　　B. format

　　C. fountain

　　D. friction【解析】选A。考查名词辨析。句意: 几年前, 他买卖旧汽车积累了一笔财富, 这使他成为了镇上最富有的人之一。fortune“财富”, 符合句意。format“格式, 结构, 形式, 版式”; fountain“泉水, 喷泉”; friction“摩擦, 不和”。

　　7. (2017·常州模拟)When you ________ a new word, you’d better ________ a dictionary.

　　A. come about; refer to B. come across; consult

　　C. come across; look up

　　D. come up; consult

　　【解析】选B。句意: 当你遇到生词时, 你最好查查词典。come about发生, 产生; come across偶遇; come up被提出; consult = refer to意为“查阅”, 其宾语是a dictionary; look up也有“查阅”之意, 但其宾语是word。故B项正确。

　　10. The girl living in a small village desires that she ________ to work in the western area.

　　A. send B. is sent

　　C. be sent

　　D. should send

　　【解析】选C。desire后的宾语从句中应使用虚拟语气, 即(should+)动词原形; 由语境可知, she是send的承受者, 故应用被动语态, 选C。

　　11. —She got her first science fiction published. It turned out to be ________ .

　　—When was that?

　　—It was in 2009 ________ she was still in college.

　　A. success; that

　　B. a success; when

　　C. success; when

　　D. a success; that

　　【解析】选B。第一空a success表示“一件成功的事情”; 第二空when引导定语从句, 此处易误解为是强调句中的that, 其实本句的确是强调句型, 但that及其后面的部分被省略了, 完整句子应该是“It was in 2009 when she was still in college that she got her first science fiction published. ”。

　　12. (2017·杭州模拟) ________ at the airport, he telephoned his wife and told her what he would do when he got home.

　　A. Once arrived

　　B. As soon as he reached

　　C. When he got

　　D. On arriving

　　【解析】选D。考查状语用法。句意: 一到机场, 他就打电话给妻子告诉她到家后他要做的事情。on是介词, 可与名词或动名词连用, 表示“一……就……”。A项“arrive”与逻辑主语“he”之间为主动关系, 应用现在分词形式。B项中reached是及物动词, 后直接接宾语; C项中的get后接介词to, 故均可排除。

　　13. By the time he was 14 years old, he ________ himself advanced mathematics.

　　A. had taught

　　B. taught

　　C. has taught

　　D. was teaching

　　【解析】选A。考查动词时态。句意: 到他14岁时, 他已经自学了高等数学。by the time后面接过去时间, 主句用过去完成时。

　　14. This term several optional courses are provided, and we are free to choose ________ we are interested in.

　　A. whatever B. whicheverC. whenever

　　D. wherever

　　【解析】选B。考查名词性从句。句意: 这学期提供好几门选修课程, 我们可以任意选择感兴趣的一门。choose后为宾语从句, 宾语从句缺宾语, 排除C项和D项。结合题干several optional courses, 有范围限定, 故选择whichever。

　　【加固训练】

　　________ is left over may be put into the refrigerator to keep for a longer time.

　　A. Whenever B. Whichever

　　C. Whatever

　　D. Wherever

　　【解析】选C。考查名词性从句。句意: 剩下的任何东西都可以放入冰箱, 在那里可以保存时间长一些。whichever“无论哪一个”和whatever“无论什么”都可以在名词性从句中作主语或宾语, 一定要注意它们之间的区别: whichever是表示从已给出的里面选择任意一个; whatever表示“任何东西, 无论什么东西”, 前面没有范围。所以如果有范围用whichever; 没有范围, 用whatever。故选C。15. It was ________ she failed the exam ________ she realized how important it is that one should study with full attention.

　　A. not until; that

　　B. not until; which

　　C. not until; what

　　D. until; when

　　【解析】选A。考查强调句。句意: 直到她在考试中失败了, 她才意识到集中注意力去学习是多么重要。not. . . until. . . 句型的强调结构为“It is/was not until. . . that. . . ”。

　　【加固训练】

　　It was not until they came to the very spot ________ how serious the situation was.

　　A. did they realize B. that they realized

　　C. when they realized

　　D. where did they realize

　　【解析】选B。考查not until在强调句型中的应用。句意: 他们直到到达现场才意识到形势有多严峻。not until引导时间状语从句用在强调句型中时不需要倒装, 故答案选B。

　　. 阅读理解

　　When it was announced that Patrick Modiano had won the Nobel Prize in Literature on Oct. 9, the Swedish Academy had not yet managed to reach the writer himself to tell him the news. As The Telegraph put it, “It was a curious case of missing personhood in an author whose career had been spent in search of others, within the confines(界限)of a single city. ”

　　Though the 69-year-old French author has had a successful writing career, only six of his books have been translated into English.

　　One reason for this might be that “Modiano’s storylines are as slim as the books themselves”, said the BBC.

　　While most of Modiano’s works don’t run for hundreds of pages, they explore serious subjects. The author’s signature themes are Germany’s occupation during World WarⅡ and the evolution of Paris over the past century.

　　Modiano’s life has been greatly affected by Nazi Germany’s occupation during the war, and his family’s connections to it. According to New York-based newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably. When Paris’ Jews were rounded up for deportation(驱逐)to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market. “The novelist has a duty to record the traces of the people who have vanished, the people who were made to disappear, ”French writer Clémence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish Studies, told The New Yorker magazine.

　　In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes: Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.

　　Paris is another recurring(重复的)theme in Modiano’s works. Most of his novels are set in the city, from the rich parts of downtown Paris to more remote suburbs where the characters try to live anonymous and protected lives.

