考查词序。such与冠词的词序是:sucha/an+形容词+单数名词。2.A 考查“祈使句+and/or+句子”结构。3.A 考查从属连词。句意:这个女孩几乎没来得及按门铃门就突然被打开了,她的朋友们冲出去欢迎她。故选A项。B、C、D三项在句中不合逻辑,故排除。4.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意:他们站在那里睁大眼睛监视所发生的事情。pullover意为“路边停车”;watchover意为“看守,监视,照管”;getover意为“克服,恢复,越过”;goover意为“检查,复习”。根据句意可知B项正确。5.D 考查介词短语辨析。句意:某种程度上我与你观点一致。intheway意为“挡道”;ontheway意为“在途中,即将到来”;bytheway意为“顺便说,顺便问一下”;inaway意为“在某种程度上,从某一点上看”。根据句意可知D项正确。6.A 考查非谓语动词的用法。由空格后的部分可以看出,“somanythings”很多事情还没有处理,所以用不定式表示将来。句意:有很多事情有待于处理,我得工作到深夜。7.C 考查副词词义辨析。somehow以某种方式或原因;besides另外,再有;anyway无论如何;therefore因此。由句意“——噢,要看情况而定。无论怎样,它给我提供了一次尝试的机会”可知应选C项。8.C 考查动词的时态。语境:近十年来,他一直在挖掘他的最大潜能,所以又获奖了。9.B 考查不定式作宾补的用法。该题的关键是对俗语“acatonahottinroof(像热锅上的蚂蚁一样)”的理解。既然是像热锅上的蚂蚁一样,说明很多问题有待于解决,所以用不定式作宾补,在该结构中相当于省略了forsb.,故选B。10.B 考查动词辨析。arisefrom“起因于,由……引起”,符合题意。rise上升;happen发生;keep保持。11.D 考查副词辨析。totally完全地。句意:随着他的一切都失去了,他完全地绝望而自杀了。hardly几乎不;luckily幸运地;sincerely真诚地。12.A 考查名词辨析。sign迹象,标志。句意:一项研究表明你在老年时走得快是你会长寿的标志。mark记号;symbol象征;signal信号。13.D 考查名词辨析。application应用。句意:上个月新的发明将会在工业上广泛应用。discovery发现;profit利润;guidance指导。14.A 考查短语辨析。A项意为“结果”;B项意为“总之;最后”;C项意为“更差的是”;D项意为“再有;更有甚者”。句意:我母亲超过了年龄限制,结果她的工作申请被拒绝了。15.D 考查情景交际。A项是见面打招呼的用语;B项用于委婉拒绝;C项表示非常感谢;D项意为“无论如何,还是要谢谢你”。联系上句“抱歉我未能按时完成”可知应选D项。13\nⅡ.“我”从小与邻里一些不同种族和宗教信仰的孩子快乐地生活在一起,20年后“我”邂逅了儿时的朋友,那种亲切难以言表。如果我们让自己的孩子毫无偏见地和其他孩子建立友谊,那我们会成为快乐的兄弟帮。16.C “我”对周围发生的误解或冲突感到疑惑。17.D 根据上下文,出现的不信任和问题主要是不同种族的偏见造成的。18.D when在此引导定语从句,指代前文的intheearly1960s。19.A 根据上下文,“我”与来自不同种族和宗教信仰的孩子们和谐地在一起玩耍和学习,故选A。20.B astone'sthrow意为“一颗石头掷出去的距离”,即很近。21.D 根据上下文,“我们”都接受彼此的不同(包括种族和宗教方面)。22.B 语境:我们的长辈没有向我们灌输没必要的建议,无论是善意的还是恶意的。wellmeant意为“善意的”。23.A “我们”一起骑着自行车到乡间探险,希望能有一些意外收获。explore探索,探险。24.C comeacross偶然遇见或发现。25.D 有时,当Ismail想和“我们”一起去镇上做“我们”难得一次的购物时,“我们”也会很高兴地让他同去。company此处意为“陪同”。26.A 根据下文,“我”20年后才再次遇见Ismail,所以是儿时失去了联系。27.A “我”向司机说明了“我”的目的地。state叙述,说明。28.B 司机确认了“我”的目的地,但并没有出发。instructions意为“指示”,在此指“我”所告诉司机的目的地。29.D 他定定地看着我。anxiously焦急地,担忧地;carelessly粗心地;disappointedly失望,均不合题意。30.A 根据上文,司机叫的是“我”儿时的绰号,所以“我”对如此熟悉的称呼感到震惊。31.D 由上下文可知,“我”与Ismail再次相遇是经过较长的一段时间,因此D项符合题意。32.C “我”感觉到了一种真正的感情,一种难以表达的感情。33.B 如果我们能让我们的孩子真诚,没有偏见,他们就能与人建立友谊,而不管他们是什么种族或宗教。beoneself显得真诚,自然。34.B 这些朋友将在他们身边与他们同甘共苦。bytheirside在他们身边。35.C 社会建立在这样的友谊上,那么我们就真的能像莎士比亚所说的“我们快乐,我们是兄弟帮”。Ⅲ.本文介绍英国一所学校大胆推迟早上学生的到校时间,结果学生迟到、旷课现象减少,成绩明显提高。学校准备投票决定是否永久将这项举措保持下去。36.C 词义猜测题。根据文章可知,自实行了这项措施后,在truancy方面下降了28%,甚至几乎没有人迟到。这里讲的是实行这项措施的好处,结合四个选项,可知选C。37.D 推理判断题。依据第五段可知学校推迟学生到校时间是有科学依据的,学生在早上需要更多的睡眠时间。38.D 正误判断题。依据第六段最后一句推断学生下午状态更佳。学生在上午更易管理(貌似专心听讲),是因为他们在此时还没有完全清醒。39.B 主旨概括题。本文讲了一所学校根据青少年的睡眠研究改变学生上学时间的事。结合文章内容可知B项作为标题能够突出本文主旨,又比较新颖。Ⅳ.40.and 41.work
