D．a(chǎn)stonished；confusing參考答案：A4.Wefoundthestudentsseatedattablesandhadtheireyes_____onthesceneofthelaunchofShenzhouspaceship.A.fixed

B.fix

C.fixing

D.tofix參考答案：A解析：fixone’seyes/attentionon/upon為固定短語(yǔ),意為“注視,注意”,故此處應(yīng)用過去分詞形式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。5.Whatwilltheworlduseforpowerwhenithas_______oil?A．givenoutof

B．givenoutC．runoutof

D．runout參考答案：C考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。句意：當(dāng)石油枯竭的時(shí)候，全世界將會(huì)用什么作為能源呢。（1）runoutof意為“用完了”，是及物短語(yǔ)，表示主動(dòng)意義，主語(yǔ)一般是人。(2)runout意為“用完”，是不及物短語(yǔ)，其主語(yǔ)通常為時(shí)間、食物、金錢等名詞。3)giveout用盡，精疲力竭，為不及物短語(yǔ)。故C選項(xiàng)正確。6.I'llgotothelibraryassoonasIfinishwhatI

.A.wasdoing

B.amdoing

C.havedone

D.hadbeendoing參考答案：B7.I________morecarefulinthatquiz.Imadetoomanystupidmistakes.A.mustbe

B.couldhavebeenC.musthavebeen

D.couldbe參考答案：B【詳解】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句意：在那次測(cè)驗(yàn)中我本可以更加仔細(xì)。我犯了太多愚蠢的錯(cuò)誤了。對(duì)過去事情的推測(cè)，用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+havedone。couldhavebeen對(duì)過去的推測(cè)，“某人可能做過某事”；musthavebeen對(duì)過去的推測(cè)，“一定已經(jīng)，肯定已經(jīng)…”。故選B。8.Itismostdesirablethathe___handswithusinourcommoneffort.A.join

B.joined

C.willjoin

D.bejoined參考答案：A9.(原創(chuàng)）—Lucyiscryingforyourwords.

B.sensible

C.positive

D.curious參考答案：A11.Foramomentnothinghappened.Then

allshoutingtogether.A.voiceshadcome

B.didvoicescomeC.voiceswouldcome

D.camevoices參考答案：D句意：有一會(huì)兒什么都沒有發(fā)生，然后傳來了眾人齊喊的聲音。表示時(shí)間的詞then放于句首，且主語(yǔ)是名詞，句子要用完全倒裝，故選D?！究键c(diǎn)】考查全部倒裝12.Doyouknowthereason_____studentsaresolazy.A.that

B.which

C.forwhich

D.withwhich參考答案：C考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意：你知道學(xué)生們?nèi)绱藨卸璧脑騿?？從句子結(jié)構(gòu)看，本句是含定語(yǔ)從句中，先行詞為thereason，而定語(yǔ)從句中studentsaresolazy.缺少相對(duì)應(yīng)的的原因狀語(yǔ)forthereason,所以該空可以填why或者forwhich；故選C。13. —Youdidn’thaveagoodtimeattheparty?—No,I_____alotfromthenoisemadebytheband.

A.worried

B.suffered

C.heard

D.benefited參考答案：B14.

