1．(2012·盐城高三调研)Thereportcardswillbecomingsoon,andwehopeallourhardworkwill________withgoodgrades.
A．turnoutB．payoff
C．figureoutD．goout
解析：考查动词短语辨析。turnout后不跟介词短语，意为“在场，结果是”；figureout“弄清楚，弄明白”，后面必须有宾语；goout“熄灭，出去”，与语意不符。payoff意为“成功，达到目的，奏效”，符合句意“我们希望我们所有的努力能有好的结果——得高分”。
答案：B
2．Whattroublesheristhatshecan''tbuy________shewantswiththemoneysheearns.
A．whateverB．whichever
C．howeverD．whenever
解析：考查名词性从句。句意：困扰她的是她不能用她挣的钱买任何她想要的东西。whatever在宾语从句中作want的宾语。
答案：A
3．(2012·州二模)Thenaughtyboythrewastoneintothelake，________thepeacefulsurface.
A．destroyingB．damaging
C．interruptingD．disturbing
解析：句意：顽皮的男孩向湖水中投了一块石子，打破了平静的湖面。destroy“破坏，毁掉”，表抽象意义时，指破坏“希望，心情”等；damage“损坏(具体东西)”；interrupt“打断，使……不能继续”；disturb“打扰，扰乱”。故D项符合句意。
答案：D
4．(2012·宿模拟)Theformerpresidentstudiedhardwhenhewasyoung,which________hissuccessinhiscareer.
A．contributedtoB．appliedto
C．gotusedtoD．turnedto
解析：考查短语辨析。句意：这位前总统小时候学习很努力，这促成了他事业的成功。contributeto“起作用，有助于，促成”符合句意。applyto“将……应用于”；getusedto“习惯于”；turnto“转向，变成，求助于”。
答案：A
5．(2012·质检)Shestaredatthepainting,wonderingwhereshe________it.
A．sawB．hasseen
C．seesD．hadseen
解析：考查动词的时态。根据句意可知，see这一动作发生在谓语动词stared表示的动作之前，而stared是一般过去时，所以这里要用过去完成时，表示“过去的过去”。
答案：D
6．It''simportantthatthesetraditionshandeddownfromgenerationtogenerationshouldbe________.
A．reservedB．preserved
C．deservedD．prevented
解析：考查动词词义区别。句意：重要的是要保留这些一代一代传下来的传统。preserve“保护，维护，保留”，符合句意。reserve“储备，保存，预订”；deserve“应受，值得”；prevent“阻止，防止”。
答案：B
7．(2012·镇江高三调研)I''vealwaysbeenvery________aboutgivingmyaddressandQQnumbertostrangers.

答案：B
14．________thedangerfromanotherattackofearthquake,peoplehadtoovercomeashortageoffood,drinkingwater,medicine,clothing,andalmosteverything.
A．Asfaras B．Aswellas
C．AsmanyasD．Asmuchas
解析：考查短语辨析。句意：人们除了面临遭受余震的危险外，还得克服缺粮、缺水、缺药、缺衣等几乎一切困难。aswellas“也，以及”，符合句意。asfaras“远到……，据……，就……”；asmanyas“和……一样多”；asmuchas“差不多，几乎等于”。
答案：B
15．________youunderstandthisrule,you''llhavenofurtherdifficulty.

语篇解读：爱迪生和贝尔这样伟大的发明家是无人不知无人不晓，可是那些不太出名的发明家我们是否也应该知晓呢？其实生活中离不开小发明，那些不太出名的发明家我们也应该知道，并且年轻人要把握发明的契机。

A．beneficial,becausetheirinventorsarefamous
B．beneficial,thoughtheirinventorsarelessfamous
C．notuseful,becausetheirinventorsarelessfamous
D．notuseful,thoughtheirinventorsarefamous
解析：推理判断题。根据文中所举的事例和最后一段可知，作者提到像交通灯和雨刮器这样的发明是想告诉我们，这些发明的发明者虽然不是很有名但是这些发明对我们的生活是非常有益的，因此选择B项。
答案：B
2．ProfessorJoanMcLean''scourseaimsto______.
A．addcolourandvarietytostudents''campuslife
B．informstudentsofthewindshieldwiper''sinvention

D．Shouldn''tWeDevelopInventionCoursesinUniversities?
解析：标题归纳题。从文章内容可知本文不是关于如何帮助学生销售他们的发明的，也不是关于如何设计一个装置来清洁窗户的，在大学里开设有关发明的课程只是文章用来说明我们应如何对待生活中的小发明：我们应把握发明的契机、去创造。故C项最适合作为文章的标题。
