第一个空是泛指“传统”；in cash“用现金”，为固定短语。
6．John is a very successful man in many fields, but ________ he will be remembered as a loving husband and family man.
A．to be honest C．above all
B．in addition D．after all
解析：选C 根据语境“他是个在很多领域都很成功的人”和后半句的意思可知，这里强调的是“但最重要的是他是作为一位慈爱的父亲和居家男人被人们所记住的”，故选above all“首先；最重要的”。to be honest“说实话”；in addition“另外”；after all“毕竟”。
7．(2013·黑龙江哈九中模拟)Make sure that your speech is ________ and to the point, so that the audience will not get bored just because they have to listen to you talking for a long time.
A．brief C．fancy
B．attractive D．powerful
解析：选B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：务必使你的演讲有吸引力，切中要点，这样听众才不会厌烦，因为他们要听好长时间。attractive“有吸引力的”，符合句意。brief“简洁的”；fancy“奇特的”；powerful“强有力的”。
8．(2013·衡水中学模拟)On her birthday, she received a nice present from her parents ________ a note was attached, saying “We love you so much.”
A．that C．in which
B．to which D．which
解析：选B attach 与介词to 搭配，意为“附上；附加”，故定语从句用to which 引导。
9．(2013·杭州二中模拟)She is very ________ about this topic, so we'd better not discuss it in front of her.
A．confident C．sensitive
B．crazy D．humorous
解析：选C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：她对这个话题很敏感，所以我们最好别在她面前谈论这件事。be sensitive about sth.“易生气的；神经过敏的”，符合句意。be crazy about“对??着迷”；confident“自信的”；humorous“有幽默感的”。
10．Mum pretended ________ what happened yesterday at school, but in fact, she has been told about every detail.
A．not to hear about C．not to be hearing about
B．not to have heard about D．to not hear about
17
解析：选B 考查pretend 的用法。句意：妈妈假装没有听说昨天学校所发生的事，但事实上，别人已经把每个细节都告诉她了。pretend 后接不定式作宾语，根据语境，要与不定式的完成式连用，否定式将not提到不定式之前，故选B。
11．It was not until then ________ their marriage was ________ because they had little in common.
A．did I realize; breaking out C．did I realize; breaking up
B．that I realized; breaking up D．that I realized; breaking out
解析：选B 考查强调句和动词短语辨析。第一个空考查强调句型中的that，这里不用倒装；第二个空考查break up“破裂”，而break out“突然爆发”，不符合句意。
12．(2010·浙江高考)For many years, people ________ electric cars. However, making them has been more difficult than predicted.
A．had dreamed of C．dreamed of
B．have dreamed of D．dream of
解析：选B 考查时态。从for many years可知，此处谓语动词用完成时态，排除C项和D项；又因后一句用的是现在时态，故排除A项。据此答案应该选B项。
13．(2013·辽宁协作体模拟)To my great surprise I received a call from my manager ________ me for a drink at the pub.
A．to invite C．inviting
B．invited D．having invited
解析：选C a call 与invite之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，同时invite 与谓语动词received是同时发生的动作，故用动词-ing 形式作定语修饰call。
14．(2013·福建师大附中高三检测)We have to give the users something new ________ what we've already offered, which is the only way to broaden the appeal of the website.
A．in exchange for C．according to
B．regardless of D．in addition to
解析：选D 句意：除了我们已经提供的信息以外，我们还必须给用户提供一些新的东西，这是扩大网站吸引力的唯一方法。in addition to“除??之外”，符合句意。in exchange for“交换”；regardless of“不管；不顾”；according to“根据”。
15．(2013·北京四中期中)The children________ very well last night and the audience were attracted by their play.
A．permitted C．pretended
B．performed D．presented
解析：选B 句意：孩子们昨晚表演得很好，观众都被他们的话剧吸引了。perform“表
18
演”，符合句意。permit“允许”；pretend“假装；假扮”；present“颁发；赠送”。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Adrian's “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized he, couldn't hear a thing, not even loud noises. At a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. After speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to lip-read and pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. The headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn't take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, Adrian could do anything. Adrian made the grade and was accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace (节奏) was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn't always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in his life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06, becoming the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results，” she often said.
