You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A , B, C and D. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. ） 第1题 As a matter of fact, they would rather leave for Beijing than ______ in Shanghai. A stay B staying C stayed D to stay 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 虚拟语气     [试题精解] 原句中would rather和than连接的是两个并列谓语，所以than后面接动词原型。此外，英语中有一些固定句型要求在后面接从句时使用虚拟语气。除了这句话中的would rather之外，还有would sooner，had better，would as soon，just as soon等结构，这些结构后面接虚拟语气时，如果表示对现在或将来的虚拟，从句用一般过去时，如果表示对过去事实的虚拟用过去完成时。例如：I would rather they came tomorrow。 第2题 It was not until yesterday evening ______ the manager made his decision known. A when B that C as D so 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 强调句型 [试题精解] 强调句型的构成是It is(was)．．．that．．．，that前面是强调的部分，可以强调主语、宾语、状语和表语。当强调的部分是人时，that可以用who来替换。强调句型只用来表示强调，并不改变原来的句意和结构，因此，去掉强调句型结构，句子仍然是完整的一句话，原句可以转换为Not until yesterday evening，the manager made his decision known。 第3题 I broke a dish while washing up this morning. Of course, I did not ______. A love to B need to C mean to D want to 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 动词辨析题   [试题精解] 四个选项后面都省略了break a dish。love to 意为“喜欢做某事，愿意做某事”；need to 意为“需要做某事”；mean to意为“有意做某事，故意地做某事”；want to意为“想要做某事”。根据句意，C最合题意。 第4题 ______ is often the case, one third of the workers have over-fulfilled the production plan. A What B This C That D As 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 非限定性定语从句 [试题精解] 题干后面是完整的一句话，而中间没有连词，可以判断出前面不是句子，因此排除B和 C。而A选项不能引导非限定性定语从句，只能选D。as引导非限定性定语从句，在句中多充当主语和宾语，通常放在句首或句尾，常译作“正如……”。例如：He opposed the idea，as could be expected．(正如可以预料的，他反对这个意见。) 第5题 We didn't finish the work in time. You ______ us since you were there. A might help B should help C could have helped D must have helped 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 情态动词 [试题精解] 不同的情态动词后面接不定式的完成式可以表示不同的意义。could have done表示本来能做而实际没做，有时用来提出委婉的批评和表示后悔，也可以表示推测过去的动作很可能已经发生了；should have done表示对已发生事情表示不满，本应该做但却没做；must have done推测过去某事一定发生了；might have done表示过去某事也许发生了。 第6题 Mr. Jones, ______ life was once very hard, is now very successful in his business. A of him B his C whose D by whom 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 定语从句 [试题精解] 题干主要测试的是定语从句中的关系代词。定语从句中可以充当关系代词的有who， whom，whose，that，which等。根据先行词在从句中充当的成分，选用不同的关系代词。whose是属格，在从句中作定语，表示“……的”。当先行词是人时，用who和whom充当关系代词，作主语时用 who，宾语用whom，有时也可以用that。例如：Is there anyone in your class whose family is in the northeast?(你班上有谁家在东北吗?) 第7题 I decide to leave the company next month, where I ______ for exactly three years. A work B is working C will be working D will have worked 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 动词时态     [试题精解] 本题考查的是对时态的掌握。题干中有关键的提示词for，由此可以判断需要用完成时。因为前半句话告诉我们时间是将来的时间(next month)，所以应该选用将来完成时，表示到将来某个时间为止已发生的动作或存在的状态。例如：I hope we’ll have got the instructions ready be- fore you come tomorrow．(我希望明天你来之前我们已把说明书准备好了。)When we get there they will probably have left．(我们到那里时他们可能已经走了。) 第8题 The weather report says that there will be a storm ______ two days. A until B before C in D by 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 介词的用法 [试题精解] 与将来的某段时间连用时要用in，表示“……之后”，代替after。例如：I’ll come round in a day or two．(我一两天就回来。)We’ll be back in no time．(我们一会儿就回来。) 第9题 Since Dick was busy, he rarely had time to go to the cinema; ______. A Jane did too B Jane didn't as well C so did Jane D nor did Jane 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 倒装句 [试题精解] 本题的考点是倒装结构。如果so引导表示前面所说的情况也适用于另一个人(或东西)的句子(肯定句)时，要用倒装句，例如：I am quite willing to help and so are the others．(我很愿意帮忙，其他人也都很愿意。)如果一个句子只是重复前面一句话的意思，尽管是用so开头的，语序也不要颠倒。例如：“It was cold yesterday．”“So it was!”(“昨天天气很冷。”“是很冷。”)除了so外， nor，neither，no more(否定句)也符合上述原则。 第10题 The May Day Holiday ______ over, we must now get down to work. A be B being C to have been D to be 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 分词独立主格结构 [试题精解] 分词短语可以和它的逻辑主语构成独立主格结构，如果分词短语与逻辑主语构成主谓关系，用现在分词，如果分词短语与逻辑主语构成动宾关系，用过去分词。例如：Weather permitting， we’ll go outing tomorrow．(天气允许的话，我们明天去郊游。)The job finished，we could get a two- day holiday．(工作完成了，我们能有两天的假期。) 四、Structure（Section B ） （本大题10小题．每题1.0分，共10.0分。Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. ） 第1题 Last night we all went to the cinema, because the film was very (excite) ______. 【正确答案】： 答案:exciting [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 现在分词 [试题精解] 根据题意空格处应该是表语成分，而且空格前又有very修饰，可以判断需要填excite的形容词。现在分词和过去分词都具有形容词词性，现在分词表示事物的特点，常译作“令人……的”，过去分词形容事物的状态，常译作“感到……的”。本句的主语是the film，因此选择exciting来形容它的特点，“令人兴奋的，刺激的”。 第2题 My secretary asked me if I had anything else for her (type) ______ before she left. 【正确答案】： 答案:to type [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 不定式结构 [试题精解] 不定式可以在句中作定语，这种不定式很多和它修饰的词有动宾关系，因此，如果这个不定式是不及物动词，它后面就应该有必要的介词。例如：I want to get something to read during the vacation．(我想找点书假期看。)There’s nothing to worry about．(没有什么值得发愁的。) 第3题 The piece of music was composed by a very famous blind (music) ______. 【正确答案】： 答案:musician [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 词形转换 [试题精解] 空格前有famous和blind来修饰，很显然空格处需要一个表人的名词。 第4题 If we (know) ______ that the books were available, we would have bought them yesterday. 【正确答案】： 答案:had known [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 虚拟语气 [试题精解] 根据句子结构，可以判断这句话是对过去事实进行相反假设的虚拟语气句，因此主句用情态动词+动词的完成式，从句用过去完成时。 第5题 Ms. Davis is proud of her students because they are not only (hard-work) ______ , but also very creative. 【正确答案】： 答案:hard-working [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 并列结构 [试题精解] not only．．．but also引导的是两个并列的句式结构，常译作“不但……而且……”，but also后面接的是形容词creative，因此，not only后面也需要一个形容词，与后面保持一致。 第6题 The project was not actually realized as it was not very (practice) ______. 【正确答案】： 答案:practical [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 词形转换 [试题精解] 空格前面有主语和系动词，可以判断出空格处是表语，而且有副词very修饰，因此空格处应该填形容词practical。 第7题 We were shocked to find that the man (come) ______ towards us was carrying a gun. 【正确答案】： 答案:coming [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 分词作定语 [试题精解] 分词和分词短语可以做定语，单个分词作定语放在所修饰词的前面，分词短语作定语时，放在所修饰词的后面。如果分词短语与中心词构成主谓关系，用现在分词，如果分词短语与中心词构成动宾关系，用过去分词。本句中心词是，the man，和come构成主谓关系，因此用coming作定语。 第8题 The Chairman of the Board explained his point again so that there would be no (understand) ______. 【正确答案】： 答案:misunderstanding [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 否定前缀 [试题精解] there be句型中没有主语，而且前面有no修饰，因此需要填understand的名词，根据句意，可以判断此处应该是否定意义，“没有误解”，所以填misunderstanding。 第9题 We formally invited the General Manager of the Panda Group (attend) ______ our opening ceremony. 【正确答案】： 答案:to attend [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 不定式结构 [试题精解] 根据句子结构，应该填不定式结构作宾语，构成搭配invite sb．to do sth．(邀请某人做某事。) 第10题 Tom took no notice of what I was saying because he thought I (cheat) ______ him. 【正确答案】： 答案:was cheating (cheated) [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 [测试重点] 动词时态 [试题精解] 空格处是宾语从句的谓语部分。主句是一般过去时，所以原因状语从句从时态上看，过去进行时或一般过去时都可以。 五、Reading Comprehension（共10小题,共10.0分）Directions: After rending the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 第1题      "But I just paid $1.69 for lifts bottle of wine last week. How come the price is now $ 2.25? What's going on?"    There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to do with the supply and demand factors of economics.    The first factor is that people drink more wine than ever before. This demand for more wine has in- creased overall(总体)wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year.    The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which means that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes (葡萄). But in at least three wine-producing areas of the world—France, Germany, and California—new vineyards (葡萄园)will not be available in the near tirade. Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain and Australia, but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines.    The third factor is that costs of wine productions are increasing. The man who make wine are asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensive.    When the demand for something is greater than tile supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the prices of labor and machinery rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine. From the first paragraph, we know that the speaker is ______. A asking about the price B worrying about the price C bargaining over the price D complaining about the price 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 主旨题 [解题思路] 文章第一段第一句话是顾客的话“但是上周我买这瓶酒才花了1.69美元，现在为什么卖2.25美元?