Ⅲ.单项填空
1．(xxxx年菏泽高二检测)Internethashadastrong________onourlives.
A．difference B．defense
C．confidence&n
bsp;D．influence
解析：选D。句意：因特网对我们的生活有着巨大影响。difference区别；defense保卫；confidence自信，都不符合题意。
2．(xxxx年濮阳高二检测)—Iamterriblysorry.Ishouldn’thavelostmytemper.
—You________atmebutthat’sOK.
A．doshoutB．haveshouted
C．isshoutingD．didshout
解析：选D。本题考查谓语动词的强调形式。根据语境第二个人想表达“你刚才确实冲我喊了，不过没关系”，didshout是shouted的一种强调形式。
3．(xxxx年高考安徽卷)Chinahasgotagood________forfightingagainstthefluwithitscarefulandsmoothorganization.
A．reputationB．influence
C．impressionD．knowledge
解析：选A。reputation意为名誉，名声，符合题意。句意：在与流感抗争的过程中，中国严谨有序的组织赢得了很高的声誉。influence影响，作用；impression印象；knowledge知识。
4．(xxxx年高考湖南卷)—Thefoodhereisniceenough.
—Myfriend________mearightplace.
A．introducesB．introduced
C．hadintroducedD．wasintroducing
解析：选B。句意为：——这里的食物不错。——我的朋友介绍给我一个合适的地方。introduce这一动作发生在此次对话之前，故用一般过去时。
5．(xxxx年潍坊高二调研)—Willyoube________thisafternoon,Samuel?
—Itdepends.I’mafraidI’llwatchNBA.
A．suitableB．convenient
C．accurateD．available
解析：选D。句意为：——Samuel，你今天下午有没有空？——视情况而定，我恐怕要看NBA。available“可用的；空闲的”；suitable“适合的”；convenient“便利的；不远的”。convenient用来指“事”，不用来修饰“人”，故其主语通常不是表示“人”的名词或代词。如果表达“如果你方便的话，在你方便的时候”时，要用if/when/wheneveritisconvenientto/foryou。
6．Thefatheraswellashisthreechildren________skatingonthefrozenrivereverySundayafternooninwinter.
A．isgoingB．go
C．goesD．aregoing
解析：选C。本题考查主谓一致。由时间状语everySundayafternoon可判断应用一般现在时，所以排除A、D。在AaswellasB＋v.结构中谓语动词与A一致。Thefather是单数，所以选goes。与aswellas有相似用法的词还有including，togetherwith，alongwith，except，besides等。
7．Teachersoftenuseillustrationsto________languagepointsthatare________thestudents.
A．handle；puzzledB．express；puzzling
C．clarify；puzzlingD．conclude；puzzled
解析：选C。clarify意为“使更清晰易懂”，puzzling意为“令人迷惑的”，符合句意。handle处理，应付；express表达；conclude结束，断定；puzzled感到迷惑的。
8．(xxxx年浙江宁波高二检测)When________，themuseumwillbeopentothepublicnextyear.
A．completedB．completing
C．tobecompletedD．itcompleted
解析：选A。考查状语从句的省略。complete与themuseum之间为动宾关系，completed前省略了itis。
9．Asfortheaccident，heonlytoldusthemainfacts，________mostofthedetails.
A．puttingoutB．takingout
C．bringingoutD．leavingout
解析：选D。leaveout省略；putout伸出，生产，扑灭；takeout拿出；bringout出版；阐明。
10．Wehaveworkedtogetherinharmonyformanyyears,andIfindit________withthem.
A．worthyofworkingB．uselesstowork
C．worthyworkingD．worthwhileworking
解析：选D。此题考查“find＋n．/pron.＋形容词”句型。句意为：我们多年来合作愉快，我发现与他们合作很值得。it是find的形式宾语，worthwhile是宾语补足语，workingwiththem是真正的宾语。www.
