21. Listen! Do you hear someone ________ for help? (2010湖南卷)

A. calling              B. call                    C. to call                D. called

【答案】A。

【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。

【解析】考查hear sb doing sth（听见某人在做某事）句式。注意，不能选B，因为hear sb do sth（听见某人做了某事）与句首的listen（该词表明动作正在进行）相悖。又如：I can hear someone knocking. 我好像听见有人在敲门。We heard them talking and laughing in the room. 我们听见他们在屋里说笑。

22. Father ________ goes to the gym with us although he dislikes going there. (2010湖南卷)

A. hardly               B. seldom              C. sometimes       D. never

【答案】C。

【考点】考查在特定语境中频度副词的用法。

【解析】对于考查特定语境中词语用法的考题，最好的方法是代入翻译法，即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句，哪个选项使原句最通顺，哪个选项就是最佳答案。比较四个选项，只有sometimes填入句中意思最通顺。句意为：虽然父亲不喜欢去体育馆，但他有时还是我们一起去。又如：When he had no money, the farmer sometimes used to pay me in kind. 那个农民没有现款时，有时候给我些东西抵账。

23. You ________ buy a gift, but you can if you want to. (2010湖南卷)

A. must                 B. mustn’t             C. have to             D. don’t have to

【答案】D。

【考点】考查情态动词的用法。

【解析】根据句中的but you can if you want to（但是如果你想买的话也可以买）可知，“买礼物”不是“必须的”，故选don’t have to（不必）。又如：I don’t have to go to the office on Sundays. 星期日我不必去办公室上班。

24. This coastal area ________ a national wildlife reserve last year. (2010湖南卷)

A. was named     B. named              C. is named          D. names

【答案】A。

【考点】考查动词的时态与语态。

【解析】由于this coastal area与name之间为被动关系，故可将答案锁定在A和C之间，再根据句中的last year可知，应选A。又如：She was named after her mother. 她是以她母亲的名字命名的。

25. John’s success has nothing to do with good luck. It is years of hard work ________ has made him what he is today. (2010湖南卷)

A. why                  B. when                C. which                D. that

【答案】D。

【考点】考查强调句型。

【解析】考查强调句型it is…that…的用法。句意为：约翰的成功与好的运气没有关系，是多年的努力工作才使他变成今天这个样子（成就了今天的事业）。注：判断一个句子是否是强调句型，可考虑将结构词it is…that…去掉，若句子仍完整、通顺，则为强调句，否则便不是。又如：It was not greed but ambition that drove him to crime. 驱使他犯罪的并非贪婪而是野心。

26. Dina, ________ for months to find a job as a waitress, finally took a position at a local advertising agency. (2010湖南卷)

A. struggling        B. struggled          C. having struggled       D. to struggle

【答案】C。

【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。

【解析】根据句意可知，struggle for months to find a job…在take a position at…之前，故要用现在分词的完成式，即选C。又如：Having compared the new dictionary with [to, and] the old one, he found the new one more helpful. 将新旧词典比较之后，他发现新词典更有用。

 27. I was just going to cut my rose bushes but someone ________ it. Was it you? (2010湖南卷)

A. has done         B. had done         C. would do          D. will do

【答案】B。

【考点】考查动词时态的用法。

【解析】根据句意可知，“有人给玫瑰剪枝”发生在“我去给玫瑰剪枝”之前，而“我去给玫瑰剪枝”用的是I was just going to cut my rose…这样的过去时态，故“有人给玫瑰剪枝”发生在这一过去时间之前，也就是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。

28. I’ve become good friends with several of the students in my school ________ I met in the English speech contest last year. (2010湖南卷)

A. who                  B. where               C. when                D. which

【答案】A(http://www.yygrammar.com/)。

【考点】考查定语从句的用法。

【解析】who在此引导定语从句，用以修饰先行词students。由于先行词指人，故要用关系代词who，不用which。句意为：我与几位去年在英语演讲比赛中结识的本校同学成了好朋友。

 

29. If he ________ my advice, he wouldn’t have lost his job. (2010湖南卷)

A. followed           B. should follow  C. had followed   D. would follow

【答案】C。

【考点】考查虚拟语气的用法。

【解析】根据句中的he wouldn’t have lost his job的时态形式可知，句子是对过去情况作假设，故选had followed。又如：If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have jumped down. 要不是我阻止了她，她就跳下去了。

30. So far nobody has claimed the money ________ in the library. (2010湖南卷)

A. discovered      B. to be discovered  C. discovering      D. having discovered

【答案】A。

【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。

【解析】由于money与discover之间为被动关系，故可将答案锁定在A和B之间；再根据句意可知，钱“已经”被发现，而不是“将要”被发现，故选A不选B。

31. I walked slowly through the market, where people ________ all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I studied the prices carefully and bought what I needed. (2010湖南卷)

A. sell                    B. were selling     C. had sold           D. have sold

【答案】B。

【考点】考查动词时态的用法。

【解析】根据句中的walked, studied, bought等可知，句子是在谈论过去的情况，故可排除A和D。再根据句意，联系“慢慢走过集市”“仔细研究价格”“买下需要的东西”等信息，说明当时人们是“正在”卖水果和蔬菜，故用过去进行时。

32. Tim is in good shape physically ________ he doesn’t get much exercise. (2010湖南卷)

A. if                        B. even though    C. unless              D. as long as

【答案】B。

【考点】考查状语从句的用法。

【解析】比较空格前后两句的意思，前面说“体形很好”，后面说“锻炼不多”，显然前后意思不一致，故应选even though（虽然）来协调两者的关系。句意为：提姆虽然锻炼不多，但他体形很好。又如：She never took a taxi, even though she could afford to. 尽管她坐得起出租车，但她从未坐过。

33. Listening to loud music at rock concerts ________ caused hearing loss in some teenagers. (2010湖南卷)

A. is                      B. are                     C. has                    D. have

【答案】C。

【考点】考查主谓一致。

【解析】由于句子的主语是Listening to loud music at rock concerts这一动名词短语，而不是该短语中的介词宾语rock concerts，故谓语要用单数，而不是用复数，即可排除B和D；又因为cause后面跟有宾语，说明它不能用被动语态，故选C不选A。

34. I’m tired out. I ________ all afternoon and I don’t seem to have finished anything. (2010湖南卷)

A. shopped          B. have shopped C. had shopped   D. have been shopping

【答案】D。

【考点】考查动词时态。

【解析】根据句中的am和don’t seem可知，句子谈的是现在的情况，故可排除过去时态A和C；又因为“很累”是因为“整个下午一直在购物”导致的，故用选D在意思上更与语境吻合。

35. Cindy shut the door heavily and burst into tears. No one in the office knew ________ she was so angry. (2010湖南卷)

A. where               B. whether            C. that                    D. why

【答案】D(http://ask.yygrammar.com/)。

【考点】考查宾语从句引导词的用法。

【解析】比较四个选项，只有填why句意最通顺。又如：I don’t know why, but I took a strong dislike to him as soon as I saw him. 也不知为什么，我一见到他就十分讨厌他。I don’t know why you waste your time on such trifles. 我不明白你为何在这一类鸡毛蒜皮的小事上浪费时间。
