　　A．as long as

　　B．even though

　　C．in case D．as if

　　答案　C

　　解析　in case以防，假如。句意为：把你的钥匙留给你的邻居，以防有一天你把自己锁在外面。as long as表示“条件”，意为“只要”；even though引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”；as if引导方式状语从句，意为“似乎，好像”。

　　2．It is hard for the Greek government to get over the present difficulties ________ it gets more financial support from the European Union.

　　(2017·福建，30)A．if

　　B．unless

　　C．because

　　D．since

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：希腊政府很难克服目前的困境，除非它从欧盟得到更多的经济支持。unless相当于if...not，引导条件状语从句，符合要求。

　　3．Everything was placed exactly________he wanted it for the graduation ceremony.(2017·天津，14)

　　A．while

　　B．when

　　C．where

　　D．though

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：为这次毕业典礼所准备的东西全部放在了他所预期的精确的位置上。根据句意以及题干中关键信息词was placed exactly以及he wanted it可知，强调的是一个地点概念，且句子不缺少任何成分，只缺一个地点状语与前文呼应。故答案为C项。

　　4．________hard you try，it is difficult to lose weight without cutting down the amount you eat.(2017·湖南，32)

　　A．However

　　B．Whatever

　　C．Whichever

　　D．Whenever

　　答案　A

　　—Don’t worry.________ it rains，we’ll still have a great time.(2017·北京，21)

　　A．Even if

　　B．As though

　　C．In case

　　D．If only

　　答案　A

　　解析　even if即使，引导让步状语从句；as though好像，引导方式状语从句；in case以防，万一，引导条件状语从句；if only要是……就好了，引导虚拟条件句。由题干中的关键信息“Don’t worry.”和“...we’ll still have a great time.”可知此处填even if(即使)。句意为：——看那些乌云！——别担心。即使下雨，我们仍然会玩得很开心。

　　6．I had hardly got to the office________my wife phoned me to go back home at once.

　　(2017·大纲全国Ⅱ，11)

　　A．when

　　B．than

　　C．until

　　D．after

　　答案　A

　　解析　句意为：我刚到办公室，我妻子就打电话让我立刻回家。“hardly...when...”是固定句型，意为“刚……就……”。类似的结构还有scarcely...when...，no sooner...than...。以上结构中当no sooner，hardly，scarcely放在句首时句子要用倒装语序。

　　C．whichever

　　D．wherever

　　答案　A

　　解析　句意为：请打电话让我的秘书安排一个会议，在今天下午或是任何你方便的时候。whenever无论何时；however无论如何；whichever无论哪一个；wherever无论何地。此处or连接的是和this afternoon并列的两个时间状语(从句)，故只有A项正确。

　　A．Since

　　B．While

　　C．If

　　D．As

　　答案　B

　　解析　句意为：尽管他们都是很有实力的求职者，但是只有一个人会被选中担任这一职位。since因为，既然；while尽管；if如果；as因为。根据句意选while。

　　10．________regular exercise is very important，it’s never a good idea to exercise too close to bedtime.(2011·天津，5)

　　A．If

　　B．As

　　C．Although

　　D．Unless

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：虽然有规律的锻炼很重要，但在临睡觉前锻炼却从来不是个好主意。if可引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”；as可引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时”，若引导让步状语从句，句子需用倒装；分析前后句可知，前句为后句的让步状语，故选C项，although表示“虽然”，可引导让步状语从句；unless表示“除非”，引导条件状语从句。

　　11．He was so deep in thought，thinking of the problem ________ he knocked into the tree without noticing it.

　　A．when

　　12．We had to be patient because it ________ some time ________ we got the full results.

　　A．has been；since

　　B．had been；until

　　C．was；after

　　D．would be；before

　　答案　D

　　解析　在“it＋be＋一段时间＋before/after/since＋从句”句型中，before从句中的动作经过一段时间后才会实现；after从句中的动作发生后已经过去了一段时间；since从句中的动作完成后到现在已经有一段时间了。结合题意可知，答案为D项。

　　13．________ he’s only just started，he knows quite a lot about it.

　　A．To consider

　　B．Considered

　　C．Considering

　　D．To be considered

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：考虑到他只是刚刚开始，他对此的了解已相当不少了。根据句意可知，该空应填一个连词。considering作连词，意为“鉴于，考虑到，就……而言”。

　　14．—What do you think I should wear for such a formal press conference?

　　—Dress ________ you like.

　　A．how

　　B．what

　　C．whatever

　　D．however

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查状语从句。dress作及物动词时，宾语为人；本题中的dress为不及物动词，所以后面应该接一个状语从句。答语句意为：你想怎么穿都行。

　　15．________ the fire breaks out，he is the first to arrive at the scene.

　　A．Every time when

　　B．Moment

　　C．No matter whenever

　　D．Every time

　　答案　D

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver，green，red，blue，yellow whatever you want.

　　It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

　　Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great

　　weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

　　My

　　first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.

　　Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.

　　I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.

　　When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon(丝带) around a bomb”．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly，she is actually a_much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.

　　Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven.Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older.Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school­bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However，the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint.

　　In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband.

　　Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country.Her first one­woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

　　(2017·安徽，C)

　　A．a far better artist

　　B．a far more gifted artist

　　C．a much stronger person

　　D．a much more famous person

　　6．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by________.

　　A．polio

　　B．her bent spine

　　C．back injuries

　　D．the operations she had

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，造成其背部疼痛的是那次校车事故(a school­bus accident)，而不是A项小儿麻痹症、B项脊柱弯曲。之后的手术是为了治疗背部的伤，而不是背部受伤的原因，故排除D项。由第二段第三句“...her back was broken in several places...”可知应选C项。

　　7．Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the________.

　　A．1930s

　　B．1940s

　　C．1950s

　　D．1970s

　　答案　B

　　8．What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo?

　　A．Devotion.

　　B．Sympathy.

　　C．Worry.
