2012年北京海淀區(qū)高三一模英語試題解析(2)

　　32. Although the Eiffel Tower ______ to last for 20 years, it is still standing today.

　　A. has designed B. had designed C. is designed D. was designed

　　答案：D

　　時態(tài)語態(tài)題。design的動作應(yīng)該是被動，所以排除主動的A選項和B選項。design的動作發(fā)生在過去，所以排除C選項純現(xiàn)在。切記，選項中出現(xiàn)主被動區(qū)別，首先甄別主被動。

　　33. Shooting, as ______ means of survival originally, developed into ______ sport only in the late 19th century.

　　A. a; a B. the; the C. a; the D. the; a

　　答案：A

　　冠詞題。只要中文對應(yīng)出現(xiàn)“一個、一種”這類的概念，一定要用不定冠詞a/an。此題原句來自于2008年廣東卷高考真題的基礎(chǔ)寫作范文。

　　34. ______ the housing price, several measures have been adopted in the last two years.

　　A. Lowering B. Having lowered C. To lower D. To have lowered

　　答案：C

　　非謂語動詞題。空格挖在句首，后面有逗號，要關(guān)注逗號后面的句子中主語名詞和動詞的主被動關(guān)系。此處后面的名詞是measures措施，和降低的關(guān)系是主動的，而這里四個選項都是主動的。再看四個選項的區(qū)別，A選項和B選項表示已經(jīng)發(fā)生，C選項和D選項則表示未發(fā)生的目的，后面只說到采取了一些措施，沒有措施最后的結(jié)果，即沒有發(fā)生，所以排除A選項和B選項。D選項出現(xiàn)have，非謂語動詞中只要有have出現(xiàn)，一定表示動作的先后關(guān)系，有have的動作在前，主句動作在后，這里明顯降低房價不能在采取措施之前，所以排除D選項。

　　比較以下的句子：Having lowered the housing price, the measures have been proved effective. 請自己理解為什么這里是having lowered。

　　35. In my point of view, the question is not ______ the world is going to have a new economic crisis, but when.

　　A. that B. how C. what D. whether

　　答案：D

　　句子和連詞題。主句是不完整的句子，從句中不缺事物，所以排除C選項what。既然提到question，也不能是確定的陳述句，應(yīng)該有不確定因素，所以排除A選項that。剩下B選項how表示方式，與后面的but when又不能形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以答案為D選項whether。問題不在于是否會發(fā)生經(jīng)濟危機，而是什么時候發(fā)生。通過轉(zhuǎn)折強調(diào)說話者認定經(jīng)濟危機一定會再次發(fā)生。

　　完形填空

　　When you’re a preteen, a huge problem might be that you just have to have a new rock-rap CD, ______ (36) your parents won’t give you the money for it. I thought life was so ______ (37) when things like this happened – until September 11, 2001.

　　36

　　A. but

　　B. so

　　C. or

　　D. for

　　答案：A

　　連詞題。前面是我想要，后面是不給錢買，當然是轉(zhuǎn)折but。

　　37

　　A. unbelievable

　　B. uncomfortable

　　C. unfair

　　D. uncertain

　　答案：C

　　形容詞題。描述life，后面說到當這樣的事情發(fā)生，即前文中想買不給錢買的事情，所以應(yīng)該是負態(tài)度詞，排除A正態(tài)度和D中性詞。B不愉快的意思用于描述人，描述物的意思為不舒適的，所以選擇C。

　　I was in P. E. when the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As soon as I got home and for weeks after, I saw the disaster ______ (38) on TV. Seeing the innocent people running for their ______ (39) as the debris (瓦礫) started coming down the fire and smoke rose out of the ______ (40) brought tears to my eyes.
