试卷第1页,共3页
试卷第1页,共3页
参考答案:
1.D
【详解】句意:我被要求确认我的电话预订和我的地址,然后肯德基同意送我食物。考查动词辨析题。A. prove验证B. wonder惊奇;C. suspect猜疑;D. confirm确认。根据句意结构,可知前三个选项意思都与句意不合,故选D。
2.A
【详解】试题分析:句意:——你知道那个年轻人被指控什么吗?——我听说他抢劫了一位女士的包。charge sb with sth“指控某人某事”, rob sb of sth“抢劫某人某物”。故选A。
3.C
【详解】句意:——雪下得好大呀!——是啊,我们可以享受雪战了。
考查感叹句。heavy是形容词,其副词形式为heavily,意为“猛烈地,(雨、雪)下得大”;根据句中snowing是动词,可知此处需要副词heavily对其进行修饰,所以此处使用how引导的感叹句,即how+副词+主语+谓语。故选C。
【点睛】本题考查的是感叹句的使用,how和what可以引导感叹句。what引导感叹句的固定结构:what+a/an(+形容词)+可数名词单数(+主语+谓语);what(+形容词)+可数名词复数/不可数名词(+主语+谓语);例如:What a beautiful girl she is!What delicious food!how引导感叹句的固定结构:how+形容词/副词(+主语+谓语),例如:How heavily it rains!How delicious the cake is!本题中考查的正是how引导的感叹句,根据固定结构即可正确解答。
4.C
【详解】句意:我喜欢那位能弹奏不同音乐的歌手。空格后是定语从句,先行词是singer指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,who/that指人,在定语从句中可以作主语。that/who在定语从句中作主语时,定语从句的谓语动词的单复数与先行词的单复数一致,故排除AB;whom在定语从句作宾语,故排除D。情态动词没有人称和数的变化,故选C。
点睛:口诀:关系代词有六个,听我逐一来说破; which表物,人用who,人物都有that顾; which用在逗号后,意表前句你要know; who做主语很称职,whom用到宾语里。
5.A
【详解】句意:警察需要任何有价值的信息,他们已经悬赏了。
考查主谓一致。is和are是be动词,意为“是”;have是动词,has是have的第三人称代词,意为“有”;固定搭配be of+名词相当于be+形容词,而且information是不可数名词,所以此处用be动词is符合题意。故选A。
6.A
【详解】句意:——这就是你年轻时住过的村子吗?——对。我出生在这里。
考查定语从句。where引导定语从句,在定语从句中作状语,先行词是地点名词;which引导定语从句,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语,先行词是物;that引导定语从句,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语,指人或物;what不引导定语从句。句中先行词village“村庄”为地点名词,且从句中的lived“居住”为不及物动词,故应用where引导定语从句,在从句中作状语。故选A。
7.B
【详解】句意:警察不能决定这个嫌疑人是否有罪因为他能证明在案发时他在其他地方。
考查副词辨析。somewhere某个地方,表不确定;everywhere 处处/到处;anywhere任何地方,用于否定句和疑问句。这几个词都是地点副词,如果有形容词修饰作定语,形容词要放在它们的后面,可排除AD两项。根据“The police can't decide whether the suspect is guilty警察不能决定这个嫌犯是不是有罪”,结合题干he has evidence to prove he was at the time of the crime可知,这句话的意思是“警察不能决定这个嫌犯是不是有罪,因为他已经证明了当犯罪发生的时候他在别的地方”。else别的,设空处是某个其他的地方,表示不确定;somewhere else别的地方,故选B。
8.B
【详解】句意:当她回来后,露西阿姨要告诉我们一些他在澳大利亚旅行的情况。当主句描述将来动作时,英语状语从句中一般用一般现在时态表示将来动作,从句主语she是单数第三人称,故谓语动词用单数,选B。
9.B
【详解】句意:——今年暑假,苏州一名女大学生在家乡遇害。——是的。真遗憾!受害者是个19岁的漂亮女孩。
考查名词辨析。witness证人;victim受害者;boss老板;detective侦探。由“ college girl from Suzhou was killed in her hometown ”可知,此处应为在家乡遇害的受害者。故选B。
10.D
【详解】句意:明天这个时候苏珊和莉莉在农场摘西红柿及其它蔬菜。表示昨天这个时刻正在做的事,用过去进行时态。故选D。
11.with 12.broke 13.took 14.hurry 15.sign 16.between 17.waited 18.presents 19.moment 20.pleased

13.句意:他们闯进一家商店的办公室,拿走了钱箱,跑进了电梯。根据“…the money box”结合句意可知,此处指的是拿走了箱子;take拿走;带走,时态是一般过去时,所以此处应用动词过去式took。故填took。
14.句意:他们如此匆忙,以至于没有看到门上写着“最多只能载两个人”的标识语。根据句中“in such a…that they did not see…”可知,他们因为太匆忙而没看见牌子上的标识语;in a hurry匆忙,固定短语。故填hurry。

17.句意:他们坐在他们希望的圣诞礼物上等了长达六个小时。根据上文“They were trapped between the floors”可知,因为他们被困在楼层间,故无计可施,只能等待; wait等待;事情发生在过去,用一般过去时,此处用过去式waited。故填waited。
18.句意:他们坐在他们希望的圣诞礼物上等了长达六个小时。根据“what they hoped to be their Christmas…”可知,他们要用箱子里的钱当作圣诞礼物;present礼物,由their可知此处用复数形式。故填presents。
19.句意:当警察打开门,他们举着手从里面走了出来的时候,那是一个非常特殊的时刻。根据“when…”可知,此处说的是时间,表示那个时刻;moment时刻,可数名词,由a可知,应用名词单数。故填moment。
20.句意:他们说,他们从来没有见到警察那么高兴过。根据下文“The policemen said they were glad to see them too”结合全文可知,他们(窃贼)见到警察很高兴,因为被(从电梯间)解救出来。be pleased to do sth很高兴做某事,固定短语。故填pleased。
