　　A．the; /B．the; the

　　C．a(chǎn); the

　　D．/; the

　　答案：B　考查冠詞。第一空考查“the＋adj.”表示一類人；第二空本來出現(xiàn)可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)直接表示類別種類來泛指，但由于后面有of結(jié)構(gòu)來作后置定語，所以在fruits前要加上the，表示社會發(fā)展的特定的成果。

　　2．His________to become a pilot was held back by his poor eyesight.

　　A．destination

　　B．inspiration

　　C．a(chǎn)mbition

　　D．promotion

　　答案：C　考查名詞。句意：由于視力不好，他想成為飛行員的追求無法實(shí)現(xiàn)了。ambition“雄心，追求”；destination“目的地”；inspiration“靈感”；promotion“促進(jìn)，增進(jìn)”。

　　3．Nowadays teenagers like to go to the fast-food restaurant，________，as the name says, eating needn't take much time.

　　A．which

　　B．however

　　C．therefore

　　D．where

　　答案：D　考查定語從句。這是一個分隔式定語從句，主句和從句之間有插入語“as the name says”，從句中的主語是eating，先行詞是表示地點(diǎn)的the fast-food restaurant。

　　4．Many people in Haiti died from the earthquake because they didn't have______to immediate rescue.

　　A．a(chǎn)ccess

　　B．a(chǎn)dmission

　　C．a(chǎn)pproach

　　6．I was________with my son about his carelessness, which_____ ___the main cause of his failure in maths.

　　A．a(chǎn)nnoyed; were

　　B．a(chǎn)mazed; was

　　C．a(chǎn)mazing; were

　　D．a(chǎn)nnoyed; was

　　答案：D　考查主謂一致和形容詞。第一空amazed修飾人，amazing修飾物；第二空which指代carelessness，因此用單數(shù)。

　　7．Every time after a long________from school, I feel really stupid because I am a bit behind the others.

　　A．load

　　B．range

　　C．journey

　　D．a(chǎn)bsence

　　答案：D　句意：每次長期缺課后，我都會感到很愚蠢，因?yàn)槲冶葎e人又落后了。absence“缺席，不在”。

　　8．With a lot of homework________，I can't go to the cinema with you after school.

　　A．done

　　B．doing

　　C．having done

　　D．to do

　　答案：D　考查with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。句意：由于有很多作業(yè)要做，放學(xué)后，我不能和你一起去看電影了。由句意可知，作業(yè)還沒有做，所以選擇不定式表將來。

　　9．—What' s the matter with Marsa?

　　—Well, her parents wouldn't allow her to go to the party, but she still________.

　　A．hopes to

　　B．hopes so

　　C．hopes not

　　D．hopes for

　　答案：A　考查不定式的省略。to后省略了go to the party。

　　10．—I really thought that I would win the match.

　　—Oh, well，________， Henry.

　　A．congratulations

　　B．better luck next time

　　C．best wishes

　　D．take your time

　　答案：B　考查交際用語。第一句的意思是：我真的以為我會贏的。暗含沒有贏之意，所以答語“下次好運(yùn)”符合情景。

　　11．While Mr. Yang was examining the composition his son had finished________the possible spelling mistakes in it; the mistakes he got used to________him a lot.

　　A．to correct; annoying

　　B．correcting; annoyed

　　C．to correct; annoyed

　　D．correcting; annoying

　　答案：C　這是一道典型的陷阱題。第一空中his son had finished是the composition的定語，可以不予考慮，意為“他兒子寫完的作文”，第一空就該用不定式表示目的，“檢查是為了改正可能出現(xiàn)的拼寫錯誤，”，在第二空中出題老師又設(shè)置了一個陷阱，he used to其實(shí)又是后置定語，中間省略了that，所以整個句子缺少謂語動詞，只能選擇過去式annoyed。

　　12．He is never absent________school________.

　　A．from; despite of his serious illness

　　B．of; though seriously ill

　　C．from; despite his serious illness

　　D．of; except when he is ill

　　答案：C　be absent from“缺席，不在”。句意：即使生了重病，他也從沒有缺過課。despite是介詞，后面不能再用其他介詞，相當(dāng)于in spite of。

　　13．During the speech, he showed his________by smiling.

　　A．a(chǎn)pproach

　　B．a(chǎn)pplication

　　C．a(chǎn)ccess

　　D．a(chǎn)pproval

　　答案：D　approval“贊成”。句意：演講期間，他用微笑表示贊成。approach“接近，靠近”；application“申請，申請書”；access“接近，進(jìn)入”。

　　14．I hope I will not be called on in class as I'm not yet_____ _prepared.

　　A．a(chǎn)ttentively

　　B．readily

　　C．a(chǎn)ctively

　　D．a(chǎn)dequately

　　答案：D　adequately“充分地”。由前半句可以看出，這里要表達(dá)的意思是“沒有做好充分的準(zhǔn)備”，故選D。本題容易誤選B，其實(shí)readily意為“樂意地，容易地”，不要受到ready的影響。

　　15．When they moved to Canada, the children________the surroundings very well.

　　A．a(chǎn)dapted to

　　B．a(chǎn)dopted to

　　C．used to

　　D．a(chǎn)ttempted to

　　答案：A　句意：當(dāng)他們搬家到加拿大時，孩子們對環(huán)境適應(yīng)很快。adapt to表示“適應(yīng)……”，符合句意要求。
