答案简析
1. A。上文讲到电话购物法在欧洲也开始起步，本句承接上文，对欧洲的情况作进一步介绍，因此，应选European。
2. D。电话购物法,应通过看电视选择物品，然后电话订购, 故应选TVs。
3. D。else为副词不用来修饰名词作定语。the other things意为“别的所有商品”不合文意，选项many other things意为“别的许多商品”为正确选项。
4. B。such as中的as为介词，因此该词组用于列举时，后面常直接接名词或名词性短语。而for example用于列举时与后面例子常用逗号隔开。因此B为正确选项。
5. D。分析句子，不难发现本句使用了“spend money in dong something”这一结构，且主语the French为第三人称复数，故应用spend的原形。
6. B。该句子表示“
在德国，每天电话购物法仅在一个频道播放一个小时，这种情况一直持续到去年”，表示某状态一直持续到某个点时间，应用“until + 点时间”。

8. C。很明显，电话购物法为商人销售产品提供了一个极佳的渠道。因此本句表达了商人的愿望。
9. B。without为介词。后面应跟动词的-ing形式。根据文意，going out应为正确选项。

12. C。人们担心的是电视上正在销售的产品的质量。A，B意思不对。for sale表示“待售”，为正确选项。
13. B。电话购物法令人们担心的是电视上展销的商品的质量，而不是商店里的商品，也不是已经买到手的商品。故选on TV。
14. B。根据上文，欧洲人的购物观念与美国人有所不同。因此电话购物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定结构be different form意为“不同于……”为正确答案。

答案简析
1． A。one of 后要用可数名词的复数形式，根据文章意思，可知答案是A。

5． D。根据文章大意，可知答案是D，表示“给人们带来财富和快乐”。
6． C。因为Enid是名字，故用called。

3．D。这里表达的是到达边界之意arrive, come为不及物动词不可直接接 the frontier，故选reached。

答案简析
1．B。这里需要一个表语从句的引导词，并在从句中作say的宾语，代替上文的内容。 what从意思和语法上都合乎文意，为正确选项。

本篇是一个寓言故事，说的是一只牧羊犬，因为天冷，就睡在牧羊人给羊吃的干草上。结果，羊吃不着草，感到非常生气，他们认为狗太自私，自己又不能吃草，还不让能吃草的吃。
答案简析
1. B。从下文可知天是在下雪。
2. A。上文说天在下着大雪，所以地上应该被覆盖着“厚厚的”雪。

4. B。根据常理，羊在那儿也很难找到草。
5. D。天冷，牧羊人就想呆在温暖的房间里。英语里一般不用hot room。
6. C。后面是一个完整的句子，所以不可以用in order to或so as to。so that意为“以便”，后面得跟一个完整的句子。
7. A。全句意为“牧羊人把干草放在围栏里以便羊在饿的时候能吃”。
8. B。躺在软草上，用soft最恰当。
9. C。羊都很害怕狗。“三者以上的都”只有用all。
10. A。没有一只羊能接近它。
11. D。最终也只有最强壮的羊敢上前去。小的、弱的哪有这个胆量？

13. D。羊只好赶紧离开，其他副词都不妥当。
14. A。不敢去吃草，只好私下里很气愤地谈论。
15. D。本句可能有同学会选let，但注意后面有to eat ，没有let sb. to do sth的说法.，但是有allow sb
to do sth.，意为“但还不允许能吃的去吃（草）。

本文主要想告诉读者，学英语是一个长期而艰苦的劳动，没有任何捷径可走。无论你用什么方法学习——用书、机器或在学校，不多实践就无法达到预期的目的。
答案简析
1. B。这里的or是“否则”的意思。
2. C。根据作者的观点，这种事绝对不可能发生。impossible是一个形容词，不符语法，can’t后不可能跟happens，often意思与作者的意图相反。
3. D。唯一容易学的语言是母语。这里需要一个形容词充当后置定语。
4. A。用来修饰不可数名词，只有用how much，全句意为“母语好学，还需要那么多的练习。”何况外语呢？。
5. B。动词不定式充当目的状语。意为“学习外语来研究文学”。
6. C。说某种语言用speak，speak English，speak Chinese。

文章介绍了自己二十多年前，第一次遇到他的老校长的经历。应当说是一个很平凡的经历。但却深深地印在作者的脑海中，也许是因为它太平凡，也许是因为它是作者生活的转折点，也许……其实生活本来就是由无数个平凡所组成的。
答案简析
1. B。根据常识，应该是小孩随家人一起回到London。
2. D。上文提及到因为战争，所以没有足够的学校供孩子们。
3. C。无论是从意思上或语法上看，只有用ask，意为“请求他们把我收下”。let sb. do sth. , make sb. do sth. 没有 hope sb. to do sth.。
4. A。had been too“去过”，had gone to“已经去了”，这是初中部分很重要的两个词组，中国学生特别容易混淆。而这里的意思说“我们去过我家附近的所有的学校。”
5. A。in the end 最终，at first 起初，at once 立刻，by then到那时为止。根据意思当然选A。
6. B。five kilometers away from home 离家5公里处。这里很多学生会选far,事实上我们只能用副词away。

13. B。 A和C绝不能用，因为后面有名词boys， the other表示“其他所有的男孩”，故也不能选。
14. B。意为“还有空位子”。
15. D。among the happiest of my life 意为“是我一生中最快乐的时候的一部分”。其他介词都不对。

