一、单项填空
1.The World Expo is like______great stage for cultural exchange,bringing people into closer contact with______rest of the world.
A.a;/B.a;the
C.the;/
D.the;the
解析:考查冠词的用法。句意:世博会就像一个文化交流的大舞台,使得世界不同地方的人们进行更加密切的接触。第一个空表示泛指“一个大舞台”,故用不定冠词a;第二个空the rest of属于固定用法表示“其余的”。
答案:B
2.—You certainly had a busy day.
—______!I also have to finish writing a sales report.
A.Never mind
B.That’s important
C.That’s not all
D.I don’t think so

答案:C
3.She was such a proud girl that she would die ______ she would admit she was wrong.
A.rather than

5.Which does he often enjoy______his weekends,playing computer games or studying?
A.spending
B.to spend

答案:B
6.—Mr.Smith,here is my homework.
—______,young man.Keep it up and you’ll make progress.
A.Congratulations
B.Good job
C.You are welcome

答案:B
9.—Which of the clothes on this shelf do you like best?
—______.They are both fashion and beautiful.

A.take on
B.take off
C.take up
D.take in

答案:A
11.This formed the center of what came to be known,and still______known,as Africa Town.
A.was
B.will be
C.is
D.had been
解析:考查时态。用一般现在时表示“现在仍然很出名”。此题考生会认为前后时态一致而错选A项。句意:这形成了逐渐闻名的中心,并且作为非洲城现在仍然很出名。
答案:C
12.While playing computer games,______.
A.the doorbell rang
B.the doorbell rings
C.I heard the doorbell ring
D.I heard the doorbell rings
解析:考查主语一致和省略。playing的逻辑主语是I,因此排除A和B,动词hear后面用动词原形作宾补,故C项符合。
答案:C
13.Although she was disabled,yet she aimed ______ when she was young,for which her classmates spoke ______ of her.
A.high;high
B.highly;highly
C.highly;high
D.high;highly

答案:D
14.The warning we were given as children______eating fast will make you fat may,in fact have a scientific explanation.
A.that

答案:A
15.—Coffee ______ milk.
—Only coffee,please,______ I used to like coffee with milk.
A.and;and
B.and;but
C.or;and
D.or;but

答案:B
二、阅读理解
A
Jim Deitz believes he’s creating a landmark(里程碑)in Grand Forks,North Dakota,but the downtown apartment house he’s painting polka dots(小圆点)on is making a city planner annoyed.
The retired house painter was putting the final polka dots on his hometurnedapartments,where passersby have been gathering to watch him work.Some people nodded but some seemed to be uninterested in it when watching the apartment.
“Pizza delivery drivers won’t have any trouble finding this place,”Deitz said so when talking about his building that
was painted in his own style.“Yon can’t miss it.”
Ryan Brooks,the city’s senior planner,said the polka dot house is an unpleasant sight there.“It’s hard to say what this gentleman’s true motives are.I think my opinion is the same as everybody else’s—I wouldn’t want to be living next to it.”Brooks said,“But the city doesn’t have a rule that forbids homeowners from painting their houses certain colors and in certain styles.”
Deitz insists that the polka dots are meant simply to brighten up the neighborhood and are not as a form of protest.Eight tenants(房客)now are living in the home,and none of them minds the new paint style.“Now people are waiting in line to get in this place so I am not worried about whether there will be a decrease of the number of my tenants,”he said.
Deitz researched several different paint jobs before picking the polka dots.“I looked at all kinds of crazy paint jobs on the Internet and came up with this polka dot idea.She looks good.”Deitz said.
Brooks believes the idea of the polka dots won’t spread to other neighborhoods in the city.“I don’t see this as a trend because most people take a 1ittle pride in their homes,”Brooks said.“The paint he’s putting on that thing is the only thing new on it.It’s in rough shape.”
退休油漆工Deitz把自己的公寓漆成圆点花纹,这一风格引起人们的格外关注,同时也遭到非议。
1.What does Deitz think of his painting in his apartment?
A.He believes the house will be a good place for a tour.
B.He thinks city planners will not like it.
C.He is proud of his work and believes it will be a great work.
D.He is not sure whether people will like it.
4.Why doesn’t Brooks like the idea?
A.Because he doesn’t like the colors and the style.
B.Because he thinks it brings bad influence to the city.
C.Because he thinks Deitz is not professional.
D.Because the tenants show little interest in it.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段But the city doesn’t have a rule that forbids homeowners from painting their houses certain colors and in certain styles但是城市没有规定禁止房主把房子刷成什么颜色和变成什么风格,可推知,Brooks不喜欢这个想法是因为它的色彩和风格。
答案:A
B
As a child,I was interested in becoming a baseball general manager.This desire changed while I was in high school,where I decided law school would be a more practical idea.After high school I went to Syracuse University,where I majored in English literature with the thought that writing skills would be important in my development as a lawyer.I graduated from Syracuse University in 1994 and began law school at Loyola University in 1996.
