六、作文題(1題)54.Directions:Forthispart,youarerequiredtowriteacompositionentitledBody-building.YoushouldbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegivenbelowandwriteitontheAnswerSheet.

1.近年來越來越多的人開始加入各種健身俱樂部或健身中心。

2.人們健身的目的有哪些。

3.你的看法

參考答案

1.D

2.A人們認為，在中國舉辦像俄羅斯年這樣的重大活動肯定會有助于兩國之間的友好關系。

［考點］固定用法

【精析】Abigevent并不是特指，故應用不定冠詞a修飾，而relationshipbetweenthetwocountries是特指中國與俄羅斯之間的友好關系，所以應用定冠詞the來修飾。故選項A為正確答案

3.A考慮到各種因素，他的提議比你的提議更有價值。

［考點］非謂語動詞

【精析】A分析句子結構可知，逗號之前為獨立主格結構,作條件狀語。根據句意可知，things和consider之間為邏輯上的動賓關系，所以應用consider的過去分詞形式，表示被動

4.C解析：giveaway的意思是“贈送，泄露，拋棄”；keepaway的意思是“使離開，使缺席”；takeup的意思是“占據，接受，拿起”；useup的意思是“用完，耗盡”。只有C符合題意，句子的意思是：我們試圖尋找一張能容納七個人吃飯的桌子，但是這些桌子都被占了。

5.D——你要去看今晚的足球比賽嗎？

——我希望我可以，但是我不得不去見一個客人。

［考點］冠詞的用法

【精析】D根據句意可知，足球比賽是說話雙方都知道的比賽，表示特指，所以第一個空應用定冠詞the；一個客人表示泛指，因此第二個空應用不定冠詞，visitor的發(fā)音是以輔音音素/v/開頭的，所以用不定冠詞a。故選D

6.D

7.C以防天氣變化，請隨身帶件外套吧。

［考點］詞義辨析

【精析】Cbecauseof:因為，由于；inspiteof:盡管，不管；incaseof:萬一,如果發(fā)生，以防;butfor:要不是，如果沒有。根據句意可知，選C

8.D我已經放棄說服他了；和他爭論沒有任何意義。

［考點］詞語搭配

【精析】Dthereisnopointindoingsth.為固定句型，意為做某事沒有意義。故選D

9.DD句意：迪克很忙，所以很少有時間去看電影；簡也一樣。倒裝句型題。題干中空格處前面的句子有副詞rarely，表示否定的概念，空格處要填的部分表示和前面提到的情況相同，因此要用代詞nor引導倒裝結構。故選D

10.D英語作為外語教學的第一本教科書出現在16世紀。

［考點］非謂語動詞

【精析】D分析句子結構可知此處應為分詞短語做定語修飾textbook，根據時間狀語和謂語動詞時態(tài)可知空處應為過去時，又因為textbook和動作write存在動賓關系，所以應選written用過去分詞表過去、表被動，故選D

11.A埃德加生氣地對老板說：你太以自我為中心了。是時候讓你知道你并不是世界上最重要的人了。

［考點］虛擬語氣

【精析】A在Itis（high）time…結構中，從句謂語動詞常用過去式來表達虛擬語氣，意為到做某事的時候了。故選A

12.B在失業(yè)的情況下，簡再也不能像以前那樣請朋友吃飯了。

［考點］詞義辨析

【精析】Btreat:招待，treatsb.todinner意為請某人吃飯,符合題意。urge：竭力主張，強烈要求；attract：吸引；apply：應用，申請。故選B

13.AA句意：事實上，他們寧愿去北京也不愿意待在上海。固定搭配題。wouldrather…than…意為寧愿……也不……，是固定搭配。而且wouldrather和than連接的是兩個并列謂語，因此，than后面的動詞也用原形。故A為正確答案

14.C句意：這種態(tài)度就是不能被接受。近形詞詞義辨析題。選項A意為可適用的；選項B意為可接觸的；選項C意為可接受的；選項D為動詞resume的過去分詞，意為重新開始，重新獲得。根據句意可知答案為C

15.A［翻譯］我很少見到父親像現在這樣因為我取得的進步而如此高興。

［考點］固定搭配

均不符合句意

16.B在酒店住一天的花費是租一星期公寓的兩倍。

［考點］倍數表達法

【精析】B常用的倍數表達法有：①A+謂語+倍數+as+形容詞或副詞的原級+as+B；②A+謂語+倍數+形容詞或副詞的比較級+than+B。選項中B、D兩項符合第一種，但花費是不可數名詞，所以應用much修飾，而不用many。故選B

