【创新方案】2013届高考复习英语二轮测试卷(安徽用)：检测卷(五)

检测卷(五)(建议复习完语法专题“第五讲非谓语动词”后使用)
第Ⅰ卷
Ⅰ.单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
1．(2012·宿州第一次质检)This restaurant, ________ by an old couple, has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
A．owning B．to own
C．having owned D．owned
解析：选D。

考查非谓语动词。

分析句子结构可知，“own”与“this restaurant”构成逻辑上的动宾关系，且“________ by an old couple”作“this restaurant”的后置定语，故用own 的过去分词形式，选D。

2．(2012·泰安二模)As we all know, every minute ________ full use of ________ our lessons will do good to us.
A．which makes; studying B．that is made; to study
C．when is made; to study D．that is made; studying
解析：选B。

考查定语从句及非谓语动词。

句意：我们都知道，被充分利用来学习功课的每一分钟都对我们有益。

“that is made full use of to study our lessons”是定语从句，修饰先行词“every minute”，其中“to study our lessons”是不定式短语作目的状语。

3．(2012·浙江六校联考)New surveys suggest that people are more stressful and working longer hours than ever with technological tools constantly ________.
A．updating B．updates
C．updated D．to update
解析：选C。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：新调查显示，随着技术工具的不断更新，人们的压力比以前更大，工作时间更长。

分析句子结构可知，update和technological tools之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用update的过去分词形式作宾语补足语。

4．(2012·蚌埠二中模拟)Train tickets sold online or by telephone have topped 2 million daily, ________ that around one-third of passengers don't have to wait for several hours to get a ticket.
A．meaning B．means
C．to mean D．meant
解析：选A。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：通过网络和电话订购的火车票每天高达两百万张，
这就意味着大约三分之一的乘客不用排几个小时的队就能买到票。

meaning在句中是现在分词短语作状语，表示主动。

5．(2012·河南三市调研)The GPS, originally ________ by the U．S. military, covers the whole world now.
A．developing B．to be developed
C．developed D．having developed
解析：选C。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：最初由美国军队研制的全球定位系统现在覆盖了全世界。

the GPS与develop之间是被动关系，故用“developed by the U. S. military”这一过去分词短语作后置定语。

6．(2012·淮安第四次联考)________ all the doors were locked, Mr. Smith left for London on holiday.
A．Checking B．Checked
C．To check D．Having checked
解析：选D。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：确定所有门都锁好之后，Mr. Smith就去伦敦度假了。

check这个动作发生在left之前，故用现在分词的完成式在句中作状语。

7．(2012·泉州质检) ________ a lift on her way, Jenny finally managed to get to the station in time.
A．Offered B．Offer
C．Offering D．To offer
解析：选A。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：Jenny在路上搭乘了便车，最后设法及时赶到了车站。

Jenny与offer之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词短语作状语。

8．(2012·江南十校联考)Most companies' marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention ________ to keeping them.
A．paying B．to pay
C．paid D．having paid
解析：选C。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：大部分公司的营销工作以赢得顾客为中心，而很少注意留住他们。

本句的后半句是介词with的复合结构，attention与pay之间是动宾关系，且表示的是一般性的动作，故选C项。

9．(2012·宁波一模)Whom do you expect to have ________ the problem of overloaded school buses?
A．solve B．to solve
C．solved D．solving
解析：选A。

句意：你希望让谁来解决校车超载的问题？expect to do sth.表示“期望做某事”，have sb. do sth.表示“让某人做某事”。

本句是对“expect to have sb. do sth.”中的宾语sb.进行提问。

10．(2012·滨州二模)Mr. Smith often stays up, ________ lessons, books spread all over the desk.
A．preparing B．prepared
C．to prepare D．prepares
解析：选A。

考查非谓语动词。

句意：史密斯先生经常熬夜备课，桌子上散放的都是书。

preparing lessons是现在分词短语作状语，Mr. Smith与prepare之间是主动关系。

本句中的“books spread all over the desk”是独立主格结构。

11．(2012·望江县高三模拟)Mr. Li, who will retire from our school next year, is said ________ abroad when young.
A．to study B．to be studying
C．to have studied D．to have been studying
解析：选C。

考查非谓语动词。

由时间状语when young可知，study abroad发生在谓语动词动作之前，故用不定式的完成式。

12．(2012·淄博二模)The consumers, ________ in vain to the boss of the company several times, turned to the local government for help.
A．complaining B．complained
C．having complained D．to have complained
解析：选C。

考查非谓语动词。

分析句子结构可知，本句主谓完整，故此处只能用非谓语动词形式。

又因complain与其逻辑主语consumers之间为主动关系，且动作发生在谓语动词turned之前，故此处用动词-ing形式的完成式。

13．(2012·北京西城区期末)Always remember that your own decision ________ is more important than anything else.
A．to succeed B．succeeding
C．having succeeded D．succeeded
解析：选A。

