WelearnedthatColumbushasdiscoveredAmericain1492.A.haddiscoveredB.discoversC.discoveredD.wasdiscovering正确答案：C[解析]本句是个主从复合句；主句用的是一般过去时，除一些特殊情况(如：客观真理总用一般现在时)外，主从句应遵守时态一致的原则，因此排除选项B；根据句意，哥伦布发现美洲(新大陆)不是当时正在做的工作，因此排除选项D；选项A是过去完成时，选项C是一般过去时，两者均表过去的动作，但一般过去时表示的是相对于现在的过去时间，而过去完成时表示的是相对于过去某一时刻的过去，即过去的过去；从句中有一个表示过去时间的状语，所以C是答案。

2.

4.

5.

Theproject,whichwillbeaccomplishedbytheendof2008,willexpandthecity'stelephonenetworktocoveronemillionusers.A.accomplishedB.beingaccomplishedC.havingbeenaccomplishedD.tobeaccomplished正确答案：D[解析]原句中which引导的非限定性定语从句不能和bytheendof2008连用，四个选项中只有动词不定式可表将来，如果不定式动作与谓语动作同时发生，要用一般式；且不定式的逻辑主语在此是不定式所表示动作的承受者，因此要用被动式；因此D为答案。

6.

Properlightingisanecessaryforgoodeyesighteventhoughhumannightvisioncanbetemporarilyimpairedbyextremeflashesoflight.A.needfulB.necessityC.exigencyD.need正确答案：B[解析]本句意为：视力好需要有合适的照明，尽管人类的夜视偶尔会被极端的(过明或过暗)灯光的闪现削弱。所填之词在句中作表语，又由a限定，应填名词；因此排除选项A，因是形容词，表示：必要的，需要的；其余三个选项均为名词：B．necessity必要性，需要，必需品(指为了生存所必需的)；C．exigency苛求，紧急(事件)；D．need需要，必需，必需品(指需要某事或某物，尤其是它们还没发生或还无法利用)；因此B为答案。

7.

9.

Peoplewhosepropertyisstolenshouldreporttothepolice.A.hadstolenB.isbeingstolenC.hadbeenstolenD.hasbeenstolen正确答案：D[解析]本句意为：丢失了东西的人(东西被偷的人)应报告警察。因为东西已经被偷，应用完成时的被动语态，又因是泛指，所以应是现在完成时的被动语态；答案为D。

15.

19.

Thephase"blownaround"underlinedinParagraph1isclosestinmeaningto______.A.discussB.walkaroundC.doubtD.visit正确答案：A[解析]根据文中第一段的内容“whichhave，quiteliterally，alreadyblownaroundtheUKinJanuaryof2007”可知，在2007年一月讨论英国的情况。选项中的A项为“探讨，讨论”符合文意。B项“绕…走”，C项“质疑”，D项“参观”，这三项均不符合题意。

2.

Itcanbeinferredthat"Isis"and"Goldie"arethenamesoftwo______.A.placesB.teamsC.racesD.clubs正确答案：B[解析]根据文中第一段的“OxfordandCambridgeUniversityBoatClubs．”和第二段的“OnesetwillbeintheBlueBoatforeachclubandonesetwillraceasreservesinIsis，forOxford，andGoldie，forCambridge．”可以推断出，Isis和Goldie是划船俱乐部两个队的名称，所以应该选择B。A项“地名”，C项“赛事名称”，A、C从两个单词出现的位置可以看出和地名、比赛名称没有关系；D项“俱乐部名称”，俱乐部名称是牛津大学和剑桥大学俱乐部，所以D不正确，所以这三项都不符合题意。

3.
