　　1. (2017·合肥模拟)The manager put up a notice to keep the staff ________ of what to do this week.

　　A. informB. informing

　　C. informed

　　A. Hardly B. Directly

　　C. Mostly

　　D. Nearly

　　【解析】选B。directly/immediately/instantly等少数副词具有连词的功能, 用来引导状语从句, 意思是“一……就……”, 相当于as soon as, the moment等用法。

　　A. earn B. challenge

　　C. introduce

　　D. develop

　　【解析】选A。句意: 虽然他是商人, 但他的主要目标不仅仅是获利。earn后可接表示金钱含义的词, 表示“挣得……”。profit意为“利润”。

　　—Not until our plan ________ by the committee.

　　A. will be approved B. approve

　　A. make of

　　B. do with

　　C. take charge

　　D. make into

　　【解析】选A。句意: 我认为这是我们对这种材料的最好利用。本题考查短语make use of, use为先行词, that引导定语从句, 修饰use, 还原后即为: we can make the best use of the material。

　　7. Life was difficult for her, but she ________ to make ends meet.

　　A. failed B. succeeded

　　C. struggled

　　D. covered

　　【解析】选C。句意: 生活对她来说曾经很艰难, 但她努力使收支相抵。struggle to do sth. “努力做某事”。fail“失败”; succeed“成功”, 常构成短语succeed in doing sth. ; cover“覆盖; 报道”。

　　8. (2017·苏州模拟)The number of students who have graduated with a driving license has reached 200, 000, a(n) ________ of 40, 000 per year.

　　—You can’t get there ________ by swimming.

　　A. other than B. rather than

　　C. more than

　　D. less than

　　11. China Dream is a great dream ________ anyone can make a positive influence on society and contribute to our country.

　　A. which

　　B. what

　　C. where

　　D. when

　　【解析】选C。考查定语从句引导词。句意: 中国梦是一个伟大的梦, 其中每个人都可以对社会有积极的影响, 都可以对我们的祖国做出贡献。该句是一个定语从句, a great dream是先行词, 分析从句可知句子中不缺主语、宾语或表语, 所以排除掉A; B项what不能引导定语从句; a great dream在从句中作抽象的地点状语, 而不是时间状语, 故选C, where=in which。

　　12. My friend Jack devoted all the time he could spare ________ his blog.

　　A. write

　　B. to write

　　C. writing

　　D. to writing

　　【解析】选D。考查devote time to doing sth. 的用法。句意: 我朋友Jack把能抽出来的所有时间都用来写博客。句中he could spare为定语从句, 修饰time。13. (2017·盐城模拟) ________ abroad for a tour can be a great honor for an ordinary person like me.

　　A. Taken B. Being taken

　　C. Taking

　　D. Having been taken

　　【解析】选B。句意: 对于像我这样的普通人来说被带去国外旅游是件很荣幸的事情。考查动词-ing形式作主语。此处用动词-ing的被动形式。

　　A. as tiring a day as B. as a tiring day

　　C. tiring as a day as

　　D. day as a tiring as

　　【解析】选A。考查“as+形容词+a/an+单数名词+as”结构。句意: 今天我彻底打扫了房间, 之后很累, 我从来没有度过像今天这么累的一天。

　　【拓展延伸】

　　除as之外, 常用于该结构的副词还有so, too, how, 即: “so/too/how+形容词+a/an+单数名词+as”。另外, 当that用作副词, 表示“如此”时, 也可以用于该结构。例如:

　　This is too difficult a problem for me to work out.这道题太难, 我做不出来。

　　Professor Wang is so nice a person that we all respect him.

　　王教授人很好, 我们都很尊敬他。

　　How sweet a voice you have! (=What a sweet voice you have! )

　　A. which

　　B. that

　　C. it

　　D. one

　　【解析】选C。考查代词。句意: 学校应该正常开设音乐课程, 因为音乐对孩子智力发展有益。benefits后面接的是定语从句, 作宾语的关系代词which或that被省略, it是定语从句的主语, 指代前面的music。本题需要分析句子结构, 否则易误选A或B。

We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she　10　said or sang a word.

　　One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 　11　me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes! ”I opened my mouth in　12　and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart　13　started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also　14　. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.

　　Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big　15　on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had　16　so many times in our music class. The little girl, 　17　her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the　18　to learn and grow.

　　Ⅲ. 阅读理解

　　Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.

　　Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.

　　But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.

　　In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now? ”we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture, ”she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up. ”says the teacher.
