综合检测(二)
1.B 考查冠词用法。第一空泛指“一件礼物”,第二空特指“橱窗里的那条领带”,用定冠词。
2.C 考查非谓语动词。imagine后面跟v.-ing形式作宾语。
3.D 考查with的复合结构。由语境可以知道,工作是还没有完成的,所以用“with+名词+to do”表示将来。句意:有那么多工作还没有完成,就别指望什么假期了,我们必须集中精力去完成。
4.A 考查so that引导的结果状语从句。 句意:这两个人低声谈着话,所以没有人听到他们说的是什么。
5.C 考查副词释义。由前一句“近年来,食品和服装的费用上升了”和后一句“燃油价格也上升了很多”可以知道,前后两句说明的情况是一样的,所以选择C,similarly“同样地”。

10.A 考查词义辨析。be strict with sb.对某人要求严格,符合题意。be patient with sb.对某人有耐心;be busy with忙于;be careful with小心照顾。句意:我妈妈对我要求很严格,她几乎让我把所有的时间都用在学习上。
11.A 考查词义辨析。reduce减少、降低,符合题意。prevent预防;avoid避免;replace替代。句意:在大雾的天气里,为了安全起见,司机必须把速度降低到每小时20英里。
12.C 考查固定搭配。have trouble (in)doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”。句意:我的口语很差,所以和母语为英语的人交谈起来很困难。
13.B 考查短语释义。句意:他假装不认识她,而事实上,他们很多年以前就见过面的。by the way顺便;what's more而且,另外;in other words换句话说,此三项均不符合句意。

【参考范文】 Dear_Mary,
I_was_glad_to_receive_your_letter._I_would_like_to_tell_you_something_about_my_new_teachers. I'm so fortunate to have two new teachers this semester. My new English teacher, Daniel, who is a handsome gentleman, impresses me most. Although he has just graduated from university, his wide knowledge and humorous language attract me so much that I'm always eager to have his class. Miss Wang is the maths teacher and she is helpful, patient and strict with us. She also has a good sense of humor, which makes her class very interesting. With these new teachers, I firmly believe that I can make rapid progress.
