此处强调主语成分“Her success in the Alevel exam this year.”，相当于问句中的what。
2．—You should have thanked her before you left.—I meant________.But when I was leaving I couldn’t find her anywhere.A．to do B．toC．doing D．doing so答案 B解析本句中的meant意思是“本来打算”其后应该使用不定式。
当与want，wish，hope，like，hate，try，have，ought，used，need，be able，be going，be glad，mean等连用时， to代替不定式结构以避免重复。
3．I________the hobby of fishing as a child.A．built up B．set upC．kept up D．took up答案 D解析考查动词短语辨析。
build up意为“树立，逐步建立”；set up意为“树立(榜样)；创立；建立”；keep up意为“坚持；继续；使不低落”； take up意为“从事；开始做，学着做”。
4．The poet and________pianist is going to give us a talk this afternoon.A．a B．theC．/ D．an答案 C解析当and并列的是同一事物、同一人或同一概念时，其后面的名词前不用冠词。
若在pianist前加the，则是指the poet和the pianist两个人，而题目中的the poet and pianist是指一个人，即这个人既是诗人又是钢琴家。
5．—Hold the ladder for me!—That’s________.A．all B．itC．all right D．right答案 B解析本题易错选A或C。
That’s all意思是“就这些”，表示讲话或文章的结束；而That’s all right意思是“行；可以；没关系”。
That’s it为固定搭配，意思是“这正是所需要的”。
That’s right意思是“对，正确”。
6．I think whoever makes________contributions to the company than the others should get________income.A．greater；a highestB．more greater；a higherC．greater；the highestD．more greater；the higher答案 C解析more不可修饰比较级，排除B和D两项。
greater...than the others是用比较级形式表示最高级意义，后面也用最高级，且最高级前要用定冠词the。
7．It is thought that one billion people in the world，________is half the world’s workers，earn their living by farming.A．if B．thatC．which D．what答案 B解析句中“half the world’s workers”是对“one billion people in the world”的补充说明，“that is”是“that is to say”的省略说法，是插入语，that并不是引导非限制性定语从句的，如果在“that is”后加个逗号则更清楚，应选B。
8．—Your name again，p lease.________.—It’s Bell Green.A．I didn’t quite catch youB．I couldn’t quite catch youC．I don’t hear youD．It’s your name答案 A解析让对方重复其姓名，是因为没有听清(表示事实)。
catch此处意为“听清”。
B 项是干扰项，说话人要表述的是“刚才没有听清”，而不是“不能听清”。
9．He________the job well，but he________so careless.A．had done；had beenB．could do；wasC．could have done；wasD．hadn’t done；had been答案 C解析句意为：他本来能够做好那工作，但他太粗心了。
答题的关键在于抓住句中的but ，but后面的句子是对过去事实的陈述，应用一般过去时；前面的句子则表示“本来能够……”，是对过去事情的推断，因此应用could have done。
10．In my opinion，what he told us just now about the affair simply doesn’t make any________.A．idea B．meaningC．sense D．point答案 C解析make sense意为“有道理；意义清楚”。
11．—________is the best football player in your city?—Jerry.A．Do you think whoB．Do you think whomC．Who do you thinkD．Whom do you think答案 C解析本题主要部分为Who is the best football player in your city？，do you think 为插入语。
12．—Shall I sit at this end of the boat or the other end?—If you keep still，you can sit at________end.A．neither B．eachC．either D．any答案 C解析either表示二者选一；each表二者或二者以上中的每一个；neither表示两者都不，也不；any表示任何一个。
13．It’s really hot________January in Harbin now.Better take off your coat.A．in B．duringC．for D．to答案 C解析for在此表示“对……来说”。
若用in，则指在哈尔滨的一月，这与事实不符。
14．—What were you doing when I phoned you last night?—I________my painting and was starting to take a bath.A．have already finishedB．was finishingC．had just finishedD．was going to finish答案 C解析由“我要洗澡”可知昨天你打电话时“我刚刚画完”，“打电话”是过去发生的事，而“画完”在“打电话”之前，即过去的过去，故用过去完成时。
15．The UN should________the establishment of Iraqi government after the war，I think.A．take part inB．play a leading role inC．play a role amongD．play an important part for答案 B解析句意为：我认为联合国应该在伊拉克政府战后重建上起领导作用。

Ⅱ.阅读理解AThe Powermat Wireless Charging System for iPhone 1XA claims to wirelessly charge your iPhone in three，easy steps—plug in the Powermat，place the receiver case onto your iPhone，set your iPhone on the mat and let it charge away.In theory，it’s a good idea.No more looking around for your Apple charger，just drop your iPhone on the mat and walk away while it juices up your battery.But to be perfectly honest，there’s no difference，or any more convenience，to just using a plug socket charger.Firstly，it claims to be wireless，but you still have to find a socket to plug Powermat into.And，as it turns out，you can’t just “drop” your iPhone on to it to charge.You have to put your device(装备) into the receiver case，which connects the P owermat with your phone so it can charge.But I had two problems with that.Firstly，the receiver is a bit stiff and took a few seconds to pull apa rt and then put on my iPhone.And this would be a process you would have to go through every time you want to use the Powermat because the receiver is too big and heavy to permanently keep on your phone.And if you have acase for your iPhone，this has to be remove d first as it won’t fit inside the receiver.Secondly，by the time you’ve remembered where you plugged the Powermat in，seized the receiver in order to put your iPhone inside it and then placed it on the mat，it probably would have taken less time to connect your device to the Apple plug it came with.So where’s the convenience?It_would_suit_someone_who_works_at_home_and_only_uses_their_iPhone_there，but_the_likelihood_of_that_is_very_slim.Powermat should also consider bringing out a batterypowered mat too，for extra convenience and to make it mobile and properly wireless.1．What is the main idea of the text?A．Powermat is a great ide a in theory and practice.B．People meet problems in making use of Powermat.C．Powermat is quite suitable for people working at home.D．Powermat is not as convenient as it claims to be.答案 D解析主旨大意题。
