河南信息統(tǒng)計(jì)職業(yè)學(xué)院?jiǎn)握小队⒄Z(yǔ)》高分題庫(kù)考試時(shí)間：90分鐘；命題人：教研組考生注意：1、本卷分第I卷（選擇題）和第Ⅱ卷（非選擇題）兩部分，滿分100分，考試時(shí)間90分鐘2、答卷前，考生務(wù)必用0.5毫米黑色簽字筆將自己的姓名、班級(jí)填寫在試卷規(guī)定位置上3、答案必須寫在試卷各個(gè)題目指定區(qū)域內(nèi)相應(yīng)的位置，如需改動(dòng)，先劃掉原來的答案，然后再寫上新的答案；不準(zhǔn)使用涂改液、膠帶紙、修正帶，不按以上要求作答的答案無效。第I卷（選擇題60分）一、單選題（20小題，每小題3分，共計(jì)60分）1、-（）doyoupracticeyourpronunciation?-Ipracticeit（）askingtheteacherforhelp.A.What;byB.How;byC.What;withD.How;with答案:B解析:這道題考查疑問詞和介詞的用法。疑問詞“what”側(cè)重于問事物，“how”側(cè)重于問方式。此題問的是練習(xí)發(fā)音的方式，所以用“how”?！癰y+動(dòng)名詞”表示通過某種方式，“with”通常不用于此結(jié)構(gòu)?！癮skingtheteacherforhelp”是動(dòng)名詞形式，所以用“by”，答案選B。2、Ifhehadknownhowtodoit,he（）you.A.hasshownB.hadshownC.wouldshowD.wouldhaveshown答案:D解析:這道題考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣的用法。在虛擬條件句中，如果與過去事實(shí)相反，主句要用“would+have+過去分詞”的形式。題中“ifhehadknown”表明是對(duì)過去的虛擬，所以主句要用“wouldhaveshown”。A選項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，B選項(xiàng)是過去完成時(shí)，C選項(xiàng)是一般過去將來時(shí)，均不符合虛擬語(yǔ)氣的規(guī)則，所以答案選D。3、AshleySmithisa26-year-oldsinglemotherwithadaughter.ShewasmovingintoherhouseinAtlanta,GeorgiaearlyonthemorningofMarch12nd,whenaman（1）hertoherdoor,andputaguntoherside.“Istartedwalkingtomydoor,andIfeltreally,really（2）,”shesaidinaTVinterviewlastweek.ThemanwasBrianNichols,33yearsold.He（3）atanAtlantacourthouseonMarch11st.Thepolicewere（4）him.NicholstiedSmithupwithtape,butsetherfreeaftershebeggedhimnottotakeher（5）againandagain.“Itoldhim（6）hehurtme,mylittlegirlwouldn'thaveamummy.”shesaidwithtears.“Ijusttalkedtohimandtriedto（7）believeme,”Smithsaid.SheaskedNichols（8）hechoseher.“HesaidhethoughtIwasallangel（9）fromGod,andGodaskedhimtodoso.”Smitheven（10）forthemanbeforeheallowedhertoleave.Nicholswas（11）whenshemadehimbreakfastandthatthetwoofthemwatchedTV,seeing（12）lookingforhim.“Ican't（13）that'smeontheTV!”Nicholstoldthewoman.Then,NicholsaskedSmithwhatshethoughthe（14）do.Shesaid,“Ithinkyoushouldturnyourselfin.Ifyoudon't,morepeoplearegoingtoget（15）.”

