A. Well, not quite.
B. I don’t care.

D. I’m glad you like it
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查交际英语。

句意：—啊！你听起来就像是以这种语言为母语的人。

—嗯，不完全如此。

我仍然难以表达自己的意思。

根据后句“I still have trouble expressing myself.”可知后者认为自己的外语还不完美，仍然有需要提高的方面。

B. I don’t care.我不在乎；C. Yes, you’re right你是对的；D. I’m glad you like it我很高兴你会喜欢他。

BCD三项与句意不符，A项符合句意。

故选择A项。

2.You can’t predict everything accurately. Often things don’t ___________ as you expect.
A. run out
B. break on
C. work out
D. put out
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。

A. run out用完；耗尽；（无被动）B. break on碰了……而折断；C. work out锻炼；制定出；算出；结果；D. put out扑灭；生产；句意：你不可能准确预测所有事情。

通常事情的结果并不像你预料的那样。

根据句意可知本句中work out 意为“结果”，符合句意。

故选择C项。

3.–We got here Friday evening.
-___________Why didn’t you cal l us earlier?
A. Never mind!
B. You did?
C. It’s no surprise.
D. Good for you!
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查交际英语。

A. Never mind! 没关系；B. You did? 真的吗？C. It’s no surprise.这并不令人惊讶；D. Good for you! 对你有好处。

句意：—我们是星期五晚上到了这里的。

—真的吗？你们为什么不早点通知我们？根据后半句“Why didn’t you call us ear lier?”可知后者责备前者不先通知他们。

故B项正确。

4.___________ his career as a professional basketballer, Michael Jordan owned a steak restaurant.
A. Far from
B. Apart from
C. Instead of
D. Regardless of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。

A. Far from远非；一点也不；B. Apart from除……之外；
C. Instead of代替，而不是；
D. Regardless of不管，不顾；句意：除了作为职业篮球运动员的事业之外，迈克尔乔丹还拥有一家牛排餐厅。

根据句意可知“篮球运动员的事业”和“牛排餐厅”都属于乔丹，介词短语apart from表示“除……之外（包括在内）”，符合语境。

故B项正确。

5.___________ all of them are strong candidates, only one will be chosen for the post.
A. Since
B. While
C. Once
D. As
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句连词。

句意：尽管他们都是强有力的候选人，但只有一个人可以被选中担任这个职位。

连词while意为“当……时；尽管；然而；”本句中表示“尽管”，引导让步状语从句。

故B项正确。

【点睛】本题考查了while的用法，在英语的从句里连词while的用法是比较复杂的。

一、while作为并列连词,意思为“而,然而”,表前后意义上的对比或转折。

例如：There’s plenty of rain in the southeast, while there's little in the northeast. 东南部雨量充足,而西北部则很少下雨。

Some people waste food while others haven't enough.
有些人浪费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。

二、另外while还有别的用法，while引导状语从句,有以下两种含义：
1．表示某个动作正在进行的同时,另一动作也在进行之中,这时主从句都用进行时态,有对同类的两个动作进行对比的意味.如：
While I was playing the piano, she was dancing．我在弹钢琴,她在跳舞.
2．表示某个动作正在进行时,又发生了另一动作（该动作用一般过去时）.如：
While we were swimming in the river, we saw a fish jump out of the water．
我们正在河中游泳时,看见一条鱼跃出了水面.
三、while还有以下几种常见用法：
1．只要（＝as long as）
There will be life while there is water and air．只要有空气和水,就会有生命. 2．而；然而〔表示对比〕
He is a driver while I'm a teacher．他是司机,而我是老师.
3．虽然（＝although）；尽管〔表示让步〕
While I see what you say, I can't agree with you．虽然我能理解你说的话,但是我不能同意你.
4．用作名词,表示“一会儿或一段时间”,常与a, the或this等连用.如：
Just wait a while and then I will help you.等一下,我会来帮你的.
四、while所引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词只能是延续性动词。

例如：I met with an old friend of mine while (when) I was walking along the street.
6.The hotel, ___________ between two much larger hotels, is easy to overlook but worth choosing.
A. hiding
B. to hide
C. hidden
D. baving hidden
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

