一、单项填空
1．According to recent reports，one of the rare animals，______ crocodile，will be in danger of dying out in ______ 2020s.
A．a；/ B．the；the
C．the；/ D．/；the
解析：考查冠词。第一个空定冠词the用于单数可数名词前，表示类别；第二个空the用于“年号”的复数或所有格前表示年代，如：in the 1990s或in the 1990’s表示“20世纪”。
答案：B
2．Is there a supermarket around ______ I can buy a pair of new shoes?
A．that B．which
C．where D．what
解析：考查定语从句。around是副词表示“附近”，where(＝in which)引导定语从句修饰supermarket。此题易错选which，是在超市里面买鞋，而不是在超市的周围，故不选which。句意：这附近有我能买双新鞋的超市吗？
答案：C
3．The old man is not equal to ______ care of himself.
A．take B．taking
C．took D．taken
解析：be equal to此处表示“胜任”，其结构中的to是介词，后跟名词或动名词。句意：那位老人不能照顾自己。

答案：C
7．I wonder if John has forgotten my number.I______him to call me for the past two hours.
A．was expecting B．have expected
C．have been expecting D．expected
解析：考查动词时态。由时间状语“for the past two hours”可以看出应用完成时，由第一句话可知，应用进行时，所以用现在完成进行时，表示我期待他给我打电话这个动作从过去某时开始，一直延续到说话时还在继续进行，有可能还继续下去。
答案：C
8．As is known to us all，anyone who drives after drinking alcohol______be punished.
A．can B．shall

11．______ we sympathize with Lehman Brothers Holdings who has gone bankrupt，we can’t really do very much to help them out of the difficulties，especially when the US economy has slowed down.
A．As long as B．As
C．While D．Even
解析：考查状语从句中连接词的选择。句意：虽然我们对已经倒闭的雷曼兄弟公司表示同情，然而我们无法帮助他们摆脱困境，尤其是在美国经济已经放缓的时候。根据语境，应用while“虽然”引导让步状语从句。as常引导原因状语从句；as long as“只要”引导条件状语从句；when“当……的时候”。
答案：C
12．Three boy students from Chang Jiang University，for______ lives were priceless，died for saving the two drowning children in Chang Jiang River.
A．whom B．who
C．whose D．which
解析：考查定语从句关系代词的选用。whom代替先行词three students，在从句中作介词for的宾语。句意：来自长江大学的三名男生，对他们来说生命是无价的，为救两个落水的少年献出了自己宝贵的生命。
答案：A
