He was ill.（分数：1.00）A.besidesB.except C.withD.without解析：精析 本
27、题考查连词的用法。except 的意思是“除之外、除了”，用在句中表示除去后面的内容，其余的全部都属于某种情况。besides 意为“除了(以外)还”，包含在所属范围内。如果选 A，全句意为：除了约翰去公园外，其他的同学也都去了(即 John包含在“去公园的人们”这个范围内)。但题意是：约翰病了，没能去公园。因此 A项与题意不符，所以本题的正确答案为 B。 知识拓展 except与 except for的区别： except 与 except for都表示“除了”。在all，every，no，everything，anybody，nowhere 这类词后面，两者都可以换用，后面接名词或代词做宾
28、格。在其它情况下，只能用 except for表示“除之外”。如： I looked everywhere except (for) here除了这里我到处都找了。Your composition is good except for a few spelling mistakes你的作文很好，只是有几个拼写错误。2.When the peace talk failed, there was a very real fear that war may _ at any time.（分数：1.00）A.break offB.break upC.break out D.bread down解析：精
29、析 本题考查动词短语的辨析。break off 的意思是“突然结束、中断”，break up 的意思是“打碎、拆开”，break out 的意思是“突然发生、爆发”，break down 的意思是“打倒、失败”。根据句意，本题的正确答案为 C。 知识拓展 有关 break的其余短语：break away 逃脱、放弃(组织、信仰等)；break into 闯入、突然起来；break through 突破、冲垮、(经历艰辛后)做出新发现；break in插话、打断、闯入等。3.The manager of the restaurant has made it clear that a cook w
30、ill be immediately fired if he is found _ in the kitchen.（分数：1.00）A.smokeB.smokedC.smoking D.to smoke解析：精析 本题考查感官动词后面接双宾语的用法。题目中说要是被经理发现在厨房吸烟的话，就会被立即开除。句中用动词的现在分词形式表示动作的进行状态。根据题意，本题的正确答案为 C。 知识拓展 find sbdoing sth与 find sbdo sth的区别：find，hear，see，watch，feel 等感官动词后面可以接双宾语成分，构成 find sbdoing sth与 find sb
31、do sth的句型，其所表示的意义是不一样的。find sbdoing sth表示的是“发现某人正在做某事”，表示的是一种状态。而 find sbdo sth的意思是“发现某人做某事”，表示的是一种做某事的全过程。如：I found many students reading on the campus in the morning我发现很多学生在校园里晨读。 You will find the bus drivers work all the day你会发现这些巴士司机们整日劳作。4.In the museum, we saw the model of a house designed by
32、 the pioneers and built _ wood and brick.（分数：1.00）A.upB.onC.of D.by解析：精析 本题考查介词的用法。be built of 的意思是“用建造”，其后面接的是原材料，也就是说能看得出是用什么材料建造的。句中说的是房屋模型是用木头和砖头建造的。所以正确的答案为 C。 知识拓展 build sthof/from/out of sth用修建，建造某物。如：a house built of stone，brick，etc一座用石、砖等建造的房屋 build up变得更大或更强。如：Traffic is building up on roa
33、ds into the city。 来往的车辆在通往市区的道路上越聚越多。build on sth建立于某事物之上。如：build ones hopes on the economic strength of the country 把希望建立于国家的经济实力之上5.Susan got sunburned because she _ on the beach all afternoon.（分数：1.00）A.layB.is lyingC.has lainD.had been lying 解析：精析 本题考查过去完成进行时的用法。过去完成进行时表示动作在过去某一时间之前开始，一直持续到这一过去时
34、间。并且动作还有可能持续下去。句中说 Susan被晒黑了，是发生在过去的某一动作，而 lie这一动作在“晒黑”这一动作之前发生，并且在说话时，此动作可能仍在继续，故用过去完成进行时。根据句意，本题的正确答案为 D。 知识拓展 和过去完成时一样，过去完成进行时亦可接具有“突然”意义的 when从句(此从句用一般过去时)，如：I had only been reading a few minutes when he came in我刚看了几分钟书，他就进来了。6.I didnt expect you to arrive so soon. How long did the journey _.（分数
35、：1.00）A.goB.coverC.makeD.take 解析：精析 本题考查动词词义的辨析。动词 take表示“花费时间、金钱做某事”，根据句意，本题的正确答案为 D。 知识拓展 it takes sbsome time/ money to do sth的意思是“做某事花费某人多少时间、金钱”。这里的 take表示“花费、占据”，不可以用 spend，cost，cover 等同义词替代。如：It took him 3 days to finish this drawing画这幅画他花费了二天时间。7.The firemen arrived half an hour _ the alarm
36、was first raised, when it was too late to save much of the building.（分数：1.00）A.sinceB.untilC.asD.after 解析：精析 本题考查连词的用法。since 的意思是“自从以来”，until 的意思是“直到才”，as的意思是“当时候”，after 的意思是“在之后”。本句意为：消防员在警报第一次响起的半小时后到达，这时已经太晚，不能挽救大部分建筑。根据题意，正确的答案为 D。 知识拓展“until”引导时间状语从句，如果主句的时态用一般将来时，时间状语从句或条件状语从句用一般现在时表示将来。如：The
37、little boy wont understand the matter until his father explains to him直到父亲给他解释后，小男孩才明白了那件事。8.In order to keep fit, you can get off the bus one or two stops _ and walk the rest of the way.（分数：1.00）A.earlyB.earlier C.more earlyD.the earliest解析：精析 本题考查形容词比较级的用法。early 的比较级是 earlier，最高级是 earliest。根据题目意思，
