1.【解析】选B。考查冠词用法。句意：在最近一次运动科学会议上，数百名与会者讨论了赤脚行走的好处。第一个空处填入不定冠词a, 表示数量“一”，而第二个空处填入the表示特指。
2.【解析】选D。考查介词用法。句意：你们最好不要在开会时讨论这个问题。你们可以喝茶时讨论。over在句中意为“在……期间，在(做)……时”。
3.【解析】选B。考查名词性从句。句意：似乎我们队此刻缺少的是赢得这场比赛的决心。题干中is之前的部分为主语从句，空白部分是主语从句中lack的宾语，故要用what。that在名词性从句中不充当成分，whether和if在句中表示“是否”。
4.【解析】选B。考查虚拟语气。句意：——詹妮未能再次就这个问题向李教授征求意见。——多么遗憾呢！要是她在李教授到国外出差之前到就好了。if only之后接从句，要用虚拟语气。从句子语境可知，谓语动词动作发生在过去，是对过去事实的虚拟，用过去完成时。
5.【解析】选A。考查动词时态。句意：——罗得里克昨天发生了意外。——怎么会这样呢？他过去开车一直很谨慎的。本句用一般过去时表示过去的习惯性动作。
6.【解析】选D。考查动词短语辨析。句意：——我听到了说话声，但是听不出他们在说什么。——为什么不走过去呢？那对你也没什么害处。leave out遗漏，忽略，不考虑，省去；bring out出版，使显现；
- 4 -
B. So what?
D. What for?
hold out 伸出，坚持，维持；make out 理解，分辨出，听出，认出。
7.【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。句意：——你怎么知道那么多乡下所发生的事情？——我在那儿有个朋友，他能让我了解这些事情。句中keep动词之后接宾语复合结构，其中inform与宾语之间为被动关系，用过去分词作宾语补足语，keep sb. informed使某人消息灵通。
8.【解析】选C。考查形容词辨析。句意：英国文学是一门选修课程，还是每个人都必须学呢？potential 潜在的，可能的；typical 典型的, 特有的；optional 可选择的； critical 批评的，爱挑剔的。故正确选项为C。
9.【解析】选B。考查倒装句用法。句意：我的历史老师从来不从网上商店买书，他的妻子也是如此。表示否定意义的前者情况适用于后者时，要用neither/nor +助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语。 A项错误在于neither已经表示否定，助动词不能再用否定式；B项中either可作副词，用于否定句中，故B项正确。C、D两项均为肯定句，与句子语境不符。
10.【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。句意：我看到他时，想不起他的名字。我站在那里，不知如何称呼他。choke窒息，哽咽；阻塞，说不出话来；escape在句中意为“被忘记，想不起”；fail失败，不及格；衰退；confuse 使混乱，使困惑。
11.【解析】选D。考查定语从句。句意：越来越多的有才华的年轻人被吸引到这所著名的大学，他们希望在这里自身得到多方面的发展。本句中的先行词为university, 被其后的定语从句所修饰。其中where在非限定性定语从句中充当句子的地点状语。其他选项不符合句意。
12.【解析】选A。考查非谓语动词。句意：ipad 2被认为非常有用，也非常时尚，它非常受一些青少年的喜爱。consider与ipad 2之间为被动关系，相当于非限制性定语从句which is considered to be most useful and fashionable； to be considered作定语时，表示将来的动作，与句子语境不符。故正确选项为A。
13.【解析】选A。考查介词短语辨析。句意：大部分男子不会在公共场合哭，但是有时当他们身边没有别人时他们会哭。in public公开地，当众地；on purpose故意地；by accident意外地；in peace和平的，安详的。与后半句sometimes cry when they are alone相对照，选A项正确。
14.【解析】选D。考查状语从句连词用法。句意：网上在线信息会对你的找房非常有益，但是直到你亲眼看到这房子，你才能说出是否喜欢这个地方。not. . . until. . . 直到……才……，与句意相符。 15.【解析】选B。考查情景交际。句意：——据说她的哥哥很聪明。——那又怎么样？即使他主动提供帮助，她也不会接受的。no wonder难怪，不足为怪；so what那又怎么样？no doubt毫不怀疑；what for为什么？有何目的？
