　　活页练(二)单项填空＋阅读理解＋Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．When we saw the road ________ with snow，we decided to spend the holiday at home.(2017·北京，29)A．block

　　B．to block

　　C．blocking

　　D．blocked

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查非谓语动词作宾语补足语的用法。句意为：当看到道路被雪封住，我们决定在家度假。block与road为动宾关系，故选D项。

　　2．Laura was away in Paris for over a week.When she got home，there was a pile of mail________for her.(2017·辽宁，28)

　　A．waited

　　B．to wait

　　C．waiting

　　D．was waiting

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：Laura出差巴黎一周多，当她回家时，有一堆邮件在等着她。分析句子可知，空格处用作后置定语修饰mail，且mail与wait之间为主动关系。waited为过去分词，表示被动或完成；to wait为不定式，表示未发生的动作；waiting为现在分词，表示主动和正在进行；was waiting为过去进行时的谓语部分，而句中不缺少谓语。故选C项。

　　3．The sun began to rise in the sky，________the mountain in golden light.(2017·湖南，25)

　　A．bathed

　　B．bathing

　　C．to have bathed

　　D．having bathed

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查非谓语动词的用法。句意为：太阳开始在天空升起，金黄色的阳光沐浴着大山。主语the sun和动词bathe“沐浴”是主动关系，所以用现在分词短语作伴随状语。

　　4．You cannot accept an opinion________to you unless it is based on facts.(2017·湖南，29)

　　A．offering

　　B．to offer

　　C．having offered

　　D．offered

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查非谓语动词的用法。句意为：除非观点是建立在事实基础之上，否则你不能接受别人的观点。分析句子成分后可知，“________to you”是分词短语作后置定语修饰opinion，而opinion和动词offer之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词。

　　5．________warm at night，I would fill the woodstove，then set my alarm clock for midnight so I could refill it.(2017·湖南，31)

　　A．Staying

　　B．Stayed

　　C．To stay

　　D．Stay

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查非谓语动词的用法。句意为：为了在晚上取暖，我会填满柴炉，再定好闹钟，以便半夜能起来再填一次。根据语境可知此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故答案选C项。

　　6．The driver wanted to park his car near the roadside but was asked by the police________.(2017·新课标全国Ⅰ，28)

　　A．not to do

　　B．not to

　　C．not do

　　D．do not

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查不定式的否定及省略。句意为：司机想把车停在路边，但是警察提醒他不可以。句中by the police为干扰部分，可以去掉，句式为ask sb.to do sth.的被动语态的否定形式。A选项后加it也正确。

　　7．________at the cafeteria before，Tina didn’t want to eat there again.(2017·山东，33)

　　A．Having eaten

　　B．To eat

　　C．Eat

　　D．Eating

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查非谓语动词作状语。句意为：以前在那家自助餐吃过饭，蒂娜不想再去那里吃了。解答本题的关键是分析句子结构。句子的主语Tina与eat构成主动关系，需用doing；再根据句中的关键词before知“eat”这一动作发生在主句谓语动词“didn’t want”之前，故用doing的完成形式having done，因此本题选having eaten。

　　8．________ how others react to the book you have just read creates an added pleasure.、

　　(2017·浙江，7)

　　A．Hearing

　　B．Hear

　　C．Having heard

　　D．To be hearing

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：听到别人对你刚读的一本书的反应会增加你的快乐感。you have just read为省略that或者which的定语从句， creates an added pleasure是谓语和宾语，空格处需要填一个可作主语的非谓语动词。B项为动词原形，不能作主语；C项是作状语的形式；D项表示将来进行的动作，不符合题意。A项为动名词，可作主语，故A项正确。

　　9．The engine just won’t start.Something seems ________ wrong with it.(2017·重庆，34)

　　A．to go

　　B．to have gone

　　C．going

　　D．having gone

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。动词seem后只能接不定式，不接doing，故排除C、D两项；又go wrong动作发生在谓语动词之前，故用不定式的完成式。

　　10．I stopped the car________a short break as I was feeling tired.(2017·山东，29)

　　A．take

　　B．taking

　　C．to take

　　D．taken

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查非谓语动词——不定式作目的状语。根据语境，此处应用to do不定式表达停车的目的。所以答案选C项。

　　11．With the couple________in a nearby town，the house seems pretty empty most of the time.

　　A．work

　　B．to work

　　C．working

　　D．worked

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查with复合结构。work 和其逻辑主语the couple是主谓关系，表示现在的状况，所以用现在分词表主动。句意为：这对夫妻在附近镇上上班，(他们的)房子大部分时间都是空荡荡的。

　　12．________to get a seat for the concert，he didn’t mind standing in a queue all night.

　　A．Determine

　　B．To be determined

　　C．Determined

　　D．Being determined

　　答案　C

　　解析　过去分词作原因状语，“Determined to get a seat for the concert”相当于“Because he was determined to get a seat for the concert”。

　　13．The direct flight has proved successful，________ Taiwan another tourist destination for people on the mainland.

　　A．made

　　B．making

　　C．make

　　D．makes

　　答案　B

　　解析　从句意可知，后文是前文的结果，且主语与动词make之间为主谓关系，因此用现在分词making作结果状语。

　　14．You should understand the traffic rule by now.You’ve had it ________ often enough.