句意：藏在两个大一点的宾馆之间的这家宾馆很容易被忽视，但它值得选择。

动词短语hide between two much larger hotels与主语the hotel之间构成主动关系，要用现在分词短语充当定语修饰the hotel，相当于定语从句which hides between two much larger hotels。

B项表示未来的事情，C项表示被动，D项表示已经完成的事情。

故A项正确。

7.Ms Rogers will ___________ her ideas to the Board at next week’s meeting, so that they will hae a further discussion.
A. accomplish
B. present
C. confront
D. expose
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。

A. accomplish完成，实现；B. present呈现，发表；提出；赠送；表达；C. confront对抗；遭遇；面临；D. expose揭露；曝光；使……接触；句意：在下周的会议上Ms Rogers将会发表她的观点，以便于他们进行更进一步的讨论。

根据句意可知present表示“呈现”符合上下文语境，故选择B项。

8.The villagers have already known ___________ we’ll do is to rebuild the bridge.
A. this
B. that
C. what
D. which
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：通过分析句子结构，可知这个句子中包含一个宾语从句，且引导词在从句中作宾语，表示什么的意思，故用what。

考点：宾语从句的考查
点评：在句子中起宾语作用的从句叫做宾语从句。

宾语从句分为三类:动词的宾语从句,介词的宾语从句和形容词的宾语从句。

解答这类题，首先要确定从句是什么从句，然后依据相应的语法规则答题。

宾语从句中引导词的确定，要看它在宾语从句中作什么成分，有没有什么实际意义。

9.Recently, Prince Albert II of Monaco expressed his thanks for the aid they
___________ from China.
A. receive
B. are receiving
C. have received
D. had received
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。

句意：最近，因为他们从中国得到的帮助，摩纳哥的Albert II王子表达了他的感谢之情。

根据句意可知中国先提供帮助是在王子表达感谢之前就发生了，句中“expressed”使用了一般过去时，可知中国提供帮助应该使用过去完成时表示过去的过去所发生的事情。

故D项正确。

10.With the gains and losses carefully ___________, we are confident the plan really deserves a try.
A. weighing
B. being weighed
C. weighed
D. having weighed
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

句意：仔细衡量了得与失，我们相信这个计划值得尝试。

句中动词weigh意为“衡量”，与名词the gains and losses构成被动关系，要用过去分词做宾语补足语，表示被动与已经完成。

AD项表示主动，B项表示正在进行和被动。

都不符合语境。

故C项正确。

11.An unhappy childhood ma y have some negative impacts on a person’s
character-shaping. However, they are not always ___________.
A. practical
B. avoidable
C. permanent
D. beneficial
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词辨析。

A. practical实际的；实用的；B. avoidable可以避免的；C. permanent永久的；D. beneficial友谊的；句意：不幸福的童年对一个人的性格塑造有一些消极的影响。

然而，这些影响并不永久存在。

根据句意可知C项符合语境，指这些消极影响可能被消除。

故C项正确。

12.I often wonder if it is mistrust ___________ causes misunderstanding and conflict between people.
A. which
B. when
C. why
D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型。

句意：我经常想是不是不信任导致了人们之间的误解和冲突。

本句考查了强调句型：It is/was+被强调成分+that/who+ 其他成分；当被强调部分指人，可以使用that/who；当被强调部分不指人的时候，使用that；本句强调的是名词mistrust，没有指人，使用that强调。

故D项正确。

【点睛】本题考查了强调句型的用法，其具体用法如下：在英语中，我们常用It is／was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语，宾语或状语)。

在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。

如果被强调的成分是表示人的词，用who 或that来连接都可以。

如果是其它成分，则一律用that来连接。

It was in the park that I met my old teacher yesterday.(强调地点状语)) F
It was yesterday that I met my old teacher in the park.(强调时间状语)
7 g" U( {4 B: xIt was my old teacher that I met in the park yesterday.(强调宾语) " U5 T, ~% Q( K. y4 d+ O: ]It is Mr Smith who/that thinks Tom is a clever boy.(强调主语)' U. o% W
二、使用本句型的几个注意事项
1．被强调成分是主语，who／that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。

It is I who am right．
It is he who is wrong．
It is the students who are lovely．
2．即使被强调成分是句子中的时间状语，地点状语，原因状语等，也不能用when，where, because，要用 that。

