D.willbelost答案：D3.—WhatshouldIdowiththispassage?

—_____themainideaofeachparagraph.A．FindingoutB．FoundoutC．FindoutD．Tofindout答案：C解析：此题极易误选A。认为是动名词短语作do的宾语。其实我们把该答案代入原文，便发现不行。因为dofindingout…是绝对不能搭配的。其实此题应选C。考查祈使句。此句话的汉语意思是：－我应该怎么处理这段文章？－归纳出每段的中心思想。4.Ifyouwishfor_____explanation,youhadbetterapplyinpersontothechiefofpolice.

30.A解析：21.由接下去的两句话“大多数人都要寻求回报”“我也是这样的”可知，此处意为只有付出，不求回报是“很难”做到的。22.

由最后一段中的tospendonastranger也可得到启示。23.

跟着一部摄影机，自然是用来“纪录”他们是如何用这笔钱的。24.

指在这人群中有两姐妹显得特别“耀眼或突出(standout)”。其它选项：standup站起来，standby袖手旁观，standfor象征。25.

是“Mysister’sHouse”的同位语，指帮助受虐妇女儿童的“庇护所(shelter)”。26.

指前文puttheirmoneytogether，应为combinetheirmoney。27.通过她们宣传后，人们打电话来“捐赠(donate)”钱物等。28.

与前文often对应，指我经常期待从别人处获取但却很少付出。29.

由后文becauseasmileiscontagious可知，此处指我对不认识的人“微笑”。30.

指这就是一种回报，用rewarding。awarding的意思是“授予，给予”。10.Hedoesn'treadtheEnglishtextveryoften.______hehasfailedagain.答案：D11.-------JohnandIwillcelebrateourfortiethweddinganniversarynextmonth.

A.Apublicrequestandanewspaperreport.

B.Anewspaperarticleandareplytoit.

C.Twopartsofanewspaperarticle.

D.Twonewspaperreports.答案：1-4DBCB解析：1．这是一道主旨题。第一个短文是一个新闻，介绍了马戏团出现了老虎袭击训兽狮后被击毙的悲剧，从而说明动物进入马戏团是悲惨不幸的，号召人们保护马戏团的动物，选D.2．这是一道推理题。根据第一段中“Asthecircuspackedupandleft,circusofficialssaidtheshowwouldgoon,evenwithouttigers.”说明马戏团还将继续演出，选B.3．这是一道细节推断题。根据“Tous,theperforminganimalsarerepresentativesoftheirspecies,andourcircusisoneoftheonlyplacesleftwillingtosupportthisspecialroleofperforminganimalsintheexistenceofthespecies.”所以马戏团认为他们保护了表演动物的物种。4．这是一道推理题。根据两篇文中的内容，第一个是说马戏团里的动物生活悲惨，第二个说马戏团认为他们保护了动物。两篇文中针锋相对，第一篇显然是新闻，而第二篇是针对第一篇的反击C15.短文改错。

此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右

边横线上画一个勾(√)；如有错误(每行只有一个错误)，则按下列情况改正：

该行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(/\)，在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。

该行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边的横线上写出改正后的词。

注意：原行没有错的不要改。Howshouldyoudowhenyourparentsbecomeangry?

答案：A33.ThesewildflowersaresospecialthatIwoulddo____Icantosavethem.A．whateverB．thatC．whichD．whichever答案：A解析：考查名词性的引导词。题意是：这些野花太特别了，我想尽我所能拯救它们。句中do后是一个宾语从句，Ican后承前省略了谓语动词do,tosavethem是目的状语。可以看出宾语从句Icando不完整，缺少宾语成分，所以引导词要用关系代词what或whatever.人们常把dowhat/whateversbcantodosth当承一个句式，意为“尽力去做某事”。故答案为A.34.Manypatientswhodon’twanttotelltheirdoctorhowmuchtheyreallydrinkareoftenmorehonestwithacomputer.Thecomputer__31__(use)forthispurposeisprogrammedtobefriendly.Forexample,ifapatientcalledAnnsaysthat__32__herparentsaredead,thecomputerwillsay:“I’msorrytohearthat,Ann.”Apartfromexpressingsympathy,thecomputer__33___alsoquestionandremind.Ifapatientsayshe__34__drinksalcohol,thecomputercanaskhim,“Never?NotevenatpartiesoratChristmas?”Doesthisdirectcontact__35__thepatientandthecomputermeanthatwedonotneeddoctorsanymore?

34.never由下文电脑的问话Never?可知。35.between指在病人和电脑这两者之间。36.because因后一分句与前一分句之间是因果关系。37.a表示“每一”。38.as引导非限制性定语从句，表示“正如……的”。39.iscrying医生应当在病人“正在哭时”，递给她手巾。40.why因前面已讲清了原因，要引出结果，用“Thatiswhy…(表语从句表示结果)”。35.Nineintenparentssaidthereweresignificantdifferencesintheirapproachtoeducatingtheir
