6、惯于做 ,glance 和 she是被动关系，用being glanced 【小题 2】考查名词性物 主代词：这些狗并不是她的： hers 【小题 3】考查形容词的最高级：最忙的时间是在春节： busiest 【小题 4】考查连词：很多人去家乡聚会或是去旅游： or 【小题 5】考查冠词： make a decent salary挣一份体面的薪水。 【小题 6】考查名词： give sb encouragement给某人鼓励 【小题 7】考查非限制性定语从句，照顾它们很忙这意味着我没有时间玩。用which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的句子。 【小题 8】考查形容词：因为照顾它们不能出去吃饭，
7、真是很恼火： annoyed 【小题 9】考查词组 ;adapt to适应 【小题 10】考查词组： refer to指的是：用现在进行时 is referring 考点：考查短文填空 点评：短文填空首先通读全文，在审查句子中所缺内容，考查考生在上下文中运用语法的能力，要特别注意单复数和时态。也要结合上下文进行推理，还有一些固定搭配。 单项选择 * The robot Tony was said already in Larrys house before he returned. A to test out B to have been tested out C to be tested o
8、ut D to be testing out 答案： B 试题分析：考查句型： sb/sth is said to do/to have done,如果是将要做，用不定式一般式 to do如果是已经做了，用不定式的完成式，句意：据说机器人 Tony在回来前已经在 Larry的家里做过实验。 Tony和 test out是被动关系，用不定式完成式的被动。选 C。 考点：考查固定句型 点评：固定句型是学习语言的重要环节。 sb/sth is said to do/to have done,可以转化成 It is said that句型，解答这类题目，关键是理解题干意思从而判断是动词不定式的什么形式
9、，根据意思放入句子中进行比较，不难选出正确答案：。 I intend to buy this kind of pen because I the pen well. A have told, writes B have been told, writes C was told, wrote D have been told, is written 答案： B 试题分析：考查时态语态：句意：我打算买这种钢笔，因为有人告诉我这种笔好写。可知第一空是用现在完成时的被动，表示现在已经被告知，第二空用writes用主动表被动，表示这个钢笔的属性和特点。选 B。 考点：考查时态 点评：时态和语态是高考中的
10、常见考试内容。做该类题目时，注意好以下两方面：一是时间状语，不同的时态常有一些相应的标志性的时间状语。二是注意主从句中提供的谓语动词给出的暗示，即确定整体时态是现在时态，过去时态还是将来时态。这道题还有个关键是主动表示被动的用法。 twice a year, whether it is a car or a bus or a truck, is the rule that every driver must obey in this city. A Examining B Examined C Being examined D Having been examined 答案： C 试题分析：考
11、查动名词做句子的主语。句意：无论是汽车，公交车还是卡车，两年被检查一次是这个城市里所以的司机都要遵守的规则。本题中的 being examined是一个动名词的被动形式做句子的主语。故 D项正 确。 考点：考查动名词做句子的主语 点评：动名词做句子的主语表示的是经常性习惯性的行为，要区别与不定式做主语，不定式做主语表示的是具体的一次性的行为。这题不仅要考虑动名词做主语还要注意用动名词的被动式。 -Are you a teacher -No, but I _. A used to B used to being C used to be D was used to 答案： C 试题分析：考查不定
12、式的省略：意思是 “ 你是老师吗？ 不是，但我曾经是老师。 ” used to be 是 “过去曾经是 ”的意思， be used to 是 “习惯于 ；被用于 ” 的意思。作固定搭配，不可省略 be. 问句有助动词或 be动词时 回答要与前面保持一致 若有动词则省略 used to 后面的动词以避免重复，如果是 be动词则不可省略 be动词。选 C。 考点：考查不定式的省略 点评：不定式的省略通常都只保留不定式符号 to,把后面的内容都省略。只有在不定式符号 to后面接 be或者 have的时候，保留 be和 have.这道题还考查 used to do和 be used to do的区别，
13、也是考查重点。 Before he went abroad， he spent as much time as he _ English. A could learning B learned C to learn D could learn 答案： A 试题分析：考查固定句式：这题用到两个固定句式： as much as sb can/could do尽可能做： spent sometime doing sth花时间做 , 其次分析结构 he spent time learning English为主干， as much as he could 做插入部分，加起来 Before he wen
14、t abroad, he spent as much time as he could learning English 选 A. 考点：考查固定搭配 点评：固定短语的考查是高考中的重点内容，在高中的学习中平时要多积累固定搭配的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的。学生可以将常考的全部积累在一起，通过反复的复习，从而达到永久的记忆下来。这题容易错选成 D，要知道 could后面的 do被省略了。 As time went by, the plan he stuck _ fairly practical. A to proved
15、B to proving C proved D to be proved 答案： A 试题分析：考查词组和 prove的用法：句意：随着时间的推移，他一向坚持的计划被证实相当实用。 Stick to坚持， the plan意思上是 stuck to 的宾语，即stuck to the plan。 He stuck to 作 the plan 的定语从句，表示一向坚持的计划，prove在这里是 证明是 ;结果是 ;事实说明 的意思 ,用作连系动词 ,主动表被动，选A。 考点：考查词组和 prove的用法 点评： prove可用于以下句型 : 1.prove+形容词 ，如 The handbook
16、 proved useful.这本手册证明很有用 . 2.prove+名词 ，如 She proved a very strict teacher.结果证明她是一位非常严格的老师 . 3.prove+介词短语或副词 ，如 Perhaps this book will prove of some use to you in your studies.也许这本书会对你的研究有用处 . 4.prove+动词不定式， The detective,_ to be reading a newspaper, glanced at the man_ next to a woman. A pretending,
