(13)There were only a few elderly people living in the building at that time. And they were carried out to safety. (14) The Geller House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George
Washington stayed there in 1782. Five years ago it was made into a building for the elderly. Several fire departments were called to the scene.

Part Ⅱ Structure
Section A
16、C
[解析] 本题考查固定短语。be happy with/about sb．/sth．意为“对某人或某物满意的，放心的”。所以C项为正确答案。
[参考例句]
(1)Are you happy with this arrangement?(你对这一安排感到满意吗?)
(2)If there's anything you are not happy about，come and ask．(您
如果有什么不满意的，可来询问。)
17、B
[解析] 本题考查代词用法。none指代“两个以上的人或物都不”，在句中可
用作主语、宾语和同位语。none作主语时，谓语动词可用复数形式也可用单数
形式。所以B项为正确答案。
[用法拓展] either，neither和all在句中可作主语等。either表示“两者中的任何一个”，neither表示“两者都不”，作主语时其谓语动词用单数形式。all指代“两个以上的人或物”，作主语时，其谓语动词用复数形式，但指代
不可数名词时，谓语动词用单数形式。either可作为代词单独使用，或
either+of+代词的复数词组。
[参考例句]
(1)Neither of the answers is correct．(两个答案都不对。)
(2)I know either of the two brothers；(两兄弟我都认识。)
(3)None of us like(s) that film．(我们谁都不喜欢那部电影。)
18、D
[解析] 本题考查动词用法。regret+v-ing表示“对已做过的事情懊悔，后悔”；regret+that从句和regret to do sth都表示“对将发生的事情表示遗
憾或抱歉……”。根据题意，需要“后悔”含义，所以D项为正确答案。
[参考例句]
(1)We've always regretted selling the farm．(我们一直为卖掉了农场
而后悔不已。)
(2)We regret to inform you that your application has not been successful．(我们很遗憾地通知您，您的申请未通过。)
19、B
[解析] 本题考查现在分词的用法。此题中，主句和从句的主语一致，“realize”与主语“I”是主动关系，应使用现在分词。所以B项为正确答案。[用法拓展] 分词分为两种：现在分词和过去分词，可在句中作主语补语，宾语补语，定语，表语，状语和独立成分。现在分词表主动，过去分词表被动。如
果从句动作发生在主句之前，用现在分词的完成式。
[参考例句]
Having answered his students' questions，Dr．Black left the classroom。(回答完学生的问题后，布朗博士离开了教室。)
20、D
[解析] 本题考查连词的用法。in case“以免；以防万一”；unless“除非；
如果不”；until“直到……才”；so that“以便”。原句中前半句提醒是为
了避免后面的事情的发生。从句意可判断D项为正确答案。
[参考例句]
You'd better take the key in case I'm out．(你最好带上钥匙，万一我不在家。)
21、B
[解析] 本题考查定语从句的用法。在定语从句中，which为关系代词，可指物，作从句中的主语或宾语，此题中the business是先行词，其后面从句缺宾语，
所以which在句中作宾语。A项关系副词why通常与reason等表示原因的词连用；C项what引导名词性从句，不需要先行词；D项 where为关系副词，与表示地点的名词连用，在从句中作状语。所以B项为正确答案。
22、A
[解析] 本题考查would rather．．．than．．．结构。would rather+v原形+than+v原形，意为“宁可……也不愿……”。所以A项为正确答案。 [参考例句]
He would rather die bravely than live humbly．(他宁可勇敢地死，也不愿卑贱地活着。)
23、D
[解析] 本题考查从句时态用法。在not．．．until．．．结构中，当主句用一般将来时，until引导的从句，用一般现在时。所以D项为正确答案。
[用法拓展] 在由if, unless，supposing，as long as，in case，when，until等词语引导真实条件句或时间状语从句中，主句往往是一般将来时或祈使句，从句要用一般现在时表示将来的情况。
[参考例句]
(1)You'll be late for class if you don't hurry．(如果你不赶紧，上课就要迟到了。)
(2)We will find a way to overcome the difficulty，as long as we don't lose heart．(只要我们不灰心，我们就能找到克服困难的办法。) 24、C
