21.Hewantstosee________muchstrongerChinawithin________restofhislife.

A./;aB.a;/

C.the;aD.a;the

答案　D

解析　本题考查冠词。句意为：他想在有生之年看到一个更加强大的中国。amuchstrongerChina指一个更加强大的中国;therest固定用法，表示剩下的人(物)，应用the。

22.—$100，butthatismylastoffer.

—________

A.Goodidea!B.Whatdidyousay?

C.Oh，it’suptoyou!D.OK，it’sadeal.

答案　D

23.Hardly________whenthefloodpeakarrived.

A.theyhadlefttheirvillage

B.theylefttheirvillage

A.isarisenB.increased

C.hasbeenrisingD.hasraised

答案　B

解析　考查介词短语辨析。butfor要不是，如果没有;regardlessof不顾，不管;apartfrom远离，除……之外，且不说;insteadof代替，作为……的替换。根据句意应选B项。

26.Thereisa________cuponthetable.

A.nicenewbigplasticB.newplasticbignice

C.nicebignewplasticD.newniceplasticbig

答案　C

解析　多个形容词修饰同一名词时，其排列顺序通常如下：限定词(包括冠词、所有格、人称代词、指示代词、数词等)+观点词(品质、状态，即表示好、坏、美、丑等的词)+形状或样式词+大小或长短词+年龄或新旧词+颜色词+产地或来源词+材料或种类词+用途词+名词。故该题选C项。

27.—Didyourememberthedays________westudiedintheuniversity?

—Certainly.Especiallythehardtimes________wespenttogether.

A.which;whenB.when;which

C.when;whenD.which;which

答案　B

解析　考查定语从句。第一个空从句中的study为不及物动词，不缺少宾语故用when引导定语从句修饰先行词days;第二个空spend是及物动词且缺少宾语故用which引导定语从句。

28.Whatdoyouthinkofthesuggestion________weorganizeafootballclub?

A.whichB.whether

C.thatD.what

解析　考查名词性从句的引导词。that引导的是同位语从句，解释说明suggestion的内容。that引导同位语从句时，从句中不缺少主语或宾语。

29.Calculations，whichareastronomicallyexact，havebeenmade________withtheuseofcomputers.

A.possibleB.itpossible

A.hadn’tB.didn’thavehad

C.hadn’thadD.hadn’thave

A.beinginvited;allowed

B.areinvited;are

allowed

C.invited;isallowed

D.invited;areallowed

答案　C

32.Hedidn’t________whatIreadbecausehismindwasonsomethingelse.

A.holdonB.catchon

C.takeinD.getover

答案　C

解析　takein(=understand)理解;holdon(打电话时)不要挂断;catchon明白(作不及物动词用);getover克服。根据语境应选C项。

B.Itcanshowtheobjecthasarangeoffunctions.

72.Theunderlinedword“fulfil”inParagraph3means“________”.

B.ithasalongerhistorythanmanyotherartobjects

D.itisanartformwhichraisesconcernabouttheenvironment

答案　C

解析　推理判断题。由最后一段可知，汽车最初是模仿马车设计的，但是发展到今天，其设计既满足了实用的要求也满足了美观的要求。比如，上个世纪八、九十年代的流线形设计既能减少风的阻力，又符合韵律感的艺术审美标准。现如今的汽车将安全性、环保理念融入到设计中，同时又时尚美观。由此推断，作者认为汽车总是能根据时代的需求做出相应的改变，对应本段主旨。

75.Whatisthebesttitleforthetext?

A.FormFollowsFunction

B.LifeIsArt，ArtIsLife

C.ArtinEverydayLife

D.TheBestWorkofArt

答案　C

解析　标题归纳题。文章第一句就讲“艺术在我们的生活中无处不在。”接下来，从人类为什么总在美化自己制造的每一件物品、美化的要点论述这个主题，并以现代家具和汽车为例证，因此推断文章标题为“艺术存在于日常生活之中”。