第(14)選（）A.sadB.angryC.frightenedD.amazed答案:C解析:在文中，當(dāng)Nichols問Smith她認(rèn)為他應(yīng)該怎么做時(shí)，Smith表達(dá)了對(duì)Nichols的同情和建議他自首，因?yàn)樗龘?dān)心如果不這樣做會(huì)有更多人受傷。Nichols此時(shí)的情緒應(yīng)該是驚訝和害怕，因?yàn)樗麤]想到Smith不僅沒有怨恨他，還給出這樣的建議。選項(xiàng)C“frightened”（害怕的）符合Nichols此時(shí)可能的心理狀態(tài)。選項(xiàng)A“angry”（生氣的）、B“sad”（傷心的）、D“amazed”（驚訝的）都不太能準(zhǔn)確反映Nichols的主要情緒。4、從下列選項(xiàng)中找出其括號(hào)部分與所給單詞括號(hào)部分讀音相同的選項(xiàng)。（）s(ear)chA.n(ear)B.h(ear)C.(ear)thD.h(ear)t答案:C解析:這道題考查單詞中字母組合“ear”的讀音。“search”中“ear”讀[??]。選項(xiàng)A“near”中“ear”讀[??]；選項(xiàng)B“hear”中“ear”讀[??]；選項(xiàng)C“earth”中“ear”讀[??]；選項(xiàng)D“heart”中“ear”讀[ɑ?]。所以答案選C。5、—Couldyoutellme（）?—Yes.Iboughtitonline.A.wheredoyoubuythesweaterB.whereyoubuythesweaterC.wheredidyoubuythesweaterD.whereyouboughtthesweater答案:D解析:這道題考查賓語(yǔ)從句的用法。賓語(yǔ)從句要用陳述句語(yǔ)序，A、C選項(xiàng)是疑問句語(yǔ)序，可排除。根據(jù)答語(yǔ)“bought”可知，問句動(dòng)作發(fā)生在過去，要用過去時(shí)態(tài)，B選項(xiàng)是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，不符合。所以選D選項(xiàng)，whereyouboughtthesweater符合賓語(yǔ)從句的語(yǔ)序及時(shí)態(tài)要求。6、Funandpractical,theseappsareworthdownloading.*ForestWhenworkingonyourhomework,youmightsometimesfindthatyoursmartphoneisdistrac-ting(使分心)you.AnappcalledForestcanhelpyoustayfocused.Whenyousetanewtaskintheappandsetacertainamountoftimetofinishit,atreeseedwillbe“planted”intheapp.Ifyoukeepfinishingyourtask,theseedwillgrowintoatree.Butifyouclosetheappandplaywithyourphoneinstead,thetreewillwitherandevendie.Onceyoufinishthetask,yourtreewillbe“planted”intheapp.Gradually,youwillhaveaforest!Youcanshareyourachievementswithyourfriendsandtryto“plant”differentkindsoftrees.*RocketAlarmClockIt'shardtogetoutofbedeverymorning.Youmighthitthe“snooze”button(止鬧按鈕)onyouralarmclockagainandagainjusttogetalittlemoresleep.However,theRocketAlarmClockappcanhelp!Theapp'salarmcannotbeeasilyturnedoff.Youhavetoshakeyourphonewildly,solvediffi-cultmathproblems,orevenblowintoyourphone'smicrophonetoturnitoff.Forexample,inoneoftheapp'smodes,therearesomeunidentifiedflyingobjects(UFOs)thatareattackingtheearth.YouhavetoblowhardonyourmicrophonetogetridoftheUFOsandturnoffthealarm.*XiawenThisappmakesreadingnewsfeellikechattingwithafriend.Newsstoriespopupjustlikeatextmessagefromafriend.Ifyou'reinterested,youcanclick“readon”.Ifnot,justclick“newone”.Inaddition,theapp'snewsstoriesarepresentedinaninterestingway.Thereareemojis(表情符號(hào)),audioclips(音頻剪輯)andmemestohelpyoubetterunderstandeachpicceofnews.Ifyouwanttocommentonthestoriesyouread,youcanjoindifferentgroupsanddiscussthestorieswithothers.

Howmanyappsarementionedinthispassage?A.TwoB.Three.C.Four.D.Five.答案:B解析:根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，文中明確提到了三個(gè)應(yīng)用程序：Forest、RocketAlarmClock和Xiawen。每個(gè)應(yīng)用都有詳細(xì)的描述和功能介紹，因此可以確定文中提及的應(yīng)用數(shù)量為三個(gè)。7、Thereisn't（）meatontheplate,butthere're（）cakesonit.A.any;someB.some;someC.any;muchD.some;any答案:A解析:這道題考查不定代詞的用法。any常用于否定句和疑問句，some常用于肯定句。meat是不可數(shù)名詞，cakes是可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。在否定句“Thereisn't”中用any修飾meat，在肯定句“there're”中用some修飾cakes。所以答案選A。8、Shespoke（）tothefrightenedchild.A.gentlyB.gentleC.gentlemanD.gentlely答案:A解析:這道題考查單詞的詞性及用法。