17、 seated B pretended, seated C pretending, seat D pretended, seating 答案： A 试题分析：这题考查非谓语动词，第一空填现在分词做定语，因为 The detective和 pretend之间是主动关系，第二空填过去分词作定语，因为 the man和 seat之间是被动关系，句意是：假装在读报纸的侦探瞥了一下坐在妇女旁边的男子。选 D。 考点：考查分词做定语 点评：当分词做定语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与名词构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做定语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词做定语。单独的一个分词做定语要放在名词的前面，分词短语做
18、定语要放在分词的后面。 The student, in Jinshan Middle School for 3 years, was admitted into Qinghua University. A to study B studying C to have studied D having studied 答案： D 试题分析：考查过去分词做状语，句意：在金山中学学习了 3年后，这些学生被清华录取了。 Having studied in Jinshan Middle School for 3 years相当于 After they studied in Jinshan Middle S
19、chool for 3 years，是个时间状语，因为是 在金山中学学习了 3年，然后才被清华录取。用现在分词的完成式。选 D。 考点：考查分词用法 点评：当分词做状语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与句子的逻辑主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做状语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词。最主要是分清二者的关系。 At last the newly-married couple declared _. A to divorce B being divorced C that they would divorce D divorced 答案： C 试题分析：考查 declare的用法： declare可以
20、的搭配是： declare that clause ，declare to be, 符合的只有 C项，句意：最后新婚夫妇宣布他们要离婚。选 C。 考点：考查固定搭配 点评：固定搭配是学习语言的重要环节。要掌握好英语 ,记忆相当数量的词组是必不可少的。英语中的每一个词组 ,不仅表达一定的概念 ,具有一定的词汇意义 ,而且在语音、拼法、语法等方面都有自己的特点。在学生学习英语的过程中，单词、词组记忆是基础。解答这类题目，关键是理解题干意思以及各选项词组的意思，可以像数学中的代入法一样，依次把 各个选项意思放入句子中进行比较，不难选出正确答案：。 Its said that in that area
21、 there is more land than the government knows _. A it what to do with B what to do it with C what to do with it D to do what with it 答案： C 试题分析：考查疑问词 +不定式的用法：首先这句话的意思是：据说这个地区的土地多得政府都不知道作何用途。 “what to do是 know 的宾语从句 “with it” 是个方式状语，修饰动词 do， it代指 land 最后， what 做 do的宾语 ,what是名词性的， how是副词性的，不能做宾语 。选C。
22、考点：考查疑问词 +不定式的用法 点评：这句话结构比较复杂，不但含有 It is said that 和 there be句型，还有省略成分， It is said that in that area there is more land than （ land which the government knows what to do with it.此外， than 后面的是介词 than的宾语从句， how一般和deal with搭配。 完型填空 I heard the bees long before I saw them.

The U.S. Geological Survey conducts and supports research on the likelihood of future earthquakes. Scientists estimate earth
35、quake probabilities in two ways: by studying the history of large earthquakes in a special area and the rate at which strain（拉力）accumulates（积累） in the rock. Scientists study the past frequency of large earthquakes in order to determine the future likelihood of similar large shocks. For example scien
36、tists researched the large earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay region during the 75 years between 1836 and 1911. For the next 68 years, no earthquakes of magnitude (震级 ) 6 or large occurred in the region. Beginning with a magnitude 6 shock in 1979, the earthquakes in the region increased dramatical
37、ly; between 1979 and 1989, there were four magnitude 6 or greater earthquakes, including a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. So scientists estimated that the probability of a magnitude 6.8 or larger earthquake occurring during the next 30 years in the region is about 67 percent. Another way to predict earth
38、quakes is to study how fast strain accumulates. When plate movements build the strain in rocks to a critical level, like pulling a rubber band too tight, the rocks will suddenly break and slip to a new position. Scientists measure how much strain accumulates along a fault (断层 ) each year, how much t

This information is used to calculate the time required for the accumulating strain to build to the level that results in an earthquake. This simple model is so complicated that such detailed informati