[解析] 本题考查过去分词的用法。过去分词在意义上表示被动和完成。短语inform sb．of sth．意为“告知某人某事”，本题为inform scientists of the latest．．．。scientists与inform之间是被动关系，所以C项为正确答案。B项表主动，故排除；D项是不定式，不用于keep的这个用法中。
[用法拓展] keep sb．/sth．doing/done结构中，当sb．/sth．与动词间是主动关系时，用动词的现在分词形式，意为“使某人或某物一直做……”；当sb．/sth．与动词间是被动关系时，用动词的过去分词形式，意为“使某人或某物(被)……”。
[参考例句]
Although no worker is in the workshop，the machine is still kept working．(尽管车间没有工人，机器仍然在运转着。)
25、A
[解析] 本题考查倒装句。因为副词only与介词短语或从句等连用，放在句首表示强调时，句子语序应倒装，所以C项和D项排除。又因该句从句使用了过去完成时，表示动作发生于主句动作之前，所以主句应该用一般过去时。B项排除。所以A项为正确答案。
[参考例句]
Only in this way can you learn from your friends．(只有这样你才能向你的朋友学习。)
Section B
26、solution
[解析] 词性转换。虽有only，也不难判断定冠词the后需加名词。solve是动
词，意思是“解决”，对应名词是solution“办法”。
27、written
[解析] 过去分词。books和write之间是被动关系，故用write的过去分词形
式written，作books的后置定语。
28、believe
[解析] 词性转换。would后面要求使用动词原形。再根据that后的内容可判
断that引导一个宾语从句，无虚拟含义。故使用名词belief的动词原形believe。
29、be included
[解析] 被动语态。该句主语是water，gas and electricity，从意义上看是
动词include的宾语，应使用被动语态，又因should后面的动词为原形。因此答案为be included。
30、boring
[解析] 现在分词。有些动词后加-ing构成形容词，意为“令人感到……”或“使人……”bore--boring (令人感到厌烦)。根据题意，空格处填boring。[用法拓展] 类似bore用法的词有：satisfy-satisfying(令人满意的)；depress--depressing(令人压抑的) interesting(令人感兴
趣)disappointing(令人失望)等。
[参考例句]
This story is exciting．(这个故事令人感到兴奋。)
31、selling
[解析] 动名词。本题要用到动名词形式selling作consider(考虑)的宾语。[用法拓展] 动名词的形式为v.+ing，与现在分词同形。动名词在句中常用作
主语，宾语，表语等，兼有动词和名词的功能。
[参考例句]
(1)Seeing is believing．(眼见为实。)(作主语和表语)
(2)My favorite sport is playing table tennis．(我最喜欢的运动是打
乒乓球。)(作表语)
32、has been enjoying
[解析] 时态。本句使用了现在完成进行时，表示动作开始于过去并一直在继续进行，结构为have/has been v-ing。句中给出since引导的表示过去时间点
的从句，主句动作enjoy开始于从句动作“到海滨城市生活”之后，一直持续
进行到现在，并继续下去。所以，空格处填has been enjoying。
[用法拓展] 现在完成进行时，句中常有用for或since引导的表示一段时间的状语或从句。有时也包括现在时间在内的表示一段时间的状语。如all day，
the whole morning等。
[参考例句]
(1)The boys have been watching television since seven o'clock．(孩子们从七点起就一直在看电视。)
(2)I have been reading this book for two weeks but I have not finished it yet．(这本书我看了两周，但还没看完。)
33、effectively
[解析] 词性转换。本题是一个简单句，根据句意可知需要一个副词来修饰谓语，故应填入形容词effective的副词形式effectively。
34、would have bought
[解析] 虚拟语气。因第一个句子陈述的是过去事实，其后紧跟着otherwise，
显然第二句表达的是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，其句式为if．．had done，．．．would(should/could/might)have done。
[参考例句]
(1)If we had arrived here two minutes earlier，we could have
caught the train．(in果当初我们早两分钟到这里的话，本来是可以赶上车的。)
(2)If he had worked hard，he would have succeeded．(当初要是他努力的话，他就成功了。)
35、lost
[解析] 词性转换。从原句判断，her和child之间缺少的是形容词。lose是动词，这里应该填入形容词lost“丢失的，走失的”。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Task 1