38、提前几站下车，步行剩下的路程，所以本题的正确答案为 B。 知识拓展 形容词的比较级和最高级一般是在词尾加 er或 est或变 y为 i再加 er或 est。以 e为结尾的直接加 r或 st。多音节词要加more或 most。如：thinthinner/thinnest；slowslowet/slowest；beautifulmore beautiful/most beautiful9.I have never wanted to be a white collar worker, _ I would be bored with office work.（分数：1.00）A.as B.ifC.s
39、oD.or解析：精析 本题考查连词的用法。as 表示“因为”，if 表示“如果、假设”，so 表示“所以、因此”，or 表示“或者”。本句意为：我从来没有想过要成为白领，因为我会厌倦办公室工作。根据句意可知，本题的正确答案为 A。 知识拓展 表示原因的连词的用法区别；as 和 since引导的原因从句常常放前面，但有时也可以放后面。如：As all the seats were full, I stood up因为所有的座位都有人，我就站了起来。because 一般指出直接的原因，在回答 why引起的问句时都会用它。如：He distrusts me because I am new他不信任我
40、是因为我是新来的。because 引导的从句，通常放在主句的后面，但是有时为了强调也可以放在前面。如：Because I worked fast, I finished early因为我工作快，我很早就完成了。for 表示原因，在书面语中用的比较多，引导的分句对前面的话进行分析解释，常用逗号把它和前面的分句隔开。如：The days are short, for it is now December白天很短，因为现在已经是十二月了。10.Youd better button up your coat; it _ cold and the wind is blowing.（分数：1.00）A.g
41、etsB.is getting C.will getD.has got解析：精析 本题考查时态的用法。原题中说的是：你最好把扣子扣好，天气变冷了，起风了。现在进行时表示一种目前的情况，在此句中“天气正在转凉”与后面“起风”动词时态保持一致。故 B为正确选项。11.The first step in setting up your home office is to decide _ you will use your officefor study or for job-related work.（分数：1.00）A.whereB.what C.whenD.how解析：精析 本题考查疑问词的用
42、法。解答本题的关键在于注意破折号后面的介词 for。一般来说，我们用 what.for表示“是用来做什么”的意思。所以这里正确的答案为 B。 知识拓展 与 what相连接的疑问词用法：what for 表示“做什么用、干什么”的意思。如：What is the button for?这个按钮是用来做什么的?what about 表示“怎么样、如何”的意思。如：What about going out for a drink?出去喝一杯怎么样?what 订表示“要是怎么办”的意思。如：What if the weather is really bad?天气要是真的变坏怎么办?12.Its a p
43、ity that you _ leave so soon. Its been so nice having you here.（分数：1.00）A.should B.couldC.canD.might解析：精析 本题考查情态动词的用法。情态动词 should除了表示“意愿、应该”的意思外，还可以用宋表示说话人吃惊、诧异的情绪，可以翻译为“竟然”。could，call，might 都没有此项意思。所以正确的答案为 A。 知识拓展 call 和 could的区别：can 和 could都是情态动词，都和动词原形构成谓语。表示“能够”、“做某事的能力”时，两者的意思差不多。can 主要用在现在时态中
44、，而 could作为 can的过去时，主要用在过去时态中。在表示“可能性”时，两者的区别主要在语气上。can 表示推测的可能性更大，而 could则表示可能性相对小点。could 更常用于“请求、要求”中，语气更委婉。13.From the look on his face I knew that the end had come, one way or _.（分数：1.00）A.otherB.othersC.another D.the others解析：精析 本题考查代词的用法。another 的意思是“另一个”，除去这个的别的方面。根据句意：从他脸上的表情，我知道结果已经出来了，不是用这种
45、方法，就是用那种方法。 知识拓展 another 与other的区别：another 可以用作形容词，表示“另一个、又一个”的意思。还可以与数词连用，表示“还、再、又”。如： Thats another thing那是另一回事。 Have another cup of tea?再来杯茶? I have got another 30 minutes我还有三十分钟。 还可以用作代词，表示“另一个”。如： Saying is one thing, and doing is another说是一回事，做是另一回事。 other 表示“另一些”，也可以翻译为“另外、其它的”。还可以做代词，表示“别人、另
46、外那个”。如： Show me other styles给我看看别的式样。14.Even if you take the matter to the judge, you have no chance of winning the _.（分数：1.00）A.case B.matterC.problemD.argument解析：精析 本题考查名词的词义辨析。case 除了表示“情况、病例”之外，还可以表示“案例”，主要用在法律术语中。所以，本题的正确答案为 A。 知识拓展 in case 与 in case of的区别：in case表示“以防”、“如果、万一”，后面主要接从句。如：Take w
47、arm clothes in case the weather is cold带些暖和衣服，以防天气变冷。in case of 同样表示“以防”，后面主要接名词。如：The wall was built along the river in case of floods沿江建造了长堤，以防洪水的到来。 in that case表示“如果那样的话”。15.Recent study shows that regular review leads to _ performance on tests.（分数：1.00）A.improveB.improvesC.improved D.improvement解析：精析 本题考查动词语态的辨析。有些动词的过去分词可以做该动词的相应的形容词，这里的improved的意思就是“提高的、完善的”。所以正确的答案为 C。 知识拓展 有些动词的现在分词形式与过去分词形式所表达的意思是不一样的。如：interesting/interested 有趣的/感到有趣的； satisfying/satisfied令人满意的/感到满意的； disappointing/disappointed 令人失望的/感到失望的。
