　　活页练(二十二)单项填空＋阅读理解＋

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．—________ made Daisy wild with joy?

　　—Her success in the A­level exam this year.

　　A．How was it that

　　B．When was it that

　　C．Why was it that

　　D．What was it that

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查强调句型的特殊疑问句形式。此处强调主语成分“Her success in the A­level exam this year.”，相当于问句中的what。2．—You should have thanked her before you left.

　　—I meant________.But when I was leaving I couldn’t find her anywhere.

　　A．to do

　　B．to

　　C．doing

　　D．doing so

　　答案　B

　　解析　本句中的meant意思是“本来打算”其后应该使用不定式。当与want，wish，hope，like，hate，try，have，ought，used，need，be able，be going，be glad，mean等连用时， to代替不定式结构以避免重复。

　　3．I________the hobby of fishing as a child.

　　A．built up

　　B．set up

　　C．kept up

　　D．took up

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查动词短语辨析。build up意为“树立，逐步建立”；set up意为“树立(榜样)；创立；建立”；keep up意为“坚持；继续；使不低落”； take up意为“从事；开始做，学着做”。

　　4．The poet and________pianist is going to give us a talk this afternoon.

　　A．a

　　B．the

　　C．/

　　D．an

　　答案　C

　　解析　当and并列的是同一事物、同一人或同一概念时，其后面的名词前不用冠词。若在pianist前加the，则是指the poet和the pianist两个人，而题目中的the poet and pianist是指一个人，即这个人既是诗人又是钢琴家。

　　5．—Hold the ladder for me!

　　—That’s________.

　　A．all

　　B．it

　　C．all right

　　D．right

　　答案　B

　　解析　本题易错选A或C。That’s all意思是“就这些”，表示讲话或文章的结束；而That’s all right意思是“行；可以；没关系”。That’s it为固定搭配，意思是“这正是所需要的”。That’s right意思是“对，正确”。

　　6．I think whoever makes________contributions to the company than the others should get________income.

　　A．greater；a highest

　　B．more greater；a higher

　　C．greater；the highest

　　D．more greater；the higher

　　答案　C

　　解析　more不可修饰比较级，排除B和D两项。greater...than the others是用比较级形式表示最高级意义，后面也用最高级，且最高级前要用定冠词the。

　　7．It is thought that one billion people in the world，________is half the world’s workers，earn their living by farming.

　　A．if

　　B．that

　　C．which

　　D．what

　　答案　B

　　解析　句中“half the world’s workers”是对“one billion people in the world”的补充说明， “that is”是 “that is to say”的省略说法，是插入语，that并不是引导非限制性定语从句的，如果在 “that is”后加个逗号则更清楚，应选B。

　　8．—Your name again，please.________.

　　—It’s Bell Green.

　　A．I didn’t quite catch you

　　B．I couldn’t quite catch you

　　C．I don’t hear you

　　D．It’s your name答案　A

　　解析　让对方重复其姓名，是因为没有听清(表示事实)。catch此处意为“听清”。B项是干扰项，说话人要表述的是“刚才没有听清”，而不是“不能听清”。

　　9．He________the job well，but he________so careless.

　　A．had done；had been

　　B．could do；was

　　C．could have done；was

　　D．hadn’t done；had been

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：他本来能够做好那工作，但他太粗心了。答题的关键在于抓住句中的but ，but后面的句子是对过去事实的陈述，应用一般过去时；前面的句子则表示“本来能够……”，是对过去事情的推断，因此应用could have done。

　　10．In my opinion，what he told us just now about the affair simply doesn’t make any________.

　　A．idea

　　B．meaning

　　C．sense

　　D．point

　　答案　C

　　解析　make sense意为“有道理；意义清楚”。

　　11．—________is the best football player in your city?

　　—Jerry.

　　A．Do you think who

　　B．Do you think whom

　　C．Who do you think

　　D．Whom do you think

　　答案　C

　　解析　本题主要部分为Who is the best football player in your city？，do you think为插入语。

　　12．—Shall I sit at this end of the boat or the other end?

　　—If you keep still，you can sit at________end.

　　A．neither

　　B．each

　　C．either

　　D．any

　　答案　C

　　解析　either表示二者选一；each表二者或二者以上中的每一个；neither表示两者都不，也不；any表示任何一个。

　　13．It’s really hot________January in Harbin now.Better take off your coat.

　　A．in

　　B．during

　　C．for

　　D．to

　　答案　C

　　解析　for在此表示“对……来说”。若用in，则指在哈尔滨的一月，这与事实不符。

　　14．—What were you doing when I phoned you last night?

　　—I________my painting and was starting to take a bath.

　　A．have already finished

　　B．was finishing

　　C．had just finished

　　D．was going to finish

　　答案　C

　　解析　由“我要洗澡”可知昨天你打电话时“我刚刚画完”，“打电话”是过去发生的事，而“画完”在“打电话”之前，即过去的过去，故用过去完成时。

　　15．The UN should________the establishment of Iraqi government after the war，I think.

　　A．take part in

　　B．play a leading role in

　　C．play a role among

　　D．play an important part for

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：我认为联合国应该在伊拉克政府战后重建上起领导作用。play a role in为固定搭配，意为“在……中起作用”。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　AThe Powermat Wireless Charging System for iPhone 1XA claims to wirelessly charge your iPhone in three，easy steps—plug in the Powermat，place the receiver case onto your iPhone，set your iPhone on the mat and let it charge away.

