1.When you write compositions, you should try your best to ________ to the point.
A.come B.keep
C.make D.get
解析:考查动词短语搭配。keep to the point 中肯,切题。本句意思为“当你写做文章时,你要尽力切题”。其余选项中的动词不与 point 搭配。
答案:B
2.Tom kept quiet about the accident ________ lose his job.
A.not in order to B.in order not to
C.in order to not D.in not order to
解析:in order to 的否定形式作目的状语,所以选B。
答案:B
3.According to the recent research, heavy coffee drinking and heart attack are not necessarily ________ and effect.
A.reason B.cause
C.fact D.affect
解析:考查名词辨析。cause and effect 因果;reason 也表示“理由;原因”,但它是一种推理上的理由,即说明一种看法和行为的“理由”;而 cause 则指客观存在的一种事实或现象的“原因”;fact 表示“事实”,与题目要求不符;affect 是动词,在此处语法不通。
答案:B
4.The visiting Minister expressed his satisfaction with the talks, ________ that he had enjoyed his stay here.
A.having added B.to add
C.adding D.added
解析:adding 作伴随状语,意为“补充说”,可以转换成:The visiting Minister expressed his satisfaction with the talks and added that he had enjoyed his stay here.
答案:C
5.This publishing firm is planing ________ textbooks.
A.a series new of B.new a series of
C.of a series new D.a new series of
解析:考查短语搭配。a series of 意思为“一系列的”,因为 series 本身是名词,所以用形容词 new 来修饰。
答案:D
6.Weak as the small country is, it dares to say ________ to powerful ones.
A.hello B.yes
C.no D.sorry
解析:say no to... “拒绝……”。
答案:C
7.We need to ________ when we have problems.
A.ask for advices B.asking for advice
C.ask for advice D.ask advice
解析:考查名词 advice 的用法。advice 是不可数名词,“一个建议”要用 a piece of advice。ask for advice 表示“寻求建议”。need to do sth. 表示“需要做某事”,to 后面跟动词原形。
答案:C
8.Protestors (抗议者)________ the meeting by singing and shouting.
A.upset B.attended
C.held D.ignored
解析:upset “搅乱”。句意:抗议者以唱歌和喊叫搅乱了会议。
答案:A
9.Though he was angry at the naughty boy's rudeness, he ________ himself and talked to him with patience.
A.persuaded B.prepared
C.hid D.calmed
解析:考查动词辨析。calm 常与反身代词连用。意思为“平静下来,镇静下来”。persuade 说服;prepare 准备;hide 隐藏。与题干要求不符。
答案:D
10.The music ________ our enjoyment.
A.added up B.added up to
C.added to D.added
解析:add to “增加”;其余各项均不符合题意。
答案:C
11.Eastern areas have ________ too many wars in the past fifty years.
A.got through B.gone through
C.looked through D.passed through
解析:考查动词短语辨析。go through 经受,经历(战争、困难、痛苦等);get through 做完,完成;look through 仔细检查/寻找;pass through 是不存在的短语。只有 go through 符合题意。
答案:B
12.—Do you mind if I carry on with my work while you ________ tea ready?
—No, of course not.
A.are getting B.will get
C.have made D.made
解析:while 表示“在……期间”,后面应用进行时。
答案:A
13.—Excuse me, is this Mr. Smith's office?
—I'm sorry, but Mr. Smith ________ works here. He left about three weeks ago.
A.not now B.no more
C.not still D.no longer
解析:考查短语。根据意思首先排除A、C。no longer/not... any longer; no more/not... any more 都表示“不再”,但在用法上稍有不同。谈论数量时,用 no more。谈论时间时,用 no longer。再者,no more 强调频度上的不再发生,相当于 not... again。注意:no longer 一般不与 be 动词连用。
答案:D
14.I was really anxious about you. You ________ home without a word.
A.mustn't leave B.shouldn't have left
C.couldn't have left D.needn't leave
解析:虚拟语气用法。句意:我(那时)真的很担心你,你本不该不留个话就离开家。shouldn't have done sth. 表示本不应该干某事,常用于责备的语气。
答案:B
15.I've told you what the situation is;you must act ________.
A.accordingly B.according to
C.according as D.accordingly to
解析:考查介词短语。according to 根据,后面跟名词或者代词,首先排除。according as 不存在;accordingly 相应地,从而。
答案:A

第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Friend is better than fortune. Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above are opposite and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways.
My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below—he has no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model. With his help I am free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.
36.This passage tells us ________.
A.how to make friends with others
B.how the writer's friend helps him
C.what kind of person the writer's friend is
D.what kind of person we should make friends with
37.An ideal friend means ________.
A.a true friend B.a false friend
C.an imaginary friend D.an excellent friend
38.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.the writer and his ideal friend have a lot to learn from each other
B.the writer has a lot to learn from his ideal friend
C.the writer's ideal friend has a lot to learn from him
D.the writer has only a little to learn from his ideal friend
答案与解析
36.D 主旨题。由全文可知文章讲的是我们应该与什么样的人做朋友。
37.C 词义辨析题。由文中可知:an ideal friend 指“(作者)心目中的朋友”,所以选C。
38.B 推理题。由第二段最后三句话可推知。
B
Real friend, real meaning
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we will miss the meaning behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.”and that's friendly. But a “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you observe your luck.
Just think of all the things you have to be “thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
39.When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us is to ________.
A.notice his body language when the person is talking
B.look at his face and notice his expression
C.pay attention to his tone and his posture
D.judge the real meaning from his speech and behavior
40.According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ________.
A.we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B.we sometimes don't believe what our friends say
C.we are tired of what they say
D.people usually state one thing but mean another
41.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Perhaps he wishes himself to have the same situation as you when he says “you are a lucky dog”.
B.Most mistakes we usually make are about money.
C.There is only one way to tell the real meaning behind someone's words.
D.It's not worth spending time in getting someone's real meaning.
42.This passage is mainly about ________.
A.what to do when you listen to others
B.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
C.which kind of mistake you can make when you are talking to others
D.why we go wrong with people
