13、lyD.extremelyD【答案】句意:早期的机车锅炉炉膛火室位于火车引擎框架之间;由于空间限制,它形态非常狭小。very意为“非常”。customarily意为“通常,习惯上”。appropriately意为“恰当地”。obviously意为“明显的”。extremely意为“极其地”,与原词意思相近。因此答案选D。【解析】17.Concrete is a durable,watertight,and incombustible material that is,moreoverinexpensive to make.A.in additionB.more or lessC.however

18、用,应该使用those指代树叶。【解析】B【答案】句意:昆虫数量是人数量的2亿倍,事实上它们的总数超过了所有其他的动物数量之和。在every之后要接名词单数,因此将humanbeings改为human being.【解析】C【答案】句意:钢琴是一种由键盘控制的护毡木槌敲击琴弦的弦乐器。在被动语态中,动词应该使用其过去分词形式,所以将strike改为其过去分词形式struck。【解析】B【答案】句意:大约有350种和亚种的鸟种濒临灭绝,其中的很大一部分,共有117种,生活在海岛上。of后面应该使用名词、名词性质的短语或名词性物主代词。因此应该将动词become变为它的动名词形式,动名词兼有动词的

20、情。过去完成时助动词had后面必须接动词的过去分词,所以应为completed。【解析】B【答案】句意:她过去常常在回家路上的面包房买一片蜂蜜蛋糕。used to do sth.为固定搭配,表示“过去经常做”。【解析】C【答案】句意:罗伯特总是随心所欲,不顾别人感受。with/withoutregard to为固定搭配,表示“顾及/不顾及”。【解析】B【答案】句意:艾伦尽管没有像他妻子一样受到那么好的教育,但是和她一样有常识。从B处前后句的语义可以看出两句话是转折关系,所以应用连词though或者although。【解析】.Cloze(15%)Rua Quintino Bocaiuva47 a

23、s whyB.On the other handC.Moreover【答案与解析】31.B 此处作者是想说明写信的意图。由于后面直接跟动词,所以用in order to。因此答案选B。32.B 此处前后句是因果关系,需要填入连词引导主句后面的分句。因为后面接的是完整句子,所以排除C。as意为“因为、由于”,语气比because弱,所引导的从句表示的是不言而喻、显而易见的原因和理由,其从句一般放在主句前。for是并列连词,用来附带解释或说明前面一句的情况,有时他它表示的理由是推测性的,它所引导的分句只能放在另一分句后。因此选B。33.A 此处考查时间状语从句的连词的用法。as和while通常用于
24、连接持续性的动作,而when后面可以跟某个时间点或者时间段。句中的谓语动词was不是续性的动作,因此用when连接。因此答案为A。34.C 此处考查非谓语动词。因为动词graduate与主语I是主动关系,同时句中表示过去,所以应该用“having+过去分词”的形式表示过去完成的事情。35.B 此处考查介词的用法。at the beginning是固定搭配,所以选B。36.A 此处是新一句的开头,并且与上一句是转折关系,所以用副词nevertheless连接,意为“尽管如此”。37.B 尽管作者找到了工作,但是只能够负担得起一周两次的语言课程。此处是想说明作者的学习生活比较艰辛,所以根据感情色彩
25、应选B。38.B and后面的句子表示结果。因为作者一周只能上两次课,所以必须尽可能地利用好课堂的资源。so that后表示目的或解释原因,owingto后面表示原因且接名词或名词性短语,因此答案选B。39.A 此处really修饰to my surprise,表示程度。因此答案选A。40.B 此处填副词表示两个事件的时间关系。由于and前后是事件是先后关系,所以用subsequently。因此答案选B。41.B 此处考查表示时间的副词和介词的用法。since后面一般接句子,on后接现在分词表示“马上,立刻”。因此just before最为合适。故答案选B。42.A 作者回到家没多久就找到了教
26、英语的工作。No sooner后面一般与than连用,having后面应接动词过去分词,on后接现在分词表示事情很快发生。因此答案选A。43.C 此处前后句是转折关系,引出后面作者打算退出工作,重新学习的打算。由于是句首,所以应用however。所以答案选C。44.A 应该接动词不定式表目的,所以应用to和maintain构成不定式。所以答案选A。45.A 前一句解释该句中“pursue my growing interest in Englishliterature”的原因,所以用Thats why。.Reading Comprehension(45%)AIn the Arizona des
