考察情态动词。

句意：在今天的信息时代，数据的丧失有时会对一个公司造成严重的问题。

C选项正确。

其余情态动词均没有该用法。

need需要；should应该，竟然；must必须，肯定。

点睛：can的根本用法：1. (表示才能、功能)能，会；2. (表示推测)可能，可能会；3.〔表示允许，恳求〕可以；4.〔表示客观可能性〕有时会。

【详解】考察动词时态语态。

句意：据我们所知，间隔所有的地铁线路投入使用还有好几年。

all the metro lines与putinto operation是被动关系，应使用被动语态；在时间是状语从句中，主句是一般将来时，遵循“主将从现〞的原那么，所以从句用一般如今时。

9.The 70th anniversary military parade demonstrates the fact to the whole world _____ China has made great progress in the past few decades.
A. where
B. which
C. why
D. that 【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考察同位语从句。

句意：70周年大阅兵向世界证明了这个事实，中国在过去的二十年里获得了宏大的进步。

分析句子成分可知，设空后的句子是对the fact的解释说明，是同位语从句，从句成分齐全，应使用只起引导作用、无句意的关系词that引导。

应选D。

【点睛】1.同位语从句通常对前面的名词起补充解释作用，两者之间是同位关系；而定语从句是用来说明先行词的性质或者特征，起修饰或者限制作用，两者之间是修饰与被修饰的关系。

例如：同位语从句——The fact that there no lives on the Mars is known to all of us.众所周知，火星上没有生命。

定语从句——The news that you read is uncertain.你读到的那那么新闻是不确定的。

2.在同位语从句中，that是附属连词，在句中只起到引导作用，没有详细的意义，且不做任何成分，但不能略，也不可用which代替；而在定语从句中，that是关系代词，它在从句中不但起连接作用，还在句中做主语、宾语或者表语。

做宾语时可略，指物时还可以用which代替，指人时常可以用who代替。

例如：同位语从句——The requirement that we should obey the school rules is known to us.遵守校规这个要求我们都清楚。

定语从句——Those school rules (that) the headmaster put forward is known to us.校长提出的这些校规大家都清楚。

3. 当when/why/where/how等引导同位语从句时，它们为连接副词，虽在句子中充当句子
成分，但前面没有与其意义一样的先行词；而在定语从句中when/why/where/为关系副
词，在其前面分别有表示时间是、原因、地点的名词作先行词。

例如：同位语从句——They raised the question where they would get the books.他提出了我们到哪里去拿
定语(dìngyǔ)从句——That's the reason why she failed this exam.那就是他考试失败的原因。

10.Yesterday, Jane walked away from the heated discussion. Otherwise, she _____ something arbitrary that she would regret forever.
A. must have said
B. said
C. might say
D. might have said
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考察虚拟语气。

句意：昨天Jane分开了那场热烈的讨论，否那么她可能会说一些让她永远遗憾的武断的话。

otherwise在此相当于if she had not walked away from the discussion，即暗示一个与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，所以主句要用should/would/could/might+have done。

应选D。

11.When asked about that horrible experience, Sue told me that so ______ in the darkness at that time that she didn't dare to move an inch.
A. she was scared
B. was she scared
C. scared she was
D. scared was she
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考察倒装句。

句意：当被问起那可怕的经历，Sue告诉我黑暗中她特别害怕，以致于不敢挪动。

so+adj. / adv.位于句首时，其后的句子用局部倒装。

应选D。

12.As is often the case, there are always some barriers in the way, something
_____ before we realize the real goal of our life.
A. to be got through
B. got through
C. getting through
D. having been got through
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考察非谓语动词。

句意：通常情况下，在我们实现生活真正的目的前，我们的道路上会有一些必需要通过的障碍。

本句是不定式作定语，修饰不定代词something，表示
即将发生的事情，且形成被动关系，要用to be done构造。

应选A。

13.The sharpest earthquake and the suffering _____brought about have had a lasting effect on the local people's life ever since.
A it B. which C. what D. that 【答案(dá àn)】A
【解析】
【详解】考察代词。

句意：这剧烈的地震和它带来的苦难，对当地人民生活带来了前所未有的持续影响。

分析句子构造可知，此处与brought about构成定语从句，修饰The sharpest earthquake and the suffering，关系词在从句中做宾语，已被略，这里it指代earthquake，在从句中做主语。

应选A。

14.Tom did not _____easily, but was willing to accept any helpful advice for a worthy cause.
A. approach
B. wrestle
C. compromise
D. communicate
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考察动词辨析。

A. approach接近；B. wrestle搏斗；C. compromise妥协；D. communicate交流。

根据句意及选项可知，C项符合语境。

15.—I’m burnt out as I’ve been working on my essay all the time.
—____________. You’ll surely make it.
A. Don’t put on airs
B. Give me a break
C. Don’t get on my nerve
D. Hang in there
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考察情景对话。

句意：——我一直在写论文，累坏了。

——坚持下去。

你一定会成功的。

A. Don’t put on airs不要摆架子；B. Give me a break让我休息一下；C. Don’t get on my nerve别惹我生气；D. Hang in there坚持下去。

根据You’ll surely make it.可知这里意思是坚持下去，应选D。

B
For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating
their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer.
Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative.
Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring (明显(míngxiǎn)的) forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.
The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degr ee of control over their own and others’ working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs (齿轮) in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated (疏远) from their work and their firm.
38. In the writer’s opinion, people judge others mainly by ________.
A. the type of work they do
B. the place where they work
C. the time they spend at work
D. the amount of money they earn
39. According to the writer, to solve problems in an industrial society, we
________.
A. should create more working opportunities for the poor
B. have to get rid of the unequal aspects in work
C. had better cancel all managing positions in a company
D. should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency
40. What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers?
A. They won’t be out of work.
B. They get time off to learn constantly.
C. They can work at what interests them.
D. They have complete control over themselves.

C
It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.
She didn’t share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary
things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.
While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with
fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet—and they have very real bad consequences.
False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater
side effects through the “nocebo effect (反抚慰剂效应) 〞. Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干预) simply because they believe they will—
that’s the placebo effect (抚慰剂效应) . The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.
What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗(yìmiáo)) . False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.
Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation—many of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think can cer tumors are。
