選擇題部分

1.語(yǔ)法與詞匯知識(shí)選擇題

1.Isthereanypossiblewaytohelpthemgetridofsuch

abadhabit?

--Totellthetruth,it'sveryhard.Butweonthis

problemtryingtoimprovethesituation.

A.workedB.hadworkedC.areworkingD.had

beenworking

【答案】C

【解析】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。語(yǔ)境意義：“這個(gè)問(wèn)題還沒(méi)解決，我們正在

努力解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題〃，因此用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)。對(duì)動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的考查歷來(lái)是

高考試卷的重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。

2.Thecomputerlooksold,butitjusthalfayear

ago.

A.hasbeenboughtB.willbeboughtC.isbought

D.wasbought

【答案】D

【解析】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。此題容易錯(cuò)選A項(xiàng)。語(yǔ)境有具體過(guò)去時(shí)間

“halfayearago”,因此buy表示過(guò)去的動(dòng)作，用一般過(guò)去時(shí)被

動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

3.“Iintheroom,watchingTVbroadcastaboutthe

earthquake."Itoldthepolicemanwhohaddrivenhereto

questionme.

A.wasstayingB.stayC.stayedD.am

staying

【答案】A

【解析】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。語(yǔ)境沒(méi)有提到具體時(shí)間，但從語(yǔ)境和和試題

命制形式上看是直接引語(yǔ)，這里表示答復(fù)警察的訊問(wèn)，那么一定是問(wèn)

在過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)候“我〃在做什么，因此用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。

4.inchargeoftheshoppingcenterhasupsethimfor

quitesometime.

A.LeftB.BeingleftC.HavingleftD.To

leave

【答案】B

【解析】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用法。本空在句中做主語(yǔ)，表示被動(dòng)含義，

因此選B。

5.OnMarch14,violentcrimesofbeating,lootingandburning

inLhasaofTibetbrokeout,13innocentpeopleandwith

morethan300.

A.killed;injuredB.killing;injuredC.

killed;injuringD.killing;injuring

【答案】B

【解析】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用法。第一空用kill的現(xiàn)在分詞做狀語(yǔ)表

示主動(dòng)含義和補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明，第二空用過(guò)去分詞表示“受傷〃。

6.Doyouknowthatthefirsttextbookswrittenforteaching

Englishasaforeignlanguageinthe16thcentury?

A.cameupB.camealongC.cameoutD.

cameabout

【答案】C

【解析】考查常見(jiàn)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)用法。語(yǔ)境表示第一本教授英語(yǔ)作為外語(yǔ)

的課本“出版，出現(xiàn)〃，用comeout表示“被出版，被刊行〃。其

他短語(yǔ)的含義：Vi.A發(fā)生，被提出，B進(jìn)展，出現(xiàn)，D發(fā)生。

7.Writedownthekeywordsthatyouyourstudentstofind

inthepassage.

A.makeB.expectC.suggestD.hope

【答案】B

【解析】考查常見(jiàn)動(dòng)詞辨析。從搭配看，只有expect能接帶to的不

定式做賓補(bǔ)；從含義看，語(yǔ)境表示預(yù)料學(xué)生可能會(huì)問(wèn)的問(wèn)題，因此選

Bo

8.Togoodrelationshipswithyourteachersand

classmates,youshouldlearntobeongoodtermswiththem.

A.bringupB.addupC.keepupD.take

up

【答案】C

【解析】考查常見(jiàn)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。語(yǔ)境表示“保持/維持〃好的人際關(guān)系,

因此選c。

9.We'dbettersetoff,oritwillbedarkweknowit.

A.beforeB.afterC.when

D.until

【答案】A

【解析】考查狀語(yǔ)從句的連詞。語(yǔ)境表示“還不等我們意識(shí)到〃，用

before引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句表示“在……之前〃。

10.~■Isn'titasurprisethatIhappenedtomeetFrancis

一Ifmymemoryservesmecorrectly,youeachotherfor

exactlytwoyears.

A.hadn'tseenB.haven'tseenC.didn'tsee

D.don'tsee

【答案】A

【解析】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。語(yǔ)境表示在上周見(jiàn)面之前有兩年沒(méi)見(jiàn)面，因

此用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。

11.thecityliesthefamousbeautifulmountain.

A.40milessoutheastofB.To40milessoutheast

of

C.Southeast40milestoD.Tosoutheast40miles

of

【答案】A

【解析】考查副詞用法。語(yǔ)境表示方位，“城市東南方向四十公里的

地方〃，用（t。the）+方位詞，數(shù)量概念放在介詞短語(yǔ)或副詞短語(yǔ)的

前面。因此A為唯一正確表達(dá)。

12.一Whatdoyouthinkoftheblindman?

