Unit 2 The Olympic Games reading课时作业　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Ⅰ.单项填空

1．As is known to us all，failure usually ________laziness while diligence can________ success.

A．results from；lie in B．results in；result from

C．leads to；lie in D．results from；result in

答案　D

解析　由failure与laziness的逻辑关系可知，第一空应用result from(由......引起)；由diligence与success的逻辑关系可知，第二空应用result in(导致)。

2．-Can you explain________China's football team failed again in the attempt for the World Cup?

-I am sorry，but this is the last time. We will behave ourselves.

A．why is it that B．why it is that

C．how it is that D．how is it that

答案　B

解析　考查强调句的特殊疑问句结构。根据答语，我们得知第一句话的句意为：你能否解释中国足球队为何又没能进入世界杯？特殊疑问句中只有疑问词可以强调，其强调结构是"疑问词＋is(was) it that...？"根据句意，是用why引导而不是how所以排除C、D两项。而且句中的强调句结构所在的句子是跟在动词"explain"后面作宾语从句，从句应用陈述语序，也就是"疑问词＋it is(was) that..."，故选B。

3．We still don't know the exact time for the first human being________.

A．to have been cloned B．being cloned

C．having been cloned D．to be cloned

答案　D

解析　句意为：我们还不知道第一个人被克隆的确切时间。the first human being与clone之间存在被动关系，且人类被克隆应该发生在将来，应用to be cloned，既表被动又表将来。

4．She ________an old friend of hers yesterday while she was shopping at the department store.

A．turned down B．dealt with

C．took after D．came across

答案　D
