Ⅱ.阅读理解
（2013·临沂高三一模)The United States is already one year into a depression. That was the news this week from the National Bureau of Economic Research。

The downturn is the longest since a depression that began in 1981 and lasted sixteen months。

Economists generally wait for production to shrink for six months in a row before they declare a recession. But the bureau, a private group，
uses a wider set of information to measure the economy. The news only confirmed what many people already knew: that the world’s largest economy is weak and may not recover soon。

Worsening conditions have led to a big drop in spending，especially on costly products like new cars。

Even Japanese automaker Toyota saw its sales fall thirty­four percent in the United States in November from a year ago。

The heads of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors returned to Congress this week to again ask for federal aid. Congressional leaders denounced （指责) them two weeks ago after they came in private jets with no clear plans for saving their industry. This time，the chiefs drove to Washington in fuel。

saving hybrid vehicles. And their companies presented detailed restructuring plans。

The request for aid has risen from twenty。

five billion dollars two weeks ago to thirty。

four billion in loans and credit lines。

G．M。

wants almost half of that, and says it needs four billion dollars this month. It warned that without support it cannot continue to operate.
Ford is in a better position。

But the sharing of suppliers means it could be affected if G．M. or Chrysler fails. Ford is asking for a nine billion
dollar credit line in case it needs it.
Chrysler is the smallest and most trouble of America’s Big Three。

It says it needs a seven billion dollar loan by the end of the month。

Two days of congressional hearings began Thursday in the Senate Banking Committee. The chairman，Democrat Chris Dodd，said he would support helping the automakers for the good of the economy. But the committee's top Republican，Richard Shelby，continued to express opposition to a bailout （财政援助）．
A main root of the world financial crisis is the weak housing market in the United States. The Treasury Department has been under pressure to help troubled homeowners. Now comes news that the department is developing a plan aimed at reducing interest rates on mortgage loans (汽车贷款) for some buyers of homes。

That could be good for homeowners trying to sell。

1．From the first two paragraphs, we know ________.
A．the United States is expected to recover soon
B．the depression has lasted more than 16 months
C．the depression is much more severe than expected
D．the depression will last no more than 6 months
2．Why were the automakers refused federal aid two weeks ago?
A．Because the government had no extra money to help.
B．Because they didn’t have a clear plan to save their industry.
C．Because they had wasted too much on costly new cars.
D．Because they had enough money to save their industry.
3．Which of the following is asking for the largest federal aid？
A．G.M。

B．Toyota。

C．Chrysler。

D．Ford。

4．From the passage we may know Richard Shelby ________ the automakers' request for federal aid。

A．was for B．was against
C．didn't care about D．took no notice of
5．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The hearings on Thursday agreed to federal aid to the automakers.
B．The main cause of the crisis is the weak housing market in the U．S..
C．The government is taking measures to save the housing market.

Ⅰ.1。

选B 根据语境可知，第一个人在抱怨，故B项符合语境.“很抱歉听到这些”,可用于对抱怨和投诉的回应。

2．选A give a vivid description意为“给出了生动的陈述”；case 特指双方都知道的案件，故其前加定冠词the.
3．选D recognize与句子的宾语his work之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动形式,据此可将A、B、C项排除.“get ＋宾语＋过去分词"作宾语补足语。

4．选A 考查形容词辨析。

句意：当今，孩子的创造力急剧提高，因为他们被鼓励去发展个人才能。

sharp “急剧的”，符合句意.slight“轻微的”;natural “自然的”;modest “谦虚的;中等的”。

5．选D 句意：很多人并未清楚地意识到他们孩子的坏习惯所带来的危险,这些坏习惯会导致孩子们的梦想无法实现。

空格后不是句子,所以排除C；aware后接of排除A；aware的修饰语不能用very，排除B；故选D。

6．选A 句意：学生们极力主张在放假期间图书馆应当照常开
放.urge后的宾语从句中，谓语用“should＋动词原形”，should可省略，且keep与library之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故选A项。

8．选C 句意：看！这些正在建的新房子完工后将要供低收入家庭居住。

由now可知房子应该是“正在被建”，being built作后置定语修饰new houses。

9．选A 考查名词辨析。

句意：地震之后，当地政府首先做的事情是为无家可归的家庭提供住所。

既然是“无家可归”,所以要解决的应该是“住所”。

A项是“住宿；住所"；B项是“占有;职业”;C 项是“设备”；D项是“家具”，故A项符合。

10．选D 句意：她尝试使他平静下来,但却起到了相反的效果,也就是说，他脾气失控了。

cautious“小心的”；awful“可怕的；恐怖的”；vivid“形象生动的”；opposite“相反的”。

14．选B 句意：那位歌手能说不同方言的能力被反映在她唱的歌中。

react和respond意为“反应"，均为不及物动词，不用于被动语态，且与介词to搭配；recover意为“恢复”;be reflected in意为“被反映在……中”,符合句意，故选B项。

15．选C 句意:太遗憾了！我在机场没有接到老板，因为我的车由于交通堵塞耽搁了。

hol d up “阻挡;使延误”,符合句意.

由此可知选
项B正确.
3．选A 细节理解题。