一I'veneverseenamanwithsenseoftouch.

A.thebetterB.abetterC.agoodD.the

best

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容詞比擬級(jí)的用法。止匕題用“否認(rèn)詞+比擬級(jí)〃結(jié)構(gòu)

表示“沒(méi)有比……更……的〃，比擬結(jié)構(gòu)后有名詞時(shí)，用不定冠詞修

飾，表示沒(méi)有具體限定的“更……的〃。

13.Theresultwasfarbeyondwehadexpected,brought

greatjoytoeveryoneofus.

A.that;whichB.than;thatC.what;what

D.what;which

【答案】D

【解析】考查賓語(yǔ)從句和定語(yǔ)從句。第一空用what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，

連詞what在從句中做賓語(yǔ)，第二空用which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，

關(guān)系代詞which指代主句內(nèi)容。

14.Everyonehasperiodsintheirliveseverything

seemsveryhard.

A.whenB.whereC.which

D.that

【答案】A

【解析】考查定語(yǔ)從句。此題的關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句修飾periods,

并在從句中做時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，因此選A。

15.Whatimpressesmemostisheappearsinfrontof

others,hewearsasincereandcharmingsmile.

A.whichB.thatC.whereC.that

whenever

【答案】D

【解析】考查表語(yǔ)從句和狀語(yǔ)從句。從語(yǔ)境看，此題需要兩個(gè)連接詞，

一個(gè)是表語(yǔ)從句的連詞that,此時(shí)that只起連接作用，不在從句中

做任何成分，而且一般不省略；表語(yǔ)從句中還有一個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句，表示

“無(wú)論他在什么時(shí)候出現(xiàn)〃，用附屬連詞whenever。

16.Classregulationsrequireisthelasttoleavethe

classroomoffallthelights.

A.who;shouldturnB.whom;shallturn

C.whomever;turnsD.whoever;turn

【答案】D

【解析】考查名詞從句的連詞和虛擬語(yǔ)氣用法。主語(yǔ)從句中缺少主語(yǔ),

故用whoever=thepersonwho,require后接賓語(yǔ)從句，句中動(dòng)詞用

(should)doo

17.一WhereisBob?Icannotfindhimanywhere.

——Hehavebeenofflong.Iheardhimmakeacalljust

now.

A.shouldn'tB.can'tC.mustn'tD.

needn't

【答案】B

【解析】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞與虛擬語(yǔ)氣用法。語(yǔ)境表示語(yǔ)氣很肯定的否認(rèn)

判斷推測(cè)：我剛剛還聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他打電話了，因此他一定沒(méi)走多遠(yuǎn)。用can，

thavedone0

18.Ifthepredictionfortheearthquakemoreaccurate,

wewouldhavebeenmorepreparedandmanymoreliveswouldhave

beensaved.

A.hadbeenB.wasC.hasbeen

D.were

【答案】A

【解析】考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。語(yǔ)境表示假設(shè)地震的預(yù)測(cè)更準(zhǔn)確，我們就能

做好準(zhǔn)備，很多生命就不會(huì)失去了，主句使用了wouldhavedone,

因此表示與過(guò)去實(shí)際情況相反的假設(shè)，狀語(yǔ)從句用過(guò)去完成時(shí)，因此

選Ao

19.一Whohasmadeamessinmyroom?

一Whoelseitbutyournaughtyson?

A.coulddoB.couldhavedoneC.didD.

hasdone

【答案】B

【解析】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞用法。語(yǔ)境表示對(duì)過(guò)去發(fā)生并延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的情

況的推測(cè)，用couldhavedone表示不肯定的語(yǔ)氣。

20.Iwastoldthat10:15flightwouldtakeustoShanghai

intimetoreachFudanUniversity.

A.the;/B.the;aC.a;the

D./;the

【答案】A

【解析】考查冠詞的用法。第一空，用the表示定指，“十點(diǎn)一刻的

航班〃，第二空是專有名詞，不加冠詞。

21.Hetalkedagainandagaintohisfriendaboutcareful

driving,butjustturnedadeafeartohiswords.

A.anotherB.otherC.othersD.

theother

【答案】D

【解析】考查代詞用法。語(yǔ)境涉及兩人，他和他的朋友，因此這里用

theother表示“另外那個(gè)人〃，即他的朋友。表示兩者中的另外一

個(gè)用theother。表示沒(méi)有具體所指的“另外一個(gè)"用another,other

是形容詞，不能單獨(dú)使用；others表示沒(méi)有具體范圍限制的“其他

的〃，是復(fù)數(shù)指代。

22.Itisagreatforapersontobeabletodrivewhen

heisseekingajob.

