—It depends.I'm afraid I'll be called in by my boss.
A．suitable B．available
C．accurate D．convenient
解析：考查形容词词义辨析。

问句句意为：约翰，今天下午你有空吗？available(指物)可利用的；可达到的；有效的；(指人)有空的；suitable合适的，适合的；accurate准确的；convenient方便的。

注意：convenient不可以用“人”作主语。

答案：B
2．(2012衡水模拟)In no case go the law of nature or we'll meet endless suffering.
A．we can；by B．can we；for
C．we can；round D．can we；against
解析：考查倒装。

句意：我们决不能违背自然规律，否则将遭受无尽的灾难。

in no case决不，绝不，为否定介词短语，位于句首时后面的句子用部分倒装。

go against违背，反对。

答案：D
3．(2012江津五中月考)If I where he lived，I a note to him.

4．Please take this medicine twice a day，and it should your headache.
A．comfort B．cure
C．treat D．recover
解析：考查动词辨析。

cure后可直接跟表示疾病的名词作宾语，也可用“cure sb.of＋表示疾病的名词”，强调结果。

comfort后常接sb.，作“安慰”讲；treat只指对某种疾病进行治疗，不表示结果，其用法是treat sb.for...；recover痊愈，“人”作主语，其后跟from。

答案：B

A．if not dealing with properly
B．unless dealing with properly
C．if properly dealt with
D．unless properly dealt with
解析：考查状语从句的省略。

在主从句主语一致的情况下，可以省略从句的主语和be动词。

而主语the climate situation与动词短语deal with之间为被动关系，故用过去分词。

答案：D
6．Though I had a serious headache，I could it.
A．live on B．live by
C．live for D．live with
解析：考查动词词组辨析。

句意：尽管头痛得厉害，但是我能够忍受。

答案：A
10．—Are you really through with the job?
—，I've only just begun.
A．On the contrary B．On the other hand
C．On the whole D．In conclusion
解析：考查介词短语辨析。

短语be through with sth.意思是“做完、完成”，对方答道“刚开始”，故选A，意为“恰恰相反”。

B用于叙述事情时常用于on the one hand...on the other hand“一方面……另一方面”；C“从总体上讲”；D“最后”，均不符合句意。

答案：A
11．When a pencil is partly in a glass of water，it looks as if it .
A．breaks B．has broken
C．were broken D．had been broken
解析：考查虚拟语气。

as if引导的状语从句如果与事实一致，不用虚拟语气，如果与事实相反，应用虚拟语气。

题中“当铅笔的一部分浸在水中时，铅笔看上去好像断了”，而实际上铅笔并未断，与事实相反，前半部分陈述是一般现在时，因而本句是对一般现在时的虚拟，用were broken。

答案：C
12．(2012昆明模拟)I was so tired that I closed my eyes，I fell asleep.
A．the moment B．the moment when
C．for the moment D．at the moment when
解析：the moment在句中用作连词，意为“一……就……”，后面不可再接when。

句意：我是如此疲惫以至于一合上眼睛，我就睡着了。

for the moment为副词短语，意为“暂时，目前”。

答案：A
13．Of the 1,000 stock investors last month,90% were found in financial knowledge.
A．surveyed；lacking
B．having been surveyed；to lack
C．surveyed；lacked
D．to have been surveyed；lack
解析：考查非谓语动词。

investors与survey存在逻辑动宾关系，第一空为过去分词作后置定语；be lacking in为形容词短语，表示“在……方面缺少”。

此处lacking in作主语补足语。

答案：A
14．(2012淄博模拟)In fact，most of us would the consequences of stupid decisions taken by others.
A．handle B．solve
C．follow D．suffer
解析：句意：事实上，我们中的大部分人都会因为别人的愚蠢决定而吃亏。

handle“处理，操纵”；solve“解决”；follow“跟随，追赶，紧接着，遵循，沿着，明白”；suffer“遭受，忍受，受损失”。

答案：A
15．(2012南京模拟)Don't you think it essential that every resident of Nanjing spare no effort to make contributions to Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games?
A．should B．will
C．shall D．would
解析：句意：南京的每一位居民都应该不遗余力地为2014年在南京举行的青年奥运会作出贡献，难道你不认为这是非常必要的吗？在“it is/was＋形容词＋that从句”的结构中，从句中的谓语动词常用虚拟语气，即should＋动词原形(包括系动词be)，表示惊讶、遗憾、怀疑、不满等情绪。

常用的形容词有important，essential，necessary，natural，strange，advisable，desirable，surprising等以及过去分词如advised，suggested，requested，required，recommended，ordered等。

答案：A
Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2012重庆模拟)I suddenly felt like drinking some wine last night，because I had a tough decision to make.It's been too long for me to live in the shadow created by myself！Darkness has taken me but fortunately，I finally woke up and decided to make my way out.
Amanda bought me a bottle of wine which tasted as bitter as the life I had been undergoing.I told her what I had experienced.It is I who chose to be like this！It's my own choice！Had I not come back from Singapore，not decided to leave FX，not divorced with Maggie，I would not have met you！There are too many things，which are not supposed to happen，but happened to me!
My job is stable but not well­paid，interesting but not challenging，relaxing but not what I want.There's nothing about the job I am proud of，except that I can be the interpreter for the vice mayor sometimes.But is it a big deal？No，I don't think so!
There are now two options in front of me.I can either choose to stay in government or leave for foreign companies.I asked Amanda for advice，who suggested me to stay still in the government，and my parents also asked me to be patient！But my mind is totally blank now，and I don’t know which to choose.I'm confused!
Neither option is convincing，in terms of payment and long­term improvement.Working for the govenment will give me a stable career life.I won't need to worry about my sales targets and whatever insurance.But I will never be rich again！Working for a foreign company will bring good salaries and bonus to me.But I will be under great pressure to achieve whatever goals made by the company！I'm no longer a young salesman.My confidence is no longer as strong as before!

4．What's the author's attitude towards his decision?
A．Determined. B．Optimistic.
C．Uncertain. D．Contented.
解析：推理判断题。

what it's doing to me.I wonder what it is like in your family.What should I do?

Dear Peter，
I'm surprised this kind of thing should happen in your country...
One possible version：
Dear Peter，
I'm surprised this kind of thing should happen in your country.Here in China parents usually take their children to all kinds of courses after class，which are supposed to help them get top grades in all exams.But in my family my parents treat me as their friend and won't put too much pressure on me and allow me to develop my own interest in art，music and sports.So I'm pretty lucky in this aspect.
I suggest that you have a heart­to­heart talk with your parents and tell them that they should set high standards，reward achievements but not punish poor performance.I'm sure they will understand you sooner or later.
Yours，
Li Hua。
