Ⅱ.单项填空
1．Michael put up a picture of Yao Ming beside the bed to keep himself ________ of his own dreams.
A．reminding B．to remind
C．reminded D．remind
答案 C [考查非谓语动词。句意：Michael把姚明的图片张贴在床边是为了提醒自己要实现自己的梦想。remind sb of sth表示“提醒某人某事”，himself与remind之间是动宾关系， 故用动词的过去分词形式。 ]
2．Armed with the information you have gathered, you can ________ preparing your business plan.
A．set out B．set about
C．set off D．set up
答案 B [考查动词短语辨析。句意：收集到的信息已备好，你可以开始准备你的商业计划了。根据句意可知，此处应用set about表示“着手做……”，其后用动名词形式。set out后接to do sth; set off表示“出发”；set up表示“建立”，均与句意不符，所以选B项。]

A．In a word B．In another word
C．In other words D．In words
答案 C [考查介词短语。句意：他是最后来的人，换句话说，他是最后一个。根据前后句意可知后面的句子是对前面句子的解释，故有“也就是说，换句话说”的意思。]

A．make a promise B．keep your word

After receiving the order，everyone said“yes”and then went home.One of the ministers was preparing to take the milk during the night.__3__Since everyone would bring milk，he would just take a glass of water instead and pour it into the pond.It would be so dark that no one else would discover it.So he quickly went out，poured the water into the pond and came back home，feeling rather satisfied with what he did.__4__But much to their surprise，they saw the pond only filled with clear water！What had happened was that everyone was thinking just like the other person：“I don't have to put milk into the pond，and someone else will do it.”So when it comes to helping poor people，you shouldn't think that others will take care of it.__5__If you don't do it，no one else will do it.Whatever you do，be true to your words，and that will make a big difference.
