A．expects to be B．is supposed to be

C．looks forward to be D．is hoped to be

答案与解析：B句意为：希望大家准时参会。A项必须用被动形式：is expected to be；C项是主语盼望干某事，这里是要求主语干某事，并且be应用being；D项hope不能用hope sb.to do sth.结构。

答案：C

5．A student should always be curious ________；then he can do well in his studies.

A．to learn B．about learning

C．in learning D．for learning

答案与解析：A解答本题可以从理解题意入手，很显然句意应理解为“学生应总是想学习”，而不是“对学习感到好奇”，只能说“对某些方面的知识感到好奇”，由此可以认定该句结构应为be curious to do。

A．accusing B．scolding

C．reminding D．telling

答案：A

答案：C

8．The government's plan is ________ new industries ______ areas of high unemployment.

A．to concentrate; on B．concentrate; on

C．to concentrate; in D．concentrate; in

答案与解析：C与concentrate连用的介词常为on，其含义为“集中……于……上”或“专心致志于……”。本题显然不是这个意思，故排除A、B两项。第一空所缺应是be动词后的表语，故应用不定式，全句意为“政府的计划是将新的产业集中于高失业区”。

9．Most children in low-income families have parents who are ________ full-time and year-round.

A．hired B．employed

C．rented D．fired

答案与解析：B employ多指公司长期雇用人员；hire常指短期雇用；rent“租借，出租”；fire“解雇”。

10．I find the map ________ great value in helping me travelling around the city.

A．of B．with

C．to D．in

答案与解析：A“of＋抽象名词”相当于该名词的形容词形式，由该结构可知A项正确。

11．________ for old men to read newspapers，but it is also a great way to improve their minds.

A．Not only for pleasure is it

B．Not only it is for pleasure

C．It is not only for pleasure

D．Not only is it for pleasure

答案与解析：D not only置于句首时句子需用部分倒装形式。

12．As for the influence of computerization，________ else have we seen the result more clearly than in the United States.

A．anywhere B．nowhere

C．anybody D．nothing

答案与解析：B由倒装结构可知，此处为否定副词提前，排除A、C两项；由in the United States知此处为地点，故选B项。

13．He said that he had submitted the report ________ the matter ________ the director.

A．on; for B．to; on

C．on; to D．no; with

答案与解析：C report on sth.关于……的报告；submit...to...向……提交……句意：他说他已经把关于这件事的报告上交给了主任。

14．She may have missed the train，________ she won't arrive for another hour.

A．in which case B．in her case

C．in any case D．in that case

答案与解析：A考查定语从句。这是一个非限制性定语从句，所以要用in which case。若逗号前有and，则选D。

15．The manager's demand was that the data referred to in his report ________ to Mr.Andrew without delay.

A．were e-mailed B．would be e-mailed

C．should be e-mailed D．had been e-mailed

答案与解析：C考查虚拟语气的用法。demand后接表语从句时，从句谓语要用虚拟语气，即“(should)＋动词原形”；由于e-mail和其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动语态。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

On the evening，however，she was standing at her living-room window，staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden.Her feelings were mixed.Of course，she was sad at the thought of leaving the house，as it was full of so many memories.But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last year near the sea，back in the little seaside town where she had been born.With the money from the sale of the house，she had bought a little flat there.She turned from the living room window，and looked round at the walls.There was a small fish tank，with two goldfish in it.When asked why，her husband used to say，“It's nice to have something alive in the room.”Since he had passed away，she had always kept some goldfish，and had always had“something alive in the room”．

The next morning，as her train was pulling out of the station，Mrs.Robson called to her
