考查虚拟语气。句意：如果地球停止了转动将会发生什么？从句是与现在事实相反的假设，故主句应用wouldhappen。2．D 考查冠词。首空指带着借书的目的，表特指，故用the。第二、三空表泛指，意为“一本关于如何写诗的书”，故均用a，即正确答案选D。3．D 第一空为分词短语作状语，与主语是主动关系，故用making；且根据搭配“resistanttosth.”判断选D。4．C 句意：我不想买这本词典。一方面，它价格太贵；另一方面，我现在没有那么多钱。on(the)onehand…ontheotherhand…“一方面……另一方面……”，用来列举事项说明理由。5．C 根据表达“onone's/thewaytodoingsth.”可判断选C。6．C 此处considering为介词，意为“鉴于”。7．B 考查短语辨析。句意：如果你使挑战和困难有益于你而不是使你丧失信心，你会完成比你原以为可能的更多的事。morethan“多于，不仅仅”；ratherthan“而不是”；lessthan“少于”；otherthan“除了”。根据句意可知B正确。8．B 考查连词用法。句意：虽然我承认所有这些问题都很难，但是我不认为它们无法解决。此处while表示“虽然，尽管”，用来引导让步状语从句。9．B 考查非谓语动词短语。句意：他永远也不会想到他在查明抢劫案方面有很大的麻烦。havethetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有麻烦”。10．C 考查非谓语动词。onlytodosth.表示“出乎意料地”，onlydoingsth.表示“意料之中地”。根据句意“她乘出租车匆忙赶到办公室，结果发现钥匙忘在家里了。”可知选C项。10\n11．A themajorityofthestudents作主语，谓语动词用复数。12．A 第一空用that引导主语从句；withoutthepermissionfromtheschool没有学校的许可。13．B 考查虚拟语气的省略句式。当由if引导的虚拟语气的谓语部分为had，should或were时，可以用省略倒装句式。本句根据后句的谓语部分mighthavepassed可知，是对过去事情的假设，所以从句应该用过去完成时，即Ifithadnotbeen…缩略形式就是Haditnotbeen…14．A 考查过去分词。该空在句中作定语，且与逻辑主语theproblem为被动关系，由此排除B、D；根据“atthelastmeeting”可知，指“上一次会议讨论的问题”，故选A。15．A 根据“atpresent”可判断第一空表示正在发生的被动动作；根据“tomorrow”可判断第二空表示将来发生的被动动作，故选A。Ⅱ.我的学生都是一些身体残疾或智力有障碍的孩子。Mark行动不便，在一次学校组织的残疾人奥林匹克运动会中，Mark落在最后，他的三个朋友返回去跟Mark共同冲向终点。他们的行为深刻地阐释了残疾人奥运会的真正意义之所在。16．A 从第一句中的“teaching”一词可以看出作者是一名教师，因此这里是说“我”的“学生”。17．D 从前一句可知Mark患脑瘫，行动不便，因此他是被束缚在“轮椅”上。24空所在句子中的“wheelchair”是答案提示。18．B 前一句提到他必须跟自己的身体不便作斗争，本句提到他有积极的态度，前后构成转折关系，因此选B。19．C 联系上下文可知，他积极乐观，因此很受同学们的“喜爱”。20．D 由23空后的“wellintheirsportsevents”可知，这三个学生擅长“运动”。21．C Mark希望像他们一样，自己不受身体不便的束缚。因此选body。22．B Mark基本上不能运动，因此在看到别人在运动场上活动时，他会“惊叹”。wonder表示“惊讶，惊叹”。23．A 上文提到这三个学生擅长体育运动，再由该空后的“gavethenormally…cheerabout”可知他们在这次的体育比赛中获得了好名次。place表示“获名次”，符合语境。24．B 从上一句的“cheer10\nabout”以及文章最后一句可知，Mark坐在轮椅里为他们欢呼。25．B 根据下文可知所有的学生都被邀请沿着跑道走或者跑完一圈，因此选B项。26．C entire表示“完整的”，符合语境。27．D 当三名学生到达终点的时候，他们停下来，转身看他们后面的同学。pause停下来，符合语境。28．A attheendof是固定搭配，表示“在……的后面”。29．C Mark行动不便，因此所有的同学都超过了他。pass意思是“经过；通过”。30．C 只有他自己还剩下一半多的路没走完。cover行走，符合语境。31．D 他们三个彼此注视了一下，心里都有了个想法。thought在此处是名词，表示“想法”。32．A 根据上文可知他们已经到达了终点，因此这里是指他们返回去为Mark加油。33．D as在此处的意思是“正如”。他们为Mark加油，就像Mark之前为他们加油一样。34．A 从后半句的but可知，虽然过程很慢，但是最后他们三人跟Mark一起冲过了终点线。35．B 通过这件事情，“我”明白了什么是残疾人奥运会。make表示“使成为”。what引导宾语从句，在宾语从句中作主语。Ⅲ.随着澳大利亚经济的繁荣发展，有越来越多的美国人去澳大利亚寻找工作。他们的发展如何呢？让我们从文章中寻找答案。36．B 细节理解题。从第二段中的“butgrowingnumbersasnear10%unemploymentathomedrivesmoretolookforjobsDownUnder”知，美国将近10%的失业率导致越来越多的美国人到澳大利亚寻找工作，所以选B项。37．A 推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段中的“…457workvisas…aswellasotherskilledworkers”可知，457工作签证是专门颁发给高级技术工人的，所以答案选A项。38．B 从DanielDavila的例子并结合文章可知，很多美国人在澳大利亚赚的钱要比在美国赚的多得多，由此可知答案为B项。39．D 细节理解题。从最后一段的“TheneedforworkersisparticularlypressinginWesternAustralia.”可知，澳大利亚的西部地区急需工人，答案选D项。10\n10
