六、作文(1題)66.S城的交通擁擠現(xiàn)象日趨嚴(yán)重，事故時(shí)有發(fā)生，特別是在早晚上、下班高峰期。市政府決定采取措施改善交通現(xiàn)狀，向廣大市民征集建議。請(qǐng)根據(jù)下面的要點(diǎn)向市政府提出建議。(1)修繕公路，改善路面狀況;(2)修筑立交橋，緩解交通阻塞現(xiàn)象;(3)控制小轎車(chē)的產(chǎn)量。要求：短文需要涉及上述所有內(nèi)容，可以適當(dāng)增加內(nèi)容，闡述自己的其他想法。

參考答案

1.B考查反義疑問(wèn)句。原句應(yīng)是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反義疑問(wèn)句的規(guī)則是陳述部分是肯定式，疑問(wèn)部分應(yīng)是否定式。Wouldthink表示推測(cè)，疑問(wèn)部分也應(yīng)選擇would。選項(xiàng)B是正確的?！揪渥哟笠狻磕汶y道還認(rèn)為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

2.D

3.B

4.C解析：本題考查倒裝虛擬語(yǔ)氣用法。本句是表示與將來(lái)事實(shí)相反，所以從句用wereto形式。句意為：如果他今天出發(fā)的話(huà)，他就會(huì)在星期五以前到達(dá)那里。

5.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。給她臉上澆些水，或許她會(huì)醒過(guò)來(lái)。本題考查詞組辨析。comeround：過(guò)訪，繞道而來(lái)，蘇醒過(guò)來(lái)；comeback：回來(lái)，恢復(fù)；comeagain：再說(shuō)一遍，重復(fù)一遍；comeout：出來(lái)，傳出。

6.B

7.D

8.B解析：encourage：鼓勵(lì)、鼓舞；discourage：使泄氣；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根據(jù)句意只有選B。

9.B

10.A解析：本題考虛擬語(yǔ)氣在名詞性從句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the廣引導(dǎo)的從句中，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用“should+認(rèn)”，should可以省去，再結(jié)合語(yǔ)態(tài)，故A項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他們要求所有的必要文件都必須在月底之前交到校長(zhǎng)辦公室。

11.A

12.D解析：本題考查動(dòng)詞搭配。doone'shomework“做作業(yè)”；makemistakes“犯錯(cuò)誤”。句意為：做作業(yè)，還要保證別犯錯(cuò)誤。

13.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級(jí)better。

14.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，指代前邊一句話(huà)。本題涉及句法知識(shí)——簡(jiǎn)單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡(jiǎn)單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復(fù)合句)

15.B解析：此處是對(duì)將來(lái)情況的假設(shè)。虛擬條件句的謂語(yǔ)部分為should，had或were時(shí)，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語(yǔ)之前，構(gòu)成主謂部分倒裝。

16.A本句考查兩個(gè)并列句之間的連接的詞。題干的意思是：“氣球能夠浮在空氣中正如船能夠浮在海面上一樣。”在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，只有A項(xiàng)的justas有“正如，猶如”的意思。故選A。

17.D

18.D解析：本題測(cè)試形容詞辨析。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)描述，而我卻認(rèn)為它是這個(gè)計(jì)劃中最重要的部分。

19.B

20.D

21.什么可以解決這一問(wèn)題?事實(shí)是污染是由人類(lèi)自身引起的——人類(lèi)的貪婪和現(xiàn)代生活方式。什么可以解決這一問(wèn)題?事實(shí)是污染是由人類(lèi)自身引起的——人類(lèi)的貪婪和現(xiàn)代生活方式。

25.作為理財(cái)顧問(wèn)，我看到很多人學(xué)會(huì)了掌控自己的錢(qián)財(cái)，而不是讓錢(qián)財(cái)控制自己；看到他們通過(guò)合理的理財(cái)，拓寬了自由度，提高了控制力，增強(qiáng)了安全感。
