11、Those（）havereadmorebooksabouttechnologycanhaveabetterunderstandingofthispassage,(1分)A、whoB、whomC、thatD、whose正确答案选项：参考答案：A解析考查定语从句。句意为：“那些读了更多关于科技的书的人可以更好地理解这篇文章。”分析句子结构可知，本句是一个定语从句，先行词those指人，在从句中作主语，是that的复数形式，所以为了避免重复，关系词用who而不用that。故选A。

14、TheForeignMinistersaid,“_________ourhopethatthetwosideswillworktowardspeace.”

(1分)A、ThisisB、ThereisC、ThatisD、Itis正确答案选项：参考答案：D解析外交部长说：＂双方和平合作是我们的希望＂.根据题干分析可知，引号里句子的主语为＂thatthetwosideswilworktowardspeace＂，如果放在句子开头会使句子失去平衡，＂头重脚轻＂,为避免这种情况，借助it做形式主语，构成句型＂Itis+n/adj,+that…”，如：Itis

possible/likely/necessarythat…;Itisourduty/ourbeliefthat…在名词性从句中，that既无词义，也不作句子成分，连接一个句子成分完整的陈述句。根据句意和句子结构，特别是that的暗示，可判断题干为一个含有主语从句的复合句，句首的it为形式主语，真正的主语为其后的that从句，故最佳答案为D。

15、Notonly（）thedata,butitcanalsoanalyzethem.(1分)A、canthecomputermemorizeB、thecomputercanmemorizeC、dothecomputermemorizeD、canmemorizethecomputer正确答案选项：参考答案：A

18、Anexcellentteacherisbelievedtobeonewhocaresabouthisstudentsbutasksfornothing__________.

(1分)A、inturnB、inshortC、inreturnD、ingeneral正确答案选项：参考答案：C解析

考查介词短语辨析。介词短语inturn依次，轮流；inshort简言之；inreturn作为回报；ingeneral总得说来。句意：一位优秀的老师被认为是关爱学生却不求回报。根据句意可知，C项正确。考点：考查介词短语辨析

19、I’mnotthe_______ofthebag.ItcouldbeJim’s.

句意：每到春天公园里变得五彩缤纷的地方，到处有着美丽的花朵，这是绝对美妙的景色。第一空填a，泛指一个五彩缤纷的地方，第二空填an，泛指一个绝对美妙的地方，因为absolutely是元音开头的单词，所以用an，选B。考点：考查冠词

40、（）filmitis!(1分)A、HowfunnyB、WhatfunnyC、HowafunnyD、Whatafunny正确答案选项：参考答案：D解析考查感叹句。句意为：“多么滑稽的电影啊!”感叹句中，感叹名词用what,感叹形容词或副词用how;感叹可数名词单数时，常用“Whata/an+(形容词)+可数名词单数+主语+谓语!”来表示。分析句子结构可知，中心词为可数名词单数film,且形容词funny是以辅音音素开头的单词，故前面要加a,所以用what来感叹。故选D。
