笔试部分(共七大题,计120分)
I.选择填空(Vocabulary and structure)
(共20小题,计20分)
A)从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
选择填空题的考查内容主要包括词语、语法、惯用法与口语交流四个方面。解题时要注意从题干的整体意思和整体结构去把握,不能割裂整体只看部分。一般说来,题干若给出两句话或交流的上下句,两句话对答案的选择都有影响,必须全面予以考虑。
1.—What do you think of my composition?
—Your composition is very well written________a
few spelling mistakes.
A.besides B.except
C.except that D.except for
besides与except在意义上不同:besides是包括此项在内,而except表示此项情况不同。except表示个体与集体的关系,except for表示部分与整体的关系,而except that后面跟从句。本句中a few spelling mistakes与Your composition之间是部分与整体的关系,所以应选D。
2.Come on, John, the football match has begun. It
isn't a recorded show; it is________.
A.live B.living C.alive D.lived
从句法结构推断,所填部分应是表示the football match属性的形容词,D项不可选。living表示“有生命力的”,alive与“死的”相对,live可表示“活体的”、“实况的”,根据提示词语the football match与not a recorded show可知应选A。
3.Don't waste time playing after school.You'll fail in
the final exam________you work hard at your
lessons.
A.if B.when C.as D.unless
fail是在不work hard的情况下才会发生的结果,应选unless(除非)。
4.I can't believe it! The high building,________was
built only last year,is under repair now.
A.that B.where C.which D.it
根据句法结构,逗号之间的部分应是对high building进行补充说明的非限制性定语从句。作非限制性定语从句的主语的关系代词只能是which。
5.If you have got________temperature without
coughing, perhaps you have caught cold. Just stay
in________bed. Don't think that you've got SARS.
A. the; the; / B.a; a; /
C. a; the; the D.a; a; the
have got a temperature(发烧),have a cold(感冒)与in bed(卧床)都是固定习语。
6.In this school,the ________are getting on very well
with the________.
A.boy students; woman teachers
B.boy students; women teacher
C.boy students; women teachers
D.boys students; women teachers
一般说来,作定语的名词不用复数形式,所以“男生”要说boy students,但man与women例外,复数名词前要用men或women,故选C。
7.________Father________Mother will help me wash my
clothes.I have to rely on myself,for________of them
are busy.
A.Not only;but also;all B.Neither;nor;both
C.Either;or;none D.Both;and;neither
从后一句的两个分句都可以看出,第一句话应是否定的意思,所以应用neither...nor。而第二句话表示肯定意义,指代两者的代词应用both。
8.I can hardly believe my eyes.In the past ten years,
GREat changes________in our small town.
A.were taken place B.took the place
C.had taken the place D.have taken place
in the past... years这一短语表示“迄今为止”的时间概念,与现在完成时态连用。表示“发生”的happen,take place与occur都用作不及物动词,没有被动语态,因此应选D。
9.—Here we are.The train leaves in twenty minutes.
—We________.
A.needn't have been in such a hurry
B.couldn't take the taxi
C.shouldn't run here all the way
D.don't have to rush here
通过第一个人的两句话可知“人到车站,但车却要20分钟后才开”,所以第二个人是在抱怨刚才(即过去)所做的事情是“不必要的”。对已发生的事情的抱怨应用“情态动词+ have + 过去分词”,故应选A。
10.If the rain continues,our fields will be flooded.
________terrible weather we've been having these
days!
A.What a B.What C.How a D.How
此感叹句的感叹部分是以weather为中心的名词短语,所以强调词应用what。weather作不可数名词,前不用加a。
11. —What about going to the beach for our summer
holidays?
—________.
—Would you like to travel by plane or
by train?
—We'd better go by train.Then we can
enjoy the scenery.
A.That's a GREat idea
B.I've been busy writing a novel
C.The long distance railway trip makes me sick
D.I have no free time for that
根据后续的谈话,说明第二个人是赞同第一个人的提议的,所以应选A。
12.—I'm sorry.I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
—Never mind.________.
A.It doesn't really matter
B.I didn't understand you
C.I cannot forgive you any more
D.I have no time to go to the hospital
12.hurt one's feelings(伤害某人感情)是不必去医院的。Never mind意思类似于Don't worry,其后与其口吻一致的应是A。
13.—I like listening to music when I have free time.
—________ .I enjoy listening to light music very much.
A.So do I B.Nor am I
C.Neither do I D.So am I
根据第二个人的表述,所选部分应是“我也一样”。所用的助动词应是上一句变为问句时所用的助动词,故应选A。
14.That man is hopeless,because he can't separate the
sheep from the goats.
The underlined phrase means “________”.
A.he doesn't know how to feed animals
B.he can't count yet
C.he has never been a farmer
D.he can't tell a good person from a bad one
首先,主句部分已对此人作出了评价,而can't separate...from表示“不能区分”,所以合适的意思应是D。
15.She expected me to rush over and help her at the
drop of a hat,but I stood still.
The underlined phrase means “________”.
A.by herself B.at once
C.at times D.after a while
根据rush over(跑过去)与stand still(站着不动)两个对比的提示,及the drop of a hat(帽子掉落)这一形象化的说法,可知适合的意思应是B。

of the Net, offering users a large number of
advantages over common shopping.
A.slowest B.worst C.fastest D.hardest
17.Customers have a wider range(范围)of goods to

and wait for delivery, which may only take a few
________.
A.days B.seasons
C.weeks D.months
通读全文可知,此篇谈论的是网上购物的优越性,所以一切都应从积极的意义上去考虑。因此,第16小题应选C。17小题通过后面的提示应是网上购物“无parking(停车)问题”。18小题说明网上购物的简便,选B项较合适。19小题通过提示词buy与现在完成时态,可知事前应先order(订购)。20小题介绍网上购物的快捷,应选A。