A.advantageB.chanceC.funD.

importance

【答案】A

【解析】考查名詞辨析。語(yǔ)境表示找工作時(shí)，如果會(huì)開(kāi)車(chē)將是一個(gè)優(yōu)

勢(shì)，因此選A。

23.theweather,thesportsmeetwillbeheldontime.

A.InfavorofB.RegardlessofC.Apart

fromD.Dueto

【答案】B

【解析】考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析。語(yǔ)境說(shuō)運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)按期舉行，因此這里表示

“不顧〃天氣情況，用B表示“不管，不顧〃。其他選項(xiàng)的含義：A

贊成，C除了……之外，D由于。

24.一IjustwonderthatmadeMarkTwainsofamousa

writer.

一Ofcoursehisearlyexperiences.

A.itwaswhatB.whathedidC.howhe

didD.whatitwas

【答案】D

【解析】考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句和語(yǔ)序。從題干的含義看，此題涉

及強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句和語(yǔ)序。被強(qiáng)調(diào)的成分在原句做主語(yǔ)，表示物,

用what,疑問(wèn)句在此題做賓語(yǔ)，用陳述句的語(yǔ)序，因此選D。

25.Neverinmywildestdreamsthesepeopleareliving

insuchpoorcondition.

A.IcouldimagineB.couldIimagine

C.Icouldn'timagineD.couldn'tIimagine

【答案】B

【解析】考查倒裝句結(jié)構(gòu)。否認(rèn)副詞never放在句首，主句要用局部

倒裝，再者，表示否認(rèn)含義時(shí)，前面已經(jīng)有了否認(rèn)詞，句中就用肯定

形式，因此此題選B。

26.Youshouldn'thavetakenpicturesbeforethecarved

stones.

A.PardonmeB.Yes,IwillC.NevermindD.

Don'tmentionit

【答案】A

【解析】考查交際用語(yǔ)用法。語(yǔ)境表示責(zé)怪及答復(fù)。從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)看，

這里應(yīng)該表示抱歉，選A,表示沒(méi)聽(tīng)清楚對(duì)方的話。

27.一Ifoundmymomnotfeelingwellthismorning.I'mafraid

sheisill.

A.Don'tworrytoomuchB.It'snothingatall

C.I'msorrytohearthatD.Takeiteasy

【答案】C

【解析】考查交際用語(yǔ)。此題的交際語(yǔ)境是如何表示撫慰。對(duì)方說(shuō)他

母親生病了，此時(shí)應(yīng)該表示撫慰，幫對(duì)方分擔(dān)憂慮，選C,而不是A、

D項(xiàng)空泛地讓對(duì)方別著急，也不是B,沒(méi)事。

28.一Goodmorning,DoctorBrown'soffice.

一Hello,thisisTomSmith.CouldyoupleasetellDoctorBrown

I?Mycarstart.

A.wasdelayed,doesn'tB.willbedelayed,won't

C.amdelayed,didn'tD.woulddelay,mustn't

【答案】B

【解析】考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和情態(tài)動(dòng)詞用法。從語(yǔ)境看，第一空用一般

將來(lái)時(shí)表示對(duì)將來(lái)情況的預(yù)測(cè)，第二空用won't/wouldn't表示無(wú)

可奈何的感覺(jué)，“偏不，就是不〃。

29.WhenIsawmumnodtome,Icalmeddownandwent

onwithmyacting.

A.encouraginglyB.amazinglyC.

increasinglyD.accordingly

【答案】A

【解析】考查副詞辨析。詞類的考查異軍突起，在高考試卷中所占比

例越來(lái)越大?？疾榈闹攸c(diǎn)更多是從語(yǔ)境和詞匯的含義去把握和選

擇，很少考查同義詞或近義詞的辨析。語(yǔ)境說(shuō)媽媽對(duì)我點(diǎn)頭，我冷靜

下來(lái)，從這些信息看，此題選A,媽媽用手勢(shì)語(yǔ)鼓勵(lì)我。

30.Inthetimeofsocialreform,people?sstateofmindtends

tokeepwiththerapidchangeofsociety.

A.contactB.progressC.touchD.pace

【答案】D

【解析】考查名詞辨析。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的含義：A接觸，B進(jìn)步，C碰，

觸摸，D節(jié)奏。從動(dòng)詞與介詞搭配看，這里用keepincontactwith

或keeppacewith表示“與...并駕齊驅(qū)"。
