3.Despite high prices of the goods, the shopping mall is always attracting a lot of customers for its________supplies.

7.Despite mistakes and________, the robot did a great deal of good work.
A.limits
B.advantages
C.benefits
D.weaknesses
答案:D 本题考查名词辨析。句意:尽管有差错和不足,机器人还是做了大量的好的工作。与mistakes一致,此处应填weaknesses。limit“限制”;advantage“好处,优点”;benefit“利益,好处”,均不符合句意。
8.Although he is over 65, Mr Smith has never been tired. He's a man full of________.
A.power
B.energy
C.strength
D.drawback
答案:B 本题考查名词辨析。从“never been tired”可判断,“他是一个精力旺盛的人”。energy意为“精力,能量”,符合语境。power主要指职权、权力、做一件事所需要具备的能力,人或事物潜在的或已发挥出来的能量、职权、权力或政权;strength着重指体力;drawback指“不利之处,弊端”。
9.Because it was hard to________with the money he got paid, he wanted to take________job.
A.make his life; a second
B.make ends meet; a second
C.earn his living; the second
D.make his living; the second
答案:B 本题考查动词短语及冠词用法。make ends meet“使收支相抵”,earn one's living相当于make one's living,指“谋生”;表示“又一,再一”用a second。
10.She became fatter and fatter, so the doctor advised her________.
A.losing weight
B.to lose weight
C.to keep weight
D.to gain weight
答案:B 句意:她越来越胖,因此医生建议她减肥。advise后跟不定式作复合宾语,即advise sb. to do sth.,因此排除A项。lose weight“减肥”。gain weight“增加体重”;keep weight“保持体重”。
11.—What about your summer vacation in London?
—I have never spent________holiday.
A.a very exciting
B.a more exciting
C.a more excited
D.much too an exciting
答案:B 本题考查“否定词+比较级”表示最高级的用法。句意:“你暑假在伦敦过得怎么样?”“我从来没有度过比这更令人兴奋的假期了。”注意此处holiday前使用不定冠词,且形容词用比较级形式。
12.We expect to make a(n)________of one yuan on each of the books we sell.
A.advantage
B.profit
C.benefit
D.behalf
答案:B 本题考查名词辨析。句意:我们期望卖出的每一本书能获得一元钱的利润。advantage“有利条件”;benefit“好处;利益”;behalf“代表”,均不符合句意。
13.—Your schoolbag wants________, Tom.
—Yes, it does. And it is also what I want to have________for long.
A.to be washed; it washed
B.washing; washed
C.being washed; to be washed
D.washing; it washed
答案:B 第一空want doing=want to be done“需要被……”;第二空考查have sth. done结构,句中what起双重作用,故不能再有it。
14.—You couldn't have chosen any gift better for me.
—________
A.Oh, don't you like it?
B.That's all right. I'll give you a better one next time.
C.I'm glad you like it so much.
D.You have a gift for music, don't you?

15.—It's a long time since I saw my sister.
—________ her this weekend?
A.Why not visit
B.Why not to visit
C.Why not visiting
D.Why don't visit
答案:A why not后只接动词原形,意为“为何不……?”向对方提供建议。

A
(2010·烟台市高三一模)
Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear. But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
Slipon shoes with elastic(有弹性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys—with Keds and Vans the most soughtafter brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS
The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法); this leads to short and longterm problems such as calluses(茧子), heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS
These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high that they can force the wearer's body weight forward, making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toebox that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing “bad” shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器)in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.
文章大意:该怎样为孩子们选择健康的鞋子呢?这是一门学问。
1.Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A.Marks & Spencer.
B.Wedges & Stilettos.
C.Keds and Vans.
D.Ballet Pumps.
答案:D 细节理解题。由第五段BALLET PUMPS下介绍可知。
2.Which pair of shoes may NOT be found on the podiatrists' wish list?
答案:B 推理判断题。由第四段介绍可知,Keds and Vans等鞋子的底太平,是不健康的鞋子,所以B项不会是足科医生建议买的那种鞋子。
3.The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means“________”.
A.increase
B.worsen
C.stop
D.cure
答案:C 猜测词义题。最后一段介绍在鞋里安矫正器,可以让孩子们改变错误的走法,从而“阻止”了伤害的发生。
4.From this passage we can infer________.
A.trendy shoes may ruin teenagers' health
B.fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C.experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D.podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes
答案:A 推理判断题。由第二句“But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.”可推知,这些时髦的鞋子会给青少年的健康造成损害。
5.In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?
A.Sports.
B.Science.
C.Health.
D.Shopping.
答案:C 推理判断题。全文讲述了一些时髦品牌的鞋子会给青少年的健康造成损害,并建议我们怎样去做以避免伤害的发生。因此,这是健康话题。
B
(2010·福建省龙岩市高中毕业班第一次质检)
Amanda took whatever pills she could get, largely because she was finding life hard to take. “There were a lot of problems,” she says. She had just found out that her parents were splitting(分开). It took her by surprise—and she was shocked. “I woke up one morning, and they told me.”
“On a few occasions during my two years of going to pharming parties(品药聚会), my heart would race so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. I felt weak and confused sometimes and even passed out several times,” she recalls. “But I picked up from the ground because I had a lot of pride in my drinking and drugging. I was really crazy about it and proud of the fact
that I could take more than a lot of people.”
Finally, though, things got out of control. “I couldn't go a day without taking something,” she recalls, “and after a while, the pills upset my stomach; it hurt all the time, and I hardly ate. Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I went to my parents and told them I needed help.”
Amanda entered a treatment program and has been calm since her release last January. “Detox(戒瘾) was the worst four days of my entire life,” she says. “I was throwing up all the food and had the shakes.”
She doesn't care about drugs. “I'm so hurt from this,” says Amanda, who has ulcers(溃疡) and damaged kidneys from the drugs and alcohol. “I have to struggle daily to stay calm. But in some ways, I feel lucky I went through it, and I'm out of it now.” Amanda wrote a song called “Goodnight to the Moonlight”. Amanda says, “It's about how it feels to be taking drugs and alcohol, how it hurts, how it makes you feel like you're losing yourself.”
文章大意:Amanda由于父母离异而吸上了毒并成瘾。在父母的帮助下,她艰难却坚定地戒了毒获得了新生。
6.The purpose of writing this passage is to tell us that______.
A.parents have a great influence on their children
B.drugs are a danger to our health and mind
C.once determined, you will face no difficulty
D.once formed, bad habits are hard to get rid of
答案:C 推理判断题。由文章大意可知。
7.From the second paragraph we can learn that Amanda______.
A.was bored with her behavior
B.never felt frightened or ashamed of taking pills
C.took pride in taking much more drugs
D.was so strong in body that she never felt tired
答案:C 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句话可知。
8.After taking drugs, Amanda________.
A.found out that her parents were splitting
B.found her lungs were damaged
C.was forced to enter a treatment program
D.felt confused and almost broke down
答案:D 细节理解题。由第四段第一句话可知。
9.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.
A.Amanda had such a strong will that she didn't lose herself
B.Amanda's song expressed her thanks and delight
C.Detox was not really a success to Amanda
D.drugs and alcohol ruined Amanda's health as well as her spirit
答案:A 推理判断题。由最后一段她的话可推知。
