Part 2 Elementary exercises for language using
（第二部分 基础知识运用）
Ⅱ.Multiple choice(单项选择)
1.It was a great party,thank you.But Jill,why______you______more friends to come？
A.haven’t；invited B.don’t；invite C.didn’t；invite D.won’t；invite
答案:C 根据句意可知说话人谈论的是过去的事情。
2.—Do you want tea or coffee？
—________.I really don’t mind.
A.Both B.None C.Neither D.Either
答案:D 此题考查几个不定代词的辨析。both 只用于两者,意为“两个都”；none 用于三者
或三者以上,意为“都不”；neither 意为“两者都不”；either 只能表示“（两者中）任何一
个”。根据题意,应该用 D 项。
3.—Why isn’t the recorder ready yet？
—I’m sorry.It ________ in the shop.
A.is being repaired B.is repaired
C.has been repaired D.hasn’t repaired
答案:A 根据语意,应该用现在进行时态的被动语态,表示机器正在修理,还没有修好。
4.Little ________ about his own safety,though he was in great danger himself.
A.does he care B.did he care C.he cares D.he cared
答案:B little 是否定词,以否定词开头的句子要用倒装语序。根据 “though he was in
great danger himself”可知要用一般过去时,所以选 did he care。
5. ________ in work,he forgot to have dinner with his newly-married wife.
A.Burying B.Buried C.To bury D.Bury
答案:B 此题考查非谓语动词的形式。be buried in 在这里表示抽象意义,意思是“专心于”,
为固定搭配,所以要用过去分词,表示原因。
6.________ of the land in that district ________ covered with trees and grass.
A.Two fifth；is B.Two fifth；are
C.Two fifths；is D.Two fifths；are
答案:C 表达分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词。若分子大于 1,则分母要用复数,分数作
主语时,若指代可数名词复数,则谓语动词用复数；若指代不可数名词,则谓语动词用单数。
此处指 land,为不可数名词,所以谓语动词用 is。
7.Is this museum ________ they visited last month？
A.the one B.where C.that D.what
答案:A 首先要弄清句子结构。为了更好地理解,可以先把该句变成陈述语序:This museum
is they visited last month.你会发现,句子中少了表语成分,所以应选 the one。后面的
“they visited last month”是定语从句,修饰 the one,其中的关系代词已被省略。
8.I shall never forget those years ________ I lived in the country with the farmers,
________has a great effect on my life.
A.that；which B.when；which C.which；that D.when；who
答案:B 这是一个含有两个定语从句的句子。第一个定语从句的先行词是 those years,表
示时间,要用关系副词 when；第二个句子是非限制性定语从句,要用关系代词 which,代指“I
shall never forget those years when I lived in the country with the farmers”,
在定语从句中作主语。
9.The mother didn’t know ________ to blame（责备）for the broken glass as it happened
while she was out.
A.who B.when C.how D.what
答案:A know 后接“疑问词+to do”作宾语。blame 是及物动词,who 表示人,作 blame 的
宾语。
10. ________it with me and I’ll see what I can do.
A.When left B.Leaving C.If you leave D.Leave
答案:D 本题考查句子结构。题干中的 and 连接两个并列分句,第一个分句是祈使句,故选 D。
11.Is this the school ________ we visited last time？
A.that B.the one C.the one which D.where
答案:A 此处考查定语从句的用法。学生必须分析清楚 Is this the school 是主句,the
school 是先行词,定语从句的谓语动词 visited 缺少宾语,因此应该选 A。
12.As I was getting better day by day,my friends ________ me to get up and have a
short walk every day.
A.suggested B.hoped C.considered D.advised
答案:D 四个选项中,只有 advise 可以用于“advise sb.to do sth.”句型中,A、B 两项均
无此用法。C 项可用于“consider sb./sth.to be”结构中。所以选 D。
13.The way he thought of ________ the problem failed in the end.
A.to work out B.working out C.work out D.being worked out
答案:A 该句的主要意思是“The way failed in the end”。“he thought of”是定语从句,
修饰 the way,所以不应选 working out,而应用动词不定式 to work out 作定语,修饰 the way。
14.—Do you have ________ at home now,Annie？
—No,I still have to get a pound of meat and some vegetables.
A.anything B.somethingg C.everything D.nothing
答案:C 根据下文的回答,正确答案应是 everything,意思是“你家里东西都齐全了吗？”
15.The advanced worker was the person ________.
A.for him the prize was given B.whom the prize was given for him
C.whose honor the prize was given D.in whose honor the prize was given
答案:D in one’s honor 指“为了庆祝或纪念……”。若把此句改写成以下两个分句就会
看得很清楚:The advanced worker was given the prize.The prize was in his honor.
因此,选项 D 是一个限制性的定语从句。

