這篇短文介紹了格陵蘭島和冰島的地理環(huán)境和氣候特征。

答案簡析

1.C。格陵蘭島位于歐洲北部。這需要有一定的地理常識，下文并無提示。

2.B。

3.A。如果你只從字面上看，認為Greenland是綠色的，而 Iceland被許多冰所覆蓋，那么你就想錯了。根據(jù)下文可知它們的地理特征并不像它們的名字所描述的那樣。

4.B。There must be more people…表示肯定猜測，而如果直接用There are more people則太絕對化了。

5.D。根據(jù)下文得知格陵蘭島大部分地區(qū)被冰所覆蓋，所以是白色的。

6.D。格陵蘭島的冰比世界最高的樓高。故選high的比較級 higher。

7.C。What about Iceland? 意為“冰島(的地理環(huán)境和氣候)又怎樣呢?”。

8.A。not so…as…表示“不如……”。

9.B。因為冰島擁有很多的溫泉，冰也沒有格陵蘭島的多，所以氣溫就沒有格陵蘭島低。

4.B。be wild with joy意為“欣喜若狂”，表示the man當時的心情。

那個女孩。

8.C。should表示“應該”。

9.B。此處指“富翁”。

10.B。in this way為固定短語。

11.A。只有few可以修飾dollars。

12.D。從下文中可以看出小女孩其實很聰明，但是富翁卻以為她“愚蠢”。

13.C。have sb. do sth.意為“讓某人做某事”。其余三詞后面的動詞不定式都要加to。

名師點評

乘飛機時喜愛窗子旁邊，但是臨窗的座位上有一個警告，上面寫著：此座留著是為了保持飛機平衡，只好作罷。又有幾個乘客看到空座走了過去，但看到紙條后都離開了。這時，上來一個年輕漂亮的女士，旁邊的年輕人就把紙條拿掉了。閱讀時注意體會文章的幽默感。

答案簡析

1.A。因為下文敘述的是飛機上發(fā)生的事情。by air=by plane。

2.C。喜歡坐在窗子“旁邊”。

3.B。表示結(jié)果，與上句的look for(表動作)相呼應。

4.B。從句子結(jié)構(gòu)看，此空該填非謂語動詞形式。seat是及物動詞，

意思是“使某人就坐”，它與a young man是動賓關(guān)系，所以用seated，表示狀態(tài);而sit是不及物動詞，它與a young man是主謂關(guān)系，要用sitting，表示動作。

5.C。不能選A，因為arrive為不及物動詞;由下文可知，他根本沒坐下來，所以也不能選B;若選D，則與上句的he went towards it相矛盾。

6.D。in large letters是固定說法，意為“用大寫字母”。

7.B。這里該用現(xiàn)在分詞表示伴隨動作。say強調(diào)“說”的內(nèi)容，而speak則指“說”的動作，故不選D。

8.D。which引導定語從句，指代先行詞something particularly heavy。

9.A。another表泛指“另一個”。

10.C。此處不定式to sit用作定語，應與被修飾的名詞seat構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系，而sit卻是不及物動詞，必須加上介詞on。

11.B。try只表示設法去做某事，而不表示是否做成;manage卻表示設法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不選C。

12.B。隨著情節(jié)的發(fā)展，飛機上的人越來越多，快要“滿了”，所以用full。

13.B。enter作“進入”講時，一般不與into連用，故不選C。

14.A。quickly表示“立刻行動，毫不遲延”用于此處符合the man 的心境，也大大地增強了文章的幽默感。

15.C。take ---off---是固定搭配，意為“把……從……取下”。

名師點評

這篇短文講述了作者是如何計劃一個短暫的假期，去山里天氣太冷，而且假期又短，所以她決定去附近的海邊度假。

答案簡析

A。根據(jù)下文的I can work at home all the rest of the time 可判斷這里是at home。意思是“我家里有許多事要做”。

C。a good chance to do it 這里的to do it是不定式做后置定語

B。“度假”應用動詞spend。

C。go south/north/west/east to somewhere意為朝著(東南西北)方向去某處。

B。everything there was beautiful 說明那兒的一切都很美。

D。too…to…為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是“太……而不……”。

A。因為decide后面的賓語從句不缺任何成分，故用 that 來引導陳述句賓語從句。

B。

A。do want 表強調(diào)，意思是“我”真的很想去度假。整篇文章時態(tài)是以現(xiàn)在時為主，故wanted不可選，其它兩個選項無此用法。

