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”。
7. C。这里open表示“开放，开张，营业”，本句表示电影频道对电话购物实行了开放政策，可用来进行电话购物。
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。
10. B。根据本句开头的But以及下文内容，这里提到的是对电话购物持反对态度的人。故选don’t。
11. A。一些人不喜欢电话购物法，称其为“垃圾”。故应选teleshopping。
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。
15. B。根据上文，消费者关心的是质量。因此电话购物公司必须对质量倍加小心。故选择quality。

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。

篇文章时要注意句子的整体理解，如第8、9、10这三题。

3. C。carry在句中意为“携带、运送”；take 意为“带走”；bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。

13. B。听了主人的话，小男孩“什么也没说”，而是高兴地挑起了担
子。

这篇完型填空讲述了身为边防检查员的彼得明知一个工厂工人在走私货物却无法抓住对方的把柄。在退休的前一天，彼得恳请其说出真相，结果令彼得恍然大悟。
答案简析
1．D。根据下文这个工人越过边界后，走下山坡，所以到达边界之前应在朝山上走。故选up。
2．C。这名工人是在推着一辆装有稻草的自行车，故选动词pushing。
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。
4．C。ask与order后接不定式的复合结构时，动词前应有to, make后接不定式的复合结构时，动词前to要省去。根据下文应选make。
5．A。彼得想发现这个工人在走私什么，所以应仔细地检查。故选carefully。
6．D。这里根据文意，应选择表示“是否”之意的whether作宾语从句的引导词。

8．B．根据文意，彼得心中一直怀着查获走私物品的希望，故选hoping。
9．B。这里things和hide之间是被动关系,现在分词hiding作定语时表示主动，所以应用过去分词hidden作后置定语表被动。
10．D。本句中否定词never及文意决定了这里应选 anything。
11．B。四个选项从语法上讲都可以，只能从文意上进行区分，smuggling意为“走私”，是正确选项。
12．C。固定结构be able to do sth. 意为“能够干某事”。
13．A。习惯用语look through 意为“彻底检查”。
14．D。“as usual”为固定短语，意为“象平常一样”。
15．D。tell, order后面应直接接人作宾语表示告诉某人和命令某人，而用say应为say to sb. 故said为正确选项。
16．C．这里应选择一个介词构成介词短语在句中做状语。介词past 表“经过”； across 强调“从一边到另一边”；而into 表示“进入到……里面”。 根据文意across应为正确选项。
17．C。“on the job”为一常用短语。意为“执行公务”。
18．C。因为今天是彼得最后一天上班说明明天他就要退休retire。
19．B。根据句中否定词not 及文意应选anyone。
20．D。本句说明这个工人回答彼得的问题之前沉默了一会儿。A选项应用a moment； C选项表示某一点时间； D选项表示一段时间或一会儿，为正确选项。

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”。
1. C。说某种语言用speak，speak English，speak Chinese。
2. D。用it代指上文所说的a foreign language。
3. B。这里的with是“用”的意思。
4. A。作者在这里提出一种假设。如果他们一星期只有一两次使用外语。
5. C。固定短语，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”。
6. B。后面省略了than 6 hours。意为6个小时或更多的时间。
7. D。it 代指上文所指的foreign language，故用被动被态。
8. C。许多人不可能做到这一点。这里不可以用not possible，因为它的主语不可以用人。
9. D。机器和书对于学习英语来说是很有帮助的。
15. B。whether …or…固定短语。

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。
7. C。从at least可知不选A或B，但根据上下文可知也不可能选D，C 最恰如其分
8. D。这里强调“让我们走进他的办公室”。
9. C。根据常识可知。
10. B。由此可见作者知道校长大多要问这样的问题，也想出了一些回答方法。think of “想出”。
11. A。从上下文的意思看是转折关系。
12. A。此处只有用anyone，意为“谁也不认识”。
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。
4. 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。
5. D。本句与下文的关系是因果关系。
6. 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。
7. D。指父母与小孩双方都有这样的感觉。
8. 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。
9. 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。
10. B。当然应是多和小孩子一起。
11. 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。
12. D。把自己的感觉告诉给父母。
13. B。从常识不难推断。意为“他们是爱你们的人”。
14. 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。
15. 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。

名师点评
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。
6. B。voice意为“嗓音”；noise意为“噪音”；shout意为“大叫声”；speed of sound意为“声速”。
7. B。固定短语it takes sb. some time to do sth.
8. D。because 后面是一个名词性词组，所以用because of 意为“由于……的原因”。本句意为“由于英、美之间的五个小时的时间差”。
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。
1. 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”
2. D。通过上下文可知，这两个机场所拥有的协和式飞机最多。
3. 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。

店主看到来住店的客人的包，认为里面有许多钱，于是便想占为己有，他们夫妻二人想出一个办法，把健忘草拌在客人的饭里想让其第二天起来时忘记去寻找自己的包，可是客人却在第二天一早就离开了，连住宿费都忘了付。店主夫妻害人不成反害了自己。弄清故事的情节发展是做好本题的关键。
