意为：火车无法开动，车厢里的人坐在黑暗中无能为力，什么事也做不了。incompetent意为“没有能力的,不能胜任的”;powerless意为“无能为力的”;hesitant意为“迟疑不决的”;helpless意为“无助的”。此处指人处于停电的环境中无能为力，什么事也做不了，因此答案为[B]。43.[D]句意为：电梯也停止工作，即使你足够幸运，没被困在两层楼之间，也得自己不愉快地步行下楼梯。although意为“虽然”;when意为“当……时”;as意为“像……一样”;evenif意为“即使，纵然”。通过分析上下文，此处填入evenif最合适。44.[D]句意同上。lock意为“把……锁起来”;place意为“放置”;position意为“把……放在适当的位置”;trap意为“困住，陷入困境”。根据上下文意思，此处应该选[D]。45.[C]句意同上。aflightofstairs是固定搭配，表示“(两个楼梯平台间的)一段楼梯”，本题中考查的是复数形式，故答案为[C]。46.[A]inaninstant是固定搭配，意为“瞬间，马上”，意思相当于immediately，故答案为[A]。inaminute意为“很快，马上”，一般用于将来时，不符合句意，故排除。47.[D]as…as…为固定搭配，表示“像……一样”，故答案为[D]。48.[A]句意为：人们害怕离开自己的房子，因为虽然警察被要求随时待命，以防突发事件，但他们也像其他人一样疑惑和无助。for表示原因，and表示并列关系，but表示转折，or表示选择。结合上下文，此处填入for最合适。49.[C]句意同上。standaside意为“避开”;standdown意为“从要职上退下”;standby意为“做好准备，待命”;standin意为“站立于，坐落于”。根据上下文分析，此处应该指警察处于待命状态，故答案为[C]。50.[A]句意同上。helpless意为“无助的”;aimless意为“漫无目的的”;unfocused意为“目光茫然的”;undecided意为“尚未决定的”。根据句意，此处应选[A]。PARTIVGRAMMARANDVOCABULARY51.Whenyouhavefinishedwiththatbook,don’tforgettoputitbackontheshelf,___C___?A.don’tyouB.doyouC.willyouD.won’tyou52.Maryis___A___hardworkingthanhersister,butshefailedintheexam.A.nolessB.nomoreC.notlessD.notso53.WhichofthefollowingstatementsisINCORRECT?答案：DA.Onlyoneoutofsixwerepresentatthemeeting.B.Tendollarswasstolenfromthecashregister.C.Eithermysisterormybrotheriswrong.D.Fivemilesseemlikealongwalktome.54.Whichoftheitalicizedpartsexpressesafuturetense?答案：BA.Myfriendteacheschemistryinaschool.B.I’llgiveittoyouafterIreturn.C.Whatisthematterwithyou?D.LondonstandsontheRiverThames.55.Itisnotsomuchthelanguage__D____theculturalbackgroundthatmakesthefilmdifficulttounderstand.A.butB.norC.likeD.as56.Thereisnodoubt___B___thecommitteehasmadetherightdecisiononthehousingproject.A.whyB.thatC.whetherD.when57.AllthePresident’sMen___A___oneoftheimportantbooksforscholarswhostudytheWatergateScandal.A.remainsB.remainedC.remainD.isremaining58.Ifyouexplainedthesituationtoyourlawyer,he___C___abletoadviseyoumuchbetterthanIcan.A.willbeB.wasC.wouldbeD.were59.Whichofthefollowingisastativeverb(静态动词)?答案：DA.DrinkB.CloseC.RainD.Belong60.Whichofthefollowingitalicizedpartsindicatesasubject-verbrelation?答案：CA.Themanhasalargefamilytosupport.B.Shehadnowishtoquarrelwithherbrother.C.Hewasthelastguesttoleave.D.Maryneedsafriendtotalkto.61.Thefollowingareallcorrectresponsesto“Whotoldthenewstotheteacher?”EXCEPT__B____?A.BobdiditB.BobdidsoC.BobdidthatD.Bobdid.62.WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECT?答案：DA.AnothertwogirlsB.FewwordsC.ThisworkD.Abitofflowers63.WhichofthefollowingitalicizedwordsdoesNOTindicatewillingness?答案：BA.Whatwillyoudowhenyougraduate?B.Theywillbehomebynow.C.Whowillgowithme?D.Whywillyougotherealone?64.Whenonehasgoodhealth,__C____shouldfeelfortunateA.youB.sheC.heD.we65.There__D____nothingmorefordiscussion,themeetingcametoanendhalfanhourearlier.A.tobeB.tohavebeenC.beD.being66.Twoofherbrotherswere__A__duringtheSecondWorldWar.A.calledupB.calledonC.calledforD.calledout67.Bottlesfromthisregionsell__C____atabout$50acase.A.entirelyB.totallyC.wholesaleD.together68.Theproductcontainsno__B____colours,flavours,orpreservatives.A.fakeB.artificialC.falseD.wrong69.Davisacceptedthedefeatinthesemi-finalwithgoodgrace.Theunderlinedpartisclosestinmeaningto___C___.A.cheerfullyB.wholeheartedlyC.politelyD.quietly70.__C____andbusinessleadersweredelightedatthedecisiontoholdthenationalmotorfairinthecity.A.CivilB.CivilizedC.CivilianD.Civic71.Thecitycouncilisplanningahugeroad-buildingprogrammetoeasecongestion.Theunderlinedpartmeans__B____.A.calmB.relieveC.comfortD.still72.Hisunfortunateappearancewasoffsetbyanattractivepersonality.TheunderlinedpartmeansallthefollowingEXCEPT___A___.A.improvedB.madeupforC.balancedD.compensatedfor73.Thedoctorsaidthatthegashinhischeckrequiredstitches.Theunderlinedpartmeans__D____.A.lumpB.depressionC.swellingD.cut74.Duringtheeconomiccrisis,theyhadtocutbackproductionand___A___workers.A.layoffB.layintoC.laydownD.layaside75.Theuniversityconsistentlyreceivesahigh__C____forthequalityofitsteachingandresearch.A.standardB.evaluationC.ratingD.comment76.Tomarkitsonehundredthanniversary,theuniversityheldaseriesofactivitiesincludingconferences,filmshows,etc.Theunderlinedpartmeans__B____.A.signifyB.celebrateC.symbolizeD.suggest77.Hisfertilemindkeepsturningoutnewideas.Theunderlinedpartmeans__C____.A.abundantB.unbelievableC.productiveD.generative78.Thelocalnewspaperhasa___B___of100,000copiesaday.A.spreadB.circulationC.motionD.flow79.Theseissueswerediscussedatlengthduringthemeeting.Theunderlinedpartmeans___D___.A.eventuallyB.subsequentlyC.lastlyD.fully80.Acoupleofyoungpeopleweregivingoutleafletsinfrontofthedepartmentstore.Theunderlinedpartmeans___A___.A.distributingB.handlingC.dividingD.ArrangingPARTVREADINGCOMPREHENSIONTextA81.Google’seyeglassesaresupposedto__B__.[A]improveourmemory[B]functionlikememory[C]helpusseefacesbetter[D]worklikesmartphones82.Accordingtothepassage,“cognitivehabits”refersto__A__.[A]howwedealwithinformation[B]functionsofhumanmemory[C]theamountofinformation[D]theavailabilityofinformation83.WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutSparrow’sresear
