C。句意：眾所周知，大象的特征是它的長(zhǎng)鼻子。distinguish辨

28、別，使自己揚(yáng)名；recognize認(rèn)出，認(rèn)可。2. B。passive被動(dòng)的，消極的；active積極的。應(yīng)該抓住機(jī)會(huì)，所以不能太消極，所以選B。3. A。愛迪生是"發(fā)明”的電燈，所以選 invented。4. D。此句是虛擬語(yǔ)氣，句意：如果牛頓現(xiàn)在仍然活著，他將會(huì)被現(xiàn)在的科學(xué)技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的發(fā)現(xiàn)所震驚?！耙呀?jīng)被發(fā)現(xiàn)的”是現(xiàn)在的事實(shí)，不用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，所以用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。5. D o obtain獲得，取得；conclude得出結(jié)論。句意：記者們離開動(dòng)身去獲取這些重要真相。6. A o It is convenient to/for sb.表示 “對(duì)某人來(lái)說(shuō)方便” 。convenient可作定語(yǔ)

A。句意：請(qǐng)等一會(huì)兒，我去找他接電話。 hold the line意思為“別掛斷電話”，與I 'll goand ask him to answer the call.相吻合，B、C、D 均不合題意。hang off 掛斷電話。8. A。要找的人不在，所以要掛斷電話 （ring off ）,并希望她能夠回電話（ring back ）。ring up打電話； ring out 打出電話。9. B。句意：我們畢竟已經(jīng)完成了三分之二了。get over克服，熬過，做

30、完（不愉快的事等）；get through 到達(dá)，做完，打通（電話） ；give up 放棄； give away 分發(fā)，贈(zèng)送，泄露。10. A。句意：在實(shí)施這項(xiàng)工程計(jì)劃前，我們必須仔細(xì)檢查它的所有細(xì)節(jié)。go through仔細(xì)檢查，經(jīng)歷； cut through 穿過； get through 通過，接通； put through 打通電話。11.

31、們看到了一座大約10米高的石雕。由語(yǔ)境可知，逗號(hào)前部分為時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，不是表示目的，排除C、D項(xiàng)；主句的主語(yǔ) we與approach是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用動(dòng)詞 -ing 形式。13. A。句意：我希望老師能對(duì)我手下留情，否則我過不了考試。be merciful to sb.為常見句型，意為“對(duì)某人仁慈，寬容” 。14.

32、填空1 A 。從短語(yǔ)的搭配特點(diǎn)看，這里用介詞 after， practice after practice 表示“一次接一次的 訓(xùn)練”。2. D。第一段提到這個(gè)孩子很瘦弱（skinny），因此這里表示他的塊頭小，而不是他的身高或體重只有其他運(yùn)動(dòng)員的一半，因此沒有得到重用。3. B。每次訓(xùn)練他都很努力，但是在所有的比賽中他只能坐在凳子上當(dāng)觀眾。盡管如此，他還是充滿希望。用 hopeful 表示“懷有希望的” 。4. C。在所有的比賽中他都 sat on the ben ch,幾乎從來(lái)沒有參加過這些比賽。用hardly表示“幾乎不”。5. B。即使他的孩子在比賽中總是坐在凳子上觀看，從來(lái)沒有上場(chǎng)，

33、父親總是出現(xiàn)在看臺(tái)上為隊(duì)員歡呼喝彩（cheering），一場(chǎng)也不落下。故選B。第3空后有提示。6. D。見上題解析。7. A。這個(gè)孩子進(jìn)了高中還是班上塊頭最小的（smallest）學(xué)生。本空與第2空呼應(yīng)。&C。這里用be determined to do sth .表示"決心做某事”；他下定決心，要在每一場(chǎng)訓(xùn)練 中都盡全力。9. B。前面說(shuō)他進(jìn)入high school，因此這里用senior表示"（最）高年級(jí)學(xué)生”，與下一段說(shuō)他進(jìn)入大學(xué)相呼應(yīng)。10. A。整個(gè)中學(xué)階段，他每次的訓(xùn)練都不落下，每次的比賽他都在場(chǎng)，但是他仍然坐了四年的板凳。這里用 remain 表示“仍

34、然” 。11. C。而他的父親在這四年時(shí)間里一直在看臺(tái)上當(dāng)觀眾，可謂是忠誠(chéng)的支持者。這里用 faithful 表示“忠誠(chéng)的” 。12. D。盡管在這四年里孩子仍然沒能參加比賽，但父親一直鼓勵(lì)著孩子。A “同意”，B “同情”， C “評(píng)論” ，都不符合語(yǔ)境。13. A。 try out for sth .表示“參加選拔；爭(zhēng)取成為” 。他上大學(xué)了，決定去參加足球隊(duì)的選拔。14. C。把他的名字保留到候選名單上是由球隊(duì)的教練(The coach)來(lái)決定的。15. B。他每次的訓(xùn)練都是那么投入。這里用 heart and soul表示“全身心地”。16. A。他每次訓(xùn)練都是全身心地投入，這能為其他隊(duì)

35、員帶來(lái)精神(spirit)力量。17. C。 season ticket 表示“月票，長(zhǎng)期票” 。18. D。從全文這個(gè)男孩對(duì)足球的熱愛看，這里應(yīng)該用hurriedly表示“匆忙地，急忙”。最后決賽快開始的時(shí)候，他急忙跑到訓(xùn)練場(chǎng)去參加訓(xùn)練。A “快速地”不如D項(xiàng)更能描述他當(dāng)時(shí)急切的心情。B “極其，非常”，C “適當(dāng)?shù)亍?，不符合語(yǔ)境。19. D。swallow表示“抑制，使不流露”。最后一段的“swallowed harder”是答案提示。20. B。從上文的敘述可知，這將是他第一次參加比賽。因此選B。三、閱讀理解1. B。主旨大意題。從文章第一段的 I ' m going tdiscuss three space-based bus in esses that are sureto soon influence us all 可知，作者在文章中主要給我們介紹了三種與太空有關(guān)的商業(yè) 形式。2. D 。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段的 Rocketry and engine design are the main challenges 可知，要讓太空旅游便宜又安全，必須設(shè)計(jì)出新型火箭及新型發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。3. B 。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 從第五段的 Mining on other planets ， like Mars
