Ⅰ.单项填空
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1.—Do you mind my drawing the curtains apart to let some sunlight in?
—No.________
A.Go ahead. B.Not really.
C.Who cares?
解析:考查情景交际。根据对话提供的情景,上句“——你介意我拉开窗帘让阳光进来吗?”,下句“——不介意。________”,可知空格处表达的意思是“拉开吧”,即允许对方做某事,故选A。Go ahead.继续;说吧;干吧;问吧;Not really.不全是;Who cares?谁在意?What for?为什么?
答案:A
2.—The girl is said to have ________ gift for teaching deaf children.
—She is something.I think it calls for ________ patience and imagination.
A.a;the
C.the;the
解析:考查冠词。第一空后gift为单数可数名词,故用不定冠词a;第二个空后patience和imagination为抽象名词,故用零冠词。
答案:B
3.Ideally ________ within easy reach of many historical sites of the old city,the three-star hotel is a favourite with many tourists.
A.locating
C.located
解析:考查非谓语动词。be located in/on...表示“位于……”,此句中用过去分词作原因状语,表示主语所处的状态。句意:这家三星级的旅馆所处位置非常理想,从这里到这个城市的许多历史遗址去都很便捷,因此它是很多游客喜欢住的地方。
答案:C
4.The headmaster thought highly of our class at the morning assembly ________ everyone worked hard and had team spirit.
A.when
C.which
解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构,先行词是our class,定语从句中缺少地点状语,故用where引导。句意:在早上的集会,校长高度赞扬了我们班,在我们班里每个人都刻苦学习,都有团队精神。
答案:B
5.—Do you regret what you said at the meeting?
—No.But I think I ________ it in a more polite way.
A.must express
C.could express
解析:考查情态动词。根据对话提供的情景,上句“——你后悔在会上说的话吗?”,下句“——不后悔。但我本来能用一种较礼貌的方式表达它。”可知,下句表达的意思是“我当时没能用较有礼貌的方式表达它”,因此用could have done“本来能做,但实际上未做”。must do表示“必须做”;must have done表示“一定做过某事,对过去发生的事情的推测”;could do表示“能做”。
答案:D
6.I was just going to pick up the phone when a thought suddenly came to me ________ it might come from the kidnapper.
A.that
C.what
解析:考查名词性从句的用法。that引导同位语从句,进一步补充说明thought的具体内容。句意:我刚要去接电话,突然我想到这个电话可能是来自绑匪的。
答案:A
7.Do you subscribe to the idea that friends one makes can ________ his personality and character?

答案:B
8.She doesn't care what kind of job the manager will let her do ________ it can support her in continuing her further education next year.

答案:D
9.Only if we keep in touch with others more often ________ our concern,love and friendliness to them.
A.we can show
C.can we show
解析:考查倒装。only与状语从句一起置于句首,句子采用主谓倒装形式。句意为“只有我们经常与他人保持联系,我们才能对他们表现出我们的关注、爱和友谊。”根据句意,故选C。
答案:C

Ⅲ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
I used to know nothing about fairy tales (童话故事).To improve my reading skills,my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand.I didn't even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight.Of course once I found out about books of this type,I would read them as quickly as I could.
Again and again,I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few.Finally,my request was granted (允许).After our return from the library,I started reading them eagerly and energetically,one after another.And I tried to put myself in the female character's shoe.I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue,and then they would live happily ever after.
I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales.Looking straight in my eyes,she told me that life is not like a fairy tale.There are good and bad things that will happen through life.At the end though,there is not a man that will come and “save” us.We do not need saving;we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones;we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us.Life is not about “happily ever after”.
What then is life about mom? Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you,even the annoying things.He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live,laugh and love together.But things are not going to be perfect.You still have to face difficulties together,working hard for your relationship.