　　Anne Ghisoli, the director of Librairie Gallimard, a bookstore in Paris, concluded, “Modiano is a master of writing on memory and occupation, which haunt(萦绕)and inform his works. He is a chronicler(年代记录者)of Paris, its streets, its past, and its present. ”

　　【文章大意】本文介绍了2017年诺贝尔文学奖获得者Patrick Modiano以及他的作品。

　　1. According to the article, Patrick Modiano ________ .

　　A. likes to involve his memories in his writing

　　B. usually writes stories with complicated storylines

　　C. is so popular that most of his works have been translated into English

　　D. didn’t suffer much during World WarⅡ because his father was a successful businessman

　　【解析】选A。文中提到, 第二次世界大战对Patrick Modiano的生活和作品都有很大的影响, 所以A正确。根据“Modiano’s storylines are as slim as the books themselves”可以判断B有误。文中可知, Modiano写了至少几十本小说, 但是只有六本被翻译成了英文, 所以C有误。根据“Modiano’s life has been greatly affected by Nazi Germany’s occupation during the war, and his family’s connections to it”这句话, 以及文中提到Modiano的父亲在第二次世界大战中的行为不太光彩, 他跟纳粹分子做生意, 尤其从“his father survived the war dishonorably”这句话来看, 父亲的行为应该给他带来了羞耻感, 所以D也不对。

　　2. The underlined word “vanished” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________ .

　　A. gone

　　B. survived

　　C. connected

　　D. immigrated

　　【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据下文补充的那句“the people who were made to disappear”可以猜到, 该词的意思应该跟disappear相近。

　　3. What themes has Patrick Modiano often covered in his books?

　　a. Paris b. loss of identity

　　c. ghosts and fantasy

　　d. the Nazi occupation

　　e. adventures

　　A. abc

　　B. bce

　　C. abd

　　D. cde

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据“The author’s signature themes are Germany’s occupation during World Warand the evolution of Paris over the past century”和“In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes: Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity”及“Paris is another recurring theme in Modiano’s works”可以得此答案。

　　. 任务型阅读

　　(2017·南京模拟)

　　请阅读下面短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

　　注意: 每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Trust is in rare supply these days. People are having trouble trusting each other, according to an AP-GFK poll conducted in November 2017, which found that Americans are suspicious of each other in their everyday life. Only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted—down from half who felt that way in 1972. A record high of nearly two-thirds says “you can’t be too careful” in dealing with people in 2017.

　　This can be carried over into the workplace, where employees want their leaders to be more trustworthy. Employees have grown tired of unexpected outcomes resulting from the lack of preparation. They want to be informed of any change management efforts before—not after the fact. Employees desire to know what is expected of them and be given the opportunity to better themselves, rather than be told they are not qualified for new roles and responsibilities.

　　Here are four early warning signs for you to course-correct when employees are having trouble trusting their leaders.

　　Lack courage

　　Leaders that don’t stand up for what they believe in are difficult to respect and trust. Too many leaders waste too much of their valuable time trying to act like other leaders in the organization—rather than attempting to establish their own identity and leadership style. Employees know that if their leaders are not savvy(精明的)enough to move themselves into a position of greater influence, it will make it much more difficult for them to get noticed and discovered as well. When leaders lack the courage to enable their full potential and that of others, it becomes a challenge to trust their judgment, self-confidence, self-awareness and overall capabilities.

　　Self-centered

　　When a leader is only looking out for themselves and lacks any sense of commitment to the advancement of their employees—this shuts off employees quickly. Great leaders are great coaches and are always looking to help their employees grow. When leaders lack any real desire to coach or guide the career advancement of their employees—it becomes increasingly difficult for employees to trust them. But when leaders are too disruptive(扰乱性的), their employees sense that they are in it for themselves or don’t trust the talent around them.

　　Reputation issues

　　When people begin to speak negatively about their leader, it makes it more difficult for others to trust their intentions. For example, look at what has happened to President Barack Obama since December 2009 when his approval rating was 69%. Four years later, Obama’s approval rating is at 43%. Many who have followed him for years are now having trouble trusting him.

　　Every leader must be aware that they are constantly being evaluated and thus they can never grow self-satisfied. When they do, this begins to negatively impact their reputation and the trust employees have in their leadership.

　　Inconsistent Behavior

　　People are more inclined to trust those who are consistent with their behavior. Isn’t it easy to begin questioning one’s judgment when they are inconsistent? When everyone but the leader is on board with a strategy—you begin to wonder if their intentions are to support the organization’s advancement or their own. Leaders need to refresh their leadership style before they lose the trust of their employees.

　　This is what today leaders must consider: how to lead in new ways that focus less on oneself, but more on the betterment of a healthier whole.

　　Trust between employees and their leaders

　　Problem (1) ________ has been declining among Americans in their daily life as well as in the workplace.

　　Employees’ hopes for leaders (2) ________ trust ·Employees want to be(3) ________ to get prepared for any change management efforts in advance.

　　·Employees desire to know their leaders’ expectations of them and want to get(4) ________ to better themselves.

　　Warnings for leaders to(5) ________ the breakdown of trust ·Don’t(6) ________ other leaders and stand up for what you believe in.

　　·Be(7) ________ to helping your employees grow.

　　·Never let(8) ________ negatively impact your reputation.

　　·Behave(9) ________ or your judgment will be questioned.

　　Suggestion For leaders, more focus on the betterment of a healthier whole should be taken into(10) ________ .
