32、有社会责任感的考生，要敢于直面社会现实，正视社会问题。考生要用批判性思维分析问题，找出解决问题的办法。 本文的写作思路：首先，考生应列举出几件丑闻，接着分析公众人物缺乏社会责任感可能造成的严重后果，最后发出呼吁“公众人物应增强社会责任感，不能让自己的言行危害社会”。,【参考范文】 Some people believe that the public figures lack social responsibility.For example，In 2011，a director and a singer were arrested because they took drugs.And a

35、ility. Whatever they do，they should make sure they are doing the right thing，which means no harm to society.,Unit 2The universal language,.Directions：For each of the following unfinished sentences there are four choices marked A, B , C and DChoose the one that best completes the sentence.

39、,()6._ him to do like this，he wouldnt have made such a serious mistake in his writing. ADid you persuade BIf you persuade CIf you should persuade DHad you persuaded,6D。解答此题的关键是掌握虚拟条件句倒装的用法。另外，考生应能分辨出虚拟条件句表示的是与现在、过去还是将来事实相反。根据句子的意思以及主句的形式，可以判断出该空表示与过去事实相反，所以主句就要用“had过去分词”。该句正常的表达方式是：If you had persua

40、ded.。另外要注意使用倒装句：把if省略掉，将had提前。,()7.Do you mind if we set out earlier tomorrow morning? Well，Id rather you _. Adont Bdidnt Cwont Dwouldnt,7B。解答此题的关键是掌握would rather后面从句中虚拟语气的用法。类似的还有wish，as if等。在would rather后的从句中，如果从句的谓语动词表示的是与现在或将来事实相反，那么要用动词的过去式形式；与过去事实相反时，要用had 过去分词形式。根据句子的语境可以知道该动作是与将来事实相反。,()8.Yo

41、u can speak _ in front of him，but you cant eat _ in his restaurant. Afreely；freely Bfree；freely Cfreely；free Dfree；free,8C。有些形容词或副词，后面有无ly意思是完全不同的。掌握这些词的用法是解答此题的关键。根据选项中所提供的答案，我们先要辨析freely和free的用法。两词都可以用作副词，freely的意思是“自由地，无拘无束地”；而free作副词讲时，意为“无偿地，免费地”。,()9.The citizens demanded that the murderer _.

42、Ato be punished Bbeing punished Cbe punished Dpunish,9C。此处考查demand后宾语从句要用虚拟语气。demand that sb should do sth其中should可以省略。所以答案为C。,()10.People feel shocked that a university student _ do that to a woman. A. must B. may C. can D. should,10D。should在此表示惊讶。,()11.I always take out something to read when I wa

43、it for a bus _ I have to wait long. Ain case Bso that Cin order Das if,11A。此处考查引导状语从句的连词。in case表“以防”，引导条件状语从句；so that表“为了；以至于”，引导目的状语从句或者结果状语从句；in order that表“为了”，引导目的状语从句；as if表“仿佛；好像”，引导方式状语从句。从句意看，A为正确答案。,()12.The house with the ground is valued _ three thousand yuan，but I bought it _ only one t

44、housand yuan. Aby；with Bfor；at Cwith；by Dat；for,12D。解答此题的关键是注意介词在具体语境中的不同用法。本题考查与价钱连用的介词的用法。value在本句中是动词，意为“估价”，常用value名词at具体钱数，表示“估计某物值(多少钱)”；后半句“花(多少钱)买下某物”，既可用buy sth at，也可用buy sth for。用at a high / low price来表示“以高/低价”。,()13.Little Jim has been eating sweets all day. Its no _ he is not hungry. Ama

45、tter Bdoubt Cproblem Dwonder,13D。上句“小吉姆整天在吃糖果”是“他不饿”的原因，因此答案为 D。no wonder 意为“难怪，不足为怪。”,()14.The AntiJapanese War _ in 1937 and it _ eight years. Abroke out；lasted Bbroke out；was lasted Cwas broken out；lasted Dwas broken out；was lasted,14A。break out 和 last 都是不及物动词，都不能用于被动语态，因此答案为 A。句意为“抗日战争 1937 年爆发，

46、持续了八年。”,()15.The old tower must be saved，_ the cost. Ahowever Bwhatever Cwhichever Dwherever,15B。句意：无论花费什么代价也要拯救这座古塔。whatever the cost whatever the cost is。,.Directions：Complete the following sentences by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context. 16Bob ran the 100 meters in 9.9
