高中英语2008年高考模拟卷五试题

1,The Internet and the World Web (网) are great places to be right now. We use the word \"place\" because so many of the things you can do online are similar to the things you can do wherever people gather together－in homes , schools , libraries , shopping centers , or at family reunions or town meetings. The Net allows people to learn shop, find important information, and communicate, whether they're local, global or simply virtual (虚的) . The Web is useful. You can find old friends online. You can research and book flights, check the weather, find breaking news, find out information about schools and colleges. Yon can even place an order for books, CDs, computers and cars.

The Internet is also fun. You can write to old friends or check out their web pages, enjoy web - based soap operas, laugh at online jokes, join in a live Net Event, chat with other Internet surfers(漫游者) , check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web .

Millions of users log on to the Net every day, and it's not just to do research. There's a lot of fun there. That's one reason why it's called web \"surfing\".

Of course, the first step to using the Web for business or for fun is learning how to work a \"web browser\" . If you' re new to

computers, it may take a while before you are completely comfortable with your browser. Don't worry. You don't have to be a computer whiz . The basics of a web browser are very much like the basics of modem computers－ -learning how to point and click the mouse, learning how to scroll up and down a page of text, and learning how to use pull - down menus. Again, be patient. There's no time limit on web surfing . Give yourself a chance to explore (探索) the browser itself while you explore the Web. 1. The writer compares the Web to _______.

The animals went through their tricks, but they were far from being 5 about the wetness.

And so we came to the head-in-mouth6 . When I pulled Leo’s mouth open raising his face and nose to the 7, I noticed that the muscles of his jaws（上、下鄂）were tense.

试题答案

1, 1．A由文章首句 The Internet and the World Web are great places to be right now可知。

2．B全文讲述因特网既有用，又可用于娱乐，fun可表示“供娱乐用的；给人欢乐的”，相当于“of great enjoyment”；但funny则主要表示“逗人发笑的；滑稽的；古怪的”等意思。故答案为B，而不是C．

3．A由Don't worry．You don't have to be a computer …及前面的句子可推知。

4．D由learning how to point and click the mouse,…how to scroll up and down a page of text 以及…how to use pull-down menus 可知。

2, 1．C本题考查考生根据语境猜测词义的能力。根据短文第二段叙述的最大的竞争者Shandhai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Car Rental Centre提供了很多种类供选择及Santana sedans是人们特别喜爱的这些事实确认这些词语指供出租的小汽车，故答案为C．

2．D短文第四自然段叙述了这些汽车出租公司每月能吸引顾客使用他们70％的小汽车，节、假日期间，租用数量还要增加，该段末尾也说明一些公司在节、假日期间他们所有的汽车都出租出去了，故只有D项与短文内容相符。

3．C短文最后一段中The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees, who can afford the new service 说明，队伍不断扩大的白领雇员能担负起这种新兴客运费用，他们是租用出租汽车的主要市场力量，这说明了上海汽车出租公司迅猛

发展的主要原因，故C为最佳答案。

3, 1．in 1974→1974．介词错误，时间状语是年、月、日的，只需用一个介词；但若是年、月、日、时的，则要用at six thirty ，on the morning of May 4th，2001． 2．正确。

3．good→well．形容词和副词此行的混淆错误．固定词组be good at，do well in都可表示“在……方面学得好”。

4．fond→was fond．动词谓语残缺错误。fond是形容词，and引导并列谓语结构，故应用动词短语be fond of．

5．entered into→entered 动词enter是及物动词，直接接宾语． 6．study→to study 此处用动词不定式短语做目的状语．

7．farther→further. farther 意为“更远的”，表示实际距离；further 可以表示“深远的；进一步的”，深造学习应用 further study。 8．get→got．时态错误。“取得学位”是过去的动作。

9．but→and．连词错误。根据其前后两个分句的句意可知，不是转折关系。

10．receive→receiving ．非谓语动词错误。look forward to 应接名词或动名词。 4, Christmas Day
