‎(二十)单项填空＋完形填空＋阅读理解 ‎ (限时35分钟)‎ Ⅰ.单项填空 ‎1．We know that ________ better future is at ________ hand if all hands come together and pull together.‎ A．a; the B．the; the ‎ C．a; / D．/; /‎ 答案：C　考查冠词。第一空表示“一个更美好的未来”，是泛指，故用a；at hand 为固定短语，意为“在手边，即将到来”，故第二空不填冠词。‎ ‎2．Similarly, active places exist around the globe, with some even ________ a new kind of tourists.‎ A．attracted B．to attract C．attract D．attracting 答案：D　考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，some指的是“some active places”，与动词attract之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词与with 构成复合结构，在句中作伴随状语。故选D项。‎ ‎3．We should ________ the best person for the job, and I feel Jane is a remarkable candidate.‎ A．approve B．appoint C．apply D．approach 答案：B　考查动词。句意：我们应该任命最好的人做这份工作，并且我感觉简是一个很好的候选人。approve批准，赞成；appoint任命，委任，指定；apply申请；approach接近，着手处理。根据句意可知，选B项。‎ ‎4．Only when we have strong confidence, courage and strength, ________ overcome all the difficulties.‎ A．that we B．we can C．we would D．can we 答案：D　考查倒装句式。句意：只有当我们有信心、勇气和力量时，我们才能克服所有这些困难。only修饰状语从句位于句首时，主句谓语要进行部分倒装。‎ ‎5．When it comes to gossip(流言蜚语), learn to keep your mouth shut ________ you'll avoid trouble.‎ A．or B．and C．for D．but 答案：B　考查连词。句意：就流言蜚语而言，学会闭嘴，就会避免麻烦。这是一个由and连接的表示“条件与结果”并存的句型。句式为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”。其中and表递进关系。该句型可转换成“if条件句＋主句”结构。句型“祈使句＋or/otherwise＋陈述句”也是表示“条件与结果”并存的句型，但祈使句与陈述句之间是转折关系。‎ ‎6．It should be emphasized that our technology has great potentials ________‎ ‎ food development in China.‎ A．in terms of B．by means of C．in spite of D．regardless of 答案：A　考查介词短语。句意：应该特别强调的是，在中国粮食生产方面，我们的科技存在着巨大的潜力。in terms of 就……来说，在……方面；by means of 用……方法，借助；in spite of尽管；regardless of 不管，不顾。‎ ‎7．There were no other houses beyond her garden, ________ made it seem like her house lay at the end of the world.‎ A．which B．that C．where D．what 答案：A　考查定语从句。句意：在她的花园那边再没有别的房子了，这让她家看上去好像坐落在世界的尽头。分析句子结构及意思可知，非限制性定语从句缺少主语，且关系代词指代前面整个主句，故用which来引导该从句，选A项。‎ ‎8．You surprise me! You ________ fall asleep in such an important meeting.‎ A．must B．may C．can D．should 答案：D　考查情态动词。句意：你让我大吃一惊！你竟然在这么重要的会议上睡着了。情态动词 should可表示惊异、遗憾等语气，此处意为“竟然”，符合语意。故答案选D项。‎ ‎9．Don't worry about my illness. What I need is ________ but a few days' rest.‎ A．anything B．everything C．something D．nothing 答案：D　考查不定代词。句意：不要为我的病担心，我休息几天就好了。nothing but是固定短语，意为“仅仅，只不过”，符合语境。anything but意为“根本不，决不”。故答案选D项。‎ ‎10．—Your sitting room looks so clean and tidy.‎ ‎—Well, thanks to the babysitter. She is a real ________.‎ A．finding B．invention C．find D．discovery 答案：C　考查名词。句意：“你的客厅看上去这么整洁。”“噢，多亏了保姆，她真是个能干的人。”a real find意思是“能干的人”。‎ ‎11．The managers consider it is important that everything ________ by weekend.‎ A．will complete B．has completed C．be completed D．is completing 答案：C　考查语态和虚拟语气。句意：经理们认为在周末以前把所有的事情完成很重要。该题干中that之后要用虚拟语气 should do的结构，其中的should可以省略；另外everything是“被完成”，此处要用被动结构，因此要用(should) be ‎ completed。故答案为C项。‎ ‎12．Other genetic similarities suggested they all ________ a single, common ancestor about 300 years ago.‎ A．had B．have had C．have D．had had 答案：A　考查动词时态。suggest在该句中意为“表明，暗示”，而非“建议”，所以宾语从句中不用虚拟语气。因为宾语从句的时间状语为about 300 years ago，故该句用一般过去时态，选A项。‎ ‎13．We will make ________ clear that we attach increased importance to all schools sticking to that guidance.‎ A．this B．that C．it D．what 答案：C　考查代词。句意：我们将明确表示，我们高度重视所有坚持那个指导意见的学校。此处it 为形式宾语，that引导的从句为真正的宾语。故选C项。‎ ‎14．What I am concerned about is ________ they could fit in with society and how we can create more opportunities for them.‎ A．which B．what C．whether D．who 答案：C　考查名词性从句。分析题干可知空格后面部分的句子成分完整，排除要在句中作成分的A、B、D三项； whether在句中不作成分，意为“是否”，符合句意。‎ ‎15．—How is the cloth I chose?‎ ‎—________. This color will look very pretty on you.‎ A．The color is too dark B．You have a good taste C．But the color is sold out D．You can try it on now 答案：B　考查情景交际。句意：“我选的这料子怎么样？”“您很有眼力，这个颜色您穿上一定非常漂亮。”由答语的后一句“This color will look very pretty on you.”可知，前面应该是称赞对方，所以用“You have a good taste.”符合语境。故答案选B项。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 The tale of a heroic pet Luke has always been my closest companion these past five years.

