it.Awhat；make of Bwhat；be made ofChow；make of Dhow；be made of答案：B提示：make use of意为“利用，使用”，其中use为名词。该题consider后面为宾语从句，第一个空应由what作定语修饰use；因宾语从句的主语为what use，所以第二个空应用被动语态。12May I open the window to let in some fresh air?_ACome on！ BTake care！ CGo ahead！ DHold on!答案：C提示：句意为：“我可以打开窗子放进点新鲜空气吗？开吧！”A项为“加油，振作”等；B项为“小心”；D项为打电话用语，意思是“别挂断”；C项意为“开始，进行”，用于回答别人的请求，还可译为“去吧，好吧，说吧，干吧”等。13Many students signed up for the _ race in the sports meeting to be held next week.A800meterlong B800meterslongC800 meter length D800 meters length答案：A提示：“数词名词形容词”是合成形容词作前置定语的一种形式，数词、名词和形容词之间用连字符，其中的名词应用单数形式。14I dont doubt _ he will come tomorrow，but I do doubt _ he will come on time.Athat；that Bthat；whetherCwhether；whether Dwhether；that答案：B提示：doubt用在否定句中时，要用that引导后面的从句，意为“不怀疑，相信”；若用于肯定句中，则通常用whether引导后面的从句，意思是“怀疑是否”。15Did you leave the doors and windows firmly _？You know there are many thieves these days.Ato fasten Bto be fasten Cfastening Dfastened答案：D提示：leave sth.fastened意为“使拴牢，闩紧”。16A number of students _ planting trees on the hill now.Aare Bwere Cis Dwas答案：A提示：a number of意为“许多”，后接复数名词，谓语通常用复数。17_，the more progress youll make in study.AYou make better use of time BBetter use you make of timeCYou make the better use of time DThe better use you make of time答案：D提示：“the比较级，the比较级”意为“越，就越”。本句意为“你对时间利用得越好，你就会在学习上取得越大进步”。18Something must be done to stop factories _ poisonous gases to keep the city _.Asending out；from polluting Bsend out；pollutingCfrom sending out；from polluting Dsending out；from being polluted答案：D提示：stop.(from) doing 意为“阻止”；keep.from doing意为“阻止”，两个词组同义。第一空send out与factories是主谓关系；第二空pollute与city是被动关系，故用being polluted。19In the reading room we found her _ at a desk with her attention _ on a book.Asitting；fixing Bsit；fixed Cseated；be fixed Dseated；fixed答案：D提示：第一个空可用seated或sitting作补语，表示状态。第二个空根据词组 fix ones attention on得出应用过去分词作补语。20He _ brave in the war.Aproved Bwas proved Cwas proved to be Dhad been proved答案：A提示：prove是系动词，表示“事实表明”，不能用于进行时或被动语态。21He must have been studying hard before the exam._.AI doubt about it BThere is no doubt at itCI have no doubt about that DThere is some doubt of it答案：C提示：must用于表示语气强烈的肯定推测，“There is no doubt/I have no doubt.”与其一致。22He charged me fifty yuan _ it，but at first he said the work would be done free _ charge.Afor；of Bfor；for Cof；of Dof；for答案：A提示：charge sb.some money for sth.为常见用法，意思是“因某事而收某人多少钱”；free of charge为固定搭配，意思是“免费”。句意为“他向我索要了50元，但最初他说这项工作是免费的”。23 _ that she didnt do a good job，I dont think I am abler than her.ATo have said BHaving said CTo say DSaying答案：B提示：动词ing形式的完成时所表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前或已经完成的动作。根据句意可判断出“having said that she didnt do a good job”发生在I dont think I am abler than her之前。故选B项。24Hardly could he this amount of work in such a short time.Aget through Bget off Cget into Dget down答案：A提示：get through 意为“做完”，表示“他几乎不能在如此短的时间完成这么多的工作”。get off意为“下来，脱下，出发”；get into 意为“进入，陷入，穿上”；get down 意为“下来，取下，写下”。25The situation was so bad that it was _ control.Aout of Bin Cunder Dout答案：A提示：out of control“摆脱控制”，符合题意。in control“在控制中”；under control“被控制着”；out control的搭配不正确。第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。One windy spring day，I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored _26_of various shapes and sizes filled the bright sky like beautiful birds darting(飞奔)and_27_.As the strong wind blew against the kites，a _28_ kept them under control.Instead of blowing away with the wind they arose _29_ it to achieve great _30_.They shook and pulled，_31_ the control string and the long tail _32_ them in tow(牵引)，facing upward and against the wind.As the kites _33_ and trembled against the string，they seemed to say，“Let me go！Let me go！I want to be _34_！” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(约束)of the string._35_，one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last，” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from _36_ simply put it at the _37_ of an unsympathetic breeze.It dropped ungracefully to the ground and _38_ in the wild mass of weeds，string against a dead bush.“Free at last”free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown _39_along the ground，and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are.The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions，rules to _40_ from which we can grow and gain strength.Control is a _41_ counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we _42_ soar to reach the heights we might have obtained.We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us _43_ rise to the great heights，_44_ that some of the controls that we may be unhappy about are actually the steadying force that helps us _45_ and achieve.26A.creations Buniforms Copinions Dremarks27A.singing Bdancing Cmoving

