考查固定句式。句意：奥利弗一说完这些话，那个管理员就用汤勺打了他的头。no sooner后面用过去完成时，+than后用一般过去时，no sooner位于句首时，后用部分倒装句式。故选A。 【名师点睛】

本题考查了固定句型：no sooner…than…“一……就……”的使用。类似用法的句型还有hardly/scarcely…when…“一……就……”，这三个句型是经常考查的。现将它们的用法和考点总结如下：（1）考查句型搭配连词，如no sooner与than搭配，hardly/scarcely与when搭配；（2）考查时态，no sooner/hardly/scarcely后面是主句，主句使用过去完成时，than/when后面是从句，从句使用一般过去时；（3）考查倒装结构，no sooner/hardly/scarcely位于句首时，主句要用部分倒装结构。这个三个考点是经常能遇到的，所以同学们一定要记清楚。

16. --- Are you happy now?

D. should be

参：

B

【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：——你现在快乐吗？——要是我更苗条、更漂亮、更富有、更聪明就好了。根据上文now以及if only可知是表示与现在情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋动词过去式。故选B。

【点睛】If only: 常常用来表示强烈的愿望，因为用于虚拟语句时和wish类似，表达强烈的遗憾或与真实条件不符的愿望。因而使用起来的形式与wish相同。 ①表示与将来情况不同：if only＋ 从句主语＋would(could, might)+动词原形； eg：If only she would try again.我希望她能再试一次 ②表示与现在情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋动词过去式；

4 / 12

eg：If only I wasn’t going to London.我希望我没去过伦敦.

③表达与过去情况不同：if only＋从句主语＋would/could have/had＋过去分词。 eg：If only you had come to my birthday party.你要是来了我的生日晚会就好了。

二、 新的题型

17. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

Do you find it difficult to learn a foreign language successfully? Here are some tips to help you out:

1. Spend the time!

By far the most important factor is how much time you are absorbed in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning!

2. Listen and read every day!

Listen no matter where you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading, you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.

3. Focus on words and phrases!

Build up your vocabulary—you will need lots. Start to notice words and how they come

together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how correctly you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.

4. Take responsibility for your own learning!

If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else

5 / 12

to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.

5. Relax and enjoy yourself!

Do not worry about what you can’t remember, or can’t yet understand, or can’t yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language.

Mountain regions are not just playgrounds for the richer citizens on the planet, however. The disappearing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro are a worrying sign that nowhere is safe from the adverse effects of human actions. The United Nations has identified three main areas that need to be addressed to ensure the future safety of the world’s mountains. These are: the protection of mountain ecosystems, the encouragement of peace and stability in mountain regions, and assistance for mountain people to maintain their ways of life.

From the busy cities of India to the farmlands of California, more than half the world’s

10 / 12

population is dependent on mountains for their fresh water supply. Global warming,

deforestation, mining and heavy farming seriously damage breakable mountain ecosystems and put vital fresh water sources at risk.

Mountain regions host a large proportion of the world’s wars. From Afghanistan to the Balkans and the Andes to many parts of Africa, territorial（领土的） and drug related conflicts have damaging effects on the local environment and the lives of the local people. Fighting makes essential tasks such as farming impossible. Land mines make large areas of potential farming ground unusable. Also schools, roads, bridges and other important infrastructure（基础设施） are left in ruins.

Mountain people are among the poorest, least represented groups on the earth. They face many hardships and each day can be, “a test of survival”. Damage to mountain ecosystems worsens their situation and leaves them even more unprotected to disease and ‘natural’ disasters such as floods and landslides. It’s been recommended that forest profit should be reinvested in mountain communities and the people living there should be given a stronger political voice. Their fate is in many ways directly connected with that of people living at sea level.

There is an old motto for visitors to the countryside which advises them to leave nothing but footprints. It is still as relevant today as it always was. Unfortunately, the size of our footprints seems to be getting larger.

43. What the writer discussed in the previous sections is most probably about . A. mountain ecosystems B. mountain regions C. mountain people D. mountain sports

44. The word “adverse” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “__________”. A. direct B. harmful C. positive D. powerful

45. Wars have directly brought the following effects EXCEPT __________. A. inadequate supply of fresh water B. impossible farming C. mountain people’s poor living condition D. ruined infrastructure 46. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Mountain people have enough political voice to protect themselves. B. More money should be raised to establish mountain communities. C. Worsened ecosystems put mountain people’s lives under threat.

11 / 12

D. Visitors to mountains have left nothing but large footprints.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了乞力马扎罗山的雪消失是一个令人担忧的迹象。联合国确定了三个主要领域，旨在确保世界山区未来的安全。 【43题详解】

推理判断题。答案定位在第一段Mountain regions are not just playgrounds for the richer citizens on the planet，however．可知山区不仅仅是地球上更富裕的公民的游乐场，故之前的部分应该是介绍爬山运动的，故选D。 【44题详解】

词义猜测题。下文The United Nations has identified three main areas that need to be addressed to ensure the future safety of the world’s mountains.说联合国已经确定了三个需要解决的主要领域，以确保世界山区未来的安全。由此推断出The disappearing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro are a worrying sign that nowhere is safe from the adverse effects of human actions.意思是乞力马扎罗山正在消失的积雪是一个令人担忧的迹象，表明任何地方都无法免受人类活动的不利影响。故adverse意为不利的，A. direct直接的；B. harmful有害的；C. positive积极的；D. powerful强大的，故选B。 【45题详解】

细节理解题。答案定位在第三段Fighting makes essential tasks such as farming impossible. Land mines make large areas of potential farming ground unusable. Also schools, roads, bridges and other important infrastructure（基础设施） are left in ruins.（战争使务农等基本任务变得不可能。地雷使大片潜在的农地无法利用。学校、道路、桥梁和其他重要的基础设施也被毁。）A选项“淡水供应不足”，文中没有提到，故选A。 【46题详解】

推理判断题。根据答案定位在倒数第二段Damage to mountain ecosystems worsens their situation and leaves them even more unprotected to disease and ‘natural’ disasters such as floods and landslides. It’s been recommended that forest profit should be reinvested in mountain communities and the people living there should be given a stronger political voice.可知生态系统恶化使山区人民的生命受到威胁，故选C。
