四、单项填空（本题共75题，每题1.0分，共15分。）

29everywhere,thefoxeshadnowherethemselves.

A^Hunting;hiding

B、Tohunt;tohide

C、Hunted;hiding

D^Hunted;tohide

标准答案：D

知识点解析：动词hunl与主语ihefoxes是被动的动宾关系，只能用过去分词，所

以［A］Hunting；hiding和［B］Tohunt；tohide是干扰项;而［C］和［D］选项中能够充当

nowhere的后置定语的是不定式tohide；所以只有［D］为正确选项。

30、Hardlyhadshefinishedherlecturethestudentsstartedclapping.

A、and

B、when

C>than

D^as

标准答案：B

知识点解析："nosooner...than","hardly…when"和"scarcely…befbre”相当于"assoon

as"之意。当hardly,scarcely和nosooner置于句子之首时，语气较强，主句的谓语

要部分倒装。例如：①Wehadhardlybegunwhenweweretoldtostop.②Hardlyhad

webegunwhenweweretoldtostop.③Thespyhadnosoonerreturnedhomethanhe

wastoldtogotoanothercountry.因此Hardly与选项［B］刚好相配，为正确选项。

31、Hisdesk-matetalkedhappilyabouttheteachersandlessonssheprefersto

chooseforthecomingtenn.

A、which

who

CNwhen

D、that

标准答案：D

知识点解析：当定语从句的先行词既含有人也含物时，定语从句的引导关系代词为

that。例如：①Doyouknowthethingsandpersonsthattheyaretalkingabout?@The

bikeanditsriderthathadrunoveranoldmanweretakentothepolicestation.所以［D］

为正确选项。

32、Harrythecarbeforeheenteredthesupermarket.Thatwaswhyhiscarwas

stolen.

A、hadnotlocked

B>isnotlocking

C、hasnotlocked

D、wasnotlocking

标准答案：A

知识点解析：在过去不同时间发生的两个动作中，先发生的动作要用过去完成时，

而后发生的动作要用过去时。Whenthepolicearrived,thethieveshadrun

away.“哈理没有锁车”在前“进超市”在后，所以没锁车应该为过去完成时，因此

［A］为正确选项。

33、thesetrainstoBeijingwouldyouliketotake?

A、Whatare

Withwhat

C、Whichof

D、Whatof

标准答案：C

知识点解析：全句含有“从多者中选一'’的意味，；what意为“什么”，为疑问代词，

没有选择的意味，更不可能充当关系代词；which表示“哪一个"，有选择意味，为

关系代词：所以含有what的选项都应该排除，剩下［C］为正确选项。

34、Nowthattheplanhasbeenworkedoutitmustbeputintoatonce.

A、reality

B、practice

C、deed

D、inturn

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题的意思为“既然计划已经制定，就必须马上……”，动词短语put

intopractice有“实施/执行”之义，刚好表达本题的意思，而其它选项不能与put

ini。搭配，因此山|为正确选项。

35、一Whatdoyouoftenhaveforbreakfast?—UsuallyIhavesomemilkandbread;

Ihavesomenoodlesinstead.

A、sometimes

B、attimes

C>allthetime

D、atonetime

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题提供的信息为“一早餐你经常吃什么?一通常我吃牛奶面包；

我不吃牛奶面包，吃面条。”选项［A］的搭配是错误的，选项［B］意为“有

时”，选项［C］意为“一直”，选项［D］为“有一时期（一次，曾经）”之意，所以［B］为正确

选项。

36Doyouknowwhoinventedfirsttelephone,byway?

Ax/;the

B、a;the

C、the;a

D、the;the

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据“序数词之前要用定冠词”的语法规则，可以判断出第一个空需要

定冠词，这样可直接将［A］和［B］两项排除：byiheway是固定搭配，意为“顺便”，

所以［D］为正确选项。

37、Themorewereadthestory,.

A^itseemsmoreinteresting

B、itbecomeslessmeaningful

C、thebetterwemightbefondofit

D^themoreinterestingwemaybe

标准答案：C」

知识点解析：比较级题。"hemore…themore”为比较级的典型结构，因此首先从结

构上可以确定：答案要么是［C］要么是［D］；但千万要注意的是：只表示比较

级，不是在任何情况下都一定要用“more”，虽然选项［D］中有“more”，但是表达“我

们对什么感兴趣''要用短语lobeinterestedinsomething；虽然选项［C］中没有

“more”，但有表示比较级的“better”就足够了，所以［0为止确选项。

38、Theoldliveinthecountrythaninthecity.

A、prefers

B、hasbetter

C、likesto

D^wouldrather

标准答案：D

知识点解析：虽然prefer后接不定式时可以与rallerlhan或insleadof连用，但是，

该句主语"Theold”表示泛指，从意义上看为复数，［A］选项中的prefer为单数形式

与主语不一致；［B］和［C］的问题也在于此；［D］选项”...wouldrather...than…”结构表

示“宁愿怎么样…而不愿怎么样”之意，与全句的意思相匹配，所以［D］为正确选

项。

39、madehisEnglishteacherveryangry.

A、Kate^comingtoclasslate

B、Katecametoclasslate

C>Katecomestoclasslate

D、Katecomingtoclasslate

标准答案：A

知识点解析：该题的空出现在主语的位置上，因此可以确定答案应该是非谓语动

词。浏览四个选项，|B|和［C］两项中没有非谓语动词，应该先排除；而选项|D］缺

少“飞”所有格，不能表示动作的所属关系。因此［A］为正确选项。

40、Studentscoiningfromothercountriesarccontenttheirstudiesandlifein

ourcollege.

A、in

with

C、outof

D、fromto

标准答案：B

知识点解析：浏览四个选项，只有介词“with“与“…becontent…”可搭配成为短语表

示”……对什么感到……满足的，满意的……”之意，正合题意，因此［B］为正确选

项。

41、OnlyinthiswayprogressinyourChinese.

A^youcanmake

B、arcyouabletomake

C、canyoubeabletomake

D^youareabletomake

标准答案：B

知识点解析：当only放在句子开头时，句子要倒装，所以|A］和［D］选项根本不正

确。而［C］既使用了can又用了beableto造成意义的重复,不可能止确。所以［B］

为正确选项。

42、Theheadmasterrequestedthatallstudentsontimetoschool.

A、be

B、were

C^hadtoarrive

D^musthavetobe.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：在虚拟语气结构中，放在动词"suggest/request/order”等后的宾语从句

中谓语动词要用"should+动词原形"，should可以省略。因此[A]为正确选项。

43、Lefshaveadrink,?

A、willwe

letus

C、shallwe

D、haven'twe

标准答案：C

知识点解析：当陈述部分是以Let's开头的祈使句时，反意疑问部分用shallwe；

若是以Le〔us开头的祈使句，反意疑问部分则用willyou。例如：©Let'shavea

partytonight,shallwe?@Lctushavealookatyoupictures,willyou?注意，如果祈

使句是否定形式，那么反意疑问句只能用willyou。例如:DoiVtforgettobringyour

notebooksheretomorrow,willyou?因此[C]为正确选项。

A、disadvantage

advantage

B、ismoreofadisadvantagethananadvantagetowomen

C、hasaslittleeffectonmenasonwomen

C、old-fashioned

D、one-sided

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据全文可知，大多数人对于美丽容貌的看法是比较现实的。如文章

项在文中没有提及，故正确答案为A。

A^giveadvicetojob-seckcrswhoareattractive

B、discussthedisadvantagesofbeingattractive

C>demandequalrightstbrwomen

D、statetheimportanceofappearance