“gently”是副詞，“gentle”是形容詞。在句中“spoke”是動(dòng)詞，需要用副詞來修飾，A選項(xiàng)“gently”符合。B選項(xiàng)“gentle”是形容詞不能修飾動(dòng)詞。C選項(xiàng)“gentleman”是名詞“紳士”。D選項(xiàng)“gentlely”拼寫錯(cuò)誤。所以應(yīng)選A選項(xiàng)“gently”，以恰當(dāng)表達(dá)“她溫柔地對(duì)受驚的孩子說話”。9、Asthetrainwastopullout,herhusbandcamerunningalongandclimbed________.A.abroadB.broadC.aboardD.board答案:C解析:這道題考查單詞的詞義及用法?！癮board”有“在（船、飛機(jī)、火車等）上”的意思。“abroad”指“在國(guó)外”，“broad”意為“寬闊的”，“board”是“木板；董事會(huì)”。在描述登上火車的情境中，應(yīng)該用“aboard”，所以答案選C。10、WithouttheCommunistPartyofChina,（）NewChinanow.A.therewouldbenoB.therewillbeC.therewerenotD.therehadn'tbeen答案:A解析:這道題考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣的運(yùn)用。在英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法中，虛擬語(yǔ)氣用于表示與事實(shí)相反的假設(shè)情況。題中“WithouttheCommunistPartyofChina”表示一種假設(shè)，這種情況下要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。A選項(xiàng)“therewouldbeno”是對(duì)現(xiàn)在情況的虛擬，符合語(yǔ)法規(guī)則。B選項(xiàng)是一般將來時(shí)，C選項(xiàng)是一般過去時(shí)，D選項(xiàng)是過去完成時(shí)，均不符合這種假設(shè)語(yǔ)境。所以應(yīng)選A選項(xiàng)。11、AlbertEinsteinwasfromaJewishfamily.HewasborninGermany.Whenhewas（1）,helikedtoaskquestions.Bythetimehewasfourteenyearsold,he（2）advancedmathematics（3）byhimself.（4）thenhehaddecidedtobecomeaphysicistand（5）himself（6）abstract(抽象)research.Hisfamilywasnotrich,buthisparentsmanaged（7）himtoatechnicalschooland（8）totheFederalInstituteofTechnologyinSwitzerland.Aftergraduation,hebegantoteach.Later,heworkedinagovernmentoffice.Then（9）themoneyhesaved,hecontinuedhisstudiesattheUniversityofZurich.In1905hegota（10）degree.Itwasatthattime（11）hebegantheresearchandstudieswhichled（12）hisfamousTheoryofRelativity.Formostpeople,histheorywas（13）difficulttounderstand.Manyscientistslaughed（14）itand（15）wouldacceptit.ButEinsteinstucktoitandwentonwithhisresearch.

第(14)選（）A.inB.onC.atD./答案:C解析:在文中描述愛因斯坦的理論最初遭遇的反應(yīng)時(shí)，提到“Manyscientistslaughed（14）itand（15）wouldacceptit.”，根據(jù)上下文，“l(fā)aughedat”是一個(gè)固定搭配，表示“嘲笑”，符合科學(xué)家們對(duì)他理論初始反應(yīng)的描述，即覺得它難以理解而加以嘲笑，并不愿接受。因此，第(14)空應(yīng)填“at”，選項(xiàng)C正確。12、Itwas（）whohelpedTomoutwhenhewasintrouble.A.meB.IC.usD.ours答案:B解析:這道題考查人稱代詞的主格用法。在強(qiáng)調(diào)句型“Itis/was+人稱代詞主格+who/that...”中，需要用人稱代詞主格。A選項(xiàng)“me”是賓格，C選項(xiàng)“us”是賓格，D選項(xiàng)“ours”是名詞性物主代詞，都不符合強(qiáng)調(diào)句型要求。B選項(xiàng)“I”是主格，所以答案選B。13、TianwuhasclimbedHuashanmorethan3,000timesinthepastdecade.Heisa（1）,transportinggoodsuptheslopesonhisback,foraliving.Butheismost（2）,forhisdisability:Hehasonlyonearm.He（3）hisleftarminanaccidentin1992atthecoalmine.Withtwoyoungchildrenandparentsto（4）,hewasworkingovertimethatdaywhenapulleybrake（5）.Afterthatheopenedastore,butitwentbankruptfromtoomany（6）sales.（7）hishardwork,hewasleftwithnothingbutdebts.ThenheheardaboutbearersforHuashanMountainfromafriendandthoughtitwouldbean（8）job.Hisfirstjobwasto（9）30kilogramsofgoodstoHighLadder.Hehadacompanionwho（10）mid-way,buthefinishedhisjobwith（11）paininhisknees.Butashe（12）experiencethroughtheyears,hehasdevelopedhisown（13）forclimbingthemountain.Nowhecarries60kilogramsofgoodsupthemountaineveryday—1kilogrammorethanhisownbodyweight.（14）,hemakesthreetofourtripseachdaytoandfrom.