答案：1．C;2．A;3．C;4．B;5．A;6．D;7．C;8．A;9．C;10．D;11．B;12．A;13．B;14．C;15．B;16．B;17．D;18．B;19．C;20．B;
解析：

(1)

本题实际上是一个形容词的最高级形式，George Stephanson的发明很多，在三者以上中选一个应该用最高级，故most是正确选择。在其余的选项中，very修饰原级，much修饰比较级，a lot修饰比较级或助词。

(2)

这里指George Stephanson造了第一辆火车，因为火车是他发明的，当然应该用make，而不可能是买来的或引进的，故选项B、C、D均应排除。

(3)

根据当时的情况，火车上的发动机是蒸汽机，故选steam。其余的选项所表述的内容均不符合事实，故不予选用。

(4)

根据下句的内容，在试验过程中他遭遇到的不是成功和快乐，而是麻烦，故选项A、C、D均应排除。

(5)

他们说蒸汽机发出的噪音和烟雾会杀死马、牛、羊等动物，因为他们极力反对，可以想象是不会说好话的，据此，buy，take away，interest这三个选项不可能是他们所说的话。

(6)

在四个选项中，可能发生爆炸的只有engine，其余三项都不可能发生爆炸。

(7)

发烫的煤可能使房子着火，而不会把房子拉倒或吹走，故选项A、B可以排除。D项pass是经过之意，该发明遭到反对的原因是有危险，若用pass，则意味着无危险，也就失去了反对的理由，不合题意。

(8)

根据句意，我们可推知当时的社会还很落后，一个新事物的产生必然会遭到很多反对，大多数人是受传统势力束缚的，故应选most。选项B和C表示很少人，D表示富人，与事实不相符。

(9)

对人们说或告诉人们，应该用tell people。若用say，则应加介词to；用speak，也应加to；用warn，应该用warn sb．of sth．这一句型。据以上分析，A、B、D搭配上均有错误。

(10)

根据常识，火车是在铁轨上运行的，所以应选rails，其余的选项明显不合题意。

(11)

此处选full of，是指火车可以拉装满人或货物的车厢，而不是空车，所以short of, empty of, without都不合题意。

(12)

本句是针对上面反对者所说火车会杀死动物、烧毁房屋而言的，说明火车无危险，故A项no great danger是正确选择。选项B和D意思相反，故应排除；选项D也表示很少有危险，但few后应接复数名词才对，而选项用单数，故D也有错误。

(13)

因为政府、报纸的反对，我们可以想像要想使人们相信火车无危险是一种难事，据此，difficult是正确选项。easy, pleasant, light都有轻松愉快之意，与句意不符。

(14)

本句后有一个不带to的不定式作宾语补足语，只有C项make后可接此不定式。其他的三个选项后若用不定式作宾语补足语，均不可省略to。

(15)

本题的意思是“过了一段时间”，一段时间在英语中是some time。A项sometimes意为“有时”，D项sometime是“某时”，而C项a few times则为“次数”，故选项A、C、D不妥。

(16)

从本题后面的by Stephanson来看，谓语动词应用被动语态，所以选项D可先予以排除。根据题意，可认定该火车是由Stephanson驾驶。was sold和was pulled均与题意不符合。

(17)

Stephanson通过自己驾驶火车证明他所说过的话，即火车无危险。proved作“证明”解，是正确选项。believe意为“相信”，seem是“似乎”之意，sense意为“感到”，“意识到”。Stephanson的所为目的是证明他的话的正确性，而不是上述A、B、C选项中所表述的意思。

(18)

本题是一定语从句修饰day，应使用关系副词when，其余的三项均不能引导定语从句。

(19)

从本题中的宾语the noises来看，谓语动词应该是heard。hear着重于结果，即“听到”；而listen to表示动作本身，即“听”，是否听到了，从listen to这个词组上是分辨不出的；catch sight of和think的宾语不可能是noise。

(20)

在远处是in the distance，由于声音大，人们在远处就听到了，故选B。其余的三项均不表示此意。

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1-10各题所给的A.B.C.和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A．kind           B．sensitive        C．fair  D．generous

 

2.                A．equally         B．slightly         C．clearly   D．increasingly

4.                A．accidents       B．mistakes        C．falls  D．deaths

7.                A．trouble         B．power          C．prison    D．control

 

8.                A．roughly         B．eventually       C．deliberately (故意地)    D．exactly

 

9.                A．awful (可怕的)   B．cruel           C．unhealthy D．unnecessary

 

10.               A．still            B．even           C．later  D．somehow

Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our   36   about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   37   us to start our journey.

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

When we reached Blao Pass, we saw a white   43   in front of us. We   44   down the pass. It seemed to us that the young girl in the white car did not want to be   45  as she was driving at full speed. Suddenly she lost  46  of her car; it turned to the left and crashed into the slope and   47  .

Quite frightened, we braked   48   and jumped out of our car. We turned her car over and pulled out the girl who was   49   in the car. The girl had narrowly escaped death.

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health，or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result．

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your   39   ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be   39   up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind．Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．

In fact that is what   44   is like；we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s   49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的）    50   may not be a bad one．
