Ⅱ.完成句子
1．It was only after he had spent several nights experimenting ________________(他决定)to write to Dr Williams to find out if he was wasting his time.(decide)

答案：something new to deal with
6．Wally，________________(在护士的陪伴下)，was flown directly to a hospital for more intensive treatment.(accompany)
解析：考查定语的用法。

“在……陪伴下”可表达为be accompanied by；本句是定语从句，所以答案为who was accompanied by the nurse.这种定语从句常可改为过去分词作定语，即accompanied by the nurse 。

答案：(who was)accompanied by the nurse
7. ________________(油漆成红色)，the building stands out among the rest and looks very attractive. (paint)
解析：考查分词作状语。

paint与主句主语the building成被动关系且该动作业已完成，故用painted。

答案：Painted red
8．Listen! The head teacher along with the students ________________(受批评) in the next room by the headmaster.(criticize)
解析：考查主谓一致和动词时态、语态。

Along with不影响主语，所以谓语动词的单复数形式由the head teacher来决定；由语境可知criticize的动作是正在进行的，故用被动进行时。

答案：is being criticized
9．No wonder you are being scolded by Mom；you were out playing football when you __________(应该学习)．(ought)
解析：考查情态动词的用法。

ought to have done表示“本来应该做……而实际上并没有做……”。

答案：ought to have been studying
10．Had little Tommy taken more care of himself，he ________________(不会病倒) last night.(fall)

由于面部肌肉扭曲，照镜子时我都认不出自己了。

recognize辨认出，辨别出，符合语境。

然而我不想让自己清醒的意识阻碍我(去参加面试)。

4．A.driven B．turned

解析：选C。

上文讲到此时的我照镜子都几乎认不出自己，妈妈心疼我，温柔地说，可是你看起来那么不正常。

解题时要注意句中的省略号。

文章没有提到作者身体虚弱(weak)；妈妈说话温和，因此不是责怪作者固执或生气。

注意情景的跳跃与转换。

“你好，你是Jenkins小姐吗？”显然这里是面试的考官在和我打招呼，因此选C。

结合语境判断选A，我刚从医院赶过来，医生说我患了面部神经麻痹，可能这种情况会持续几天才会恢复。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Words：371 难度系数：☆☆建议用时：6′
(2011年合肥质量检测)While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who，and different relationships between their classmates，I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports.
When I was young，my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships.But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend.It’s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex.In my opinion，even though some high
school relationships might continue after graduation，the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.
Firstly you have to think about such a question－whether it is possible to hurt both of you，or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives.My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow.Except this，there really is not any other reason for dating.Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic.While these are nice to have，there are many more important things at this point in our lives.
The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students.Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us.I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.
【解题导语】在很多高中生关注谁喜欢谁及同学之间不同的关系的时候，“我”选择学习和运动。

“我”认为同学间保持普通朋友关系是最好的。

1．The author writes this passage probably for________to read.
A．high school students B．school teachers
C．parents and teachers D．married couples
解析：选A。

事实细节题。

文章第一段提到“While most high school students spend most of their time...”，再结合最后一段可知，文章的写作对象是high school students。

故A项符合题意。

2．Between sexes，the relationship of being good friends might be__________than that of being boy/girl－friends.
A．weaker B．safer
C．slimmer D．stronger
解析：选D。

事实细节题。

文中第二段提到“the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it”，由此可知在高中发展男女朋友关系是不会长久的，即普通朋友关系比男女朋友关系能更持久、更稳固。

3．How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?
A．Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.
B．Studying is far more important than dating in school.
C．In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.
D．Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.
解析：选B。

推理判断题。

文中倒数第二段提到“While these are nice to have，there are many more important things at this point in our lives.”，作者认为此时还有更重要的事情去做，比如学习。

4．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to__________.
A．the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school
B．advice given by both teachers and parents
C．the pressure from school lessons and sports
D．the relationship between students of opposite sexes
解析：选D。

词义猜测题。

根据文章的主要意思可知此处讲的是我们要用恰当的方式来处理与异性之间的关系并遵循老师的建议。

因此D项符合题意。
