Section A Grammar （20分每题1分）
Multiple choice:

A. is increasing, predict
B. increasing, predicting
C. increasing, predict
D. to be increasing, predicted
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词和一般现在时。句意：随着人口以惊人的速度增长，专家们对地球上的人口如此之多感到惊讶，并预测到本世纪末地球人口将达到100亿。在“with+宾语+宾补”结构中，increa和population构成主动关系，应用现在分词形式。动词predict和谓语are之间有连词and，所以应用谓语形式。根据“experts are amazed”可知，此处应用一般现在时。故选C。
2. In the past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia ________ months at a, but now we just have to sit on a plane for a few hours, so in some ways the planet ems to ________.
A. have spent, get smaller
B. spent, be getting smaller
C. had spent, get smaller
D. would spent, be getting small
【答案】B
【解析】诗意的游戏名字
【详解】考查一般过去时、非谓语动词和比较级。句意：过去，从欧洲到印度尼西亚的旅行者要在海上度过几个月，但现在我们只需要在飞机上坐上几个小时，所以从某些方面来说，地球似乎越来越小了。根据“In the past”可知，第一个空格应用一般过去时。根据“but now we just have to sit on a plane for a few hours”可知，此处是指现在与过去相比，地球似乎越来越小了。em to be doing意为“似乎正在做某事”，此处使用to do不定式的进行式表示正在进行。表示“越来越小”应用形容词比较级smaller。故选B。
3. In fact, people from different continents prefer to________ the diversity of products
________ by various companies.
A. enjoying, made
B. enjoying, making
C. enjoy, making
D. enjoy, made
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意：事实上，来自不同大陆的人们更喜欢享受不同公司生产的产品的多样性。第一空为短语prefer to do sth.，表示“更喜欢做某事”；第二空make在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语the diversity of products构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故选D。
4. In Myanmar, the population now has become ________ that in 1971.
A. twice as big as
B. as twice big as
C. as big twice as
D. as big as twice
【答案】A
红字更正法
【解析】疲劳近义词
【分析】
【详解】考查倍数表达。句意：在缅甸，现在的人口已经是1971年的两倍。此处为“A+be+倍数+as+形容词/副词的原级＋as…”倍数表达，表示“……是……的几倍”。故选A。
5. “________ survive the tiger attack.” the little boy thought to himlf.
A. I am not possible to
B. It is likely that I will not
吸附石C. It is likely to not
D. I possibly don’t
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查likely的用法和it做形式主语。句意：小男孩心想：“我很可能在老虎的袭击中活不下来”
。
likely 的用法为“ It is ”和 “sb be likely to do sth” 。possible一般不用表示人的词作主语，但若真的要用表示人的词作主语，possible后接不定式，构成“It is possible（for sb）to do sth ”。副词是用来修饰动词的，一般放在情态动词、be动词和助动词之后，实义动词之前。综合以上分析。故选B项。
6. ________ by Arun with a number of customers, the idea of developing solar-power batteries for people in India would work definitely.
A. Being tested
B. Having been tested
C. Having tested
D. To be tested
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经过阿伦和一些客户的测试，为印度人开发太阳能电池的想法肯定会成功。分析句子结构可知，“_______ by Arun with a number of customers”作状语，应用非谓语，结合句意，“test(测试)”在谓语动作“would work”之前发生，所以应用完成式形式；该词“test”和主语“the idea of developing solar-power batteries for people in India”为被动关系，所以应用被动形式。综上，应用现在分词完成时被动形式作状语，故填Having been tested，故选B。
7. The old man, who ________ in the rope, saw the fishing spear ________ into the shark’s head.
A. was wrapping, threw
B. wrapped, being thrown
C. was wrapped, thrown
D. wrapping, throw
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查动词时态语态和非谓语。句意：被绳子缠住的老人看到鱼叉被扎进鲨鱼的脑袋里。第一空为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The old man，先行词在从句中作主语，与逻辑主语构成被动关系，根据后文saw可知用一般过去时的被动语态；第二空为“e+宾语+宾补”结构，the fishing spear与throw构成被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补。故选C。
8. After months of rearch there was little hope ________ the lost car might be found.
A. when
B. where
C. which
D. that
【答案】D
