解析 答句前句句意：——你应该去我去的那家理发店尝试一下。where引导定语从句，在定语从句中作状语，并替代先行词the barber's(理发店)。其余选项不能在定语从句中作地点状语。
2．There is little doubt ________ you will be able to judge truth and error if you have confidence in yourself.
A．that B．who C．when D．if
答案 A
解析 doubt用作名词时，在肯定句中，其后从句常用whether引导；在否定句和疑问句中使用that引导从句。此处that无意义，也不作成分，只起连接作用。
3．He was deep in thought with his eyes ________ on the ceiling.
A．fixed B．fixing
C．fix D．to be fixing
答案 A
解析 考查with的复合结构。fix one's eyes on眼睛盯着……看，由于该结构中的eyes与动词fix之间是被动关系，故用过去分词fixed作补足语。
4．________，the students remain optimistic and try hard to achieve their goals.
A．As they are faced with fierce pressure
B．As fierce pressure that they are faced with
C．Fierce as they are faced with pressure
D．Faced with fierce pressure as they are
答案 D
解析 考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然面临着巨大的压力，学生们还是保持乐观态度，努力学习实现其目标。as引导的让步状语从句要用倒装结构：表语＋as＋主语＋谓语，故选D。
5．In America，a friend inviting you to a restaurant doesn't mean that he or she will pay for the meal________you are told in advance.
A．if B．unless C．although D．until
答案 B
解析 考查状语从句。句意：在美国，朋友请你到饭馆吃饭并不意味着他会付账，除非他提前告诉你。表示“除非”用unless，引导条件状语从句。
6．Generally speaking, ________ according to the directions, the drug has no side effect.
A．when taking B．when taken
C．when to taken D．when to be taken
答案 B
解析 考查省略句式。句意：一般说来，按照说明书来服用，这药没有副作用。when taken是when it is taken的省略表达。
7．When a pencil is partly in a glass of water，it looks as if it ________．
A．breaks B．has broken
C．were broken D．had been broken
答案 C
解析 考查虚拟语气。根据句子中的时态和句意可知是对现在情况的假设，故选C项。
8．—The drought situation has been severe these days.
—If it had rained even a drop，things would be much better now and many crops________．

A．wouldn't die B．would die
C．wouldn't have died D．would have died
答案 C
解析 考查虚拟语气。答句句意：如果哪怕下了一滴雨，情况就会好得多了，许多庄稼都不会死掉了。表示与过去事实相反的假设，从句用过去完成时，主句用would/should have done，故选C。
9．The Diaoyu Islands have a long history as part of China's territory，________the country since ancient times.
A．belonged to B．belong to
C．belongs to D．belonging to
答案 D
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意：钓鱼岛历史上一直是中国的领土，古时候起就归属于中国。belong to为不及物动词，此处应该用非谓语动词作状语，相当于and they belong to。
10．Thousands of people ________ to watch yesterday's match against Ireland.
A．turned on B．turned in
C．turned around D．turned out
答案 D
解析 考查动词短语辨析。句意：数以万计的人出来观看昨天与爱尔兰的比赛。turn out“出席(某场活动)，在场”；turn on“打开”；turn in“上交”；turn around“转过身去”。由句意可知D正确。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
Under the cold clear water of Lake Huron, researchers have found a five－and－a－half－foot－long piece of wood that is 8，900 years old.The wood, which is tapered (使成锥形) on one side in a way that looks deliberate, may provide important clues to a mysterious period in North American prehistory.
“This was the stage when humans gradually shifted from hunting large animals to fishing, gathering and agriculture，” said anthropologist John O'shea.“But because most of the places in this area that prehistoric people lived in are now under water, we don't have good evidence of this important shift itself.We just have clues from before and after the change.”
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), O'shea and his colleague Guy Meadows began exploring the area several years ago.In 2009 they reported finding a series of stone features that they believe were “drive lanes” used by ancient Indian hunters.
Since that discovery, O'shea and Meadows have worked on identifying human campsites, which are typically located away from hunting areas.On their 25－foot boat, the researchers first spotted the ancient wood object using a small piece of equipment with a camera.Then a team of divers－including O'shea－went down about 100 feet to get it.
The wood's age has now been fixed by means of carbon dating.It is currently undergoing more detailed analyses to determine whether there has been human modification, which visual examination suggests.“The first thing you notice is that it appears to have been shaped with a rounded base and a pointed tip，” O'shea said.“It must have been created.It looks like it might have been used as a tent pole or a pole to hang meat.”
In addition to the wood, the researchers have collected many other samples from the bottom of the lake.O'shea and his colleagues will need to wait for calmer weather before they can resume
