2008届高考英语二轮专项复习单项选择题及详解  第十二套

1. ---Why do you suggest Gulin?
---I believe_____ beauty of ____ nature there will make _____ excellent impression upon the tourists.
A. a, the, an    B. the, the, an     C. the, /, the     D. the, /, an
选D。 the beauty of natural指“自然美景”， make an excellent impression upon sb.表示“给某人留下良好的印象”。
2. —Mum, is the pair of gloves       mine?
—Yes. You have to wear another pair.
A. washing          B. have washed
C. having washed    D. being washed
选D。根据答语，问语的中文意思为“妈妈，正在洗的那副手套是我的吗？”，用进行时的被动语态，作后置定语修饰“the pair of gloves”。
3.        you don’t like him is none of my business.
A. What    B. Who   C. That    D. Whether
选C。本句的谓语动词是is，前面是一个主语从句； “you don’t like him”是一个意思完整的句子，从句不需要任何有词义的连词引导，that只起连接作用，无词义，所以选C。
4. My brother is very tall. The little bed won’t    
for him.
A. prepare       B. match
C. fit           D. do
选D。本题主要考查动词的意义和用法的区别。do for sb. 意思是“适合……，对……有效。”
5. I like _____ when my parents are friendly to me.
A. it     B. that      C. these     D. them
  选A。it指代整个从句的内容。
6. — I didn’t do well in the exam. What about you?
— I did _____ you. Maybe even worse.
A. not better than       B. not worse than
C. as well as            D. no better than
选D。根据后面的答语Maybe (I did) even worse(than you).可以知道应该使用D。 no better than = as badly as
7. I read about this story in some book or other. Does it matter        it was?
A. where    B. what     C. how    D. which
选D。此句后面部分可以看作是does it matter which book it was 的省略。此题受母语干扰，很容易错选A。只要抓住题干前一句中 “I read about this story in some book of other”的提示，就可知道是指一定范围内的“哪一个”，故答案为D。
8. —Do you know where my blue coat is ?
 —Don’t bother to look for it. I’m sure it will     
some day.
A. turn out         B. turn on
C. turn up          D. turn over
选C。本题主要考查动词短语的意义区别。turn out 意义是“证明是；结果是”；turn on 意思是“转动；打开”；turn up 意思是“出现；到达”；turn over意思是“翻转过来”。根据句意，可知本题的正确答案选C。
9. Whether by accident or     , he arrived too late to help us.
A. purpose     B. aim
C. design      D. chance
选C。purpose常与介词on, for或with连用。aim at “针对”；by chance“偶然地”与by accident同义。by design“蓄意地，有意地”。题意为：不知道是碰巧还是故意的，他到的太晚了，没能帮我们。根据句子逻辑。
10. — Shall I go and buy two more bottles of beer?
— No, I’ve already bought twenty. That _____ be enough for us two.
A. can    B. may      C. ought to    D. might
选C。ought to表示“(按常理，根据一般道理，一般情况下)理应，应当”。
11. She looks quite young _____ her age.
A. at       B. by       C. for       D. to
选C。 for (表示关联)至于，就……而言。
12. Through English we will be able to communicate _____ part of the world we come from.
A. in which            B. even if
C. whatever            D. wherever
选C。whatever 作定语修饰part。
13. It is the first time that you have come to China, _____?
A. haven’t you            B. isn’t it
C. hasn’t it              D. aren’t you
选B。本题考查反意疑问句。根据主句It is…来确定做题。
14. He went there, _____ some books and call on an old friend of his.
A. bought    B. buying    C. buy    D. to buy
选D。and call on暗示与前面的形式必须一致。而He went there暗示去的目的，所以用不定式作目的状语，与（to）call on并列。
15. The country life he was used to _____ greatly since the opening policy.
A. change              B. has changed
C. changing            D. having changed
选B。The country life 是定语从句的先行词，同时也是句子的主语。而he was used to是定语从句，省略了关系代词that/which。
16. He had promised me to come to the party, and _____.
A. so did he            B. so he did
C. so he would          D. so would he
选B。so he did意思是“确实，正是”。表示对前句内容的肯定。
17. — He hasn’t finished the work yet.
— Well, he _____.
A. ought               B. ought to
C. ought to have       D. ought to have finished
选C。 to后不定式的动词be，have或have been通常不省略。
18. — You must obey every word of mine!
— _____ I don’t?
A. How if             B. What if
C. Such as            D. Only if
选B。What if…？如果……怎么办？要是……会怎样呢？

  — How on earth do you know I went to a film? I _____ you.
  A. won’t tell        B. didn’t tell       
C. haven’t told      D. hadn’t told
  选B。从问句中可以知道是发生在昨天晚上的事情，所以我不知道的动作也应该是在当时发生。做这类试题可以在句子的相关部分填加一定的时间状语。本题可以加上at that time。
20. Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo _____ another term in office, _____ her closest rival（对手）, film star Fernando Poe Junior.
  A. won; beating      B. got; winning     
C. got; won          D. won; beat
 选A。win后面经常接a victory/prize/ award, etc.本题中指赢得下一轮执政权。用beat表示击败对手。用doing作状语。