It was after the war was over that Einstein was able to come back to his research work again.
It was in front of the bank that the old lady was robbed．
It was because of the heavy rain that he came late．
3．如果被强调的成分有同位语，同位语也应提前。

It was from him，his chemistry teacher，that Paul learned to watch carefully in class．4．被强调成分是充当主语的代词，用主格，是作宾语的代词，用宾格
It was he that helped me yesterday. It was me that he helped yesterday.
5．被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who
lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about．
6.在强调结构中,无论被强调的是人还是物,是单数还是复数,be动词一律用is/was形式,如果原句的谓语动词是一般过去时,就用was;如果是一般现在时,就用is.也可以用"情态动词+be"形式.如:
, ^: H! S! E; L0 WIt is the monitor who wins the first prize in the exam.
- h& ? `( l+ E, oIt was the farmers who/that lived a hard life before liberation. : @" [- z P2 _: tIt might be yesterday that John bought a book for Mary. " n6 X; ^8 o5 ]6 g" }0 o" lIt will be Xiao Wang who go with you.' {. L5 b5 j1 c$ E( J) D
三、区分定语从句和强调句型某些定语从句和强调句型形式差不多，容易混淆。

如果去掉
it is／ was ...that句子仍然通顺成立，则为强调句型，不成立不通顺，则为定语从句。

It was three years ago that he went to American for a further study.
去掉It was that句子为Three years ago he went to America for a further study．句子通顺，意思完整，那么，这就是一个强调句型。

四、强调句型也有疑问句形式.一般疑问句的强调形式,只需将is/was提前,移至句首即可,即:"Is/Wa s it…that…".特殊疑问句的强调形式, 须将陈述句变成一般疑问句, 再在句首加上疑问词, 即"疑问词 (被强调部分) +is/was + it + that + 句子其余部分".
如: Was it last year that the building was completed
How was it that he went to school
哲理性,故常用一般现在时.
例如:
It's a wise father who knows his own child.无论多聪明的父亲也不见得了解自己的孩子."
It's an ill wind that blows nobody(any)good.此失则彼得(没有使所有的人都受害的坏事).
13.It has been announced that all the candidates ___________ remain in their seats until all the papers have been collected.
A. shall
B. could
C. would
D. ought
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词用法。

句意：据宣布，所有的候选人都要坐在位置上，直到所有的试卷都被收齐。

根据句意可知本句是考试选择的规则，情态动词shall可以表示“按照规则/规定/法律要做的事情”，符合本句语境。

故A项正确。

14.The fruits had better be put into the refrigerator, ___________ will be preserved for several days.
A. that
B. which
C. where
D. in which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。

句意：这些水果最好放在冰箱里，他们会被保存好几天。

本句定语从句的先行词是the fruits，关系代词which指代先行词，引导定语从句并在句中做主语。

关系代词that不能引导非限制性定语从句，CD项在句中做状语。

故B项正确。

15.Investigators urged that safety procedures at the construction site ___________ as soon as possible.
A. would improve
B. were improved
C. improved
D. be improved
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。

句意：调查人们敦促建筑工地上的安全操作要尽早改善。

动词urge 后的宾语从句要使用“should+动词原形”的虚拟语气，其中should可以省略。

本句主语safety procedures at the construction site与improve构成被动关系，要用被动语态，句中还省略了should。

故D项正确。

Here’s a list of books I’m looking forward to this fall season. Not all of them will rise to the level of the advertisement, but it’s an abundant crop.“Home After Dark” by David Small( Liveright, Sept.11)
In 2017, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir(回忆录) called “Stitches”. Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking images. On Sept. 11 at 3p.m, Small will be at Amazonbooks at Union Market. More information at www. amazon. com/graph-tale. “Waiting for Eden” by El liot Ackerman(Knopf, Sept.25)
This brief novel is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a Navy in lraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation. More information at www. amazon.
com/military-essay.
“All You Can Ever Know” by Nicole Chung(Catapult, Oct.2)

A MENTORING(导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youths.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11to 21.
Alex Goldberg, th e program’s founder, said: We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youths. For example, we’ve secured internships(实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youths with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youths who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s(UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views
on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kier an thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural ea ch afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
