考查定语从句。

Point是先行词，在从句中做宾语。

用关系代词。

选A。

9. He has lost the key to the drawer _____ the papers are kept.
A. where
B. on which
C. under which
D. which
参考答案：
A
试题分析：句意：他把钥匙落在了那个放卷子的抽屉里。

这里是一个定语从句，先行词the drawer表示的是地点，所以用where引导的定语从句，它在从句中作地点状语，on which及under which有时也等于where，但是在这里强调的是东西被锁在了抽屉里，故答案选A。

考点：考查定语从句的用法。

根据常识，天然杂交水稻自然是偶然之间发现的，之后他才倾注精力去研究。

故选B项。

13. It’s so cold this morning. I can’t remember ________ before.
A. a cold day
B. the coldest day
C. a colder day
D. the colder day
参考答案：
C
【详解】考查形容词比较级和冠词。

句意：今天早上好冷。

我想不起来以前更冷的日子了。

day为可数名词，此处表示泛指“一天”，且“否定词+比较级”即形容词的比较级用在否定结构中，可以表示“最……不过”、“不比……更”的意思，相当于形容词的最高级的含义。

上文can’t否定词加形容词比较colder表示“最冷……”，综上，故选C。

句中非常often说明这是经常性习惯性行为，一般现在时表示经常性习惯性行为，而且主语是单数名词my mother，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式takes。

故选D项。

【点睛】本题涉及了主谓一致的用法，主谓一致是考查较多的知识点。

重点掌握主谓一致的用法：1. 表示时间，价格，重量，数目，长度，数学运算等的词或短语作主语时，这些通常作一个整体概念，谓语用单数形式。

例如：
Two months is a long holiday. 两个月是一个长假。

Twenty pounds isn’t so heavy. 2 0英镑并不太重。

Ten miles isn’t a long distance. 1 0英里并不是一段很长的距离。

参考答案：
Dear Mike,
How are you doing these days?
Aimed at providing a platform where students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus book fair will soon be held in our school. The fair will attract a huge crowd from the entire school, who are to sell, purchase and exchange their books with their peers.
As a regular visitor, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn by the fair. For one thing, the fair exhibits books of hundreds of types on diverse topics, motivating us to further develop our reading habits and helping to broaden our horizons. For another, most books are sold at a lower price than what the bookstores
offer.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to host such a book fair better.
Yours,
Li Hua
三、阅读理解
21. Shyness May Be Partly Inherited(遗传)
About 92 million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.
The studies were discussed at the American Psychological Convention.
One study, by Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys.
Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.
According to Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. "With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations," he said, "shyness is a national concern."
Not all shy people are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.
Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. "This is not true of females. Perhaps,
American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."
Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.
The psychologists said shyness seems to be cultural. Japan has the highest rating. China and Israel have the lowest rating. The United States rated in the middle.
21. The word "trait" in the first paragraph means ______
A. way
B. tradition
C. character
D. possession
22. Those babies studied were ______ when they saw unfamiliar people or different toys.
A. tense or fearful
B. calm
C. as usual
D. stable
23. Which of the following statements is Wrong?
A. Researchers began to study shyness when it was known to them.
B. According to Warren Jones, shyness had something to do with social relations
C. Some shy people are anxious and fearful, some not.
D. Shyness can perhaps make people do very well socially.
24. Why would American men rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent（无能）?
A. shyness is usually used as an excuse by them.
B. shyness is a good excuse.
C. females don't use shyness as an excuse.
D. they are under the pressure of social situations.
25. We can learn from this passage that ______
A. shyness is naturally inherited
B. shy people have virtues as well as shortcomings.
C. females don’t use shyness as an excuse
D. which country has shy people.
参考答案：
21. C 22. A 23. A 24. D 25. B
本文属于说明文，介绍研究人员开始研究害羞，害羞的人有缺点也有优点。

【21题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据第一段About 92 million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.可知，约有9200万美国人害羞，有一半人由于遗传的原因，根据inherited 遗传可知，一半的人遗传了害羞这个性格，故选C。

【23题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.可知，害羞不是一个新鲜的事情，但是研究人员最近才开始研究，因而不是研究人员都知道了才开始研究害羞，故选A。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第七段Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations,以及第八段American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."可知，美国男性承受自信和成功的压力，用害羞作为社会情况失利的借口，因而宁愿说自己害羞也不愿意承认自己无能，故选D。

【25题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第六段Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.以及倒数第二段Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.可知，害羞的人有缺点，也有优点，故选D。
