　　活页练(二十三)单项填空＋完形填空＋阅读理解

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　—Yes.I love________when the weather is like this.Why don’t we sit outside and have our lunch?

　　A．this

　　B．that

　　C．it

　　D．one

　　答案　C

　　解析　本题主要考查it作形式宾语的句型。动词love，like，hate，dislike，enjoy，prefer，appreciate等词后一般不能直接接句子，前面要加it，然后再接when或if引导的句子。

　　2．Of the two lectures，the first was by far________，partly because the speaker had such a dynamic style.

　　A．the best

　　B．better

　　C．the better

　　D．much better

　　答案　C

　　解析　“两者之中较……的一个”经常用“the＋比较级”。

　　3．Why not look up the new word in a dictionary________you don’t know it?

　　A．if

　　B．that

　　C．though

　　D．whether

　　答案　A

　　解析　why not在这里表达的是建议，因此后面表达的是条件。句意为：如果你不知道这个单词，为什么不查一下词典？

　　4．As________rule，apples are sold by________weight and eggs by________dozen.

　　A．a；/；the

　　B．a；the；the

　　C．a；a；the

　　D．the；/；/

　　答案　A

　　解析　as a rule通常地，是固定词组；在度量名词前，表示付工资、卖、租等方式时，用the，如paid by the hour (day，month，piece...)，sold by the yard (dozen，ton...)；by weight按重量。

　　5．Which do you enjoy________your weekend，swimming or fishing?

　　A．spending

　　B．being spent

　　C．spend D．to spend

　　答案　D

　　解析　to spend为不定式作目的状语，而which是enjoy的宾语。

　　6．I don’t have a job.I would find one but I________no time.

　　A．had

　　B．didn’t have

　　C．had had

　　D．have

　　答案　D

　　解析　解答此类题时，必须从题干中的暗示入手。I don’t have a job告诉我们现在的状况，再由I would find one可知是对现在的虚拟，因此，but后的句子应该是现在的事实，故用一般现在时。

　　7．This shop will be closed for repairs ________ further notice.

　　A．with

　　B．until

　　C．for

　　D．at

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：在另行通知前，这家店将停业整顿。until further notice表示“在另行通知前”。

　　8．The pen I________I________is on my desk，right under my nose.

　　A．think；lost

　　B．thought；had lost

　　C．think；had lost

　　D．thought；have lost

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：我以为已丢了的钢笔却在我的桌子上，就在眼皮底下。thought是过去时；“笔丢失了”是在“thought”之前，所以用过去完成时。

　　9．The customer didn’t choose________of the coats and went away without looking at a third one.

　　A．both

　　B．all

　　C．any

　　D．either

　　答案　D

　　解析　not与both，all连用为部分否定，与any either连用为完全否定。根据后半句可知用完全否定且两个coats不可用any，故选D项。

　　10．—Is anything________？

　　—I can’t decide which dress I should wear at my friend’s wedding party.

　　—I don’t think it________.

　　A．the matter；the matter

　　B．matter；matters

　　C．the matter；matters

　　D．matter；the matter

　　答案　C

　　解析　当matter作表语时前应有冠词； “I don’t think it matters.”意为“我认为那不重要”。

　　11．Playing football and watching TV________both interesting.

　　A．were

　　B．was

　　C．are

　　D．is

　　答案　C

　　解析　不定式短语或动词短语作主语时，谓语动词应用单数，然而此题中and连接了两个动名词短语，因此谓语动词要用复数，故答案为C。

　　12．It must be he that has stolen Mr.Smith’s purse，________？

　　A．hasn’t he

　　B．isn’t he

　　C．mustn’t it

　　D．isn’t it

　　答案　D

　　解析　强调句型的反意疑问句，现在或将来用isn’t it，过去用wasn’t it。

　　13．In which play is________your brother appear?

　　A．that where

　　B．this when

　　C．it that

　　D．it where

　　答案　C

　　解析　It is...that是强调句型，被强调部分是in which play。

　　14．He wishes to make friends with________shares his hobbies and interests.

　　A．someone

　　B．no matter who

　　C．whoever

　　D．anyone

　　答案　C

　　解析　此题with后面的空格要求接一个连接代词，这个词必须能在从句中作主语，又能连接这个名词性从句，整个句子作with的宾语。故选C。

　　15．Because of the bad weather，my mother________and lay in bed.She________for a week.

　　A．has been ill；was ill

　　B．fell ill；has fallen ill

　　C．fell ill；has been ill

　　D．fell ill；is ill

　　答案　C

　　解析　fall ill意为“患病，得病”；be ill意为“生病”，表示状态。第一空由and后的并列谓语lay得知，应用fell ill。第二空由for a week可知应用现在完成时，has been ill for a week表示“病了一个星期了”。

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　You may think that sailing is a difficult sport，but it is really not hard to learn it.You do not need to be strong.But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.

　　First，you must ask yourself，“Where is the wind coming from？Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side？” You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.

　　Let’s start with the wind blowing from behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.

　　If the wind is blowing from the side，it is blowing across the boat.In this case，you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45°angle to the boat.It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind，but it shouldn’t flap (摆动)．It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole.If it is flapping，it is probably out too far，and the boat will slow down.

　　Sailing into the wind is not possible.If you try，the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible，but you can’t go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking，you must always keep the sail inside the boat.(2017·大纲全国Ⅱ，B)

　　1．What should you consider first while sailing?

　　A．Sailors’ strength.

　　B．Wave levels.

　　C．Wind directions.

　　D．Size of sails.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“First，you must ask yourself，‘Where is the wind coming from？...’”可知要进行帆船运动，首先要知道的就是“风向”。A项“水手的力气”；B项“海浪的等级”；D项“帆的大小”均不符合题意。

　　2．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?

　　A．The boat.

　　B．The wind.

　　C．The sail.

　　D．The angle.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据后面的“...to catch the wind...”可知只有风帆才能“鼓满风”，因此答案应为C项。

　　3．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?

　　A．Move in a straight line.

　　B．Allow the sail to flap.

　　C．Lower the sail.

　　D．Tack the boat.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。文章最后一段主要是说明逆风行船的问题，根据“It is possible，but you can’t go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.”可知A、B、C三项均不符合题意。故D项正确。

　　4．Where can you probably find the text?

　　A．In a popular magazine.

　　B．In a tourist guidebook.

　　C．In a physics textbook.

　　D．In an official report.

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判断题。一般的科普性说明文大多刊登在杂志上，而不会出现在“旅游指南”“物理课本”里，更不可能出现在“官方报道”中。
