参考答案：

Ⅱ. 单项选择(20分)

1.【解析】选C。考查名词辨析。由“The baby is sleeping. ”可知想让孩子停止吵闹。noise“喧闹声; 叫喊声; 噪音”。make noise“制造噪音; 吵闹”。故选C。

2.【解析】选C。考查动词的词义辨析。make使, 让; take带走, 拿走; prevent阻止; cause引起。由句意“多加小心, 那么我们就会阻止这些事故”可知C项符合句意。

3.【解析】选C。考查疑问词辨析。由答语“我猜是琳达的”可知问句询问“ 这个排球是谁的? ”whose“谁的”。

4.【解析】选D。考查不定代词的用法。题干是个一般疑问句, 由句意“——有人帮你做这项工作吗? ——没人, 我自己完成的。”可知应选D。

5.【解析】选A。考查it作形式主语的用法。It’s+ adj. +for sb. +to do sth. 句式中, 真正的主语是不定式(短语), it作形式主语。

6.【解析】选C。考查情态动词的用法。由I’m not sure. Ask our monitor, please. “我不清楚, 问问我们班长吧”可知后句意为“他也许知道”。may意为“也许”, 表不太肯定的推测。故选C。

7.【解析】选C。考查短语辨析。take away“带走”; take off“起飞”; take care of“照顾”; take out of“从……取出”。由句意“……我需要在家照看我弟弟并帮他学英语。”可知选C。

8.【解析】选B。考查短语辨析。either. . . or. . . 或者……或者……; not on ly. . . but also. . . 不但……而且……; neither. . . nor. . . 既不……也不……, 由句意“那个女孩在唱歌和跳舞方面都有天赋, 所以她被选到春晚表演节目”可知B项符合句意。C项是个错误搭配。

9.【解析】选C。考查定语从句。先行词village是表示地点的名词, 且关系词在从句中作状语, 所以选C。

10.【解析】选A。考查宾语从句的用法。宾语从句的语序要用陈述语序。答语句意为“多谢。我想知道这封信是谁寄来的”。所以选择答案A。
