15.Nowhere (can) Ifindapersontohelpmeatthattime.
[答案与解析]
1.other。句意:他很聪明,但另一方面,他经常因粗心而犯愚蠢的错误。ontheotherhand“另一方面”。
16
2.a。asaconsequenceof因为,由于。
3.permission。由without可知,此处应填名词,表示“来自地方议会的允许”。
4.original。句意:你能注意到克隆羊和原来的羊有什么不同么?修饰one用形容词,故填original。
5.concerning。concerningprep.关于;涉及。
6.burnt/burned。句意:十小时的艰苦工作后,我们所有人都累垮了,都想休息一下。feel/be/getburnt/burnedout为固定短语,意为“耗尽体力,累垮”,故填burnt/burned。
7.tasty。考查形容词。句意:油炸食品可能很好吃,但它可能对我们的健康有害。根据上文be可知填形容词tasty。
8.actually。考查副词。句意:他夸夸其谈,但实际上什么也不做。do为动词需要副词修饰,故填actually。
9.toleave。thelasttodosth.最后一个做某事的人。
10.into。takesth.intoconsideration考虑到;顾及。
11.confirmed。confirm与wildpigeon之间为被动关系。此处表示“美国最后一只被确认的野鸽”。
12.hadhad。句意:如果我(当时)有机会,我肯定会在昨天的会上告诉经理你的需求。根据句意可知,此处描述的是和过去事实相反的情况,所以虚拟条件句的谓语动词应用haddone。
13.intention。withtheintentionof抱有……目的;打算。
14.adopting。considerdoingsth.考虑做某事。
15.could。句意:当时我找不到一个可以帮助我的人。否定副词nowhere置于句首,后面用部分倒装结构。且根据该句的时间状语“当时”可知,该句叙述的是发生在过去的事情。因此应用过去时态。
二、阅读理解

[答案与解析]
16.B。根据第一段中“DonnaAshlock...wasverysick.Shehadabadheart.”“shemusthaveanewheart,orshewilldiesoon.”和第二段中“FelipeCarza,15,wasworriedaboutDonna.FelipewasDonna'sfriend.”可知,Felipe担心Donna是因为Donna病得厉害。故选B项。

[语篇导读]
本文属于新闻,欧洲议会通过了针对转基因食品的新规则。这一做法在欧洲引起了轩然大波。
[答案与解析]
19.B。推理判断题。纵观全文,欧洲议会通过了针对转基因食品的新规则。这一做法在欧洲引起了轩然大波,作者对转基因食品进行了客观地描述。故选B项。
20.C。推理判断题。根据第四段Geneticengineeringisthetechnologyofchangingthegenesoflivingthings.Thechangedgenedirectstheplanttodothingsitnormallycan'tdo.可知,基因工程是改变生物基因的一门科
16
学,改变之后的基因能够让作物起着本身没有的作用,后面的例子向读者解释了基因工程是如何运用于作物生产的。故选C。
21.C。推理判断题。根据倒数第四段OfficialsinseveralEuropeanUnionmembercountriesquestionthesafetyofbiotechnologyproducts.以及最后一段Onegroup,FriendsoftheEarth,saysthemeasuresapprovedbytheEuropeanParliamentwillnothelpthepublic,farmersortheenvironment.可知,很多欧洲人对转基因食品仍持排斥态度,所以要他们接受还需要很长一段时间。B项中的savetheneedtodosth.意为“省去做某事的必要”,和原文中的reduce(减少)不是一个概念。故选C。
22.A。主旨大意题。本文属于新闻报道,文章第一段指出写作目的是让读者知道欧洲议会批准了对转基因食品的新规定。故选A。

[语篇导读]
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如何搞好亲子关系,让家庭和睦。
[答案与解析]
23.F。根据上一句话Nowadaysparentsandtheirchildrenarespendinglesstimecommunicatingwitheachother.可知,现在孩子和父母在一起的时间越来越少,当然得到的爱也会随之减少,故选F项。
24.G。根据小标题Eattogetherandlistentoeachother.以及空前内容Sharingamealtogetherallowsparentsandtheirchildrentheopportunitytotalkabouteachother'slives.可知,父母和孩子一起吃饭可以增加交流的机会,其实这也是父母倾听孩子心声并给予孩子建议的时刻,故选G项。
25.D。根据小标题Readoften.可知,本段主要讲要多给孩子读书,D项“找些你的孩子喜欢读的书”符合语境。故选D。
26.A。本空应是小标题。结合本段的内容Chooseanactivitythatyourchildrenareinterestedin.可知,本段主要讲培养孩子的爱好或开始一项新的活动,所以A项符合语境。
27.C。根据小标题以及空后内容Jumpintothefamilycarandgoforadrive.Prepareapicniclunchorvisitalocalpark.Alsoavisittothezooormuseumwillsparkachild'senthusiasmandleadtoalongdiscussion.可知,本段主要讲一家人可以出游。既然要出游那么一定要去室外,所以C项符合语境。

[语篇导读]
本文主要讲述了一个科学家克隆狗的故事。
[答案与解析]
48.a。考查冠词。clone为可数名词单数,其发音以辅音音素开头且在文章中首次出现,故填不定冠词a。makeacloneof...“克隆某物”。
49.which/that。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,先行词是mixture,空处引导定语从句,且在从句中作主语,故填which/that。
50.tostop。考查动词不定式。besuretodosth.“肯定会做某事”,故填tostop。
51.mistakes。考查名词复数。mistake为可数名词。makeamistake/mistakes“犯错误”,为固定短语,故填mistakes。
52.dead。考查形容词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,空处填形容词dead做定语,修饰名词mouse。
53.waiting。考查非谓语动词。句意:他不耐烦地注视着混合物,等待着马上出现的动物形状。He与wait之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用动词ing形式短语做伴随状语,故填waiting。
54.immediately。考查副词。空处修饰动词appear,所以填副词immediately。
55.from。考查介词。fleefrom...“从……逃走”,是固定搭配,故填from。
56.disappeared。考查时态。句意:因为任何可能晋升的机会都在那一瞬间消失了。根据语境可知,此处对过去发生的事情进行陈述,应用一般过去时,故填disappeared。
57.wasproduced。考查时态和语态。根据语境可知此处应用一般过去时,
16
又因monster与produce之间为被动关系,故填wasproduced。
六、书面表达
前不久,你班就是否应该克隆人类的问题进行了辩论,请根据下列要点写一篇80词左右的英语短文。
赞成
证明科学技术的突破;
帮助一些人实现特殊的愿望。
反对
人类生命将像商品一样进行销售;
是对生命的不尊重;
违背自然规律和伦理道德。
