　　6．He said that if we made any more noise he'd ________ the police.

　　A．complain

　　答案：B　句意：他說(shuō)如果我們?cè)倥鲈胍簦拖蚓焱对V。complain是不及物動(dòng)詞，所以要與介詞搭配才能接賓語(yǔ)，complain to sb.“向某人投訴，抱怨”；complain about sth.“抱怨某事”；complain of“訴說(shuō)(病痛等)”。

　　7．________ that he was right, we all supported him.

　　D．a(chǎn)gainst

　　答案：C　oppose doing“反對(duì)，反抗”；accuse sb. of sth.“指控某人某事”；object to sth.“反對(duì)”；against是介詞，不能作謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，如表“反對(duì)”的意思需用be against。故選C。

　　10．As soon as we got there, we ________ repairing the machine.

　　A．began to

　　B．started to

　　C．decided to

　　D．got down to

　　答案：D　A、B、C中的to都是不定式符號(hào)所以后均接動(dòng)詞原形作賓語(yǔ)，而get down to中to為介詞，后接動(dòng)名詞或名詞作賓語(yǔ)，意為“開(kāi)始、著手做某事”，符合句意，故答案為D。

　　11．________ of being involved in the attempted murder, she was questioned by the police.

　　A．Convinced

　　B．Suspected

　　C．Charged

　　D．Confirmed

　　答案：B　句意：她被懷疑和這次蓄意謀殺有關(guān)，所以受到了警察的審問(wèn)。后半句提到警察對(duì)她審問(wèn)，由此可知只是“懷疑”。convince“信服”；如果把C項(xiàng)理解為“控告”，句中的of要改為with；confirm“證實(shí)”。

　　12．We ________ his idea for a music club, and decided to have an art club instead.

　　A．a(chǎn)ccepted

　　B．disagreed

　　C．rejected

　　D．a(chǎn)greed

　　答案：C　句意：我們拒絕了他想成立一個(gè)音樂(lè)俱樂(lè)部的主意，而是決定建立一個(gè)藝術(shù)俱樂(lè)部。根據(jù)句尾的instead可知是“拒絕”，所以選C。

　　13．(2011·吉林實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)高三模擬)________ arriving at the spot, the police get down to ________ photos.

　　A．As; take

　　B．As; taking

　　C．On; take

　　D．On; taking

　　答案：D　句意：警察一到達(dá)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)就開(kāi)始拍照。句中的on是介詞，表示“一……就……，在……后立即”；get down to表示“開(kāi)始認(rèn)真做某事”，其中的to是介詞。

　　14．(2011·河北正定中學(xué)高三月考)—Did ________ get through the text?

　　—No, ________. A few failed.

　　A．everybody; not all

　　B．everybody; none

　　C．a(chǎn)nybody; not all

　　D．a(chǎn)nybody; no one

　　答案：A　問(wèn)話者詢問(wèn)的是是否每個(gè)人都通過(guò)了測(cè)試，所以用everybody；結(jié)合答語(yǔ)中的No和答語(yǔ)的后一句可知并非所有的人都通過(guò)了測(cè)試，因此用not all表示不完全否定。

　　15．His appearance is not ________ to whether he is a good leader.

　　A．involved

　　B．relevant

　　C．proper

　　D．similar

　　答案：B　relevant意為“與……相關(guān)”。

　　Ⅴ.閱讀理解

　　(2024·全國(guó)Ⅱ，A)

　　Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.

　　Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.

　　If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet's water. Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
