　　A．rightB．wrong

　　C．correct

　　D．perfect

　　解析：本题考查形容词的用法。答句句意：是的，她是这个职位的合适人选。很明显，空格中不能使用wrong。而correct意为“正确的”；perfect意为“完美的，极好的”，都不符合句意。因此A项为正确答案，right在这里相当于best或most suitable。

　　答案：A

　　together，________fun.

　　A．had

　　B．have

　　C．to have D．having

　　解析：本题中用现在分词短语作伴随状语。

　　答案：D

　　3. Bob is a boy who is________to work with every day.

　　A．a great fun

　　B．a great joke

　　C．great fun

　　D．great joke

　　解析：joke用作名词时，可以表示“笑话”或“笑料”，这时joke是可数名词，而fun则没有这样的用法。

　　答案：B

　　4．The old men________the medicine free of charge now.

　　A．are queuing up

　　B．are queuing up for

　　C．are queuing

　　D．queue up for

　　解析：queue up for sth.意为“为……而排队等候”。从本句语境看，谓语动词应该使用现在进行时。

　　答案：B

　　5．—What did the head say at the end of the meeting?

　　—He________the importance of the work.

　　A．pointed at

　　B．pointed to

　　C．pointed

　　D．pointed out

　　解析：本题考查动词point构成的短语的意义。答句意为“他指出这一工作的重要性”。因此使用短语point out。

　　答案：D

　　6.After three days’treatment，the surgeon________the operation very successfully.

　　A．performed

　　B．did

　　C．acted

　　D．made

　　解析：句意：在三天的治疗之后，外科医生很成功地做了那个手术。表示“做手术”应用have an operation(on sb.)或perform an operation(on sb.)。

　　答案：A

　　7．The question is________they will be able to help us.

　　A．if

　　B．whether

　　C．that

　　D．what

　　解析：从句子的结构看，本题考查表语从句的引导词的选用问题。句意：问题是他们是否能帮我们。因此不能使用what。而that不能在从句中作任何句子成分，也不选；从属连词if一般也不能用来引导表语从句。

　　答案：B

　　8．The reason why she was upset was________ her son didn’t pass the final exam.

　　A．that

　　B．so

　　C．why

　　D．because

　　解析：本句是个复合句，在reason的后面是why引导的定语从句，而was后是表语从句；表语从句是用来说明主语the reason的内容的，表示陈述意义，因此应用that引导表语从句，并且that不能省略。

　　答案：A

　　9．—Do remember________the battery 12 hours when you first use it.

　　—Got it.

　　A．charging

　　B．to charge

　　C．charged

　　D．going to charge

　　解析：本题考查动词remember的用法。remember doing sth.意为“记得做过了某事”；而remember to do sth.意为“记得要做某事”。根据本题所提供的语境，charge这个动作并没有发生，

　　因此在remember后使用不定式。故B项为正确答案。

　　答案：B

　　10．Your money could________good use instead of________idle in the bank.

　　A．put to；being left

　　B．be put to；leaving

　　C．put to；leaving

　　D．be put to；being left

　　解析：本题综合性很强，句中的instead of是短语介词，因此后面的动词短语应该使用其­ing形式。前一个空格中使用短语put sth.to good use，因此主语your money是put的承受者，故put应使用被动形式；同时主语your money也是leave的承受者，故leave也应使用动名词的被动形式。因此D项为本题的正确答案。

　　答案：D

　　11．________doesn’t seem to have been much difficulty in solving the problem.

　　A．It

　　B．That

　　C．There

　　D．He

　　解析：此处是there be句型的变式。

　　答案：C

　　12．I met Mr Smith for the first time yesterday，and he seemed very________after being so seriously ill.

　　A．wonderfully

　　B．nicely

　　C．healthy

　　D．happily

　　解析：句意：昨天我第一次和史密斯先生见面，在这么严重的疾病之后，他看起来很________。句中的seem是连系动词，故在seem的后面应该接形容词作表语，而选项中只有healthy可以用作形容词，其余为副词，因此C为正确答案。

　　答案：C

　　13．—I’ve got an“A ”in the examination.

　　—That’s a good________.You’ll surely win a second.

　　A．result

　　B．start

　　C．news

　　D．idea

　　解析：本题空格中应填可数名词。根据语境的提示“You’ll surely win a second，”可知填start，意为“开始，开端”。

　　答案：B

　　14．We were all highly________by the comedian’s antics.

　　A．amused

　　B．made

　　C．taken

　　D．instructed

　　解析：本题考查动词的用法。句意：小丑的滑稽表演逗得我们哈哈大笑。表示“娱乐，使……高兴”应使用动词amuse，因此A项为正确答案。

　　答案：A

　　15．I have been to a lot of American cities，________New York，Atlanta and Chicago.

　　A．for example

　　B．such as

　　C．likely

　　D．in other words

　　解析：本题考查表示举例的短语的意义和用法。本题中列举了几个例子，故使用such as，因此B为正确答案。注意：likely是形容词，不能用来表示举例。但like可以表示举例，意为“如，例”。

　　答案：B

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　(2012年沈阳模拟)They're so young！What sets apart(区别) the new TV adaptation(改编) of the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions is the youthfulness of the players.

