语法精析精练
考点提示：
1. 单项填空中动词时态和语态是考查重点。考查的时态就是考试大纲要求的八种常用时态：一般现在时，一般过去时，一般将来时，现在进行时，过去进行时，现在完成时，过去完成时，过去将来时。
2. 短文改错中主要考查一般现在时和一般过去时。
一、动词时态的判断思路
1. 英语句子中作谓语的动词因动词动作发生或情况存在的时间不同，会有不同的动词构成形式，即时态。故在确定动词时态时，关键的是确定动词动作或情况发生的时间。时间可划分为现在、过去和将来，由此将动词时态分成现在时间时态、过去时间时态及将来时间时态，具体划分如下：
2. 判断动词的时态时，先确定句中的动词动作或情况发生的时间，根据时间确定是用现在时间时态、过去时间时态还是将来时间时态，再根据各相应时间时态的基本用法，判断句子动词符合哪一时态的用法，最终确定该动词的正确时态。
3. 根据动词动作发生或存在的情况，也可分成一般体（表示某时发生的动作或存在的情况）、进行体（表示动词动作在某时正在进行或在某段时间一直进行）、完成体（表示动词动作或情况发生在某时以前）和完成进行体（是完成体与进行体的结合，表示动词动作一直持续到某时且还在进行）。
二、几组易混时态的区别
1. 一般过去时与现在完成时
一般过去时强调动词动作或情况发生在过去某时或某段时间，是可以具体确定的，纯属过去，与现在无关。
现在完成时表示的动词动作或情况发生在不能具体确定的过去某时或某段时间。它表示的事情与现在有关系，故此时态属现在时间时态。
2. 一般过去时与过去进行时
一般过去时只强调动词动作发生的时间或情况存在的时间是在过去某时或某段时间。
过去进行时强调动词动作在过去某时刻正在进行中或在过去某段时间内一直进行着。
3. 一般过去时与过去完成时
一般过去时是对现在说话时刻而言的，动词动作或情况发生在过去某时候。
过去完成时是相对于过去某个时候而言，动词动作或情况发生在过去某时候之前，表示的时间是“过去的过去”。注意：句子中一般有该动词与之相对应的过去某时间。
三、被动语态须注意的几个方面
1. 熟记常用时态的被动语态构成形式，分清某些时态的主动语态和被动语态形式。注意被动语态的动词都是过去分词形式。
2. get + 过去分词相当于被动结构，如：Let’s ask the policeman for help， or we may get lost.
3. 易错用被动语态的情况
1） 系动词feel，look，smell，taste，sound，prove等不用被动语态。
2） happen，occur，take place，break out，last是不及物动词，不用被动语态。
3） 动词read，write，sell，wash，open，shut，lock，cut，wear，cook等表示主语具有的性质、特征时，常与well，easily等修饰语连用，这时动词不用被动语态。
4） 及物动词cost，fit，have，wish或及物动词短语arrive at/in，take part in，belong to等，不用被动语态。

第二部分 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
When asked to speak at the Community Book Club Luncheon， I thought about several topics that might be of interest to a group of readers， and I considered doing a book review or discussing the life of a well-known literary figure， but I thought I would break with tradition in order to share some anecdotes from the life of a man， who， like you， enjoyed reading. In spite of the fact that Thomas Alva Edison had almost no formal education， spending only three months in school， his mother taught him to read at quite an early age. Between the ages of nine and twelve， he read such difficult books as Humes’ History of England， Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire， and Newton’s Principle.
As a young man， Mr Edison decided to read all of the books in the Detroit public library， systematically shelf by shelf. After finishing the first fifteen feet， he decided to reconsider the task.
A few years later， in Cincinnati， his love for reading almost cost him his life， and he stayed at the library until very late. Mr Edison started home with a pile of old magazines for which he had paid the large sum of two dollars. Doubting that he might be a thief， a policeman ordered him to stop. But Mr Edison was too deaf to hear the order. The policeman shot， and missed.
In addition to the electric light， Thomas Edison is known for inventing the photograph， microphone， mimeograph（油印机）， electric storage battery， and photographic film. Whenever he was paid for an invention， he used the money for his two loves—more experiments and more books.
A friend described Edison’s life in those busy days. “I went to visit Tom，” he said. “And I found him sitting behind a pile of books five feet high which he had ordered from New York， London， and Paris. He studied them night and day， eating at his desk and sleeping in his chair. In six weeks he had read all of the books and had performed more than two thousand experiments by using the formulas that he had studied.”