D。along the seashore意思是“沿著海邊”。

C。在陽光下應該用in ，而不是under。

A。in和一段時間連用表示將來，而after只有和點時間連用可表示將來。

C。think over意思是“仔細考慮”。

C。根據(jù)后面的than可知這里應用比較級better。

B。根據(jù)第一小節(jié)作者覺得這個時候去山里不合適，所以這里應選mountains。

名師點評

本文講解的是關(guān)于世界上最快的客機——協(xié)和式飛機(CONDORDE)的發(fā)展史。33年的歷史、英法聯(lián)手打造、耗資十多個億、兩倍于聲速……無一不使人們嘆為觀止。

答案簡析

C。本句如選invented或 produced，得用被動語態(tài)，took off是“起飛”的意思，這里意指“它第一次飛行是在……”因此，用flew最為恰當。

A。both…and …是固定短語，為“……兩者都”的意思。

B。根據(jù)文意，“兩個國家都有造超聲波飛機的夢想”，而不是“談話”、“會議”、或“戰(zhàn)斗”。

A。work on sth.意為“致力于……”。

D。cost“耗資”。paid，wanted的主語應是人，needed指根據(jù)計劃需要耗資等的數(shù)量，cost本身就表示花費成本的數(shù)量。

B。voice意為“嗓音”;noise意為“噪音”;shout意為“大叫聲”;speed of sound意為“聲速”。

B。固定短語it takes sb. some time to do sth.

D。because 后面是一個名詞性詞組，所以用because of 意為“由于……的原因”。本句意為“由于英、美之間的五個小時的時間差”。

A。根據(jù)上下文之間的聯(lián)系，意為“你坐協(xié)和式飛機從London到New York，有可能已經(jīng)到了New York，而還沒離開London。(這是由于時差)。

C。catch the flight 意為“趕上某次航班”。

C。下文省略了“than in London”。

B。“每架飛機”，只有用each，其他都不對。

A。so far “到目前為止”，本句意為“到目前為止，已造出二十架飛機”

D。通過上下文可知，這兩個機場所擁有的協(xié)和式飛機最多。

C。本句的主語是they，而each只是同位語，所以不可用has，have一般不用進行時態(tài)，所以不可選D。

店主看到來住店的客人的包，認為里面有許多錢，于是便想占為己有，他們夫妻二人想出一個辦法，把健忘草拌在客人的飯里想讓其第二天起來時忘記去尋找自己的包，可是客人卻在第二天一早就離開了，連住宿費都忘了付。店主夫妻害人不成反害了自己。弄清故事的情節(jié)發(fā)展是做好本題的關(guān)鍵。

答案解析

1. D。本句考查的是時態(tài)，該動作發(fā)生在下文 said的前面，表“過去的過去”，因此用D，而C表示的是狀態(tài)。

2. B。此為情態(tài)動詞表示猜測在there be句型中的運用。

3. A。let’s 后跟動詞原行，代詞要放在動詞和副詞構(gòu)成的詞組中間。

4. D。let’s引導的祈使句，其反意疑問句為shall we。

5. C。包沒了，當然會尋找(look for)。

6. B。下文minutes為可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)，此句為肯定句，故選 a few。A項表示否定含義，C、D都修飾不可數(shù)名詞，前者表否定，后者表肯定。

7. A。why not do sth.為why don’t you do sth.的省略形式，表示建議。

8. A。條件狀語從句中，主句是將來時，從句則用一般現(xiàn)在時。

9. B。forget doing sth. 表示忘記做過某事了，forget to do sth表示忘記了要去做某事;take與下文的away構(gòu)成固定短語，表示拿走。

10. C。那個客人吃的是拌有健忘草的飯。with表示具有、伴隨。

11. A。find the door open, 發(fā)現(xiàn)門是開著的，這里open是形容詞作賓語補足語。

12. C。妻子的建議沒有達到預想的效果，所以店主很生氣。

13. D。店主抱怨說健忘草根本沒用。

14. B。妻子堅持認為吃了健忘草的客人一定忘了某事。

15. C。原來客人吃飯、住宿后忘記付錢了。
