A. is; has been B. are; has been

C. is; have been D. are; have been

【易錯點悟】解答該題的關鍵是要注意a number of 和the number of 后接名詞復數作主語時的主謂一致關系。

【要點精析】a number of意思為“許多”，后接復數名詞作主語時，應視為復數，謂語動詞要用復數形式； the number of后接復數名詞，意思為“……的數量”，表示單數意義，謂語動詞要用單數形式。

【答案】B

-So he does. He is often seen _____ heavily before his teammates have even arrived at practice. （2007浙江余杭中學2月卷）

C. be sweated D. sweating

【易錯點悟】解答該題關鍵是要正確處理好“感覺動詞、使役動詞”主動形式與被動形式復合結構中動詞的選用。

【答案解析】根據句子結構可知，感覺動詞see用于被動結構，選項A、C不可以用于這一結構中；選項B為被動意義，不成立；只有選項D(sweating)現在分詞與be seen構成復合結構，強調狀態。

【答案】D

閱讀理解

(A)

If you’re the type of traveler who just wants a suitable place to hang your hat and you don’t want to spend a fortune to do it, here are several ways to save on your next hotel room:

*Be Flexible Hotel rates are based on supply and demand, so be aware of peak periods. If your destination’s high season is from December through April and you’re trying to book near the end of April, you might find considerable savings if you change your travel dates by a week or two.

*Check Hotel Web Sites The large travel-booking Web sites often sell rooms from the middlemen who have bought up empty hotel moms. But the major hotel chains also offer last-minute discounts, and because they’re not paying the middleman, they sometimes have better deals than the travel sites.

*Don’t be Afraid to Bargain Most people are so intimidated (畏縮的) by know-it-all hotel desk clerks that they don’t bargain for a better deal. But bargaining for a better deal is often worth the trouble, because most hotel general managers would prefer having a customer paying a lower-than-usual rate to no customer at all. And if you find something unfair on your hotel bill, don’t be afraid to complain. To keep your goodwill, hotels will often reduce or cancel such charges.

*Avoid Hidden Costs Expensive little extras hotels never mention can increase the cost of your stay. Don’t let this happen. Find out about resort fees, fees for parking and Internet use before you agree to stay. And don’t touch the hotel’s phone unless you absolutely have to - the rates can be more than $2 a minute even inside the United States.

36. According to the passage, which of the following will save you some money?

A. Change your visiting places in high season.

B. Book rooms through Web sites.

C. Use the hotel’s phone.

D. Bargain with desk clerks for your room,

37. That travelers can bargain for better deal is often based on the fact that _______.

A. managers often prefer a lower-paid customer to no customer

B. there are many places which should not be charged

C. customers are often afraid to complain the price

D. the desk clerks and managers often cheat the travelers

38. The passage was mainly written to ________.

A. advertise hotels B. complain high costs

C. serve the travelers D. introduce hotel services

(B)

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.

“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”

George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.

Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy-television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.

Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the patents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.

39. According to George, reading aloud to children ________.

A. help them correct mistakes

B. is helpful to their reading

C. is parents’ first duty to their children

D. can get children out of television’s attraction

40. The underlined word (in Paragraph 4 ) means something that __________.

A. can improve children’s reading

B. can help children’s right way of reading

C. can make children interested in reading

D. can make children not attentive

41. What does the fourth paragraph mainly want to show is important?

A. reading skills B. reading speed

C. feeding materials D. reading environment

42. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?

A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.

B. Advice is given to control their children.

C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.

D. How children improve their reading by themselves.

43. Which one would be the best title for the passage?

A. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.

B. Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.

C. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Render.

