Ⅱ. 单项填空(共15小题; 每小题1分，满分15分)
21. He was seriously ill. That’s ______ he didn’t appear at the party.
A. because B. what C. why D. when
【解析】选C。考查表语从句。why引导的表语从句内容是“某一结果”。而because引导的表语从句内容是“原因”。 生病是原因，没去参加party是结果，故选C。
22. It is_______ that I can still remember_______ was discussed at the meeting.
A. sure; when B. sure; what
C. certain; when D. certain; what
【解析】选 D。sure的主语不能用it，when 不能充当从句中的主语，因此只有D符合。
23. According to a UN report, 30 percent of the world population have no______ to clean drinking water and health care.
A. sense B. chance C. access D. standard
【解析】选C。句意：根据一份联合国的报告，世界上30%的人口没有干净饮用水和健康保障。have no access to没有机会利用。access使用；sense意义，感觉；chance机会；standard标准，与句意不符。
24. —Do you like The Legend of Bruce Lee?
—Yes. I think it is popular_______ the country.
A. through B. across
C. over D. from
【解析】选B。考查介词。across the country“全国”。句意：
——你喜欢《李小龙传奇》吗？——是的，我想它全国流行。表示“全国”还可以用throughout the country 和 all over the country。
25. —How are you getting on with your business, Tom?
—I’m glad to say it is______ after several months’ depression.
A. picking up B. making up
C. taking up D. turning up
【解析】选A。考查动词短语。pick up “恢复健康，情况好转”。make up “占据，弥补”；take up “开始从事”；turn up “出现”。句意：——汤姆，生意进行得如何？——很高兴在几个月的萧条之后，正在好转。
26. It was on the farm_______ he spent his childhood learning how to grow vegetables.
A. where B. that
C. when D. which
【解析】选B。考查强调句型。强调句型：It is/ was+强调部分（主语、宾语、状语）+that。不管是强调时间、地点还是事物都用that，只有强调人时才可用who。
【举一反三】
—Where did you meet Mary for the first time?
—It was on the farm______ we worked.
A. where B. that C. when D. which
【解析】选A。答句不是完整的强调句型。只有被强调部分：on the farm where we worked, 而句子的其他部分由于上文已经出现而省略了（that I met Mary for the first time）。答句句意为：是在我们工作的农场上我第一次见到玛丽的。因此空格处为一个where 引导的定语从句。
27. Not only I but also many others are______ by the______ examinations.

A. bored; bored B. bored; boring
C. boring; bored D. boring; boring
【解析】选B。bored“厌烦的”，一般指人的情感；boring令人厌烦的，一般描述事物的性质。
28. It is said that the desert is moving as_____ whole in_____ direction of the city.
A. a; / B. /; the
C. a; the D. the; a
【解析】选C。as a whole 作为整体，in the direction of “朝……的方向”。句意：据说那沙漠整体在朝这座城市的方向移动。
29. The newly-published book______ thirty maps,_____ five of Japan.
A. contains; including
B. is containing; including
C. includes; contains
D. contains; included
【解析】选A。考查动词词义辨析。句意：新出版的书含有30张地图，包括五张日本的。contain “含有”，include“包括”，常用于including sth. /sth. included。
30. —Is this book interesting?
—Yes, but I’m sure it won’t interest______ .
A. everybody B. anybody C. nobody D. somebody
【解析】选A。考查代词。everybody与否定词连用表部分否定。not everybody并非人人都……。anybody与否定词连用相当于nobody，与句意不符。somebody不用于否定句中。而not nobody为双重否定表示肯定，但这里有but表转折，故应选A。
31. —John says he has just arrived, but it has been raining for hours, and his shoes are completely dry.
—He_____ be joking! He_____ be telling the truth.
A. can; mustn’t B. must; can’t
C. should; mustn’t D. must; mustn’t
【解析】选B。考查情态动词。在情态动词表推测时，must 只用于肯定句中；而can用于否定句或疑问句中。A、C、D中均有不正确项mustn’t。故只有B项正确。答句句意：他一定是在开玩笑，他不可能在说实话。
32. Our English teacher has______ the English language in this text to make it easier for us to understand.
A. changed B. simplified
C. developed D. combined
【解析】选B。句意：我们英语老师简化了这篇英语课文里的语言使我们更容易理解它。由后面的easier可知是前面简化了。simplify“使简单”。change“改变”。develop“开发，发展”；combine“联合”，均与句意不符。
33. The next Olympic Games_______ in London in 2012.
A. is about to be held B. is to be held
C. is going to hold D. will hold
【解析】选B。考查时态和语态。奥运会和举办之间是被动关系，故C、D项错误。而且2012年是一个将来时间，be about to 不与具体时间连用。只有be to do sth. 表示按计划安排要做的事情。
34. —What is the_______ language of India?
—English.
A. foreign B. international
C. official D. native
【解析】选C。根据答语“English. ”可知，上句问的应该是印度的官方语言是什么，故正确答案应该是official。
35. —Father, you______ !
—Well, so_____ . But it was you who didn’t keep your word first.
A. will promise; I will B. promised; I did
C. has promised; has I D. promise; I do
【解析】选B。考查时态。由下句“it was you. . . ”可知是指以前发生的事，故用过去时态。

