六、作文题(1题)44.WaterShortage

1.水资源短缺现象成为一个日趋严重的问题

2.造成这一现状的原因

3.可能的解决措施

参考答案

1.C当我听说妈妈下周末来看我的时候，我情不自禁开始等待她的到来了。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Ccouldn’thelpbutdosth.是固定搭配，意为情不自禁做某事，与couldn’thelpdoing同义。故选C

2.BBelectric:带电的,其修饰的物体本身可带电;electronic:电子的,和电子有关的,electroniccomputer为固定搭配,意为电子计算机;electrical:与电学有关的,其修饰的词本身并不带电;electricity:电力,电流。根据句意和搭配可知,选B

3.AA分析句子结构可知,空处引导的是表语从句，且在从句中作地点状语,只有where符合题意。故选A

4.B步行两小时后，我们停下来休息了十分钟。

［考点］名词的格

【精析】B有些表示时间、距离、国家、城市、团体、机构等无生命的名词后面也可加-’s或-’构成所有格。根据句意并结合选项可知，空处应用atenminutes’。atenminutes’rest意为十分钟的休息，相当于aten-minuterest。故选B

5.C

6.A那时我们除了等以外，什么都不能做。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】A在介词but,except,besides后跟不定式做宾语时，如果介词前有do及其变化形式时，不定式可省略to。选项中A、D均符合此用法，但but意为除了……，besides意为除了……还……。根据句意，选A

7.BB句意：如果我的睡眠好，我就能够解决这个问题。固定搭配。beabletodosth.是固定搭配，意为能够做某事；becapableofdoingsth.意为有能力做某事,能胜任某事

8.D我认为午餐不是聚餐的好时间，晚餐也不是。

［考点］倒装句

【精析】D如果前面分句中所述情况也适用于后面的分句，后面的分句常用so（肯定句）,neither或nor（否定句）引导倒装句。前面分句进行了否定前移，所以后面的分句应用neither或nor来引导倒装句。故选D

9.A天气非常热，我们下河去游泳了。

［考点］独立主格结构

【精析】A从句与主句主语不一致，且两句间无连词连接，因此从句要用独立主格结构，逻辑主语加现在分词表示主动

10.DD句意：他昨天早上办理了入住手续，将会停留3天。词义辨析。checkup:检查，核实；checkon:核实，检查；checkout:检验，结账离开；checkin:（在旅馆、机场等）登记，报到

11.GK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。

12.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。

13.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。

14.C

20.C

21.E

22.D

23.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

24.1.一个好的商标名可以帮助公司减少许多成本并带来丰厚的利润。

2.押韵和幽默可以引起人们的兴趣，但是还有一些引起兴趣的其他途径。

25.Myfathervalueshonestybeyondallthings

27.当他们到达地面时，他们迫不及待地给每个认识的人打电话，告诉他们自己刚刚从飞机上跳了下来

28.Heowedhisfailuretobadluckratherthanhislimitedcapacity

29.ItwasnotuntildarkthatIrealizeditwastoolatetovisithim
