：1.人們認(rèn)為淡水是取之不盡的

;2.實(shí)際上淡水是短缺的;3.我們應(yīng)當(dāng)怎么辦。

參考答案

1.C解析：本題考查詞義的辨別。rise出現(xiàn)，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

2.D

3.D

4.B

5.A解析：while意為“雖然”；as意為“因?yàn)椤?；if意為“如果”；since意為“因?yàn)椤薄８鶕?jù)題意選A。

6.B解析：本題考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困難”。句意為：有時(shí)孩子們?cè)诜智骞适潞同F(xiàn)實(shí)方面會(huì)有困難，相信故事中的事確實(shí)存在。

7.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?

8.C

9.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，指代前邊一句話。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)

10.C

11.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。

12.D解析：從句中的問(wèn)句主謂不倒裝。從句的時(shí)態(tài)隨主句。我想知道那輛車(chē)的價(jià)格。

13.A解析：反問(wèn)疑問(wèn)句的陳述部分是肯定式時(shí)，疑問(wèn)部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反問(wèn)疑問(wèn)句，疑問(wèn)部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

14.B

15.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。

16.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應(yīng)選A。

17.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。

18.D

19.B

20.B

21.C解析：句子的前半部分是主語(yǔ)從句，主語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)句意而定。

22.B解析：cuts“裁減”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱點(diǎn)”；imports“進(jìn)口”，故正確選項(xiàng)為B。

23.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。

24.C解析：副詞so置于句首，句子應(yīng)該用倒裝語(yǔ)序，某人受傷用sb.beinjured來(lái)表示，故答案為C。

25.A

26.C所有的學(xué)生都去看了昨天的魔術(shù)表演。它太令人不可思議了。這里主要考查的是動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么樣。Sb．bedone表示某人處于某種狀態(tài)。例：Theletteristouching．這封信令人感動(dòng)。

Iammoved．我很感動(dòng)。

27.A解析：此題考查反意疑問(wèn)句的用法。主句為祈使句，因此其反意疑問(wèn)句用willyou。

28.Dapplyto應(yīng)用；applyfor申請(qǐng)

29.D解析：上句責(zé)備瑪麗應(yīng)該做作業(yè)而不是坐到那兒看電視，下句是瑪麗對(duì)媽媽責(zé)備的一種辯解：“你說(shuō)過(guò)電視是有教育意義的?！彼訢項(xiàng)正確。
