(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)

一、 Vocabulary(总题数：20，分数：40.00)

1.I can't decide what to do. I'll ______it and let you know tomorrow.

A.sleep for

B.sleep off

C.sleep on √

D.sleep out of

【解析】本题考查动词短语辨析。sleep on it为固定搭配，意为"(把重要的事)留待第二天决定"，故答案为[C]项。sleep off意为"用睡眠消除(旅途劳顿、暴饮暴食等行为引起的不适)"。没有sleep for和sleep out of的用法。

2.In the ______of the hurricane, many people's homes were destroyed.

A.result

B.aftermath √

C.consequence

D.upshot

【解析】本题考查名词的词义辨析。result意为"结果，效果"，为普通用词，含义广泛，侧重因某种原因所产生的最终结果，而不是眼前的结果。aftermath意为"后果，余波"，尤指灾难或不幸事件的后果，符合空后的hurricane…homes were destroyed的语义，故为答案。consequence 意为"结果，后果"，多指某一事件引起的必然或自然的结果，不强调直接的因果关系，而侧重事件发展的逻辑关系。upshot意为"最终结果，结局"，是一种决定性结果。

3.In the light from the hall, her hair had a golden______.

A.gleam √

B.glisten

C.glimmer

D.glare

【解析】本题考查名词的词义辨析。gleam意为"闪光，闪亮"，尤指反射的微弱光线。根据in the light from the hall和her hair判断，答案为[A]项。glisten意为"(光洁或湿润表面等反射的亮光)闪耀，闪光"。glimmer意为"(常指闪烁的)微光"。glare意为"强光"，指眩目的光。

4.To my mind, Mark Twain was ______the large man of his time.

A.beyond the question

B.beyond question √

C.beyond the doubt

D.out of the question

【解析】本题考查短语辨析。beyond question意为"毫无疑问，无可争辩，毋庸置疑"，相当于短语out of question，既可起形容词的作用，在句中用作表语，也可起副词的作用，在句中作状语。根据句意，马克·吐温无疑是他那一时代中了不起的人物，故答案为[B]项。out of the question意为"不可能"，相当于impossible，常用于口语中或句子主语是更加具体的名词或动名词，而不是it或that。没有beyond the question和beyond the doubt这两个固定搭配。

5.The ______that democracies do not fight each other is based on a tiny historical sample.

A.propagation

B.preposition

C.proposal

D.proposition √

【解析】本题考查名词的词义辨析。propagation意为"宣传；传播；使普及"。preposition 意为"介词"。proposal意为"提议，建议，提案；求婚"。proposition意为"见解，观点"。分析句子结构可知，that引导的是同位语从句，结合四个选项判断，democracies do not fight each other 应是一种观点。句意为：认为民主国家互不争斗的观点是以一个极小的历史样本为根据的。

6.The roof ______under the weight of the snow.

A.fell

B.submerged

C.collapsed √

D.descended

【解析】本题考查动词的词义辨析。根据空后的the weight of the snow和四个选项的含义判断，既然是由于雪的重量导致的问题，那么房顶应该是坍塌才符合语义，故答案为collapse(倒塌，塌下)。fall意为"跌倒，塌倒；落下，降落"。submerge意为"潜入水中"。descend意为"下来，下降"。

7.Which of the following words can NOT be used to complete "With urbanization the ______between rich and poor sharpened"?

A.grudge

B.antagonism √

C.detestation

D.hatred

【解析】本题考查名词的词义辨析。grudge意为"不满，积怨，怨恨"。antagonism意为"敌对，对立，对抗"，强调"对立情绪"。detestation意为"厌恶，憎恶"。hatred意为"仇恨，憎恶，敌意"。根据空前的urbanization(城市化)和空后的rich and poor(贫富)判断，应表示贫富间的对立情绪。句意为：随着城市化的推进，贫富间的对立情绪也加剧了。

8.The moon was casting a rainbow through the ______from the waterfall.

A.spread

B.spray √

C.scatter

D.strew

【解析】本题考查名词的词义辨析。spread意为"传播，蔓延"。spray意为"浪花，水花，飞沫；水雾，喷雾"。scatter意为"(散放的)摊，堆"。strew意为"撒，散播，在……上布满(或撒满)"，是动词。根据空前的定冠词the，首先排除[D]项。根据空后的the waterfall(瀑布)判断，本空所填词应表示"水花"，故答案为[B]项。句意为：月亮在瀑布溅起的水花上照出了一道彩虹。

9.His family was subjected to a (n) ______attack by the gang.

A.tedious

B.hideous √

C.evil

D.notorious

【解析】本题考查形容词的词义辨析。tedious意为"乏味的，单调的，冗长的"。hideous意为"(事件、经历或行动)极可恶的，非常痛苦的，令人难以忍受的"，符合空后attack by the gang(匪帮的袭击)的语义，故为答案。evil意为"邪恶的，坏的"。notorious意为"声名狼藉的；臭名昭著的"。句意为：他的家人遭到了匪帮的恐怖袭击。

10.The country was on the ______of becoming prosperous and successful.

A.brim

B.rim

C.edge

D.verge √

【解析】本题考查短语辨析。四个选项均与on the…of构成短语。on the brim of意为"(容器的)边，边缘"。on the rim of意为"(圆形物体的)边，缘"。on the edge of意为"濒于，几乎，在……边缘"，强调位置。on the verge of意为"接近于，濒临于"，强调将要发生的情况，形势，处境。根据空后的becoming判断，句子应该表示即将发生的事情。句意为：这个国家即将走向繁荣富强。

11.Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?

A.All his lectures are very interesting.

B.Half their savings were gone.

C.Many his friends came to the party. √

D.Both his sisters are nurses.

【解析】本题考查限定词排序。限定词的先后顺序为：前位+中位+后位。四个选项中，all，both，half为前位限定词，his和their为中位限定词，many为后位限定词。Many his为"后位+中位"，不符合限定词的先后顺序，故[C]项不正确。

12.Which of the following words can NOT be used to complete "We've seen the film______"?

A.before

B.recently

https://www.360docs.net/doc/e514199945.html,tely

D.yet √

【解析】本题考查副词作状语的用法。yet常用于否定句和疑问句，而原句为陈述句，yet在此不能使句子补充完整，符合题干要求。

13.______should not become a serious disadvantage in life and work.

A.To be not tall

B.Not being tall √

C.Being not tall

D.Not to be tall

【解析】本题考查非谓语动词辨析。动词不定式和动名词作主语时的区别：动词不定式作主语时，通常表示具体的某一次动作，动名词作主语时，通常表示泛指或一般的抽象概念，如已知的事实或经验。句中"长得不高"是泛指，即已知的事实，故排除[A]项和[D]项。动名词短语being tall 是一个整体，表示"长得高"这一事实，所以否定时将not加在前面。

14.They stood chatting together as easily and naturally as______.

A.it could be

B.could be √

C.it was

D.was

【解析】本题考查状语从句。本句是一个省略句，完整的句子为：They stood chatting together as easily and naturally as they could be chatting．其中的easily and naturally修饰的是chatting，[B]项是they could be chatting的省略形式，为答案。[A]项it could be表示"在可能的情况下"，it指代不明，故排除。句意为：他们站在一起尽可能轻松而又自然地聊天。

15.The following are all correct responses to "Who told the news to the teacher?" EXCEPT______.

A.Jim did this √

B.Jim did so

C.Jim did that

D.Jim did

【解析】本题考查省略回答。对Who told the news to the teacher的标准回答是Jim did，即Jim did it的省略句。此外，还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容，so和that都可以指
