六、作文题(1题)54.Directions:Forthispart,youarerequiredtowriteacompositionofabout100words.Yourwritingshouldbebasedonthetitleandoutlinegivenbelow.

ShouldCustomersBuyCut-priceProducts?

1.现在许多人都喜欢买打折商品；

2.而另一些人认为越是打折的商品越不能买；

3.你的看法

参考答案

1.A句意：工作干完之后,我们去海边度假了。本题考查介词复合结构的用法。介词复合结构是指：介词+宾语+宾语补足语结构,在句中可做状语或定语。其他选项不能选的原因如下：B误将介词with用作了连接词,其后跟了从句;C缺了助动词hadbeen;D则时态及语态都错了

2.C【翻译】在他终于意识到努力学习的重要性之前，将近三年的高中时光已经过去了。［考点］词义辨析Cuntil：直到；while：当……时；before：在……之前；sothat：为了。根据句意可知，选C。

3.B据报道，这种药物在投入市场之前进行了许多次试验。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】Bsb./sth.is/wassaid/announced/reported…+todo是固定句型，意为据说/据宣布/据报道……，某人/某事……。drug与give之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用不定式的被动形式。又因为give所表示的动作发生在isreported之前，所以应用不定式的完成被动式。故选B

4.C得知今年六月到八月间中国将派遣三名宇航员进入太空的消息，我们很兴奋。

［考点］同位语从句

【精析】C分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是一个同位语从句，是对news的解释说明,且从句成分完整，所以应用that引导，that在从句中不作任何成分,只起连接作用

5.C造成了这次事故的原因完全是个谜。

［考点］主语从句

【精析】C分析句子结构可知，was前是个主语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以应用连接代词what引导从句，并在从句中作主语。which含有选择意义；whether在从句中不作成分；why是连接副词，在从句中作原因状语，均不符合题意。故选C

6.C——打扰一下，女士，这附近有邮局吗？

——一直往前走，在第一个十字路口向右拐，然后你就会看到一个邮局。

［考点］情景对话

【精析】C本题考查的是日常交际用语。向不熟悉的人打听情况或提出请求时，一般用excuseme，其实质作用是引人注意，意为请问，劳驾，对不起，打扰一下。故选C

7.C大家普遍认为，比起任何其他的发明，互联网使人们变得更紧密。

［考点］状语从句

【精析】C本句为比较状语从句。选项B、D形式不对，可首先排除；A项比起任何发明，表示不准确，也可排除；C项比起任何其他的发明，符合题意。故选C

8.D如果你支付账单时有困难，请尽快告诉我。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】Dhavedifficultyindoingsth.为固定用法，意为在做……方面有困难，其中动名词作介词in的宾语，介词in可省略，所以空处应用paying。故选D。类似使用动名词作宾语的句型还有havetrouble/agoodtime（in）doingsth.等

9.D我想把我父母的问候传达给你和你的家人。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Dconfront:面对，遭遇；display:显示，表现；consult:查阅，商量，咨询；convey:传达，传递。根据句意，选D

10.C在经过了似乎无止境的等待之后，终于轮到他去面试了。

［考点］名词性从句

【精析】C分析句子成分可知，介词after之后缺少一个既能引导宾语从句又能在从句中作主语的连接代词。四个选项中只有what有这种用法，故选C

11.A

12.CC句意：我认为到了该采取严厉措施制止污染的时候了。虚拟语气题。Itishightime（that）…后的从句中应使用虚拟语气。这个句型的意思是到了……的时候了，从句谓语多用过去时，有时也用should+动词原形的形式，should不可省略，表示对现在事实的虚拟

13.D只有坦诚才能让你赢得朋友的信任与支持。

［考点］倒装句

【精析】Donly+状语位于句首时，后面句子的主语和谓语应部分倒装，即将情态动词、助动词、be动词放在主语之前。结合句意可知，句子应使用一般现在时。故选D

14.B在会议上，总裁说我们应该与那家高科技公司合作，这至关重要。

［考点］虚拟语气

【精析】B在Itis/wasvital/essential／necessary…+that从句结构中，It作形式主语，真正的主语是后面that引导的从句，且从句要用虚拟语气，即从句的谓语动词应用should+动词原形的形式，should可以省略。故选B

15.AA句意：直到最近我才了解了一些关于引导火箭的情况。倒装句型题。notuntil…（直到……才……）置于句首时，句子要部分倒装。根据句中的时间副词recently（最近，近来，表示时间点），可以判断动词应该用过去时，因此选择A。注意recently和完成时连用时表示时间的长度。例如：Ihaven’tbeensleepingwellrecently

16.D等今晚你的飞机着陆时，我在机场就已经等三个小时了。

［考点］动词时态

【精析】Dbythetime意为到……时为止，引导时间状语从句。根据句中的时间状语tonight并结合句意可知，在机场等待三个小时是发生在将来的持续性动作，所以要用将来完成进行时，表示将来某时、某事之前已经发生的动作，一直延续到将来某一时间。故选D

17.B玛丽没有说她什么时候回来，但是我相信她会回来吃饭的。

［考点］名词性从句

【精析】B分析句子结构可知，后面为宾语从句，作say的宾语。分句butIbelieveshe’llbebackfordinner暗含时间，再结合句意可知，应选B

18.C我想去国外工作来拓宽我的视野。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Cexpand:扩大，扩展，一般用于扩大阅读量，扩展业务、生意等；open:打开；broaden:增长（经验、知识等），开阔（视野等），broadenone’shorizons为常用搭配，意为开阔视野；extend:扩展，伸展。根据句意可知，选C

19.A这个年轻人上个月失业了，但是不久后他就在我的公司找到了一份新工作。

［考点］连词辨析

【精析】Abefore意为在……之前；while意为当……的时候；as意为当……的时候，由于；after意为在……之后，根据句意可知应选A。另itbenotlongbefore…也可以作为一个固定句型来理解，意为不久之后

20.B在失业的情况下，简再也不能像以前那样请朋友吃饭了。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Btreat:招待，treatsb.todinner意为请某人吃饭,符合题意。urge：竭力主张，强烈要求；attract：吸引；apply：应用，申请。故选B

21.AK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.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。

23.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。

【精析】C根据第一段第四句Hehadeverything:goodlooks,success,power,andalotofmoney.可知，他外表俊朗、功成名就，除了权势还有花不完的钱，所以选项A、B、D不符合题意。由第一段第五句和第二段第六句可知，他没有朋友也没有爱人，是个无情的商人。故选C

45.D［考点］推理判断题

【精析】D根据第二段第二句AsfarasIcanremember,myfriendsandIdidn'tfindoutwewere‘depressed',thatis,inlowspirits,untilwewerei