考查非谓语动词的用法。

句意：永远记住，你想要成功的决定比别的什么
东西都重要。

不定式短语to succeed在句中作后置定语，符合语意。

14．(2012·河南三市二调)It was a wonderful experience! I still remember ________ to the Great Wall several years ago.
A．taking B．being taken
C．to take D．to be taken
解析：选B。

考查动名词的被动式。

句意：那是一次精彩的经历！我依然记得几年前被带去参观长城。

remember doing sth.表示“记得做过某事”，另外，逻辑主语I 跟take之间存在被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式。

15．(2012·安徽皖南八校联考)Something as simple as ________ vegetables in childhood may help to protect you against serious illnesses in later life.
A．to eat B．eating
C．to be eating D．eaten

My youngest eagerly entered kindergarten, while my oldest excitedly started college and I felt left behind. After being very happy as a stay-at-home mother of six children, I suddenly felt disappointed on a dead-end road and surrounded by a lack of direction. An inner anxiety troubled me that life was passing by. The road, requiring expensive education, appeared too long and difficult.
Thanks to supportive friends and family, I eventually discovered the road sign pointing to the ideal program at an excellent college, which offered a lot of tuition grants (学费资助). With anxiety and fear, I went to the college at age forty. Driving to my first master's class, I was as eager and nervous as children for the first day of school.
School required sacrifices: weekends for class, sleep for study, and life's extra money for tuition payments. Yet, as with all good things, the rewards greatly outweighed the cost. The narrow, rocky road developed will power and patience, while the smooth, open road built low confidence. Along the way, I met companions of all ages and interests: a 50-year-old woman who took part in photography classes at the college; a 62-year-old successful businessman who worked toward a nursing degree to serve in developing countries; an 80-year-old woman who enthusiastically started classes to use the Internet, so she could keep up with the world.
This past May, twelve years after starting the journey as a non-traditional student, I graduated with a doctoral degree in literature one week before our youngest child graduated from college. All six children have been especially proud, lovingly calling me “Dr. Mom”. Never could I have imagined the wild rush and great travel of this ride back to school. When you hear the small, still voice urging you to do something more or different, remember you
can trust your heart.

B．They were worthwhile compared to what she got.
C．They made her lose her confidence during the study.
D．They did little help on her way to success.
解析：选B。

A．it is never too late to learn
B．she had many classmates
C．women are more hard-working
D．learning is the only way for kids
解析：选A。

推理判断题。

根据第三段提到的“a 50-year-old woman ... a 62-year-old successful businessman ... an 80-year-old woman”可知，作者列举的都是年龄大的人在学习。

再结合该段内容可推断，这些例子用以说明活到老，学到老。

(2012·阜阳三中期末考试)Many businesses today use conferences as a means of discussing new plans of the company. As people are paying more attention to the environment and green problems, more businesses are looking for ways to reduce their negative effect on the environment. Many businesses do this by using Web conferencing.
Web conferencing is a technology that allows people to communicate more effectively over the Internet. It's an easy way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. Each of the people involved in a Web conference will be posted an invitation to the conference with the time and date of the Web conference on it. When the conference is ready to begin, all participants (参与者) must sit at their computers and they will be connected over the Internet.
With Web conferencing all participants attend the conference from the comfort of their own desk. Obviously, in doing this no fuel is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work time is taken up in attending a conference.
Any material to be used during Web conferencing is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. Participants can then either choose to print material or read it on screen. This not only saves paper but also greatly reduces mailing costs for the business.
As a conference hall or business center isn't being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power used by the participants' personal computers. Similarly conference organizers don't have to arrange for food or overnight accommodation(住宿) for participants of their conferences. All this means that less energy is used.
Often in business some companies actively choose to do business with other companies that do many things to reduce their negative impact on the environment. And Web conferencing helps you show other businesses that you are willing to work hard for the green cause.
So Web conferencing is much cheaper and greener and more people are willing to host and attend a Web conference.

