　　3．The large drop in industrial output (产量) this year came as a big shock to the local government.

　　4．Lucy has a(n) acute (敏锐的) eye for fashion, which makes her a very good shopping companion.

　　Ⅱ.单项填空

　　1．Little John hardly got anything in ________ for his kind act, ________ made him unhappy.

　　A．award; as　　　　　　 　B．reward; which

　　C．prize; which D．medals; as

　　解析：选B　award"奖品"；reward"回报，报酬"；prize"奖品，奖金"；medal"奖章"。此处表示对善良行为的报答或酬谢，故第一空用 reward；第二空考查非限制性定语从句，因关系词在从句中作主语，所以用 which，故选B。

　　2．Steven Hawking's conclusion about black holes is a little ________， but it has been accepted by most of the world.

　　A．realistic B．abstract

　　C．contemporary D．appropriate

　　解析：选B　句意：虽然史蒂芬·霍金关于黑洞的理论有点抽象，但已被世界上大多数人所接受。abstract"抽象的"，符合句意。realistic"现实的"；contemporary"同时代的，当代的"；appropriate"恰当的"。

3．The School Art Festival has set up a stage ________ students can show their talents.
