　　词义辨析　suspect，doubt

　　后跟名词时suspect，doubt可通用。

　　doubt用于肯定句时，后跟whether/if从句，suspect无此用法。

　　解析　考查动名词的复合结构作主语的用法。句意为：我儿子未能通过2010年大学入学考试，这使得我们全家人不愉快。根据句意和选项可知这里应该用动名词的复合结构，即“名词所有格(或形容词性物主代词)＋动名词”，故选B项。

　　A．three fifth；were

　　B．three fifth；was

　　C．three fifths；have been

　　D．three fifths；has been

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查分数表达与主谓一致。three fifths表示“五分之三”；“分数、百分数＋of＋名词”作主语时，谓语动词与of后的名词保持数的一致，此处of后的名词distance，是不可数名词，谓语动词应用单数，因此选D项。

　　3．________ in a famous university is what most students wish for.

　　A．To educate

　　B．Educated

　　C．Being educated

　　D．Educating

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查动名词作主语。该结构的逻辑主语为后面的most students，所以应用被动语态，排除A、D两项；过去分词不能作主语，排除B项。

　　4．The players ________ from the whole country are expected to bring us honour in this summer game.

　　A．selecting

　　B．to select

　　C．selected

　　D．having selected

　　答案　C

　　5．If we expect ________ much cleaner world，we should attract ________ world’s attention to protect the world.

　　A．a；a

　　B．a；/

　　C．a；the

　　D．the；/

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意为：如果我们期盼一个更加清洁的世界，我们需要得到世人对于保护地球的关注。第一空泛指一个更加清洁的世界，故用不定冠词a；world为专有名词，其前需加定冠词the。

　　6．The stadium ________ by workers now will be finished by the end of 2017.

　　A．to build

　　B．built

　　C．to be built

　　D．being built

　　答案　D

　　解析　句意为：现在正在建的那个体育场将于2017年底完工。根据句意判断此体育场现在正在建造，同时built与stadium为动宾关系，故用现在分词短语的被动式作定语。

　　7．—Mum，what are you getting me for my birthday?

　　—________，you’ll have to wait and see.

　　A．I think so

　　B．I’ll tell you what

　　C．I wouldn’t say no

　　D．I’m not telling you

　　8．—Are you still thinking about yesterday’s party?

　　—Oh，that’s ________.

　　A．what makes me feel excited

　　B．whatever I fell excited about

　　C．how I feel about it

　　D．when I feel excited

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查表语从句。what引导名词性从句时，充当句子的成分，可作主语、宾语或表语，此题中what引导表语从句，在从句中作主语。

　　9．—Were you told to attend the meeting? I didn’t see you anyway.

　　—________，but I had an accident on the way.

　　A．I was going

　　B．I would

　　C．I should have

　　D．I’d like to

　　答案　C

　　解析　根据上下文可知，“我本该去，但路上出了事，所以没有去”。should have done表示“本该做而没有做”。如果A项改为I was going to也是正确的。

　　10．—I come all the way to say “Thank you” and we ________ it without you.

　　—Think nothing of it.

　　A．should have done

　　B．mustn’t have done

　　C．couldn’t have done

　　D．needn’t have done

　　答案　C

　　解析　前句句意为：我专程来向你道谢，如果没有你，我们一定做不了这件事。should have done表示“本应该做某事而没有做”，needn’t have done意为“本不必做某事”，放在此处都不符合句意；B项must表推测时不能用于否定句。couldn’t have done意为“过去不可能做……”。

　　In 1930，he completed more musical education at Columbia University in New York City.Then he moved to Washington.For fifteen years，he taught music at Howard University in Washington.At that time，not many black musicians were known for writing or performing classical music.Teaching at Howard gave Duncan the chance to share his knowledge of classical European music with a mainly black student population.He taught special ways to present the music.These special ways became known as the Duncan Technique.

　　Besides teaching，Duncan sang in several operas with performers who were all black.But it seemed that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist.However，his life took a different turn in the middle 1930s.At that time，the famous American music writer George Gershwin was looking for someone to play a leading part in his new work Porgy and Bess.The music critic(评论家)of the New York Times newspaper suggested Todd Duncan.Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part as he knew it would not be easy to get it.But he changed his mind.He sang a piece from an Italian opera for Gershwin.He had sung only a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part.He became famous because of the part in Porgy and Bess.

　　Todd Duncan gained fame as an opera singer and concert artist.But his greatest love in music was teaching.When he stopped teaching at Howard，he continued giving singing lessons in his Washington home until the week before his death.
