【试题答案】
一.单项选择:
1.选B在定语从句中,当先行词受最高级修饰时,只能用that引导定语从句。
2.选B此句意思为“世界由物质构成”。
作“物质”解时matter是不可数名词,substance是可数名词,material常意为“材料”,things意为“东西”。
根据句意应选B。
3.选C varied是形容词,意为“不同的”,differ是动词,意为“(与……)不同”。
本句中varied修饰名词opinions,是形容词,故应选C。
4.选D fleeting作形容词,意为“极冷的”,freezingcold意为“冰冷”。
frozen的过去分词作定语时.意为“冻了”“结了冰的”。
此句意为“如果天气寒冷,水就会被冻成凝固的冰。
”故选D。
5.Brange用作不及物动词,表示“在某一范围之内变动、变化”时常接from…to...或between…and…(两头被包括在内)。
6.C add在句中意为“加起来达到……”。
该短语无被动语态因而排除D;addto意为“增加”,addup意为“加起来”。
根据句意排除A
7.A 根据heisthelastonetohelpothers.(他是最不可能帮助别人的人),既然如此,那么“帮助你”的可能性也就最小了。
8.A 根据备选答案。
Can表示推测时用于疑问句或否定句中。
本题首句就应该是Guesswhocanitbe?
。
第二句应该是IthinkitmustbeTom.(说话人十分肯定)。
第三句表达了说话人对前一个人的否定。
即:
Idon’tthinkitcanbehim/he.(不可能是他)。
9.本题关键词语是mostprobably,说明极有可能发生火灾。
must表示“肯定”与mostprobably不相符。
而oughtto表示推测,意思是:
非常可能。
与mostprobably一致。
答案为B
10.A 根据句意:
你为什么不告诉我今天没有会?
我本来没必要冒着大雪开车跑这么多路。
needn’thavedone表示本来没必要。
二.阅读理解:
A

2.C,根据第一段最后一句:

3.A,根据第二段:

4.C,根据女儿打开礼物以后所说的话,(第三段:

B
1.D根据第二段举的例子:
suchaswhenawomanatapartytellsanotherwomanthatshelikesherdresswhenshereallythinkitlooksterrible.可知是“善意的谎言”。
2.A根据第二段However,thisisonlyonesideofthestory.Otherresearcherssaythatmenaremorelikelytotellseriouslies可以反过来理解妇女的谎言的内容。