In a little-known part of the counter-terrorism (反恐怖主义) world, one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20 pounds of fish a day.
Since the 1960s, the United States and a handful of other countries have trained dolphins and sea lions to detect sea mines and swimmers, and to recover worn-out torpedoes
(鱼雷) and testing objects used in naval (海军的) exercises.
The U．S. Navy kept its Marine Mammal Program a secret until the 1990s, and this spring CNN became one of the first- members of the media to witness firsthand how the program works.
The program trains about 75 Pacific bottlenose dolphins, with natural biosonar (生物声呐) that tracks better than any man-made device; and 35 California sea lions, with very good underwater eyesight.
Not only do these trained marine mammals track and save millions of dollars in U．S. military equipment, they are also helping to save lives. The Navy won't reveal whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively stopped terrorists attempting to do harm to the U．S.
A key part of the training program is teaching these mammals how to stop potentially unfriendly swimmers. The program is also positioned to defend against swimmer terrorist attacks as well.
In the digital age, it seems that there should be more advanced approaches to guard the Navy's most expensive things. But according to Rothe, the program director, nothing in today's high-technology world can compete with these mammals' biosonar abilities. “I hope that one day there is a robot or a UUV (unmanned underwater vehicle) that makes the mammal program out of date，”he said. “But right now this is the best thing out there.”
语篇解读：海洋动物也可以参与反恐，为国家安全尽力。

48．The U．S. Marine Mammal Program trained marine mammals to ________.
A．stop dangerous swimmers
B．catch 20 pounds of fish a day
C．destroy sea mines
D．fire torpedoes
解析：选A。

细节理解题。

49．The U．S. trained dolphins because they ________.
A．are clever B．swim very fast
C．have natural biosonar D．have good underwater eyesight
解析：选C。

A．The trained dolphins are the best way of protection available to the U．S. Navy.
B．There will be dolphin-like robots in the future according to Rothe.
C．The mammal program will become useless soon.
D．Rothe has no faith in today's high technology.
解析：选A。

推理判断题。

根据最后一段“... nothing in today's high-technology world can compete with these mammals' biosonar abilities”可知，在某种意义上讲，海豚是现今保卫美国海军最好的方法。

51．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Many countries have trained sea animals for counter-terrorism.
B．The Marine Mammal Program was a secret until the 1960s.

(2012·莆田一中质检)To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few “No's”．
There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land — an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.
There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.
The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉)and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.
Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Rather shoeless than bookless”，they proudly say.
A．no dogs are permitted in the capital
B．the police do not carry handguns
C．the climate is rather mild
D．it is very different from America
解析：选D。

推理判断题。

根据第一段内容可知，美国游客认为冰岛是一个非常有趣的国家，因为它与美国在许多方面大不相同，由此可推知，美国游客喜欢访问冰岛可能是因为它与美国有很大差异。

53．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.
A．there are no soldiers in Iceland
B．the Icelanders don't drink beer
C．there is no tip of any kind
D．there are no crimes in Iceland
解析：选D。

细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land”可知，在冰岛有一个有着35间牢房的看守所，说明在冰岛有犯罪行为，因此D项的叙述不正确。

54．There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because ________.
A．Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power
B．the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energy
C．it is located just under the Arctic Circle
D．it is a democratic independent country
解析：选B。

细节理解题。

根据第四段第二、三句内容可知，冰岛的间歇泉和温泉提
供了该国所需的所有能量，这是冰岛没有污染的主要原因。

55．“Rather shoeless than bookless” means ________.
A．they prefer not to have shoes or books
B．they would rather have shoes on than write books
C．they prefer traveling to reading

A healthy diet is not only about following strict diets or preventing yourself from the food you love. It's more about eating right, feeling great about yourself and staying fit and healthy. You can achieve this by following some basics and including them in your daily diet as well. However, before kick starting a healthy diet to lose weight plan, make this clear —don't expect an overnight success. Though a healthy diet for a healthy weight loss goal can be set in weeks, it will be more rewarding, if you can stand the changes in the long term.
The best healthy diet plan to lose weight should ensure that your body refuses the large amount of proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. The healthy diet plan to lose weight fast should also include fruits and vegetables. For losing weight effectively, it's important to focus on a diet plan that suits your lifestyle and the one you can stand for a long period of time.
A healthy diet to lose weight should ensure our well being. Following a healthy diet also lowers the risk of developing diseases like cancer. A healthy diet for losing weight should include a variety of healthy foods that provides the necessary nutrition to our body.

An hour of exercise every day will help you lose weight without having to cut down on your favorite foods. A good exercise program should include exercises like jogging, bicycling, swimming, etc. at least 4 days a week. Thus, following a healthy lifestyle in addition to a healthy diet to lose weight will help you lose it in a natural way.

Something Special for Parents
Not long ago, Student Union in our school advocated that Senior Three students should
do something special for their parents on their 18th birthday. All the students were actively in response to it and most of them have come up with their ideas. Some choose to write a letter, saying it's the best way to express their appreciation as well as love for their dearest parents. Others prefer to cook a big meal to show that they've already grown up.
As for me, I tend to do up hair, wash feet and cut fingernails for my parents. By doing what parents have been doing for me I can really know how much they devote to bringing me up. Also, being eighteen years old means it's time that I should take responsibility to take care of them.
