a

science

exhibition，在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语，所以用where引导；第二个空先行词为

a

spider

，在定语从句中做主语，所以用which或that引导。故选B。【点睛】做定语从句题时：我们可先将不是关系代词或关系副词的选项去掉，然后采用"代入原则"并同时结合定语从句的关系词之间的相关区别来进行解题，所谓"代入原则"就是试着把先行词即被定语从句修饰限制的那个词放进从句中，能直接代入的就用关系代词（不包括whose），不能直接代入的可能有三种情况，要么用关系副词，要么用介词加关系代词which或whom，要么就用关系代词whose。例如本题，第一空，使用代入法，不能直接代入，就用关系副词where；第二空格，可以直接代入，就工关系代词that或者which。4.Ihavenofearoftheclouds,______mayblockmysight,asIamalreadyatthetopoftheheight.A.as B.that C.which D.where【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：我不怕云彩挡住我的视线，因为我已经在高处了。分析句子可知，____mayblockmysight是定语从句，先行词为the

clouds，在非限制性定语从句中做主语，指物，所以用which引导。故选C。5.Occasionsarequiterare______Ihavethetimetospendadaywithmykids.A.when B.that C.which D.what【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：让我有时间和我的孩子们相处一天的机会非常少。根据句意看出是定语从句，此题为分隔式定语从句，occasions是先行词，所选关系词在定语从句中要作时间状语，故可排除其他选项。when此处为关系副词，引导定语从句，修饰先行词occasions，when在从句中作时间状语。故选A。6.YoumusthavewatchedthemilitaryparadeonOctober1st,______?A.mustn’tyou B.haven’tyou C.haveyou D.didn’tyou【答案】D【解析】【详解】本题考查反义疑问句。句意：你一定看了十月一日阅兵仪式，是吗？本题考查反义疑问句。反义问句的基本结构是"陈述句+简略疑问句？"，疑问句中的主语和助动词与陈述句一致；当陈述句含推测的情态动词时，疑问句中的助动词的判断方法是"去掉表示推测的情态动词，将句子还原"；本句还原为"YouwatchedthemilitaryparadeonOctober1st"，根据时间October1st可知是对过去的事情的肯定推测，此时需要用与对应的过去时间所表达的事实一样的反意疑问句形式．所以用didn'tyou。故选D。【点睛】must表示推测时的反义疑问句解题策略：1、当must用来表示对现在的情况进行推测时，问句通常要根据must后面的动词采用相应的形式。例如：Itmustbelate，isn'tit？天一定黑了，是吗？2、当must+havedone表示对过去的情况进行推测（一般句中有明确的过去时间状语），问句要根据陈述部分谓语的情况用"didn't+主语"或"wasn't/weren't+主语"；如果强调动作的完成（一般没有明确的过去时间状语），问句要用"haven't/hasn't+主语"。例如：1）Itissixo'clock．Shemusthaveehome，didn'tshe？现在是六点，她一定到家了，是吗？2）Youmusthavetoldheraboutit，haven'tyou？你一定把这事告诉她了，是吗？7.Iinsistedhe______backthewallettothelady,butheinsistedhe______it.A.handed;didn’tsteal B.hand;hadn’tstolenC.hand;notsteal D.handed;hadn’tstolen【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查insist用法。句意：我坚持说他应该把钱包还给那个女士，他坚持认为他没有偷。insist后跟宾语从句分两种情况，一，表示坚持要做某事(未做)insist+that从句(主语+should+动词原形)should可省也可以不省,但要记住动词一定要用原形,这是一种虚拟语气。二，但如果表对已经发生过的事的一种看法,(注意;是对已经发生过的事)则使用正常时态。根据句意可知，故选B项。8.Withalotofdifficultproblems________,thenewlyelectedpresidentishavingahardtime.A.settled B.settlingC.tosettle D.beingsettled【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于许多困难的问题要解决，新当选的总统日子很不好过。动词不定式tosettle作定语表示现在或将来要解决的难题；过去分词settled作定语表示已经解决的难题；现在分词的被动式beingsettled作定语表示正在被解决的难题。所提供的语境thenewlyelectedpresidentishavingahardtime说明新任总统现在和将来都有难以解决的问题，所以要用tosettle作定语。故选C项。【点睛】with结构是许多英语复合结构中最常用的一种。学好它对学好复合宾语结构、不定式复合结构、动名词复合结构和独立主格结构均能起很重要的作用。with结构：with+宾语（名词或代词）+宾补（介词短语，形容词，副词现在分词，过去分词，不定式）,是一个独立主格结构，在句中做状语，可表原因，伴随等。