　　解析　句意为：这是他们所想出的营救被埋矿工的最好的办法。此句中way后跟了两个定语，一个是定语从句they have thought of；另一个是非谓语动词形式。way后面的定语既可用不定式也可用“of＋v.­ing形式”，因此可排除A、D两项；另外， miners与bury之间为动宾关系，所以应用过去分词buried作定语。

　　I have lost touch for almost 20 years.

　　A.of which

　　B.when

　　C.with whom

　　D.who

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：你猜怎么了，我今天早上遇到了小学科学老师，我和他几乎20年没有联系了。这里是定语从句，先行词是my primary school science teacher，定语从句中使用了词组lose touch with sb.所以缺少介词with和关系代词whom，故选C。

　　This makes them difficult for some people to read，so they are often left to gather dust on shelves.

　　这使得一些人读起它们来很困难，因此它们经常被搁置在书架上，积满了灰尘。

　　该句型中，宾语补足语主要由名词、形容词、介词、不带to的不定式和过去分词等充当。

　　当宾语比较长时，常常用“make＋it＋宾补＋宾语”这一结构，其中it为形式宾语，真正的宾语为不定式短语或that引导的宾语从句。

　　(1)The movie made her a star.

　　那部电影使她成了明星。

　　(2)She made it her business to find out who was responsible.

　　她一定要查清楚到底该谁负责。

　　possible to turn out new products faster and at a lower cost.

　　A.that

　　B.this

　　C.one

　　(3)He made himself

　　in spite of his

　　English.

　　A.understand；broken

　　B.understand；breaking　

　　C.understood；broken

　　D.understood；breaking

　　答案　C

　　解析　make himself understood让别人理解他；broken English 蹩脚的英语。

　　Pip’s sister often abuses him，but Joe is a kind and simple man who would rather die than see any harm come to Pip.皮普的姐姐经常辱骂他，但乔却是一个善良、淳朴的人，他宁愿死也不愿意看到皮普受到任何伤害。

　　(1)would rather do...than do...宁愿……也不愿……

　　(2)“would rather＋动词原形”是英语中常见的一个句式，意为“宁可……；宁愿……；最好……”。后接宾语从句时，从句谓语用虚拟语气：表示一个现在或将来的愿望，谓语用一般过去时；表示一个过去的愿望，谓语用过去完成时。

　　(3)other than除了……，除……以外，常用于否定句中，相当于except，but等。

　　(4)rather than 宁可……也不……；而不是；与其……倒不如……，用于连接两个并列成分。

　　(5)prefer to do...rather than do...宁愿……而不愿……

　　(6)or rather更确切地说

　　(1)I’d rather work in the countryside.

　　我宁可在农村工作。

　　I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema.

　　(3)—Della burst out crying at the news，but I meant no harm.

　　—I’d rather you

　　her about it.

　　A.didn’t tell

　　B.haven’t told

　　C.hadn’t told

　　D.wouldn’t tell

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查虚拟语气。句意为：——德拉听到这个消息突然大哭起来，可我不是故意的。——我真希望你没有告诉她这个消息。I’d rather在接宾语从句时，从句中的谓语要用虚拟语气形式，此处是与过去事实相反的虚拟故用过去完成时。

　　(4) —Does Shelley like shopping?

　　—Well，she would rather spend time

　　at home than

　　in the street.

　　A.read；wander

　　B.reading；wander

　　C.in reading；to wander

　　D.reading；to wander

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：——谢莉喜欢购物吗？——哦，她情愿花时间在家阅读也不愿去街上闲逛。spend time (in) doing sth.花时间做某事，又由“would rather do...than do...”可知后一空填动词原形，故选B项。

　　.But I was preparing a report for my boss.

　　A.did

　　—I stepped back，just

　　to avoid the racing car.

　　.

　　A.to be rescued

　　C.to have rescued

　　D.to have been rescued

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：一些游客仍被困在大雪中，尽管据警方报道大部分都已经被营救出来了。sb.be reported 这一结构后接动词不定式；题中most指前文的travellers，与rescue构成被动关系，故用动词不定式的被动式，且营救发生于报道之前，所以应该为完成式，故选D。

　　5.It was

　　that we tried to make him change his mind.

　　A.paid off

　　B.in vain

　　C.took off

　　D.in effect

　　答案　B

　　解析　pay off 付清；in vain 徒劳地；take off 起飞，脱衣；in effect实际上，有效。句意为：我们尽力使他改变想法，但一切都是徒劳地。

　　—I would rather she

　　me tomorrow than today.

