A.exposing;challenging B.exposed;challenged
C.exposed:challenging D.exposing;challenged
答案:C 考查非谓语动词。句意:暴露在困难处境中的孩子更容易处理那些富有挑战性的工作。第一空选exposed,因为expose与前面的the
children构成逻辑上的动宾关系,所以选过去分词;第二空challenging意为“挑战性的”。
2.We managed to________two dogs that were fighting.[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]
A.split B.separate

A.free B.vacant
C.handy D.convenient
答案:D 本题主要考查形容词的词义区别。句意:你四点钟开车来把我送到机场,这方便吗?handy意为“(东西)使用方便的或近便/便利的”;vacant意为“真空/空白/虚的”;free的主语多为人,故均不适合此处。

A.is constructing[来源:中国教育出版网zzstep.com]
B.were constructing
C.is being constructed
D.were being constructed
答案:C 考查动词的时态和语态。从整个句子结构来看,“你来我们学校参观”是对现在情况的虚拟,而运动场是正在被建设的,是客观存在的事实,所以用现在进行时的被动语态。
6.I have________our guests to be driven to the church.

10.(2019·桂林、防城港一调)The little boy was so careless with his spelling that he often________letters from words.
A.left off B.left behind
C.left out D.let alone

11.________is no possibility________Bob can win the first prize in the match.
A.There; that B.It; that
C.There; whether D.It; whether
答案:A there is no possibility为固定用法,意义是“……没有可能”;that引导的是同位语从句,用以解释possibility的内容。要注意的是whether通常不与有“不可能”之意的词连用。

答案:A 第一个空可用run for或go on for,其后接时间段,表示“持续多长时间”;第二个空可用divided into或split into,指“被划分为……”。go for“努力获取,拥护”;break into“闯入;侵占”。
15.Born in 1976 in Taiwan, Liu Qian found himself________to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old.
A.attracting B.attracted
C.attract D.to attract
答案:B 考查句式。句意:1976年出生于台湾,在七岁时,刘谦发现自己被一家店铺的一个魔术道具迷住了。himself与attract之间构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以用过去分词。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Some of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach—in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad in the sand.
Now the coast has a strangely pleasant and relaxing attraction. I look forward to a windy clifftop(峭壁顶部)walk or a rainy day rockpicking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But there's nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
These are my favorite secret beaches—ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret even for them.
Sennen Cove is just a mile northeast of Land's End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It's a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles(群岛)of Scilly, 28 miles away.
The westfacing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There's a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of the Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide—and a natural wilderness of unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard
and you come to two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm(棕榈)trees of Tresco's Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It's that kind of place.
文章大意:鲜为人知的地方往往隐藏着美丽的风景,英国大不列颠群岛的边缘地带就隐蔽着几处美不胜收的海滩。
1.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency.
B.The author likes walking on a windy clifftop most.[来源:中国教育出版网zzstep.com]
C.The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches.
D.The author loves the beaches that are not known to most people.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知作者喜欢这几处不被大多数人知道的海滩。
2.Which of the following maps can correctly describe the geography position?
(LE=Land's End SC=Sennen Cove IS=the Isles of Scilly)
答案:D 细节理解题。此题可用排除法。根据第四段的内容可知Sennen Cove位于Land's End的东北,并且Land's End位于英国大陆的最西边,且Sennen Cove离the Isles of Scilly 28英里远,由此可判断D项正确。
3.From the passage we can know that________.
A.Bryher is the smallest island in the world
B.Samson is an island on which no man lives
C.Rushy Bay has views over to the palm trees
D.Green Bay is situated to the south of Rushy Bay
答案:B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“...the deserted island of Samson”可知Samson是一座荒废的岛屿,由此可推断此岛无人居住。
4.The best title for the passage is________.
A.Secret Beaches on the British Isles
B.The Beautiful British Isles
C.The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain
D.My Experience of Searching Beaches
答案:A 主旨大意题。文章从作者童年时代的记忆写起,逐渐引入了英国的一些比较隐秘的海滩,这也是本文的中心话题,所以“英国大不列颠的秘密海滩”最能概括文章大意。
B[来源:中.教.网z.z.s.tep]
Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes, which made the tie
itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe—the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.
“Ties offer a point of indifference,” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare amongst the new bread of entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders,including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people—but not the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was“hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps“tieless Tony”(UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”.
文章大意:带领结在英国曾经是身份和地位的象征,但是近年来带领结的人越来越少,包括像布莱尔这样的政治领袖也不带领结,以彰显贫民色彩。此举可能导致领结在西方世界逐渐消失。
5.In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person's
________.[来源:1]
A. personality B. social position
C. job D. favorite hobby
答案:B 细节理解题。根据文章第一、二段内容可知,带领结在英国曾经是一个人的身份和地位的标志,因此答案选B。
6.In the business world,wearing a tie was necessary because________.
A. it showed you were a brainworker
B. it showed you got a good salary
C. it showed you were an employer
D. it showed you were welltrained
答案:A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可知,带领结可以表明一个人是脑力劳动者。
7.The writer may hold the opinion that________.[来源:中_教_网z_z_s_tep]
A. Blair is the best leader in the world
B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C. millions of people will go to work without a tie
D. people will wear hats instead of ties
答案: C 推理判断题。从文章最后一段内容可知,由于肯尼迪的示范作用,戴帽子的风俗在美国逐渐消失。作者认为,不带领结的汤尼·布莱尔可能会起到同样的作用,即人们可能不带领结去上班,故答案选C。
8.The underlined word “vanished” in the last paragraph may mean________.
A. sold B. washed
C. appeared D. disappeared
答案:D 词义猜测题。划线单词的前一句说,看到世界上最有权力的人不再戴帽子,数百万的其他人也决定不戴帽子。这样,帽子就渐渐在西方世界“消失”了。所以vanished的意义相当于disappeared。
