2. _________ the silence of the pauses, we could hear each other’s breathing and could almost hear our own heartbeats. (2007湖南卷)
A. In B. For C. Under D. Between

A. a; a B. a; the C. 不填; a D. the; 不填
【答案】C。
【考点】考查冠词的用法。
【解析】第一空后的sea ice为表泛指的物质名词，故其前不用冠词；第二空后的platform为表泛指的单数可数名词，故其前用不定冠词。
4. The biggest problem for most plants, which _________ just get up and run away when threatened, is that animals like to eat them. (2007湖南卷)
A. shan’t B. can’t C. needn’t D. mustn’t
【答案】B。
【考点】考查情态动词的用法。
【解析】can在此表示能力，can’t表示“不能”。此题所考查的知识点比较简单，但由于句子结构比较复杂，所以许多学生不是由于没有弄清知识点而误选，而是由于不理解句意而误选。全句意为：对于大多数植物来说，它们所面临的最大问题是（有些）动物喜欢以它们为食物，而当它们受到威胁时却不能起身逃跑。
5. As the years passed, many occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations — _________ with Dad’s flowers. (2007湖南卷)
A. are marked B. were marked C. have marked D. had marked
【答案】B。
【考点】考查动词的被动语态。
【解析】由于句中增加了插入成分birthdays, awards, graduations，使得句子的主语与谓语were marked分离，从而增加了考生对句子理解的难度。根据句意，空格处应填被动语态；再根据句中的passed的时态特点可知，空格处也应用一般过去时，故选B。
6. It’s hard for him playing against me. I’ve got nothing to play for, but for him, he needs to win so _________. (2007湖南卷)
A. far B. well C. little D. badly
【答案】D。
【考点】考查副词辨析与用法。
【解析】badly在此不是表示“坏地”，而是表示“很”“相当”，这样用的badly主要见于与表示“想要”或“需要”的词语或短语（如want, need, be in need of等）搭配的情形。如：He is badly in need of help. 他非常需要帮助。 He wants to go abroad badly. 他非常想出国。
7. To save class time, our teacher has _________ students do half of the exercises in class and complete the other half for our homework. (2007湖南卷)
A. us B. we C. our D. ours
【答案】A。
【考点】考查代词的辨析与用法。
【解析】因为是用作动词has的宾语，所以要用宾格代词us。全句意为：为了节约课堂时间，我们的老师要求我们学生在课堂上做一半练习，剩下的一半在课后作为家庭作业完成。
8. Having checked the doors were closed, and _________ all the lights were off, the boy opened the door to his bedroom. (2007湖南卷)

【答案】B(//www.julie-photo.com/)。
【考点】考查宾语从句。
【解析】that在此用于引导宾语从句，用作动词check的宾语。句中的现在分词having checked带有两个宾语从句 (that) the doors were closed和that all the lights were off，只是前面一个宾语从句省略了引导词that。
9. As the light turned green, I stood for a moment, not _________, and asked myself what I was going to do. (2007湖南卷)
A. moved B. moving C. to move D. being moved
【答案】B。
【考点】考查非谓语动词用法。

10. We live day by day, but in the great things, the time of days and weeks _________ so small that a day is unimportant. (2007湖南卷)
A. is B. are C. has been D. have been
【答案】A。
【考点】考查主谓一致的用法。
【解析】句子主语为the time，故用谓语要用单数；再根据句子前后的时态live和is，可知此处宜用一般现在时，不用现在完成时，故选A。
11. Cathy is taking notes of the grammatical rules in class at
A. studies B. studied C. is studying D. has been studying

12. By serving others, a person focuses on someone other than himself or herself, _________ can be very eye-opening and rewarding. (2007湖南卷)
A. who B. which C. what D. that

13. Most birds find it safe to sleep in the trees, but _________ they have eggs or young chicks, they don’t use a nest. (2007湖南卷)
A. why B. how C. unless D. where

14. “Things _________ never come again!” I couldn’t help talking to myself. (2007湖南卷)
A. lost B. losing C. to lost D. have lost

A. some B. much C. more D. most
【答案】C(http://www.yynat.com/)。
【考点】考查比较等级。
【解析】由于是将“Love me, love my dog”与“Love me, love my book”进行比较，故用比较级。此题的巧妙之处在于句中没有出现than，而是给出两个待比较的proverb。
