有时有认真选择的含义，指把不同类型的东西有秩序地编排或整理为一个整体。

Ⅰ.单项填空
1．Although Oriental ideas of woman’s subordination to man prevailed in those days，she meet with men on an equal basis.
A．did not dared B．dared not to
C．dared not D．did dare not to
答案 C
解析A项中dare为实义动词，应为dare原形；B项中dare为情态动词，后接动词原形；
D项中dare为实义动词，否定式为didn’t dare to。

2．The boss demanded that Mary the work within a week.

答案 D
解析demand后跟从句时，从句中用虚拟语气(should) do。

C．do D．of doing
答案 A
解析句意为：缺乏知识使她不得不做这种需要力气的活。

4．My little son out alone at night.
A．dares not go B．dares not to go
C．dare not to go D．doesn’t dare to go
答案 D
解析dare作情态动词时没有人称和数的变化，后面不能接带to的不定式；作实义动词时，有人称和数的变化，变疑问句和否定句时要加助动词do，后面接不定式，且to可以省略。

根据句意可知此处用一般现在时。

故选D项。

A．play；was falling
B．was playing；fell
C．was playing；was falling
D．play；fell

重了too的肯定语气)

1．small，the company has about 1,000 buyers in over 30 countries. (2013·天津，5) A．As B．If
C．Although D．Once
答案 C
解析考查省略句中的连词选择。

句意为：尽管公司小，它在30多个国家有1 000名左右的采购员。

as意为“因为”；if意为“如果”；although意为“尽管”；once意为“一旦”。

2．Film has a much shorter history，especially when such art forms as music and painting.
(2012·新课标全国，32) A．having compared to B．comparing to
C．compare to D．compared to
答案 D
解析句子的主语是film，它和compare之间是被动关系，所以要用被动形式。

因此只能选D项。

“when compared to...”相当于when引导的状语从句的省略，补全后为：when it is compared to...。

句意为：电影的历史短得多，尤其是它与诸如音乐、绘画等艺术形式相比较时。

3．volleyball is her main focus，she’s also great at basketball. (2011·北京，29) A．Since B．Once
C．Unless D．While

garage immediately. (2011·江苏，33) A．Otherwise B．If not
C．But for that D．If so
答案 D
解析句意为：听起来好像汽车的发动机出了故障。

如果这样的话，我们最好马上把它开到维修厂(修理一下)。

otherwise否则，要不然；if not如果不是这样的话；but for that要不是那样。

以上三项均不符合句意。

if so如果这样的话，符合句意。

if so相当于if something is wrong with the car’s engine。

5．We feel our duty to make our country a better place. (2011·天津，1) A．it B．this
C．that D．one
答案 A
解析句意为：我们觉得使我们国家成为一个更好的地方是我们的责任。

四个选项均为代词。

it在此处作形式宾语，指代后面的动词不定式短语to make our country a better place，语法结构正确；this指代下文将要涉及的内容，而that往往指代上文提到的内容；one作代词，指代同类不同物。

this，that和one均不能作形式宾语。

6．—What’s the matter with Della?
—Well，her parents wouldn’t allow her to go to the party，but she still .
(2009·江苏，33) A．hopes to B．hopes so
C．hopes not D．hopes for
答案 A
解析答语句意为：噢，她的父母不让她参加这个聚会，但是她仍旧希望能去参加。

根据but这个并列连词以及hope的用法可知此处应该用hopes to。

7．Some of you may have finished Unit One. ，you can go on to Unit Two.
(2009·江西，35) A．If you may B．If you do
C．If not D．If so
答案 D

so代替前句意思的肯定情况，而not代替前面意思的否定情况。

Ⅰ.单项填空
1．The judge condemned the criminal all his life in prison.
A．to spend B．spending
C．to spending D．spent
答案 A
解析句意为：法官宣判罪犯终生监禁。

condemn sb.to sth./to do sth.宣判某人……。

2．I wonder how he that to the teacher.
A．dare to say B．dare saying
C．not dare say D．dared say
答案 D
解析A项中dare为实义动词，dare应用过去式形式；dare后不接doing，故排除B项；
C项中dare为情态动词，其否定式应把not放在dare后。