　　In theory，it’s a good idea.No more looking around for your Apple charger，just drop your iPhone on the mat and walk away while it juices up your battery.

　　But to be perfectly honest，there’s no difference，or any more convenience，to just using a plug socket charger.

　　Firstly，it claims to be wireless，but you still have to find a socket to plug Powermat into.And，as it turns out，you can’t just “drop” your iPhone on to it to charge.You have to put your device(装备) into the receiver case，which connects the Powermat with your phone so it can charge.

　　But I had two problems with that.Firstly，the receiver is a bit stiff and took a few seconds to pull apart and then put on my iPhone.And this would be a process you would have to go through every time you want to use the Powermat because the receiver is too big and heavy to permanently keep on your phone.And if you have a case for your iPhone，this has to be removed first as it won’t fit inside the receiver.

　　Secondly，by the time you’ve remembered where you plugged the Powermat in，seized the receiver in order to put your iPhone inside it and then placed it on the mat，it probably would have taken less time to

　　connect your device to the Apple plug it came with.So where’s the convenience?

　　It_would_suit_someone_who_works_at_home_and_only_uses_their_iPhone_there，but_the_likelihood_of_that_is_very_slim.Powermat should also consider bringing out a battery­powered mat too，for extra convenience and to make it mobile and properly wireless.

　　1．What is the main idea of the text?

　　A．Powermat is a great idea in theory and practice.

　　B．People meet problems in making use of Powermat.

　　C．Powermat is quite suitable for people working at home.

　　D．Powermat is not as convenient as it claims to be.

　　答案　D

　　解析　主旨大意题。根据首段中的“...claims to wirelessly charge your iPhone in three，easy steps...”可知，厂家声称Powermat使用非常方便，但是纵观全文，根据作者对产品的特点进行的评论可知，这种充电设备并不像它声称的那样使用方便。

　　2．The author mentioned the two problems of Powermat in order to ________.

　　A．seek solutions

　　B．seek for help

　　C．attract attention

　　D．support his idea

　　答案　D

　　解析　写作目的题。根据第三段“But to be perfectly honest，there’s no difference，or any more convenience，to just using a plug socket charger.”可知，作者提出自己的观点，认为使用Powermat并不方便，接着通过“Firstly...Secondly...”两方面的介绍来支持自己的看法。

　　3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.

　　A．the Powermat

　　B．the receiver

　　C．the iPhone

　　D．the plug

　　答案　B

　　解析　代词指代题。作者描述的步骤是：先找到Powermat，再拿过接收器，把手机插入接收器，然后再把接收器放到Powermat上，所以it指代的是the receiver。

　　4．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph actually means ________.

　　A．Powermat is not practical

　　B．Powermat is designed for certain cases

　　C．few people like using Powermat

　　D．Powermat needs to be improved

　　答案　A解析　句意理解题。该句话的意思是：Powermat这种充电器只适合在家里工作的人，而且他们也只在家里使用iPhone，但这种可能性是很小的。由此可知，该句话的言外之意是Powermat不实用。

　　B

　　The technology is great.Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon，explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.

　　Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print­out，convinced that they have some rare incurable disease，say，throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary，though: they don’t have throat cancer，and it’s just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self­health­checks.

　　One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong，she said calmly，“I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer.I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”

　　As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X­ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn’t right.“Did your local doctor do an X­ray？” I asked.“Oh，I haven’t been to the doctor for years，” she replied.“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted，so I knew that’s what I had.”

　　However，some of her symptoms，like the severe cough and weight loss，didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.

　　I looked at the X­ray again，and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating，and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.

　　Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I’m_so_embarrassed，”she said，shaking her head，as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20，and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly，the computer was not working，so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited？(2017·湖北，D)

　　5．Mrs.Almond talked about her illness calmly because________.

　　A．she thought she knew it well

　　B．she had purchased medicine online

　　C．she graduated from a medical school

　　D．she had been treated by local doctors

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。由文章第三段“...she said calmly，‘I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer.I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.’”可知答案为A项。

　　6．It was lucky for Mrs.Almond________.

　　A．to have contacted many friends

　　B．to have recovered in a short time

　　C．to have her assumption confirmed

　　D．to have her disease identified in time

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。由文章第六段可知更多的检查表明她得的不是癌症而是肺结核，由最后一句“She was lucky we caught it when we did.”可知她的病及时被发现所以她是幸运的。故正确答案为D项。

　　7．Mrs.Almond said “I’m so embarrassed”(Para.7) because________.

　　A．she had distrusted her close friends

　　B．she had caused unnecessary trouble

　　C．she had to refuse the doctor’s advice

　　D．she had to tell the truth to the doctor

　　答案　B

　　解析　推理判断题。由最后一段第三句话“‘I’m so embarrassed，’she said，shaking her head，as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.”可推知答案为B项。

　　8．By mentioning the breakdown of the computer，the author probably wants to prove________.

　　A．it’s a must to take a break at work

　　B．it’s vital to believe in IT professionals

　　C．it’s unwise to simply rely on technology

　　D．it’s a danger to work long hours on computers

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。最后一段中作者提到了电脑出故障了，这与第一段要揭示的主题相呼应，主要证明不能完全依赖科技，故选C项。
