基础巩固
Ⅰ.单项选择
( )1. There________lots of people at the restaurant when I got there.
A. is B. was
C. are D. were
答案：D
解析：考查there be用法。lots of people是复数，be用复数形式，排除A和B;由when I got there可知：用一般过去时表示，故选D。
( )2. —Do you like your new Tshirt?
—Yes. Not only I but also my mother ________ it.
A. likes B. like
C. doesn’t like D. to like
答案：A
解析：考查主谓一致。Not only...but also...谓语动词的确定是临近原则。故选A。
( )3. —He, together with his parents ________going to visit Shanghai in July. How about you?
—I’m afraid I have to stay at home ________.
A. are; on my own B. is, by myself
C. is; by my own D. are; on myself
答案：B
解析：考查主谓一致与反身代词的用法。介词with后的谓语动词应和它前面的主语he一致，故A、D错。by oneself是“独自”的意思。故选B。
( )4. There ________ still some milk in the fridge. It’s not necessary to go to the store today.
A. am B. is
C. are D. be
答案：B
解析：考查there be句型的就近原则。这是一个there be结构的句子，离系动词be最近的是不可数名词milk，根据就近原则，选B。
( )5. The number of books in the bookshop is about 10,000 and a number of them ________ about science.
A. is B. was
C. are D. Were
答案：C
解析：考查主谓一致。依据第一句中的谓语动词“is(一般现在时)”可推断出第二句的时态也应是一般现在时，故保留A和C项;由短语“a number of...”的谓语动词是复数，故选C。
( )6. Neither my father nor my mother ________ rock music. They think that it’s too
________.
A. like; noise B. likes; noise
C. like; noisy D. likes; noisy
答案：D
解析：考查主谓一致和词义辨析。 neither...nor...“既不……，也不……”，连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，既“就近原则”。本句的谓语动词由“my mother”来决定，用likes;noise 是名词“噪音”，noisy是形容词：嘈杂的，根据句意可推断应为“嘈杂的”，故选D。
( )7. —David, there ________ a dictionary and some books on your desk. Please put them
away.
—OK. Mum. I’ll do it right away.
A. is B. are
C. has D. have
答案：A
解析：考查there be句型的就近原则。There be后面接并列名词时，谓语动词 be 应与最邻近的名词在数上保持一致， 首先排除C、D项。又因为句中的名词为单数a dictionary，由此可排除B项。故选A。
( )8. This is my twin sister, Lucy. Not only she but also I ________ good at drawing.
A. is B. am
C. are D. be
答案：B
解析：考查主谓一致。Not only...but also...依据就近原则谓语动词的应是am。
( )9. One of my friends ________moved to America. I miss her so much.
A.has B. have
C. is D. are
答案：A
解析：考查主谓一致。我的一个朋友搬到美国了，我很想念她。后一句是前一句的影响和后果，因此用现在完成时;主语是one，用单数。
( )10. ________ you ________ he is able to skate, but I am.(2009达州)
A. Both; and B. Not only; but also
C. Either; or D. Neither; nor
答案：D
解析：考查主谓一致及句意。根据is判断A为错误项;下文：但是我会。可知：你和他都不会。neither...nor...意为“既不……也不……”。故选D。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a wellbalanced(平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

A. a science magazine B. a guide book
C. a sports newspaper D. a story book

( )3. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep ________.
A. on curled up B. on her stomach

C. 外向的 D. 有戒心的
( )5. What does the passage tell us?
A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping.