“I（15）eachstepverycarefullyandhaveneverhadanyaccidentinthepast10years.”Hesaid.Beingabearerisatiresomeanddulljobinmanypeople'sminds,butheenjoyshimself.Heap-preciatesandremembersthecalligraphy（16）intherocksandcopiesthem.Hisfavoriteoneis,“Thoughheavysnowfallsdownonverdant(青翠的)pines,thepinesstillstand（17）?！盚eoncesaid,“I'dliketostayherebecausethemountainpaysmyhardwork（18）。”“Idon'tlament(對(duì)……感到悲痛)formy（19）daysandwillnotfearthefuture,”Hesaid.Thepainstakingjobhasgivenhimastrong（20）

第15空填（）。A.careB.mindC.followD.watch答案:D解析:在原文中，Tianwu提到他“非常仔細(xì)地**觀察**（watches）每一步，并且在過去的10年里從未發(fā)生過任何事故”。這里“watch”表示仔細(xì)觀察、留意，以確保安全。選項(xiàng)D“watch”與原文描述相符，表示Tianwu在爬山送貨的過程中非常謹(jǐn)慎，注意每一步的安全。其他選項(xiàng)A“care”通常表示關(guān)心或在意，B“mind”表示注意或介意，C“follow”表示跟隨，均不符合原文語(yǔ)境。14、從下面單詞中找一個(gè)括號(hào)部分讀音不同的單詞。（）A.f(or)mB.(or)angeC.m(or)eD.f(our)teen答案:B解析:這道題考查單詞中“or”的讀音。在英語(yǔ)發(fā)音規(guī)則中，A選項(xiàng)“form”、C選項(xiàng)“more”、D選項(xiàng)“fourteen”中“or”的讀音相同。而B選項(xiàng)“orange”中“or”的讀音與其他三個(gè)不同。所以答案是B選項(xiàng)。15、（）wonderfultimewehadyesterdayatLisa'sparty!A.WhatB.HowC.WhataD.Howa答案:C解析:這道題考查感嘆句的用法。在英語(yǔ)中，what引導(dǎo)的感嘆句結(jié)構(gòu)為“What+(a/an)+形容詞+名詞+主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ)”，how引導(dǎo)的感嘆句結(jié)構(gòu)為“How+形容詞/副詞+主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ)”。題中“wonderfultime”是“形容詞+名詞”的結(jié)構(gòu)，且time是可數(shù)名詞，所以用“Whata”，答案選C。16、Mr.Smithisconsidering______acomputer,whichisconsidered______agreathelpinhisworkandstudy.A.tobuy;tobeB.buying;tobeC.tobuy;beingD.buying;being答案:B解析:這道題考查consider的用法。considerdoingsth.是“考慮做某事”，所以第一空用buying。beconsideredtobe表示“被認(rèn)為是”，是固定搭配，第二空用tobe。A選項(xiàng)tobuy形式錯(cuò)誤，C、D選項(xiàng)的being不符合這兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)的用法。綜上所述，答案選B。17、-Tom,whichsubjectdoyoulike（）,mathsorEnglish?-Maths.A.wellB.betterC.bestD.thebest答案:B解析:這道題考查比較級(jí)的用法。在兩者（maths和English）之間進(jìn)行比較，要用比較級(jí)。well的比較級(jí)是better，best是最高級(jí)，用于三者及以上比較。這里是問更喜歡哪個(gè)科目，所以要用better，答案選B。18、After20yearsofmarriage,mywifewantedmetotakeanotherwomanoutto（1）.Shesaid,“Iloveyou,butIknowthisotherwomanlovesyoutoo.”Theotherwomanthatmywifewantedmetovisitwasmymother,whohasbeenawidow(寡婦)for19years,butmybusylifehadmadeitimpossibletovisither（2）.ThatnightIcalledto（3）heroutfordinner.“What'swrong?Areyouwell?”she'asked.Mymotheristhetypeofwomanwhosuspectsthatalatenight（4）isasignofbadnews.“Ithoughtthatitwouldbepleasanttospendsometimewithyou,”I（5）.Shethoughtaboutitforamoment,and（6）.Duringthedinner,wehadanagreeableconversation—（7）extraordinarybutrecenteventsofeachother'slife.Beforewe（8）,shesaid,“I'llgooutwithyouagain,（9）onlyifyouletmeinviteyou.”Afewdays（10）,mymotherdiedofaheartattack.It（11）sosuddenlythatIdidn'thaveachancetodoanythingforher.Afewdaysafterthefuneral,Ireceivedanenvelopewithare-ceipt(收據(jù))fromthesameplacewheremotherandIhad（12）.Anattachednote（13）:“Ipaidthisbill（14）.Iwasn'tsurethatIcouldbethere;butnevertheless,Ipaidfortwo（15）一oneforyouandtheotherforyour（16）.Youwillneverknowwhatthatnightmeantforme.I（17）you,son.”Atthatmoment,I（18）theimportanceofsayingintime:“ILOVEYOU”.Giveyourfamilythe（19）theydeserve,becausesometimesthingscannotbe（20）till“someothertime”.

