请认真阅读下面各题，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

1.As is estimated, more than 20 million shared bikes ______ into operation nationwide by 2025.
A. will have been put
B. will have put
C. have been put
D. will be putting
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态语态。

句意：据估计，到2025年为止，全国将有2000多万辆共享单车投入运营。

根据by 2025可知应用将来完成时，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应为将来完成时的被动语态。

故选A。

2.Many Chinese parents are willing to spend money on camp education and study tours for their children, ______ the industry a booming market with great potential.
A. to make
B. making
C. having made
D. made
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

句意：许多中国家长愿意花钱为孩子们举办夏令营和游学活动，这使得该行业成为一个潜力巨大的蓬勃发展的市场。

本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故make只能做非谓语动词与逻辑主语构成主谓关系，故用现在分词making。

故选B。

3.Many programmers criticized the “996 work schedule”, ______ employees work fr om 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week, with the possibility of ending up in hospital.
A. when
B. where
C. that
D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查连接词。

句意：许多程序员批评“996工作计划”，即员工从早上9点工作到晚上9点，每周工作6天，最后可能会住院。

本句为定语从句修饰先行词“996 work schedule”，且先行词在从句中做
地点状语，故应用关系副词where。

故选B。

【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：
(1)一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
4.Traveling by subway ______ sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during the rush hour.
A. must
B. can
C. shall
D. should
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。

句意：乘地铁旅行有时可能相当冒险，尤其是在交通高峰期。

A. must必须；一定；B. can能够；可能；C. shall将会；D. should应该；应当。

本句中can表示客观可能性（客观原因形成的能力），故选B。

5.A recent survey shows that Chinese has become ______ British parents most want their children to learn.
A. which
B. that
C. why
D. what
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查连接词。

句意；最近的一项调查显示，中国人已经成为英国父母最希望孩子学习的语言。

本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指物应用what，故选D。

【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。

二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。

此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。

6.The younger generation is turning its back on the traditional holiday routes of museums and shopping malls ______ adventurous experiences.
A. in recognition of
B. in defence of
C. in terms of
D. in favor of
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。

句意：年轻一代正在放弃博物馆和购物中心等传统的度假路线，而选择冒险体验。

A. in recognition of承认；B. in defence of保护；C. in terms of依据；按照；D. in favor of支持；赞同；选择。

根据句意故选D。

——如果成功的话，我相信你们的产品可以销往世界各地。

在虚拟条件句中，从句谓语动词有were, had, should等词，if可省略，将were, had, should移到主语之前，构成部分倒装。

故选D。

【点睛】部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分(多为助动词或情态动词)置于主语之前。

如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词，则需添加助动词do, does或did，并将其置于主语之前。

(1)表示否定意义的副词、介词短语和连词放在句首时要部分倒装。

此类副词或连词主要有no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not only…but also…, hardly…when…, no sooner…than…,not until…等。

如：
Never have I seen such a performance. 我从未见过这样的表演。

Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. 直到孩子睡着了，母亲才离开房间。

(2)当so/neither/nor位于句首时，表示“也”、“也不”，可将其后与前面重复的谓语部分置于主语之前，构成部分倒装。

如：
Tom can speak French. So can Jack. 汤姆会说法语。

杰克也可以。

如：Only in this way can you learn English well. 只有以这种方法，我们才能学好英语。

Only after being asked three times did he come to the meeting. 他被问了三次才来
参加会议。

(4)在so… that…句式中，如果so位于句首，主句中的主语和谓语需部分倒装。

如：
So frightened was he that he did not dare to move an inch. 他太害怕了以至于一动也不敢动。

(5)在虚拟条件句中，从句谓语动词有were, had, should等词，if可省略，将were, had, should移到主语之前，构成部分倒装。

如：
Were I you, I would try it again. 如果我是你，我会再试一次。

(6)as/though引导让步状语从句时置于句首时，采用形式倒装，即把强调的内容提至句首，主谓并不倒装。

如：
①表语的倒装
Tired as/though he was, he still went on with his work. 尽管他很累，他还是继续工作。

②谓语动词的倒装
Try as he might, he didn’t pass the exam.尽管很用功，但他考试还是不及格。

③状语的倒装
Much as he likes the bike, he doesn’t want to buy it.他虽然很喜欢那辆自行车，但不想买它。

注意：如果是单数名词或形容词的最高级作表语，不再用冠词。

如：
Child as he is, he knows a lot. 尽管他是孩子，但他懂得很多。

Youngest as he is in our class, he speaks English the best. 他虽然是我们班年龄最小的，但英语说得最好。

9.______ the price of food and oil hit the headline, perhaps we should be worried more about water.
A. Unless
B. While
C. As
D. If
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查连接词。

句意：当食品和石油价格成为头条新闻时，也许我们应该更担心水。

A. Unless除非；B. While当……时候；C. As因为；D. If如果。

根据句意可知本句为时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”，故选B。

【点睛】一、while 用作连词时,有以下几种含义:
1. 意为“当……时候”,引导时间状语从句。

2. 意为“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句。

3. 连接两个并列句子,表示“对比”关系。

二、 while 引导状语从句时,应注意以下几点:
1. while 引导的时间状语从句既可放在句首,也可放在句末;而 while 引导的让步状语从句一般放在句首,不放在句末。

另外,也可以从意义上加以区分。

2. while 引导让步状语从句时,如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同,那么从句的主语和谓语动词 be 都可以省略。

3. while 和 when 都可以引导时间状语从句,但应注意: while 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性的动词;而 when 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词既可以是延续性动词,也可以是非延续性动词.当时间状语从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时, while 和 when 可以互相替换。

4. while 引导的状语从句还可以表示“某个动作正在进行的同时,另一个动作也在进行之中”。

10.______ with the feedback my students had given me, I began to make a plan for the next term.
A. Arming
B. Having armed
C. Being armed
D. Armed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

句意：根据学生给我的反馈，我开始为下学期做计划。

本句中已经存在动词且句中没有连词，故arm只能做非谓语动词与逻辑主语构成被动关系，应用过去分词armed。

故选D。

In the classic marriage vow (誓约), couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife－not the husband－becomes seriously ill.
“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves st ruggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce.” said researched Amelia Karraker.
Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.
The researchers examined how the onset (发生) of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic (慢性的) illness onset increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.
“We found that women are doubly weak when their marriage breaks up in the face of illness,” Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the ones who become ill, t hey’re more likely to get divorced.”
While the study didn’t assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender roles and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses.” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among potential partners than divorced women.”
Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker
believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.
“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce martial stress and prevent d ivorce at older ages.” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”
38. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?
A. They can help couples get through hard times.
B. They are not taken seriously any more.
C. They are as binding as they used to be.
D. They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.
39. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?
A. They can develop different kinds of illness just like their wives.
B. They are more likely to get serious illness than their wives.
C. They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.
D. They are more likely to be divorced in the face of illness.
40. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?
A. They think it more urgent to take on their social role.
B. They find it much easier to find another partner.
C. They are more accustomed to receiving care.
D. They expect society to do more of the job.
【答案】38. D 39. B 40. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

一项新的研究发现，当妻子(而不是丈夫)患重病时，老年夫妇离婚的风险会上升。

同时Karraker和合著者Kenzie Latham对发现老年丈夫比他们的妻子更容易得重病。

且男人照顾他们生病的配偶更困难，这是因为他们认为承担自己的社会角色更为紧迫。
