1、一、選擇填空，從A、B、C三個選項中選出一個能填入空白處的最佳選項。（每題10分）We must keep our classroom _.A. clean B. cleaned C. cleaning 答案：A 譯文：我們必須保持我們教室的干凈。解析：Keep+n.+adj.“使保持”,讓某人（物）保持某種狀態(tài)，名詞+補語形式，就是說后面的那個形容詞是形容的賓語n的狀態(tài)而不是keep的主語，句子中Keep的主語是we，keep的賓語是classroom，賓語的補語修飾賓語的是clean。正確答案是：clean He is worth _.A. trust B. trusted C.

2、 trusting 答案：C  譯文：他值得信任。解析：be worth doing意為“值得做某事”。be worth doing是主動語態(tài)be worth to be done是被動語態(tài)，例：The exhibition is worth to be visited.這個展覽值得一看。正確答案是：trusting He asked John _ he could swim.A. that B. if C. how 譯文：他問約翰是否會游泳。解析：直接引語如果是一般疑問句，選擇疑問句或反義疑問句，間接引語應(yīng)改為由whether或if引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，因此選B。正確答案是：i

3、fYou'd better _ to hospital at once. A. go B. to C. going 答案：A  譯文：你最好立即去醫(yī)院看病。解析：had better(常簡略為'd better)是一固定詞組，had better“最好”，用于表示對別人的勸告、建議或表示一種愿望，后面必須跟動詞原形。正確答案是：goShe is a _ woman. A. confident young B. young confident C. confident and young 譯文：她是一個自信的年輕女人。解釋：兩個以上形容詞修飾同一個名

4、詞時，表示觀點的形容詞在最前面，如beautiful, horrible, lovely, nice等；之后為表示形狀的形容詞，如long，short，round, narrow等；然后為表示年齡、時代的形容詞，如old，new， young等；接著是表示顏色的形容詞，如red, black, orange等；然后是表示國籍、地區(qū)的形容詞，如British，Canadian，German等；最后為表示材料的形容詞，如：plastic, wooden等。正確答案是：confident young二、閱讀理解：選擇題（每題10分）Among the more colorful characters

17、t; * MERGEFORMAT d 正確答案是：BA. Tabor's life.B. Tabor's second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.C. Other colorful characters.解析：1. 細(xì)節(jié)題。因為Leadville可以為Tabor帶來巨富。這一點不是Leadville得名的原因，因為在文章第二段中，講到這一點時，提及三個原因：A.因為Tabor成為當(dāng)?shù)氐木用翊砣宋铮珺.因為在Leadville有豐富的鉛的儲藏量。唯獨C沒有，因為到后來發(fā)現(xiàn)是銀礦才給他帶來巨富。2. 詞匯題。第二段中g(shù)rubstake的詞義與C所述內(nèi)容是相同

18、的，即“供給探礦者資金，衣物，食品以及其他物品”。但此處還補充地講，作為回報，供給者可以獲得礦中資源一定份額。(見文章第二段第4行)3. 細(xì)節(jié)題。Tabor第一次真正發(fā)財是他為兩名礦工提供資助，為此他獲得他們礦資源三分之一的股份。見文章第三段4-9行內(nèi)容：兩名開礦者從Tabor那兒借走價值17美元的物品，作為回報，Tabor獲得他們礦資源三分之一股份。于是兩位開礦者在一座山旁的不毛之地開始挖掘，九天之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)了銀的富礦，于是Tabor又將兩人的股份全買下，這樣，銀礦屬于Tabor一個人所有，這個礦就是后來著名的“匹茲堡”礦。Tabor用17美元的投資換來了130萬美元的收獲。4. 推斷題。由原文可知泰勃的財產(chǎn)來源是有一定偶然性的，但是畢竟也是基于他開創(chuàng)的“grubstake”模式，因為A不對，C更是沒有根據(jù)，因為他還沒有娶第二位夫人這
