第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）
第一节单项填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

1.It is reported that _____ 3 percent _____ was the government’s aim.
A. 不填; economic growth
B. a; economy growth
C. the; economical growth
D. a; economic growth
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词、形容词和名词。

句意：据报道，3%的经济增长是政府的目标。

economic growth经济增长，结合句意此处指“一次具体的增长”，前面应该用不定冠词，故答案为D。

2.The boy _____on the ground _____ to his father that the hen ______ two egges that day.
A. laying ;lied; laid
B. lying; lied; laid
C. lying; lay; lied
D. lay; lied; laid
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查lie和lay的用法。

句意：那个躺在地上的男孩对他的父亲撒谎说那只母鸡那天下了两个蛋。

第一个空，lie（平放，躺卧），这里是现在分词做后置定语，答案为lying；第二空，lie（说谎），过去式是lied，lie to sb.向某人说谎，答案为lied；第三空，lay（下蛋，安置），其过去式、过去分词是laid，根据that day可知用一般过去时态，故选B。

3._____in the queue for half an hour, Tom suddenly realized that he had left his wallet at home.
A. To wait
B. Have waited
C. Having waited
D. To have waited
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：考查现在分词的完成式。

句意：已经排队等了半个小时了，汤姆突然意识到他
把钱包落家里了。

句子的主语Tom和动词wait之间是主谓关系，因此要用现在分词。

故选C。

考点：考查现在分词的完成式
4.It was the middle of night ________ my husband woke me up and told me to watch the football game.
A. while
B. that
C. as
D. when
【答案】D
【解析】
考查定语从句。

句意：在半夜时分丈夫把我叫醒看足球赛。

the middle of night是先行词，在从句中做时间状语，故用关系副词when=at which。

综上，选D。

点睛：此题考生极易选B，以为强调句型it is…that….，但要强调the middle of night，前面应该加介词at，变成It was at the middle of night that my husband woke me up and told me to watch the football game.再去掉it is…that…,还原为陈述句式：my husband woke me up and told me to watch the football game at the middle of night.没有at，句子不成立。

5.Taking this medicine, if _______, will of course do good to his health.
A. continued
B. to continue
C. continues
D. continuing
【答案】A
【解析】
if continued 是“if taking this medicine is continued”的省略形式。

6.The employee might have been dismissed by the employer last month,______ ?
A. hasn't he
B. didn't he
C. wasn't he
D. mightn't he
【答案】B
【解析】
考查反意疑问句。

句意：该雇员上个月也许已经被雇主除名。

一般情况下，反意疑问部分取决于主句谓语动词，如He is kind,isn’t he?但在must/might/could have done等表示推测的句子中，如果有明确的时间状语，反意疑问部分取决于该时间状语。

last month 用于过去时，故选C。

7.It is vital to ______ to teenagers the simple fact that _______ the Internet
will more or less do harm to both mental and physical health.
A. get over; addicted to
B. get across; being addicted to
C. get through; addicting to
D. get down; addicting themselves to
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。

句意：向青少年传达一个简单的事实是，沉迷于网络或多或少会对精神和身体健康造成伤害。

A. get over克服; addicted to；B. get across通过，使被理解; being addicted to沉迷于；C. get through通过，完成; addicting to；D. get down下来; addicting themselves to使自己沉迷于。

结合句意第一空应该填get across；第二空是动名词做主语。

故选B。

8._______ his age, the little boy read very well.
A. Considering
B. Considered
C. Consider
D. Having considered
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

Consider与句子主语the little boy为主谓关系所以用现在分词做状语。

句意：考虑到年龄问题，小男孩读的相当不错。

故选A。

9.When ____about what she thought of the movie, she just said it was worth seeing a second time.
A. being asked
B. asking
C. asked
D. to be asked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词做状语。

句意：当被问及她对这部电影的看法时，她只是说值得再看一次。

这是状语从句常见的省略现象。

当从句和主句的主语一致时并且从句的谓语是系动词，这是从句的主语和系动词可以一起省略。

when（she was） asked about what she thought of the movie,she just said that it was worth seeing a second time.此处句子主语she和ask之间是被动关系。

故答案为C。

10.--- What caused the party to be put off? --- ______ the invitations.
A. Tom delayed sending
B. Tom’s delaying sending
C. Tom delaying to send
D. Tom delayed to send
【答案】B
【解析】
试题分析：考查动名词做主语的用法：问句是：什么导致会议被推迟的？回答应该是主语的内容，回答是省略式，完整的句子是：Tom’s delaying sending caused the party to be put off。

Tom’s是逻辑主语，delay后面接动名词，选B。

考点; 考查动名词作主语
点评：做题时要学会分析句子成分，如果缺少主语的话，动词要用动名词做主语，但是有的句子是省略式，考生可以把句子还原再进行判断。

11.The boy often gives a satisfactory answer to the teacher’s question, ______ just a minute. So he’s usually the teacher’s pet.
A. thought
B. having thought
C. and to think
D. thinking
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词做伴随状语。

