　　答案：A　动词辨析题。C、D项均为不及物动词，可直接排除，B项表示回答，不合句意；而whisper sth. in one's ear表示“跟某人耳语”。

　　6．The T-shirt ________ on the chair is mine.

　　A．having hung

　　B．hanging

　　C．hangs

　　D．being hung

　　答案：B　句意：挂在椅子上的T恤衫是我的。“hanging on the chair”此处是分词短语作后置定语。

　　7．(2011·西南师大附中)On no account________to the teacher.

　　A．is this the first time he has lied

　　B．this is the first time he has lied

　　C．is this the first time has he lied

　　D．this is the first time he is lying

　　答案：A　考查倒装和“某人第几次做某事”句式。on no account“绝不”放在句首，主句倒装；该题主句是“某人第几次做某事”句式，该句式的主句是this is the first time，所以其倒装结构应该以this is the first time进行变化。

　　8．(2024·山东省实验中学高三诊断测试)The movie originally ________ for children under 12 is now being used to educate adults.

　　A．intended

　　B．being intended

　　C．to be intended

　　D．having been intended

　　答案：A　主句是The movie is now being used to educate adults.过去分词短语 originally intended for children under 12作后置定语修饰the movie.短语be intended for……打算为……所用， 预定给……。

　　9．The project ________ by the end of 2024 will expand the city's telephone network to cover 20, 000, 000 users.

　　A．accomplished

　　B．to be accomplished

　　C．being accomplished

　　D．having been accomplished

　　答案：B　accomplish与the project之间存在被动关系，而且2024年还未到来，表示将来应用不定式的被动式作定语。

　　10．The weather station ________ warn people of the coming of strong winds and predict their movement.

　　A．serves to

　　B．serves for

　　C．serves as

　　D．services

　　答案：A　从空缺处后的动词warn可知B、C两项错误，D项services(名词)表示服务机构，与station在语义上重复，而A项serve作谓语，to warn...and predict作目的状语，合乎语义与语法，serve to do“产生……的效果或结果；作……之用；有助于……”，答案为A。

　　11．(2011·山西太谷中学摸底考试)I don't expect anything in ________； I did it because I enjoyed it.

　　A．awardB．rewardC．prizeD．praise

　　答案：B　句意：我不期望任何回报，我之所以做是因为我喜欢。in reward表示“作为报答；作为回报”。

　　—Sorry, my son, but only the grown-ups are ________ into the cinema.

　　14．(2010·杭州地区七校期中联考)Although a large ________ of money was used and a ________ of doctors and nurses lost their lives in fighting against SARS, Chinese people were able to win the battle in the end.

　　A．number; amount

　　B．amount; number

　　C．number; number

　　D．amount; amount

　　答案：B　句意：虽然在抗击非典中花费了大量资金，很多医生和护士还失去了生命，但是中国人民最后取得了战斗的胜利。a large amount of和a number of都可以表示“大量”，前者用来修饰不可数名词，后者用来修饰复数可数名词。

　　15．(2010·江西抚州一中高三同步考试)Large amounts of water ________ been pumped from the mine where an explosion happened yesterday.

　　A．hadB．would haveC．hasD．have

　　答案：D　句意：已经从昨天发生爆炸的煤矿中抽出了大量的水。此句的主语是amounts，所以谓语动词用复数形式。假如选择A项，意味着在爆炸之前已经从煤矿中抽出了大量的水，显然不符合语境。

　　Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his pen name.

　　Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother's tender care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all of his friends and neighbours. He didn't like to go to school, and he constantly ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi. He was nearly drowned nine times.

　　After his father's death in 1847, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full-time writer.

　　In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him a great fortune.

　　Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments (投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of their children passed away.

　　At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties. He wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 21, 1910.

　　Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices (偏见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously (匿名)．

　　But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.

　　The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.

　　You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.

　　6．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Austen once lived in Bath during the last five years of the eighteenth century.

　　B．Austen knew very well about Bath.

　　C．The shop there offers books signed by Austen.

　　D．The city was built according to what was described in Austen's novels.

　　答案：B　细节判断题。从第二段第二句可知，奥斯汀在巴斯居住的时间是1801～1806年，应排除A项：根据第二段第三句“Her deep knowledge of the city...”判断，奥斯汀对巴斯非常了解；根据第三段可知，那里的商店可提供与奥斯汀有关的书籍，但不可能是她签名的，因为她于1817年去世了；第二段介绍巴斯这座城市时，说到奥斯汀小说中大部分是以巴斯这座城市为背景而写的。

　　7．Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath ________.

　　A．in her early twenties

　　B．in her early teens

　　C．in her late twenties

　　D．in her late teens

　　答案：A　细节推断题。简·奥斯汀出生于1775年，第二段第二句话告诉读者她在18世纪的最后5年(1795～1799)两次参观巴斯，可推算是在她20多岁的初期。

　　8．What can we learn about Bath from the passage?

　　A．Bath has greatly changed since Jane Austen's death.

　　B．The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it.

　　C．Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time.

　　D．No changes have taken place in Bath since Jane Austen's time.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中间“The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels.”可知，这所城市和简·奥斯汀当时的情况依然很相像。

　　9．The author writes this passage in order to ________.

　　A．attract readers to visit the city of Bath

　　B．ask readers to buy Austen's books

　　C．tell readers about Jane Austen's experience

　　D．give a brief introduction to the Austen Society

　　答案：A　作者意图题。文章第一段介绍了著名作家奥斯汀以引起读者的兴趣，从第二段开始文章介绍奥斯汀曾对巴斯进行两次长期造访、曾于1801～1806年居住于巴斯，现在的巴斯和当时几乎一样，并建有奥斯汀中心，这些都是为了吸引人们到巴斯来参观。
