5、ouldnt have beenA 考查情态动词。句意:房间乱极了,不可能打扫过。句子前半部分“房间乱极了”是前提,后半部分是对这种情况作出的一种猜测性判断,且带否定意味,应用否定形式cant have done,表示不可能做过某事。shouldnt have done意为“本不应该做,而实际上已经做了” ,与句意不符。9.That was so serious a matter that I had no choice but the police.A.called inB.calling inC.call inD.to call inD 考查“but+动词不定式”结构。句意:那件事如此严重
6、,除了请警察,我别无选择。这种结构一般有两种模式:have no choice but+带 to不定式;have nothing to do but+不带 to不定式。10.Its already 5 oclock now.Dont you think its about time ?A.we are going homeB.we go homeC.we went homeD.we can go homeC 考查 it is time(that)从句的用法。句意:现在已经 5点钟了,你不认为我们该回家了吗? 在这一句型中,从句中的动词需要用过去时,故 C项正确。11.I havent deci

8、时态,所以 B、D 两项错误。A 项和 C项的区别在于不定式的时态,句首表示时间概念的 ancient表明不定式动作在句子谓语动作之前发生,不定式须用完成式,故 C项正确。13.It is kind you to do me a favor at this moment.A.toB.forC.ofD.aboutC 考查固定句型。句意:谢谢你在这个时候来帮我。It is + adj.+ of/for sb.to do sth.是固定句型。of 前接与人的赞美或批评有关的形容词,for 前接与事物有关的形容词。14.Lets think of a situation this idiom can

11、词义辨析。句意:由于出身卑微,弗尔德先生从未想过他会成为董事会的一员。humble 卑微的;previous 先前的,以前的;critical 批评的;false 错误的。18.If the whole operation beforehand, a great deal of time and money would have been lost.A.was not plannedB.has not been plannedC.had not been plannedD.were not plannedC 考查虚拟语气。句意:如果事先没有计划好整个运作,大量的时间和金钱将会流失。由 woul
12、d have been lost可知此处表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,从句中应使用“had+过去分词”形式。19.Staying in a hotel costs renting a room in a dormitory for a week.A.twice moreB.twice as much asC.as much twice asD.as much as twiceB 考查倍数的表达方式。句意:住旅馆一周的费用相当于租宿舍的两倍。表示倍数时,可用“倍数+as+形容词原级+as”结构。20.You cannot be careful when you drive a car.A.ver

24、ter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe dog has always been considered mans best friend. Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range(放牧区), and beside the hunter in forest. He is easy to train, wo
25、rks hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power, before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and be
26、lieved to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hounds sensibility to peoples feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is
27、 outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.The dogs major contribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless demonstrations and
28、experiments. Open heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases.36.The dog has always been noted for .A.protecting childrenB.assisting shepherdsC.helping hunters

31、ge TwoThe strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each others emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts
32、 as brake on twins intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an u
33、nderprivileged family, a one parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the
34、 problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.40.Many people dont know that .A.twins understand each other very wellB.twins are slow to learn to talkC.twins are unlikely to do less well

37、 be separatedC.can not be solved unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environmentD.can be solved if the adults communicate with them more oftenC 事实细节题。文章最后一句的意思是,解决双胞胎智力发展问题的唯一方法是将双胞胎分开培养和教育。故 C项符合题意。43.The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT .A.twins can help each oth
38、erB.twins share each others emotionC.twins are able to understand each other in a private languageD.twins communicate less with their parentsA 事实细节题。作者在文中提到了双胞胎可以拥有相同的情感,互相理解,与他人交流较少,而没有提及双胞胎之间可以互相帮助。故选 A。Passage ThreeHave you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)?

In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wr
40、ong nearly half the time. Heres some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1)Dont trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh” to be polite or move the conversation along. But its easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2)Train the editor(编辑) in

Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message.
42、Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.” Questions like “How does that sound?” or “Does that make sense?” may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure youre on the same page. After all, it isnt just the speakers job to make his spe

C.Misunderstanding occurs now and then. D.Its impolite to say NO to others. C 推理判断题。由第一段可知,仅仅因为误解而引起争执的情况时有发生,因而作者才给出了建议。45.The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should .
