10、计划，其目的是减少塑料浪费。这是一个非限定性定语从句，先行词是plan，从句中缺少定语，所以用关系代词whose修饰名词purpose。如果使用of which，则需要在名词前加定冠词。故选A。【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词plan，再分析先行词plan在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词plan带到从句中可知，只能作定语，修饰名词purpose。2.This news of UFOs was immediately _ due to lack of hard evidence.A. appli

11、edB. assumedC. dismissedD. discouraged【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：由于缺乏确凿的证据，这条关于不明飞行物的消息立即被驳回了。A. applied应用；B. assumed假定； C. dismissed解雇，驳回；D. discouraged使气馁。根据空后due to lack of hard evidence可知，此处指“消息被驳回”。故选C。3.Its her _ of time to medical research that helped Tu Youyou win the Nobel Prize.A. supplyB. r

13、atedD. will have graduated【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查动词时态。句意：到Mike从军队退役的时候，他的儿子将已经从大学毕业了。根据句意可知，本句是在说一件将来的事情，而从句谓语retires是一般现在时态，根据状语从句表将来时，主将从现的原则，所以主句要用一般将来时。而当有by the time这样的时间状语时，句子一般用完成时态，所以本句应该使用将来完成时态：will have done。故选D。5.Attention, please! The participants (参会者) seated at the back of the assembly hall,

14、keep quiet, _?A. do youB. arent theyC. will youD. dont they【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查反意疑问句。句意：请注意！坐在大会堂后面的参会者，保持安静，好吗？本句是一个祈使句keep quiet，这类祈使句一般用will you和wont you做反意问句。故选C。6.Young people all over the world can _ Yang Liwei as an example of a man who managed to live his dream.A. look out forB. look back onC. lo

15、ok down uponD. look up to【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：世界各地的年轻人都可以把杨利伟作为一个成功实现梦想的人的榜样去仰慕。A. look out for留神，提防；B. look back on回忆；C. look down upon瞧不起是；D. look up to仰慕。根据Yang Liwei as an example of a man who managed to live his dream.可知，此处指“把杨利伟作为一个成功实现梦想的人的榜样去仰慕”。故选D。7.Hi, Colin. Why do you look so excite

16、d?Well, my brother Toby together with me _ to Morocco at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon.A. will flyB. will be flyingC. is flyingD. has been flying【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查动词时态。句意：嗨，Colin。为什么你这么兴奋？哦，我和我的哥哥Toby明天下午四点将正在乘飞机飞往Morocco。根据时间状语at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon.可知，此处表示将来正在进行的动作，所以用将来进行时：will/shall be doing。故选B。8._

17、Toms being guilty, his mother forgave what he did.A. Convinced ofB. Being convincedC. Convinced thatD. Convincing of【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：相信汤姆是愧疚的，他母亲原谅了他所做的。固定短语：be convinced of“相信；对深信不疑”。由于在句子中作状语，与主语有逻辑上的主谓关系，说的是his mother was convinced of Toms being guilty，所以就用过去分词短语作状语。B选项没有of，无法接后边的宾语；C项that

18、后要接句子；D项现在分词convincing不符合逻辑。故选A。9.Could I _ the table with four seats near the window?Terribly sorry, but it has already been taken.A. preserveB. reserveC. observeD. deserve【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我可预订靠窗子有四个座位的桌子吗？非常抱歉，那张桌子已经预订出去了。A. preserve保护；B. reserve预订；C. observe观察；D. deserve应得。根据the table wit

So it was with Jim【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查固定句式。句意：Tony没有通过考试，害怕被父母责骂。Jim也是。这是一句既含有肯定又含有否定意思的句子。并且助动词还不同。这样的句子在表示前面复杂的情况也适合另外的sb.，一般都使用So

20、 it is/was with这种表达。故选D。【点睛】sobe/助动词/情态动词另外的主语，表示前面肯定的情况也适合另外的主语，如：HelikesEnglish,andsodoesmybrother.而Neither/norbe/助动词/情态动词另外的主语，表示前面否定的事实也适合另外的主语，如：Hedidntpasstheexam.NordidI.但是前文叙述的情况较复杂时，谓语动词既有肯定又有否定或既有be动词，又有实义动词时，常用soitis/waswithsb.表示前面复杂的情况也适合另外的人。如：Healwaysworkedveryhard,buthedidntpasstheexa

21、m.Soitwaswithmysister.HeisgoodatEnglishbutdoesntdowellinChinese.Soitiswithmybrother.第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My mom spreads joy wherever she goes.