　　A．explaining

　　B．to explain

　　C．explain

　　D．explained

　　答案　D

　　解析　此题考查“have sth.done”结构。

　　15．He hurried to the station，only ________ that the train had left.

　　A．to find

　　B．finding

　　C．found

　　D．to be found

　　答案　A

　　解析　根据句意可知，空白处表示一个意想不到的结果，因此用“only＋不定式”表示，又因句子的主语和find之间为主谓关系，因此用不定式的主动式。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　ADDIS ABABA，Ethiopia—One of the world’s most famous fossils (化石)—the 3.2 million­year­old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974—will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States，officials said Tuesday.

　　Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice.The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital，Addis Ababa，is a_replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom.A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston，Texas，spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U．S.tour，which will start in Houston next September.

　　“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today，is one of the best kept secrets in the world，”said Joel Bartsch，director of the Houston museum.

　　The six­year tour will also go to Washington，New York，Denver and Chicago.Officials said six other U．S.cities may be on the tour.But they said plans had not yet been worked out.

　　Traveling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.

　　Lucy，her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery，is part of the skeleton of what was once a 3 foot­tall ape­man(猿人)．(2017·大纲全国Ⅱ，D)

　　1．The author writes this text mainly to________.

　　A．introduce a few U．S.museums

　　B．describe some research work

　　C．discuss the value of an ape­man

　　D．report a coming event

　　答案　D

　　解析　主旨大意题。纵观整篇文章可知，这篇报道主要介绍了将在美国巡回展出世界上最著名的化石之一“Lucy”。故为“报道一件即将到来的事件”。

　　2．What do the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

　　A．A painting of the skeleton.

　　B．A photograph of Lucy.

　　C．A copy of the skeleton.

　　D．A written record of Lucy.

　　答案　C

　　解析　词义猜测题。本题可以根据画线词后的“while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom”进行推测。“while”表示转折，所以画线词肯定与“real”语意相反，故答案应为C，意为“一个骨骼的复制品”。A项为“骨骼的画像”；B项为“Lucy的照片”；D项为“Lucy的书面记录”。

　　3．How many cities has Lucy’s U．S.tour plan already included?

　　A．Four.

　　B．Five.

　　C．Six.

　　D．Eleven.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“...which will start in Houston...”和第四段中的“...will also go to Washington，New York，Denver and Chicago.”可知已经确定的展出城市为5个。

　　4．What was the skeleton named after?

　　A．An ape­man.

　　B．A song.

　　C．A singer.

　　D．A camp.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Lucy，her name taken from a Beatles song...”可知化石的名字来自于甲壳虫乐队的一首歌。

　　B

　　Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman

　　Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice，Jane Austen’s most famous work，might be updated,200 years on.

　　Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life，as would her characters.Here’s my own suggestion...

　　It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men，however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.

　　“My dear husband，” said his hopeful wife one day，“have you heard that the local store，standing empty for so long，is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”

　　Her dull and indifferent(漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.

　　“But it is，it is，” she replied excitedly.

　　Mr Dull­Husband made no reply.

　　“Don’t you want to know her plans？” she cried with some impatience.

　　“Well，clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I’d better listen.”

　　“Well，my dear，the rumour(传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England，though how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me.She will move in herself next month.”

　　“What is her name？”

　　“Bingley.”

　　“Is she married or single？”

　　“What a question！And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”

　　“How so？How can it possibly affect them？”

　　“My dear love：those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”

　　“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”

　　“Nonsense，my love，how little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first­rate degree and some sort of business qualification，I’m told.She surely needs one of our boys！Perhaps you might give her a call.”

　　“Me？No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks，after all.She may even offer you a job.”

　　“Oh，that’s not likely.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it，I think I’ll go along all the same.”

　　And Mrs Bennet went along.That was 10 years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE­listed company.

　　...It would remain the case，of course，that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board，that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues，her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan(年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs.Still，she’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed(攀谈) with influential figures.(2017·福建，D)

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

　　A．Austen was born 200 years ago.

　　B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.

　　C．Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.

　　D．Austen’s updated work gains popularity.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。由第一段第一句“Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.”我们可以发现Austen的成功主要由于她的智慧。所以正确答案为C。

　　6．The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ________.

　　A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley

　　B．felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley

　　C．was extremely anxious to meet Bingley

　　D．had a great curiosity about Bingley

　　答案　A

　　解析　句意理解题。由文章划线句子“how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me”可知Mrs Bennet对Bingley有羡慕和吃惊的复杂情感，因此正确答案为A。

　　7．In the eyes of Mrs Bennet，Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.

　　A．get married to

　　B．work for her

　　C．help her move in

　　D．take over her store

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。由文中的句子“those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”可知Mrs Bennet推测出Bingley需要工人，他们的儿子有机会为她工作。

　　8．What does the writer intend to tell us?

　　A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men.

　　B．Women have to pay a high price for success.

　　C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice.

　　D．Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.答案　D

　　解析　推理判断题。由文章最后一段可知，在当今性别歧视仍然存在，因此，正确答案为D。
