Ⅲ.单项填空
1．Haven't you ________ down to your article yet?
A．goneB．come
C．taken
D．got
答案：D get down to sth.表示“开始/着手做……”；go down“倒下；落下”；come down“崩塌，坍塌”；take down“拆除，拆掉”。A、B、C三项均不符合题意，故选D。
2．This kind of fish can grow ________ 15 feet.
A．as high as
B．as long as
C．as far as
D．as low as
答案：B 句意：这种鱼能长到15英尺长。as long as“像……一样长，长达”，据句意选B。
3．Three students are ________ for the English competition.
A．chosen
B．selected
C．elected
D．picked
答案：B 句意：3位学生被选出参加英语竞赛。choose表示“一般的选择”；select “精选”，含有选出后其余被淘汰之意；elect强调“政治色彩的竞选”；pick强调“采摘”，据句意答案为B。
4．The thing that ________ is not whether you fail or not, but whether you try or not.
A．matters
B．cares
C．considers
D．minds
答案：A matter为不及物动词“有关系，要紧”。而care“关心”；consider“考虑，认为”；mind“介意”，均不合语境。
5．If people feel hopeless, they don't bother to ________ the skills they need to succeed.
A．adopt
B．acquire
C．accumulate D．assemble
答案：B 句意：人们若感到无望，就不会费心学习并获得成功需要的技能。由后面的need可推知此处应为一个表示“获得”的词。故答案为B。而adopt“采纳，收养”；accumulate“积累”；assemble“(人)集合，组装”，均不符合题意。
6．He said that if we made any more noise he'd ________ the police.
A．complain
B．complain to
C．complain about
D．complain of
答案：B 句意：他说如果我们再弄出噪音，他就向警察投诉。complain是不及物动词，所以要与介词搭配才能接宾语，complain to sb.“向某人投诉，抱怨”；complain about sth.“抱怨某事”；complain of“诉说(病痛等)”。
7．________ that he was right, we all supported him.
A．Convincing
B．Convinced
C．To convince
D．Having convinced
答案：B be convinced that...“相信……”，本句可转换成Because we were convinced that...；A、C、D三项均表示主动，不合语境。
8．Seeing the toy, the girl couldn't resist ________ to touch it.
A．reach out
B．to reach out
C．reaching out
D．being reached out
答案：C can't resist doing sth.“禁不住做某事”。句意：看见那玩具，小女孩忍不住伸出手去摸摸它。
9．They ________ building the new hotel because of the great cost.
A．objected
B．accused
C．opposed
D．against
答案：C oppose doing“反对，反抗”；accuse sb. of sth.“指控某人某事”；object to sth.“反对”；against是介词，不能作谓语动词，如表“反对”的意思需用be against。故选C。
10．As soon as we got there, we ________ repairing the machine.
A．began to
B．started to
C．decided to
D．got down to
答案：D A、B、C中的to都是不定式符号所以后均接动词原形作宾语，而get down to中to为介词，后接动名词或名词作宾语，意为“开始、着手做某事”，符合句意，故答案为D。
11．________ of being involved in the attempted murder, she was questioned by the police.
A．Convinced
B．Suspected
C．Charged
D．Confirmed
答案：B 句意：她被怀疑和这次蓄意谋杀有关，所以受到了警察的审问。后半句提到警察对她审问，由此可知只是“怀疑”。convince“信服”；如果把C项理解为“控告”，句中的of要改为with；confirm“证实”。
12．We ________ his idea for a music club, and decided to have an art club instead.
A．accepted
B．disagreed
C．rejected
D．agreed
答案：C 句意：我们拒绝了他想成立一个音乐俱乐部的主意，而是决定建立一个艺术俱乐部。根据句尾的instead可知是“拒绝”，所以选C。
13．(2011·吉林实验中学高三模拟)________ arriving at the spot, the police get down to ________ photos.
A．As; take
B．As; taking
C．On; take
D．On; taking
答案：D 句意：警察一到达现场就开始拍照。句中的on是介词，表示“一……就……，在……后立即”；get down to表示“开始认真做某事”，其中的to是介词。
14．(2011·河北正定中学高三月考)—Did ________ get through the text?
—No, ________. A few failed.
A．everybody; not all
B．everybody; none
C．anybody; not all
D．anybody; no one
答案：A 问话者询问的是是否每个人都通过了测试，所以用everybody；结合答语中的No和答语的后一句可知并非所有的人都通过了测试，因此用not all表示不完全否定。
15．His appearance is not ________ to whether he is a good leader.
A．involved
B．relevant
C．proper
D．similar
答案：B relevant意为“与……相关”。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2024·全国Ⅱ，A)
Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of nonfrozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet's water. Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
