型，因此排除非不定式的选项B和D：其次省略时不能留do的尾巴，如果A选项后加it就是正确的。句意为“司机想把车停在路边，但是警察提醒他不可以”。故选C。34、—Wasitnotuntillastweek______hedecidedtogiveupsmoking?—No,hebegan______hesawthenewfilmlastmonth.A、when;assoonB、that;immediatelyC、did;thatD、that;till标准答案：B知识点解析：考查强调句和连词辨析。前者说“他不是上周才决定戒烟吗?”本句是itis(was)notuntil…that…强调句型，所以第一个空填that；后者说“不，他上个月刚看完新电影就开始(戒烟)了”，这里immediately是连词，表示“一……就……”。故选B。35、—Haveyoufoundtheinformationaboutfamouspeople______youcanuseforthereport?—Notyet.I’llsearchsomeontheInternet.A、whichB、whomC、whatD、who标准答案：A知识点解析：考查引导定语从句的关系词。第一句的意思是“你找到你要用在报告上的名人的信息了吗?”该句是一个定语从句，关系代词修饰先行词information，在从句中作use的宾语，所以由which引导。36、______isconsideredtobethebest-knownEnglishdramatistsinceShakespeare,andhisrepresentativeworksareplaysinspiredbysocialcriticism.A、RichardSheridanB、OliverGoldsmithC、OscarWildeD、BernardShaw标准答案：D知识点解析：考查英美文学。萧伯纳是英国现代最伟大的戏剧家和作家，被认为是继莎士比亚后最伟大的戏剧家。萧伯纳是西欧批判现实主义文学最杰出的代表之一，他以批判现实主义的鲜明风格留在人们的记忆中。萧伯纳在其很多作品中批判资本主义社会的罪恶，宣传社会主义，鼓吹超人思想。二、阅读理解(本题共15题，每题1.0分，共15分。)Today,peopleallovertheworldaremovingoutofsmallvillagesinthecountrytogoandliveinbig,noisycities.Theyaremovingfromthepeacefulhills,mountains,fields,riversandstreamsofthecountrysidetothebusyworldofstreets,buildings,trafficandcrowds.Thismovementfromruralareastourbanareashasbeengoingonforovertwohundredyears.Inmanycountries,themainreasonwhypeoplecometoliveintownsandcitiesiswork.Afteroneortwolargefactorieshavebeenbuiltinornearatown,peoplecometofindwork,andsoonanindustrialareabeginstogrow.Thereisusuallyaresidentialareanearby,wherethefactoryworkerscanlive.Thefamiliesoftheseworkersneedschools,hospitalsandshops,somorepeoplecometoliveintheareatoprovidetheseservicesandacitygrows.Ineverymajorcityintheworld,thereisabusinessdistrictwherethebigcompanieshavetheirmainoffices.IntheUnitedStates,thisareaisusuallyinthecitycentre.Itisherethatyoucanseethehugeskyscraperofficeblocks.Thepeoplewhoworkhereoftentravelalongwaytoworkeachday.Manyofthemliveinthesuburbsofthecity,farawayfromtheindustrialareaandthecitycentre.Somesuburbsareverypleasant,withnicehousesandbiggardens.Thereareusuallyparksforchildrentoplayinandlargedepartmentstoreswhereyoucanbuyallyouneed.Butwhatisthefutureofthebigcities?Willtheycontinuetogetbigger?Perhapsnot.Somemajorcitieshaveactuallybecomesmallerinthelasttenyears,anditisquitepossiblethatonedaywewillseepeoplemovingoutofthemajorcitiesandbackintosmallertownsandvillages.37、Wecaneasilyknowthattheunderlinedphrase"urbanareas"inthefirstparagraphmeans______.A、areasofthecountrysideB、areasofatownorcityC、areasnearthecountrysideD、areasnearatownorcity标准答案：B知识点解析：词义题。由第一段中“…people…aremoving…togoandliveinbig，noisycities．Theyaremoving…tothebusyworld…”可判断答案为B。38、Whydopeoplemovetoliveincitiesortowns?A、Becausetheycanlivemorecomfortablythere.B、Becausetheypreferanoisylifetoapeacefullife.C、Becausetheywanttofindwork.D、Becausetheyaresureofhavingabetterlifethere.标准答案：C知识点解析：细节题。由第二段第一句话“Inmanycountries，themainreasonwhypeoplecometoliveintownsandcitiesiswork”可知答案为C。39、Inaresidentialarea,youcansee______.A、rowsofhouses,schoolsandshopsB、manyofficesandfactoriesC、alotoffactoriesandfarmsD、manyhouseswithofficesandfactories标准答案：A知识点解析：细节题。由第二段最后两句“Thereisusuallyaresidentialareanearby，wherethefactoryworkerscanlive．Thefamiliesoftheseworkersneedschools，hospitalsandshops，somorepeoplecometoliveintheareatoprovidetheseservicesandacitygrows”可知答案为A。40、IntheUnitedStatesmanypeopleworkinthecentreofabigcity______.A、whilelivingonthefarawayedgeofthecityB、andlivethereC、butliveinanothercityD、butlivefarawayoutofthecity标准答案：A知识点解析：细节题。根据第三段第四、五两句话“Thepeoplewhoworkhereoftentravelalongwaytoworkeachday．Manyofthemliveinthesuburbsofthecity,farawayfromtheindustrialareaandthecitycentre”可知A项正确。"Youlooklikeyou'vehadatoothacheforthelastsixweeks,"saidNancy."AreyouOK?""Oh,sure.I'mjusttired,"Ilied,unwillingtoadmitthatmybecomingateacherwasamistakeandthatIdoubtedwhetherIwouldlastthatfirstyear,makingittoNovemberlookeduncertain.Duringthejobinterview,IimpressedtheprincipalandtheEnglishsupervisorwithconfidenceandenthusiasmevenwhentheyexplainedthatthestudentsassignedtomewouldbedifficultandtheprogramlackedbooks.Thesupervisorpromised,"Don'tworry,I'llmentoryou,we'llworktogether."Ontheeveofmyfirstday,mymentorhandedmeaboxofoldbooksandsaid,"Youmightfindsomethingusefulhere.Dorothy,I'msorry,I'veacceptedanotherjob.Iwon'tbeheretohelpyou."Sheheadedtoherofficetopack,leavingmesurprised.Teacherssaythefirstweeksareeasy,withstudentseagertomakeagoodimpression,butdayoneshockedme.Mystudents'glazedeyes,angryfacesandruderesponseshintedwewouldhavenohoneymoon.Still,Ibelievedmypositiveattitudewouldcarryme.Butitheldnosway(控制)overkidsbidingtheirtimeuntiltheycouldquitschoolforever.Ishoppedformotivationalstrategiesandeducatedmyselfonteachingat-riskchildren.Butthestrugglesonlyincreasedwithintwoweeks,alampinmythroat.OneSundayIwasreadingthefollowingwords,"Thejarofflourwillnotbeusedupandthejugofoilwillnotrundry.Sotherewasfoodeverydayforeveryone,"Inthosewords,Ifoundasignthattranslatedinto"Don'tworry.You’llmakeituntilJune."Atschool,thekidsandthejobdidnotchangethatmuch.ButIdid,as
