  参考答案:

(1) :D句意:——我在叔叔家度过了一个愉快的周末。——真的吗?听到你这么说我很高兴。本题考查的是情景英语中的对话,故答案选D。

(2) :C句意:你可以搭我们的车去邮局,反正我们都要经过那儿。根据句意,可以直接排除其他答案,either是“也”用于否定句中,故答案选C。

(3) :B句意:鲍勃犯了错误,但我不会因此而反对他——我们每个人都会犯错。本题中it代指上句中的“Bob made a mistake”。故选B。

(4) :A句意:系好你们的安全带,飞机将在几分钟内起飞。take off意为“(飞机)起飞”,take away意为“带走”,take up意为“占据”,take down意为“拿下,记下”。故选A。

(5) :D句意:John认为我在怪罪他,但其实我在责怪自己。本题的四个选项中,只有while 表示转折,故选D。

(6) :B句意:我想为咱们下次会议选个日期.但选个合适的Et子不太容易。题中所指的日期都是不确定的,非特指,故都用不定冠词a。故选8。

(7) :D句意:到现在,我已经赞助这家篮球俱乐部多年。本题中时间段是从过去到现在的时间,因而选择现在完成时。故选D。

(8) :A句意:“所有事情看起来似乎都不如初见时简单”似乎是一个普遍真理。本题中it为形式主语,that引导的从句为后置的主语从句。故选A。

(9) :C句意:只直接给我肯定或否定的回答,我不需要任何解释。straight表示“直接的”,sharp表示“尖锐的”,strict意为“严格的”,small意为“小的”。故选C。

(10) :B句意:在他们进楼之前,保安查看了他们的身份证。本题中用的是过去时态,检查身份证发生在进楼前,时间在过去的过去,而c为现在完成时,A为一般现在时,D为一般将来时,只有B为一般过去时。故选B。

(11) :D句意:双方可以通过寻求共识来促成谈话的成功。选项中by表示借助于某种手段。故选D。

(12) :C句意:——我经常坐火车去剑桥大学。——你为什么不换种方式,坐长途公车去呢?本题中“why not”相当于“why do not you”,因此其后用廿y的原形。故选c。

(13) :D句意:我两周前买了这台电脑,但它操作起来并不像它应该那样。后半句为省略句,完整的句子应是“but it isn’t working as it should work”。故选D。

(14) :A句意:大家认为史蒂文在员工中很受欢迎,因而被推选为网球俱乐部的主席。本题中consider和主语是被动关系,因而用动词的被动形式,D选项为动词不定式的被动形式。故选A。

(15) :C句意:——不要催我催得这么紧。我会尽快做的。——好,不着急。但是我们只有半个钟头的时间。本题考查的是情境交际,根据上下文语境,应该选择C:不着急,慢慢来。其余几项均无此意,故选C。

  B

A study comparing prices in l50 major cities has found that cities in Western Europe have become more expensive to live in since the full introduction of the euro currency(货币).The report also noted a fall in living costs in cities where there are economic(经济的)or political problems such as Buenos Aires in Argentina and Harare in Zimbabwe. The findings are shown in the latest worldwide cost of living study conducted yearly by the Economist Intelligence Unit,a business research organization based in London.The information is meant to help big firms set payments for people working away from their home country.As in last year’s study,two Japanese cities,Tokyo and Osaka,were found to be the most expensive places to live.The report also says that cities in the euro zone(欧元区),have become more expensive relative to other places since the introduction of euro notes and coins.For example,Paris now has the tenth highest costs;it was in fourteenth place a few years ago.Berlin has gone from fiftieth to thirty.first place.Those findings will strengthen the opinion that businesses have exploited disorder over the new currency to push up their prices.But as in past years,the highest costs in Europe are outside the euro zone.London,for example,is the seventh most expensive city in the world to live in.New York,which has the highest prices in America,is in 11th place.The biggest fall in relative costs has taken place in Buenos Aims.That partly shows the fall of the Argentine currency,following the country’s inability to pay the money it owes.The cheapest major cities were found to be Tehran in Iran and Harare,capital of Zimbabwe.

(40)What is the text mainly about?

A. The economic development in Europe.

B. The results of a study.

C. economic growth slowed down in the world

D. problems occurred in other cities

(43)What can we learn from the text?
