第一节 单项填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1.He stood by the window still, his eyes ________ on the hills in the distance.
A.fixing B.to fix
C.fixed D.having fixed
答案 C
解析 考查独立主格结构。fix on意为“凝视;凝视”。fix one's eyes on意为“凝视着”。his eyes与fix之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词。句意:他一动不动地站在窗户旁,凝视着远处的山。
2.When he at last managed to get a copy of the book, it looked as if he ________ a priceless treasure.
A.found B.has found
C.find D.had found
答案 D
解析 考查It looked as if句式。as if引导表语从句时,从句的谓语动词可用陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气。依据上句中的过去时可知表示与过去事实相反,故用过去完成时。句意:他最终弄到了这本书,真是如获至宝。
3.The athelete will achieve his ________ to win medals in the 2022 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
A dignity B.assistance
C.encouragement D.ambition
答案 D
解析 句意:这名运动员将在2022年里约热内瓦奥运会上获得奖牌,从而实现他的抱负。achieve one's ambition“实现某人的幻想/抱负”,符合题意。dignity“尊严”;assistance“救济”;encouragement“鼓舞”。
4. ________ English, he has to study a second foreign language.
A In addition that B.In addition to
C.In addition D.Beside
答案 B
解析 句意:除英语外,他还要学其次门外语。in addition to“除……之外”。besides作副词时,与in addition相近,意为“此外”,在此处可以用besides,但不行用beside。
5.Children ________ until the music stops, then they have to place their bodies in the position shown in the picture.
A dance with the music B.dance to the music
C.dance along the music D.dance over the music
答案 B
解析 句意:孩子们跟着音乐跳舞直到音乐停止,然后他们得把自己放到图片上显示的位置。dance to the music是习惯搭配,意为“伴着音乐跳舞”。
6.When she reads the book, she stops to take some notes or to think about a problem ________.
A from time to time B.here and there
C.more or less D.one by one
答案 A
解析 句意: 她看书的时候,不时地停下来记笔记或者思考一下问题。from time to time“不时地,时常地;间或地”,符合题意。here and there“处处”;more or less“或多或少”;one by one“一个接一个地”。
7.That beautiful dog raised by a rich lady got knocked ________ by a car running with great speed.
A.off B.into C.out D.over
答案 D
解析 句意:那位富太太养的那条秀丽的狗被一辆高速行驶的汽车撞死了。knock over“撞伤,撞死”,符合题意。knock off“中止,减去”;knock into“撞上”;knock out“击昏”。
8. ________ she lost her temper, which made all the friends present dumfounded.
A.Above all B.All in all
C.All at once D.After all
答案 C
解析 句意:她突然大发雷霆,这使得到场的全部伴侣都目瞪口呆。all at once“突然,突然”,等于all of a sudden。above all“首先,尤其是”;all in all“就整体来说”;after all“到底”。
9.If I ________ you, I ________ go to London with him.
A.was; shall B.am; will
C.would be; would D.were; would
答案 D
解析 句意:假如我是你的话,我会跟他去伦敦。此处表示与现在事实相反的假设,从句中be通常用were,主句中用“would/ should/might/could+动词原形”形式。
10.—Would you mind lending me your camera?
—________.Here you are.
A.You are welcome B.Not in the least
C.Yes, I don't D.No problem
答案 B
解析 句意:——介意借给我你的相机吗?——一点也不介意,给你。Not in the least意为“一点也不”,回答提问中的“介不介意”。You are welcome“不用谢”;No problem“没问题”。

其次部分 阅读理解(共25小题;每小题2分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (断奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark.A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.
Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule.The summer mice were similarly split.The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12-hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.
After 28 days, it turns out the summer-born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter.But among the winter-born mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.
The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.
“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans,”said study researcher McMahon.“If the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”
41.How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?
A.Four. B.Five. C.Six. D.Seven.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。在其次段中提到了分成了三组,而在第三段中又将这三组分别分成了两组、两组和三组,因此在试验中一共有七组老鼠。
42.What's the main idea of the text?
A.The biological clock regulates mood in humans.
B.People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.
C.Being born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.
D.The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.
答案 C
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章的第一段就开门见山地点明白本文的主旨,即冬天诞生的人更有可能存在心理障碍,因此选C。
43.The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ________.
A.divided B.torn
C.hit D.ended
答案 A
解析 词义猜想题。依据第三段的第一句及画线词后面的“were split into three groups”可推知,“split”与“divided”同义,意为“被分开”。
44.Which group of mice has changed their behavior after the experiment?
A.The group born in winter and staying in winter.
B.The group born in winter and switching to summer.
C.The group born in summer and staying in summer.
D.The group born in summer and switching to winter.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。依据第四段的其次句可知,冬天诞生的老鼠在夏天的环境下,要多活跃一个半小时,它们行为发生了变化,因此选B。
45.Who is the appropriate reader of the passage?
A.A job-hunter.
B.A student in the university.
C.A newly-married couple.
D.An experienced dentist.
答案 C
解析 推理推断题。通读全文可知,本文告知我们诞生时间对人的精神健康的影响,再结合四个备选项可知,新婚夫妇应是最合适的读者。
