For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSW
44、ER SHEET with a single line through the center.1 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题要注意比较级的一种句型:倍数词+asas。这里倍数词 twice必须置于 asas 之前。2 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题属于语法中否定词位于句首,需要将句子的助动词和主语位置颠倒的倒装句型考点。“Scarcely“属于否定词,所以应该选倒装句型结构 A。这类句型的意义在于在句子的语气上起强调否定作用。B 和 D 项不是倒装句型;C 项的正确倒装句型应该是“did I see” 。3 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题空格处是说科学有着非常强的影响力。D 项
45、“impact 影响“ 符合题意,如:a speech that lacked impact(毫无影响力的演说)。其他三项中,A 项motivation 意为“ 动机“, B 项 perspective 意为“前景“,C 项 impression 意为“印象“,都与题意不符。因此 D 项为正确答案。4 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题空格处是说男性对啤酒的消费量远远大于女性对啤酒的消费量。此处考查的是定语从句,重点区分关系代词。A 项为正确答案。5 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 要想取得好成绩,就得努力学习。句中缺主语,前半句是 in order to get a high score,这部
46、分句子的逻辑主语必须与主句主语保持一致。因此,只有选择选项 B,用人做主语。6 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 in case“ 以防,万一“,符合句意。“ 然而,不过“;“ 尽管“;“目的是,以便能“。A、B、D 项均不合句子逻辑。7 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 当句首状语是表示地点、处所的介词短语时,要引起全部倒装。D选项的错误在于其单词后没有加 s。8 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 此句空白处需填入一个从属连词,而且从句是表示地点的状语从句。9 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 sometime 是一个词,中间不能分开,意思为 “(今后)某一天”;sometimes 也是一个词,中间不能分开
47、,意思为“有时”。 10 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 句意为:我们需要一个更有能力的、还有着坚强的意志和幽默感的领导。从根本上来讲本题考查的是句子结构。首先本题的句子结构完整,因此逗号后应该是一个修饰语成分,且逗号后面的结构没有谓语动词,证明不应该是一个定语从句,故引导定语从句的关系代词都是错误的,因此本题选 C。one(代词)做leader 的同位语。二、Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages, each followed by five questions or unfin

49、e clutching at one anothershands for reassurance),即说明他们缺乏自信。13 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 文中最后明确指出:Find yourself Be yourselfThats the only kind of popularitythat really counts14 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 第 3 段第 3 句(Theses days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what ateenager should have and be)即说明广告宣传对于青少年的巨大影响性。15 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 最后一段中 find yourself 即为 find ones real self
