A．was to blame B．was to be blamed
C．were to be blamed D．were to blame
解析：选A。句意：根据司机的解释，事故的发生应该归咎于不良的路况而不是他的粗心。be to blame for表示“应该为……负责”。

A．contributed to B．turned to
C．belonged to D．referred to
解析：选A。句意：公司所制作的一系列的广告大大促成了这一新产品在市场方面的成功。contribute to...是“促成……；有助于……”；符合语境。turn to...是“转向……”；belong to是“属于……”；refer to...是“查阅，提到，涉及……”。
3．________ English，he has a good command of Russian and French.
A．Apart from B．Beside
C．With D．Far from
解析：选A。apart from 是“除了……之外”之意，相当于besides，符合题意。
4．I have read the material several times but it doesn’t make any ________ to me.
A meaning B．importance
C．sense D．significance
解析：选C。句意：我已经读了几遍这段材料，但怎么也理解不了。make sense 是“有意义；讲得通”之意。
5．I told him he would succeed ________ he tried hard.
A．only if B．if only
C．even if D．as if
解析：选A。only if 引导条件状语从句，表示“只有……， 才……”之意；符合语境。if only 是“要是……就好了”，多用于引导虚拟语气从句。even if即使；as if好像，均不符合句意。
6．The trees ________in the storm have been moved off the road.
A．being blown down B．blown down
C．blowing down D．to blow down
解析：选B。句意：在暴风雨中被吹倒的那些树已经被从道路上清除掉了。考查了过去分词短语作后置定语修饰the trees的用法，表示被动和完成。
7．We finished the run in less than half the time ________.
A．allowing B．to allow
C．allowed D．allows
解析：选C。句意：我们完成了跑步，用时不到所要求时间的一半。分析句子结构可知，所填词用作后置定语修饰half the time，从意义上看，此处表示被动，指被允许的时间，所以用过去分词。
8．—Can those ________at the back of the classroom hear me?
—No problem.
A．seat B．sit
C．seated D．sat
解析：选C。句意：“——坐在教室后面的人能听清我说话吗？——没问题”。seat是及物动词，意为“使……就座，坐下”，后接sb.或oneself作宾语，故其修饰名词，充当其定语时应该用其过去分词形式，表示被动含义。sit是不及物动词，其过去分词只表示完成，不能表示被动。句中空格处应作定语修饰those，充当其定语，所以只有seated正确，相当于定语从句who are seated，若用sit则应改为sitting。
9．It is one of the funniest things ________on the Internet so far this year.
A．finding B．being found
C．to find D．found
解析：选D。句意：这是到今年为止网络上发现的最有趣的事情之一。things和find之间是动宾关系，故此处应该用found做后置定语，修饰things，表示被动和完成。
10．“Bill，keep the things ________here secret.”said the manager after the meeting.
A．discussed B．being discussed
C．to be discussed D．having been discussed
解析：选A。句意：“比尔，对于我们在这里讨论的一切要保密”，经理会后说。由题干语境after the meeting可知，此处应该用动词的过去分词discussed作后置定语，修饰the things，表示被动和完成。
Ⅳ.完形填空
When I first entered university，my aunt，who is an English professor，gave me a new English dictionary.I was __1__to see that it was an English-English dictionary，also known as a monolingual dictionary.__2__it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners，none of my classmates had one __3__，to be honest，I found it extremely __4__ to use at first.I would look up words in the dictionary and __5__ not fully understand the meaning.I was used to the __6__ bilingual dictionaries，in which the words are __7__ both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt __8__ to make things so difficult for me.Now，after studying English at university for three years，I __9__ that monolingual dictionaries are __10__ in learning a foreign language.
As I found out，there is __11__ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two __12__ in two language.My aunt even goes so far as to __13__ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __14__ meaning of a word in English! __15__，she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary __16__ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.__17__，I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) __18__ number of words，around 2,000，in its definitions.When I read these definitions，I am __19__ exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.__20__ this，I can express myself more easily in English.
1．A.worried B．sad
C．surprised D．nervous
解析：选C。通读全文可知，作者是一个中国大学生，中国人学英语，尤其是初学者习惯使用英汉词典。当作者看到英英词典的时候，他感到“吃惊”。
2．A.Because B．Although
C．Unless D．If
解析：选B。前后两句在意义上是让步关系，所以用although引导让步状语从句。而A项because引导原因状语从句；unless和if引导条件状语从句。
3．A.but B．so
C．or D．and
解析：选A。此空格处是一个并列连词，连接前后两句。而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系，所以用but。
4．A.difficult B．interesting
C．ambiguous D．practical
解析：选A。最初用英英词典，不习惯，所以作者感觉用起来“很难difficult”。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根据下文not fully understand the meaning不可能是这个答案；ambiguous是“不明确的”；practical是“实用的”，这两个词也不符合语境。
5．A.thus B．even
C．still D．again
解析：选C。句子中有否定词not，有副词fully，所以用still，表示“仍然不能够完全”的意思。
6．A.new B．familiar
C．earlier D．ordinary
解析：选B。be used to 表示“习惯……，对作者来说习惯了双语词典，或者说是英汉词典。这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉。
7．A.explained B．expressed
C．described D．created
解析：选A。此句是一个in which引导的定语从句，其中words是主语，根据常识在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的，所以用explained。
8．A.offered B．agreed
C．decided D．happened
解析：选C。我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我。其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式，但是在这里意思都不恰当。
