21．(2012·成都一诊) —Excuse me! May I use your computer now?
—________I'm typing an important letter.
A. I hope so.　　　　　　 B. I'm afraid not.
C. Why not? D. Will you?
答案：B　考查交际英语。由答语“我正在打印一封重要信件。”可知，“你恐怕不能用我的电脑”符合语境。
22．(2012·台州二调) It was________of my secretary not to have let others disturb me this morning when I was occupied with my work.
A. generous　　　　　 B. polite
C. considerate D. sympathetic
答案：C　考查形容词。句意：今天早上，我忙着工作。我的秘书没有让别人打扰我，她真是太体贴了。considerate“体贴的”符合句意；generous“慷慨的”；polite“有礼貌的”；sympathetic“同情的，有同情心的”。
23．(2012·三明普高联考)—The conflicts between North and South Korea call for talks to solve the problem.
—Quite right. I would rather the UN________something immediately.
A. would do B. does
C. did D. will do
答案：C　考查虚拟语气。wouldrather后接从句时，从句的谓语动词采用一般过去时表示和现在或将来的事实相反；从句的谓语动词也可采用过去完成时表示和过去的事实相反。句意：—“南北朝鲜的冲突需要对话来解决。”—“是啊。我希望联合国尽快采取措施。”由句意可知，这是对现在或将来的虚拟，所以用一般过去时。
24．(2012·安徽省皖南高三联合测评)________by the late Nobel prize­winning U. S. economist James Tobin, Ethical Currency said it would voluntarily donate 5 percent of all deals to charity.
A. Having inspired B. Inspiring
C. Inspired D. To be inspired
答案：C　考查非谓语动词。 inspire“鼓舞”，和句子的主语有逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词作状语。
25．(2012·成都一诊) Only when you leave school________how much you love it.
A. you will find B. will you find
C. you find D. did you find
答案：B　考查倒装和时态。“only＋状语从句”放在句首，主句应该用部分倒装，所以排除A、C两项；再由时间状语从句when you leave school的时态是一般现在时表将来可知，主句应该用一般将来时。
26．(2012·青岛期末检测)Principal White has been working in the school for about 20 years，________ all his energy to teaching and researching as well as the running of a healthy school.
A. devoted B. devoting
C. to devote D. and devote
答案：B　考查非谓语动词。句意：怀特校长已在该校工作了20年，把自己所有的精力都投入到了教学、研究和学校的健康运转上了。由句意可知，怀特校长和devote构成逻辑上的主谓关系，所以选devoting。
27．(2012·湖北省部分重点中学联考)His contribution to the boy's welfare was to________him for the world in which he would live.
A.intend B.make
C．equip D.provide
答案：C　考查动词。句意：他对那个男孩的福利的贡献是使该男孩对将要生活的世界做好了准备。equip sb. for...“(智力、体力上)使某人对．.....有准备”符合题意。
28．(2012·安徽省皖南高三联合测评)Hiring agency nurses from the UK cost the States________using local staff last year, the health minister says.
A. twice as much as B. as much as twice
C. as twice much as D. as much twice as
答案：A　考查倍数的表示方法。倍数的表示法可用“倍数＋as＋原级＋as”构成。
29．(2012·云南省第二次统测)I'm not sure which side to take in an argument ________ facts are not clear.
A．why B．where
C．which D．that
答案：B　考查定语从句。________ facts are not clear是定语从句部分，该部分主干完整，故选关系副词；先行词为argument，所以选where。
30．(2012·吉林市一模)—My key is gone. Have you seen it anywhere?
—Oh, it is in the room________we had a talk last night.
A. that B. which
C. where D. what
答案：C　考查定语从句。答语须遵循上文的要求。句意：—“你看见我的钥匙吗？”—“哦，在昨晚我们谈话的房间看过。”
31．(2012·广西老牌高中一调)Prices________all the time.It's no wonder that we've spent so much money recently.
A.rose B．had risen
C．were rising D．have been rising
答案：D　考查时态。由题干中的“all the time”和“recently”可知应该用现在完成进行时。
32．(2012·成都一诊)The number of people who________exposed to second­hand smoking in public places________up to 740 million in China.
A. is; are B. are; are
C. is; is D. are; is
答案：D　考查主谓一致。第一空who________exposed to second­hand smoking in public places是定语从句部分，其中who指代先行词people，所以第一空用are；第二空The number of people________up to 740 million in China中“the number of ＋名词”作主语，所以用单数。因此D项正确。
33．(2012·石家庄市质检一)________！ The rescue workers are coming.
A．Hold on B．Get it
C．Work on D．Carry on
答案：A　考查短语。句意：坚持住！救援人员就要来了。由句意可知，选hold on，意为“坚持住”；get it“明白了”；work on“工作”；carry on“继续”。

(2012·四川眉山一诊)
Their height made Wayne and Laurie Hallquist seem like an ideal match when they met seven years ago, and on Thursday they were matched with something else—the title of world's tallest living married couple.
Guinness World Records bestowed that towering distinction to the Hallquists in a ceremony under the marquee at its Hollywood museum.The couple arrived in a white limousine, with Wayne sporting a tuxedo and Laurie in a white wedding dress.
The Hallquists, who live in Stockton, California, measure a combined 13 feet, 4 inches, or 407.4 centimeters, to be exact.He stands 6 feet 10.4 inches, she 6 feet 5.95 inches, the Guinness organization said.
“It's a whole different perspective up here, and we can find each other quite easily in a crowd，” Laurie told Reuters.
“We can see several people going bald that might not know it at the moment，” joked Wayne, 57, who works as a telephone company wire splicer.
The Hallquists said that when they met at a church singles club in 2003, they could tell that others around them were sizing_up a possible love affair because of their height.
“She walked in, everyone looked at her, then they looked at me，” Wayne said. But while Wayne said it was love at first sight for him, Laurie said their first meeting came up short.
“He talked about the size of my hands and feet, which is kind of a no­no，” said Laurie, 46.“And then the second time we had a chance to talk, I figured out he was a really good guy.”
They have been married for eight years, but it took the Hallquists until this year to contact Guinness World Records.
The couple said they were discouraged at first from making a play for world's tallest couple, because they read online that a man and a woman each standing over 7 feet had married in the 19th century.
Only this year did they realize they could compete in another category: world's tallest living married couple.
Guinness previously listed a couple in England—Wilco and Keisha van Kleef­Bolton—as the world's tallest couple at a combined height of 13 feet, 3 inches.

(2012·沈阳四校协作体月考)
Bluegills, which are small enough to fit in your hand, are the fish that are protecting our water. They are common freshwater fish native to America and are also known as bream or sunfish. According to the Associated Press, the bluegills were originally used by the Army to make sure water was safe. Now San Francisco, New York City, Washington D．C and several other cities use the bluegill monitoring system.
The bluegill system works by constantly filling the fish tank with city or town water. A small group of bluegills swim in the local water and are closely monitored. Bluegills are very sensitive to their environment. Changes in the environment cause their behavior and breathing patterns to change. They cough if the water is polluted. Fish cough by flexing their gills(鳃)to get rid of unwanted particles, like grain of sand, from their breathing passages. If the bluegills are coughing the computer sends an alarm via email. The bluegills in New York City discovered an diesel spill(柴油外溢)hours before the usual monitors. Adding the bluegill system to regular water protection methods resulted in an early warning and safer water.
