26、皇兵马俑(the Terracotta Warriors )、大雁塔(Daya n Pagoda)等。现状西部大开发(the West Development Drive )后，成了中国西北地区的经济、科 技、教育中心。1词数：100左右(文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数)2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。答案与解析一、单项选择1. Co divided by除以。此句中divide用过去分词作定语修饰主语Forty-two。句意：42除以6 等于 7。2. D 。 frighten 是及物动词，意为“使某人恐惧” 。其过去分词表示人的内心感觉，而 -ing 形式表示事物的性质，因此第一空

27、填过去分词作表语，第二空填 -ing 形式表示速度是可 怕的。句意：她感到相当恐惧，她竟然以那么可怕的速度开车。3. B 。宾语 herself 与动词 follow 是被动关系，因此用 followed 做宾语补足语。注意 herself不能作主语，因此排除 A 和 D 两个谓语形式， found 后面接的不是宾语从句。4. D。根据时间by the end of next year，这项工程将要完成，所以用不定式作定语表示将来；project 与 accomplish 之间是动宾关系，所以用不定式的被动式，表示“要被完成” 。 句意：人们希望明年年底要完成的工程会是一个本市大众化旅游景点。

28、5. B o remain是系动词，表示"仍然是”，后接stick （卡住、困住）的过去分词stuck作表语，表示状态，因为 holidaymakers 与 stick 是被动关系。 remain to be done 表示将来。句 意：四月，成千上万的度假者由于受到火山灰影响而滞留国外。6. B 。 break out 爆发，突然发生； break away from 与脱离关系。注意 break out 不用被动语态。7. D 。 be delighted to do sth. 很高兴做某事； in delight 高兴地。8. A。 refer to 参考，查阅；提到。 loo

29、k up 表示“查词典”时要用 look sth. up in a dictionary 。ask for 要求； point to 指向。9. B。 attractions 此处指“吸引人的事物” ，符合题意。 collection 收集品； instruction 指导，指令； expression 表达，表情。10. D。因为句子有谓语动词 teach，用介词短语in place of （代替）及其宾语her一起作状语。take the place of （代替）是动词短语，用作谓语。in stead必须加of才能接宾语。11. A 。注意句子是被动句。 make sb. do sth.

30、 意为“使某人做某事” ，变成被动句后 do 前省略的 to 要加上。 Harry 与其补足语 wash 是主动关系，因此选 A。12. A。with的宾语table与lay （放置）是被动关系，而且从 already可知lay的动作已经完成，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。句意：起居室既干净又整洁，用来放要做的饭 菜的餐桌已经摆好了。13. C。 in conflict with sb. 与某人发生冲突。 competition 竞争，竞赛； composition 作文；confirm 是动词，意为“确定，证实” 。14. D。 leave out 遗漏。 put out 伸出； take o

31、ut 拿出； bring out 带出来。句意：至于这件事，他只告诉我们主要的事实，省去了大部分细节。15. A。be made up of= consist of由组成，但是 consist of 一般不用进行时和被动语态。正是因为它包含了各种不同的、完形填空由挑水工人和有缝隙的水罐的对话可知世界之所以美丽，事物。1. C。while在此表示对比，意为“而”。2. D。通过前面的 " always full of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to themaster's house"与后面的对

32、比可知应该选D项。3. B。 take pride in意为"为而骄傲”，等于be proud of4. D。前句写了好水罐的感受，下句写坏水罐的完全不同的感受，所以此处应为转折关系，选 but。5. C。根据前面的句意可知此处应该填imperfection（不完美，缺憾）。前面曾用perfect形容那只没有缝隙的水罐。6. B。根据下一段可知，应该填ashamedo7. B。由前面“ I am ashamed of myself”可知，此处应为"向你道歉” 。& Co clean up "打扫干净” ；turn out "结果是，生产” ；fl

33、ow out "流出” ；run out "用完，失效”。根据句意应该选 Co9. D。此句意为“由于我的不足，你的努力没有得到充分的回报”。选value符合题意。10. C。根据上下文可以推断出应该是挑水工人为the cracked pot感到遗憾，所以选 C。11. A。从下句“ The old cracked pot took notice of the beautiful ”可知此处应选动词 notice。12. B。花长在路边，所以应该为野花，选wild符合语境。13. C。挑水工挑着两个水罐，只有路的一边有花，另一边没有。根据上下文，应填not。14. Co take advantage of.是固定搭配，意为“利用”。15. A。摘花去装饰桌子，所以选 pick.16. A。根据后面的 “.he would not have this beauty ."可以推断此处应该选Without o17. B。根据后面的“ But it'the cracks （裂缝）and flaws （裂纹，瑕疵）we each have."可推断此空应该填cracks或flaws。从所给的四个选项可知选B。18. C。这句话的意思为“但正是这些瑕疵，才让我们的生活如此有趣，并且富有回报”。19. B
