Ⅰ.单项填空
1.The Town Hall ________ in the 1880's was the most distinguished building at the time.
A. to be completed B. having been completed
C. completed D. being completed
答案与解析 C completed in the 1880's为过去分词短语作定语修饰the Town Hall,二者之间为被动关系; A项表将来; D项表示动作正在发生,均不合题意; B项不能作限制性的定语。
2.Please remain ________ until the plane has come to a complete stop.
A. to seat B. to be seated
C. seating D. seated
答案与解析 D remain在此用作连系动词,意为“保持某种状态”,后接形容词seated作表语。
3.The managers discussed the plan that they would like to see ________ the next year.
A. carry out B. carrying out
C. carried out D. to carry out
答案与解析 C 在plan后的定语从句中,关系代词that指代plan作see的宾语。空格中的内容为plan的宾语补足语,且由于plan与carry out是被动关系,故用过去分词作宾语补足语。
4.He is very popular among his students as he always tries to make them ________ in his lectures.
A. interested B. interesting
C. interest D. to interest
答案与解析 A make them interested in中的them指代students, 故用interested, 表示“对……感爱好”。
5.You should understand the traffic rule by now. You've had it________ often enough.
A. explaining B. to explain
C. explain D. explained
答案与解析 D 此题考查have sth. done结构。explained作宾语it的补语。
6.________ by the beauty of nature, the girl from London decided to spend another two days on the farm.
A. Attracting B. Attracted
C. To be attracted D. Having attracted
答案与解析 B the girl与attract之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作缘由状语。
7.The flowers his friend gave him will die unless ________ every day.
A. watered B. watering
C. water D. to water
答案与解析 A unless, if, when, though等引导状语从句时,假如主从句的主语全都,并含有be动词时,常把主语和be动词省略。此处应为unless they are watered。因此A项正确。
8.No matter how frequently ________, the works of Beethoven still attract people all over the world.
A. performed B. performing
C. to be performed D. being performed
答案与解析 A perform与句子主语the works of Beethoven为动宾关系,且表示完成,因此用过去分词。
9.________ automatically, the email will be received by all the club members.
A. Mailed out B. Mailing out
C. To be mailed out D. Having mailed out
答案与解析 A 由上下文规律可知, the email与mail out之间为规律上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作时间状语。
10.Things ________ never come again! I couldn't help talking to myself.
A. lost B. losing
C. to lose D. have lost
答案与解析 A 考查过去分词作定语。things与lose之间为规律上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
The first thing to remember about homework is that it needs to be done as soon as you get home from school. Since many parents do not give evening dose (药剂) to help you sleep at night, the homework must be done first. If you have after school activities, the homework should be done as soon as you get home. It is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching breaks. Every kid of you really needs these little breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your responsibility to do your homework. Next time you tend to depend on Mom and Dad for a roadmap, please try to struggle with it first, because it is good for you.
When you have questions, especially something about a science or a math problem, don't always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to struggle with them first and try to work them out. Sometimes, if this doesn't work, look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to pages and understanding everything completely.
At last, while doing homework, don't be looking away but continue working. Setting time limits often helps with this. Different ages decide different fair amounts of time. 10~15 minutes is good for a child that's aged 6~8. A time of 20~30 minutes is all right for a child aged 9~12. Kids can achieve 30~45 minutes intervals of study at age 13~15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to concentrate and stay on task.
1.The passage mainly tells children ________.
A. to do their homework quickly and properly
B. to limit their time of doing homework
C. not to turn to teachers when doing homework
D. not to look away while doing homework
答案与解析 A 主旨大意题。文章第一句是主题句,且全文都是围绕如何处理家庭作业开放论述。
2.At the time of homework, children shouldn't ________.
A. refer to the materials in the back of the book
B. take any exercise to have necessary rests
C. ask for any help from their parents
D. go for activities without finishing homework first
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。依据第一段第三句可知,同学回到家里,要先处理作业,再做其他的事情。
3. If you are a girl aged 14, the proper length of the homework time should be ________.
A. 14 minutes B. 25 minutes
C. 35 minutes D. 50 minutes
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。由最终一段中的“Kids can achieve 30~45 minutes intervals of study at age 13~15.”可知。
4.The author seems to think ________.
A. children should finish their homework at school
B. parents had better help children with their homework
C. doing homework all alone is more important
D. homework in science needs more time
答案与解析 C 推理推断题。由其次段内容可知作者认为不依靠别人,自己独立完成作业,对孩子自身进展是有好处的。
B
Bedrooms are a very important factor in our lives. In fact, you spend one third of your life in it. This means that you probably don't want a boring bedroom as your own. You would neither want a bedroom that has your least favorite color theme or is so over crowded that you can't get to your bed. This means you will need to plan out your bedroom because you spend so much time in it.
When you are designing a bedroom and you don't know what to do with the extra space in the corner, you may want to see if you could fit in a desk or a small sitting area. You could also put in a corner cabinet or a bookcase for extra storage space. You would want to fill this space so you could either get some more storage space or so that you can have somewhere to have some privacy, and lounge somewhere else than on your bed.
Furniture is not the only thing to consider when designing your bedroom. You also need to consider color. If you aren't sure what color theme to do, then paint your walls and furniture white or some other compatible color, and make your little things be in a certain color theme.
Besides the color theme, you also might have some wall space to use up. You can put up dry erase boards, chalkboards, corkboards, pictures, and posters to give your room an accent. You may also want to put in a book case, or a bedside table. Those are great ways to display some of
your stuffed animals and such.
In one word at last, keep things in your bedroom pretty natural. A vase of flowers or a little card sometimes can make it look comfortable.
5.Why does the writer think bedrooms are important to us?
A. Because different bedrooms have different themes.
B. Because most of the furniture is usually placed in bedrooms.
C. Because we need to spend one third of our lives there.
D. Because we can store more things there than in other rooms.
答案与解析 C 推理推断题。依据第一段的前两句和末句可以得出答案。
6.The second paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. how to use the small corners
B. what to do with the bed
C. where to place the furniture
D. how to design a bedroom
答案与解析 A 主旨大意题。依据其次段首句可以推断答案,而且该段下文也是围绕the extra space in the corner开放说明。
7.In the text the writer doesn't mention the ________ in designing bedrooms.
A. furniture B. colors
C. animals D. walls
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。文中提到的stuffed animals指的是诸如玩具类的动物装饰品,而非真的动物。
8.The underlined word “lounge” here probably means
________.
A. jump up and down B. sit in a lazy way
C. walk here and there D. sleep at times
答案与解析 B 词义猜想题。依据上下文以及后面的than on your bed,可以推断lounge somewhere这个动作是可以发生在床上,也可以用拐角处的摆设代替床铺发生该动作,排解A、C两项,而且在这么狭小的空间上睡觉也不合理,因此B项最恰当。
