六、作文题(1题)54.Directions:Forthispart,youarerequiredtowriteacompositionentitledBody-building.YoushouldbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegivenbelowandwriteitontheAnswerSheet.

1.近年来越来越多的人开始加入各种健身俱乐部或健身中心。

2.人们健身的目的有哪些。

3.你的看法

参考答案

1.D

2.A人们认为，在中国举办像俄罗斯年这样的重大活动肯定会有助于两国之间的友好关系。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Abigevent并不是特指，故应用不定冠词a修饰，而relationshipbetweenthetwocountries是特指中国与俄罗斯之间的友好关系，所以应用定冠词the来修饰。故选项A为正确答案

3.A考虑到各种因素，他的提议比你的提议更有价值。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】A分析句子结构可知，逗号之前为独立主格结构,作条件状语。根据句意可知，things和consider之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用consider的过去分词形式，表示被动

4.C解析：giveaway的意思是“赠送，泄露，抛弃”；keepaway的意思是“使离开，使缺席”；takeup的意思是“占据，接受，拿起”；useup的意思是“用完，耗尽”。只有C符合题意，句子的意思是：我们试图寻找一张能容纳七个人吃饭的桌子，但是这些桌子都被占了。

5.D——你要去看今晚的足球比赛吗？

——我希望我可以，但是我不得不去见一个客人。

［考点］冠词的用法

【精析】D根据句意可知，足球比赛是说话双方都知道的比赛，表示特指，所以第一个空应用定冠词the；一个客人表示泛指，因此第二个空应用不定冠词，visitor的发音是以辅音音素/v/开头的，所以用不定冠词a。故选D

6.D

7.C以防天气变化，请随身带件外套吧。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Cbecauseof:因为，由于；inspiteof:尽管，不管；incaseof:万一,如果发生，以防;butfor:要不是，如果没有。根据句意可知，选C

8.D我已经放弃说服他了；和他争论没有任何意义。

［考点］词语搭配

【精析】Dthereisnopointindoingsth.为固定句型，意为做某事没有意义。故选D

9.DD句意：迪克很忙，所以很少有时间去看电影；简也一样。倒装句型题。题干中空格处前面的句子有副词rarely，表示否定的概念，空格处要填的部分表示和前面提到的情况相同，因此要用代词nor引导倒装结构。故选D

10.D英语作为外语教学的第一本教科书出现在16世纪。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】D分析句子结构可知此处应为分词短语做定语修饰textbook，根据时间状语和谓语动词时态可知空处应为过去时，又因为textbook和动作write存在动宾关系，所以应选written用过去分词表过去、表被动，故选D

11.A埃德加生气地对老板说：你太以自我为中心了。是时候让你知道你并不是世界上最重要的人了。

［考点］虚拟语气

【精析】A在Itis（high）time…结构中，从句谓语动词常用过去式来表达虚拟语气，意为到做某事的时候了。故选A

12.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

13.AA句意：事实上，他们宁愿去北京也不愿意待在上海。固定搭配题。wouldrather…than…意为宁愿……也不……，是固定搭配。而且wouldrather和than连接的是两个并列谓语，因此，than后面的动词也用原形。故A为正确答案

14.C句意：这种态度就是不能被接受。近形词词义辨析题。选项A意为可适用的；选项B意为可接触的；选项C意为可接受的；选项D为动词resume的过去分词，意为重新开始，重新获得。根据句意可知答案为C

15.A［翻译］我很少见到父亲像现在这样因为我取得的进步而如此高兴。

［考点］固定搭配

均不符合句意

16.B在酒店住一天的花费是租一星期公寓的两倍。

［考点］倍数表达法

【精析】B常用的倍数表达法有：①A+谓语+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B；②A+谓语+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B。选项中B、D两项符合第一种，但花费是不可数名词，所以应用much修饰，而不用many。故选B

17.C他写东西的时候抽了很多烟。

［考点］动词时态

【精析】U根据句意可知，主句和从句都是对过去情况的描述。when引导的时间状语从句是一般过去时，所以主句也应用一般过去时。故选U

18.B

19.B我们一再强调戒烟的重要性，但他们几乎意识不到。

［考点］倒装句型

【精析】B表示否定意义的词或短语位于句首时，句子要用倒装，可先排除C、D项。根据句意可知，此处应用现在完成时，表示之前的动作对现在发生事情的影响。所以选B

20.C能够预测价格变化影响供求的程度是有用的。

［考点］词语搭配

【精析】Cto…extent是固定短语,表示程度，如：在某种程度上可用toacertainextent,tosomeextent表示,在很大程度上可用toagreat/largeextent表示。在本句中关系代词which指代extent,前置介词只能是to。英语中表示类似用法的还有：to…degree

21.KK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.B

25.E

26.C

27.D

28.D

29.C

30.C

31.D根据下句的回答可知，M是在询问衣服有什么颜色。故选D

32.C

33.A

34.并且，各个年龄段均有太多的人正在日复一日地做着并不明智的选择，这些人要么正在承受或将要承受这些选择带来的后果

35.Itiswellknownthatdiamondisthehardestsubstance

36.信心是确信你有能力实现自己的愿望，并充满信心地生活着。如果你足够专心、坚决和自信，那么任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你预想的那样，你有力量去改变它，并且你必须一步一步地去实现这些改变。有目标并且有计划地去生活。带着你的目标而奋斗，你就会拥有自己想要的生活

37.Smokingshouldbetotallyprohibitedinallthepublicplaces

38.我访问了不少地方，遇到了不少人，要谈起来，奇妙的事可多着呢

39.令我们宽慰的是，事实证明这项措施比预期更有效

40.A根据汉语可知句子主干是公司面临困难，我们不了解的作定语，综合起来A项翻译最佳。B项着重于yourcompanyisfacingsomedifficulties，与汉语句子的侧重点有偏颇。C项意思更接近于可能我们不知道你们公司正面临的困难。D项整个结构与汉语句子不相符

41.Incrowdedwatersorfog,theshipusesthesirenslikethoseusedbypolicecarsandambulances

42.BB根据句意可知，前后两句为因果关系。A项句子是并列关系，故排除A项；C项和D项将需求增长译为需求被增长，与题干意思不符。故选B

43.TedandWilliamhavelivedunderthesameroofforfiveyears

44.BB事实细节题。根据第三段第一句“Weallmakequickjudgmentsaboutstrangers.”可知，人们总是会快速对陌生人做出判断，所以A项正确；根据第一段第三句“Soon,Ninawasdoggedlypumpingmeforinformationaboutthenewdepartment…”可知，第一次见到我时，尼娜表达得咄咄逼人，所以C项正确；根据第一段第一句“WhenIfirstmetNina,Idislikedheratonce.”可知，第一次见到尼娜时，我就不喜欢她，所以D项正确。文中没有提及B项。故选B。

45.C［考点］事实细节题

【精析】C根据第二段第四、五句…hearrangedtoputonwasnotready…Hereadaplayofmineand,thoughhedidnotmuchlikeit…tilltheplayhehadinmindcouldbeprodu
