Everyone_rain to come soon so that the crops may be saved.Ahopes for BhopesCbelieves Dwishes for答案：A解析：动词hope后不能跟不定式作宾语补足语，但我们可以说hope for sb. to do sth.，即hope for后可以跟不定式作宾语，believe后的不定式作宾补只能用“to be形容词”；wish for后只能跟名词或代词。5At midnight I woke up_the cracking sound of thunder and pouring rain.AforBofCtoDtoward答案：C解析：wake up后接介词to表示“醒来时发觉”。题意为：半夜我醒来时发现雷声隆隆，大雨滂沱。其余三个选项的介词不能表示此意。6The way he did it was different_we were used to.Ain which Bin whatCfrom what Dfrom which答案：C解析：形容词different后接介词from, from后跟名词性从句，据此C项为正确选择，D项虽也用了介词from，但后接的名词性从句无意义，故排除。7I couldnt but_of my days_in the countryside when I watched a TV series last night.Athink; spending Bthinking; spentCthink; spend Dthink; spent答案：D解析：couldnt but后接动词原形，相当于couldnt help doing，意为“情不自禁地”；days后接的是定语，由于days与spend呈被动关系，故用spend的过去分词短语作定语修饰days。全句的意思是：昨晚我看一个电视连续剧时，不禁想起了曾在农村度过的日子。8When_someones health, you raise your glasses but the glasses should not touch.Adrink to Bdrinking toCdrunk to Dbeing drinking to答案：B解析：状语从句中的主语与主句主语一致时，可简化为“连词分词”的形式，当从句中的主谓是主动关系时，用“连词现在分词”表示；若主谓是被动关系，则用“连词过去分词”来表示，本题中的主语与drink to是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。9_there is a river, there is a city.AWhen BIfCThough DWhere答案：D解析：本题主句带的是一个地点状语从句，故用where。10Rather than_on a crowded bus, I always prefer_a bicycle.Aride; to ride Briding; rideCto ride; to ride Dto ride; riding答案：A解析：动词prefer与rather than连用时，表示“喜欢而不喜欢”，prefer后跟带to的不定式，rather than后跟动词原形，据此，A项为正确答案。句意是：我喜欢骑自行车，而不喜欢挤公共汽车。11One way to understand thousands of new words is to gain_good knowledge of basic word formation.A不填 BtheCa Done答案：C解析：knowledge为抽象名词，通常前面不用不定冠词，但当其被形容词修饰时，必须加上不定冠词。12The party began with a light music and_a happy song.Aended up Bended up withCended up in Dended over with答案：B解析：表示“以开始”用begin with，若表示“以结束”；则用end up with。13I drink black coffee_he prefers it with cream.AwhileBwhenCbecauseDif答案：A解析：本题表示的是转折关系，故用while，此处while是并列连词，意为“然而”；“但是”。14She_his number in the telephone book to make sure that she had got it right.Alooked in Blooked forClooked out Dlooked up答案：D解析：表示“查询”；不论是查字典还是电话号码或者是索引目录等，都用look up。15My parents always let me have my own_of living.Amethod BmannerCway Dfashion答案：C解析：题意是“我父母总是让我拥有自己的生活方式。”表示“方式”；“方法”，用名词way，A项的method虽也有“方法”之意，但通常是指有计划的人为制订的方法，如教学方法，而与本题所表示的个人生活的方式不同。.单句改错1The best way for learning English well is to read every morning._2Tom pretended to sleep when I came in._3Nowadays villagers keep dogs to protect their houses._4Jacks parents hope him to get good grade in the final exam._5The noise outside my house kept me sleeping._6He seemed to read the letter already._7The book is said to be translated into several languages._8I said I had to go but Mary said I hadnt to._9I must leave my key in the office, for I left in a hurry after work._10Hes not so careful as others in his class._答案：1forofway后的定语可用of doing短语充当。2to sleepto be sleeping“假装睡着”是正在进行的动作，不定式用进行式。3protectguard表示“看家护院”，动词用guard。4hopeexpecthope后不能跟不定式作宾语补足语，应该改为expect。5me后加fromkeep sb. from doing sth.中的from不能省去。6to readto have readread发生在谓语动词之前，故用不定式的完成式。这从already可以看出。7to be translatedto have been translated句意是：据说这本书已被译成了好几种语言。translate这个动作发生在be said之前，故应该用不定式的完成式的被动式。8hadnt todidnt have tohave to的不定式用dont/doesnt/didnt have to。9leavehave left对过去的推测，must后加完成式。10othersthe others表示“其余的人”用the others。.阅读理解阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。AEARTH WEEKA Diary of the PlanetStormsSeveral more rounds of fierce storms, tornadoes (龙卷风) and floods struck many parts of the American Midwest and Northeast as bad weather continued across the US for a second month.Monsoon StormsA southwest monsoon has caused great damage in parts of Sri Lanka.

