　　2．If you have a good________of English, you'll get a wellpaid job very easily.

　　A．control

　　答案　C　[句意：如果你精通英语，就会很容易地找到一份高薪工作。此处用have a good command of表示“精通”。control“控制”；improvement“改善”；demand“需要”，均不符合题意。]

　　3．The managing director took the________for the accident, although it was not his fault.

　　A．guilt

　　B．charge

　　C．blame

　　答案　C　[句意：尽管不是总经理的过错，但是他承担了这次事故的责任。take the blame for“对……承担责任”；take charge of “负责，掌管”，charge前无定冠词the。]

　　4．You have been sitting on my hat and now it is badly out of________．

　　A．date

　　C．order

　　D．balance

　　答案　B　[out of shape是“变形”的意思，根据前面“你坐在我的帽子上”可判断出帽子是“变形”了。out of date意为“过时”；out of order意为“混乱”；out of balance意为“失衡”。]

　　5．The photographer needs to charge up the digital camera every day as the battery________quickly.

　　A．shuts up

　　B．ends up

　　A．switch on

　　B．turn on

　　A．whoever

　　B．anyone

　　C．whomever

　　D．those who

　　答案　A　[句意：总经理已决定任命他认为有活力、聪明且具有良好品质的人为公司领导人。题干中he thinks为插入成分，故put 之后的宾语从句缺少主语，且从句谓语动词为单数，故正确答案为A项。]

　　9．The company always________great importance to the quality of their products. That's why there is always steady increase in sales year by year.

　　A．puts

　　B．attaches

　　C．makes

　　D．plays

　　答案　B　[考查动词词义辨析。句意：这家公司一直很重视自己产品的质量，这就是它销售额每年都稳步增长的原因。attach importance to“重视”。]

　　A．limited

　　B．limiting

　　C．to limit

　　D．to be limited

　　答案　A　[考查limit的用法。句意：在我看来，养狗不应当被禁止，而应限制在固定的区域内。limit与主语keeping dogs是被动关系，故构成be limited to...意为“被限制在……”。]

　　11．The football fans often make a ________about which team will win the coming match.

　　A．profession

　　B．preparation

　　C．prediction

　　D．progress

　　答案　C　[考查名词词义辨析。句意：球迷经常预测哪个队会赢得即将进行的比赛。make a prediction“预测”。]

　　A．grow on

　　C．take on

　　D．rely on

　　答案　D　[句意：琳达不必依靠她的父母了，她现在是一名护士，完全可以独立了。此处要用rely on表示“依靠”；grow on“使……逐渐喜欢”；bring on“引起，导致”；take on“呈现，雇用”。]

　　1．She is still________about her life in spite of the hard life she has gone through in the past three years.

　　A．anxious

　　B．optimistic

　　C．crazy

　　D．concerned

　　答案　B　考查形容词辨析。句意为：尽管在过去三年中经历了生活的艰辛，但她依然对生活保持乐观。be optimistic about对……乐观；be anxious about对……担心，对……忧虑；be crazy about着迷于，酷爱；be concerned about关心，挂念。15．________to loud music for a long time can cause serious damage to the teenagers’ hearing.

　　A．Exposing

　　B．Exposed

　　C．Being exposed

　　D．Expose

　　答案　C　考查非谓语动词用法。句意：长期暴露于音量非常大的音乐之下会对青少年的听力造成严重的损伤。由句式分析可知，句子缺少主语，且expose与其相应的逻辑主语为被动关系，故要用动名词的被动形式作主语，而过去分词和动词原形均不可以在句中充当主语。II. 完形填空

　　III. 阅读理解

　　What picture do you have of the future？Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now？What do you hope about the future?

　　Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology.First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.By 2050，music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.

　　In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems.Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents.Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.

　　In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories.Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

　　Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.Today scientists have discovered how to control genes.They have already produced clones of animals.By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?
