考前冲刺卷(四)
第1卷
第一局部听力(略)
第二局部英语知识运用(共两节，总分为45分)
第一节单项填空(共15小题；每一小题1分，总分为15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最优选项。

21．The driver was at ________ loss when ________ word came that he was forbidden to drive because of speeding.
A．a；the B．/；/
C．the；the D．a；/
答案 D
解析第一空为固定搭配at a loss，意为“不知所措〞；第二空word此处意为“消息〞，不可数名词，因此前面不加任何冠词。

句意为：当这位驾驶员得知他由于超速而被禁驾的消息时，不知所措。

22．There is not much time left，but________we must get there on time.
A．somehow B．somewhat
C．however D．anyhow
答案 D
解析句意为：剩下的时间不多了，但无论如何，我们也必须按时到达那里。

anyhow无论如何，不管怎样；somehow以某种方式，通过某种途径；somewhat稍微，有点。

根据题意选D项。

23．Look！The ground is wet.It must have rained last night，________？
A．hasn’t it B．didn’t it
C．mustn’t it D．hadn’t it
答案 B
解析由last night与must have rained可知此处是对过去情况的猜测，下雨是过去的事实，所以反意疑问句的助动词用did，并且根据前肯后否的原如此，反意疑问句应该用否认形式，C项正确。

句意为：看！地面湿了，昨天晚上肯定下雨了，不是吗？24．—________ one and a half months enough for the project to be finished?
—I am afraid not.The professor is ill and only after he recovers ________ go on with it.
A．Is；he can B．Are；he can
C．Is；can he D．Are；can he
答案 C
解析由主语one and a half months可知，谓语动词应该用单数，将其看成一个整体，
所以第一空用is；第二空and连接的并列句的第二句是only位于句首，应该用局部倒装，所以用can he，故C项正确。

句意为：——一个半月的时间可以完成这个项目吗？
——我觉得恐怕不够，教授生病了，只有等他康复之后才能继续工作。

25．Due to the widespread ________ of this medical technology，more diseases can be discovered and treated at an early stage.
A．presentation B．application
C．qualification D．appreciation
答案 B
解析句意为：由于这种医药技术的广泛应用，越来越多的疾病可以与早发现并且治愈了。

所以此空为“应用〞的意思，故B项正确。

presentation展示，呈现；qualification 资格；appreciation欣赏，感激。

26．—What do you think of the 2013 Spring Festival Party?
—Well，great！But I don’t think much of ________ held last year.
A．the one B．it
C．one D．which
答案 A
解析由于此空后面只有held这个动词，可知后面不是从句，因此which不可选；“去年的春晚〞是特指，所以the one正确。

it特指“它〞，不合题意；one意为“一个〞，是泛指，不合题意。

27．The traffic rule says young children under the age of four and ________ less than
40 pounds must be in a child safety seat.
A．being weighed B．to weigh
C．weighed D．weighing
答案 D
解析此处weigh为“重量为；重(多少)〞的意思，作young children的后置定语，且与其关系为主动，用weighing，故D项正确。

句意为：交通规如此规定四岁以下并且体重少于40磅的儿童必须放于儿童安全座椅上。

28．—I wonder what makes you a successful manager.
—I ________ as a waiter for five years，which contributes a lot to my today’s work.
A．serve B．have served
C．had served D．served
答案 D
解析由第一句“我想知道是什么让你成为一位成功的经理〞得知对方现在已经是一名经理，那么下一句的作为一名服务员应该是过去的事情，所以应该用一般过去时，故D 项正确。

29．________，as long as I’m with nature，I don’t care.
A．However tough the journey is
B．Whatever tough the journey is
C．However the journey is tough
D．Whatever the journey is tough
答案 A
解析考查让步状语从句。

however＋adj.＋a/an＋单数名词＝whatever＋a/an＋adj.
＋单数名词，故A项正确。

30．It was________that many people were injured in the accident.
A．reported B．to be reported
C．reporting D．report
答案 A
解析It is/was reported that...为固定句式，意为“据报道……〞，it为形式主语，that引导的主语从句是真正的主语。

