21．The teacher ________ have thought Johnson was worth it or she wouldn't have wasted time on him, I suppose.
A．should B．can C．would D．must
答案：D 该题考查情态动词。句意：我认为老师一定认为约翰逊值得培养，否则她就不会在他身上浪费时间了。A项表示应该，B项时态错，C项可以表示可能，但可能性极小，故选D项表示语气十分肯定的对过去事情的推测。

—Oh，you ________ so much money. Thank you, anyway. A．didn't need to spend B．don't have to spend C．shouldn't spend D．needn't have spent

23．Many of the creatures in Rowling's world are not real, and much of ________ happens is strange.
A．which B．that C．what D．it
答案：C 考查名词性从句。what引导的短语作介词of的宾语，同时what happens作从句的主语。
24．It is rather difficult to make friends with him, but his friendship, ________， is more true than any other's.
A．once gained B．when to gain C．after gaining D．while gaining 答案：A 考查非谓语动词。此题应用过去分词作状语表示条件。once gained相当于once it is gained。gain和his friendship是被动关系，所以用过去分词。
25．Lucy, the boy was frightened by the terrible noise from the next room. Take him ________ it's quiet, I think.
A．when B．where C．what D．before 答案：B 考查地点状语从句。where引导地点状语从句。
26．He developed ________ deep interest in insects when he was at ________ age of 8. A．a; a B．the; the C．a; the D．the; a
答案：C 考查冠词。develop a deep interest in “对??产生深深的兴趣”，at the age of 8＝at 8，指“在8岁的时候”。
27．—He failed in the English exam though he worked hard at English. —No wonder he looked ________ at that moment. A．depress B．depressed C．depressing D．depressingly 答案：B 句意：??难怪他看起来沮丧。depressed意为“抑郁的，沮丧的”；depressing意为“使人抑郁的，使人消沉的”。
28．—When does the plane arrive?
—I ________ it will arrive in half an hour. Let's wait here.
A．told B．ensure C．predict D．look forward to 答案：C A项时态不对；ensure意为“确保”，而后文的内容是难以确保的；predict“预料，预言，预计”；look forward to中to为介词，其后不能接句子。根据句意选C。
29．—My neighbor plays loud music late at night. —________. You really should talk to him about it. A．You've got it right B．It's a good point C．This is tricky D．That's annoying
答案：D 考查交际用语。由空格后的句子(应找他谈谈)可以看出，答话者认为邻居深夜弹奏音乐是很恼人的，故选D项， 意思是：那太恼人了。
30．On hearing the news that she failed to pass the final examination, Mary ________ and ran back to her room.
A．burst into tears B．burst out tears C．laughed with tears D．wiped her tears
答案：A burst into tears等同于burst out crying，表示“大哭起来”。 31．________ of money ________ spent on the bridge. A．A large amount; were B．A large number; were C．Large amounts; were D．A plenty; were
答案：C large amounts of修饰的名词作主语时，谓语动词要用复数形式。B项a large number of不能修饰不可数名词，A、D两项修饰不可数名词时，谓语动词需要用单数形式。
32．It is believed that she will ________ a disabled man. A．get married with B．marry with C．get married to D．marry to
答案：C 该题考查动词marry的用法。marry sb.或get married to sb.表示与某人结婚。 33．The visiting Americans are also interested in Chinese food ________ Chinese culture. A．in addition B．except C．in addition to D．except for
答案：C 该题考查介词短语。由“also”一词可知，来访的美国友人除了对中国文化感兴趣，还对中国食物感兴趣。in addition to相当于besides表示“除??之外，还”。选项A相当于副词，选项B、D都表示“排除在外”。故选C。
34．A small talk is a conversation about ordinary or unimportant matters, usually at a social ________.
A．affair B．business C．event D．accident
答案：C 该题考查名词辨析。affair“事件，事务”；business“生意”；event“事件，大事”；social event表示“社交场合”；accident“事故”。
35．—Would you mind giving your advice on how to improve our business management? —If you make ________ most of the equipment, there will be ________ rise in production. A．/; / B．the; a C．/; a D．the; /

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人). He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the_buzzing_of_a_fly,_but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像)．
The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbours.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to be not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other peoples ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists
56．Which of the following is right?
A．Man is not likely to be introduced to others.
B．According to the author, the aim of conversation is to keep up the buzzing sound. C．Most people join in a conversation is to get something new.
D．In the conversation people always take about something valuable. 答案：B 细节判断。由第二段得到答案。
57．According to the author, people make conversation to ________. A．exchange ideas B．prove their value
C．achieve success in life
D．overcome their fear of silence
答案：D 推理题。文章开始就表明了人类最害怕的是silence，即使谈话也是为了克服silence而导致的恐惧。
58．By “the buzzing of a fly”， the author means“________”． A．the noise of an insect B．a low whispering sound C．meaningless talks
D．the voice of a chatterbox
答案：C 词义推测。依据日常知识，大多数talking没有什么特别意义。 59．According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors ________. A．about whatever they have prepared B．about whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new D．in the hope of getting on well
答案：B 推理题。依据第二段，表明与邻居交流可以谈任何想谈的内容，不必等到你有wise thought才开口。本题易误选D，而D说明人们与邻居交往有一定的目的性。
60．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A．To discuss why people like talking about weather. B．To encourage people to join in conversations. C．To persuade people to stop making noises. D．To explain why people keep talking.
答案：D 推理题。本题需要对文章三段加以综合概括，尤其是第二段首句，表明作者写本文的真实意图是解释人们为何不停的talking。
B
Philip Pullman was born in Norwich on October 19th, 1946. The early part of his life was spent traveling all over the world, because his father and his stepfather were both in the Royal Air Force. He spent part of his childhood in Australia, where he first met the wonders of comics, and grew to love Superman and Batman in particular.
From the age of 11, he lived in North Wales, having moved back to Britain. It was a time when children were allowed to roam(漫游，流浪) anywhere, to play in the streets, to wander over the hills, and he took full advantage of it. His English teacher, Miss Enid Jones, had a big influence on him, and he still sends her copies of his books. After he left school he went to Exeter College, Oxford, to read English. He did a number of odd jobs for a while, and then moved back to Oxford to become a teacher. He taught at various middle schools for twelve years, and then moved to Westminster College, Oxford, to be a part-time lecturer. He taught courses on the
Victorian novel and the folk tale, and also a course examining how words and pictures fit together. He eventually left teaching in order to write full-time.
His first published novel was for adults, but he began writing for children when he was a teacher. Some of his novels were based on plays he wrote for his school pupils, such as The Ruby in the Smoke.
Philip Pullman believes firmly in the virtues of healthy exercise and a moderate(适度的) diet—for other people. It makes them feel virtuous(贞洁的), and makes them feel good if not happy. He is fond of sports, and plays it by watching television. He is a big fan of Neighbors, but that is the only soap he watches, as Neighbors gives him quite enough to think about.
