湖北省十堰市2016高考英语单项选择和阅读能力练习（13） Ⅰ.单项填空
1．—Have you ______？
—No.I had the wrong number.
A．got in
C．got off B．got away D．got through
解析 考查动词短语的区别。get in“插话，收割”；get away“离开；走开”；get off“下车”；get through“接通电话，完成，到达，通过”，由此可知该题的答案为D项，意思是“你打通电话了吗？”
答案 D
2．So far nobody has claimed the money______in the library.
A．discovered
C．discovering B．to be discovered D．having discovered
解析 考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：迄今为止，没有人认领在图书馆里发现的钱。因discover与money之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语。
答案 A
3．There were many talented actors out there just waiting______.
A．to discover
C．discovered B．to be discovered D．being discovered
解析 考查不定式的被动式作目的状语。解答这类题时，一定要弄清非谓语动词和主语之间的逻辑关系。句意：在外面有许多有才华的演员等着被发现。to be discovered为不定式短语作目的状语。discover与其逻辑主语actors之间为动宾关系，且discover动作是将要发生，故用动词不定式的被动式。
答案 B
4．After that，he knew he could______any emergency by doing what he could to the best of his ability.
A．get away with
C．get through B．get on with D．get across
解析 考查get动词短语。句意：(经历过)那件事以后，他知道只要他尽自己所能就能处理任何紧急情况。to the best of尽??所能；就??的限度。get away with携??潜逃；(做了坏事)逍遥法外；get on with进展；相处；get through通过；完成；get across过(马路、桥等)；使(人)了解自己的意思。由句意可知，C项为最佳选项。
答案 C

A．calls for
C．lies on B．makes up D．stands for

6．I tried phoning her office，but I couldn’t______.
A．get along
C．get to B．get on D．get through
解析 考查动词词组辨析。get along“相处融洽，进展”；get on“继续，进行，上车”；get to“到达，开始”；get through“穿过，通过，读完，打通(电话)”。根据句意：我试着给她办公室打电话，但是没有打通。因此只有get through符合句意。
答案 D

A．differ； distinguish

A．get through
C．get into B．get off D．get down
解析 考查动词短语辨析。句意：在这么短的时间内他几乎完不成这么多工作。get through有完成之意，符合句意。get off下车；get into进入，陷入；get down“下车，吞下，写下”；都与句意不搭配。

A．practical

答案 A
13．Letterboxes are much more______in the UK than in the US，where most people have
a mailbox instead.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle (棱皮龟) national Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.
With leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), Playa Grande’s turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger (管理员). Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.
Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves.
More uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the egg’s temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees - 4 -
they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.
On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise.
1. Why does the resort town stop promoting it’s turtle tourism?
A. It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.
B. Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.
C. There are only very few turtles now.
D. The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.
2. Which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment?
A. The locals eating habit. B. Drift net fishing.
C. Beach development. D. Global warming.
3. We learn from the last paragraph that scientists .
A. are doing research on the sea rise B. are moving turtles to new homes
C. are protecting turtles’ nests D. are getting rid of sea weeds
4. The passage intends to .
A. introduce a special kind of sea turtle

C. show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facing
D. attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Normally when I pop in to see my parents, my mum bursts out of the house with a big smile. Not today. "Your brother," she says, "he's showered twice this afternoon. Does he know how much it costs to run this house?" Are we limiting water now? I didn't think the recession(萧条) had got that bad. My poor brother is a boomerang kid. Like 60 percent of guys immediately after university, he's back at home. Graduating ￡15,000 in debt and faced with unpaid internships(实习期) or low wages thanks to the flooding of the market with graduates, a lot of twentysomethings simply don't have the necessary income or parental support to live independently.
Three years after getting their degree, most graduates are still not earning above the average salary. They have a near 50 percent tax burden, thanks to student loan repayments and council tax on top of income tax and national insurance. Unless you have parents who can afford to finance what is effectively a second home for them, returning to the parental nest is often the only affordable option.
The boomerang effect is becoming even more pronounced thanks to the recession. One in four of those losing their job during the downturn is under 25. Only 13 percent of final-year students have jobs. Home is the only place many are going: 111,000 16-29 year olds moved back home in 2008, five times the average of previous years. Boomeranging is bad news. It poses serious problems for parents' finances. They've already supported their children through university, topping up loans with handouts, averaging ￡12,300 in total, to keep twentysomethings afloat. Now their retirement savings are being eaten away by continuously dependent children.
It’s bad for the returning kids too. Ambitious young people will be left frustrated, - 6 -
seeing their university peers from more wealthy backgrounds excel only because parents' money was there to support them through the initial period of poverty wages. Those living in rural areas are further disadvantaged by lack of access to cities where most new jobs are located. Half of all young people now feel they will not achieve their goals. Research by the Prince's Trust reveals that one-quarter of all 16-25 year olds are regularly down or depressed. And depression does not help self-motivation, the very trait needed to seek out job opportunities. 31. In paragraph 1, the mother’s criticizing her son for showering too often shows _________.
A. the price of water has increased
B. she thinks her son is selfish
C. her son is an economic burden
D. she wants to have a shower herself