31．—It’s no easy task to catch a ticket on a website that receiv es 1 billion clicks daily.
—I can’t agree with you more.There ________ be errors for every single step.
A．should B．must
C．will D．can
答案 D
解析此处表示“有时会〞这个意思，用can可以表示理论上会发生的事，用于肯定句中。

此句意为：每一步都可能存在错误。

should应该，竟然；must肯定，必须；will 将要，均不符合句意。

32．—How dangerous it was!
—Yes，but for the passer­by’s quick action，the girl ________.
A．was drowned
B．could have been drowned
C．had drowned
D．should be drowned
答案 B
解析由but for后面的内容可知，“要不是那个路人的动作迅速，小女孩可能已经溺水身亡了〞说明此处是对过去事情的虚拟，而且表示“可能〞的意思，所以用could have done，根据句意应该用被动语态，所以B项正确。

33．—Do you have anything to say for yourselves?
—Yes，there is one point________ we must insist on.
A．why B．where
C．how D．/
答案 D
解析先行词one point在从句中作insist on的宾语，所以可以用which/that/不填，故D项正确。

why在句中作原因状语；where作地点状语；how不能引导定语从句。

34．Chery，a car maker in Anhui province，sold nearly 700,000 units in 2011，with the total value ________ it was in 2005.
A．more than three times what
B．three more times than that
C．over three times than what
D．over three times of that
答案 A
解析是……的三倍多，用more than three times和over three times都可以，再看从句局部可知，was后面缺少表语，因此用what，所以A项正确。

句意为：Chery，安徽省的汽车制造商，在2011年出售了近70万的汽车，总价值是2005年的三倍多。

35．I finally got a photo with my favorite movie star.Never in all my life ________ so happy!
A．did I feel B．I felt
C．I had felt D．had I felt
答案 A
解析never放在句首，用局部倒装结构。

第三局部阅读理解(共两节，总分为40分)
第一节(共15小题；每一小题2分，总分为30分)
阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项。

A
If you are ever planning to buy a telescope and want to get yourself involved in astronomy it is always a good idea to know a bit of the sky.Get acquainted with a few constellations(星座) so that it will be easier for you to spot the constellations when you are using your telescope.
It’s a good idea to buy a few magazines on astronomy to help you to get familia r with the constellations in the sky and also read a few reviews on the different types of telescopes in the market.This will help you gather all the information that is
out there regarding telescopes and what people have to say about them.
It’s advisable to go in for a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) before you buy your first telescope so that you can get used to spotting constellations before your view of the sky is narrowed down.This will also help you know if you really want to get involved in astronomy.Many people buy a costly telescope and then discover that they’re not actually interested in astronomy.
Experience has no substitute，and there certainly is nothing better than using different telescopes before you buy one.This will help you to get the feel of all the types of telescopes and you will know which one is easier for you to use.A large aperture(光圈) refractor(折射) may give you an excellent image but you may not be able to keep a steady hand while using it resulting in a blurry image.
There are three types of telescopes that are available in the market.If you want a more elegant looking telescope you can always choose to buy a fine brass telescope.It’s good to become acquainted with each type before going for the plunge of a first telescope.The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope，which uses lenses to gather light to a focus at the eye piece.The use of lenses helps the telescope have a superior image.A refracting telescope is not as portable as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture.
The second type of telescope is the Reflector.Made by Sir Isaac Newton，this telescope functions by focusing the light back at the front of the tube，which is where the eyepiece sits，by using parabolic(抛物线的) mirrors and another smaller mirror to deflect the light.There is no added color in the image caused by refraction of light since this telescope does not use lenses.These are the cheapest of all telescopes and are more portable than refractors.
56．According to the text，a telescope is intended to be bought for ________.
A．getting experience
B．watching stars
C．studying the climate
D．learning about a bit of the sky
答案 B
解析推理判断题。

在第一段中作者建议买望远镜之前多了解一些天文知识，特别是星座方面的知识，这就说明望远镜的用途是用来观察星星。

57．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．One must know something about astronomy and telescopes.
B．One can’t buy a telescope without buying several astronomy magazines.
C．One should check the telescopes in the market and try to find a better one.
D．One must be familiar with new information of astronomy and space instruments.
答案 A
解析段落大意题。