B.youC.usD.then參考答案：36.A解析：選項(xiàng)B和C與下一句中papers在數(shù)上不一致，選項(xiàng)D不合文意。根據(jù)文意及papers、test兩詞的提示可決定選A，表示一次算數(shù)測(cè)驗(yàn)。37.C解析：that從句所表示的情況只有在評(píng)卷時(shí)才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，故選C.paper作為可數(shù)名詞可表示“試卷”，markthepapers意為“評(píng)卷”，answerthepapers意為“答卷”，completethepapers意為“答完試卷”,examine與thepapers不能搭配。38.B解析：下一句末尾的it指的就是本題要填的詞，而這個(gè)詞所表示的事情顯然與這十二位男生有關(guān)。從上文已知道這十二位男生在考試中所出的錯(cuò)誤完全一樣，那么這是件什么性質(zhì)的事情呢？顯然是“作弊行為”，根據(jù)詞義，應(yīng)選B。本句的意思是：“考試中的作弊確實(shí)沒有什么新招?！?9.A解析：正因?yàn)镸rsO’Neill了解學(xué)生一般怎樣在考試中作弊的，所以她對(duì)此什么話也沒說。根據(jù)文意及下一句中的only可以決定本題應(yīng)用否定形式。這里強(qiáng)調(diào)的是一個(gè)事實(shí)而不是一個(gè)意愿，故選A，而不選D。40.C解析：下一段是包括作者在內(nèi)的十二位同學(xué)課后留下來的情況，故選C。文中沒有apologize的內(nèi)容，故應(yīng)排除D。41.A解析：第二分句的either一般用于否定一個(gè)情況后又否定一個(gè)情況的場(chǎng)合，因此，本題必須用否定詞。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有A適合。42.D解析：首先排除B、C兩項(xiàng)。表示“原諒”時(shí)excuse常與me連用，excuseme表示“對(duì)不起”、“請(qǐng)?jiān)彙?，作為客套語(yǔ)，常用于要走開、詢問、插話、表示異議等場(chǎng)合。表示這一意思時(shí)，excuse通常不用與句中與其他人稱代詞連用，故排除A。scold符合句意，故選D，句意是：“既沒問問題，也沒有訓(xùn)斥”。43.A解析：ThomasMacaulay的名言已出現(xiàn)在本文的開頭,故選A。above作定語(yǔ)是可位于被修飾名詞的前面，也可位于后，Theabovewords=thewordsabove意為“以上的話”。44.D解析：A、B、C三項(xiàng)中的動(dòng)詞都不能使麥考萊的話進(jìn)入練習(xí)本，只有copy這一動(dòng)作得以完成，故選D。指語(yǔ)言時(shí)，repeat通常指口頭重復(fù)。麥考萊這句名言的意思是：“衡量一個(gè)人的真正為人，要看他在知道永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被人發(fā)現(xiàn)的情況下做些什么?！?5.B解析：下文所述內(nèi)容主要是作者學(xué)習(xí)了麥考萊這句名言以后的感受及對(duì)他以后性格的影響，但至于另十一位同學(xué)的感受，作者不了解，故選B。46．C解析：指自己日后受益匪淺的“教訓(xùn)”，incident與句子主語(yǔ)it一致，指這件事，但incident一詞沒有反映出下文作者所敘述的思想變化，故應(yīng)排除。A、D兩項(xiàng)與文意不符。47．B雖然時(shí)隔三十年，時(shí)間那么長(zhǎng)久，但麥考萊的名言對(duì)于作者來說仍然是記憶猶新，是生活準(zhǔn)繩，選B。本題用still與前面的Thirtyyears構(gòu)成時(shí)間上的對(duì)比。48．A解析：這里是指衡量自己的一種方法，故選A。49．B解析：根據(jù)下一句Butallofus，這里應(yīng)用否定詞，故排除A、C。我們當(dāng)中總要有人作出象國(guó)家是否參加戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、軍隊(duì)是否去打仗這樣的重大決定，但做出這樣重大決定的人畢竟為數(shù)不多，故排除D而選B。50.C解析：這樣的決定當(dāng)然是重大決定，故選C。51．D解析：callonsb.todosth.表示“要求某人做某事”。callsb.out意為“把某人叫出去”，callsb.up意為“給某人打電話”，兩者雖然能接不定式，但不符合語(yǔ)境。callforsb.雖也有“要求某人”之意，但不能接不定式。

52．A解析：下一問句已有提示。A項(xiàng)表示“應(yīng)該或不應(yīng)該做某事”。

53．A解析：change在這里作“零錢”解。把這一題和余下一題結(jié)合起來理解，不難選出extra與returned這兩詞相符答案，本題選A。54．D解析：多余的找頭應(yīng)該歸還，故選D。

55．B解析：根據(jù)下一句中的主語(yǔ)，這里應(yīng)選B。意思是：“這樣的事只有你知道”。這里的you是泛指，指任何人。