这个男孩经常能给老师的提问一个令人满意的答案，只用一小会儿。

因此，他通常是老师的宠儿。

句子是现在时的，所以A不对；C不定式后面要用动词原形，也错了；B是分词的完成式，原来是thinking 表示某一次动作完成并产生影响，但原句说的是通常情况，而不是一次情况，所以也错了。

D. thinking 这个是可以的，现在分词做伴随状语，表示一种状态，“他通常只用想一小会儿”。

故选D。

12.Easter Island, which was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each ______ several tons.
A. weighing
B. weighs
C. weighed
D. to weigh
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词。

句意：1722年复活节那天，一个荷兰船长在复活节岛上发现了几乎无人居住的复活节岛，上面覆盖着数百个巨大的雕像，每个雕像重达几吨。

句子主语是Easter Island；逻辑主语是each，指giant statues，和weigh之间是主动关系，所以此处是现在分词的独立主格结构，故选A。

13.Though a typhoon is on the way, people are still looking forward ______ the outdoor concert by the pop singer.
A. to canceling
B. not to canceling
C. not to cancel
D. to not canceling
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析：考查固定短语。

句意：虽然台风正在路上，人们仍然期待着不要取消由流行歌手举办的户外音乐会。

looking forward not to do希望不要，故选B项。

考点：考查固定短语
14.The government has announced plans to cut back _____ defence spending ____ 10% next year.
A. upon; to
B. on; by
C. of; by
D. for; to
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。

句意：政府已经宣布计划明年削减10%的国防开支。

固定词组：cut back on消减；表示“消减了、上升了等”用介词by，故选B。

15.As we have seen, Paul was opposed to lifestyle of fo-xi, to

我们最好买一些。

固定词组：run out of（相当于及物动词）---，用完---，耗尽---

C. the one
D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查替代。

句意：虽然我们在呼吸时产生碳，但我们生产的碳比汽车所产生的碳要少得多。

“the+不可数名词”用that替代，此处用that替代the carbon，故选D。

【点睛】英语替代词的使用技巧：替代表特指的单数名词
替代表特指的单数名词，可用it, that, the one。

三者的区别是：
1. 替代单数可数名词时，三者均可用；替代不可数名词时，不能用the one，而要用it 或that。

此时it与that的区别是：表示同一事物时，用it；表示同类事物时，用that 或the one。

如：
T he weather here is too cold. I don’t like it. 这儿的天气太冷了，我不喜欢这儿的天气。

(it在此就指前面提到的the weather)
The weather of Beijing is colder than that of Guangzhou. 的天气比广州冷。

(that 在此指代的天气与前面提到的天气为同类)
My uncle bought me a dictionary and I like it very much. 我叔叔给我买了一本词典，我非常喜欢它。

(it在此就是指前面提到的叔叔给我买的词典)
Your dictionary is more useful than the one my uncle gave me. 你这本词典比我叔叔给我的那本词典更有用。

(the one在此表示与前面提到的词典为同类)
2. 替代事物时，三者均可用；替代人时，只能用the one。

如：
Who is her husband?—The one by the window. 哪位是她的丈夫？——窗户边的那一位。

注：当要替代性别不明的婴儿时可用it。

3. 当有前置定语修饰时，只能用the one。

如：
Which do you want?—The red one. 你想要哪个?——那个红的。

She would rather have the small one than the large one. 她宁愿要小的，不要大的。

4. 当有后置定语修饰时，通常用the one。

如：
My room is better than the one next door. 我的房间比隔壁房间好。

He said he would have the one near him. 他说他要靠近他的那一个。

Is that the one that was published recently? 是最近出版的那一种吗?
Here are six rings. Pick out the one you like best. 这里有六枚戒指，选出你最喜欢的一枚。

但是，若后置定语为of引起的介词短语，则通常用that。

如：
The population of China is much larger than that of Japan. 人口比日本人口多得多。

A grandparent’s job is easier than that of a parent. 祖父母的任务比父母的任务要轻松一些。

19.We need to give them ________ for their attitude and performance today, in the game it is very harsh to lose it the way we need.

D. as many times as
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查倍数。

句意：当时英镑的价值是今天的价值的好几倍;所以你可以看到他当时有多富有。

故选C。

【点睛】英语的几种倍数表达方法
1. 表示“几倍大小（长短；数量）”，由“倍数+ the size（length，amount……）”结构组成。

例如： The earth is forth-nine times the size of the moon. 地球是月亮的49倍大。

2. 表示“……比……大几倍”，由“倍数+形容词（副词）比较级”结构组成。

例如：This box is three times bigger than that one. 这个盒子比那个盒子大三倍。

3. 表示“……是……倍”，由“倍数+ as +形容词+ as +”结构组成。

例如： Our factory is twice as big as theirs. 我们的工厂是他们的三倍。

[注] 一倍用once，两倍用 twice。

4.还可以用by+倍数，表示增加多少倍。

The production of grain has been increased by four times this year. 今年粮食产量增加了4倍。

5.A+谓语+倍数+what从句。

例如：The price of the meat is twice than what it was last year.肉价是去年的两倍。