作者建议在购置望远镜前多了解一些天文知识，并且了解人们对市场上各种望远镜的评价，从而对产品有所了解。

58．Why does the author advise buying a pair of binoculars first?
A．The telescope is too expensive.
B．The binoculars are easier to use.
C．You may gain plenty of experience in astronomy.
D．Your view will be narrow by using a pair of binoculars.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。

在第三段，作者建议先使用双筒望远镜以获取经验并且确定对观测天文现象是否真的感兴趣。

59．What do we know about the refracting telescope?
A．It looks very elegant.
B．It refracts light by an eye piece.
C．It has clear images without any lenses.
D．It is not convenient to take along for its size.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段“A refracting telescope is not as portable as the other two types...〞可知，折射望远镜不如其他两种方便携带。

B
One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City，Calif.，to New Orleans.In the middle of the desert，I came upon a young man standing by the roadside.He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand.I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you’d be considered a jerk if you pa ssed by somebody in need.Now you are a fool for helping.With gangs，drug addicts，murderers，rapists，thieves lurking everywhere，“I don’t want to get involved〞 has become a national motto.
Several states later I was still thinking about the hitch­hiker.Leaving him standed in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.
Does anyone stop any more？I wondered.I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line：“I have always dep ended on the kindness of strangers〞．Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days？One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money，relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans.What kind of Americans would he find？Who would feed him，shelter him，carry him down the road?
The idea intrigued me.
The week I turned 37，I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life.So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny.It would be a
cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar.I would only accept offers of rides，food and a place to rest my head.My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina，a symbol of all the fears I’d have to conquer during the trip.
I rose early on September 6,1994，and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50­pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles：“America〞．
For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states.As I traveled，folks were always warning me about someplace else.In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming；in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice as in Iowa.Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went.I was amazed by people’s readi ness to help a stranger，even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.
60．Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?
A．Because he failed to notice this man.
B．Because he was driving too fast.
C．Because he thought the young man didn’t need help.
D．Because he was afraid of being tricked.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据文章第一段最后两句可知，如今人们不想因为帮助陌生人而陷入麻烦，作者正是受这种思想的影响，而没有停车。

61．What was it that made the author upset?
A．Leaving the young man alone in the desert.
B．Being considered a fool.
C．Making the decision of not offering help so easily.
D．Keeping thinking about the young man.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。

根据文章第二段中的“What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.〞可知，使作者感到不安的是自己怎么会那么轻易就作出了不伸出援手的决定。

62．The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ________.
A．find out how long he could survive without help
B．go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environment
C．find out whether strangers would offer help to him
D．figure out how strangers thought of his plan
答案 C
解析细节理解题。

根据文章第三段最后三句的内容以与第四段“The idea intrigued me.〞可知，作者决定进展这次“身无分文〞的旅行是想看看是否会有陌生人帮助他，因此选择C项。

63．The following part might probably ________.
A．describe how he fooled the strangers
B．describe how strangers went out their way to help him
C．explain why people refused to help strangers
D．explain how he overcame his difficulties on the way
答案 B
解析篇章结构题。

根据最后一段的描述可知，作者无论到哪儿都会得到帮助，甚至一些人宁愿违背自己的利益，也会去帮助他，因此下文作者会具体说明人们是如何尽力帮助他的。

C
Life in space will certainly take some getting used to！But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possible—the modules(舱) are roomy，bright，and kept at a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit.It’s important the crew members are comfortable because they’ll be busy aboard the station.In a typical workday，crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising,1.5 hours preparing and eating meals，and 8.5 hours sleeping.Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station：
Food
Come mealtime，astronauts will have a special dining kitchen.Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth.In early space missions，astronauts could eat only freeze­dried food that didn’t require any preparation.But the space station is equipped with water，microwave ovens，and refrigerators，allowing th e folks on board to eat more “normal〞 types of food，including fruit，vegetables，and ice cream!
Sleep
Each crew member has a private room.With no gravity，they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds，or they will float away！That might sound like a strange way to sleep，but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!
Exercise
You might not think it，but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth.There is not much gravity in space.Astronauts d on’t stand up，sit down or walk in space，so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this，astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes，rowing machines，and other equipment about two hours every day.
Clothing
Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the
U．S.shuttle or Russian rockets.But once they’re safe inside the space station，crew members can wear regular clothing.Of course，a specially designed，pressurized space suit is required for space walks.It has to withstand(经受住) flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes.It can range from 120 degrees below Fahrenheit in the shadow of the station to 250 degrees in the hot sun. Personal Cleanliness
Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesn’t flow in a stream—it suspends in a bubble！Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers，shampoo，and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water.And how do you go to the bathroom in space？With a special “air toilet〞 that uses flowing air instead of water to dispose of waste.
64．The facts about life in space are all mentioned EXCEPT ________.
A．clothing B．entertainment
C．sleep D．exercise
答案 B
解析细节理解题。

