解析：

5.答案：freezing

解析：

6.答案：Thunder

解析：

7.答案：bunch

解析：

8.答案：border

解析：

9答案:drilling

解析：考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：同樣的原理也被用于一種油田的鉆探方法。所填詞作介詞of

的賓語(yǔ),因此應(yīng)該用動(dòng)名詞形式。

10.答案：Seen

解析：考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:從山頂上看，這所學(xué)?？雌饋?lái)像一個(gè)大花園。see與句子主語(yǔ)

theschool之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此應(yīng)該用過(guò)去分詞。

11.答案：literally

解析：考查副詞。句意:我從字面上理解他說(shuō)的話，但他實(shí)際上另有所指。所填詞修飾動(dòng)詞

took,因此應(yīng)該是副詞。

12.答案：confirming

解析：考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:這是一條自動(dòng)回復(fù),確認(rèn)您的電子郵件己收到。因?yàn)榍懊嬉呀?jīng)

有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,所以此處應(yīng)該用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,confirm與其邏輯主語(yǔ)reply之間為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所

以應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞。

13.答案：peaks

解析：考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。句意：山頂終年積雪。所填詞作主語(yǔ)，根據(jù)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞可知，應(yīng)該用名

詞復(fù)數(shù)。

14.答案：pleasant/pleasing

解析：考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:艾麗斯很高興發(fā)現(xiàn)她脾氣這么好。所填詞作定語(yǔ)，修飾temper,

由此可知應(yīng)填pleasant或pleasing,表示“令人愉快的”。

15.答案：Allinall

解析：

二.答案：(1)-(3)ADD

解析：(1).詞義猜測(cè)題。文章第三段描述的內(nèi)容是:從山頂?shù)缴狡潞蜕焦?都是盛開(kāi)的水仙花,

中間掛著一條紫色的風(fēng)信子瀑布,到處都是令人嘆為觀止的郁金香。由此可知hyacinths應(yīng)

該指的是一種花。故選A項(xiàng)。

(2).細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"Imagine,"Iadded,“ifIhadavisionand

workedatit,justalittlebiteveryday,whatmightIhaveaccomplished?”可知，

作者的感觸是:成功在于點(diǎn)滴的積累。故選D項(xiàng)。

(3).主旨大意題o本文講述了作者通過(guò)自己的一次野外經(jīng)歷從一位女士身上受到啟發(fā)一一成

功在于點(diǎn)滴的積累。故選D項(xiàng)。

三.答案：①一⑤sights;totake;a;was;drilling

⑥一⑩where;eventually;thundered;that;their

解析：①考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。sight在此處意為“風(fēng)景”，常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

②考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。兩個(gè)女孩早早起床的目的是趕火車,應(yīng)用不定式短語(yǔ)作目的狀語(yǔ)。

③考查冠詞。coach是可數(shù)名詞,在文中第一次出現(xiàn),表泛指，因此用不定冠詞a。

④考查時(shí)態(tài)及主謂一致。“oneof+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。結(jié)合文章語(yǔ)境可知,

此處應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填was。

⑤考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。此處表示石油和天然氣鉆探工業(yè),因此應(yīng)該用動(dòng)名詞,說(shuō)明被修飾名詞的

用途,與前面的oilandgas一起作定語(yǔ)，修飾industry?

⑥考查定語(yǔ)從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，設(shè)空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,先行詞是provinces,

從句中缺少地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，因此用where?

⑦考查副詞。設(shè)空處作狀語(yǔ)，修飾其后整個(gè)句子,因此應(yīng)該用副詞。

⑧考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境可知,此處應(yīng)該用一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,故填

thunderedo

⑨考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。"Itwas...that..."是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是notuntil9:30a.m.。

⑩考查代詞。設(shè)空處作定語(yǔ),因此應(yīng)該用形容詞性物主代詞，修飾trip,故填their。

解析：

11.答案：beingkilled

解析：句意為:據(jù)我所知,是酒后駕車引起的事故導(dǎo)致了他的死亡。leadt。意為“導(dǎo)致”，to

為介詞，后接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞等。本題提示詞為動(dòng)詞，故應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞形式；“邏輯主語(yǔ)+

動(dòng)名詞”構(gòu)成動(dòng)名詞復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu),kill與邏輯主語(yǔ)him是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填beingkilledo

二.答案：L答案：1-4.ACDA

解析：1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句Itissaidthatourbodymovementscommunicate

about50%ofwhatwereallymeanwhilewordsthemselvesonlydo7%.可知，肢體語(yǔ)言

項(xiàng)。

2.詞義猜測(cè)題°根據(jù)后面的itshowsthatyouhaveapeacefulpurpose.Itmeans

acceptance,andthatyou'reopentonewideas可知，畫線詞意為“親切的；友好的”，

與friendly同義，故選C項(xiàng)。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中Don'thaveabadhandshake.和Becarefulofthedeadfish

asifyoudon，tunderstandwhat'sgoingon可知B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;C項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)有提及；根據(jù)第四

段中的Don'tavoideyecontact.Eyescanspeak.可知D項(xiàng)正確。故選D項(xiàng)。

4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段尾句Thefollowingaresometipsonwhatyoushouldnotdo

whenusingbodylanguageatyouroffice.可知，文章講的是在辦公室運(yùn)用肢體語(yǔ)言需要

注意的事項(xiàng)。故選A項(xiàng)。

解析：1.possible可能的；wonderful精彩的，極好的；hopeful有希望的；reasonable合

理的.能夠再看見(jiàn)東西自然是非常好的,故選B.

2.question問(wèn)題；mistake錯(cuò)誤；disaster災(zāi)難；situation情形.雙目失明對(duì)人來(lái)說(shuō)是

一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難,故選C.

8.modest謙虛的；energetic精力充沛的；generous慷慨的；positive積極樂(lè)觀的.作者

雖然不完美，但還是一個(gè)實(shí)實(shí)在在的、樂(lè)觀積極的人，故選D.

9.strengthen加強(qiáng)；express表達(dá)；share分享；destroy破壞.我花了好幾年才發(fā)現(xiàn)和加

強(qiáng)了這種自信，故選A.

11.important重要的；specific具體的；common普遍的；impossible不可能的.玩室內(nèi)

棒球是作者以前認(rèn)為不可能的事情,故選D.

12.invent發(fā)明；confirm證實(shí)；check檢查；notice注意到.這里指作者發(fā)明了一種棒球

的變體,叫做地滾球,故答案為A.

的痛苦.此處表示原因，所以用because.

15.fail失敗；try努力，嘗試；act行動(dòng)；continue繼續(xù).作者有時(shí)會(huì)失敗,但平均來(lái)說(shuō)他

還是取得了進(jìn)步，根據(jù)but可知此空與progress相對(duì)，故選fail
