2. The quality of education in this small school is better than ________ in some larger schools.

C. it
D. this
参考答案：
A
[2015·天津卷]考查比较级中的代词。

句意：这个小型学校的教学质量比一些大一点的学校的教学质量要好。

that代替上文提到的“The quality of education”。

你的感受会如何？这里用it来指代后面if引导的宾语从句，所以选it。

it和that都可以替代“the＋单数可数名词或不可数名词”，都是特指，但it指代前面提到的“同一”事物，而that指前面提到的“同类”事物。

one替代“a＋可数名词单数”，表示泛指。

特指的the one相当于that；the one的复数形式the ones在口语中也常用those代替；当后面有of短语时，一般用that或those；当有前置修饰语时，只能用one(s)，如the red one。

one(s), the one(s), those, that都是替代“同类”事物，其中只有that可替代不可数名词。

3. _____himself with routine office tasks, he had no time to accompany his children.
A. Occupied
B. Occupying
C. Being occupied
D. To be occupied
参考答案：
B
试题分析：考查非谓语动词。

句意：忙于日常的办公任务，他没时间陪孩子。

句中Occupy 与oneself 连用，后面主语为he，他忙于某事，为主动因此用ing表示，故B正确。

三、阅读理解
18. The blockbuster film Titanic has brought millions of dollars and thousands of people to the theaters and continues to touch people today in their homes. Why is this film so successful? It is a combination of many different things. Among these are many different elements. Looking at some of these elements will show how the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally charged movie that appealed to millions.
The film uses one thematic（主题的）element called—The Truth of Human Nature. The two main characters seem to represent noble people. Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non-tolerant, rude and cold-hearted people. The element of focusing on the two main characters' love and emotion seems symbolic of an ideal state.
The film also addresses issues concerning different classes. This is done in a few different ways. The most noticeable way is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down. Throughout Titanic, the lighting is very important. The poor, lower class people are always shown in very warm-coloured light that gives them a sense of life and happiness. On the other hand, the rich, upper class are always shown in a flat light portraying the feeling of hardness and coldness. By using these techniques, they show the issue of class segregation（种族隔离）, and they create stereotypes. The main characters are able to break free of these stereotypes and be together. This is the solution to the segregation problem.
As you can see, Titanic took a lot of thinking and preparation to film in a manner that would create emotion and bring to the surface the issues and story of the great ship.

A. something very successful

goes down is used to ________.
A. criticize cold-hearted rich people

D. emphasize the condition of the poor then
43. Why were different colours of light used in the film Titanic? ________

B. The director was determined to achieve good visual effect.
C. The social status was represented by the color1 of light in the past.
