　　1．I suggest not only________to the meeting but also give a speech there.

　　A．did he go B．should he go

　　C．he should go

　　D．his going

　　答案：B　考查虚拟语气和倒装。句意：我建议他不仅参加会议，还要在会上发言。由句意知，suggest所接的从句应该用“should＋动词原形”的虚拟语气；再由not only...but also...的用法知，not only所接分句应该用部分倒装；因此选B项。

　　2．More and more people choose to shop in supermarkets, for they are especially interested in the______of goods on offer.

　　A．price

　　B．variety

　　C．value

　　D．amount

　　答案：B　price“价格”；value“价值”；amount“数量”，这三个词均与supermarket和on offer在语义上有联系，而variety体现了超市的特点。句意：越来越多的人选择在超市购物，因为他们对于种类繁多的出售商品很感兴趣。

　　3．The Town Council spent a lot of money to________the old castle and other places of historic interest.

　　A．guard

　　B．reserve

　　C．arrange

　　D．preserve

　　答案：D　句意：镇议会/镇民代表会花了很多钱来维修那座古城堡和其他历史古迹。preserve“保护，维修”，符合题意。guard“守卫，警戒”；reserve“保留，预订”；arrange“安排”，均不符合语境。

　　4．You played football the whole afternoon.________you are so tired.

　　A．No problem

　　B．No way

　　C．No wonder

　　D．No doubt

　　答案：C　句意：你踢了一整个下午的足球，难怪你那么累。踢足球是累的原因，故用no wonder。其他三项不符合语境。

　　5．—He is________interested in English.

　　—He often works at it until________into the night.

　　A．deep; deeply

　　B．deep; deep

　　C．deeply; deep

　　D．deeply; deeply

　　答案：C　句意：他对英语非常感兴趣，经常学习英语到深夜。deep用于具体的深度，包括空间和时间，它不能修饰形容词。而deeply用于抽象、比喻意义，与表达情感的动词、形容词或过去分词连用。

　　6．To ride in an aeroplane you have to book in________.

　　A．ahead

　　B．public

　　C．advance

　　D．presence

　　答案：C　in advance“提前”。句意：要乘飞机必须提前订票。in public“在公共场合”；in presence“出现，存在”。

　　7．In October, the price of the________to Mount Tai has risen by 50 yuan.

　　A．permission

　　B．admission

　　C．introduction

　　D．instruction

　　答案：B　permission“允许”；admission“入场费”；introduction“引入；介绍”；instruction“指导”。根据the price和to Mount Tai判断，此处指到泰山的“门票”，所以用admission。

　　8．Not only China but also other countries________trying to develop their own economy.

　　A．is

　　B．are

　　C．has

　　D．be

　　答案：B　句意：不仅中国，还有其他国家也在尽力发展自己的经济。根据主谓一致中的就近原则，此句中的谓语动词与other countries在人称和数上保持一致，因此用are。

　　9．You are very cool with your brother, but with your classmates you________.

　　A．come to yourself

　　B．come to life

　　C．come to an end

　　D．come out

　　答案：B　句意：你对你弟弟冷冰冰的，但跟同学在一起却很活跃。come to life“活跃起来，苏醒过来”，符合语境。come to oneself“苏醒过来”；come to an end“结束”；come out“出现，显露，发表”，均不符合语境。

　　10．—What is your favourite________of sports clothing?

　　—Nike.

　　A．brand

　　B．size

　　C．length

　　D．width

　　答案：A　由答语(Nike)可知，问句句意：你最喜欢的运动服的品牌是什么？brand意思是“商标，牌子”。

　　A．for; now that

　　B．for; if

　　C．though; so long as

　　D．though; if only

　　答案：B　第一个空表示原因，第二个空表示条件。句意：我们应该竭尽全力阻止校园暴力的发生，因为如果人身安全得不到保障的话，就会有越来越多的学生辍学。so long as也可用在第二空中表示条件。

　　12．Eat________cake you like and leave the rest for________comes late.