9．A.imagine B．recommend
C．predict D．understand
解析：选D。过去不理解，经过一段时间后，“明白了understand”；imagine是“想象”的意思；recommend是“推荐”的意思；predict是“预测”的意思。
10．A.natural B．better
C．easier D．convenient
解析：选B。此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较，A和D项没用比较级，better强调更好，更实用，而easier则不可能。
11．A.at best B．in fact
C．at times D．in case
解析：选B。常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应。in fact表示“实际上，事实上”。at best是“至多；充其量”；at times是“有时”；in case是“万一，以防”，显然A、C、D项不合语境。
12．A.words B．names
C．ideas D．characters
解析：选A。词典上重点的内容应该是单词。
13．A.hope B．declare
C．doubt D．tell
解析：选B。我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。
14．A.exact B．basic
C．translated D．expected
解析：选A。前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English对应，所表明还是对应不准确的问题，所以用exact。
15．A.Rather B．However
C．Therefore D．Instead
解析：选C。此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一种“因果”关系，所以用therefore。
16．A.when B．before
C．until D．while
解析：选A。表示“当……时候”，用when引导时间状语从句。而before通常指“在……之前”；until指“直到……时候”；while指“在……的同时”。
17．A.Largely B．Generally
C．Gradually D．Probably
解析：选C。该句的谓语have come to see是表示“变化过程”，所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。
18．A.extra B．average
C．total D．limited
解析：选D。从后面的around 2000可知词典中用于解释词义的词限制在2000左右。
19．A.repeatedly B．nearly
C．immediately D．anxiously
解析：选A。在有限的范围内，查阅阅读释义的话，就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”。
20．A.According to B．In relation to
C．In addition to D．Because of
解析：选D。后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English.表达的是结果，此处表达的应该是原因，说明使用这种词典所带来的好处。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
In her works Agatha Christie created two great characters.Hercule Poirot is a Belgian detective who appeared in 33 of Agatha Christie’s novels.He is best-known for his moustache.Poirot thinks logically and likes order.He examines the crime scene in detail and claims that every crime can be solved.
David Suchet as Hercule Poirot
As time went on Agatha Christie became tired of her Belgian detective and wanted to get rid of him.But he was very popular among her readers.When he died in “Curtain” in 1978 he became the only fictional character to get an obituary(讣告) in the New York Times.
Agatha Christie’s other well-known character was Miss.Marple，an old woman who wants to be an amateur(业余的) detective.She likes knitting，walking around the neighbourhood and she observes things very carefully.She became famous for solving cases where the police failed.In contrast to Hercule Poirot，Christie was very fond of Miss.Marple.
Almost all of Agatha Christie’s novels are detective novels.They focus on English people of the middle and upper classes.
Usually the detective comes across a murder scene by chance or is called by a friend who may be involved.He or she questions the suspects，examines the crime scene carefully and gives the reader clues so that they may have a chance to solve the crime themselves.In the course of the story one，or even a few，of the suspects usually die.
Finally the detective gets all the suspects together and gives away information that not everyone knows，until the real murderer is revealed.
In some of Agatha Christie’s stories the murderer escapes justice；sometimes they get killed.Twice the murderer turns out to be the narrator(叙述者) of the story.

A．Hercule Poirot is a Belgian detective writer who wrote many detective novels.
B．People can recognize him by his famous moustache.
C．Agatha Christie’s readers are very fond of the character Hercule Poirot.
D．He，as a character of Agatha Christie’s，died in 1978 in the screen.

2．Which of the following is TRUE about the plots of Christie’s novels?
A．Nearly all of Agatha Christie’s novels are science fictions.
B．The readers may have a chance to solve the crime themselves.
C．In the course of the story usually all the suspects die.
D．The murderer escapes justice at times but they may be punished by law.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文中末段的“In some of Agatha Christie’s stories the murderer escapes justice；sometimes they get killed.”可知，谋杀者有时候会逃脱了法律有时候会受到法律的制裁。
3．The underlined word in the sixth paragraph probably means ________.
A．uncovered B．arrested
C．informed D．included
解析：选A。词意猜测题。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示“直到最后真正的谋杀者被揭露出来”。
4．What does the text mainly tell us?
A．The characters and the plots of Agatha Christie’s novels.
B．Miss.Marple and Hercule Poirot are famous characters in Agatha’s novels.
C．How is Agatha’s novels designed.
