活頁練(二十四)單項填空＋閱讀理解＋

　　Ⅰ.單項填空

　　1．—I failed the job interview because of my poor English.

　　—________.Practice a lot and you will make it.

　　A．Never mind

　　B．Not at all

　　C．Don’t mention it

　　D．Of course

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查情景交際。第一個人說他工作面試沒有成功，第二個人自然要安慰他，告訴他沒關系，多加練習的話就一定會成功的。never mind(不必擔心)，用于安慰對方，符合語境。

　　2．Now that we’ve discussed our problem，are people happy with the decisions ________？

　　A．taking

　　B．take

　　C．taken

　　D．to take

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意為：既然我們已經討論了我們的問題，人們對我們做的決定滿意嗎？ take與the decisions之間是動賓關系，故用過去分詞表示被動。

　　3．I think Jack will ________ a good monitor，so I’d like to vote for him.

　　A．turn

　　B．change

　　C．make

　　D．elect

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查動詞辨析。此處make表示“成為”。假如選擇A項，應該去掉句中的不定冠詞a。

　　—I had just finished my homework and ________to take a shower.

　　A．dropping；start

　　B．had dropped；started

　　C．dropped；have started

　　D．dropped；was starting

　　答案　D

　　解析　句意為：——昨天Lucy來訪的時候你在干什么？——我(那時)剛寫完作業正要開始洗澡。第一空后面有yesterday所以用一般過去時；第二空強調那時正要做某事。

　　5．—What’s wrong?

　　—Nothing serious.I’m just ________

　　busy.

　　A．much

　　B．more

　　C．too much

　　D．far too

　　答案　D

　　解析　因為too修飾形容詞或副詞，far是用來加強too的語氣的。

　　6．I want to use the same dictionary ________ was used yesterday.

　　A．which

　　B．who

　　C．what

　　D．as

　　答案　D

　　解析　當先行詞前有as，so，such，the same等修飾時，在從句中作主語或賓語的關系代詞用as。在本句話中，as作從句的主語。

　　7．I ________to go for a walk，but someone called and I couldn’t get away.

　　A．was planning

　　B．planned

　　C．had planned

　　D．would plan

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意為：我本打算去散步，但是有人打電話，所以我沒能去。plan是在called和couldn’t get away之前發生的動作，所以用過去完成時。

　　8．—Have you been to the Great Wall?

　　—Perhaps not in my memory.________，it might have been during my early childhood.

　　A．If any

　　B．If so

　　C．If ever

　　D．If not

　　答案　C

　　解析　句意為：——你去過長城嗎？——在我記憶中好像沒有去過。要是去過的話，或許是在童年。if ever如果曾經，該句完整形式為：If I have ever been to the Great Wall，....。if any如果有一些(表示數量)；if so如果那樣；if not如果不。

　　9．It is beyond my understanding that many adults ________ be so crazy about Harry Potter series.

　　A．will

　　B．can

　　C．may

　　D．should

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查情態動詞。句意為：很多成年人居然對哈利·波特系列這么上癮，對此我不能理解。這里用should表示“居然，竟然”。其他選項都沒有這個含義。

　　10．—If we take a plane，we’ll of course have arrived in London by the next weekend.

　　—Don’t be too sure.We should ________ the weather factor.What shall we do if it is foggy?

　　A．look for

　　B．allow for

　　C．prepare for

　　D．use for

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查動詞短語辨析。look for尋找；allow for考慮到；prepare for為……作準備；use for用做。allow for符合語意。

　　11．We had over 120,000 people here at ________ weekend and expect to have up to ________ third of that number on the beach today.

　　A．the；a

　　B．the；the

　　C．/；a

　　D．a；the

　　答案　A

　　解析　第一空at the weekend在周末；第二空表示“三分之一”，在英語中，當分子是1時，分子可用a或one，如果分子大于1，分母要用復數形式。

　　12．—Someone wants you on the phone.

　　—________ nobody knows I am here.

　　A．Although

　　B．And

　　C．But

　　D．So

　　答案　C

　　解析　前半句句意為：有人給你打電話，后半句句意為：沒有人知道我在這兒。根據句子意思可知前后兩句明顯為轉折關系，因此選C項。

　　13．His parents thought only in this way ________ become successful，studying abroad.

　　A．could Tom

　　B．Tom could

　　C．is Tom able to

　　D．Tom is able to

　　答案　A

　　解析　句意為：湯姆的父母原以為只有用這種方式湯姆才能成功，才能到國外學習。本題考查倒裝。在賓語從句中“only＋介詞短語/副詞/狀語/狀語從句”置于句首時，后面句子要使用部分倒裝，故A項正確。

　　14．Nick，it’s good for you to read some books ________ China before you start your trip there.

　　A．in

　　B．for

　　C．of

　　D．on

　　答案　D

　　解析　on 表示關于，some books on China意為“關于中國的一些書”。句意為：Nick，你在去中國旅行之前最好讀一些關于中國的書。故選D項。

　　15．________twice a year，whether it is a car or a bus or a truck，is the rule that every driver must obey in this city.

　　A．Examining

　　B．Examined

　　C．Being examined

　　D．Having been examined

　　答案　C

　　解析　句中缺少的是主語，分詞不作主語，故排除A、B項；從整個句子意思來看examine需要用被動式且用其一般式即可。

　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels，yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for.We do know，however，that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.

　　The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia.It is over 5,100 years old.Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while，though.This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.

　　But it could also be because of a difficult situation.While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces，roads with smooth surfaces weren’t going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them.Eventually，road surfaces did become smoother，but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later.There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.

　　In the mid-1700s，a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(層) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones.A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong，lasting road surface became a reality.At around the same time，metal hubs (the central part of a wheel)came into being，followed by the pneumatic tyre(充氣輪胎) in 1846.Alloy wheels were invented in 1967，sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路)．As wheel design took off，vehicles got faster and faster.(2024·重慶，C)

　　1．What might explain why transport wheels didn’t become popular for some time?

　　A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.

　　B．Humans carried farming tools just as well.

　　C．Animals were a good means of transport.

　　D．The existence of transport wheels was not known.

　　答案　C

　　解析　細節理解題。從第二段中的“This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.”可知，正確答案為C項。

　　2．What do we know about road design from the passage?

　　A．It was easier than wheel design.

　　B．It improved after big changes in vehicle design.

　　C．It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.

　　D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.

　　答案　D

　　解析　推理判斷題。從第三、四段的描述我們可知，道路的設計為輪子的發展提供了條件。

　　3．How is the last paragraph mainly developed?

　　A．By giving examples.

　　B．By making comparisons.

　　C．By following time order.

　　D．By making classifications.

　　答案　C

　　解析　組織結構題。從最后一段中的In the mid-1700s；in the 1820s；At around the same time；in 1967等可看出該段是按時間順序組織起來的。

　　4．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The beginning of road design.

　　B．The development of transport wheels.

　　C．The history of public transport.

　　D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

　　答案　B

　　解析　主旨大意題。全文主要向我們介紹了車輪的發展歷程。
