The hard work that you do now _later in life.A. will be repaid B. was being repaid C. has been repaid D. was repaid【答案】A 【解析】句意:你現(xiàn)在所做的努力在以后的生活中會(huì)有回報(bào)的. 顯然是將來時(shí)態(tài)且為被動(dòng).23. Time, _ correctly, is money in the bank.A. to use B. used C. using D. use【答案】B【解析】句意:使用得當(dāng),時(shí)間就是銀行里的錢. 要填的是非謂語形式,而且use和主語time的關(guān)系是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,所以要用過去分詞表被動(dòng)意義,相當(dāng)一個(gè)條件狀語從句:if it (time) is used correctly.24. Bicycling is good exercise; _, it does not pollute the air.A. nevertheless B. besides C. otherwise D. therefore【答案】B 【解析】題干前后表示的是疊加意義: 好的鍛煉;不污染空氣,所以用besides “除了(還)”; 答案A意為 “然而”；C “要不然”；D“所以”。25.

The moment _soon, he thought to himself, waiting nervously.A. came B. has tome C. was coming D. is coming【答案】D 【解析】根據(jù)soon “很快”很容易斷定是將來時(shí)，這里是直接引語，所以要用D（表示 “來、去、動(dòng)身、啟程”這類動(dòng)詞經(jīng)常用進(jìn)行時(shí)表將來）。句意：“這一時(shí)刻很快就要到了”。28. _I always felt I would pass the exam, I never thought I would get an A.A.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A.What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.56.

There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.Kings Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the mostinteresting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint - free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byrons PoolMany stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of mess and drunkenness. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf- -over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.61.
