题目内容
Misunderstandings_______ from short of communication, unless______ properly, may lead to serious problems.
- A.arisen; handling
- B.arising; handled
- C.rising; handled
- D.risen; handling
试题分析:句意:由于缺乏交流误解不断出现,如果不及时合理地处理,这些误解也许会导致更严重的问题。arise出现;rise上升;handle处理。这里整个句子的谓语动词是may lead,第一空是非谓语动词arise与misunderstandings之间是主动关系,第二空unless后是省略句,完整的是unless they are handled properly,
故选B。
考点:考查省略及非谓语动词的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。省略是高中阶段的常考的内容,必须掌握省略的用法及条件。省略和非谓语动词放在一起考查增加了试题的难度,这两项都是高中应该掌握的语法项目,需要考生多多练习。
即学即练:Suddenly, a tall man driving a golden carriage ________ the girl and took her away, ________ into the woods.
A. seizing, disappeared B. seized, disappeared
C. seizing, disappearing D. seized, disappearing
解析:D。有句中的and可知第一空所填的动词与took是并列谓语,故用seized; 第二空是现在分词短语作伴随状语。句意为“突然,一个赶着黄色马车的高个男人,抓住那个姑娘并把她带走了,消失在森林里”。
阅读下面的短文,从短文后所给的四个选项中,选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项
The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves.
------A.A. Milne
I have spent most of my career as a traveling salesman. There’s 36 lonelier than having meals myself in a coffee shop. One year, my five-year-old daughter Jeanine gave me a 37 . It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted 38 saying “I love My Dad!” Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a 39 place on my desk.
Soon I had to leave on another business 40 . This time when I was 41 , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years 42 by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends 43 the way.
44 one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was 45 . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk 46 , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late, 47 I drove several hours to get my little 48 , arriving near midnight.
When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some 49 business travelers looked at us, I think, with some 50 and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to 51 it to me the very next day.
Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel 52 much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time 53 on my dresser??????????--- a reminder that 54 is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home 55 .

E. People’s misunderstanding about credit cards. F. Ways to save on the interest. |
80.______ Although credit cards are already a more acceptable part of the financial dealings, they are still regarded, especially in the time of a serious economic crisis, by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later” system. Along with hire-purchase regulations, credit cards, according to some, provide encouragement to spend more money. However, it’s only the fool who is dominated by the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.
81.______ Advertising campaigns have already promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They avoid the need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. And the monthly credit card bill is a loyal booker keeping your monthly purchase record and indicating your buying habits.
82.______ All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as two percent a year. But sensible purchase using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest-free credit. Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further.
83.______ It is worthwhile consulting more credit card companies before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted, interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets, though most cards cover major stores.
84.______ Undoubtedly, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at lease help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty. However, we should also remember that the wrong use of the little plastic may drag us deep into financial troubles. More than half of the American personal bankruptcy(破产) and credit failure cases are connected with the wrong use of the credit card. Therefore, every time you open your wallet and reach for a credit card, remember to ask yourself:” Is the item necessary to me?” and “Do I really need so many credit cards?”