Theteachercameinwithabookinhishand.老师手里拿着一本书进来了。Withalotofworktodo,Ihavenotimegooutwithyou.(不定式表将来动作)有许多工作要做，我没时间和你一起出去。Wefoundthehouseeasilywiththelittleboyleadingtheway.(现在分词表示主动动作，即分词所表示的动作是由with后的宾语发出来的)Withallthethingssheneededbought,shewenthomehappily.(过去分词表示被动，with后面的宾语与过去分词之间是被动关系)9.Youcan’tpredicteverything.Oftenthingsdon’t______asyouexpect.A.runout B.workout C.breakout D.putout【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：你不可能能预测一切事情，事情经常不会像你预料的那样发展。A.runout用完；B.workout发展，计算出；C.breakout爆发；D.putout熄灭，出版。workout“发展，计算出”符合句意。故选B。10.—Hemustbecrazytospendallthatmoneyonacar.—Yes,he’s!A.outofhismind B.awetblanketC.playinggames D.agreenfinger【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查情景交际及习惯用语。句意：他一定是疯了，把所有钱都花在汽车上了。是的，他是疯了!A.outofhismind发疯的；B.awetblanket扫兴的人或物；C.playinggames玩游戏；D.agreenfinger园艺能手。由“becrazy和Yes”可知，outofhismind“发疯的”符合句意。故选A。第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ItwasanormalMondaymorningatanassembly,andtheoldheadmasterwasgivingthestudentsaspeechaboutimportantthingsinlifeandabout___11___ourselvestowhatisimportanttous.Thisis___12___thestorywent:AnoldmanlivedinacertainpartofLondon,andhe___13___wakeupeverymorningandgotothe___14___,wherehegotthetrainrighttoCentralLondon,andthensatatthestreetcorner,___15___.Hedidthiseverysingledayofhislife.Hesatatthesamestreetcornerandbeggedforalmost20years.Hishousewasdirty,anditsmelled___16___.Theneighborscouldnot___17___thesmellanymore,sotheyaskedthepoliceofficersto___18___theplace.Theofficersknockeddownthe___19___andcleanedthehouse.Thereweresmallbagsof____20____alloverthehousethathehad____21____overtheyears.Thepolicecountedthemoney,andtheysoonrealizedthattheoldmanwasa____22____.Theywaitedoutsidehishouseexpectingtosharethegoodnewswithhim.Whenhearrivedhomethatevening,hewasmetbyoneoftheofficerswhotoldhimthattherewasnoneedforhimtobeganymore____23____hewasarichmannow.Hesaid____24____atall;hewentintohishouseandlockedthedoor.Thenextmorninghewokeupasusual,wenttothestreetand____25____tobeg.____26____,thisoldmanhadnogreatplans,dreamsoranythingimportantforhislife.Welearnnothingfromthisstoryotherthanstaying____27____thethingsweenjoydoing.Weshouldremaintruetoourcourse,whichmaymeandevotingyourselvestothingsthatpeoplearoundyoumaydisapprove.Letnothingpreventusfrombeinghappy,letnothingelsedecideourfate(命运),but____28____.Whatmakesushappyiswhat____29____intheend…notwhatwegain.ThisparticularstoryisonesuchlessonthatIwillneverforget.EverytimeIdon’tfocusoncourses,I____30____myselfofthisstory.11.A.attracting
