活页练(二十二) 单项填空＋阅读理解＋短文填词

Ⅰ.单项填空

1．—________ made Daisy wild with joy?

—Her success in the A­level exam this year.

A．How was it that B．When was it that

C．Why was it that D．What was it that

答案 D

解析考查强调句型的特殊疑问句形式。此处强调主语成分“Her success in the A­level exam this year.”，相当于问句中的what。

2．—You should have thanked her before you left.

—I meant________.But when I was leaving I couldn’t find her anywhere.

A．to do B．to

C．doing D．doing so

答案 B

解析本句中的meant意思是“本来打算”其后应该使用不定式。当与want，wish，hope，like，hate，try，have，ought，used，need，be able，be going，be glad，mean等连用时， to代替不定式结构以避免重复。

3．I________the hobby of fishing as a child.

A．built up B．set up

C．kept up D．took up

答案 D

解析考查动词短语辨析。build up意为“树立，逐步建立”；set up意为“树立(榜样)；创立；建立”；keep up意为“坚持；继续；使不低落”； take up意为“从事；

开始做，学着做”。

4．The poet and________pianist is going to give us a talk this afternoon.

A．a B．the

C．/ D．an

答案 C

解析当and并列的是同一事物、同一人或同一概念时，其后面的名词前不用冠词。若在pianist前加the，则是指the poet和the pianist两个人，而题目中的the poet and pianist是指一个人，即这个人既是诗人又是钢琴家。

5．—Hold the ladder for me!

—That’s________.

A．all B．it

C．all right D．right

答案 B

解析本题易错选A或C。That’s all意思是“就这些”，表示讲话或文章的结束；而That’s all right意思是“行；可以；没关系”。That’s it为固定搭配，意思是“这正是所需要的”。That’s right意思是“对，正确”。

6．I think whoever makes________contributions to the company than the others should get________income.

A．greater；a highest

B．more greater；a higher

C．greater；the highest

D．more greater；the higher

答案 C

解析more不可修饰比较级，排除B和D两项。greater...than the others是用比较级形式表示最高级意义，后面也用最高级，且最高级前要用定冠词the。

7．It is thought that one billion people in the world，________is half the world’s workers，earn their living by farming.

A．if B．that

C．which D．what

答案 B

解析句中“half the world’s workers”是对“one billion people in the world”

的补充说明，“that is”是“that is to say”的省略说法，是插入语，that并不是引导非限制性定语从句的，如果在“that is”后加个逗号则更清楚，应选B。8．—Your name again，p lease.________.

—It’s Bell Green.

A．I didn’t quite catch you

B．I couldn’t quite catch you

C．I don’t hear you

D．It’s your name

答案 A

解析让对方重复其姓名，是因为没有听清(表示事实)。catch此处意为“听清”。B 项是干扰项，说话人要表述的是“刚才没有听清”，而不是“不能听清”。

9．He________the job well，but he________so careless.

A．had done；had been

B．could do；was

C．could have done；was

D．hadn’t done；had been

答案 C

解析句意为：他本来能够做好那工作，但他太粗心了。答题的关键在于抓住句中的but ，but后面的句子是对过去事实的陈述，应用一般过去时；前面的句子则表示“本来能够……”，是对过去事情的推断，因此应用could have done。

10．In my opinion，what he told us just now about the affair simply doesn’t make any________.

A．idea B．meaning

C．sense D．point

答案 C

解析make sense意为“有道理；意义清楚”。

11．—________is the best football player in your city?

—Jerry.

A．Do you think who

B．Do you think whom

C．Who do you think

D．Whom do you think

答案 C

解析本题主要部分为Who is the best football player in your city？，do you think 为插入语。

12．—Shall I sit at this end of the boat or the other end?

—If you keep still，you can sit at________end.

A．neither B．each

C．either D．any

答案 C

解析either表示二者选一；each表二者或二者以上中的每一个；neither表示两者都不，也不；any表示任何一个。

13．It’s really hot________January in Harbin now.Better take off your coat.

A．in B．during

C．for D．to

答案 C

解析for在此表示“对……来说”。若用in，则指在哈尔滨的一月，这与事实不符。
