There are 5 channels on British television and each channel has several news programmes all day long. Some programmes are only for 3 minutes but some are one hour long. The people who read the news are called news presenters and because they appear on television every day, they are very famous.
Trevor McDonald is a popular news presenter in England in the news studio. He presents a programme called News at Ten every Monday to Friday evenings. Another popular news presenter is Kirsty Young. She has a modern style of reading news and, as you can see, she sits on the desk not on a chair!
Television news presenters need to have worked as journalists because they have to write most of the news that they read. Sometimes an important new event happens after the programme has started, so the presenter has to be able to read something without looking at it first. They must always keep calm even when there are many changes during the programme. At the end of News at Ten, Trevor McDonald says, "And finally…" Then he reads an unusual or interesting item. It's a famous saying in England now.

试卷第1页，共3页
参考答案：
1．A
【详解】句意：——我的梦想是有一天在月球上建一所大学。——听起来像是个不寻常的梦。我希望你能实现它。
考查不定冠词。不定冠词a/an表示泛指，a用在首字母是辅音音素开头的单词前；an用在首字母是元音音素开头的单词前。the是定冠词，表示特指。第一空是“建一所大学”，这里用不定冠词，university是以辅音音素开头的，用不定冠词a；第二空是“是个不寻常的梦”，用不定冠词，unusual首字母是以元音音素开头的，用不定冠词an。根据题意，故选A。
2．B
【详解】句意：——你叔叔四十多岁了吗？——是的。他的41岁生日下个月就要到了。
考查数词用法。“in one's+整十数的复数形式”意为“在某人几十多岁时”，故第一个空格处应为forties；表示“41岁生日”时，birthday前应用序数词表示顺序，故第二空格处应为forty-first。故选B。
3．B
【详解】句意：科比布莱恩特是一个篮球英雄。他被数以百万计的人尊重，不仅因为他的成就，还有他的精神。
考查一般现在时的被动语态和介词辨析。第一处构成”be admired by sb”，表示“被某人尊重”。for 因为，as作为。第二处强调人们尊重他的原因，故选B。
4．C
【详解】句意：——你知道SOHO是什么意思吗？——它指的是小型办公室和家庭办公室。越来越多的人现在可以通过网络在家里工作了。结合语境可以推断这句话表达的意思是“它指的是小型办公室和家庭办公室。越来越多的人现在可以通过网络在家里工作了。”所以设空处的介词短语表达的意思是“通过网络”，应该用介词through，故答案选C。
点睛：by和through都有“通过”的意思。by是通过某种方式、方法，through是通过某种途径，；by只讲结果，因此很直接；而through则侧重通过“过程”得到结果，因此有“间接”的含义。本题根据句意可知是“通过网络这种途径在家里工作”，所以through符合题意，故答案选C。
5．D
【详解】句意：我的爷爷在年轻的时候常常给日本军队修铁路，他被迫从早到晚辛勤的工作。
考查动词辨析。 invited 邀请；encouraged鼓舞；allowed 容许；forced被迫。依据句意可知，他是被迫的。故选D。
6．A

7．C
【详解】句意：——我什么时候交上我的报告？——明天一做完就交上。
考查动词时态及语态。根据答语tomorrow是一般将来时的标志，报告应该是被完成的，用被动语态，故选C。
8．A
【详解】句意：中国没有一个强大的足球队，中国队赢得世界杯之前也许将用数百年时间。
before在......之前；since自从；after在......之后；when当......时候；根据China doesn't have a strong football team可知中国要在几百年后也许能赢世界杯，也就是赢世界杯前，将会是几百年；故选A。
9．B
【详解】句意：——姚明是什么时候进入NBA的？——嗯，他没有得到一个机会为NBA球队效力，直到他帮助上海大鲨鱼队赢得2002年CBA冠军。根据句意"姚明是什么时候进入NBA的？嗯，他没有得到一个机会为NBA球队效力，直到他帮助上海大鲨鱼赢得2002年CBA年冠军"。主语he他，是动作offer“提供”的承受者，因此用被动语态，事情发生在过去，因此用一般过去时态的被动语态，结构是was/were+动词的过去分词，因此C，D选项排除；结合语境应该是"没有得到机会…直到赢得冠军"，用not…until…"直到…才"句型．因此用否定形式，所以A选项排除；故答案选B。
10．B
【详解】句意：——我想知道如果我把我的汽车停在这里是否有关系。——当然有，你需要找个更安全的地方。
考查宾语从句的用法。根据后文的肯定回答，可知用whether 或者if引导。结合句意，故选B。
11．C
【详解】句意：真可怜！杰克在滑冰的时候摔倒了，他伤得很严重。
考查动词时态。短语fall down表示摔倒；本题考查while引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般过去，从句用过去进行时。故选C。

13．C
【详解】句意：莫言的小说《蛙》，自从2009年出版以来，被翻译成许多语言。
考查现在完成时的被动语态。根据since可知主句用现在完成时态，排除A/D；根据主语和translate之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态。故选C。
【点睛】
14．C
【详解】句意：这两个女孩躲进了一个洞里，敌人没找到她们。
考查短语辨析。got away离开；lost their lives失去生命；went into hiding躲藏起来；were taken notice被注意到。根据in a cave和the enemies didn't find them可知是躲藏起来。故选C。
15．A

考查情景交际。Don’t lose heart不要灰心；Don’t mention it别提了；That’s unusual那是不寻常的；You must be joking你一定在开玩笑吧。根据答句中No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small.可知是在鼓励对方，用Don’t lose heart符合语境。故选A。
