night。B项为being done结构，作定语时，表示“正在被……”；C项为动词不定式的主动式，作定语时，表示动作尚未发生；D项为动词不定式的被动式，作定语时，表示“将要被……”。

　　8．We laugh at jokes，but seldom________about how they work.

　　A．we think

　　B．think we

　　C．we do think

　　D．do we think

　　解析：选D。句意：我们因为笑话而笑，但很少去想笑话是如何使人发笑的。本题考查倒装句。seldom是具有否定意义的副词，置于句首，主句要部分倒装，故D项正确。

　　9．Before making any changes to your travel plan，________your family to find out which activities are most important to them.

　　A．to consult

　　B．consulting

　　C．consult

　　D．consulted

　　解析：选C。此句为一个祈使句，所以要用动词原形，before making any changes to your travel plan在句中作状语。

　　10．The headmaster received thousands of e-mails from students asking him________mobile phone calls during the class.

　　A．not approve

　　B．not to approve

　　C．not approving

　　D．approving not

　　答案：B

　　11.(2011·高考江苏卷)—I left my handbag on the train，but luckily someone gave it to a railway official.

　　—How unbelievable to get it back！I mean，someone________it.

　　A．will have stolen

　　B．might have stolen

　　C．should have stolen

　　D．must have stolen

　　解析：选B。考查情态动词＋have done的用法。句意：——我把手提包落在火车上了，不过，幸运的是，有人把它交给了乘警。——把包拿回来是多么不可思议啊！我的意思是，有人可能偷了你的包。will have stolen为将来完成时，而此事已经过去，故被排除。might have stolen可能已经偷了，符合语境，故答案为B项。should have stolen表示本应该偷而事实上却没有；must have stolen表示肯定偷了，均不符合题意。

　　12．(2011·高考北京卷)Mary was much kinder to Jack than she was to the others，________，of course，made all the others upset.

　　A．who

　　B．which

　　C．what

　　D．that

　　解析：选B。考查定语从句。句意：玛丽对杰克要比对其他人友好得多，当然，这使得其他人都不太高兴。分析句子结构和句意可知空格处应该引导一个非限制性的定语从句，故排除C、D两项；空格处的关系词用来指代前面整个句子内容，作made的主语，所以排除A项，选B项。

　　13．(2016·东北三省四市协作体联考)—________you write so well?

　　—By reading and keeping diaries every day.

　　A．How is it that

　　B．Is it how that

　　C．How it is that

　　D．What is it that

　　解析：选A。考查特殊疑问句的强调句。句意：——你怎么写得那么好？——通过每天阅读和写日记。根据句意可知提问方是对方式状语进行提问，故用how引导，排除D项；特殊疑问句的强调句型是：特殊疑问词＋is/was＋it＋that＋其他成分。

　　14．(2012·高考四川卷)This training program can give you a lift at work，________ increase your income by 40%.

　　A．as well as

　　B．so long as

　　C．so much as

　　D. as soon as

　　解析：选A。考查连词。句意：这个培训项目不但能让你的收入增加40%，而且能让你在工作中有一定的提升。give you a lift at work与increase your income by 40%为并列关系。as well as可用来连接两个并列成分，意为“不但……而且……”。so long as意为“只要”，引导条件状语从句；so much as意为“甚至于”；as soon as意为“一……就……”。

　　15．Thanks to the measures________by the local government，the polluted river is becoming clearer and clearer and fish have begun to show up in it.

　　A．taking

　　B．taken

　　C．to take

　　D．having taken

　　解析：选B。考查非谓语动词。the measures与take之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词短语作后置定语。现在分词的完成式不能作后置定语，排除D项。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　(2012·高考安徽卷)Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

　　The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸)．

　　People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应)toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.

　　Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.

　　Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

　　The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

　　【语篇解读】　本文为议论文。文章就不同文化中对于颜色含义理解的异同以及颜色在商业、生活中的应用进行了讨论。

　　1．Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their ________.

　　A．cultural values

　　B．commercial purposes

　　C．personal experiences

　　D．physical reactions to the color

　　解析：选A。细节理解和语篇逻辑关系题。第二段谈到了埃及人和伊斯兰教信徒对于绿色的不同理解。这一内容是作为论据论证本段的主题句“The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.”，该主题句侧重的是cultural values，而不是personal experiences，故选A。

　　2．Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?

　　A．To relax people physically.

　　B．To increase people’s appetites.

　　C．To encourage people to make a purchase.

　　D．To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“...many commercial websites will have a red ‘Buy Now’ button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.”可知，商业网站选用红色作为“现在就买”的按钮颜色是因为红色容易吸引人的注意力，商业网站吸引访客显然是为了多推销商品，故选C。

　　3．What color might help lose weight according to the text?

　　A．Red

　　B．Green.

　　C．Blue.

　　D．Purple.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第五段中的“...blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.”可知，蓝色有助于减少人的食欲，从而帮助减肥。

　　4．Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?

　　A．Colors and Human Beings

　　B．The Cultural Meaning of Color

　　C．Colors and Personal Experiences

　　D．The Meaning and Function of Color

　　解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文首段提出话题“为什么女孩子喜欢粉红色或紫色，而男孩子喜欢蓝色或棕色？”，接下来从两个方面对此问题做出回答：一是文化价值的影响(第2段)，二是人体对于颜色的反应(第3～5段)，最后一段是对全文的总结。第二段讨论的是不同文化下对于颜色含义理解的异同，可用the meaning of color来概括，第三至五段讨论的是颜色对于人体反应的作用，即the function of color。故选D。A项中的Human Beings过于宽泛；B项只能概括第二段；C项可概括第3～5段，但没有概括第二段。
