2.(2010·宁波市高一第二学期期末)On the first anniversary of Lu Xun's death, October 19,1937, Mao Zedong himself gave________speech in________memory of Lu Xun.

答案:A 句意:人们普遍认为,婴儿之所以学会做事是因为某些行为会得到奖赏。reward特指因为做出了牺牲或做了好事后得到的报偿。prize是指竞赛、竞争或抽彩中获胜者所得到的“奖赏”或“奖品”,可以引申为:为之奋斗或争夺的目标。award 是指因为竞赛获胜、工作成绩卓著而获得的“奖赏”、“奖品”或“荣誉称号”。
4.(2010·江西省吉安市高一下期末教学质评)The letter Mary had looked forward to________her last night and she was very excited.
A.reached B.reaching
C.had reached D.has reached
答案:A 考查句子的解读。句意:玛丽一直期盼的信昨天晚上来了,她非常高兴。Mary had looked forward to是定语从句部分,Mary前省略了定语从句的引导词that,因此句子的主干部分是The letter________her last night,也就是说所填空应该填谓语动词,再由时间状语last night可知,用一般过去时。该题极易误选B项。
5.(2010·浙江省杭州地区七校高一下学期期中联考)Please don't do anything harmful________our nature, or we humans will have no________each other.
A.to; fun about

A.am B.were
C.would D.should be
答案:B 句意:当我在法国读书的时候,招待我住的那一家人对待我就好像我是他们家庭的一员。as though引导方式状语从句,要用虚拟语气,从句动作与主句动作同时进行,所以从句的动词要用were。
7.In the past the respect for teachers was driven by the belief ________they were reliable sources of knowledge.
A.what B.that
C.why D.whether
答案:B 句意:在过去,人们认为老师是可靠的知识来源,受到这种信念的驱使,他们对老师非常尊重。belief后面常接同位语从句,对它的内容进行解释。
8.My daughter seemed________in the livingroom when we were chopping up the mushrooms.
A.to make herself up
B.making herself up
C.that she was dressed
D.to be dressping up
答案:D 句意:当我们在切蘑菇的时候,我女儿似乎正在起居室内打扮。make up可改为to be making herself up表示“正在化妆”。
9.The general ________all the soldiers before him, telling them to get ready for the fight.
A.collected B.gathered
C.selected D.elected
答案:B 本题考查动词辨析。collect“收集”;gather“使聚集”;select“选择”;elect“选举”。根据句意,此处应表示“聚集”的意思。故答案为B。
10.—I'm going skating with my father on the East Lake this weekend.
—________!
A.Good idea B.That's all right
C.Take care D.Have fun
答案:D 句意是“这个周末我准备与父亲去东湖滑冰。”“祝你玩得开心!”此句要用have fun向对方表示祝愿。

Ⅵ.阅读理解
阅读下面的文章,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement(毕业典礼)day. Students plan Homecoming Day many weeks in_advance.
Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths (售货棚)and sell lemonade(柠檬汽水), apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day alumni and their wives will gather at the school. They like to look for teachers that they remember. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote(选举)a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.
Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A.Homecoming Day is the most important event of the year in high schools and colleges.
B.Students begin to arrange everything for Homecoming many weeks before the day.
C.The student who is liked most by the others can probably become Homecoming Queen or King.
D.Lemonade, apples and sandwiches are sold to the guests on Homecoming Day.
答案:A 辨别正误题。A项显然与首段第三句不一致,原文中有“except graduation or commencement day”,即毕业典礼最重要。其他选项文中都有依据。
2.The underlined phrase“in advance”means“________”.
A.just on time B.just in need
C.in front of D.before hand
答案:D 词义理解题。 in advance比较常用,根据上下文,此处指提前筹备返校节的活动,而且advance的本义为“前进”,因此选定D项,意为“提前”。in advance如果指方位,就相当于C项解释,如:She walked 2 yards in advance of her husband.
3.Which of the following is NOT done on Homecoming?
A.To see old friends.
B.To call on teachers they remember.
C.To watch the football game.
D.To organize clubs.
答案:D 细节理解题。A、B、C各选项在文中都有叙述,而D项没人提及,只是在第三段提到学校俱乐部组织活动的情况。
4.The underlined word“alumni”refers to“________”.
A.male former students of a school or college
B.female former students of a school or college
C.grandfathers of the students in a school or college
D.grandmothers of the students in a school or college
答案:A 词义理解题。解题关键是后面的“their wives”,根据常识回母校的应该是校友,而带着妻子的肯定是丈夫,因此认定A项解释正确。alumni是alumnus的复数,意为“男校友”或“男毕业生”,注意“女校友”为“alumna/alumnae”,这一点有点像waiter/waitress和host/hostess等,男女有别。下载本文
