答案及剖析:1.C 考查交际用语。句意:——我们来讨论一下如何度过即将到来的新年好吗?——听起来是个好主意。问句是提建议的用语,因此应该用“That sounds great.”来接受对方的邀请。其他三项均不符合语境。
2.D 本题考查宾语从句中含有的强调句型。句意:杰克,你能告诉我为什么你最近总是迟到吗?此处表示“为什么最近你老是到校迟到?”用强调句型应表达为why is it that...,因为用于宾语从句中,所以用陈述句语序。
3.B 考查动词短语。句意:布朗夫人总是告诉她的孩子要做好孩子,警告他们要远离麻烦。keep out of避免,不卷入,符合句意。live up to不辜负;put up with容忍;take part in参加,均不符合句意。
4.B 由后一句话可知,答语者想婉言谢绝,B项的意思符合语境。表达“你真的不得不在周末请假吗?”之意。
5.D 由连词but可知,后面的应该是个句子,用it代指前面的分句所表述的内容。若选A,则需去掉but,成为一个由which引导的非限制性定语从句。
6.D would rather后接宾语从句,从句中用一般过去时,表示与现在事实相反的假设或愿望,连词but引出现在的情况,故答案为D项,用一般现在时。
7.B 句意:比尔·盖茨如此善良以至于他决定把他90%的钱财捐给慈善机构。考查词组辨析。give away免费送出某物,赠送,符合句意。give up放弃,让步;give out分发,散发;give off释放(光、电、热等)。
8.B risk用作动词,后通常接名词或动词-ing形式作宾语,而不接不定式,意思为“冒着……的风险”。故答案为B。
9.B 句意:由于一些我们不能控制的情况,15点30分开往谢菲尔德的火车已经被取消。介词短语due to,意思为“由于;因为”,符合语境。in terms of“从某方面讲”;according to“根据”;in spite of“不管;不顾”。
10.D 句意:他全身心地投入研究,终于病倒了。eventually(=in the end,at last)最后;终于;unfortunately不幸地;遗憾地;hopefully怀有希望地;purposefully有决心地,坚定地。
11.A 本题考查两个固定结构的用法。句型would like to do sth.意思为“乐意或愿意做某事”;feel like doing sth.意思为“想要做某事”。
12.B 句意:尽管Ricardo受伤了,他仍然和队友参加星期六的比赛。in spite of意思为“尽管;不顾”;instead of代替,而不是;thanks to幸亏,由于;due to因为,由于。
13.A it作形式宾语,指代if从句所表述的内容。I would appreciate it if...如果……我将不胜感激,为固定句型。句意:如果你提前让我知道你是否会来,我会非常感激的。
14.A 句意:除非恶劣的天气阻止我,我每天早上都进行户外锻炼。unless除非;since既然,自从……以来;if如果;though尽管。由句意知A项正确。
15.D whoever在此处相当于anyone who,引导宾语从句,意思为“不管是谁”。若选B项,要加上关系词who,构成定语从句。 Ⅱ.任务型读写
Passage 1
(对应学生用书第135页) (2012皖北协作区第一次联考)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
More than twenty tons of ivory (象牙),seized from illegal hunters,was burned in Kenya to keep the ivory off the international market and to discourage the illegal killing of elephants for their ivory.
The past 12 months had seen a record number of large ivory seizures across the world,a wildlife protection organization said Thursday,saying it had been a horrible year for elephants.There were at least 13 large seizures in 2011,totaling at least 23 tons of ivory meaning that about 2,500 elephants were killed.
This compares to just six large seizures in 2010,weighing a total of just under 10 tons,and confirms a sharp rise in the trade since 2007.This is the worst year ever for large ivory seizures in the past 23 years—2011 had truly been a horrible year for elephants.
Most illegal shipments of African elephant ivory end up in either China,where it is made into powder and used in traditional medicine,or in Thailand,with Malaysia the most frequent transit country (中转国).The increasing quantities of ivory being traded,most of which are from either Kenyan or Tanzanian ports,reflected a rising demand in Asia.They constantly change their transport ways to Asia to avoid detection,including switching from airplanes to sea ships,and once the ivory products arrive,their documentation (证明文件) is rewritten to hide the fact that
