考查固定句型。Itoccurs/occurredtosb.that…是固定句型，意思是：突然想起……，其中that引导主语从句，选C。2．D 考查数词的用法。twoscoreofeggs“四十个蛋”，score常与of连用。3．C Itis/wassaidthatsb.…＝sb.is/wassaidtodo…而且本句的动作强调在老师进来时已经完成了作业，所以用不定式的完成式。4．C 根据语境“他善于编笑话”判断该空用表示“编造”之意的makingup。showup意为“出现，露面”，不合语境。5.C 由第一空后接名词theefforts可判断该空需用介词，排除A、D两项，因为because后应接从句，而asaconsequence后应接ofsth.。根据beaboutto不能与具体的时间状语搭配，排除B项，故选C。C项的第二空中due为形容词，意为“预期的”。9\n6．C 考查动词的时态。答句意思是：事实上我一直吃得很多。强调动作的持续性，用现在完成进行时，选C。7．D 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语overthepastdecade判断本句应使用现在完成时态。see在此处可意为“见证”。8．B 考查动词的时态。It/This/Thatis/was＋thefirsttime＋that＋主语＋havedone/haddone。9．B 根据句中sincethe1880s可推断此处用完成时态，排除D；exist无被动语态，排除C；comeintoexistence为短暂性动词短语，排除A。10．D 考查倒装句。为了表达生动，有时表地点、方位的副词或介词短语放在句首时引起完全倒装。故选D。11．C 句意：约翰将所有的人都叫出厨房，其目的是为宴会准备惊喜。故选sothat引导目的状语从句。12．A Whenasked＝Whenthemanwasasked，前后主语一致，可改为分词短语作状语。tired作theman的状语。onlytofind…是结果状语，表示“(出乎意料地)发现……”。若用onlyfinding则表示“(在意料之中地)发现……”。13．A 考查现在分词及belongto的用法。句中“________toSarah”为分词短语作后置定语，与其逻辑主语Thebook为主动关系，故用现在分词形式，排除B、C；第二空在句中作谓语，又根据belongto无被动语态形式，排除D，即正确答案为A。14．B 考查代词的用法。句意：“需要什么帮助吗？”“我想为我父亲的生日买一个价钱合理，而且很实用的礼物。”空格处与前句中的apresent构成同位关系，所以选择B项。15．C 考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语是thematch，非谓语动词与逻辑主语是被动关系，故用过去分词，故选C。Ⅱ.作者偶然翻开卡片，思绪回到从前，恩情永生难忘，世界如此温暖。一张卡片，一位好人，一段美好的人生回忆。16．C 作者看到这张卡片后，把它“翻过来”去看卡片背面的内容。turnover表示“翻转”。17．C 在卡片的背面，有草草的手写的“信息”，字都褪色了。message一般指口头传递的或书写的信息，是可数名词。D项通常指消息、情报、资料等，是不可数名词，故排除。9\n18．D 看到卡片上的内容，作者的思绪立刻“回”到了多年以前。19．A 根据第二段最后一句中的“magazines”可知作者当时背着一包“杂志”。20．B 作者当天转了几圈后，最终来到了那家公司。21．D Mr.Rader总是把作者带到那里，“询问”他的员工是否想购买作者的杂志。22．D 作者像一只落汤鸡一样“抖落”身上的雨水，走进了他的办公室。shakeoff“抖掉，甩掉”，符合语境。23．B 他匆匆地看了一眼，发觉作者的窘况后，把作者“领”到壁炉旁。24．A 本段的后半部分提到他为作者购买了一双新鞋，由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞”。25．B 参见上题解析。26．A 他们将车“停”在一家鞋店前。pullup“停车，停止”，符合题意。后三项分别表示“理解，吸收”、“开走”、“走近”，都不符合语境。27．B 售货员给作者挑选了一双非常合适的鞋，此处fit用作动词，意为“使适合”。28．C 这是作者“曾经”见到过的最好的一双牛津鞋。29．D 作者穿上这双鞋站起来后，感觉自己大约有十英尺那么高，inthem表示的是intheshoes。30．C 文章第一段提到作者看到那张“卡片”后，思绪回到了从前，此处与之相呼应。31．A 根据本句后半部分中的“dotoyou”可知此空应用Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲，勿施于人”。32．B 他亲切地说：“吉米，我想让你知道我爱你。”33．A 作者第一次“感觉到”希望的闪现，不管怎样，事情总会好起来的。34．C 根据上文叙述的Mr.Rader帮助作者推销杂志以及给作者买鞋等可知他是一个非常善良的人。35．D 世界上有了像Mr.Rader这样的人，就有了希望、善良和关爱，世界也会因此而不同。makeadifference表示“有影响，起作用”。前三项分别表示“交易”、“财富”、“选择”，显然有悖文意。Ⅲ.36.A 主旨大意题。本文首先指出未来有必要降低太空旅行的成本，然后谈到太空旅行的设计及生产技术，最后谈到太空资源的意义，由此推断全文是围绕太空旅行来展开说明的，故选A。37．A9\n 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句可判断，为了在太空方面赚钱，必须减少太空旅行的费用，即太空旅行的成本必须降低，故选A。38．D 细节理解题。根据第二段“Enginedesignisthemainchallenge.”可推断要降低太空旅行的成本，设计出新型的引擎是首要的，故选D。39．B 细节理解题。根据第五段“OvertimethiscanleadtotheformationofanatmospheresimilartoEarth's.”可判断选B。40．A 推理判断题。根据全文最后一句“Itiscertainthattechnologywilltakeustoworldswecouldneverhaveimagined.”可判断选A。9