Blas formed off southwest Mexico during the last week, but the outer part of the storm swept western Michoacan State, killing four people when their wood and cardboard home fell down.Monkey RepellentAfter years of unsuccessful attempts to keep cropeating monkeys out of Japanese fields, a Tokyo research team believes that it may have finally found a way to prevent the damage caused by the monkeys. Animal ruin of crops were successfully prevented by shooting chili (辣椒) powder into the air, irritating the eyes and noses of monkeys that passed in front of carefully placed warning sensors. “Weve tried.all kinds of preventive measures, but the monkeys are bright enough to outsmart the trick，” said Toshiaki Wada, director of the Tokyo Forestry Experiment Station in western Tokyo.1The monsoon in Sri Lanka _.Awas of average strengthBdestroyed more property than previous monsoonsCwas rare for that time of the yearDaffected only the outer areas of the nation答案：C解析：细节理解题。季风本来应在特定的时间发生，文中说“unexpected monsoonal winds”，所以是罕见的。2According to the information, which of the following statements is TRUE?AThe eruption of Mt Etna lasted for a second month.BHurricane Blas was formed off the coast of Italy.CThe American Midwest had fine weather throughout July 2005.DThe eruption of Mt Etna did not destroy local villages.答案：D解析：细节理解题。由Mt Etna Erupts中最后一句可知，没有对附近村庄造成威胁。3Toshiaki Wada, director of the Tokyo Forestry Experiment Station, would describe the monkeys as _.Ahappy BcleverCharmless Dlovable答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据猴子的所作所为以及最后一段Toshiaki的话“.but the monkeys are bright enough to outsmart the trick”可知，Toshiaki认为猴子很聪明。4The information in the “Earth Week” diary _.Atells people future weather patternsBgives advice on dealing with monsoonsCshows that weather can change unexpectedlyDshows the effects that storms have on animals答案：C解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知季风、飓风、风暴的袭击都可能是意想不到的。B(2009湖北)My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft_notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service_pins,_which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, Im sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted，“The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didnt last a tiny bit longer.主旨大意：战争带给人们的不仅是死亡，还有发自内心的恐惧，绝望和煎熬。文章描述了Uncle Milton在一战期间去前线的经历。极副戏剧性的结果，却让读者笑不出来这就是战争！5What the grandfather was most worried about was_.Athe spread of the world warBthe safety of his living two cousinsCa drop in his living standardsDhis relatives killing each other答案：D解析：细节理解题。第一段最后一句“it would be cousin fighting against cousin”意思是“自相残杀”。6The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “_”Aorder for army serviceBtrain ticket for EuropeCletter of rejectionDnote of warning答案：A解析：词义猜测题。从后文可知Uncle Milton被征召入伍，即将奔赴前线。所以A项含意吻合。7What did the “service pins”(in Para. 2)stand for in the eyes of the little girls?AStrength. BCourage.CVictory. DHonor.答案：D解析：推理判断题。从第二段最后一句“All the little girls were delighted.”可知这是荣誉的象征。8Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?ADisappointing. BUnexpected.CUncertain. DInspiring.答案：B解析：情感评价。作者在结尾呈现的是一种出人意料的结局，但又渲染了一种沉重，发人深省的氛围。所以只能用B项来形容。Module 4选做题.短文填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. _1_.So, you have to give a speechand you are terrified.
