參考答案

1.D

2.C

3.B解析：此處是對將來情況的假設。虛擬條件句的謂語部分為should，had或were時，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語之前，構成主謂部分倒裝。

4.C

5.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應選A。

6.C解析：本題考查詞義的辨別。rise出現(xiàn)，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

7.A解析：while意為“雖然”；as意為“因為”；if意為“如果”；since意為“因為”。根據(jù)題意選A。

8.D本題考查時態(tài)。

【應試指導】句意：當你寫信回家的時候，請代我向你的妻子問好。在時間狀語從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時。

9.B

10.A解析：favor：幫助，一般用domeafavor；good：好處；help不與do搭配：kindness：善良。故選A。

11.C所有的學生都去看了昨天的魔術表演。它太令人不可思議了。這里主要考查的是動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么樣。Sb．bedone表示某人處于某種狀態(tài)。例：Theletteristouching．這封信令人感動。

Iammoved．我很感動。

12.C

13.B解析：本題考查動詞固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介詞of，表示剝奪什么。

14.B

15.B考查反義疑問句。原句應是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反義疑問句的規(guī)則是陳述部分是肯定式，疑問部分應是否定式。Wouldthink表示推測，疑問部分也應選擇would。選項B是正確的?！揪渥哟笠狻磕汶y道還認為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

16.B解析：encourage：鼓勵、鼓舞；discourage：使泄氣；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根據(jù)句意只有選B。

17.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。給她臉上澆些水，或許她會醒過來。本題考查詞組辨析。comeround：過訪，繞道而來，蘇醒過來；comeback：回來，恢復；comeagain：再說一遍，重復一遍；comeout：出來，傳出。

18.C解析：副詞so置于句首，句子應該用倒裝語序，某人受傷用sb.beinjured來表示，故答案為C。

19.C

20.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語從句，指代前邊一句話。本題涉及句法知識——簡單句、并列句和復合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復合句)

21.Todaywestilldistinguish,evenamongrepetitivejobs,betweentheskilledandtheunskilled;butintheyear2020allrepetitionwillbeunskilled.今天我們甚至在重復性的工作中仍然要分清技術工種和非技術工種，但是到了2020年，所有重復性的工作都將是非技術性工作了。

26.玩耍是童年時代的主要活動。近幾年來越來越多的研究表明，玩耍在人類的成長中起著極其重要的作用。從嬰兒時期，每個孩子都需要有機會和有合適的物品來玩耍。它們的主要功能是提示、鼓勵和幫助孩子們玩耍。為了達到這一目的，它們必須是好的玩具，孩子們會經(jīng)常玩這些玩具，而且可以經(jīng)常反復地玩它。所以在孩子的不同發(fā)展階段，選擇適當?shù)耐婢吆苤匾?。近幾年針對嬰兒成長的研究已經(jīng)表明，在孩子繼承父母遺傳的能力的范圍內(nèi)，能達到的智力水平很大程度上取決于他生命中最初的三年。
