Unit 2　Cloning Ⅰ.单项填空 1．Be ________—you can’t expect me to finish all this work in so little time. (2012·山东，33) A．reasonable B．confident C．creative D．grateful 答案　A 解析　reasonable合理的；公平的；confident自信的；creative有创造力的，创造(性)的；grateful感激的。由破折号后面的关键信息可知说话者对“finish all this work in so little time”很不满，要求讲道理。be reasonable为祈使语气，意为“要讲道理”。句意为：要讲道理——你不能期望我在如此短的时间里完成所有这些工作。 2．________volleyball is her main focus，she’s also great at basketball. (2011·北京，29) A．Since B．OnceC．Unless D．While 答案　D 解析　句意为：虽然排球是她的主要核心项目，但是她篮球打得也很棒。根据句意可知，这里表示让步关系。while虽然，符合句意。since既然；once一旦；unless除非。 3．We have our bad times but on the whole we’re ________ happy. A．rarely B．merelyC．fairly D．chiefly 答案　C 解析　考查副词辨析。句意为：我们处境艰难，但是总体来说我们相当高兴。根据本句中的转折连词but可知应用fairly，表示“相当，颇”。A项表示“很少”；B项表示“仅仅”；D项表示“主要”，都不符合句意。 4．It makes his life quite different________he has received higher education abroad. A．that B．which C．what D．how 答案　A 解析　考查主语从句。it作形式主语，that引导的从句作真正的主语。 5．Things in the world differ________each other in countless ways. A．with B．inC．from D．by 答案　C 解析　考查固定搭配。differ from与……不同。句意为：在很多方面，世界上的东西都有着差异。 6．This group of designers________a plan for the project of the company. A．drew up B．sent up C．set up D．turned up 答案　A 解析　考查动词短语辨析。draw up草拟，写出。句意为：设计小组为公司的那项工程起草了计划。send up 发射；set up树立，创立；turn up调大，现身。 7．Britain________many other industrialized countries，________major changes over the last 100 years. A．together with；have experienced B．as well as；have experienced C．in common with；has experienced D．instead of；has experienced 答案　C 解析　考查主谓一致。in common with意为“和……一样”，谓语动词单复数跟前面的主语保持一直。句意为：与其他工业化国家一样，英国在过去100年里经历了重大的变化。A、B两项第一空together with，as well as意思及用法与in common with类似，均错在第二空；D项instead of“而不是”，不合句意。 8．I________it to my teacher that I was admitted into my ideal university.
