时间90分钟总分值100分
Ⅰ.单项填空(每题1分，总分值15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。

1、HecamefromWuhan,________astheheatingstoveinsummer.
A、knowing
B、known
C、beingknown
D、tobeknown
答案：B
解析：knwonas...，“以……而著称”；过去分词短语作非限制性定语，相当于定语从句whichisknownas...
2、(2017·山东省实验中学内部材料)ElbertEinstein,for________lifehadoncebeenveryhard,wassuccessfullaterinscienc e.
A.whom
B.whose
C.which
D.his
答案：A
解析：容易选B。

原因是受思维定势的影响认为whoselife是一个整体。

定语从句的主语应该是life,本句可以改写为：lifehadoncebeenveryhardforhim,所以在定语从句中介词for还缺少了一个宾语。

所以选A。

3、Heworkedinthecompanyforonlyafewdays________howtosatisfythenewboss.
A、thinking
B、think
C、tothink
D、thought
答案：A
解析：v.­ing作状语，表示伴随状况。

4、Do________talkingandsomemoreworkandthingswillbecomebetter.
A、abitless
B、anyless
C、muchmore
D、alittlemore
答案：A
解析：此题考查副词或副词短语修饰比较级；根据“少说多做情况会更好”，应选abitless。

5、Sodifficult________ittoworkouttheproblemthatIdecidedtoaskTomforadvice.
A、Ididfind
B、didIfind
C、Ihavefound
D、haveIfound
答案：B
解析：“sodifficult”放在句首，引起句子倒装；由that从句的时态判断，应用过去时态。

6、(2017·山东省实验中学内部材料)________IhaddoneitIknewIhadmadeamistake.
A.Hardly
B.Directly
C.Mostly
D.Nearly
答案：B
解析：四个词从形式上看都是以－ly结尾的形容词，但从句子结构看，空白处需要填连词。

但不少学生受hardly…when…影响，可能很容易选A。

其实，directly/immediately 等少数副词具有连词的功能用来连接两个句子，意思是“一……就……”，相当于assoonas,themoment等用法。

7、Theboycriedhiseyeout,________hesawhisfather.
A、atthemoment
B、forthemoment
C、themoment
D、foramoment
答案：C
解析：themoment引导时间状语从句，相当于assoonas。

8、—Willyoubeabletofinishyourcompositionontime?
—________！I'mwonderingwhattowrite.
A、Nottheway
B、Noway
C、Noways
D、Notaway
答案：B
解析：Noway表示“不可能；没门”。

9、Hewasdisappointedtofindhissuggestions________.
A、turnedout
B、turneddown
C、turnedup
D、turnedoff
答案：B
解析：过去分词作宾语补足语，turneddown表示“被拒绝”。

10、Ithoughthimniceandhonest________Imethim.
A、thefirsttime
B、firsttime
C、forthefirsttime
D、bythefirsttime
答案：A
解析：thefirsttime引导状语从句，表示“第一次干……的时候”；forthefirsttime 表示“第一次”，在句中作状语，不能引导从句。

11、________itslowcost,theappealofironasabuildingmateriallayinitsstrength,itsresist ancetofire,anditspotentialtospanvastareas.
A、Otherthan
B、Apartfrom
C、Exceptfor
D、Ratherthan
答案：B
解析：apartfrom表示“除……之外，还有”相当于besides/except(for)/inadditionto;otherthan表示“除……之外”相当于except/but;exceptfor...“除……之外”，表示“排除与主体不一致的次要的成分”；ratherthan表示“而不是”。

12、(2017·山东省实验中学内部材料)Ibegantofishbeforememorybegan,________IknowIhavealwaysfished.
A.sofar
B.soasfaras
C.asfaras
D.so
答案：B
解析：此题中逗号前是一个主从复合句，后面也是主从复合句，因此其间需要一个并列连词，so是并列连词，B，D两项中有so，如果选D，Iknow后面的部分成了宾语从句，不符合题意。

而B项的so连接两个分句，asfaras为Iknow的从属连接词，故B为正确答案。

13、Nowpeoplehavetheirideasoftheuniverse________onCopernicus'theory.
A、based
B、base
C、basing
D、tobase
答案：A
解析：过去分词短语作后置定语，相当于定语从句whicharebasedon...。

14、Itwasinspiringthat________headmasteroftheschoolawardedaprizetoEdie,________moni torofClassThree.
A、/;/
B、the;the
C、/;the
D、the;/
答案：D
解析：考查冠词用法。

表示头衔，独一无二的职务名词，作主语时，需加冠词；作表语，同位语，补足语时，不需冠词。

15、—Ineverthoughtyouweretoblame.
—Ibet________.
A、youthought
B、youdo
C、youdid
D、youthink
答案：C
解析：“Ibetyoudid，”“我打赌你就这么想过”；用did代替thought，避免重复。
