六、作文题(1题)54.Directions:Forthispart,youarerequiredtowriteashortessayentitledIsFailureaBadThing?Youshouldwriteatleast100wordsfollowingtheoutlinegivenbelow.

（1）有人认为失败是坏事;

（2）有人认为失败是好事;

（3）你的看法

参考答案

1.AA句意：我们不怎么怀疑这个地区富含矿产资源。代词的用法。little表示少，具有否定含义，可用作副词修饰动词。little在句首时，句子要用部分倒装，符合题意，正常语序为wesuspectlittle（我们不怎么怀疑）

2.B句意：我从来没有想象到我们会遇到这么多的问题。倒装句型题。否定词never置于句首时，句子要用倒装语序，因此排除A和C；D项是过去完成时，imagine应为过去分词形式；唯有B项符合倒装结构，故选B

3.D赞助商同意只要我们不违反规定，他们就会支持我们。

［考点］状语从句

【精析】Daswellas：和……一样，也，常用来连接两个并列的成分；assoonas：一……就……，引导时间状语从句；asfaras：远至，在……的范围内，常用于结构asfarasIknow（就我所知），asfarassb./sth.beconcerned（就……而言）；aslongas：只要，引导条件状语从句。根据句意可知，选D

4.A让我们把这件事情付诸表决，不要再浪费我们的时间争论了，好吗？

［考点］反意疑问句

【精析】A以Let开头的祈使句有两种形式：Let’s和Letus。其中Let’s开头的祈使句的反意疑问句用shallwe;以Letus开头的祈使句的反意疑问句用willyou。故本题选A

5.A船长不愿意交出船的指挥权。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Ahandover：移交，交出；handin：上交；handout：分派，分发；handon：传递。根据句意可知，选A

6.C活到老，学到老。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】CIt’snevertoolatetolearn是一句谚语，意为活到老，学到老。故选C

7.D目前还不知道他在采访期间说了什么。

［考点］名词性从句

【精析】D分析句子结构可知，句中的it为形式主语，known之后的主语从句为真正的主语。空格处须填入一个关系代词，充当said的宾语。综合考虑上述因素，应选what

8.C身体健全的人真的很难理解残疾人找工作的困难。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】C本题考查Itis+adj.+for/ofsb.todosth.这一句型。如果形容词表示事物的特征,介词用for；如果形容词表示人的品质,介词用of。此处difficult表示事物的特征。故选C

9.A我记得离开家时，把门锁上了。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】Arememberdoingsth.意为记得做过了……;remembertodosth.意为记得去做某事（还未做）。根据句意可知，选A

10.B我认为你不可能一个人在如此短的时间内刷完栅栏，是吗？

［考点］反意疑问句

【精析】B在反意疑问句中，若陈述部分是Idon'tthink（that）…的主从复合句，反意疑问部分应与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致。因为think前的否定词是从宾语从句中前移过去的，所以反意疑问句部分要用肯定形式canyou。故选B

11.B我没有听到他说的话，因为在我坐的地方有太多噪音。

［考点］宾语从句

【精析】B分析句子结构并结合选项可知，空处是宾语从句。宾语从句要用陈述语序，排除选项A、C。又因他所说的在didn'thear之前发生，故要用过去完成时，表示发生在过去的过去。故选B

12.AA句意：样品质量良莠不齐，但大体上来说是可以接受的。词义辨析题。vary作不及物动词时，意为变化，有不同，表示一组类似的事物（大小、形状等）相异，不同，有差别；change意为改变，交换；disagree意为不同意，不一致；exchange意为交换，交易。根据句意选A最合适

13.A有些人似乎让他们的孩子做任何他们想做的事情。

［考点］名词性从句

【精析】A分析句子结构可知，此处缺少引导宾语从句的连接词，且该词在从句中作like的宾语，符合条件的只有A项

14.C由于你们公司所提供的条件我不能接受，所以我只得婉拒。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Ccapable：有能力的，能够做的；available：可用的，可获得的；acceptable：可接受的；comfortable：舒适的。根据句意可知，选C

