1．Japan says its prime minister promised to provide the world with "maximum transparency" about ____ accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant during _____ telephone call.

A. the; a

B. the; the

C. an; the

D. an; a

【解析】选A。考查冠词。福岛核电站的事故应用定冠词the；而电话谈话没有指明是哪一次，因此用不定冠词表泛指。句意为：日本表示，日本首相在一次电话谈话中承诺以“最大的透明度”向全世界通报福岛核电站的事故情况。

2．It is thought that Henan Shuanghui Industry Group Co., Ltd. ____take responsibility for its consumers.

A. can

B. may

C. must

D. need

【解析】选C。must表示义务、必要，意为必须。而need通常用于否定句，表示需要。句意为：人们认为河南双汇食品有限公司必须对它的消费者们负责。

3. The civil war in Libya that ______on March 12 _______ for a week until now.

A broke out; has lasted

B breaking out ; was lasted

C was broken out; has lasted

D broke out; lasting

【解析】选A。考查动词的时态和语态，本句是一个主从复合句，它的时间状语是3月12日，因此定语从句的谓语用一般过去时，且break out为不及物动词短语无被动语态，因此排除B,C两项，until now 与现在完成时连用，排除D项只有A项符合题意，故选A。

4. It was not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system ____ Americans realized the severity（严重性）of the situation.

A. which

B. that

C. what

D. when

【解析】选B。考查强调句型。not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system是被强调部分，因此后面用that引导主句。句意为：是直到次贷危机给美国的金融系统造成了巨大危害时美国人才意识到局势的严重性。

5. In order to make people to _____ money to the sick baby, he suggested the mother kneel down every few meters in the street.

A. distribute

B. provide

C. afford

D. donate

【解析】选D。考查动词词义辨析。句意为：为了使人们给那个生病的孩子捐钱，他建议孩子的母亲在大街上每几米就下跪一次。Distribute“分配；分发”；provide ...for...“为……提供”；afford“买得起，付得起”；donate捐赠，赠送。根据题意，故选D。

6．A serious forest fire broke out in Shandong, _______ the authority had to take immediate steps to protect the forest in Tai’an.

A. why

B. which

C. as

D. for which

【解析】选D。考查定语从句。根据句意可知前句是后句的原因，而此处why不能引导定语从句，需用for which；which引导定语从句指代前面整句内容，并在从句中作主语或宾语，但是后面的句子主谓宾都有，所以不用关系代词which或as。故选D。7．Nowadays children have to take arts, music and sports classes in their free time ____ busy schoolwork.

--- No wonder they have more and more pressure.

A. rather than

B. owing to

C. apart from

D. expect for

【解析】选C。考查介词短语。apart from“除了……之外”，符合句意“如今的孩子除了繁重

的学校作业外，他们还要在业余时间不得不上绘画，音乐和体育课”。rather than“而不是”；owing to“因为；由于”；expect for排除的是细节。

8．The biggest full m oon of 2011 occurred on a Saturday night, ______ Chinese observers to gather outside to record the splendor.

A. to lead

B. led

C. leading

D. having led

【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。leading和最大的月亮之间是主谓关系，用现在分词做结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，而不定式则表示出乎意料的让人失望的结果。句意为：2011年最大的月亮出现在一个星期六的晚上，致使中国观察者聚集在户外记录下这一光辉景象。9．I heard the alarm ringing all the morning. ____ something very urgent happened.

A. Really

B. Obviously

C. Especially

D. Terribly

【解析】选B。考查副词。句意：我听到警报声一早上响个不停，显然发生了紧急事情。obviously显然，明显地；符合句意。really真正地，强调事情的真假；especially尤其，特别；terribly糟糕地；可怕地。

10．The figures are further evidence ______ children are more likely to become near-sighted.

A. that

B. what

C. why

D. which

【解析】选A。考查名词性从句。that引导同位语从句，对evidence的内容进行说明，而且没有意义，只是起连接作用。其余选项引导同位语从句，在从句中都有意义和作用，所以只有A符合。句意为：这些数据进一步证明孩子们更有可能患近视。

11．The radiation from the nuclear power in Japan urged all the nations around to ______ their people to make preparations for possible disasters.

A. fight for

B. apply for

C. call on

D. wait on

【解析】选C。考查动词短语辨析。句意是：日本核电站的辐射使得周围的国家号召人们对可能出现的灾难做好准备。fight for与……做斗争；为……而战；apply for申请；call on 拜访（人）；号召；call on sb. to do sth. 号召某人做某事。wait on等待，伺候，服侍。根据句意选C。

12．______young people were making efforts to take more exercise and eat healthily, they are still putting on weight.

A. Because

B. Now that

C. When

D. While

【解析】选D。考查状语从句。while“尽管；虽然”，引导让步状语从句。句意为：尽管年轻人努力做更多运动，健康饮食，他们的体重还是增加。

13．He gets up at six o'clock, runs for half an hour and then has a meal; that is his morning .

A．policy B．behaviour C．tendency D．routine

【解析】选D。考查名词辨析。routine“程序；日常生活；例行公事”；根据“他每天早晨六点起床，跑步半小时，然后吃饭”可知是他的日常生活。所以选D。policy“政策”；behaviour“举止；行为”；tendency“倾向，趋势；癖好”。

14．There happened earthquakes in many places recently, one of ____ in Japan.

A. the others

B. them

C. it

D. which

【解析】选B。考查代词。根据句意“最近很多地方发生地震，其中之一是发生在日本”，可知用代词them代替前面的earthquakes。独立主格结构，因为不是完整的句子，故排除D 选B。

15．—It is so hot today! Do you mind if I drink this last bottle of beer, Susan?
