考查冠词用法。makethemostof充分利用；第二个空表示“数量一”，用a。aswitch一个改变。2．C theformer…，thelatter…“前者……后者……”，为固定搭配。3．A 考查动词的时态和虚拟语气。句意：——自从我上次见到你已经有好多年了；我刚才根本没把你认出来。——如果没有人叫你名字，我也认不出你。第一空用一般过去时表示刚才(过去)发生的事实；第二空根据主句“Iwouldn'thave(recognized)”可判断。4．D 考查过去分词作宾补。recognize与句子的宾语hiswork之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动形式，据此可将A和B排除。答案选D，“get＋宾语＋过去分词”使……被……5．C 考查动词辨析。request意为“请求，恳求，恳请，要求，需要”，常用于委婉地说明自己的需要，有礼貌地正式地向他人提出请求，语气比较委婉，往往用于恐怕对方不能答应的场合。在该句中表示“不要回复任何索要个人信息的电子邮件”。search意为“寻找”；ask意为“问”；question意为“询问，讯问，审问”。6．B 考查词序。nosuch＋单数名词，意为“没有这样的……”，此处such指代“这样的，那样的，下述一类的”。7．B 考查固定短语。由答句中yes可知，后面指“这项工作我自己完不成”。故答案为morethan“多于，超过”。lessthan＝nomorethan“小于，少于”；notmorethan“至多”。8．D 考查副词辨析。extremely的意思是“极端地”；naturally的意思是“自然地”；basically的意思是“基本上”；especially的意思是“特别地”。从句意看出，应填especially,强调不会说那个国家的语言会感到更加困难。9．A 考查动词时态(现在完成时)。句意：——艾琳，你要和我们一起去吗？——我想去，但是发生了点意外。现在完成时表示过去发生的动作或事情对现在造成了一定的影响，符合语境，故答案选A。B项表示过去某段时间正在进行的动作或所处的状态；C项表示过去的过去；D项表示过去的将来要发生的事情，均不符合语境，故排除。10．B 考查短语的搭配及非谓语动词的用法。句意：由于以真实的故事为根据，这部电影很值得看。baseon以……为基础，base与其逻辑主语thefilm之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词形式作状语；beworthdoing值得做，doing为主动形式表示被动含义。11．D 考查名词词义辨析。句意：即使彼得当老师已经20年了，他对于自己的工作还是抱着良好认真的态度，这为他赢得了广泛的认可。competence意为“能力，胜任”；motivation意为“动机，积极性”；expectation意为“预料，期望”；recognition意为“承认，认出，赏识”。根据句意可知D项正确。12．C 考查短语辨析。suchas用于部分列举，后紧跟例词。forexample后跟逗号隔开；thatis相当于inotherwords意为“也就是说，换句话说”。12\n13．C 考查so和such的用法。根据语境可知，此处表示“如此少的钱”。few修饰可数名词，故首先排除A、B两项；当不可数名词前有many，few，much，little修饰时，只能用so而不能用such，这是一种固定用法。故此处C项正确。又如：somanybooks这么多书；sofewpeople这么少的人；somuchmoney那么多的钱；solittlemilk那么少的牛奶。14．D 考查表语从句。很显然，前文所说的(他是一个空谈家而不是一个实干家)是下文(他一事无成)的原因。由此可知应该选why。15．D 考查情景交际。句意：——你吸烟很严重，我认为你很难戒掉。——信不信由你，我戒掉了。Ⅱ.A深沉的父爱不必用言语表达，那令人望而生畏的眼神诠释着父亲对女儿的挚爱。16．D 推理判断题。结合文章最后三段的内容可推知父亲的眼神对女儿有保护作用。17．A 词义猜测题。下一句提到作者父亲的目光是在警告男孩，由此可推测其含义是“给……招惹麻烦”。18．B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句的内容可知他们当时结交了很多朋友。由第二段第三句可知他们并不是每周末都去野营，故A项错误；由第三段第三、四句话可知他们经常更换朋友，故C项错误；由倒数第二段中的“droppedmyhandlikeahotpotato”可知那个男孩儿害怕theEvilEye，故D项错误。19．C 推理判断题。根据第二段开头部分的时间状语WhenIwasateen可知本文是作者对过去的回忆，再结合最后一段推知作者现在已经是成年人，已经开始理解父亲的爱。再由第六段的内容可知作者当时是一个小女孩，故选C项。B女人爱美的天性被时装设计师和商人充分利用，他们不断推出各种新款服装，赚足了女士们的钱，而女士们为了美丽心甘情愿地被他们剥削。男士在时装方面则显得比女士更理性。20．A 推理判断题。第一段提到“因为她们一想到自己穿着过时的衣服出现在公众面前就不寒而栗，所以总是被服装设计师和大商场利用”，由此判断，这些人利用她们追求衣着时尚的特点来赚钱，故选A“通过不断改变女装的时尚”。B“通过无情地盘剥服装加工行业的女工”；C“因为他们能预测下一个季节的新款式”；D“因为他们注重女装的质量”都不正确。21．C 细节理解题。第二段说，女士们如果没钱置办新衣，她们就浪费几个小时的时间来修改她们现有的服装以追求时尚。由此判断选C，作者觉得这样做是浪费时间。22．D 推理判断题。从第三段第一句可知A项错误；第三段说，女人为了美愿意忍受任何的不舒适，而没有提到反映了她们“性格的力量”，故B项错误；文章没有提到C项内容。从全文内容可知，作者觉得服装设计师推出各种新款服装的目的是赚钱，是“一年又一年对女士们进行无情的商业盘剥”，由此判断选D。23．B 推理判断题。最后一段说，比较男人和女人对时装的态度就能得出一个明显的结论，男人很聪明，不会被时装设计师欺骗。从这些叙述可知应选B，男士在选择服饰方面比女士更理性。Ⅲ.24.fact 25.abroad 26.expressions 27.count28．asking 29.like 30.than 31.limited
