Ⅰ.单项填空
1.(2009·四川高考)Newscamefromtheschooloffice________WangLinhadbeenadmittedtoBeijingUniversity.
A.which B.what
C.thatD.where
解析 句意:
从学校办公室传来了消息,说是王琳已被北京大学录取了。
News是主语,“________WangLinhadbeenadmittedtoBeijingUniversity”是News的内容,所以这个同位语从句要用that引导。
答案 C
2.Havingheardtheunfairconditions,theangryman________fromthechair,________hisvoice.
A.raised;raisingB.rose;raising
C.raised;risingD.rose;rising
解析 句意:
听到那不公平的条件,那位生气的人从椅子上站起来,提高了声音大声喊着。
前一空后面没有宾语,故用不及物动词rose。
后一句后面接有宾语,故用及物动词raise的现在分词形式,表伴随状况。
答案 B
3.—HowcanIimprovemyspokenEnglish?
—Isuggestyou________Englishwheneverpossible.

C.willpractisespeakingD.practicingtospeak
解析 句意:
“我怎样才能提高我的口语呢?
”“我建议你,无论什么时候可能的话,要练习说英语。
”此句中suggest后面是宾语从句,要填入的空格处是宾语从句的谓语,用虚拟语气,谓语动词要用should+动词原形或省略should。
practise后面要接动名词作宾语。
答案 A

A.probablyB.possibly
C.perhapsD.likely

A.payB.payoff
C.payforD.payback

6.Weworkedfortenyearswithoutfindinganything,butwedecidedtostickwithit.Nowourpatiencehas________.
A.paidoffB.paidback

A.agreatdealofB.alargeamountof
C.massesofD.agreatmanyof
解析 massesofthings成堆的事,大量的事情。
agreatdealof/alargeamountof接不可数名词;agreatmanyof后接“限制词+复数名词”。
如:
agreatmanyofthestudents。
修饰可数名词复数时用agreatmany。
答案 C
10.Thearticlesuggeststhatwhenaperson________underunusualstressheshouldbeespeciallycarefultohaveawell-balanceddiet.
A.isB.be
C.wereD.was
解析 句意:
这篇文章建议,当一个人处于莫大压力之下时,他尤其要留意使自己的饮食营养均衡。
本题难点在于一般同学只注意到后的从句要用虚拟语气,却忽略了本题虚拟语气已在题干中出现,需填的动词是从句中又套入的时间状语从句的谓语,应当用陈述语气。
答案 A

2.D 细节归纳题。
根据文章第二段的“ThepopulationofDodosrapidlydecreasedandlastonewaskilledin1681”一句可判断Dodo是灭绝的动物之一,再根据最后一段中的“TheBali,Javan,andCaspiantigersarealreadyextinct”一句可得出其他几种。
3.C 细节理解题。
文章的第三段和最后一段提到“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”有很高的药用价值。

从第四段中的“ThefutureoftheWorldWildlifeFund’ssymbolisfarfromcertain.”一句可得出“世界野生动物基金”的图案标记是“大熊猫”,而不是“鲸”。
