12、hat elephant was just a baby and not very strong, it was tied by a huge chain to an iron stake that could not he moved. Regardless of how hard it tried, it could not break the chain and run free.

13、int” (印象) is permanent. I cant! I cant! it says. There are millions of people who behave like this circus creature. They have been tied and told Youll never make it. They may have dreams, but the imprinting keeps pulling them back. 因为是起始段，短文中又没有继续涉及，该题有一定的难度。因此听清该词的读音十分重要。但该题仍然有两个判断点。一是前面的不定冠词可提示空格中

14、单词以元音发音开头；二是修饰arena的词不多，容易选择。如果听到读音并进行判断，也容易确定答案。2.答案:stays该题有一定的难度。必须把听到的读音与句子的结构结合起来判断才能把握选择的内容。该题可以结合上下文的意思，断定选择的方向；空格前面的calmly“平静地”对答案有一定的提示作用。3.答案:chain该题可以根据前面的was tied by和后面的to an iron stake判断这里应该是巨大的链子，加上听到读音，就较为容易地得到答案。另外，chain一问在下文中又一次地出现，对判断答案也有帮助。4.答案:gave up该题考查学生根据上下文判断动词的能力。短文的听力测试主要是

15、对文章理解力的测试。这一句话是前面一句的结果。前面说，不管它多么用劲，都不能摆脱铁链的束缚。那么，最后它只有 gave up“放弃”了。5.答案:dreams该题空格前面是动词have，说明接在后面的是名词。后面一句有一个转折，表达它会“面对现实”。反过来推断，加上听到的读音，可以判断这里是“梦想”的意思。Part Vocabulary and StructureSection A问题:1. Dont _ me to help you if you are not working hard.A.guessC.planB.speakD.expect答案:D问题:2. Ill consider _

16、 my grandma tomorrow morning, but Im not sure if she is at home at that time.A.visitingB.visitC.visitedD.to visit答案:A本题考查动词的搭配。固定搭配为：consider doing sth，意为“考虑做某事”。该句意为：我打算明天早晨去看望我祖母，但我不确定她那时在不在家。问题:3. That war _ 2 years.A.stayedB.finishedC.lastedD.completed答案:C战争持续了两年。stay意为“停留”；finish意为“完成”；complete

17、意为“结束”；last意为“持续”，符合题意。问题:4. Many scientists _ their own eyes and ears than the theories of the ancients.A.would rather to believeB.would rather believeC.rather would believeD.will rather believe答案:B解析 本题考查情态动词的使用。would rather(宁愿)是情态动词，后接动词原形。故选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A多了to；选项C中的rather位置不对；选项D不应该使用will，因为并没

18、有will rather此用法。would rather的常见句型是：would rather do A than do B(宁愿做A事而不愿意做B事) 问题:5. We _ building the bridge by the end of next month.A.are finishingB.have finishedC.would finishD.will have finished答案:D考点 动词时态解析 本句的意思是：我们将在下月底前完成大桥的建设。本题检测将来完成时的用法。将来完成时的构成是will+have V-ed，用来表示在将来某一时间以前已经完成或一直持续的动作，经常与

19、by+将来时间连用。答案是D。问题:6. I wonder why Mr. Brown hasn t showed up at the meeting yet. I m not sure, but he _ in a traffic jam driving here. A.could be stuckB.might stuckC.might have been stuckD.must have stuck答案:C考点 动词时态及语态 解析 表示对过去已经发生事情的推测应该用情态动词的完成时形式，might表示的可能性不大；结合上下文的意思可以知道应该用被动形式。 问题:7. Yesterday

20、 when I was walking on the street, I _ to see an old friend of mine.A.managedB.happenedC.settledD.occurred答案:B昨天我在街上走时，偶然遇到一个老朋友。happen to do sth意为“偶然”。其他选项与题意不符。问题:8. She worked very hard and became a successful sales person _.A.or soC.alter allB.at lastD.right now答案:B问题:9. I dont feel like _ now.A

21、.to danceB.dancingC.danceD.danced答案:B我现在不想跳舞。feel like后面要接动名词。问题:10. Would you please _ a seat for this evenings concert?A.reserveC.conserveB.preserveD.save答案:DSection B问题:1. It is no use (cry)_over the spilt milk.答案:crying解析 固定句型试题精解 在下列句型中，必须由动名词作主语：1)It is+no use，no goodfun,a great pleasure，a was

22、te of time，a bore等名词+doing sth；2)It is+uselessnice,good，interesting，worthwhile，pointless，expensive等形容词+doing sth。问题:2. Usually, a student card (able) _ me to travel half-price (半价) on trains in China.答案:enables解析 本题考查形容词与动词的转换。根据语法，空格处应该填入句子的谓语动词，因为to travel是非谓语形式；而且usually通常和一般现在时连用，故本题应该填入形容词able的

23、动词形式enable，根据a student card可知应填入其第三人称单数形式enables。触类旁通 某些形容词加上前缀-en或-em，可以构成动词。如：enlarge(扩大)，enrich(使丰富，使肥沃)，empower(使能够)；另一方面，某些名词加上后缀-en可以构成形容词。如：golden(金黄的)，woolen(木制的)，woolen(毛纺的)等。问题:3. The students are busy _ (review) their lessons.答案:reviewing本题考查动词短语的用法。考查的短语为：be busy doing sth问题:4. She was g

24、lad to see her children well (take) _ care of in the nursery.答案:taken解析 take care of与宾语children之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词，表示被动的含义。此处是“感官动词+宾语+宾沿补足语”的结构。宾补由过去分词充当，描述宾语是被。问题:5. You should practise (speak)_English more often.答案:speaking解析 本题考查词的用法。practise后边应该加动名词作宾语，所以应该用speaking。问题:6. Dont _ (blameless) the lit

25、tle child if he made some minor mistakes.答案:Name本题考查词形的转换。blameless为否定形容词，意为“无可责备的，无过失的”；去掉-less后缀为词根，blame为动词，意为“责备”。该句意为：如果那个小孩子犯了：些小错误，不要责备他。问题:7. I have to (short) _ the trousers a little because they dont suit me well.答案:shorten问题:8. Id rather you (come)_tomorrow because Im very busy today.答案:c

26、rone解析 在Would rather常用结构中，谓语常用过去式构成虚拟语气，表示与现在或将来事实相反的情况，所以填入Come的过去式Came。问题:9. If you drive too fast in this speed-limit area, you will _ (fine) ￥200.答案:be fined解析 此题考查的是动词的语态。主语和动词之间的逻辑关系是动宾关系，所以要用被动语态，应该是被罚款。问题:10. At this time tomorrow we (fly)_over the Atlantic.答案:will be flying解析 本题考查语法。根据句子结构可

27、知这里需要加谓语，而且根据时间状语at this time tomorrow可知应该用将来进行时。Part Reading Comprehension Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service.
