A. did I know

A. thanks to
B. regardless of
C. aside from
D. but for
[解析]：正确答案：D。本题通过一个含蓄虚拟条件句来考察介词短语的辨析。本题意为“要不是爱迪生的发明，今天我们身边享用的很多东西都将不复存在。”选项A,给考生造成比较大的干扰与困惑。如果把题目改成：“Thanks to Thomas Edison, now we can benefit from many of the things around us.”选项B，“不管，不顾”；选项C“除了”，相当于apart from；选项D,“要不是”。其实，本题的突破点在于选项D可以用于虚拟语气。

江苏省溧阳市2015高考英语单项选择训练（9）及答案 江苏省2015高考英语课时作业及解析09 Ⅰ.单项填空 1．He felt very sad that though he worked very _______indeed，he was not able to jump _____. A．hardly；high B．hard；high C．hardly；highly D．hard；highly 答案B[有些考生可能会认为动词后面应用副词修饰，而形容词后面加-ly就成副词了，于是错选A、C或D。其实，hard和high都既可作形容词，也可作副词。hard作形容词时意为“坚硬的；难懂的”，作副词时，意为“努力地；猛烈地”；而hardly是副词，意为“几乎不”；high作形容词时，意为“高的，有……高度的”，作副词时意为“在高处，向高处”； 而highly是副词，意为“高度地”，表示抽象意义。根据句子语境可知，正确答案为B。] 2．The case is being looked into；a team consisting of top Chinese police officers will leave for Japan soon to ________the truth. A．uncover B．recover C．indicate D．represent 答案A[句意：这个案子正在调查中，由中国高级警官组成的调查团很快将赴日本揭开事实真相。uncover“揭露”；recover“恢复”；indicate“指示”；represent“代表，象征”。故选A项。] 3．By the time my friend gets to Australia next Sunday，I________for America. A．will have left B．might have left C．will leave D．am leaving 答案A [考查动词的时态。句意：当我的朋友下周日到达澳大利亚时，我也已经离开去了美国。by the time用作连词，引导时间状语从句，意为“到……时候”，当它引导的从句的时态用一般现在时时，主句的时态通常用将来完成时。此处指到下周日“我”将已经去了美国，故用将来完成时。] 4．________money is concerned，I always try to be very careful. A．Where B．When C．Why D．How 答案A[句意：凡是涉及钱的地方，我总是尽量小心谨慎。where...is concerned＝as far as...is concerned“就……而言”。] 5．—Why did you refuse to move into the office? —Because it was really in a poor ________and dirty. A．form B．situation C．shape D．state 答案D[in any form/shape“某事物的任何形式”；in the shape/form of“以……的形式”；in a situation“处于……的境地；陷入……的状况”；in a poor state“处于糟糕、混乱或不整洁 的状态”。句意：——你为什么拒绝搬进办公室？——因为它真的很破很脏。]
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely 主语that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work主语. Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved定语. For example, people volunteer to express personal values 定语related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships宾语. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract定语. People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation 状语from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”).When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this

Freedom and Responsibility Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses. In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state. But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected
