情況，所以為真實條件句。從句中使用的時態為一般現在時，故主句應使用將來時，故選A。11．【答案】B【解析】句意：你最好帶上這些文件，以防會議中你會用到。inease可引導目的狀語從句，意為“以防，以備”，sothat也可引導目的狀語從句。意為“以便，為了”，所以incase符合題意。unless除非；until直到。12．【答案】D【解析】句意：我以前沒有去過流行音樂節，邁克也沒有去過。t00和als0表示“也”時用于肯定句和疑問句；neither用作副詞時意為“兩者都不”，放在句首，表示前面否定的內容也適用于另一個人或物，句子須采用部分倒裝；either作副詞時也可表示“也”，用于否定句，一般位于句末。13．【答案】A【解析】句意：眾所周知，馬克·吐溫是一位偉大的美國作家。as在該句中引導非限定性定語從句。在從句中作主語。14．【答案】C【解析】句意：約翰向書店老板投訴，說字典中缺少了好幾頁。missin9意為“缺失的”，符合題意。lacking缺乏的；losing失敗的；dropping掉落的。15．【答案】C【解析】旬意：直到比賽開始他才到達運動場。notuntil引導時間狀語從句時主句要部分倒裝。從句中的時態為過去完成時，故主句中的時態應為一般過去時，故選C。16．【答案】C【解析】句意：常看電影的人知道許多特效都是通過電腦制作出來的。但他們往往不知道的是制作這些場景還需要投入大量的工作。分析句子結構可知，空格所在從句在整個句子中充當主語，從句中缺少賓語，且賓語指的是事而非人，故選C。17．【答案】A【解析】句意：總統將在開幕式上做正式講話。giveaspeech為固定搭配，意為“發表講話，做演講”。debate辯論，爭論；discussion討論；argument論點，爭論。18．【答案】B【解析】句意：當我遇到這些問題時，我頭腦一片空白，我甚至記不起自己的生日。one’smindgoesblank是固定表達，意為“頭腦一片空白”。faint模糊的；dark黑暗的：blind盲目的。19．【答案】A【解析】句意：如果他們愿意借給我們那筆我們需要的錢的話，我們的一切問題都將迎刃而解。solveproblems為固定表達，意為“解決問題”。caused引起；covered覆蓋；met遇到。

20．【答案】D【解析】句意：這篇文章呼吁人們多關注文化沖突的問題。callsfor意為“呼吁，提倡”，符合題意。caresfor關心，照顧；allowsfor考慮到；appliesfor申請，請求。21．【答案】C【解析】此處表示“是否還有其他因素在起作用”，atwork意為“(因素)在起作用”，符合題意。22．【答案】D【解析】空格后that引導的同位語從句意為“一些人似乎被賦予了特殊的創造力”，這是一個客觀事實，fact意為“事實”，符合題意。issue發行，議題；problem問題；reason原因。23．【答案】C【解析】由前一句中的轉折連詞while可知，該句與上句應是轉折關系，上句說“雖然一些人似乎被賦予了特殊的創造力”，所以此處應表示“但是研究表明任何人都能增加他們想出新點子的機會”，increase意為“增加”，符合題意。miss錯過；reduce減少；lose失去。24．【答案】B【解析】前文說“研究表明任何人都能增加他們想出新點子的機會“，此處應指增加這種機會應具備的條件，故應選if，引導條件狀語從句。25．【答案】A【解析】此處表示增加想出新點子的機會的條件，所以“如果在創造的過程中全身心投入，不斷嘗試的話”，就會增加想出新點子的機會。creation意為“創造”，符合題意。practice實踐：production生產；achievement成就。26．【答案】A【解析】此處意為“探索就是99％的汗水加1％的靈感”。引號中的內容位于介詞about之后，故本空應填be動詞的非謂語形式，故選A。27．【答案】D【解析】根據空格后的greatcreativebreak—throughs、intenseperiodsofstruggle可知。此處表示的觀點與前文一致，即研究一次又一次證明創造力離不開艱苦奮斗。timeandagain意為“屢次，再三”，符合題意。soonerorlater'遲早；somedayorother總有一天；everynowandthen不時地，常常。28．【答案】B【應試指導l此處表示“偉大的創造性突破往往在長期的艱苦奮斗后才會出現”，故選B。29．【答案】A【解析】本句是一個強調句，意為“正是朝一個特定目標堅持不懈的

努力為偉大的創新洞察力奠定了基礎”。強調句的常用結構為“Itis(was)+被強調部分(主語、賓語或狀語)+who／that…”，此處強調的是sustainedefforttowardsaspecificgoal，故應填that。30．【答案】B【解析】此處意為“這種堅持不懈的努力不一定總是立即有成效”，produce意為“產生”，符合題意。create創造；inspire鼓舞；encourage鼓勵。31．【答案】D【解析】notonly…butals0…為固定用法，意為“不僅……而且……”。32．【答案】C【解析】前文說“這種堅持不懈的努力不一定總是立即有成效”，所以這一事實會導致有些人認為他們是不可能取得創造性突破的。possible意為“可能的”，符合題意。good好的；difficult難的；stupid愚蠢的。33．【答案】D【解析】此處表示“當沒有發現任何突破時，他們會感到懷疑”。nowhere意為“任何地方都沒有”，符合題意。anywhere任何地方；ever，here到處；somewhere在某處。34．【答案】C【解析】此處表示“與自我懷疑的不可避免的邂逅”，encounterwith表示“遭遇，遇到”，符合題意。35．【答案】A【解析】此處表示“巨大的驚喜一定在不遠處，它可能在任何時候、任何地點發生”。faraway意為“遙遠的”，符合題意。usedup用完，耗盡；clearedoff擺脫，清除；nearby在……附近。36．【答案】D【解析】由第一段最后一句“ItisawayIfpersuasivecommunication．”可知，辯論是一種說服性的溝通方式，所以辯論的目的是為了說服他人接受自己的觀點．故選D。37．【答案】C【解析】根據第二段最后一句可知，CharlesLebeau等人創造“DiscoverDebate”method的目的是開發一種思維方式或與別人交流的方法，所以，辯論之所以重要是因為它可以提升一個人的思維能力和交流能力，故選C。38．【答案】A【解析】根據第三段第一句可知