　　A.tells

　　，Henry did his best to perform his duty.(2017·安徽，32)

　　A.promote

　　B.promoted

　　C.promoting

　　D.to promote

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：当等待机会升职的时候，Henry尽最大努力履行职责。这里使用了get done结构，表示被动关系，因为he和promote是动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式。

　　A.everybody

　　B.nobody

　　C.anybody

　　D.somebody

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：会议将在九月举行，但没有人知道确切的日期。根据but(表达转折)可知没有人知道，故选B项。

　　， so his mother had to give in and bought him a toy.

　　A.carrying off

　　B.being carried off

　　C.to carry off

　　D.to be carry off

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：在商店里，这个男孩死活不走，所以他妈妈只好作出让步，给他买了一个玩具。resist后可以跟动名词作宾语，不跟不定式，故可排除C、D两项；the boy与carry off “带走”之间是动宾关系，应用被动形式，故选B。

　　14.The local government has already collected three million dollars，

　　for the environmental improvement.

　　A.intended

　　B.intending

　　C.to intend

　　D.to be intended

　　答案　A

　　解析　句意为：当地政府为了改善环境已经集资三百万美元。be intended for sth.是一个固定搭配，意为“旨在，目的是为了”，此处相当于定语从句which is intended，省略了 which is，用过去分词直接充当补充说明的作用。

　　15.I am heavily

　　at the moment，but I hope to be out of it when I get paid.

　　A.in debt

　　B.in trouble

　　C.in vain

　　D.in danger

　　答案　A

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse，and when he arrived in this hard world，it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes.He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.

　　Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth.One was an old woman，who was nearly always drunk，and the other was a busy local doctor，who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival.

　　However，Oliver managed to draw his first breath，and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly.His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered，“Let me see the child，and die.”

　　The doctor turned away from the fire，where he had been warming his hands.“You must not talk about dying yet，” he said to her kindly.He gave her the child to hold.Lovingly，she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips，then stared wildly around the room，fell back—and died.“Poor dear！” said the nurse，hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.

　　The doctor began to put on his coat.“The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties，” he said.“If so，give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman.“The mother was a good­looking girl.Where did she come from？”

　　“She was brought here last night，” replied the old woman.“She was found lying in the street.She’d walked some distance，judging by her shoes，which were worn to pieces.Where she came from，where she was going to，or what her name was，nobody knows.”

　　The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand.“The old story，” he said sadly，shaking his head.“No wedding ring，I see.Ah! Good night.”

　　And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse.Without clothes，under his first blanket，he could have been the child of a king or a beggar.But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes，yellow with age，he looked exactly what he was—an orphan in a workhouse，ready for a life of misery，hunger，and neglect.

　　Oliver cried loudly.If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan，perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.

　　There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse，so Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby.There，he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day，without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing.Mrs Mann，the old woman who “looked after” them，was very experienced.She knew what was good for children，and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health.She also knew what was good for herself，so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children’s food.The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children，but they always sent the beadle，a kind of local policeman，to announce their visit the day before.So whenever the board arrived，of course，the children were always neat and clean.

　　This was the way Oliver was brought up.Consequently，at the age of nine he was a pale，thin child and short for his age.But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann，his spirit was strong，which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.

　　On Oliver’s ninth birthday，Mr Bumble，the beadle，came to the house to see Mrs Mann.Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate，and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.

　　“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed！” she said.Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.

　　36.According to the passage，a workhouse was where

　　.

　　A.many women died unexpectedly

　　B.workers helped each other

　　C.the poor and homeless lived

　　D.people were only interested in money

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。根据文意可知Oliver的母亲晕倒在街头被带到workhouse，在那里生下了Oliver，由文中对workhouse艰苦简陋的条件的描述可知这是穷人和无家可归者住的地方，故选C。

　　37.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A.Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.

　　B.Many people，especially women，drank heavily at that time.

　　C.The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.

　　D.Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The doctor turned away from the fire，where he had been warming his hands.”可推断天气很冷，故A正确；B、D两项文中未提到；根据倒数第四段中的“without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing”和倒数第三段中的“frequent beatings by Mrs Mann”可知孩子们的生活饥饿、悲惨，C项错误。故选A。

　　38.Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?

　　B.Frightened at the sight of the two，he started to cry.

　　C.After all，death was a common event in the workhouse.

　　D.In fact，the world was privileged to have him in it.

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。本段讲了Oliver Twist出生时的情况：现场一个是几乎喝醉了的老护士，另一个是繁忙的当地医生，由于没有得到足够的钱所以对Oliver的生死并不感兴趣。C项意为“毕竟在济贫院死亡是常有的事”，符合文意，故选C。

　　39.What is the passage mainly about?

　　A.Oliver’s early life.

　　B.Oliver’s personality.

　　C.Mother’s death.

　　D.People’s selfishness.

　　答案　A

　　解析　主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了Oliver Twist的出生及悲惨的童年，属于他的早期生活，故选A。
