(2010·辽宁，27)Anowhere near enough Bnear enough nowhereCenough near nowhere Dnear nowhere enough答案A解析句意为：我们只有一百美元，远远不够买一台新电脑。nowhere near enough意为“远远不够”，是固定用法，且enough修饰形容词或副词时应后置，故选A。 2A housing bubble is an economic situation_occurs when house prices rise much too fast.Awhich BwhereCwhat Dwhy答案A解析考查关系代词引导的定语从句。指物的先行词situation在从句中作谓语动词occur的主语，所以用关系代词which。句意为：房地产泡沫是房屋价格增长过快的时候出现的一种经济形势。不注意分析从句的结构，就会受思维定势的干扰而误选B。 3In early autumn Steve applied for admission to college.He wanted to go_but to Cornell University.Oh，why not Harvard?Aanywhere Bsomewhere Ceverywhere Dnowhere答案D解析考查副词辨析。nowhere but.除了哪里也不。 4There is a great deal of evidence_that music activities engage different parts of the brain.Aindicate BindicatingCto indicate Dindicated答案B解析考查非谓语动词。indicate预示，显示。和其逻辑主语evidence为主谓关系，也就是说evidence是indicate的发出者，所以用现在分词表示主动。 5His parents，_，did not look after him very wellthe elbows of his jacket and his boots were badly worn.Agenerally BgraduallyCactively Dapparently答案D解析句意为：他的父母显然没把他照顾好：他衬衫的肘部和靴子都破了。apparently adv.明显地。 6Nowhere else, as his mother told us，_except the cabin in the backyard.Adid he go Bhe did goCwent he Dhe went答案A解析考查倒装。nowhere(意思是：没有一个地方)表示否定意义的副词位于句首时要用部分倒装结构。 7It is easy to be thankful for the good things，_a life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.Athat BwhichCwhile Dwhen答案C解析考查连词用法。句意为：对美好的事物感恩很容易，然而，硕果累累的人生属于那些对挫折也心存感激的人。此处while意为“然而”，表示对比。 8Seventy­two hours passed.More than one hundred workers remained_in the coal mine, though fifty had been saved.Atrapping BtrappedCto be trapped Dbeing trapped答案B解析考查remainadj.的用法。由语境可知，工人是被困的，所以用trapped，意思是：被困的，被陷入的。 9Despite the fact_they lacked food, the explorers continued towards the goal.(2012·上海春招)Awhich BthatCwhat Dwhether答案B解析考查同位语从句的连接词。此处fact为抽象名词，其后的that从句为同位语从句。句意为：尽管缺乏食物，但探险者们继续向目标进发。10He saw her coming, and advised me to hide behind the door，_ advice I took at once.Awhose Bwhat Cthat Dwhich答案A解析whose引导定语从句指代先行词he且在从句中作advice的定语。11Before I began this job, I_a babysitter for two years.

Dbrand答案D解析brand指一类确定的、通常是著名的商品，可表述为“品牌”。signal信号；mark, sign标记，标志，不合题意。15Losing _ blood，the wounded soldier was in danger and the doctors must operate on him at once.Aa great many Ba great number ofCquite a little Da great deal答案C解析blood为不可数名词，a great deal后需加of；a great many与a great number of修饰可数名词复数。quite a little相当多的，颇多的，修饰不可数名词。.完形填空The PeacemakerI was travelling by the West Coast Express to

BdecidedCsupported Dbooked答案A解析作者在火车上，离自己不远的20号铺位是一位中年绅士坐着，因此，可以说这个铺位是这位绅士“占着”的，也就是他的铺位。动词occupy的意思是“占据”，而book的意思是“订票”，与此语境不符。 2A.teachers BvillagersCtourists Dworkers答案C解析根据第一段最后一句的“had a paper given by his travel agent to support himself”可知，这队人是旅游者。 3A.declared BpromisedCpredicted Dadvised答案A解析根据下文的“that he owned Berth No.20”和两个人之间的吵架可知，这个人是在“宣称”这个铺位是为他所有。 4A.still Beven Cyet Dalso答案B解析前面提到此人认为这个铺位是他的，而后又称自己有旅行社提供的“a paper”铺位证明，前后之间是进一步的关系。 5A.barrier Bmachine Cquarrel Dticket答案D解析根据后面的“told the second man that it was not his berth”可知，这个人应该是列车上的检票工作人员。 6A.his Bmine Cothers Dtheirs答案B解析此处的语境是：当工作人员说铺位是第一位绅士的时候，此时两人都回答“那是我的”，所以才有后面的继续争吵。 7A.go away Bgive inChold on Dcalm down答案B解析go away走开；give in屈服；hold on继续(不挂断电话)；calm down镇定下来。本句话的意思是：他不愿意屈服。 8A.companions BfriendsCpassers­by Dpassengers答案A解析这个中年人属于一个旅游团，因此，此处的意思是他有很多同伴在支持他。 9A.soon after Blong beforeClong after Dnow that答案C解析根据“Fierce arguments continued”以及此时的语境知，他们应该是出发后很长时间还在吵架。soon after稍后；long before之前很久；long after之后很久；now that既然。“continued”表明火车已经开了。10A.designed Bstopped Cpulled Descaped答案C解析他们俩的吵闹声很大，以致竟然有人拉响了“应急链”。11A.read Brest Cleave Dsleep答案D解析根据下文的“it was getting late”和最后一段的“was soon lost in deep，peaceful sleep”可知，此时天色已很晚，却无人能够入眠。动词rest词义太广，表达语意不够具体。12A.Suddenly BImmediatelyCUnluckily DMeanwhile答案A解析根据上下文语境，吵架一直在进行，一直到作者上铺的一个学生让了铺位才终止了这次吵架，因此，这个学生的介入是“突然地”。