35、知，史密斯先生當時沒有去看電影，而是去游泳了。應(yīng)選副詞instead來表示這種關(guān)系。A項后應(yīng)加名詞或動名詞。C、D兩項不合題意。 2. 解析：選A。wish用來表達“祝愿”。 3. 解析：選A。at the end of the street意為“在街的盡頭”，其他選項不合題意。 4. 解析：選C。nearly意為“幾乎”。符合句意“任務(wù)幾乎要完成了，母親打來電話”。 5. 解析：選D?？疾檫B詞。第二句句意為：即使受到邀請也不去。 6. 解析：選A。come out意為“出版”，one在此相當于a book。 7. 解析：選D。however在這里引導的是讓步狀語從句，意為“無論多

36、么”。 8. 解析：選C。a number of意為“許多；大量”，practise后跟v.ing形式作賓語。the number of意為“……的數(shù)量”。 9. 解析：選D。the reason作主語，我們用that從句作表語，而不是because作表語。 10. 解析：選B。句意為：我們家鄉(xiāng)的風景美得無法表達。 11. 解析：選C。forget it意為“休想，不可能”，在意思上與下文相符。 12. 解析：選D。根據(jù)上下文的意思，只有D項最符合題干要求，即“是的，我介意，你最好別抽”。 13. 解析：選C。連詞as表示前后句中動作的同時發(fā)生，引導時間狀語從句。with后應(yīng)接名

37、詞或短語，不能接句子；while引導時間狀語，表示前后對比關(guān)系，此處不合題意；when僅表時間，無同時發(fā)生之意。 14. 解析：選C。考查admit的用法。admit doing sth.意為“承認做過某事”，是固定句型。 15. 解析：選B。引導主語從句且在句中作主語，排除C、D兩項，又因which表示的意思不對，故只能選B。what在此作主語從句的主語并引導主語從句。 Ⅴ. 閱讀理解 1. 解析：選B。細節(jié)理解題。從第一段我們可以了解到，莎拉·布萊曼的音樂特色是歌劇，流行音樂，和爵士樂的相互交融的綜合產(chǎn)物。 2. 解析：選C。細節(jié)理解題。第二段說“After a while no

38、t having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different”可知，布萊曼并沒有覺得沒有孩子有什么不正常的。 3. 解析：選D。詞義理解題。spot意為“認出，發(fā)現(xiàn)”。1981年布萊曼被Webber發(fā)現(xiàn)，遇到了“伯樂”。 4. 解析：選A。意圖推斷題。文章最后一段援引了布萊曼的話，充滿了無奈。布萊曼并沒有說自己因為英國人不喜歡她而痛恨英國，但她也坦言她并不想念自己的家鄉(xiāng)，雖然只

39、是惦念父母和家人?！癐 just accept it for what it is”說明布萊曼只有接受現(xiàn)實而已。 5. 解析：選B。細節(jié)理解題。文章第二段末尾提及股神Buffett今年的股票下滑了15%，目前的財富為500億美元。 6. 解析：選C。細節(jié)理解題。文章第四段中提到“rising oil and dizzy art prices fuelled the entry of 31 new members into the ultrarich club and the return of eight previous members.”即油價上漲與撲朔迷離的藝術(shù)品價格使得31位新成

40、員加入最富人的行列，另有8位成員重返400最富排行榜。 7. 解析：選C。意圖推斷題。文章最后一段中提到“just over 10 percent are women, led by television star Oprah Winfrey whose fortune rose 200 million dollars to 2.7 billion dollars”，400最富排行榜中只有10%的人是女士，為首的是電視明星Oprah Winfrey，這一例證說明，占據(jù)財富的不僅僅是男士，女士同樣可以創(chuàng)造財富。 8. 解析：選B。推理判斷題。文章第四段與第六段列舉了油價暴漲，藝術(shù)品市場的高深莫測，股票市場和房地產(chǎn)行業(yè)的動蕩不定使得新富翁榜上有名，位居顯貴者名落孫山。由此可以推斷：市場的穩(wěn)定性對財富具有重要的影響。 9. 解析：選A。標題概括題。全文以比爾·蓋茨為中心，敘述了他重領(lǐng)世界最富的情況。因此A項正確。