　　The producers made a great effort to bring in young actors.Most of them were born in the 1980s and 1990s.At the same time，a team of 20­somethings was given responsibility for adapting the novel for TV screens.

　　It is unusual for a director to pick a group of young people with little scriptwriting(写剧本) experience to take on such a big task.Most would expect the job to be given to more seasoned writers.

　　“I understand why director Li Shaohong has taken this unusual approach，” writes movie critic Raymond Zhou in China Daily.“She wants the drama to resonate(共鸣) with today's young people.”

　　Besides giving the remake a youthful flavor，Li also wanted to go back to the original.The popular 1986 adaptation left out many important parts of the novel that were considered supertitious(迷信的) back then.For this adaptation Li wanted strict faith to A Dream of Red Mansions，to make sure young audiences will get a real sense of the novel.

　　However，since people know the 1986 adaptation so well，they compare the old and the new shows.The costumes，make up and scenery in new drama are controversial(被争论的)．Nie Lina,16，of Yantai No.1 High School in Shandong province，believes it is a bad idea for actors to have such strange hairstyles.The actors remind me of Peking Opera performers，not people living in Qing Dynasty time.Li Youran,16，of Nanjing Foreign Language School，complains the music is strange and some scenes are scary.She also believes the actors are not playing in the spirit of the characters.

　　But Zhou defends(捍卫) the remake as an attempt at faithful adaptation.The value of the adaptation of a novel should be judged(评价) by how faithful it is to the novel－it shouldn't be judged against another adaptation.However，Zhou also argues that a director has the right to make his or her own work of art：an artist has the right to interpret(阐释) a classic based on his or her own understanding...You may not like it，but you cannot deny(否认) him or her that right.

　　【语篇解读】　新版《红楼梦》已经在全国播映，你对这部新改编的电视剧感觉如何呢？

　　A．The actors are very famous.

　　B．The actors are very young.

　　C．The director is very famous.

　　D．The producers are very young.

　　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句话可知，新改编的《红楼梦》与老版的不同之处就在于演员的年轻，故答案选B。

　　答案：B

　　17．According to Zhou，a movie critic，the director Li Shaohong picked young players because ________.

　　A．she wanted today's young people love the new drama

　　B．she wanted to train young actors

　　C．she liked to attempt a new unusual approach

　　D．she thought the new drama is fit for young players to act

　　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，导演李少红之所以挑选年轻的演员是为了想让这部新剧能和现在的年轻人产生共鸣，从而喜欢这部新剧，故答案选A。

　　答案：A

　　18．Besides the youngthfulness，the director wants to make the new adaptation ________.

　　A．superstitious

　　B．sensible

　　C．faithful

　　D．unexpected

　　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段的第一句话“Besides giving the remake a youthful flavor，Li also wanted to go back to the original.”以及第三句话“For this adaptation Li wanted strict faith to A Dream of Red Mansions”可知，除了年轻，导演还想使这部新剧更加忠实原作，故答案选C。superstitious迷信的；sensible理智的；unexpected难以预料的。

　　答案：C

　　19．What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean，according to the passage?

　　A．young

　　B．old

　　C．famous

　　D．experienced

　　解析：词义猜测题。根据seasoned所在的句子的前一句可知，对于一个导演来说，选择没有写剧本经验的年轻人来负责这么一个大任务，是不寻常的，大多数人都会预料导演应把工作交给更加有经验的(experienced)作家去做。故答案选D。

　　答案：D

　　20．According to the audiences，which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．Most audiences are satisfied with the new drama.

　　B．Lina believes the music in the drama is strange.

　　C．Zhou thinks it is right to be faithful.

　　D．Li Youran thinks it is wrong for players to have strange hairstyles.

　　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的第二句话可知，周认为剧本的价值应该由是否忠实于原作来判断，所以认为忠实是正确的，故答案选C。A项没有提到，而B项和D项犯了张冠李戴的错误。

　　答案：C

　　B

　　(2012年北京模拟)Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago.Times have changed.And so too has the Canadian workforce.Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change.For example，some work environments and washrooms designed for able­bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair.

　　Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about.For example，making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace，paving the way for workers who become disabled on the job.By doing so，any given group of people－formerly discriminated against－now has access to better employment opportunities.

　　The objective，of course，is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society.However，this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(实行配额)．Rather，it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures，with achievable goals and clear timetables，to remove them.

　　For example，according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees－Canada's largest union，it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women，that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women.At this moment，there would not be enough qualified female engineers.

　　A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers(8%) and those who are studying to become engineers(25%)．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.

　　Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities.If aboriginal people(土著居民)，for example，can't qualify for certain jobs because they haven't had access to appropriate educational opportunities，then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.

　　Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.

　　【语篇解读】　当今社会，就业问题受到每个人的关注，而关于“平等就业”又该如何处理？

　　答案：D