13A.businessman Bstudent Cnurse Dreporter答案B解析根据下文的“To my great surprise，the student then”可知，这位青少年应该是一名学生。14A.lend Brent Ctake Dspot答案C解析根据下文的“who accepted it”和最后一段作者对这个人的评价可以知道，这个学生主动让出了自己的铺位。15A.worry Bhesitation Cdelay Dfear答案B解析毕竟那是别人的无私的好意，因此，对于这个学生的好意，这个人在接受之前有一点犹豫，这符合当时这个人的心理活动。16A.threw Bfound Cspread Dcollected答案C解析根据下文的“was soon lost in deep，peaceful sleep”可知，这个学生是把报纸铺在地面上睡觉的。动词spread的意思是“铺开，展开”。17A.thankful Bsorry Chappy Dquiet答案D解析一开始两人吵架，弄得车上不得安宁，而一旦两人安静下来，大家都要去睡觉了(正如这个学生一样)，所以大家都马上安静下来。18A.controlled Btroubled Cgreeted Dtaught答案D解析此处指作为58岁的生物老师，作者刚教了两代青年学生，言外之意，作者对年轻人很了解。19A.convinced BsatisfiedCdisappointed Dencouraged答案A解析根据下文的“contrary to popular opinions”可知，作者是在反驳目前人们对青年人的偏见，自己深信年轻的一代是有希望的，特别是这件事更加强了作者对此的看法。20A.prouder Bnobler Ccooler Dlazier答案B解析作者这一天所看到的是：这个年轻人主动把自己的铺位让给他人。这正表明年轻人是“很高尚的”。.阅读理解Butterfly gardens can be grown throughout the United States.There is a wide variety of both butterfly­attracting (nectar) plants and host plants covering climate zones throughout the country.Butterfly gardens can range in size from a few containers placed in a sunny spot to several acres.Nectar­producing(产蜜的) plants will attract butterflies to your garden.In order to support a full butterfly life cycle，host plants (for laying eggs and used as a caterpillar food source) must also be present.Throughout the country，the general requirements for butterfly gardening are the same：full sun，nectar source plants，larval(幼虫的) host plants，a pesticide­free environment，and knowledge of the local butterfly species.Many butterfly­attracting plants are natives and require little attention as they are naturally adapted to the region in which they live.Butterfly gardens are best planted in spring with younger plants or in fall with mature plants that will become dormant quickly and re­emerge in spring.It is best not to plant in the heat of summer or the cold of winter.One of the most common mistakes in butterfly gardening is planting only one nectar source.Adult butterflies have a very short lifespan.Planting a variety of nectar sources will encourage more butterflies to visit the garden.Planting an adequate supply of host plants gives butterflies a place to lay their eggs，which will successfully hatch(孵化) and result in butterflies that will continue to visit the garden.Butterflies typically lay their eggs in late spring and hatch 36 days after they are laid.It takes 34 weeks for a caterpillar to pupate(化蛹) and 914 days to emerge as an adult.Good resources for learning more about butterfly gardening include zoos，botanical gardens，butterfly houses，garden centers and nurseries，libraries and the Internet.There are many good websites dedicated to butterflies and butterfly gardening.1Which of the following is TRUE，according to the passage?AButterfly gardens can be grown only in some parts of the US.BButterfly gardens must be large in size.CButterfly gardens should be in a sunny place.DButterfly gardens need to plant butterfly­attracting plants only.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句的“full sun”可知，C项正确。根据第一段第一句可排除A项，根据第一段第三句可排除B项，根据第二段可排除D项。 2Native butterfly­attracting plants are better because _.Athey smell better to butterfliesBthey can adapt to the local regionCthey can grow faster and tallerDthey can be planted in a container答案B解析细节理解题。从文章第三段第二句可知，本地的植物不需要太多的照料，因为它们能够自然地适应它们生长的环境。 3Host plants are used to _.Aattract butterflies Bprotect adult butterfliesCfeed adult butterflies Dsupport a full butterfly life cycle答案D解析细节理解题。从文章第二段第二句可知，寄主植物用于帮助蝴蝶完成整个生命周期。4Which of the following is the correct order of a butterfly life cycle?aIt is born as an egg.bIt emerges as an adult.cA caterpillar hatches out.dA caterpillar pupates.Aacdb BadcbCdacb Ddcab答案A解析事实排序题。从文章倒数第二段可知，蝴蝶的生命周期的正确顺序应为A项。9