语,意思是“并不是说从来没有”。

Ⅳ.Reading comprehension(阅读理解)
A
Sad stories are not very nice to read about,but if we think and talk about them,we
may be able to prevent more accidents.
How can fire or hot things be a danger in the house？Matches,of course,are always
dangerous in the hands of young children.A little fire on waste land can easily get
out of control.A wind comes,sparks（火花）are blown on to the roof of a house,and
the whole building may be burnt to the ground before you can even call the fire
brigade.Kerosene（煤油）lamps,too,can be very dangerous.Quite recently there was
a bad accident in a village house.The mosquito-net（蚊帐）over a baby’s bed was
blown against a lamp and caught fire.The bed-clothes and even the clothes of the
baby were burnt before the fire was discovered.
Long grass rubbish round a house can also lead to a big fire,as most people
know.However,not everybody is careful with such things as paper bags and toys；
these burn up in a flash if you hold them near a fire.
Young children often reach up to a table to take a bottle down by its handle.If
the bottle or pot is full of boiling water,you can guess what will
happen.Similarly,when a baby’s bath is prepared,cold water should be put in first.If
any hot water has to be used,this should be put into the bath after the cold water
and not before it.
Many fireworks（烟花）can lead to blindness or other injuries,especially those
which are pushed into bamboo sticks.Wooden spears or swords should be used only by
children with sense enough not to injure other people.
Very young children often have to be watched carefully.They put everything they
find into their mouths to see whether it can be eaten,or sucked!Medicines have to
be put out of their reach.A pill which might be harmless for an adult can sometimes
kill a baby.Older children have to be careful when drinking from a bottle.Some of
them walk about as they drink.Tip up the bottle to get the last drop out,then fall
over something on the ground.If they are unlucky,they fall in such a way that the
broken glass makes a horrible wound in the face or neck.
This is not a complete list of the dangers in and near a house,but it is enough
to remind you to be careful.
1.What is the best explanation（解释）of “A little fire on waste land can easily
get out of control”？
A.Careless smokers can start a sudden fire.
B.No fire brigades will come soon.
C.Dry grass on waste land catches fire easily.
D.Children like to play with fire on waste land.
答案:C 从文章第二段中“A wind comes,sparks（火花）are blown on to the roof of a
house,and the whole building may be burnt to the ground before you can even call
the fire brigade.”可以得出答案。
2.Which of the following is TRUE？
A.Only a few people know that long grass and rubbish round a house can lead to a
big fire.
B.Nearly everybody knows paper bags and toys easily burn up near a flame.
C.Most people are more careful with paper bags and toys than with long grass and
rubbish.
D.Some people may not be very careful about the dangers of paper bags and toys.
答案:D 第三段中的关键句“However,not everybody is careful with such things as paper
bags and toys”可以告诉我们 D 项为正确答案。
3.According to the writer,children___________.
A.are not supposed to use wooden spears or swords
B.mustn’t be allowed to use wooden spears or swords
C.can use wooden spears or swords on condition that they will not injure other people
D.should keep themselves from playing with wooden spears or swords
答案:C 由第五段中最后一句“Wooden spears or swords should be used only by children
with sense enough not to injure other people.”可知答案为 C 项。

C
The Great Hanshin-Awaji（阪神）Earthquake at 5:46 a.m.on January 17,1995,Kobe
（神户）and its surrounding areas suffered a killer earthquake.Only two other events
in this century,the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War Ⅱcaused more deaths
in Japan than this earthquake.The epicenter（震源）was at the northern tip of Awaji
Island.The quake registered（记录）7.2 on the Richter（里氏震级）.The greatest amount
of damage was seen in the Japanese port city of Kobe,and at final count 6348 people
had lost their lives.
The people of the area were quite unprepared for such a big earthquake.Experts
had said that most modern buildings would be quite safe even from an earthquake as
strong as the Great Kanto Earthquake.This was clearly not true.Television cameras
showed the many buildings that had fallen over on its side looking as if it had been
pushed over by a giant（巨人）.
Thousands of people were homeless.However,some of the finest human qualities
were seen in the time of crises （moment of great danger）.People formed long lines
for water and other supplies.They shared what they had with one another.People from
young to old stopped to talk to each other and give a few encouraging words.The people
living in the area knew that their old life had been destroyed.They believe they
can rebuild their life,and a better one.
8.Only two other events caused more deaths in Japan.They are _________.
A.the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake and the Second World War
B.the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War Ⅱ
C.the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995
D.the First World War and the Second World War
答案:B 细节理解题。第一段第二句话表述得十分明确。
9.Which of the following is TRUE？
A.The Hanshin Awaji Earthquake was the greatest in the world history.
B.The earthquake broke out in summer.
C.The center of the earthquake was in the northern end of the port city.
D.More than six thousand people lost their lives in the earthquake.
答案:D 细节理解题。参见第一段最后一句话。
10.The passage seems to suggest that _________.
A.a giant was able to start an earthquake
B.modern buildings were strong enough to be safe from any earthquake
C.less people would have died if they had been prepared for it
D.experts always tell lies
答案:C 推断理解题。第二段中提到“The people of the area were quite unprepared for
such a big earthquake,”因此作者暗示,如果早有准备,伤亡可能会小些。