Rovio is the name of the company that created angry birds, however, it's not the first game they developed. Surprisingly they have been creating games for several years but had just never broken through into the mainstream the way they did with angry birds. The idea for the game came about in 2009 when the company was looking at different ideas for games which they thought could become popular. It was a simple idea spawned from some sketches(素描) of wingless and legless birds which were angry.‎ The sketches caught on among the staff who in turn created a unique design which became angry birds. The pigs were added into the game later in the development as an enemy. During this period of development, pig flu was being heavily reported in the news which is where the idea for the pigs appeared.‎ The basis of the game is very simple and is not unique to angry birds but has been seen in many other games previously. It's a simple physics/puzzle game. The player is given a slingshot and a limited supply of angry birds with different characteristics. Some birds are faster than others while others can be split into multiple birds. You control the trajectory(轨迹) of the birds with the slingshot which launches them towards rickety structures containing your main enemy, the pigs. In order to advance to the next level you must eliminate(消灭) all of the pigs before your birds run out.‎ Rovio has released several different versions of the game at this point. The original, Seasons, and Rio. Seasons is a collection of holiday themed versions of the game while Rio was a movie tie in for the movie Rio. All versions continue to be updated with new levels which are free to those who have previously purchased the game.‎ 本文是一篇记叙文，叙述了愤怒的小鸟这一游戏创意的产生过程，并且介绍了游戏角色的设置和游戏规则等。‎ ‎1．What's the meaning of the underlined word in the first paragraph?‎ A．Turned. B．Played a role.‎ C．Changed. D．Came into being.‎ 答案：D　词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句的语境：这一创意的形成来自于没有翅膀和腿的愤怒的鸟的素描形象，由此可推断出划线单词意为“形成，产生”。故选D项。‎ ‎2．In the game, the birds ________.‎ A．have different kinds that only include faster birds and slower birds B．have to be controlled to kill all of the pigs before your birds run out C．are the enemy of the pigs which have been infected with pig flu D．lose their temper for the pig flu so they try to kill the pigs 答案：B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“In order to advance to the next level you must eliminate (消灭) all of the pigs before your birds run out.”可知选B项。‎ ‎3．According to the text, the game players ________.‎ A．must pay for this game—angry birds one level by one level B．only pay for once and then it will be updated freely C．should control angry birds to kill all the animals with pig flu D．will become angry easily for playing the game too much 答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“All versions continue to be updated with new levels which are free to those who have previously purchased the game.”可知所有版本继续升级时对那些先前购买过游戏的顾客是免费的。‎ ‎4．Which one is the best title of the passage?‎ A．The Unknown Game—Angry Birds B．Facts and Hints About the Game Angry Birds C．Rovio Created Famous Games D．Pigs and Angry Birds 答案：B　标题归纳题。全文讲述了愤怒的小鸟这一游戏创意的提出、具体的成效以及游戏升级等问题，所以B项适合做文章的标题。‎ 疑难词汇解读 ‎1．mega(构词成分)，意为“巨大”‎ a mega star(电影等)大明星，巨星 ‎2．release v．①发行(CD、书等)，发布新闻 The film Hero was released.电影《英雄》公映了。‎ ‎②放出，放走 He released the bird from its cage.‎ 他将鸟从笼中放了出来。‎
