D．Oh，that’sveryniceofyou参考答案：A13.From1902to1904,Picassopaintedaseriesofpictures________themaincolor1wasblue.A.which B.that C.where D.when参考答案：C【详解】考查定语从句。句意：从1902年到1904年，毕加索画了一系列以蓝色为主色调的作品。此处为定语从句，关系词指代先行词pictures并在从句中作地点状语，应该用关系副词where来引导，故C项正确。【点睛】解答定语从句关键分两步，一是找准先行词，二是确定关系词在从句中所作的成分，例如本题，分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词为pictures，从句中不缺主宾表，缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where而不用关系代词which或that来引导，而when引导定语从句时作时间状语，故C项正确。14.Manypeoplehavecometorealizethattheyshouldgoon

B.reminded

C.warned

D.advised参考答案：B考查动词的辨析。句意为“玛丽，我已经提醒约翰注意帮助你的承诺了。”remind…of…就……提醒(某人)，使(某人)想起……warn含有警告的意思。二、填空19.ThereweremanyproblemswhenpeoplefirstmovedintothecitiesintheUSandUK.Manylivedinbadconditionsinpoorhousing.Thegovernmentson

57．a考查冠词（固定搭配）。makealiving是固定搭配，指“谋生”的意思。故填a。

58．easier考查形容词。根据前面的“ManyintheUKbelievedthattheyhadamuchbetterchanceofimprovingthemselvesinthecity.”和后面的“theycouldgetbetterjobsandeducation.”可知，此处指更容易上升到中产阶级。故填easier。

59．if考查连词。句意：如果他们可以得到更好的工作和教育，他们从手工业者上升到中产阶级就会更容易。故填if。

60．and考查连词。both…and…是固定搭配，此处指“在大城市伦敦和在乡下”。故填and。

61．hasslowed考查时态和语态。根据时间状语“Overthelasttwogenerations”可知，本句时态要用现在完成时态，主语industrialization是抽象名词，谓语用单数，与谓语是主动关系。故填hasslowed。

62．about考查介词。beconcernedabout…是固定搭配，是“担心，忧虑”的意思。故填about。

63．where考查连词。本句运用了定语从句，先行词是avillage,smalltownorsmallholdingoutsideofthecity几个地点名词，引导词在定语从句中作地点状语。故填where。

64．Developments考查名词。此处缺少主语，指“交通运输的发展”，谓语mean是复数。故填Developments。

65．especially考查副词。此处是“尤其、特别”的意思，在句中作状语，用副词。故填especially。【备注】文章通过对居住在城市和乡村不同的看法，描述了城市和乡村的各自利弊。20.ThelifeandworkofMarieCurieMarieCurieisprobablythemostfamouswomanscientist___41___haseverlived.BorninPolandin1867,sheisfamousforherworkonradioactivity,andwastwicea___42___(win)oftheNobelPrize.Withherhusband,PierreCurie,andHenriBecquerel,shewas___43___