36、A
[解题思路] 细节题。本题询问公交运输警察的责任是什么。根据文章第二段第二句话There are 23 full-time officers，146 part-time officers and
five administrative staff，devoted to one thing：public safety．(配有23位全职警员，146位兼职警员和5位行政人员，致力于一个目标：公共安全。)我们可知他们的责任是公共安全。因此答案为A。B、C、D选项均未提及。
37、B
[解题思路] 推理题。本题询问有时公交车上的巡逻警员为什么不引人注意。根据文章第三段第三句话Sometimes officers patrol out of uniform--one could be on your next bus．(有时警员着便装出行——很可能有一位就在你
乘的下一趟公交车上。)我们可知有时警员便装出行，所以不容易引人注意。因此答案为B。A、D选项文中未出现，C项不是直接原因。
38、D
[解题思路] 细节题。本题询问在新的公交车上安装摄像头的目的是什么。根据文章第四段第二句话Videotapes from these cameras help Transit Police identify and charge criminals．(这些摄像机拍下的录像帮助交运警察辨认
和起诉罪犯。)我们可知这些摄像机拍下的录像帮助交运警察辨认和起诉罪犯。因此答案为D。A、B、C选项在文章中没有提到。
39、C
[解题思路] 推理题。本题询问文章最后一段提到的两个数据表明什么。根据文章最后一句话 Downtown arrests have gone from 490 in April-September 2001 to 941 during the same period in 2002．(商业区拘捕的人数已经从2001年4月至9月的490例，上升到2002年同期的941例。)我们可知这两个
数据是关于商业区的，而且倒数第二段也讲的是商业区状况和警力配备，可以
看出警察对商业区治安的重视。因此答案为C。
40、C
[解题思路] 主旨题。本题询问这篇文章最佳题目是什么。首段就提出
“Transit Police programs are designed to enha nce safety，increase riders and preserve the quality of our system's structure。”(该计划
的设计目的是加强安全防范，增加乘客量，保证运输体系的质量。)接下来各段都是对其内容及实施的介绍。A、B项范围过大；D项片面。重视首段，综观全文，我们可知答案为C。
Task 2
41、C
[解题思路] 判断题。本题询问这篇通知提供了哪方面的信息。根据文章第一段The White House is the most visited residence in the world．Tours may be scheduled through our Washington DC office．Due to security and scheduling procedures，there are a few things you should know before
re- questing a tour．(白宫是世界上被光顾最频繁的住所。通过我们华盛顿
特区办事处可安排参观。由于安全和日程计划的程序，在申请参观前应了解几
件事)我们可知这篇通知提供了关于申请参观的信息。A项范围过大，B、D项片面。因此答案为C。
42、B
[解题思路] 细节题。本题询问白宫向公众开放时间。根据文章第八句Tours
are only conducted Tuesday through Saturday from 7：30 am to 11:30 am．(只能在周二至周六上午7:30至11:30期间参观。)我们可计算出白宫一周五天开放。A项是只在周一到周五；C项是每隔一天；D项是只在周末。因此答
案为B。
43、B
[解题思路] 细节题。本题询问组团参观白宫的申请必须在什么时候呈递。根据文章第五句话 Requests must be submitted with a minimum of one month's advance notice from the date of the tour．(申请至少在参观前一个月呈递。)我们可知至少在参观前一个月呈递。A项是就在申请当天；C项是周二到
周六之间任何一天；D是参观前十天。因此答案为B。
44、A
[解题思路] 细节题。本题询问申请被确定后，还会怎样。根据文章第七句话
All tours，even after they have been confirmed，are subject to cancellation due to security interests．(所有的参观，即使在已确定以后，也可能会由于安全问题被取消。)我们可知答案为A。B、C、D项文中均未提及。
45、D
[解题思路] 推理题。本题询问从文章中可推断出什么。全文多次多处提到security(安全)原因，并要求参观者提供非常详尽的个人资料保障信息，并申
明“所有的参观，即使在已确定以后，也可能会由于安全问题被取消。”可推
断出答案为D。根据文章第二部分第二点中“I.D. required for ages 14 and up|”意为“年龄在14岁及以上者，要求携带身份证”，可说明A项内容错误。全文未提国籍限制，B项排除。第三句指出十人或十人以上方可申请，一个人
不可以，所以C项错误。