BaccomplishingCattempting Drecognising45A.run away Blook down Cgo up Dget off答案：26A提示：creation“艺术作品，富有想象力的作品，创造物”；uniform“制服”；opinion“观点，意见”；remark“话语，评论”。这里说风筝是艺术品。27B提示：前面说风筝像小鸟一样飞奔，选dancing和darting并列，说风筝是在跳舞。28C提示：根据常识，强风吹打风筝时，一根线控制着它们。29D提示：风筝不是被风吹走了，而是迎风而上。against“顶着，逆着”。30D提示：风越大，风筝飞得越高。width“宽度”；length“长度”；figure“身影，数字”；height“高度”。31C提示：风筝摇晃着，拉扯着，但风筝线和长长的尾巴使它们一直被牵引着。上下文是转折关系，故选but。32B提示：exchange“交换”；keep“保持”；equip“装备”；fetch“去取”。这里选keep，意为“使处于状态”。33A提示：struggle“奋斗，挣扎”，强调逆境中的奋斗。这里指风筝和线作斗争。34A提示：从前面的“Let me go！”可知，这里的意思是“我想要自由”。35B提示：最后，终于有一只风筝挣脱了。practically“实际地，实践地”；finally“最后，终于”；eagerly“渴望地，热切地”；clearly“清楚地”。36C提示：这里承接上段说，然而自由了不再受控制却使风筝听任无情的风的摆布。freedom from control“不受控制”。37D提示：at the mercy of “听任的摆布”。38D提示：从后面的“in the wild mass of weeds，string against a dead bush”可知风筝落地上了。land“落地，着陆”。39A提示：helplessly“无助地”；hopelessly“失望地”；carelessly“粗心地”；willingly“愿意地”。这里指风筝被风吹打得非常无助。40B提示：follow rules“遵循规则”。41A提示：从上文知，没有了线的控制，风筝落在了地上。线的控制力和逆向吹着的风是必要的对应物。42B提示：从后文的“never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground”可知这里的意思是“从来没有到达我们想要的高度”。43C提示：让我们每一个人都提高到较高的高度。each作us的同位语。44D提示：通过上文知，这里意思是：我们要意识到一些让我们感到不快的控制力实际上是帮助我们提高的力量。blame“责备”；accomplish“实现”；attempt“企图，尝试”；recognise“认出，认识到”。45C提示：从后面的achieve可知，这里选go up与之对应。第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。AA recent study，while showing a generally positive attitude toward science，also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil(邪恶)as well as for good.Its applications can be channeled either way，depending on our decisions.The decisions we make，personally or collectively，will determine the outcomes of science.But here is a real danger.Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference.And，rather than fighting for the best possible policies，we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further.They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对)，whatever is scientifically possible will be donesomewhere，sometime.They believe that science will get out of control in the end.This belief is dangerous too，because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected(互联的)world，the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science.Without a common understanding，the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough.Take human cloning for example.Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响)on traditional moral values，some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques.The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore，discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies.Only through the united efforts of people with hope，can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.46What can we conclude from the recent study?APeople think highly of science.BPeople hold mixed opinions about science.CScience is getting dangerously out of control.DScience is used for both good and bad purposes.47According to the passage，what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?AThe development of science will hopelessly slow down.BBusinesses will have even greater influence on science.CThe public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.DPeople will work more actively to put science under control.48The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because _.Ascientists have failed to predict the outcomesBthe ties between different areas need strengtheningCunited efforts are necessary for the development of scienceDpeople need to work together to prevent the bad use of science49What is the main idea of the passage?AScience and its applications bring us many dangers.BThe development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.CMankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.DThe future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.答案：46B提示：细节理解题。由第一段可知，人们对科学的观点既有肯定的一面，也有担心的一面，说明人们对科学的态度复杂。47C提示：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This belief is dangerous too，because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.”可知C项正确。48D提示：细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句可知，只有人们团结努力，才能阻止科学被误用，并使人类的将来更加美好。49B提示：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了科学向好的方向还是坏的方面发展，主要是由人的态度决定的。BThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you.Air pressure is a powerful force.When you swim underwater，you can feel water pushing on your body.The air all around you does the same.However，your body is so used to it that you do not notice this.The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere.This layer surrounds the Earth，extending to about five kilometers above the Earths surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home.But make sure that you are supervised(监督)，because you will need to use matches.Now for the experiment!What you needA hardboiled egg without the shell A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg A piece of paper A matchMethod1)Check that the paper will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.2)Tear the paper into strips(条)and put the strips into the bottle.3)Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4)Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly，the egg will be sucked into the bottle.Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment.But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns，it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air)in the bottle.The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside.This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle.The air pressure must equalize，so more air from outside must enter the bottle.The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle！This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.50Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?AThe bottle could break.BYou need to light the paper with a match.CThe egg needs to be shelled.DThe egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.51In the experiment，the burning inside the bottle can _.Aequalize the air pressure inside and outsideBmake a seal in the neck of the bottleCfinish up the oxygen inside the bottleDproduce more oxygen inside the bottle52How did the egg get into the bottle?AThe oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in. BIt became soft without the shell.CThe neck of the bottle was wide enough. DThe outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.53The experiment is carried out to prove _.Awater pushes on your body when you swim underwaterBthe earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereCthe pressure of air around us has a powerful forceDthe air pressure is not equalized around us答案：50B提示：细节理解题。根据第二段的“But make sure that you are supervised，because you will need to use matches.”以及后面的“be careful when you handle matches”可知答案为B项。51C提示：细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知C项为正确答案。52D提示：细节理解题。根据最后一段的倒数第二句可知答案。53C提示：主旨大意题。根据文章前两句及最后一句可知答案为C项。CHawking Has Left Much for Chinese to Think aboutBritish physicist Stephen Hawking，possibly the worlds most famous scientist after Albert Einstein，gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August.An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers.But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol (偶像)His books，such as A Brief History of Time，become bestsellers in Chinese bookstores.“Hawking helps people expand (开阔) their horizons (视野) and become interested in science，” said Pan Yunhe，president of Zhejiang University.Indeed，experts dont think it likely that Hawkings lectures and profound ideas will be easily understood by the average person.But he has certainly sowed (播) the seeds of science among many young people.And the “Hawking fever” caused by his visit has made people ask：How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking?“Nurturing (培养) top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves，” said Zhang Fan.Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999 and will be in grade two at Trinity College in October,2002.In Britain，Zhang said，teachers inspire students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in.And they encourage students to develop new ideas，which helps them to nurture their creativity.In China，the Ministry of Education has encouraged schools to provide quality education to tap students potential (潜力)“I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations and solve problems on our own，” said Lu Jie，a Junior Three student in Sanfan Middle School in Beijing.54What has made young people take Hawking as their idol?AThe fact that Hawking is a famous physicist.BHawkings lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing.CHawkings continuing efforts in science.DThe fact that Hawking can just move three fingers.55According to this passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?AHawking brought a fever to China.BHawkings lectures and profound ideas will not be easily understood by the average people.CIn order to nurture top scientists，teachers should solve all the problems for the students.DIn China most schools provide quality education to tap students potential.56The last three paragraphs mai