怎么回事啊?”很显然，说话者是在抱怨价格上涨，因此选D。 第2题 The three factors mentioned in the passage cause ______. A the sales of wine to increase B the price of wine to go up C the production of wine to decrease D more and more people to drink wine 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 细节题 [解题思路] 文章第二段第一句话“There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise．”答案显然是B。 第3题 The supply of wine has remained the same partly because ______. A wine-producing countries are unwilling to increase their production B new vineyards will not be opened up in such counties as Australia C countries like Italy and Spain can' t supply enough good wines D the production of wine bottles has ceased to increase 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 细节题 [解题思路] 第四段最后一句“Wines are produced in other countries，such as Italy ，Spain and Australia，but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines．”(葡萄酒在其他国家生产，如意大利、西班牙和澳大利亚，但是这些国家中没有一个能满足对好酒的需求。)由此可以看出C是部分原因。 第4题 What does "production costs" refer to in the last paragraph? A The price of grapes and machines. B The cost of land and transportation. C The price of wine and wine bottles. D The cost of the manpower and equipment. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 词汇题 [解题思路] 文章的最后一段最后一句“When production costs，meaning the price of labor and the machinery rise，the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine．”第二个分句meaning…是对前面的解释说明，当生产成本，也就是劳动力和机器价格上升时，生产者提高了酒的价格。因此D是正确答案。 第5题 The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______. A persuade people to drink less wine B tell people where to get the best wine C explain why the price of wine is rising D show that wine is popular with Americans 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 主旨题 [解题思路] 从全文来看，作者主要讨论的就是葡萄酒涨价的三个因素，因此选C。 第6题    Airline companies are responsible for transporting your luggage. If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the luggage is re- covered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.    Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds (20 kg); in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage allowance form the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you mast pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed(补偿)by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA).    Each suitcase, bag or package must be dearly labeled with your name and destination.

A ask you to insure your luggage B deliver it to where you live C inform you about its recovery D ask you to pay some money for it 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 细节题 [解题思路] 文章第一段提到如果乘客在飞行终点取不到行李的话，应该立即通知航空公司，他们会马上寻找，而且“If the luggage is recovered，it will be delivered to your place of residence．”(如果行李找到了，会马上送到你的住所。)因此B为正确答案。 第7题 Before taking your air trip, you have to make sure ______. A of the restriction on luggage B of the insurance for luggage C who will pay for the excess luggage D how much CIDA will pay for the excess luggage 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 推理题 [解题思路] 第二段主要介绍航空公司对乘客所携带行李的限制条件。有的航空公司行李的重量限制在44英镑，有的航空公司没有这种限制，但是你携带的行李不能超过两件，因此乘飞机前应该先确认一下关于行李的规定，A符合题意。 第8题 The charge for the excess luggage should be paid by ______. A CIDA B the passenger C the insurance company D the executing agency 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 细节题 [解题思路] 文中第二段第三句“However，you must pay extra for excess luggage．．．”(然而，你必须为多出规定的行李付出额外费用)，因此答案是B乘客自己。 第9题 In case you have no idea at all where to send your luggage, you can send it to the address of ______. A the institution you are to attend B the airline you travel with C the Canadian International Development Agency D the executive agency given in the Training Agreement 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [试题类型] 细节题   [解题思路] 从文章最后一段最后一句“If none of these details are available，you can use CIDA’s ad- dress．”(如果这些细节都没有的话，你可以用CIDA的地址。)可得出答案。 第10题 The passage is mainly about CIDA' s advice on ______.