36. What is the main topic of this talk？
A. The electric lamp.
B. The Community Club.
C. Great books of the Western world.
D. Thomas Alva Edison’s love for books.
37. The reason why the speaker chose to talk about Thomas Edison is that ___ .
A. Thomas Edison was a famous man
B. Thomas Edison was a well-known literary figure
C. Thomas Edison liked to read very much
D. he chose to review a book about Thomas Edison
38. From the passage about Edison we can infer that ___ .
A. he received most of his education from reading
B. he never attended school
C. he learned to read as a young man
D. he read only science and technology books
B
In recent years， lots of people have been drinking and driving， causing the number of deaths because of drunk driving to increase sharply. They show a total disregard for the law， and they don’t care about it. Thankfully， there are people on the road who do， like Larry Johnson， who was recently recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving （MADD） Barrie/Simcoe for following a drunk driver and reporting to the police. Johnson was just driving out last October when he noticed someone in a car driving erratically. “It was 1：30 pm and I was heading into the town to get some dog food，” said Johnson. “This car came flying by the stop sign like a rocket. I thought if it was a teen， this was bad. So I called 911.” Following the car in his green pickup truck， Johnson watched as it drove up to County Road 90 and pulled into a ditch when it turned right. Then heading towards Barrie， the car kept driving in the grass for another 30 meters before it righted itself back onto the road. “I slowed down behind it to keep a safe distance，” said Johnson.
At Ferndale Drive， the car sped past the traffic light pole at the crossing， and kept heading along Dunlop Street towards Highway 400 north. At this point， Johnson had been following the car for about 20 minutes， and wondered where the police were. Finally， he heard the sirens（警笛）and saw an unmarked truck coming towards him on the highway.
“The truck forced the car to park by the roadside and I pulled up behind the car. The officer spoke with the driver， and then walked to me. He was a plain-clothes（便衣）police officer and told me that I had saved a little kid’s life. There was a three-year-old kid in the back seat.” said Johnson.
This spring， Johnson was given the MADD Community Hero award for going so far to save lives. “If I didn’t follow the driver and something unfortunate happened， I would have wondered how I could live with myself. I’ve learned how to do first aid and I thought if the car did turn over， at least I’d be able to help.”

Scientists have discovered more details about how plants use water. Their findings could help to engineer plants that grow better and more effectively in conditions with higher levels of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. The carbon dioxide enters the plants through tiny holes or pores（气孔）on the surface of leaves. However， each time a plant takes in one molecule（分子）of carbon dioxide gas， it loses hundreds of water molecules. Scientists say plants lose ninety-five percent of the water they take in through these pores. Some plants’ pores can tighten to save water during conditions of high carbon dioxide. Other plants are not able to do this as well. Now， scientists know how these tiny pores tighten in plants.
Julian Schroeder， a professor of biology at the University of California， says that carbon dioxide levels in the air are much higher now than they were in the past. However， he says， many plants are not closing their pores in order to hold in more water. He and his team have discovered proteins that control the tightening of a plant’s pores. The findings were published last month in Nature Cell Biology. Mr Schroeder believes the materials could be changed in some plants to increase their ability to store water.
The researchers found out that for every molecule of carbon dioxide taken in by the plants， they lost forty-four percent less water. They say this suggests that changing plants to save more water will not stop plant growth. This method might be used to help engineer food crops especially when the climate is dry. The discovery could help farmers meet a growing demand for food as water supplies decrease. However， the scientists say more research is needed.
