Give me a chance, I ll give you a wonderful surprise.A. ifB. orC. andD. while解析：本題考察的是“祈使句+連詞+陳述句”的特殊句式。該句型相當(dāng)于：If 條件句，+主句；本句相當(dāng)于：If you give me a chance, I ll give you a wonderful surprise.在變成條件句時(shí)，如果是一個(gè)肯定句，就使用連詞and;如

2、果成為一個(gè)否定句，就使用or； 如： Hurry up, or we will be late. 相當(dāng)于：If you don ' t hurry up, you willbe late.句義：給我一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，我就會(huì)給你一個(gè)驚喜。故 C正確。答案： C2. - Ok, I ll fix your computer right now.-Oh, take your time. .A. I can t stand itB. I m in no hurryC. That s a great ideaD. It s not my cup of tea解析：本句考察的是交際用語(yǔ)。A我無(wú)法忍受了；B

3、我不著急；C好主意；D非我所愛(ài)；句義：我現(xiàn)在就幫你修理你的電腦。哦，慢慢來(lái)，我不著急。本題的關(guān)鍵詞是 take your time=don ' t h urry。所以 B項(xiàng)與之相符。答案： B3.

4、of power指電力來(lái)源。故 A正確。答案：A4. you start eating in a healthier way, weight control will become mucheasier.A. unlessB. AlthoughC. BeforeD. Once解析：unless除非一；如果一不一；although盡管；before在一之前；once一旦，曾經(jīng)；句義：一旦你開(kāi)始以一種健康的方式吃飯，控制體重就會(huì)變得更加容易。根據(jù)句義可知once表示“一旦”，引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。故 D正確。答案： D5. Anxiously, she took the dress out of th

5、e package and tried it on, onlyit didn t fitA. to findB. foundC. findingD. having found解析：本題考察的是不定式做結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)用法，在非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞中，不定式常常和only 連用，表示意料之外的結(jié)果?，F(xiàn)在分詞doing 常常表示意料之中的結(jié)果。句義：很著急，她把裙子從包裝里拿了出來(lái)，結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)裙子不合適。她很著急地試穿裙子，但是裙子不合適。說(shuō)明這是意料之外的結(jié)果，所以使用 A項(xiàng)。答案： A6. the school, the village has a clinic, which was also built wit

6、hgovernment support.A. In reply to B. In addition toC. In charge ofD.

7、dentswho wish to seek their own answers.A. writing B. to writeC. writtenD. being written解析： 本句考察的是非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞做狀語(yǔ)的用法。句中動(dòng)詞write 與句子逐漸與the book構(gòu)成邏輯上的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以使用過(guò)去分詞表示被動(dòng)。排除 AB項(xiàng)，因?yàn)锳B項(xiàng)都表示主 動(dòng)，D項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在分詞的被動(dòng)形式，表示動(dòng)作正在被做。而本句的過(guò)去分詞written 表示被動(dòng)和已經(jīng)完成。句義：被寫得很清楚很周到，這本書(shū)激勵(lì)著那些追求自己生活中的答案的學(xué)生。故C正確。答案： C8.

8、rong-willed can reach the other shore.A. an; theB. the; aC. the ;/D. / ; a解析： 本題第一空使用不定冠詞an 修飾 ocean 泛指一個(gè)海洋。第二空后的strong-will是一個(gè)形容詞，在形容詞前面加上定冠詞the 表示“一類人”或者“一類事物”。 Thestrong-willed 指意志堅(jiān)定的人。句義：生活就像是一個(gè)海洋，只有意志堅(jiān)定的人才可 以到達(dá)彼岸。故A正確。答案： A9.

We won t start the work until all the preparations .A. are being madeB. will be madeC. have been madeD. had been made解析：通常說(shuō)來(lái)。在時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來(lái)時(shí)，前面的主句中使用將來(lái)時(shí)。 在高中英語(yǔ)中也

11、使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)代替將來(lái)時(shí)，表示到將來(lái)某個(gè)時(shí)間已經(jīng)完成的事情。句義：直到所有的準(zhǔn)備工作都做好以后，我們才開(kāi)始工作。故 C正確。答案： C12. English is a language shared by several diverse cultures, uses itdifferently.A. all of whichB. each of whichC. all of themD. each of them解析：本題是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是several diverse cultures ，在定語(yǔ)從句里使用which指代先行詞作為介詞 of的賓語(yǔ)。排除CD項(xiàng)，這兩項(xiàng)并不是定語(yǔ)從句。 A項(xiàng)

12、在定 語(yǔ)從句中做主語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要使用復(fù)數(shù)形式，本題定語(yǔ)從句中的uses說(shuō)明A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。B 項(xiàng)中的 each 做主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞使用單數(shù)形式。句義：英語(yǔ)是一個(gè)被很多不同的文化共同使用的語(yǔ)言，每一種語(yǔ)言使用英語(yǔ)的方法都是不一樣的。故B 正確。答案： B13. The two countries are going to meet to somebarriers to trade betweenthem.A. make upB. use upC. turn down解析：動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)make up 化妝，編造，彌補(bǔ)，組成；use up 用完，耗盡；turn down 拒絕，調(diào)低；break dow

13、n 機(jī)器出故障；身體垮掉；分解；劃分（以便分析）；句義：這兩個(gè)國(guó)家將要會(huì)談來(lái)分解他們之間的貿(mào)易障礙。根據(jù)句義說(shuō)明D項(xiàng)正確。答案： D14. I think impresses me about his painting is the colours he uses.A. whatB. thatC. whichD. who解析：本題中的I think 是一個(gè)插入語(yǔ)，可以省略。實(shí)際上本句中的what impresses me是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句，what 既是這個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞，也在句中做主語(yǔ)。句義：關(guān)于他的畫(huà)我認(rèn)為給我留下深刻印象的是他所使用的顏色。that 在名詞性出中不充當(dāng)成分，which指特定

14、范圍之內(nèi)的“哪一個(gè)"；who通常都是指人。故 A正確。答案： A15. the morning train, he would not have been late for the meeting.A. Did he catchB. should be catchC. has he caughtD. Had he caught解析：本題實(shí)際上是一個(gè)條件狀語(yǔ)從句的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反。條件句中使用“過(guò)去完成式”，主句使用“情態(tài)動(dòng)詞 +have done" ；當(dāng)條件句中的if省略的時(shí)候，要把had 提前形成部分倒裝。句義：如果他趕上了早班火車，他就不會(huì)開(kāi)會(huì)遲到了。故D