D. How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.

【答案解析】

【單項填空】

1．D。表示頭銜職務地名詞作賓語、補語及同位語時（有時放在as之后），一般不用冠詞。

2．C。involve在這里意為“包括、包含”。

3．C。require意為“要求”，引導賓語從句時用虛擬語氣。

4．B。表示時間、距離、金額數量等的名詞作為一個整體作主語時，謂語動詞常用單數形式。

5．B。B。in turn意為“依次”。in return意為“作為回報”。on his return意為“他一回來”。D無此用法。

6．C。house在此句中為動詞，意為“給（某人）提供住所”。根據題意，其他選項均不符合。

7．D。此題考查be supposed to的用法。因為此事是已過去的事情，故用不定式的完成式。應選D。

8．B。hand over意為“移交、交出”。take over意為“接管”。go over意為“復習、仔細檢查”。turn over意為“移交給、翻身”。

9．A。根據后面暗示動作正在進行，more forests 與destroy之間構成邏輯上的被動關系且動作正在進行。故選A項。

10．A。remain意為“剩下、留下”，是不及物動詞。leave是及物動詞，若用被動形式也對。

11．D。seat是動詞，意為“使……坐下”，常用被動形式，或后接反身代詞構成seat oneself。

12．D。link指將人或物連接或聯系起來。combine意為“結合、聯合”，指為了一目的而把兩個以上的事物聯系起來。unite意為“聯合、團結一致”。

【完形填空】

16．A。“把…帶到…去” 用take sth. to …來表示。carry無方向性；send意為“寄去”，都不符合題意

17．D。從第二段可知，不是他妻子；從romantic picnic可知，只能是他的lady

28．D。still 表示仍然，進一步說明前面的honest people

29．B。name 和后面的name 一致

30．A。年輕人去約會的是他的(girlfriend)，而不是他的(wife)，現在經理讓他留下他及他妻子的名字，不是等于把他和他girlfriend的事公布于眾嗎？對這年輕人來說，當然是一個 problem。

31．B。so表示這樣，

32．C。easy 表示向不認識的人展示好的一面是很容易的

33．A。know表示認識

34．C。know表示知道

35．B。最后一段作者通過上面的事例，談了一點自己的想法。

【閱讀理解】

36．D。文章的第一條建議并沒有提到更改地方會省錢，因此A項不對：由第二條建議可知，通過網站買票并不一定能夠省錢，因此B項不對；由最后一條建議可知旅店的電話費有時是很貴的，因此C項不對；而由第三條建議可知，D項是正確的。

37．A。由文章的第三條建議可知，之所以旅客能夠與旅店進行討價還價是因為他們往往寧愿旅客交低費也不愿房間空著沒有人住。

38．C。由文章的第一段可知，本篇文章主要是介紹如何降低旅店住宿費用的方法。因此C項最佳。

B篇屬于社會教育類文章。本文主要是介紹父母給孩子讀書的重要性，父母給孩子讀書有利于孩子的閱讀水平的提高。

39．B。由文章的第三段可知。選項A、C沒有提到；D項的表述不符合原文。

40．D。既然本段第一句就說電視是閱讀的敵人，以及后面對電視的限制，因此可以知道電視不利于讀書，所以選D。

41．D。本段主要是講了電視對孩子的閱讀會產生不好的影響，常常讀書的環境沒有電視或者電視關掉，這些都屬于閱讀環境的內容，因此D項正確。

42．A。文章的最后一段的最后一句“of course to know what kind of books to read is also important”暗示了后面應該涉及到孩子應該讀什么樣的書。因此，A項正確。

43．C。本篇文章主要是說明父母給孩子讀書的重要性，父母給孩子讀書有利于孩子閱讀水平的提高。因此C項正確。A項應該是父母多花時間在孩子身上而不是相反；B項與D硬的范圍模糊，不能概括文章的主要內容。

One possible version:

Some students think that it is very important to have an exam. If so, we know the results of our studies, and the exams also make us study hard.

However, other students don’t think so. They say if they get high marks in the exams, they are very excited. But when they fail, they will be in very low spirits. What’s worse, they don’t usually take part in other extra-curricular activities. If the exams are prohibited, we don’t have to worry about the marks. In that case, we can choose the subjects we like, take part in more activities and learn more through social practice, which will greatly benefit us in the future.

In my opinion, it is. But our exams should be reformed. It should test not only our knowledge, but also our practical abilities.