42. The new discovery has been found because of the fact that ___ .
A. farmers’ growing demand for food should be satisfied
B. when a plant takes in one molecule of carbon dioxide gas， it loses hundreds of water molecules
C. changing plants to save more water will not affect plant growth
D. carbon dioxide increases while water supplies decrease
43. According to what Professor Julian Schroeder and his team suggest， which is TRUE？
A. The findings were published last year.
B. The plants lost fifty-four percent less water for every molecule.
C. Many plants are not closing their pores in order to hold in more water.
D. Changing plants to save more water will stop plant growth.
44. We can know from the passage that ___ . A. it is a long way to go before the method is put into practice
B. this method must be used to help engineer food crops
C. no plants’ pores can tighten to save water
D. this method could not help farmers meet a growing demand for food
45. What might be the best title for the text？
A. New Understanding of How Plants Use Water
B. Details About How Plants Use Water
C. Helping Engineer Food Crops
D. Julian Schroeder and His Team

语法精析精练
考点提示：
1. 单项填空中动词时态和语态是考查重点。考查的时态就是考试大纲要求的八种常用时态：一般现在时，一般过去时，一般将来时，现在进行时，过去进行时，现在完成时，过去完成时，过去将来时。
2. 短文改错中主要考查一般现在时和一般过去时。
一、动词时态的判断思路
1. 英语句子中作谓语的动词因动词动作发生或情况存在的时间不同，会有不同的动词构成形式，即时态。故在确定动词时态时，关键的是确定动词动作或情况发生的时间。时间可划分为现在、过去和将来，由此将动词时态分成现在时间时态、过去时间时态及将来时间时态，具体划分如下：
2. 判断动词的时态时，先确定句中的动词动作或情况发生的时间，根据时间确定是用现在时间时态、过去时间时态还是将来时间时态，再根据各相应时间时态的基本用法，判断句子动词符合哪一时态的用法，最终确定该动词的正确时态。
3. 根据动词动作发生或存在的情况，也可分成一般体（表示某时发生的动作或存在的情况）、进行体（表示动词动作在某时正在进行或在某段时间一直进行）、完成体（表示动词动作或情况发生在某时以前）和完成进行体（是完成体与进行体的结合，表示动词动作一直持续到某时且还在进行）。
二、几组易混时态的区别
1. 一般过去时与现在完成时
一般过去时强调动词动作或情况发生在过去某时或某段时间，是可以具体确定的，纯属过去，与现在无关。
现在完成时表示的动词动作或情况发生在不能具体确定的过去某时或某段时间。它表示的事情与现在有关系，故此时态属现在时间时态。
2. 一般过去时与过去进行时
一般过去时只强调动词动作发生的时间或情况存在的时间是在过去某时或某段时间。
过去进行时强调动词动作在过去某时刻正在进行中或在过去某段时间内一直进行着。
3. 一般过去时与过去完成时
一般过去时是对现在说话时刻而言的，动词动作或情况发生在过去某时候。
过去完成时是相对于过去某个时候而言，动词动作或情况发生在过去某时候之前，表示的时间是“过去的过去”。注意：句子中一般有该动词与之相对应的过去某时间。
三、被动语态须注意的几个方面
1. 熟记常用时态的被动语态构成形式，分清某些时态的主动语态和被动语态形式。注意被动语态的动词都是过去分词形式。
2. get + 过去分词相当于被动结构，如：Let’s ask the policeman for help， or we may get lost.
3. 易错用被动语态的情况
1） 系动词feel，look，smell，taste，sound，prove等不用被动语态。
2） happen，occur，take place，break out，last是不及物动词，不用被动语态。
3） 动词read，write，sell，wash，open，shut，lock，cut，wear，cook等表示主语具有的性质、特征时，常与well，easily等修饰语连用，这时动词不用被动语态。
4） 及物动词cost，fit，have，wish或及物动词短语arrive at/in，take part in，belong to等，不用被动语态。

A
When asked to speak at the Community Book Club Luncheon， I thought about several topics that might be of interest to a group of readers， and I considered doing a book review or discussing the life of a well-known literary figure， but I thought I would break with tradition in order to share some anecdotes from the life of a man， who， like you， enjoyed reading. In spite of the fact that Thomas Alva Edison had almost no formal education， spending only three months in school， his mother taught him to read at quite an early age. Between the ages of nine and twelve， he read such difficult books as Humes’ History of England， Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire， and Newton’s Principle.
As a young man， Mr Edison decided to read all of the books in the Detroit public library， systematically shelf by shelf. After finishing the first fifteen feet， he decided to reconsider the task.
A few years later， in Cincinnati， his love for reading almost cost him his life， and he stayed at the library until very late. Mr Edison started home with a pile of old magazines for which he had paid the large sum of two dollars. Doubting that he might be a thief， a policeman ordered him to stop. But Mr Edison was too deaf to hear the order. The policeman shot， and missed.
In addition to the electric light， Thomas Edison is known for inventing the photograph， microphone， mimeograph（油印机）， electric storage battery， and photographic film. Whenever he was paid for an invention， he used the money for his two loves—more experiments and more books.
A friend described Edison’s life in those busy days. “I went to visit Tom，” he said. “And I found him sitting behind a pile of books five feet high which he had ordered from New York， London， and Paris. He studied them night and day， eating at his desk and sleeping in his chair. In six weeks he had read all of the books and had performed more than two thousand experiments by using the formulas that he had studied.”
