13、y and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong - minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful.

14、reference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don“ t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more c
15、omfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing.

22、plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic p
23、rinciple of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300, 000 kilomete
24、rs in one second. A radar set sends out short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the distance it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other
25、objects. The word “radar“, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging“. “Ranging“ is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, a
26、nd for tracking weather systems and storms. The main topic of this passage is the 1 . According to the passage, radar can detect the 2 besides the location of objects; and radar uses 3 , instead of sound waves. In the eighth sentence, the word “it“ refers to 4 . In the second sentence, the word “den

38、题数：5，分数：5.00)1.The criminal didn“t realize the value of freedom _ he had lost it.（分数：1.00）A.ifB.asC.whileD.until 解析：解析 until 的用法 试题精解 until 在否定句中，表示“直到才”，“在前”的意思。如：I did not see Papa until the evening(直到晚上我才见到爸爸。) It is not untilthat是强调句型。如：It was not until I had read your letter that I knew the tru
39、th(直到读了你的信，我才了解真相。)2.The Chinese wants to _ their national flag flying on the surface of Moon by 2020.（分数：1.00）A.see B.observeC.noticeD.note解析：see，observe，notice，note see 有“看”或“看到”的意思。see 的使用范围虽然最广，但作为“看”的含义，不用于祈使句。As soon as he saw us，he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins.他一看到我们就拿起了
40、一根镶有硬币的长长的管乐器。observe 和 notice 都有“看到”或“注意到”的意思，但 observe 强调“留心观察”。notice 则包含着“偶然看到”的意思，其内涵是“看到目的物后要作出反应”。如：看到熟人常常打个招呼，看到一件事后在脑中进行判断。I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants.我偶然在花园里走着走着，突然看到许多蜗牛在我的一些心爱的植物上悠闲地爬着。note 比 noti

42、：解析 句意：那座城市正在修建一座钢铁厂和几家卫星厂。该题考查的是主谓一致。主语是 an iron and steel works，后面的 with several satellite factories 只是补充成分，所以谓语用单数。4._, I will stick to my dream.（分数：1.00）A.SomehowB.Anyhow C.SomewhatD.Anywhere解析：解析 无论如何，我都不会放弃梦想。 解析 本题考查词义辨析。somehow 意为“不知怎么地”；anyhow(=at any rate；in anycase)意为“无论如何，不管怎样”；somewhat
43、意为“在某种程度上，有点”；anywhere 意为“任何地方”。根据题意应选 B。5.As a student in that famous school, Henry used to look hurt when（分数：1.00）A.scolded B.having scoldedC.to scoldD.scolding解析：解析 过去分词 解析 Scold“批评”与 Henry 是被动关系，所以用过去分词 scolded 表示被动意思。过去分词作状语时，其前面可以有 when，while，unless，after，if 等连词。 避错 having scolded，to scold，sco
44、lding 都不是被动形式，不表示被动意思。三、Section B(总题数：5，分数：5.00)6.My brother agreed (give) 1me a hand when I to ld him the troubles I met with. （分数：1.00）解析：to give 解析 动词不定式 句意 当我把碰到的麻烦告诉哥哥时，他答应帮助我。 解析 此处空格为 agreed 的宾语，agreed 后面常接动词不定式做宾语，所以应该用其不定式形式。7.If he hadn“t spent so much money, he (be) 1 rich today. （分数：1.00
45、）解析：would be解析 本题测试错综时间虚拟条件句。“如果他过去不大手大脚地花钱，今天就会很富裕了。”本句中从句与过去事实相反，主句与现在事实相反。8.My father has had one of his (tooth) 1 taken out. （分数：1.00）解析：teeth解析 句意：我父亲(请医生)拔掉了一颗牙。该题考查的是名词的复数形式。one of 后面的可数名词要用复数形式。9.The reporter said that this new film was based on (history) 1 events. （分数：1.00）解析：historical 解析