17.C他寫東西的時候抽了很多煙。

［考點］動詞時態(tài)

【精析】U根據句意可知，主句和從句都是對過去情況的描述。when引導的時間狀語從句是一般過去時，所以主句也應用一般過去時。故選U

18.B

19.B我們一再強調戒煙的重要性，但他們幾乎意識不到。

［考點］倒裝句型

【精析】B表示否定意義的詞或短語位于句首時，句子要用倒裝，可先排除C、D項。根據句意可知，此處應用現在完成時，表示之前的動作對現在發(fā)生事情的影響。所以選B

20.C能夠預測價格變化影響供求的程度是有用的。

［考點］詞語搭配

【精析】Cto…extent是固定短語,表示程度，如：在某種程度上可用toacertainextent,tosomeextent表示,在很大程度上可用toagreat/largeextent表示。在本句中關系代詞which指代extent,前置介詞只能是to。英語中表示類似用法的還有：to…degree

21.KK根據空后的名詞短語15years可知，空處應填介詞。符合要求的選項有C、K。句意：15年來，來自倫敦大學學院的專家們一直在調查超過6,700名英國人的生活方式。故選K。

22.JA.studied（v.學習，研究）B.continuing（v.繼續(xù)，持續(xù)）C.by（prep.通過）D.who（pron.引導定語從句）E.whose（pron.引導定語從句）F.improve（v.改進，改善）G.truth（n.事實，真相）H.ignored（v.忽視，不予理睬）I.recently（adv.最近，不久前）J.those（pron.那些）K.for（prep.表示一段時間）L.less（adv.更少，較少）J分析句子結構可知，空后的who引導一個定語從句，空處為其先行詞，所以空處應填指人的名詞或代詞。符合要求的選項只有J。those在此處指代上文中的people，此處表達的是“不去（音樂會、演出和博物館）的那些人”。故選J。

23.HH分析句子結構可知，空處應填引導詞，引導一個定語從句，修飾指人的先行詞friends。符合要求的選項只有H。句意：學生在上大學時可以學習并交到將持續(xù)一生的朋友。故選H。

24.B

25.E

26.C

27.D

28.D

29.C

30.C

31.D根據下句的回答可知，M是在詢問衣服有什么顏色。故選D

32.C

33.A

34.并且，各個年齡段均有太多的人正在日復一日地做著并不明智的選擇，這些人要么正在承受或將要承受這些選擇帶來的后果

35.Itiswellknownthatdiamondisthehardestsubstance

36.信心是確信你有能力實現自己的愿望，并充滿信心地生活著。如果你足夠專心、堅決和自信，那么任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你預想的那樣，你有力量去改變它，并且你必須一步一步地去實現這些改變。有目標并且有計劃地去生活。帶著你的目標而奮斗，你就會擁有自己想要的生活

37.Smokingshouldbetotallyprohibitedinallthepublicplaces

38.我訪問了不少地方，遇到了不少人，要談起來，奇妙的事可多著呢

39.令我們寬慰的是，事實證明這項措施比預期更有效

40.A根據漢語可知句子主干是公司面臨困難，我們不了解的作定語，綜合起來A項翻譯最佳。B項著重于yourcompanyisfacingsomedifficulties，與漢語句子的側重點有偏頗。C項意思更接近于可能我們不知道你們公司正面臨的困難。D項整個結構與漢語句子不相符

41.Incrowdedwatersorfog,theshipusesthesirenslikethoseusedbypolicecarsandambulances

42.BB根據句意可知，前后兩句為因果關系。A項句子是并列關系，故排除A項；C項和D項將需求增長譯為需求被增長，與題干意思不符。故選B

43.TedandWilliamhavelivedunderthesameroofforfiveyears

44.BB事實細節(jié)題。根據第三段第一句“Weallmakequickjudgmentsaboutstrangers.”可知，人們總是會快速對陌生人做出判斷，所以A項正確；根據第一段第三句“Soon,Ninawasdoggedlypumpingmeforinformationaboutthenewdepartment…”可知，第一次見到我時，尼娜表達得咄咄逼人，所以C項正確；根據第一段第一句“WhenIfirstmetNina,Idislikedheratonce.”可知，第一次見到尼娜時，我就不喜歡她，所以D項正確。文中沒有提及B項。故選B。

45.C［考點］事實細節(jié)題

【精析】C根據第二段第四、五句…h(huán)earrangedtoputonwasnotready…Hereadaplayofmineand,thoughhedidnotmuchlikeit…tilltheplayhehadinmindcouldbeprodu