36. What is the main topic of this talk？
A. The electric lamp.
B. The Community Club.
C. Great books of the Western world.
D. Thomas Alva Edison’s love for books.
37. The reason why the speaker chose to talk about Thomas Edison is that ___ .
A. Thomas Edison was a famous man
B. Thomas Edison was a well-known literary figure
C. Thomas Edison liked to read very much
D. he chose to review a book about Thomas Edison
38. From the passage about Edison we can infer that ___ .
A. he received most of his education from reading
B. he never attended school
C. he learned to read as a young man
D. he read only science and technology books
B
In recent years， lots of people have been drinking and driving， causing the number of deaths because of drunk driving to increase sharply. They show a total disregard for the law， and they don’t care about it. Thankfully， there are people on the road who do， like Larry Johnson， who was recently recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving （MADD） Barrie/Simcoe for following a drunk driver and reporting to the police. Johnson was just driving out last October when he noticed someone in a car driving erratically. “It was 1：30 pm and I was heading into the town to get some dog food，” said Johnson. “This car came flying by the stop sign like a rocket. I thought if it was a teen， this was bad. So I called 911.” Following the car in his green pickup truck， Johnson watched as it drove up to County Road 90 and pulled into a ditch when it turned right. Then heading towards Barrie， the car kept driving in the grass for another 30 meters before it righted itself back onto the road. “I slowed down behind it to keep a safe distance，” said Johnson.
At Ferndale Drive， the car sped past the traffic light pole at the crossing， and kept heading along Dunlop Street towards Highway 400 north. At this point， Johnson had been following the car for about 20 minutes， and wondered where the police were. Finally， he heard the sirens（警笛）and saw an unmarked truck coming towards him on the highway.
“The truck forced the car to park by the roadside and I pulled up behind the car. The officer spoke with the driver， and then walked to me. He was a plain-clothes（便衣）police officer and told me that I had saved a little kid’s life. There was a three-year-old kid in the back seat.” said Johnson.
This spring， Johnson was given the MADD Community Hero award for going so far to save lives. “If I didn’t follow the driver and something unfortunate happened， I would have wondered how I could live with myself. I’ve learned how to do first aid and I thought if the car did turn over， at least I’d be able to help.”
39. When a mother is on MADD， her work is to ___ .
A. discover drunk drivers anywhere possible
B. follow the drunk driver and report to the police
C. help stop any drunk driving she notices
D. watch for all the drunk drivers around
40. What does the underlined word “erratically” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？
A. Irregularly. B. Carefully.
C. Slowly. D. Safely.
41. Which of the following shows us the correct order of the events？
a. A plain-clothes police officer spoke to Johnson.
b. The drunk driver was found.
c. Johnson was recognized by MADD.
d. The drunk driver was forced to stop the car.
e. Johnson was driving to the town for dog food.
f. Johnson called 911.
A. e， b， f， d， a， c. B. e， c， f， d， a， b.
C. c， b， e， a， d， f. D. c， a， b， f， d， e. C
Scientists have discovered more details about how plants use water. Their findings could help to engineer plants that grow better and more effectively in conditions with higher levels of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. The carbon dioxide enters the plants through tiny holes or pores（气孔）on the surface of leaves. However， each time a plant takes in one molecule（分子）of carbon dioxide gas， it loses hundreds of water molecules. Scientists say plants lose ninety-five percent of the water they take in through these pores. Some plants’ pores can tighten to save water during conditions of high carbon dioxide. Other plants are not able to do this as well. Now， scientists know how these tiny pores tighten in plants.
Julian Schroeder， a professor of biology at the University of California， says that carbon dioxide levels in the air are much higher now than they were in the past. However， he says， many plants are not closing their pores in order to hold in more water. He and his team have discovered proteins that control the tightening of a plant’s pores. The findings were published last month in Nature Cell Biology. Mr Schroeder believes the materials could be changed in some plants to increase their ability to store water.
The researchers found out that for every molecule of carbon dioxide taken in by the plants， they lost forty-four percent less water. They say this suggests that changing plants to save more water will not stop plant growth. This method might be used to help engineer food crops especially when the climate is dry. The discovery could help farmers meet a growing demand for food as water supplies decrease. However， the scientists say more research is needed.
42. The new discovery has been found because of the fact that ___ .
A. farmers’ growing demand for food should be satisfied
B. when a plant takes in one molecule of carbon dioxide gas， it loses hundreds of water molecules
C. changing plants to save more water will not affect plant growth
D. carbon dioxide increases while water supplies decrease
43. According to what Professor Julian Schroeder and his team suggest， which is TRUE？
A. The findings were published last year.
B. The plants lost fifty-four percent less water for every molecule.
C. Many plants are not closing their pores in order to hold in more water.
D. Changing plants to save more water will stop plant growth.
44. We can know from the passage that ___ . A. it is a long way to go before the method is put into practice
B. this method must be used to help engineer food crops
C. no plants’ pores can tighten to save water
D. this method could not help farmers meet a growing demand for food
45. What might be the best title for the text？
A. New Understanding of How Plants Use Water
B. Details About How Plants Use Water
C. Helping Engineer Food Crops
D. Julian Schroeder and His Team