Lang Lang, one of the best-known Chinese pianists in the world, was born in 1982 in Shenyang. He began to take piano
lessons at the age of three. At the age of five he won the Shenyang Piano Competition and played his first public recital. Four years later, he got the chance to study at the Central Music Conservatory in Beijing.
What made him sad was that his piano teacher in Beijing didn’t like him. “You have no talent. You will never be a pianist, ”said the teacher. Lang Lang was badly hurt. He decided that he didn’t want to be a pianist any more. For the next two weeks he didn’t touch the piano. Wisely, his father didn’t push, but waited.
Luckily, the day came when his teacher asked him to play some holiday songs. He didn’t want to, but as he placed his fingers on the piano keys, he realized that he could show others that he had talent after all. From that point on, everything turned around. Lang Lang’s father even quit his job and followed Lang Lang everywhere he went, not only as a father, but also as a manager, tutor and friend.
He started winning competitions. In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition, Lang Lang impressed the audience with his splendid piano skills. In 1997 Lang Lang went to Philadelphia, US, where he spent two years practising. During his study there he made rapid progress and became a top professional pianist. After his successful performance at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival, gigs(特邀演出)in Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall he started pouring in. Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spotted(发现)him and let him shine.

While reading a book in English, every few lines of text, you run across a word or two that you don’t know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, you’ll get nowhere fast.
On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion”—if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you will always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head.
A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources.
Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. ”
60. Why do we need a good English-to-English dictionary?
A. Because it is a good friend.
B. Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost.
C. Without it we’ll always depend on our native language and end up translating in our heads.
D. Because it can help us to start thinking in English and in Chinese.

A. pronunciation，symbols and grammar rules

【解析】选D。词义指代题。由本句结构可看出that引导定语从句，指代其前面的先行词charts, diagrams and lists。
62. According to the passage, which statement can lead you to believe?
A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article.
B. The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read.
C. The more you use the resources in a dictionary, the more you can benefit from it.
D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。从第一段可以推知A、B项错误；D项中的the more expensive it is文中没有提到；C项从最后一段可推出。
(C)
People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarket? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. This may be an attempt to please you, so you will enjoy shopping. Some supermarkets want to increase their profits by playing soft and slow music, because the slow music makes you walk slowly and you have more time to buy things.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are usually put near the entrance. When you arrive at the supermarket, you concentrate on the kinds of fruit and vegetables you need first. Once you’ve got that out of the way, you can relax and do the rest of the shopping without any hurry. Besides, if you see fresh goods first, it gives you a “feel good” impression of freshness, so you can not help spending your money.
Maybe you go to the meat department then. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk past all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. It all says “Buy me quickly!” to the customers. The fresh fruit and vegetables say “Buy me quickly!” as you walk by. The expensive meat says “Buy me quickly!” The supermarket tells y