通读全文可知，第三段是关于sleep；第四段是关于exercise；第五段是关于clothing，文章并未提到宇航员的娱乐活动(entertainment)，故答案为B 项。

65．What do we know about space food from the text?
A．Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past.
B．Astronauts eat only fruit，vegetables and ice cream now.
C．Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space.
D．Space food is getting better now than before.
答案 D
解析推理判断题。

第二段第二句指出，太空食物越来越像我们在地球上所吃的食物，接着指出在过去宇航员只能吃冻干的食物，但现在能吃水果蔬菜等平常食物。

由此判断，太空食物比过去好了。

66．Why is exercise more important in space than on earth?
A．It can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.
B．It can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.
C．Astronauts’ lives are more important in space than on earth.
D．It can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

由第四段第三、四句“...their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this...〞可知，由于太空无重力，人不用坐立行走，运动的机会极少，容易给人的肌肉与骨头造成危害，因此宇航员必须每天锻炼两小时，由此可知正确答案为D项。

67．What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing〞？
A．The temperature is quite different in different places in space.
B．Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.
C．Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.
D．Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.
答案 A
解析细节理解题。

根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“It can range from 120 degrees below Fahrenheit in the shadow of the station to 250 degrees in the hot sun.〞可知，太空中不同地方温差是非常大的，故答案为A项。

D

Planking：a Brief History
The rules are simple：you must lie face down，palms(手掌) flat against your sides，with your feet together and pointing at the ground.Points are awarded for an original location and for the number of onlookers and participants involved.__71__ Without a photo，you’re just a person lying down.This is planking，described variously as a global participatory art project，a “meaningless Internet craze〞．
It began 14 years ago with a pair of bored kids.Gary Clarkson，then 15，and his friend Christian Langdon,12，would perform the plank in public places，amusing one another，and puzzling onlookers.__72__ The game was a pointless way for the boys to pass the time.As Clarkson puts it，“It was just a really stupid，random thing to do.〞
For its first 10 years planking spread very slowly，from Clarkson and Langdon to their friends at school and，after a while，on to other kids from the neighborhood.__73__ Soon，they had a few thousand followers.Photographs of plankers came in from all over the world：American plankers on top of their televisions，British plankers in trees，and Europeans on country roads and steep riverbanks.
Then things got really interesting.A few days later，a mass gathering of plankers attracted more than 100 people.The planking in the photos posted to Facebook became riskier and stranger.One brave airport worker performed the plank in the engine fan of a jet plane.
__74__ Some people have linked the practice to the 1995 video for the Radiohead song，Just.In the video，a man lies down on a busy London road and a crowd of strangers gather to try to understand and help him.He refuses to move，o r to tell them why he’s lying there.He tells them—but not us，the viewers—and all we see is that now the entire crowd is lying down on the pavement as well.__75__ “People generally think you’re mad，〞as creator Gary Clarkson puts it.“That’s sort of the poin t.〞
A ．You must ，of course ，have somebody take a photo.
B ．Many people believe planking is a good way to pass the time.
C ．At that time ，it was known simply as the Lying Down Game.
D ．We can read about planking all of the time on Internet websites.
E ．Whether the video is the inspiration or not ，it helps us understand the spirit of planking.
F ．Then ，in 2007，when the pair created a Facebook group for their game ，the pace accelerated.
G ．It’s not clear—and Clarkson and Langdon don’t remember—where exactly the idea for planking came from.
