参考答案

1.Phonetics

1.【答案】A

2.【答案】c

3.【答案】B

4.【答案】D

5.【答案】B

II,VocabularyandStructure

6.【答案】D

【考情点拨】考查固定搭配。

【应试指导】句意：晚饭后，乔纳森和乔离开了房子去散步。go

forawalk是固定用法，意为“出去走走，去散步"，与takeawalk

同义。

7.【答案】D

【考情点拨】考查疑问词的用法。

【应试指导】句意：他指着那辆新轿车问道：“那辆车是谁的？

你以前见过吗？"疑问代词whose用来询问物品的所有者。意为“谁

的（东西）"。why为什么；where哪里;who谁。

8.【答案】B

【考情点拨】考查人称顺序。

【应试指导】句意：我的父亲叫我和汤姆帮他干活。单数人称并

列时，顺序为“第二人称，第三人称，第一人称"；复数人称并列时,

顺序为“第一人称，第二人称，第三人称"。此处为单数人称并列作

宾语，故选Tomandme。

9.【答案】C

【考情点拨】考查主谓一致。

【应试指导】句意：如今，知识匮乏似乎的确是一件危险的事。

由句首的nowadays可以判断，该句的时态为一般现在时，故排除B

项。littleknowledge表示的是否定意义，是不可数名词，故谓语

动词要用单数，故排除A项和D项。does在这里是助动词，表示强

调。

10.【答案】A

【考情点拨】考查if引导的条件状语从句。

【应试指导】句意：如果他们的营销团队取得成功，那么他们的

利润将增加20%。if引导的条件状语从句可以分为两类：真实条件句

和虚拟条件句。当假设情况发生的可能性很大时，就是真实条件句；

当假设不大可能实现时，就是虚拟条件句。根据句意，本句所表述的

是客观情况，所以为真实条件句。从句中使用的时态为一般现在时，

故主句应使用将来时，故选A。

11.【答案】B

【考情点拨】考查连词词义辨析。

【应试指导】句意：你最好带上这些文件，以防会议中你会用到。

inease可引导目的状语从句，意为“以防，以备"，sothat也可

引导目的状语从句。意为“以便，为了"，所以incase符合题意。

utiless除非;until直到。

12.【答案】D

【考情点拨】考查副词词义辨析。

【应试指导】句意：我以前没有去过流行音乐节，迈克也没有去

过。t00和alsO表示“也”时用于肯定句和疑问句;neither用作副

词时意为“两者都不”，放在句首，表示前面否定的内容也适用于另

一个人或物，句子须采用部分倒装;either作副词时也可表示“也”，

用于否定句，一般位于句末。

13.【答案】A

【考情点拨】考查定语从句。

【应试指导】句意：众所周知，马克•吐温是一位伟大的美国作

家。as在该句中引导非限定性定语从句。在从句中作主语。

14.【答案】C

【考情点拨】考查形容词词义辨析。

【应试指导】句意：约翰向书店老板投诉，说字典中缺少了好几

页。missin9意为"缺失的"，符合题意。lacking缺乏的；losing

失败的;dropping掉落的。

15.【答案】c

【考情点拨】考查notuntil引导的时间状语从句。

【应试指导】旬意:直到比赛开始他才到达运动场。notuntil

引导时间状语从句时主句要部分倒装。从句中的时态为过去完成时，

故主句中的时态应为一般过去时，故选C。

16.【答案】c

【考情点拨】考查主语从句引导词。

【应试指导】句意：常看电影的人知道许多特效都是通过电脑制

作出来的。但他们往往不知道的是制作这些场景还需要投入大量的工

作。分析句子结构可知，空格所在从句在整个句子中充当主语，从句

中缺少宾语，且宾语指的是事而非人，故选C。

17.【答案】A

【考情点拨】考查名词词义辨析。

【应试指导】句意：总统将在开幕式上做正式讲话。giveaspeech

为固定搭配,意为“发表讲话，做演讲二debate辩论,争论;discussion

讨论;argument论点，争论。

18.【答案】B

【考情点拨】考查形容词词义辨析。

【应试指导】句意：当我遇到这些问题时，我头脑一片空白，我

甚至记不起自己的生日。one'Smindgoesblank是固定表达，意

为“头脑一片空白"。faint模糊的;dark黑暗的：blind盲目的。

19.【答案】A

【考情点拨】考查动词词义辨析。

【应试指导】句意：如果他们愿意借给我们那笔我们需要的钱的

话，我们的一切问题都将迎刃而解。solveproblems为固定表达，

意为"解决问题"。caused引起;covered覆盖;met遇到。

20.【答案】D

【考情点拨】考查动词短语辨析。

【应试指导】句意：这篇文章呼吁人们多关注文化冲突的问题。

callsfor意为“呼吁，提倡”,符合题意。caresfor关心，照顾;allows

for考虑到；appliesfor申请，请求。

III.Cloze

21.【答案】c

【考情点拨】固定搭配题。

【应试指导】此处表示“是否还有其他因素在起作用"，atwork

意为“（因素）在起作用"，符合题意。

22.【答案】D

【考情点拨】词义辨析题。

【应试指导】空格后that引导的同位语从句意为

“一些人似乎被赋予了特殊的创造力”,这是一个客观事实，fact

意为"事实"，符合题意。issue发行，议题;problem问题;reason

原因。

23.【答案】c

【考情点拨】词义辨析题。

【应试指导】由前一句中的转折连词while可知，该句与上句应

是转折关系，上句说“虽然一些人似乎被赋予了特殊的创造力”，所

以此处应表示“但是研究表明任何人都能增加他们想出新点子的机

会"，increase意为"增加"，符合题意。miss错过;reduce减少；lose

失去。

24.【答案】B

【考情点拨】理解推断题。

【应试指导】前文说“研究表明任何人都能增加他们想出新点子

的机会“，此处应指增加这种机会应具备的条件，故应选if,引导

条件状语从句。

25.【答案】A

【考情点拨】词义辨析题。

【应试指导】此处表示增加想出新点子的机会的条件，所以“如

果在创造的过程中全身心投入，不断尝试的话”，就会增加想出新点

子的机会。creation意为"创造"，符合题意。practice实践：

production生产；achievement成就。

26.【答案】A

【考情点拨】语法结构题。

【应试指导】此处意为“探索就是99%的汗水加1%的灵感”。引

号中的内容位于介词about之后，故本空应填be动词的非谓语形式,

故选Ao

27.【答案】D

【考情点拨】理解推断题。

【应试指导】根据空格后的greatcreativebreak一throughs、

intenseperiodsofstruggle可知。此处表示的观点与前文一致，

即研究一次又一次证明创造力离不开艰苦奋斗。timeandagain意

为“屡次，再三”，符合题意。soonerorlater）迟早；somedayorother

总有一天；everynowandthen不时地，常常。

28.【答案
