答案:1.C;2.A;3.C;4.B;5.A;6.D;7.C;8.A;9.C;10.D;11.B;12.A;13.B;14.C;15.B;16.B;17.D;18.B;19.C;20.B;
解析:

(1)

本題實(shí)際上是一個(gè)形容詞的最高級(jí)形式,George Stephanson的發(fā)明很多,在三者以上中選一個(gè)應(yīng)該用最高級(jí),故most是正確選擇。在其余的選項(xiàng)中,very修飾原級(jí),much修飾比較級(jí),a lot修飾比較級(jí)或助詞。

(2)

這里指George Stephanson造了第一輛火車,因?yàn)榛疖囀撬l(fā)明的,當(dāng)然應(yīng)該用make,而不可能是買來(lái)的或引進(jìn)的,故選項(xiàng)B、C、D均應(yīng)排除。

(3)

根據(jù)當(dāng)時(shí)的情況,火車上的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)是蒸汽機(jī),故選steam。其余的選項(xiàng)所表述的內(nèi)容均不符合事實(shí),故不予選用。

(4)

根據(jù)下句的內(nèi)容,在試驗(yàn)過程中他遭遇到的不是成功和快樂,而是麻煩,故選項(xiàng)A、C、D均應(yīng)排除。

(5)

他們說(shuō)蒸汽機(jī)發(fā)出的噪音和煙霧會(huì)殺死馬、牛、羊等動(dòng)物,因?yàn)樗麄儤O力反對(duì),可以想象是不會(huì)說(shuō)好話的,據(jù)此,buy,take away,interest這三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不可能是他們所說(shuō)的話。

(6)

在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,可能發(fā)生爆炸的只有engine,其余三項(xiàng)都不可能發(fā)生爆炸。

(7)

發(fā)燙的煤可能使房子著火,而不會(huì)把房子拉倒或吹走,故選項(xiàng)A、B可以排除。D項(xiàng)pass是經(jīng)過之意,該發(fā)明遭到反對(duì)的原因是有危險(xiǎn),若用pass,則意味著無(wú)危險(xiǎn),也就失去了反對(duì)的理由,不合題意。

(8)

根據(jù)句意,我們可推知當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)還很落后,一個(gè)新事物的產(chǎn)生必然會(huì)遭到很多反對(duì),大多數(shù)人是受傳統(tǒng)勢(shì)力束縛的,故應(yīng)選most。選項(xiàng)B和C表示很少人,D表示富人,與事實(shí)不相符。

(9)

對(duì)人們說(shuō)或告訴人們,應(yīng)該用tell people。若用say,則應(yīng)加介詞to;用speak,也應(yīng)加to;用warn,應(yīng)該用warn sb.of sth.這一句型。據(jù)以上分析,A、B、D搭配上均有錯(cuò)誤。

(10)

根據(jù)常識(shí),火車是在鐵軌上運(yùn)行的,所以應(yīng)選rails,其余的選項(xiàng)明顯不合題意。

(11)

此處選full of,是指火車可以拉裝滿人或貨物的車廂,而不是空車,所以short of, empty of, without都不合題意。

(12)

本句是針對(duì)上面反對(duì)者所說(shuō)火車會(huì)殺死動(dòng)物、燒毀房屋而言的,說(shuō)明火車無(wú)危險(xiǎn),故A項(xiàng)no great danger是正確選擇。選項(xiàng)B和D意思相反,故應(yīng)排除;選項(xiàng)D也表示很少有危險(xiǎn),但few后應(yīng)接復(fù)數(shù)名詞才對(duì),而選項(xiàng)用單數(shù),故D也有錯(cuò)誤。

(13)

因?yàn)檎、?bào)紙的反對(duì),我們可以想像要想使人們相信火車無(wú)危險(xiǎn)是一種難事,據(jù)此,difficult是正確選項(xiàng)。easy, pleasant, light都有輕松愉快之意,與句意不符。

(14)

本句后有一個(gè)不帶to的不定式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ),只有C項(xiàng)make后可接此不定式。其他的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)后若用不定式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ),均不可省略to。

(15)

本題的意思是“過了一段時(shí)間”,一段時(shí)間在英語(yǔ)中是some time。A項(xiàng)sometimes意為“有時(shí)”,D項(xiàng)sometime是“某時(shí)”,而C項(xiàng)a few times則為“次數(shù)”,故選項(xiàng)A、C、D不妥。

(16)

從本題后面的by Stephanson來(lái)看,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),所以選項(xiàng)D可先予以排除。根據(jù)題意,可認(rèn)定該火車是由Stephanson駕駛。was sold和was pulled均與題意不符合。

(17)

Stephanson通過自己駕駛火車證明他所說(shuō)過的話,即火車無(wú)危險(xiǎn)。proved作“證明”解,是正確選項(xiàng)。believe意為“相信”,seem是“似乎”之意,sense意為“感到”,“意識(shí)到”。Stephanson的所為目的是證明他的話的正確性,而不是上述A、B、C選項(xiàng)中所表述的意思。

(18)

本題是一定語(yǔ)從句修飾day,應(yīng)使用關(guān)系副詞when,其余的三項(xiàng)均不能引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。

(19)

從本題中的賓語(yǔ)the noises來(lái)看,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該是heard。hear著重于結(jié)果,即“聽到”;而listen to表示動(dòng)作本身,即“聽”,是否聽到了,從listen to這個(gè)詞組上是分辨不出的;catch sight of和think的賓語(yǔ)不可能是noise。

(20)

在遠(yuǎn)處是in the distance,由于聲音大,人們?cè)谶h(yuǎn)處就聽到了,故選B。其余的三項(xiàng)均不表示此意。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺負(fù))others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的觀點(diǎn)). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

 

2.                A.equally         B.slightly         C.clearly   D.increasingly

 

3.                A.suggestions      B.conclusion      C.turns D.choices

 

4.                A.a(chǎn)ccidents       B.mistakes        C.falls  D.deaths

 

5.                A.interesting      B.vital (重要的)     C.easy D.valuable

 

6.                A.seldom         B.rarely          C.merely (僅僅)  D.never

 

7.                A.trouble         B.power          C.prison    D.control

 

8.                A.roughly         B.eventually       C.deliberately (故意地)    D.exactly

 

9.                A.a(chǎn)wful (可怕的)   B.cruel           C.unhealthy D.unnecessary

 

10.               A.still            B.even           C.later  D.somehow

Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our   36   about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   37   us to start our journey.

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (撫摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven  29    years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life   30     . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and   34      asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely    36     from my mind, reached through the bars (護(hù)欄). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched   37      . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me     38     so important? For the   39      time, I saw my brother, not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored (寵愛), but through the eyes of a   40    .

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不經(jīng)意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
