1.【解析】选D。考查代词用法。any用于否定句表示对三者（包括三者）以上的人或事物的否定，the company won’t approve any of them相当于 the company will approve none of them；both用于否定句表示部分否定，与后面的语境不符；each不用于否定句；either用于肯定句表示两个中的“任何一个都”, 表示肯定，用于否定句表示两个中的“任何一个都不”，表示全部否定，相当于neither。
【易错提醒】该题易错选B。both用于否定句表示部分否定，在该句中如果用both，则表示“公司不会都同意这两个计划”。如果表示两者的全部否定，应该用neither或在否定句中用either。either用于肯定句并不等于both，either具有在两者之间进行选择的意思“两个中任何一个”，而both表示的是“两个都”。
2.【解析】选A。考查冠词。potential后接副词here表示限定；centre后接of the city作定语表示限定；根据结构和语境可知，两个空的冠词都是特指用法，故都用定冠词the。
3.【解析】选A。考查形容词辨析。accessible可得到的, 易接近的；relative相对的，有关的；attractive有吸引力的；affordable买得起的，负担得起的。根据句意应该选A。句意：弗兰克将药放到上面的抽屉里以确保孩子们拿不到。
4.【解析】选D。考查短语辨析。less than不到，少于；more than超过，多于, 不仅仅，非常；not more than不超过；no more than只是，不过，仅仅。句意：戴维看着汽车慢慢离开，直至它在远处变成一个小点。故选D。
5.【解析】选A。考查动词时态。根据句中so we only saw the end of it可知，这里的时态表示马上要结束，用过去进行时表示即将发生的动作。
6.【解析】选C。考查副词辨析。句意：幸存下来的水手努力坚持了几个小时，最后被救生艇救了起来。curiously好奇地；steadily稳定地；eventually最后，终于；especially尤其，特别。
7.【解析】选B。考查代词及定语从句。one是不定代词, 表示泛指，指代前面的person，作同位语，其后接定语从句，从句缺少主语，关系代词不能省略。句意：汤姆是一个好强但随和的人，是一个不论选择什么职业都能成功的人。
8.【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词。前半句是一个完整的句子，后半部分是非谓语动词作结果状语，ruin后接宾语，表示主动，而且动作与句子的动作同时发生，故选现在分词的一般式。
9.【解析】选C。考查强调句型和主语从句。句意：是汤姆经常违反学校校规让他的老师对他不满意。本句是强调句型，被强调部分是主语从句that Tom often breaks the school rules。
10.【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。of whom more than 60, 000 are non-smokers是非限制性定语从句, 修饰people，non-smokers后又接非谓语动词作非限制性定语，expose使暴露，与被修饰词non-smokers之间是被动关系，该结构相当于定语从句who are exposed to second-hand smoke。

Ⅰ.单项填空
1．(2012·济南5月份练习)I have been working with Lily for years，and never before __________ her so serious!
A．I found B．I have found
C．did I find D．have I found
解析：选D。考查倒装句。否定副词never放于句首时，句子要用部分倒装，所以排除A、B两项。根据语境可知，这之前“我”从没有发现她这么严肃。故选D。
2．(2012·淄博模拟)________ the key to the car when my boss came towards me.Finally I could drive him home as usual.
A．Never had I found B．Seldom did I find
C．Hardly had I found D．No sooner did I find
解析：选C。考查倒装句。由语境知，“我”刚找到车钥匙，老板就朝“我”走来了。hardly...when...是固定句型，意为“刚……就……”。
3．(2012·临沂质量检测)Only when __________ to explain __________ the reason for this.
A．did he start；she realized
B．he started；did she realize
C．did he start；she had realized
D．he started；had she realized
解析：选B。考查倒装句。句意：只有当他解释时，她才意识到原因所在。若only后跟了副词、介词短语或从句等状语且置于句首时，则主句用倒装结构。故此处when引导从句不需要倒装，后面的主句需要倒装。即B项正确。
4．(2012·青岛第二次统一检测)The Japanese __________ suffering from the worst natural disasters __________.
A．are；ever since B．are；of all time
C．is；ever since D．is；of all time
解析：选B。考查主谓一致和介词短语辨析。句意：日本人遭受着有史以来最严重的自然灾害。主语the Japanese，表示复数概念，所以谓语动词用are；ever since“从那时起一直到现在”，通常与完成时连用，故排除。of all time意为“有史以来”，符合题意。故选B项。
5．(2012·太原模拟)More than a dozen students in that school ________abroad for further study every year.
A．sent B．are sent
C．have been sent D．have sent
解析：选B。句意：每年那所学校有十多个学生被送到国外深造。more than a dozen十多个，谓语动词用复数；另外，句子的时间状语为every year，所以用一般现在时。
6．(2012·南昌一模)When I try to understand________ that prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect，it seems to me that there are two causes.
A．why it does B．what it does
C．what it is D．why it is
解析：选C。根据宾语从句中的that和选项可以判断这是一个强调句型，宾语从句中缺少主语，所以只能用what来引导。
7．(2012·江西九校联考)________she is not so cheerful________she used to be?
A．How it is that；as B．How is it that；as
C．Is it why；that D．What is it that；what
解析：选B。句意：她怎么不像过去那样高兴了呢？强调句的特殊疑问句式：特殊疑问词＋is/was it that＋原句剩余部分？D项中的what不正确。
8．(2012·济南一中阶段测试)Hearing the bell ringing，out________.
A．rushing the children B．were rushing the children
C．rushed the children D．the children rushed
解析：选C。句意：听到铃声，孩子们冲了出来。表示方位的副词位于句首，且主语为名词时，该句要全部倒装，即：副词＋谓语动词＋主语。
9．(2012·湖南师大附中)—Mum，I am afraid I won’t do well in the coming test.
—Honey，________more careful，________you will make it.
A．is；so B．be；and
C．be；then D．being；and
解析：选B。句意：——妈妈，我恐怕考不好了。——宝贝，仔细些，你会考好的。考查“祈使句＋and＋简单句”这一结构，该句相当于“含if引导的条件状语从句的复合句”，即：If you are more careful，you will make it.。