故只有D项正确。

3．for us to surf on the sea in summer!
A．What exciting it is B．How exciting is it
C．What exciting is it D．How exciting it is
答案 D
解析考查感叹句。

在感叹句的用法中，what通常修饰名词，而how通常修饰形容词或副词，此处是“How＋adj.＋主语＋谓语”形式的感叹句。

故选D项。

4．He felt that it didn’t deserve .
A．consideration B．considering
C．to be considered D．all of the above
答案 D
解析deserve＋n./doing/to be done值得……。

5．Both the parents are away on business.Who do you advise the child at home?
A．attend B．to attend
C．attending D．attended

故选B项。

6．She for fifteen years，yet she didn’t know what kind of person she .
A．had married；married
B．had got married；married to
C．had been married；had married
D．married；had married to
答案 C
解析for fifteen years是时间段，谓语动词必须是延续性动词；get married相当于marry，是瞬间动词，不可延续；介词to只跟在be/get married之后，表示“与某人结婚”，因此应选C项。

7．Word comes that free souvenirs(纪念品) will be given to comes first.
A．no matter whom B．whomever
C．no matter who D．whoever
答案 D
解析四个选项中只有whoever可引导名词性从句，且在从句中作主语。

8．This is the first time we a film in the cinema together as a family.
A．see B．had seen
C．saw D．have seen
答案 D
解析在“This/It is the first/second...time＋that从句”中，that从句的谓语动词用现在完成时态。

句意为：这是第一次我们全家人一起到电影院看电影。

9．With the number of cars increasing rapidly in cities，a major problem is the cars can be parked.
A．which B．that
C．when D．where
答案 D
解析空格引导is的表语从句且在从句中作地点状语，故选D。

10．The wise parents can tell whether their children are telling the truth they listen to their excuses for wrong deeds.
A．the first time B．for the first time
C．every time D．for every time
答案 C
解析句意为：每次听孩子为错事找借口时，明智的父母就能分辨出孩子是否在说实话。

every time“每次”，在句中用作连词。

A项可用作连词，但与句意不符。

Uncle Tom gave little Vicki Black a birthday gift one week before her birthday.He told her not to open it until her birthday.She knew her mother wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after Vicki’s father passed away.Besides，Vicki didn’t want to get Uncle Tom angry.But little Vicki didn’t want to just hold it and guess what was in it.After all，she looked forward to his coming to show her interesting things，like how to turn an old sock into a doll.
All the day，Vicki couldn’t stop thinking about the gift.While her teacher was giving a lecture，Vicki sat still in her seat，drawing paper dolls inside the box.When school was done，she raced home.Walking into the room，again，she shook the present，but she heard nothing.Holding her breath，she opened the box and looked inside.Seconds later，she cried.When Mrs. Black saw the box，she said angrily，“Didn’t I tell you to leave it alone？” Vicki sobbed and said，“Mommy，you don’t understand.”
“Don’t cry to me.You have missed everything now，just because you couldn’t wait，”Mrs. Black accused.“What will Uncle Tom think now？”
“Uncle Tom gave me nothing，”Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother.“He played a trick on me.”
Mrs. Black said doubtfully，“Uncle Tom is not like that.You must have dropped it.”
Vicki kept crying.Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet.It was Uncle Tom.He looked at the empty box.“You have already done it？I told you to wait for your birthday.”
“You didn’t give me a gift.” Fresh tears filled her eyes.
“I try to give you something.I know your birthday is a special day.I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life.I think hard and get an idea to give you an important lesson.If you open it on birthday，I see you learn.Then I will make a big party to celebrate.Maybe next year you listen，and then you will understand the gift better.”