这篇文章讲的是关于大家都知道但都不知道该如何处理的一个问题——代沟。代沟时时处处都有，怎样对待它？作者给了我们一点较好的建议，相互理解，换位思考，相信这个世界一定会变得更美丽。
答案简析
1. A。很显然代沟已经是一个很严重的问题。
2. C。从下文可知这是报纸上的一篇报道。
3. D。这篇文章是关于代沟的问题，所以应该是孩子和父母吵架后自杀，而不是和其他人。
1. A。stay， work 不可能与time组成词组，have time不符合上下文的意思。因此用spend，意为把更多的时间花在工作上。
2. D。本句与下文的关系是因果关系。
3. C。本句意为“因此就没有许多时间和小孩呆在一起，这样就会产生代沟”（与文章所谈论的话题相符）。所以不可能选其他选项。
4. D。指父母与小孩双方都有这样的感觉。
5. B。没有共同的话题。其他选项虽无语法错误，但不符合文章的意思。
6. A。the same topics to talk about，这里动词不定式充当定语修，饰前面的名词，同时the same topics又是about的宾语。意为所谈论的话题。
7. B。当然应是多和小孩子一起。
8. C。这几个词组放在这儿都没有语法错误，父母一般说来都要和小孩相处（A）、照顾他们（B）、爱他们（D），但作者的意思是父母要理解小孩。
9. D。把自己的感觉告诉给父母。
10. B。从常识不难推断。意为“他们是爱你们的人”。
11. A。把你们的内心所想告诉他们。say在这里有语法错误，ask与answer意思不对。
12. A。这样你们才会更好地相互理解。这里强调“会，能”，故用can 。

乘飞机时喜爱窗子旁边，但是临窗的座位上有一个警告，上面写着：此座留着是为了保持飞机平衡， 只好作罢。又有几个乘客看到空座走了过去，但看到纸条后都离开了。这时，上来一个年轻漂亮的女士，旁边的年轻人就把纸条拿掉了。阅读时注意体会文章的幽默感。
答案简析
1．A。因为下文叙述的是飞机上发生的事情。by air=by plane。
2．C。喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。
3．B。表示结果，与上句的look for（表动作）相呼应。
4．B。从句子结构看，此空该填非谓语动词形式。seat是及物动词，
意思是“使某人就坐”，它与a young man是动宾关系，所以用seated，表示状态；而sit是不及物动词，它与a young man是主谓关系，要用sitting，表示动作。
5．C。不能选A，因为arrive为不及物动词；由下文可知，他根本没坐下来，所以也不能选B；若选D，则与上句的he went towards it相矛盾。
6．D。in large letters是固定说法，意为“用大写字母”。
7．B。这里该用现在分词表示伴随动作。say强调“说”的内容，而speak则指“说”的动作，故不选D。
8．D。which引导定语从句，指代先行词something particularly heavy。
9．A。another表泛指“另一个”。
10．C。此处不定式to sit用作定语，应与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系，而sit却是不及物动词，必须加上介词on。
11．B。try只表示设法去做某事，而不表示是否做成；manage却表示设法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不选C。
12．B。随着情节的发展，飞机上的人越来越多，快要“满了”，所以用full。
13．B。enter作“进入”讲时，一般不与into连用，故不选C。
14．A。quickly表示“立刻行动，毫不迟延”用于此处符合the man 的心境，也大大地增强了文章的幽默感。
15．C。take ---off---是固定搭配，意为“把……从……取下”。

这篇短文讲述了作者是如何计划一个短暂的假期，去山里天气太冷，而且假期又短，所以她决定去附近的海边度假。
答案简析
1． A。 根据下文的I can work at home all the rest of the time 可判断这里是at home。意思是“我家里有许多事要做”。
2． C。 a good chance to do it 这里的to do it是不定式做后置定语
3． B。 “度假”应用动词spend。
4． C。 go south/north/west/east to somewhere意为朝着（东南西北）方向去某处。
5． B。 everything there was beautiful 说明那儿的一切都很美。
6． D。 too…to…为固定结构，意思是“太……而不……”。
7． A。 因为decide后面的宾语从句不缺任何成分，故用 that 来引导陈述句宾语从句。
8． B。
9． A。 do want 表强调，意思是“我”真的很想去度假。整篇文章时态是以现在时为主，故wanted不可选，其它两个选项无此用法。
10． D。along the seashore意思是“沿着海边”。
11． C。 在阳光下应该用in ，而不是under。
12． A。 in和一段时间连用表示将来，而after只有和点时间连用可表示将来。
13． C。 think over意思是“仔细考虑”。
14． C。 根据后面的than可知这里应用比较级better。
15． B。 根据第一小节作者觉得这个时候去山里不合适，所以这里应选mountains。

本文讲解的是关于世界上最快的客机——协和式飞机（CONDORDE）的发展史。３３年的历史、英法联手打造、耗资十多个亿、两倍于声速……无一不使人们叹为观止。
答案简析
1. C。本句如选invented或 produced，得用被动语态，took off是“起飞”的意思，这里意指“它第一次飞行是在……”因此，用flew最为恰当。
2. A。both…and …是固定短语，为“……两者都”的意思。
3. B。根据文意，“两个国家都有造超声波飞机的梦想”，而不是“谈话”、“会议”、或“战斗”。
4. A。work on sth.意为“致力于……”。
5. D。cost“耗资”。paid，wanted的主语应是人，needed指根据计划需要耗资等的数量，cost本身就表示花费成本的数量。

7. B。固定短语it takes sb. some time to do sth.

9. A。根据上下文之间的联系，意为“你坐协和式飞机从London到New York，有可能已经到了New York，而还没离开London。（这是由于时差）。
10. C。catch the flight 意为“赶上某次航班”。
11. C。下文省略了“than in London”。
12. B。“每架飞机”，只有用each，其他都不对。
13. A。so far “到目前为止”，本句意为“到目前为止，已造出二十架飞机”
14. D。通过上下文可知，这两个机场所拥有的协和式飞机最多。
15. C。本句的主语是they，而each只是同位语，所以不可用has，have一般不用进行时态，所以不可选D。