第20空填（）。A.ensuredB.delayedC.forgottenD.forgiven答案:B解析:根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，作者通過回憶與母親的最后一次晚餐，意識(shí)到了及時(shí)表達(dá)對(duì)家人的愛的重要性。文章最后一句“becausesometimesthingscannotbe（20）till'someothertime'”強(qiáng)調(diào)了有些事情不能拖延到以后去做。選項(xiàng)B“delayed”意為“推遲”，與文章中的語(yǔ)境相符，表示有些事情不能推遲到以后，而應(yīng)該及時(shí)去做。其他選項(xiàng)A“ensured”意為“確保”，C“forgotten”意為“忘記”，D“forgiven”意為“原諒”，均與文章語(yǔ)境不符。19、JohnSmithappearstobe___honestmanA.anB.aC.theD.one答案:A解析:這道題考查不定冠詞的用法。在英語(yǔ)中，honest發(fā)音以元音音素開頭，不定冠詞要用an。a用于輔音音素開頭的單詞前，the表示特指，one意思不符。所以，JohnSmithappearstobe后面接不定冠詞an來修飾honestman。20、What（）interestingworkitis!Itmustbe（）greatfun.A.an;aB.a;theC./;/D.the;the答案:C解析:這道題考查冠詞的用法。在“interestingwork”中，“work”是不可數(shù)名詞，前面不用不定冠詞，所以排除A、B選項(xiàng)?！癴un”也是不可數(shù)名詞，前面不用定冠詞，排除D選項(xiàng)。綜上所述，答案選C，這里不需要使用任何冠詞。第Ⅱ卷（非選擇題40分）二、填空題（10小題，每小題3分，共計(jì)30分）1、DearFiona,

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，在A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳答案填入文中(11)處。（）A.youB.meC.himD.us答案:B解析:在句子“Andeverythingisgoingwellwith_____(11)_____”中，根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境，這句話是在描述作者自己在北京的情況。由于后文提到了“Myhusband，Ben，isbusywithhis_____(13)_____，too”，說明作者的丈夫也很忙，因此可以推斷出此處作者是在說自己一切都好，所以應(yīng)該用代詞“me”來指代作者自己。因此，選項(xiàng)B“me”是正確答案。2、DearFiona,

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，在A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳答案填入文中(23)處。（）A.dinnerB.lunchC.dishD.breakfast答案:D解析:根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，Laura在信中提到“Afterwritingtoyou，Ineedtoprepare_____fortomorrowmorning.”，意思是寫完信后，她需要為明天早上準(zhǔn)備某物。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有D選項(xiàng)“breakfast”早餐符合早上準(zhǔn)備的食物，因此答案為D。3、[未知題型(5)]（改寫句子，句意不變，每空只填一個(gè)詞）

Thisistheriver．Weusedtoswiminitinsummer．Thisistheriver（）weusedto（）insummer．答案:where;swim4、[未知題型(5)]單句改錯(cuò)。ThenoticewasA(written)andB(putting)upC(by)D(the)studentsyesterday．答案:B，put5、Isthere_____betweentheblackboardandthenoticeboard,Mary?A.somethingB.anythingC.nothingD.everything答案:B解析:在一般疑問句中，通常使用"anything"來詢問是否存在某物或某事，而"something"則用于肯定句中。本題干中的句子為一般疑問句，詢問黑板和布告欄之間是否有某物，因此應(yīng)使用"anything"。所以選項(xiàng)B是正確的。6、Ilikegoingtoschool_____mybike.A.inB.onC.byD.at答案:B解析:在英語(yǔ)中，表示“騎自行車”的固定短語(yǔ)為“onmybike”，其中介詞“on”用于描述騎在自行車上的狀態(tài)。因此，在句子“Ilikegoingtoschool_____mybike”中，應(yīng)選用介詞“on”，表示“我喜歡騎自行車上學(xué)”。7、DearFiona,
