　　B．having done

　　C．to do

　　D．to have done

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：自从我七岁时起，我就做各种各样的工作自己谋生了。由语境可知，do all kinds of jobs发生在句子谓语动词所表动作之前，所以用having done。故B项正确。

　　3．If you ________ Dad to let you borrow his car，you’re going to be completely disappointed.

　　A．expect

　　B．persuade

　　C．challenge

　　D．allow

　　答案　A

　　答案　D解析　考查冠词用法。句意为：最后我们一致同意租一辆车去那里是最好的办法。第一空是泛指租用一辆车，应用不定冠词a；第二空形容词最高级前用定冠词the，表示“最好的方式”。故D项正确。

　　5．Australia is one of the few countries ________ people drive on the left.

　　A．where

　　B．that

　　C．when

　　D．which

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查定语从句。句意为：澳大利亚是少数几个靠左边行驶的国家之一。分析句子结构可知，此句包含一个定语从句，先行词为the few countries，且从句中缺少地点状语，所以应用关系副词where引导。故答案选A。

　　6．—I’m going to drive to the beach.—________！

　　A．Have fun

　　B．Don’t mention it

　　C．Take your time

　　D．That’s all right

　　7．________ her anger，Maria turned around and walked away from him.

　　A．Controlled

　　B．Being controlled

　　C．To control

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：为了控制愤怒，Maria转身离开了他。根据语境可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故答案选C。

　　8．—Have you finished your fashion design?

　　—Not yet.I’ll finish it if I ________ ten more minutes.

　　A．am given

　　B．give

　　C．will give

　　D．will be given

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查动词的时态和语态。句意为：——你完成你的时尚设计了吗？——还没有，如果再给我十分钟的话，我将会完成它。本句为if引导的条件状语从句，主句为一般将来时，则从句应用一般现在时表示将来意义，排除C、D两项；又由语境可知，I与give之间为被动关系，所以应用动词的被动语态。故答案选A。

　　9．This restaurant，________ by an old couple，has an inviting，homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.

　　A．owning

　　B．to own

　　C．having owned

　　D．owned

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。owning现在分词表示进行，和主语是主动关系；to own不定式表示主动、将来的动作；having owned表示完成的主动动作；owned过去分词表示被动、完成。分析题干可知，own与restaurant之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此，空格处应该使用过去分词。故答案选D。

　　10．The police arrived，________ the situation became calmer.

　　A．after which

　　B．before which

　　C．in which

　　D．from which

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查定语从句。句意为：警察到来之后，局势比先前平静了一些。分析题干可知，逗号后为非限制性定语从句，先行词为逗号前的整句话。根据语境可知，after which为正确答案。

　　12．If I buy more than one，will you give me a ________？

　　Tayka Hotel de Sal

　　Where：Tahua，Bolivia

　　How much：About $95 a night

　　Why it’s cool：You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood，but salt？That’s something few can claim.Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses(床垫) and blankets)．The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni，a prehistoric dried­up lake which is the world’s biggest salt flat.Builders use the salt from the 4,633­square­mile flat to make the bricks，and glue them together with a paste (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel，the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.

　　Green Magic Nature Resort

　　Where：Vythiri，India

　　How much：About $240 a night

　　Why it’s cool：Taking a pulley(滑轮)­operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure.As you look out of your open window—there is no glass！—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷)．Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel，or just sit on your bamboo bed and read.You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley­drawn “elevator”．

　　Dog Bark Park Inn B&B

　　Where：Cottonwood，Idaho

　　How much：$92 a night

　　Why it’s cool：This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet.Sweet_Willy is a 30­foot­tall dog with guest rooms in his belly.Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side.You can relax in the main bedroom，go up a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy’s head，or hang out inside his nose.Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters，there is also a toilet in the 12­foot­tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.

　　Gamirasu Cave Hotel

　　Where：Ayvali，Turkey

　　How much：Between $130 and $475 a night

　　Why it’s cool：This is caveman cool！Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago，when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash.But your stay will be much more modern.Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel，and the white volcanic ash，called tufa，keeps the rooms cool，about 65 in summer.(Don’t worry—there is heat in winter.)

　　3．What does the underlined words “Sweet Willy” refer to?

　　A．The name of the hotel.

　　B．The name of the hotel owner.

　　C．The building of Dog Bark Park Inn B&B.

　　4．What may be the purpose of the writer writing the text?

　　A．To show his wide knowledge.

　　B．To introduce some interesting hotels.

　　C．To develop business in tourism.

　　D．To attract attention from the readers.

　　答案　B

　　解析　写作目的题。作者在这篇文章中主要介绍了四家别具一格的宾馆，这也就是作者写这篇文章的目的所在。

　　B

　　There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky (威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle.When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary，“I never saw a lovelier spot.”And she didn’t even go fishing.

　　Scotland is not easily defined.In certain moments，this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes.When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light，the rivers，teeming with fish，can turn into streams of gold.As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy，near the Inverlochy Castle，any frustration (烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water.It’s just you and purple，pink，white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony.If you are a new comer to fishing，learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun.For many，fishing is more than a sport；it is an art.

　　Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day’s fishing.Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland，the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains.Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains，and reaching its 1343­metre top is a challenge.But it’s not just what goes up that matters；what comes down is unique.More than 900 metres high，on the mountain’s north face，lies an all­important source of pure water.Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh” or “water of life”；and it is the single most important ingredient (原料) in Scotland’s best known drink：whisky.(2017·重庆，C)

　　5．The story of Queen Victoria is to show that________.

　　A．the Queen is rich in tour experience

　　B．the Castle is a good place to go in

　　Scotland

　　C．tasting whisky is better than going fishing

　　D．1873 is a special year for the Queen

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary，‘I never saw a lovelier spot.’”可知女王认为这是她见过的最好的旅游景点。所以B项正确。

　　6．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

　　A．By giving descriptions.

　　B．By following time order.

　　C．By analyzing causes.

　　D．By making comparisons.

　　答案　A

　　解析　语篇结构题。通读第二段可知，此段对苏格兰的风景进行了生动详尽的描绘，故A项正确。

　　7．What is Ben Nevis special for?

　　A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

　　B．The beauty of its surroundings.

　　C．The water from the mountain.

　　D．The challenge up to its top.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。通过最后一段的后三句话可知，对于Ben Nevis而言，最特别的莫过于它拥有制作苏格兰最著名的威士忌所需的水源，故C项正确。

　　8．What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

　　B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

　　C．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.

　　D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

　　答案　B

　　解析　主旨大意题。本文介绍了苏格兰这一旅游胜地，旨在向读者展示苏格兰的种种魅力，故B项符合题意。A项“向游客介绍苏格兰的传统”与原文不符；C项“探索苏格兰的地理特点”和D项“描述在苏格兰愉快的生活”，都与原文背离。故B项正确。