15.D正如大家期待的那样，代表们提出了许多建议。

［考点］定语从句

【精析】D本题考查as引导的非限制性定语从句。as作为关系代词，指代整个主句的内容，意为正如，正像。故选D

16.D虽然史密斯一家搬走了，我们还是可以经常见到他们。

［考点］状语从句

【精析】Daslongas：只要；asfaras：就……而言；asthough：好像；eventhough：尽管。根据句意，本题应该用eventhough引导让步状语从句。故选D

17.DD句意：以保护环境的名义，这家化工厂被拆除了。词义辨析题。inspiteof：不管，不顾；inhonorof：为了向……表示敬意，为庆祝……，为纪念……；infavorof：赞同，支持；inthenameof：用……的名义，代表……。故选D

18.A当你开车穿过加利福尼亚州的红杉林时，你将会穿梭于超过百年历史的树木之间。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Abeamong:位于……之间；beagainst:反对；bebehind:在……后面；bebehind:在……下面。根据句意可知，选A

19.B每种方法都尝试过了，但都不是那么有效。

［考点］主谓一致和动词语态

【精析】Bmeans意为方法，手段时，为可数名词。every+单数可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，所以排除A、C两项。根据句意可知，means和try之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用被动语态。故选B

20.C盯着被烧毁的房子，他弄不明白火是怎样烧起来的。词义辨析题。bringout:使显现，使表现出；turnout:生产，制造，结果是，证明是；figureout:弄懂，弄明白；pickout：精心挑选。根据句意可知，C为正确答案

21.FK根据空后的名词短语15years可知，空处应填介词。符合要求的选项有C、K。句意：15年来，来自伦敦大学学院的专家们一直在调查超过6,700名英国人的生活方式。故选K。

22.JA.studied（v.学习，研究）B.continuing（v.继续，持续）C.by（prep.通过）D.who（pron.引导定语从句）E.whose（pron.引导定语从句）F.improve（v.改进，改善）G.truth（n.事实，真相）H.ignored（v.忽视，不予理睬）I.recently（adv.最近，不久前）J.those（pron.那些）K.for（prep.表示一段时间）L.less（adv.更少，较少）J分析句子结构可知，空后的who引导一个定语从句，空处为其先行词，所以空处应填指人的名词或代词。符合要求的选项只有J。those在此处指代上文中的people，此处表达的是“不去（音乐会、演出和博物馆）的那些人”。故选J。

23.HH分析句子结构可知，空处应填引导词，引导一个定语从句，修饰指人的先行词friends。符合要求的选项只有H。句意：学生在上大学时可以学习并交到将持续一生的朋友。故选H。

24.E

25.D

26.C

27.F由前半句我想到非常古老的房子，一切都没有改变可推知，空处应该和前面表示相近的意思，或者由下面的ThecinemainBrentwoodactuallycloseddown…也可知，只有选项F符合语境

28.D

29.E由前一句想见生产经理以及空处前面的句子Iamsorry可知，史密斯先生不在。故选E

30.A

31.E

32.B

33.A由空前的Iplayedvolleyball.（我打排球。）及男生的提问Whatpositiondidyouplay?（你打什么位置？）可知，空处应是女生表示对排球的喜爱。故选A。Iwouldhavetosayvolleyballismyfavorite.意为我不得不说排球是我最喜爱的运动

40.Thereisnodoubtthatwhatwearedoinghelpssocialdevelopment

41.D首先应确定该句中几个关键词组的意思。就……而言，谈及……译为Asfaras…isconcerned；位列前三译为amongthetopthree。由这两个词组便可判定C、D两项优于A、B。A、B两项相比，一样好asgoodas略好于远胜于farbetterthan，故A项强于B项的译文。C项错译了amongthetopthree,故D项最佳

42.直到最近，语言学家才开始认真研究与他们自己拥有的完全不同的其他语言

43.这个图表使我们能更加清楚地了解当今学生们的课余活动情况
