A．might B．need C．should D．would 答案：C 解析：考查情態(tài)動詞。語意：你無法想象那位生活簡樸的市長竟然是個貪污犯。此處的should表示“竟然”。 2．(2010·陜西西安質(zhì)檢)Theory should by no means be separated from practice. ______， it's important to combine theory with practice. A．As a result B．By the way C．To be honest D．In other words 答案：D 解析：in other words表示“換句話說”；as a result表示“因此”；by the way表示“順便問一下”；to be honest表示“老實說”。語意為：理論絕不可以脫離實踐；換句話來說，將理論與實踐結(jié)合起來非常重要。顯然只有D項符合題意。 3．Don't worry.

A．looked for B．prepared for C．searched for D．a(chǎn)rranged for 答案：D 解析：arrange for...to do... 安排……做……。A.尋找；B.準(zhǔn)備；C.尋找。 4．______ seems no need to wait any longer.

A．was breaking B．has broken C．had broken D．broke 答案：D 解析：考查動詞的時態(tài)。從前面的I'm late可知，“我的車在來時的路上拋錨”的動作發(fā)生在“過去”，因此，時態(tài)應(yīng)該用一般過去時。 6．I can't see my old grandmother ______ alone in the country, so I'll have her ______ with me in the city. A．leave; staying B．leaving; to stay C．left; stay D．left; stayed 答案：C 解析：第一空考查 see sb./sth. done；第二空考查 have sb. do。 7．(2010·湖北黃石二中)The little boy was so careless with his spelling that he often ______ letters from words.

A．that we go B．which we should go C．that we would go D．when we should go 答案：A 解析：該句 that we go to see the art exhibition 是 suggestion的同位語從句，需要用虛擬語氣，其中的 should被省略了。 9．—Would you please tell us something about the Group of Eight (G8)? —Well, G8 is an international organization ______ the richest countries in the world, five of which are quite small and two of which are island states. A．is consisted of B．consisting of C．consists of D．consisted of 答案：B 解析：句中考查非謂語動詞做后置定語，排除A、C項。consist of無被動語態(tài)，故選B。 10．I will come to pay a visit to you if ______ this weekend.

A．What great delight B．How great delight C．What a great delight D．How a great delight 答案：C 解析：考查感嘆句，句意為“在這里野餐真是一件令人愉快的事”。delight 用做可數(shù)名詞，故選C。 12．(2010·陜西西安質(zhì)檢)It is hoped that this project ______ by the end of 2011 will be a popular tourist attraction of the city. A．being accomplished B．a(chǎn)ccomplished C．will be accomplished D．to be accomplished 答案：D 解析：考查非謂語動詞。根據(jù)句中的時間“by the end of 2011”可知，動作發(fā)生在將來，故用不定式表將來，又因project和accomplish之間是動賓關(guān)系，故選D項，不定式to be accomplished作project的后置定語，表示還沒有發(fā)生的被動動作。 13．We ______ the job ______ five parts, and each man did one part. A．divided; into B．separated; into C．divided; from D．separated; from 答案：A 解析：divide...into...把(整體)分成若干份。separate...from...把……和……分開。 14．Tom was thrilled ______ captain of our school football team. A．to choose B．having been chosen C．to have been chosen D．to be chosen 答案：C 解析：考查動詞的搭配及不定式的用法。thrill做及物動詞，意為“使激動，興奮”。固定短語be thrilled to do sth意為“做某事(感到)興奮；激動”，故排除B項；Tom與choose為動賓關(guān)系，因此A項亦不正確；不定式的動作先于謂語動詞的動作，故應(yīng)用不定式的完成式。 15．It is commonly believed that it is ______ too much money has been invested in real estate(房地產(chǎn)) ______ has caused the crisis in Wall Street. A．that; that B．that; which C．what; that D．because; that 答案：A 解析：考查強調(diào)句型及主語從句。句意為：普遍認為是在房地產(chǎn)業(yè)投資過多導(dǎo)致了華爾街危機。第一空是主語從句，that在從句中不做成分；第二空是強調(diào)句型It is...that...。 Ⅲ .閱讀理解 A One of Britain's most popular reality TV programmes has returned to our screens for a fifth series. The Apprentice sees 16 ambitious individuals competing for a job with electronics tycoon(巨頭) Sir Alan Sugar. The Apprentice is a BAFTA award winning British reality television series in which a group of aspiring young businessmen and women compete for the chance to win a ￡100 000－a－year job as “apprentice” to the British business tycoon Alan Sugar, The Baron Sugar. Winners have gone on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sir Alan (but since sold to BSkyB), or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen, Amsprop of Amshold. The Apprentice, billed as a “job interview from hell”， is similar in format to the American series of the same name, which stars the entrepreneur Donald Trump. With endless talk of financial crisis, redundancies(過剩) and cut backs, it may come as no surprise that thousands of brave hopefuls applied for the show. The chosen 16 will compete in a series of business tasks and do their best to escape elimination. Not one of them wants to hear the fateful words: you're fired. It should also be noted that this year's apprentices are not going to be allowed to forget the terrible economic climate quite so easily. At the launch of this year's TV show, Sir Alan announced that some episodes have been “specifically made towards recognition of what difficult times we are in”． The tasks will as usual be tough tests of business wisdom, team－working and leadership skill. They will also make for some funny viewing. British viewers will be shaking their heads in disbelief at the crazy decisions of the wannabe apprentices. But perhaps the most entertaining feature of the show will be watching the hopefuls squirm(局促不安) and quarrel in the boardroom. It is here they will have to explain just why they have failed each task so badly. What drives people to take part in the show is difficult to say. Some are clearly motivated by the promise of a six－figure salary and some claim they want the experience of working with a successful businessman such as Sir Alan. One thing is for sure, the contestants will all gain some level of celebrity. The show is a regular ratings winner. To date, there has been one big winner and that is the show's creator, Mark Burnett. Originating in the US, The Apprentice's winning format has been copied all over the world and with the hype(炒作) surrounding this latest series, it looks as though the show will have success for many years to come. 1．What's the aim of contestants' taking part in The Apprentice? A．To acquire a good job. B．To meet famous people. C．To win some prize money. D．To obtain some experience. 1．答案及解析：A。細節(jié)題。本文主要介紹了The Apprenti
