　　A．concentrating　 　B．concentrated

　　C．to concentrate

　　D．concentrates

　　答案：B　考查with复合结构。concentrate...on...“将……集中于……”即concentrate与attention构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用concentrate的过去分词形式作宾语补足语。

　　2．(2017·山东省实验中学高三质检)—Is that phone for personal use?

　　—No. In no case ________ to use it in the office for personal affairs.

　　A．anyone is allowed

　　B．is anyone allowed

　　答案：B　考查倒装句。in no case等表示否定意义的短语放于句首时，句子应该使用部分倒装，即把助动词提前。

　　3．(2017·江西九校联考)Although he has been studying abroad, his parents try to keep him ________ of what has happened at home.

　　A．warned

　　B．told

　　C．reminded

　　D．informed

　　答案：D　句意：虽然他一直在国外读书，但是他的父母尽可能使他了解国内发生的事。过去分词informed作宾语补足语，keep sb. informed of意思是“使某人了解……”。

　　4．(2017·哈尔滨高三质检)He was driving home on the highway last night when he was stopped by a policeman, ________.

　　A．who was charged by speeding

　　B．who accused him of speeding

　　C．which was warned of speeding

　　D．whom reminded him to speed

　　答案：B　本题综合考查几个语言点。首先是考查非限制性定语从句，修饰policeman；其次考查“因……而控告某人”的表达，应用accuse...of或charge...with。

　　5．(2017·山东四市联考)A survey done recently shows that not all parents ________ their children taking part in the weekend classes.

　　A．escape

　　B．lead to

　　C．imagine

　　D．approve of

　　答案：D　句意：最近的一项调查表明并非所有的父母都赞成孩子参加周末补习班。approve of“支持；赞同”，与句意相符。escape“逃脱；避开”；lead to“导致；通向”；imagine“想象”。

　　6．(2017·重庆南开中学高三质检)—Did you hear that Li Hua was robbed during his recent trip to South Africa?

　　—Yes, not only ________ his money, but he was nearly killed.

　　A．he lost

　　B．did he lose

　　C．he had lost

　　D．was he lost

　　答案：B　考查倒装句型。在not only...but also...引导的句型中，当not only置于句首时，其后的句子应用部分倒装结构，故先排除A、C两项；再根据句意“不但丢了钱，还差点丢了性命”可知选B项。

　　7．(2017·江西新余一中月考)You may ________ it that he will turn up and offer help in time.

　　A．decide on

　　C．which

　　D．in which

　　答案：D　本题考查考生对定语从句及引导词的运用。句意：对于心灵的关爱是一个渐进的过程。在这个过程中，即使是生活的小细节也应该考虑到。根据主从句之间的关系可知，空格处所填词引导定语从句，且在从句中作状语，所以选D项，in which指代in the process。

　　9．(2017·北京，30)I took my driving license with me on holiday, ________ I wanted to hire a car.

　　A．in case

　　B．even if

　　C. ever since

　　D．if only

　　答案：A　本题考查连词。句意：我度假时随身带着驾照，以防我想租车。in case“以防万一”，引导条件状语从句；even if“纵然，即使”，引导让步状语从句；ever since“自……以来”，引导时间状语从句；if only“要是……就好了”，后接虚拟语气的从句。由句意可知正确答案为A。

　　(2017·会昌二中月考)

　　To the Editor，

　　Re Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold (Sunday Review, Nov. 6): I first met Lindsay Lohan in 1997 when she was 11 and I was the casting director (挑选演员的人) of the film The Parent Trap.

　　I was struck by her talent, fresh charm and innocence the moment I caught sight of her. She was, and remains, a gifted actress and a good human being.

　　It is not for me to judge Ms Lohan's choices, or whether fame has been less than kind to her, but I have been greatly saddened by the way the media have chosen, with all gloves off and seemingly going with what could please them, to record her efforts and failures.

　　She is a sentient (能感知事物的) human being, not a thing, not a product, not anything else to be sold.

　　Charles McGrath makes several attractive points in his news analysis about the public demand which is impossible to satisfy, in a 24/7 news cycle forever changed by the Internet, to gossip about, and give nearly complete access to, celebrity or famous persons' lives. Perhaps people do feel better knowing that wealth and fame do not lead to a perfect life for everyone.

　　Perhaps we admire famous people only to reject them without any pity or mercy when their behavior disappoints us.

　　I find it ironic (讽刺的) that Ms Lohan's decision to pose for Playboy for a monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable, while journalists and photographers gain profit by writing about and capturing images of her and other famous people.

　　Perhaps when reporting on and reading about famous people who have lost their way, we will remember that those people are also very human people who, like us, make mistakes, endure misfortune and have a chance—in spite of media coverage—to begin a completely new life tomorrow.

　　(2017·沈阳市二模)

　　The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly，” said Mrs. Brown, a 56­year­old woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7­year­old cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extra­special lunch, she called the police. When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white.

　　“Is Clyde your child or your pet？” the officer asked. “Well, he's my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！” said the annoyed

　　policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a

　　billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an

　　empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it.

　　She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.

　　The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.

　　Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇资讯报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了，她就此请求大家给予帮助。

　　6．The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．posters

　　B．pilots

　　C．billboards

　　D．newspapers

　　答案：A　词义猜测题。警察建议Mrs. Brown “put up flyers”，再根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.”可推知，flyer指的是“an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole”，故答案A海报，符合文意。

　　7．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The police officer thought that Clyde was Mrs. Brown's child.

　　B．Mrs. Brown put up an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.

　　C．Clyde had kept Mrs. Brown company for seven years in total.

　　D．Someone rented the billboard for Mrs. Brown for one month.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“‘Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！’ said the annoyed policeman”可知，答案A符合文意。should此处表示惊讶。

　　8．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．the billboard off the highway costs $ 3 000 a month

　　B．the neighbors helped Mrs. Brown to put up flyers

　　C．Mrs. Brown doesn't give up the hope of finding Clyde

　　D．Clyde only had half of his left ear but had all his teeth

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.”和对文章最后两段的整体理解可以推断出，Mrs. Brown并没有放弃寻找宠物猫，故答案C符合文意。

　　9．What is probably the best title for the passage?

　　A．A Nearby Billboard

　　B．Clyde and Mrs. Brown

　　C．A Missing Cat

　　D．Persons or Cats

　　答案：C　标题概括题。根据文章第一段第一句“The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.”的开篇点题和对全文的整体理解可知，本文主要讲的是一个老太太寻找一只丢失的猫的相关信息，故答案C符合文意。
