Units 3～5 (时间：45分钟　满分：60分) Ⅰ.单项填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 1．Nobody could ________ it when the bull broke into the shop and attacked two customers with its horns.The other just hurried away from it.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 A．make B．help C．aid D．assist 答案　B　[考查动词的用法。can/could(not)help it“ (不)能防止或避免某事物” 。此处相当于can/could(not)prevent or avoid sth，又如：Can I help it if people dont read the instructions？人们不看使用说明，我又有什么办法？] 2．The two presidents agree with each other on the whole，but much remains ________ at the following meeting. A．discussing B．discussed C．to discuss D．to be discussed 答案　D　[remain 是连系动词，相当于be动词，该句的主语much与discuss存在着被动关系，且由后面的“at the following meeting”知道该动作是将要发生的，故选D。] 3．—I dropped into your house at about ten last night，but you werent in. —I ________ a long report for my boss in the office. A．prepared B．was preparing C．had prepared D．have been preparing 答案　B　[考查动词时态。上句的语境是关键：“at about ten last night”，即昨晚十点时说话人正在办公室为老板准备一份报告材料，所以用过去进行时。] 4．At first he refused to admit he had stolen，but when he was shown the videotape(录像带)he ________and admitted everything. A．broke up B．broke away C．broke down D．broke in 答案　C　[考查动词短语的辨析。break down 意为“(健康，精神)跨下来”；break up 意为“分散；拆散”；break away意为“脱离、摆脱”；break in 意为“中断、破门而入”。] 5．This kind of shoes made by experienced shoe-makers________comfortably. A．is worn B. wears C．are worn D．wear 答案　B　[考查动词的特殊用法。made by experienced shoe-makers为定语修饰句子的主语kind of shoes，故谓语应该用单数；wear 在此作不及物动词，用主动形式表示被动的含义，通常用物作主语且与well，comfortably等副词连用。] 6．—You are going to have a rise this month，arent you? —Yes，only $100. —Well，________. A．the more，the better B．easier said than done C．better than never D．better than nothing 答案　D　[A项意为“ 越多越好” ；B项意为“ 说起来容易做起来难” ；D项表示“ 有总比没有要强” ；由原句可知是把$100与nothing进行比较，因此C项不对。故答案为D。] 7．The police have ________ proof that it was he who set fire to the storehouse. A．absolute B．steady C．actual D．diverse 答案　A　[absolute proof指“ 确凿的证据” ，符合句意。steady“ 稳固的” ；actual“ 实际的” ；diverse
