―________. I’ve bought a new one. (2009江西卷)
A. No sense B. No hurry C. No way D. No use
【答案】B。
【考点】考查交际口语的用法。
【解析】No hurry的意思是“别急”,也可说成:There’s no hurry. 又如:I’ll return it as soon as I can. 我将尽快归还。No hurry. 不必急。
22. ________ the right kind of training, these teenage soccer players may one day grew the international stars. (2009江西卷)
A. Giving B. Having given C. To give D. Given
【答案】D。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】因动词give与句子主语these teenage soccer players之间为被动关系,所以要和过去分词given。为便于理解,此题可改写为:If these teenage soccer players are given the right kind of training, they may one day grow the international stars.
23. The ________ shoes were covered with mud, so I asked them to take them off before they got into ________ car. (2009江西卷)
A. girl’s; Tom’s B. girls’; Toms’ C. girls’; Tom’s D. girl’s; Toms’
【答案】C。
【考点】考查名词所有格的用法。
【解析】根据句中的so I asked them…可知,不止一个女孩,所以第一空应填复数名词的所有格;Tom是一个人,故其所有格要用Tom’s。
24. According to statistics, a man is more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer ________ a woman. (2009江西卷)
A. than B. such C. so D. as
【答案】D。
【考点】考查as…as结构的用法。
【解析】本题考查as…as结构,但由其中的形容词likely变成了likely to die of skin cancer这样的“复杂”形式,很容易使考生忽视as…as结构。
25. Some people fear that ________ air pollution may bring about changes in ________ weather around the world. (2009江西卷)
A. /; the B. the; / C. an; the D. the; a
【答案】A。
【考点】考查冠词的用法。
【解析】第一空不填冠词,因为air pollution在此为非特指的一种现象;第二空填定冠词,因为此处为特指,注意其后用作定语的介词短语around the world。
26. The house I grew up ________ has been taken down and replaced by an office building. (2009江西卷)
A. in it B. in C. in that D. in which
【答案】B。
【考点】考查定语从句的用法。
【解析】定语从句I grew up用于修饰名词the house,由于其前没有“引导词”,所以可认为被省略了。而根据英语语法,可以省略的定语从句“引导词”只可能是用作宾语的关系代词that或which,这样一来,就必须要求空格处填一个能带宾语的词,显然只有介词in。
27. It was ________ he came bank from
A. when; then B. not; until C. not until; that D. only; when
【答案】C。
【考点】考查强调句的用法。
【解析】考查not…until…的强调句形式,其基本结构是it was not until…that…,如:It was not until I met you that I knew real happiness. 直到我遇到你以后,我才真正体会到幸福。
28. At present, one of the apartments in favor of the new airport ________ that it will bring a lot of jobs to the area. (2009江西卷)
A. is B. are C. will be D. was
【答案】A(http://www.yygrammar.com/)。
【考点】考查主谓一致的用法。
【解析】one of…作主语时,表示单数意义,故可排除复数谓语are;再根据句意及句中时态判断,空格处应用一般现在时。句意为:目前,对新机场比较有利的一个论点是,它可以给这个地区带来很多就业机会。又如:One of the annoyances of working here is the difficulty of parking near the office. 在这里工作有一件伤脑筋的事,就是在办公处附近很难停车。
29. ―What is the price of petrol these days?
―Oh, it ________ sharply since last month. (2009江西卷)
A. is raised B. has risen C. has arisen D. is increased
【答案】B。
【考点】考查动词时态与用法辨析。
【解析】根据句中的时间状语since last month可知,句子应用现在完成时,故可排除A和D。arise意为“出现,发生,(烟等)从……升起”;rise意为 “(价格、温度、量等)上升、增加”,故选B。又如:It’s rained steadily since last Saturday. 自从上星期六以来一直下雨。
30. It is reported that the police will soon ________ the case of two missing children. (2009江西卷)
A. look upon B. look after C. look into D. look out
【答案】C。
【考点】考查短语动词的用法。
【解析】做这类考题的最好方法是代入翻译法,即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句,哪个选项使原句最通顺,哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为:look upon意为“看作”;look after意为“照顾”;look into意为“调查”;look out意为“当心”。根据句意,只有C最佳。句意为:据报道,警方很快将对失踪小孩案进行调查。又如:The police are looking into the cause of the accident. 警方正调查事故原因。
31. ―Do you want a lift home?

A. doesn’t go off B. won’t go off C. wasn’t going off D. didn’t go off
【答案】D。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】D。根据句意可知,“闹钟没响”属过去的情况,故可排除选项A和B;而选项C表示过去正在进行的动作,也与句意不符。句意为:“要搭顺风车回家吗?”“你真好,但是我得在办公室工作晚点再走。因为闹钟没响,我早上睡过头了。”
32. Frank put the mediocre in the top drawer to make sure it would not be ________ to the kids. (2009江西卷)
A. accessible B. relative C. acceptable D. sensitive
【答案】A。
【考点】考查特定语境中形容词的用法。
【解析】做这类考题的最好方法是代入翻译法,即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句,哪个选项使原句最通顺,哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为:accessible 意为“易接近的,可到达的”;relative 意为“有关系的,相对的,比较而言的”;acceptable意为“可接受的,受欢迎的”;sensitive意为“敏感的,灵敏的”。将四个选项分别代入句中,显然,只有A最符合语境。句意为:弗兰克把药放在一个顶部抽屉,确保孩子们够不着。
33. The fact has worried many scientists ________ the earth is becoming warmer and warmer these years. (2009江西卷)
A. what B. which C. that D. though
【答案】C。
【考点】考查名词性从句的用法。
【解析】C。that在此引导同位语从句,修饰名词the fact,用以说是其具体内容。句意为:近年来地球正在越变越暖,这使许多科学家很担心。又如:I agree that he tried hard but the fact remains that he has not finished the job in time. 我承认他已尽力而为了,但事实是他并未按时做完。
34. The government plans to bring in new laws ________ parents to take more responsibility for the education of their children. (2009江西卷)
A. forced B. forcing C. to be forced D. having forced
【答案】B。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】由于空格后跟有动词force的宾语,所以就不可能用过去分词或不定式的被动形式,故可排除A和C;再从句意来看,force并不是发生在主句谓语之前的动作,所以不宜用完成式。顺便说一句,如果选项中有不定式to force也可以选。
35. Some of you may have finished unit one. ________, you can go on to unit two. (2009江西卷)
A. If you may B. If you do C. If not D. If so
【答案】D(http://ask.yygrammar.com/)。
【考点】考查固定搭配的用法。
【解析】四个选项,只有D填入句中意思最通顺。if so的意思是“如果那样的话”。又如:He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now? 他可能很忙,要是这样,我以后再来拜访;要是不忙,我现在可以见他吗?
