课时训练
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．—Why didn’t you keep your words，Billy?
—Sorry，dear.But I really forgot where I was ________ to meet you.
A．demanded B．imagined
C．supposed D．guessed
解析：选C。句意为：“比利，你为什么食言？”“对不起，我真的忘记了我应该在什么地方见你”。was supposed to do在此句中表示“应该做某事”。
2．—Have yo u heard of the North Korea’s nuclear test?
—Y es，________ news came as ________ shock to me.
A．the；a B．the；the
C．a；a D．a；the
解析：选A。句意为：“你听说过朝鲜的核试验吗？”“听说了。这消息的确让我很震惊。”消息特指前文提到的核试验，所以要用定冠词。shock在此句中是可数名词，表示“一件令人震惊的事”，所以前面要用不定冠词。
3．________ I had done it I knew I had made a mistake.
A．Hardly B．Directly
C．Mostly D．Nearly
解析：选B。第一眼看四个词从形式上看都是以-ly结尾的副词，但从句子结构看，空白处需要填连词。directly/immediately等少数副词具有连词的功能用来连接两个句子，意思是“一……就……”。
4．Trains stop here in order to ________ passengers only.
A．get off B．pick up
C．pull up D．pull in
解析：选B。get off 下车；pick up 接纳乘客；pull up 停车；pull in 进站。根据后面的宾语“乘客”可知选B。
5．The film star is content with herself，and she always likes to ________ her nice figure by wearing tight dresses in public.
A．get off B．show off
C．put off D．turn off
解析：选B。句意为：这位女星太自信了，她总在公共场合穿紧身衣服来炫耀(show off)她的好身材。get off动身；put off推迟；turn off关掉(电器等)，显然不符合句意。
6．Shall we________our discussion and have some tea or coffee，please?
A．break off B．break down
C．break into D．break out
解析：选A。break off our discussion意为“打断讨论”。其他三项break down出故障；打碎，break into闯入，破门而入；break out爆发，均与句意不符。
7．I’m afraid they are now ________.We’d better go immediately to help them.
A．in the danger B．out of danger
C．in danger D．of danger
解析：选C。句意：我担心他们现在危险，我们最好立刻去帮助他们。in danger表示“处于危险中”。
8．News of the robberies _________ many people ________ fitting new locks to their doors. A．scared；into B．scared；out of
C．scared；away D．scares；out of
解析：选A。scare...into意为“吓得某人去做某事”；scare...out of 意为“吓得某人不敢做某事”；scare away/off意为“将某人吓跑”。
9．European football is played in 80 countries，________it the most popular sport in the world. A．making B．makes
C．made D．to make
解析：选A。此处用现在分词作状语，表示结果。
10．________tomorrow，our ship will set sail for Macao.
A．However the weather is like
B．However is the weather like
C．Whatever is the weather like
D．Whatever the weather is like
解析：选D。句意为：“无论明天天气如何，我们的船将启航去澳门。”让步状语从句用no matter引导，询问天气怎样用“What’s the weather like？”
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
LONDON—Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother，who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change.The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth，her elder and only surviving daughter，at her bedside.For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years—from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet，the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的)and elusive(难以达到)figure.
She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世，亿万年)of，first，fawning and，later，intrusive media fascination，by remaining almost entirely silent.Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀)in public.What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady，adept at winning the admiration of press photographers，whom she always favoured with a particular smile. CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft，Shenzhou Ⅲ，landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon，after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week.The craft，which lifted off from Jiuquan in Gansu Province last Monday night，landed after successfully conducting a chain of flight and scientific experiments over a period of 162 hours.
A powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan，killing five construction workers，authorities(官方)said.Over 200 injuries were reported across the island，mostly minor，as a result of Sunday’s 7.5-magnitude quake.The quake was centred off Hualien,180 kilometres east of Taipei.It struck at 2∶53 p．m. and lasted for nearly a minute.
【解题导语】这是 3 篇新闻报道。第1 篇是关于英国皇太后死亡的消息；第 2 篇是关于中国发射神舟三号无人飞船的消息；第 3 篇是关于台湾发生7.5 级强烈地震的消息。1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the news?
A．The Queen Mother died on Easter Monday alone.
B．The Queen Mother was an attractive person in her political life.
C．The British people felt sorry for the death of the Queen Mother.
D．The Queen Mother was suffering a lot when she was dying.
解析：选C。判断题。皇太后死的时候有其女儿伊利莎白皇后在身边，排除A项；皇太后没有从政，排除B项；皇太后是在睡觉的时候死去的，D项也排除。所以答案选C。
2．It can be inferred that ___________.
A．the craft landed in central Inner Mongolia unexpectedly
B．it took the craft at least 2 hours to orbit the earth once
C．the Chinese scientists did a lot of experiments in space
D．China was successful in sending an unmanned spacecraft into space
解析：选D。判断题。从第3段的几个关键词safely...successfully 可知A项错误；B项内容在文中没有提及，可排除；而神舟三号为无人飞船，故不会有科学家在太空中做实验，可排除C；既然神舟三号无人飞船已安全着陆，那肯定是已成功发射了。
3．The third news mainly talks about the _________ in Taiwan.
A．political matters B．social problems
C．unexpected damage D．construction workers
解析：选C。主旨题。既然台湾发生了地震，那当然是没有预料到的灾害。A、B、D三项内容离题太远。
B