　　A．any; who

　　B．every; whoever

　　C．whichever; whoever

　　D．either; whoever

　　答案：C　whichever表示“无论哪一个”，作cake的定语；whoever既作介词for的宾语，又充当comes的主语。

　　13．We can produce shoes________after the fashions of different markets or according to buyers' samples.

　　A．modelled

　　B．designed

　　C．requested

　　D．made

　　答案：A　句意：我们按不同市场的流行款式或客户来样来制作鞋子。be modelled after为固定搭配，意为“根据……模仿/制造”，此处用过去分词作后置定语。design“设计”；request“请求，要求”；make“制造”，make after“追逐，跟随”。

　　14．When I came ________ with the teenager hidden in the cave, I was surprised to find him ________ covered with dust.

　　A．face-to-face；entirely

　　B．face to face; entire

　　C．in face of; completely

　　D．face to face; entirely

　　答案：D　句意：当我走到藏在洞里的少年面前时，我吃惊地发现他满身尘土。come face to face with sb.“走到某人面前”；第二个空用副词修饰covered。

　　15．Come to Dollywood to have fun ________ all about America's historical southeastern culture!

　　A．to learn

　　B．learning

　　C．learn

　　D．learned

　　答案：B　句意：来多莱坞放松心情了解美国东南地区的历史文化吧！have fun doing sth.是一个固定句式，意为“做某事玩得开心；愉快地做某事”。故选B。

　　Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these place an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”， as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.

　　All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions (传统) I”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.

　　After passing “Traditions I”， the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific (具体的) jobs. No detail (细节) is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.”

　　Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail (单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week help them to see the company's goals more clearly.

　　All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”

　　文章大意：本文介绍了Disney成功吸引顾客的秘诀。

　　1．The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees ________.

　　A．begin by receiving on-the-job training

　　B．must learn several jobs

　　C．begin as ticket takers

　　D．have already attended Disney University

　　答案：A　细节理解题。由第二段首句“All new employees... by attending Disney University and taking ‘Traditions I’．”可知，新员工先要进行岗前培训。

　　2．Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to ________.

　　A．set a good example for employees

　　B．remind themselves of their beginnings at Disney

　　C．gain a better view of the company's objectives

　　D．replace employees on holiday

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段末句“The managers agree that this week help them to see the company's goals more clearly.”可判断经理们这样做的目的是为了更好地了解公园。

　　3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A．Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.

　　B．Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.

　　C．Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.

　　D．Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。迪斯尼乐园以其众多的游乐节目吸引世界游客；从副总裁到一般职员均受到专业培训，故均能胜任各项工作；游客在此可尽兴玩耍，但却不能在游乐中学到该乐园的历史。该题可以用排除法得知答案为A项。

　　4．This passage is mainly about ________.

　　A．how Disney employees are trained

　　B．the history and traditions of the Disney enterprises

　　C．why Disney enterprises make a lot of money

　　D．the importance Disney place on serving people well

　　答案：C　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了迪斯尼公园成功经营的秘诀，由此可知答案为C项。

　　B

　　Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mou-

　　ntains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基础设施) that must be maintained.

　　Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.

　　Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.

　　Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.

　　Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.

　　Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.

　　A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.

　　文章大意：约塞米蒂国家公园的基础设施正在崩溃，原因是游客过多，公园没有进行及时的维护。他们为什么不进行维修呢？因为他们的行动受到了环保组织Sierra Club的阻拦。

　　5．According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated from________.

　　A. the bottom of the valleys

　　B. the top of the mountains

　　C. the side of the mountains

　　D. the edge of the valleys

　　答案：A　细节理解题。从文章第一段第二句可以得知，选项A为正确答案。

　　6．National parks like Yosemite in the US find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because________.

　　A. their transport management needs improving

　　B. they spend too much on their service systems

　　C. their service systems frequently go out of order
