Ⅰ.单项填空
1 . Bill Clinton said during his two terms as president America had moved out
of________industrial economy into________information age.
A.an;an B.the;an
C.an;the D./;/
解析:考查冠词。第一个空为特指,用定冠词;第二个空后的中心词 age 为可数名词,
此处为泛指,用不定冠词,又因 information 是以元音因素开头的词,故用 an。
答案:B
2.—Which of these two books will you take?
—I'll take________,in case the journey is boring.
A.either B.both
C.all D.neither
解析:考查代词。从答句后半句 in case the journey is boring 可知,答话人潜在的意思
是“两本书都要”。故选 B。either 两者之中任何一个;all 三者或三者以上全部;而 neither
意为“两者都不”根据语境被排除。
答案:B
3 . The Roman people originally lived in northwest India in________ is now southeast
Pakistan.
A.what B.which
C.that D.where
解析:考查宾语从句的引导词。解此题的关键是:介词 in 后缺宾语且宾语从句中缺主
语。
答案:A
4.Do you think that bridge________2,000 meters long? It doesn't appear________ long.
A.measures; that B.is measured; so
C.is measured; such D.measures; much
解析:考查词义辨析。第一个空处考查 measure 的用法,在此为不及物动词,空后的
2,000 meters long 不是宾语,而是状语。measure (指尺寸、长短等)量度为/有……大、长,
由此排除 B、C 两项(不及物动词没有被动语态);第二空处考查的四个副词中表示程度的 that
=so;much 表示非具体的程度,不能和具体数字连用;such 为形容词,不能用来修饰形容
词。故选 A。
答案:A
5.________the poor living conditions, new graduates continue to gather in the suburban
villages in Beijing because of low rents and easy transport.
A.Except B.Despite
C.Instead of D.As well as
解析:句意:尽管居住条件不好,但因为低廉的房租和便利的交通,新毕业的大学生继
续聚居在北京郊区的村庄里。despite=in spite of“不管,尽管”,符合句意。except 除……
外;instead of(用……)代替……,(是……)而不是……,(用……)而不用……;as well as 也,
又,不但……而且,和……一样。
答案:B
6.________on the top of the hill is a monument,dating back to hundreds of years ago.
A.Having stood B.Standing
C.Being stood D.Having been stood
解析:考查倒装。主干还原成正常语序为:A monument is________on the top of the hill...
强调的是目前所处的一种状态,应用现在进行时;进行时态的句子构成倒装时,要把现在分
词提到句首。故选 B。如:Hanging on the wall is a picture of Edison.
答案:B
7.She looks forward every spring to________the garden, where flowers line almost every
lane.
A.walk in B.walking
C.pay a visit to D.visiting
解析:考查固定搭配和词语辨析。look forward to 中的 to 为介词,其后只能跟名词或
动名词,故首先排除 A、C 两项;walk 为不及物动词,其后不能直接跟宾语,故排除。
答案:D
8.—Do you think it is going to rain over the weekend?
—________. We're planning to go on a picnic.
A.I think so B.I believe not
C.I don't think so D.I hope not
解析:考查情景交际。从答句后句“我们打算去野餐”可知,答话人“不希望周末下
雨”,故选 D。另外需注意,hope,guess 和 be afraid 表否定意思时只能在其后加 not。
答案:D
9.The girl has no________ at all. She is still trying to please her boyfriend ,even though he
is so cold.
A.character B.reputation
C.dignity D.figure
解析:句意:这个女孩子没有一点自尊。即使男友对她很冷淡,她依然尽力取悦他。由
语境和逻辑可以判断,此处应为“尊严”,故选 dignity (尊严,自尊)。character 品质,特
性,特色,性格;reputation 名气,名声,名誉;figure 身材,体态,风姿。
答案:C
10.The new airport is built close to the freeway, and it is________by Bus No. 2.
A.accessible B.available
C.alternative D.abundant
解析:句意:新建的机场临近高速公路,2 路公交车可通达机场。accessible “可接近的,
可进入的,可通的,可达的”符合语境。available 可利用的,可得到的;alternative 两者择
一的,供替代的;abundant 大量的,充足的。
答案:A

contrast(对比) to my everyday experiences.
