A.a；不填 B.the；the
C.the；不填
D.a；the
解析：考查冠词的用法。take a look at“看一看”，是固定词组；nature在这里表示“这些测试的特点”，是特指，故选D。

B.postpone
C.predict
D.preserve
解析：prohibit“禁止，阻止”；postpone“推迟，延迟”；predict“预测，预言”；preserve“保护，保存”。B项符合句意。

3.(2010·浙江六校联考)—Hello！Hilton Hotel.Can I help you？
—Do you have a room for this weekend？
A.accessible
B.present
C.absent
D.available

答案：D
4.(2010·天津十二区县统考)How you deal with the misfortune when faced with it can truly your character.
A.test
B.examine
C.check
D.react

答案：A
5.(2010·山东济南统考)To her disappointment，what she had devoted herself to in nothing but failure.
A.resulting
B.results
C.has resulted
D.resulted
解析：句意：使她失望的是，她全身心投入的事情却以失败告终。devote oneself to sth.“投身于，致力于”，what she had devoted to是主语从句，result in 作谓语，意为“导致”。由主语从句中的过去完成时可推知此处应用一般过去时。
答案：D
6.Mary with you，I find her far from satisfying.
A.Compared
B.Comparing
C.Being compared
D.Compare
解析：句意：将玛丽和你相比，我发现她远不令人满意。此句中，compare的逻辑主语是I，故用现在分词作状语。
答案：B
7.Mary is always working hard，and she isto do well in the exam.
A.sure
B.certain
C.certainly
D.A or B
解析：be sure/certain to do sth.“一定/肯定能做……”。在It is certain that...句式中只能用certain。
答案：D
8.—I'm going to Paris next week.
—！ So am I.
A.What a coincidence
B.How a coincidence
C.Don't mention it
D.Good trip
解析：A项意为“真巧！”符合语境“So am I”。B项形式不对；C项“别挂在心上，别提它了”；D项“祝你旅途顺利”。如没有“So am I”，D就为正确答案。
答案：A
9.The naughty boy threw a stone into the lake，the peaceful surface.
A.destroying
B.damaging
C.interrupting
D.disturbing
解析：destroy“破坏，毁掉”，表抽象意义时，指破坏“希望，心情”等；damage指损坏具体东西；interrupt“打断，使……中断”；disturb“打扰，扰乱”。
答案：D
10.Once，the museum will be open to the public.
A.completed
B.completing
C.being completed
D.to be completed
解析：本题考查状语从句的省略。主句的主语和从句的主语一致。又因为complete与the museum之间存在着动宾关系，故用过去分词。本句前半句可补充完整为：Once the museum is completed。
答案：A
11.If you go on being so rude to me，I'll make you your insolence！
A.pay back
B.pay off
C.pay for
D.pay out
解析：句意：如果你再继续对我这么粗鲁，我将让你因蛮横无礼受到惩罚。pay for sth.在此意为“为某事受惩罚”。
答案：C
12.English，as well as Chinese and maths，of great importance now.
A.is
B.be
C.are
D.to be
解析：as well as＋名词/代词，作主语的附属成分时，谓语动词要与as well as前面的名词或代词保持一致。
答案：A
13.Itthat the earth is round.That is to say，the earth round.
A.is proved；is proved
B.proves；proves
C.proves；is proved
D.is proved；proves
解析：第一个空prove意思是“证明”，后接that从句，用被动语态；第二个空prove后接形容词，prove不能用被动结构，故选D。
答案：D
14.The box was heavy but he it upstairs.
A.managed carrying
B.managed to carry
C.tried carrying
D.tried to carry
解析：manage后可以接名词、代词或动词不定式，但是不能接动词ing形式，所以排除A；try doing 的意思是“尝试做某事”，不符合本题逻辑；根据题意“箱子很重，但是他最终把它搬到楼上。”可知句子强调最终结果，所以用manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”。try to do sth.表示“试图或努力做某事”，不定式所表示的动作不一定完成。
答案：B
15.It was not until she got homeJennifer realized she had lost her keys.
A.when
B.that
C.where
D.before
解析：考查强调句型。It
is (was )＋被强调部分＋that(who)＋句子其余部分。强调部分指人时用who或that ，指其他成分时用that，该句对not until she got home进行强调，所以答案是B。
答案：B

A
Have you ever wondered why birds sing？ Maybe you thought that they were just happy.
After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason.Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a “territory” is？ A territory is an area that an animal，usually the male，claims(声称)as its own.Only he and his family are welcome there.No other families of the same species are welcome.Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout.Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him.A bird does the same thing.But he expects an outsider almost any time，especially at nesting(筑巢)season.So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not.This screaming is what we call a bird's song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own.Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.
1.Some scientists believe that most of the time birds' singing is actually.
A.an expression of happiness
B.a way of warning
C.an expression of anger
D.a way of greeting
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话可得知答案。
答案：B
