2023年内蒙古美术职业学院高职单招（英语）试题库含答案解析

长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。住在富人区的她2023年内蒙古美术职业学院高职单招（英语）试题库含答案解析（图片大小可自由调整）全文为Word可编辑，若为PDF皆为盗版，请谨慎购买！卷I一.综合题(共50题)1.Expertsbelieve

peoplecanwastelessfoodbyshoppingonlywhenitisnecessary.A．whyB．whereC．thatD．what答案：C解析：根据句子结构可知，

peoplecanwastelessfoodbyshoppingonlywhenitisnecessary作believe的宾语，因此是宾语从句，从句中成分、句意完整。That在名词性从句中不充当成分，也没有意义，因此选择C项。意为专家认为人们可以通过在必须的时候才购物的方式来减少浪费食物。Why作原因状语，意为为什么，where作地点状语，意为在那里，what作主语或者宾语或者表语。【考点定位】考察名词性从句（宾语从句)2.Tokeepfit,weshould______ahealthyeatinghabit.答案：D3.Thisistheonlyoneofthestudentswhosehandwriting_____thebest.

A.is

B.are

C.has

D.have答案：A4.“Ithinktheteacheriswrong,_____?”“No,Idon'tthinkso.”A．don'tyouB．don'tIC．doesn'theD．doesn'tshe答案：A解析：此题容易误选C或D，因为按照语法规则，Ithink后接宾语从句时，其反意疑问句与从句保持一致，但是退一步，即使按此规则，其反意疑问句也应是isn'the或isn'tshe之类的，而不是像C或D那样用doesn'the和doesn'tshe。综合四个选项，最佳答案为A，don'tyou为don'tyouthinkso之省略。【标签】反义疑问句5.Themurdererwasbroughtin,withhishands______behindhisback.A．tobetiedB．beingtiedC．tiedD．havingtied答案：C解析：本题又是一道独立主格结构中的省略考查。同样的方法，将原句恢复：“withhands（wherewere）tiedbehindhisback．”6.—Whichcountry_____thenextOlympicGames?

A．thatB．itC．asD．what答案：C解析：试题分析：9.Agoodfriendofminefrom

IwasbornshowedupatmyhomerightbeforeIleftforBeijing．A．howB．whomC．whenD．which答案：C解析：考查定语从句的引导词。本句中的主语是Agoodfriendofmine，谓语动词是showedup，中间fromwhenIwasborn为定语从句修饰friend，又因定语从句不缺成分，所以不用B和D，根据句意又排除A。10.＿＿＿＿＿hisface,theyoungmanmustbeover20.A．JudgedfromB．JudgedC．JudgingfromD．Judging答案：C11.HowIwishthatIcould______myideasinsimpleandwonderfulEnglishwhenchattingonthenet.A．setoutB．setoffC．setoverD．setup答案：A解析：setout意为“陈述，陈列，出发，开始”；setoff意为“出发，动身”；setover意为“移交，置于……上，指派……管理”；setup意为“设立，竖立，架起，升起，创(纪录)，提出”。12.单词拼写。1.Hec____workingasifnothinghadhappenedtohim.

inChina.答案：C49.------Flight302toLondon_______until7:30tomorrowmorning.

-----NowonderIhearsomanycomplaintsfromthepassengers.A．hasbeendelayedB．delayC．delayedD．willbedelayed答案：A解析：：确定首句时态的关键信息在于----NowonderIhearsomanycomplaintsfromthepassengers.既然听到了乘客的抱怨，说明航班已经被推迟。也就是说，推迟这一动作发生在过去且已对现在产生影响，所以用现在完成时。【标签】动词时态50.CathyistakingnotesofthegrammaticalrulesinclassatSunshineschool,whereshe____Englishforayear.A．studiesB．studiedC．isstudyingD．hasbeenstudying答案：D解析：考查时态的区别。题意为：凯西正在阳光学校的课堂上记录语法规则，她在这里学习英语已有一年的时间。由题干中得istakingnotes…可知她现在任然在sunshineschool上学，在这所学校学英语至今已一年有余，所以要用现在完成时态。卷II一.综合题(共50题)1.Shesaidthefunofreadingbookswasdifferentfrom______ofanyotherkind.

A.one

B.that

C.it

D.those

答案：B2.4.Occasionsarequiterare______Ihavethetimetospendadaywiththekids.A．whoB．whichC．whyD．when答案：D解析：此题中occasions为先行词，occasion本意为atimewhensomethinghappens，所以属于时间的范畴。而且后面的句子中缺少时间状语，所以应该用when连接。如果要用which，需要改写为onwhich才可以。3.Chinahasgotagood

forfightingagainstthefluwithitscarefulandsmoothorganization．A．reputationB．influenceC．impressionD．knowledge答案：A解析：句意：因为中国在防范水流感方面的认真和顺利的组织而使中国赢得好的名声。Influence影响；impression印象；knowledge知识。这时考的是therebe的句型。4.按每个小题后的要求做题，将答案写在题上。
