2008届高考英语二轮专项复习单项选择题及详解 第四套

1. —Your name again, please?       .
 —It’s Bell Green.
A. I didn’t quite catch you
B. I couldn’t quite catch you
C. I don’t hear you
D. It’s your name
选A。让对方重复其姓名，是因为没有听清(表示事实)。catch此处意为“听清”。B项是干扰项，说话人要表述的是“刚才没有听清”，而不是“不能听清”。
2. He        the job well, but he     so careless.
A. had done;  had been
B. could do;  was
C. could have done;  was  
D. hadn’t done;  had been
选C。答题的关键在于抓住句中的but，but后面的句子是对过去事实的陈述，应用一般过去时；前面的句子则表示“本来能够……”，是对过去事情的推断，因此应用could have done，句意为“他本来能够做好那工作，但他太粗心了。”
3. In my opinion, what he told us just now about the affair simply doesn’t make any      .
A. idea        B. meaning
C. sense       D. point
选C。make sense是习语，意为“有道理”、“意义清楚”。
4. —      is the best football player in your city?
   —Jerry.
A. Do you think who
B. Do you think whom
C. Who do you think
D. Whom do you think
选C。本题主要部分为who is the best football player in your city，插入语为do you think.
5. —Shall I sit at this end of the boat or the other end?
  —If you keep still, you can sit at      end.
  A. neither   B. each   C. either  D. any
选C。either 表示二者选一；each表二者或二者以上的每一个；neither表示两者都不，也不；any 表示任何一个。
6. It’s really hot       January in Harbin now. Better take off your coat.
A. in   B. during   C. for    D. to
选C。for在此表示“对……来说”。若用in，则指哈尔滨一月的，这与事实不符。
7. —What were you doing when I phoned you last night?
  —I      my painting and was starting to take a bath.
A. have already finished   B. was finishing
C. had just finished       D. was going to finish
选C。由“我要洗澡”可知昨天你打电话时“我刚刚画完”，“画完”在“打电话前”之前，即过去的过去，故用过去完成。
8. The UN should      the establishment of Iraqi government after the war, I think.
  A. take part in   
  B. play a leading role in
C. play a role among
D. play a important part for
选B。本句表示的意思应该是：联合国应该在伊拉克政府重建上起领导作用。play a role in为固定搭配意为“在……中起作用。”
9. He arrived here at noon,      in the day, and he went out and came back      in the day.
A. late; late      B. late; later
C. later; late      D. later; later
选C。later 为副词，意为“后来”，come back late “回来晚了”。
10. It is strongly suggested that measures     
students to cheat in the exams.
A. be taken to prevent
B. be taken to forbid
C. are taken to prevent
D. are taken to forbid
选B。suggest当“建议”讲，从句应使用虚拟语气；should + 动词原形或把should 省略，由此排除C、D两项；prevent 的用法是prevent sb. from doing sth. 而forbid的用法是forbid sb. to do sth.
11. —Mary told me she would      computer studies.
   —Really? I’ll try my best to ask her to     such foolish ideas.
A. pick up; give up     B. put away; give up
C. give up; put away   D. give up; pick up
选C。give up 放弃(某些行动)；put away放弃(某些相法；观点；认识等)
12. —How wise of you to come round, but why?
—       that all is right.
A. See      B. To see   
C. Seeing    D. For seeing
选B。单从答语上看，很难确定哪个是正确答案。若用“补全法”，联系问句，在头脑中补上省去的部分，便可知孰对孰错。问句中与答语有直接联系的部分是“but why”，它的完整意思是 “…but why have you come round”，其完整答语应是 “I’ve come round to see that all is right”。答语中省去了主、谓部分，只保留了作目的状语的不定式。由此可知正确选项是B。
13. —What should we pay more attention to if we go north in winter, Mum?
—Nothing much. Take warm clothes    
   the weather is cold.
A. as long as      B. now that
C. if             D. in case
选D。本题主要考查连接词的意义及对句子间的意义、关系的理解。as long as 意思是“只要”，表示条件；now that 意思是“既然；由于”，表示原因；if意思是“如果”，表示条件；in care意思是“以防，万一；免得”，表示条件。根据句子间的意义及关系可知本题的正确答案选D。
14. The media can often help solve problems and draw attention        situations       help is needed.
A. in; that       B. to; which
C. in; where      D. to; where
选D。draw attention to 是固定词组，to作介词，后接名词、代词或动名词。where在这里引导一个地点状语从句。
15. —I’m thinking of losing weight these days.
—Oh, you        be out of your mind. You’re 50 kilograms at the most!
A. will    B. should    C. may    D. must
选D。本题考查情态动词的用法。由下句 “you’re 50 kilograms at the most”可以推断出来，由此可知，“你还减肥，你肯定是(must be)疯了。”
16. I didn’t like the story,       , it’s too long, also it was written by a writer I don’t know
A. for one thing     B. for a thing
C. although         D. in one hand
选A。for one thing意为“一则”，其后接第一个原因，接下来的also意为“而且，再则”，其后接第二个原因。其中also也可以用for another (thing)来替代。
17. I am in      charge of the class which was in    
  charge of my wife.

18. After the new technique was introduced the factory produced      cars in 1994 as the year before.
A. as twice many     B. as many twice
C. twice as many     D. twice as
选C。倍数表达式：A+ be+倍数+ as +adj. / adv. (原级)+as +B。又如：The book is ten times as thick as that one。
19. There were two boys in the lab,       did the experiment successfully.
  A. the clever of whom  
B. the cleverer or whom
  C. the clever of them
  D. the more clever of them
选B。“the + 形容词比较级+of+名词复数”表示“两者中较…的一个”；此处关系代词whom指代the two boys.
20. I think I was at school,       I was staying with a friend during the vacation when I heard the news.
A. even so        B. and then
C. so that         D. or else
选D。or else 用作连词，意为“否则；不然”，其余各项与语境相悖。
