    1.【答案】B。

    【解析】motor发动机或装有发动机的车辆; carriage马车；transport交通；vehicle泛指车辆等一切交通工具。文中所谈车辆是靠电池充电行进的，显然不属于motor。

    2.【答案】D。

    【解析】go into existence存在，若用此处，则有这种公汽在曼彻斯特被发明之意；结合本句后半部分，另一批公汽将投入使用，所以这是首批投入使用的。go into operation实施，执行。

    3.【答案】A。来源：www.examda.com

    【解析】有一类动词可接动词不定式作复合宾语，如本题中的expect和wish，但wish用于此结构表want(需要)之意。

    4.【答案】A。

    【解析】more表“另外的”之意时，前面不能用不定冠词a，(因为有another代表此意)。give me two more apples(再给我两个苹果)；much为副词，不能修饰batch, further和farther，同为far的比较级，一个意指抽象“进一步”，一个意指具体“更远”。

    5.【答案】C。

    【解析】average平均的；common普遍的；average flower普通的花，强调不特别，随处可见，不与passenger service相搭配。regular定期的；typical典型的。

    10.【答案】C。

    【解析】参照文章第五行going into regular passenger service。提示：这种汽车要服务于民。而且本句上半部分“那些政府资助的汽车正在试用”，与之对应。“我们这种与它们不同，马上要真正服务于民”。

    Passage 12

    “Is the plane strong enough?” I asked myself when I saw my aeroplane. We saw luggage __1__ to it on trolleys and being loaded from under the aircraft.

    9. A. general B. similar C. common D. sharp

    10. A. smiled B. spoke C. added D. acted

    1.【答案】A。

    【解析】用动词go，则luggage与go关系为主谓，所以用现在分词。用take或make，则luggage与它们关系为动宾，应用过去分词。

    2.【答案】B。

    【解析】clothes衣服总称；uniform制服；form形式；uniformity一致性。此处主要考核学生词汇量，后面都有form，意义有何区别。

    3.【答案】D。

    【解析】根据上下文，是机场广播“传达某种信息”，即旅客被“告知”，其习惯表达是“to be told…”。其它三个选择项都与上下文无关。

    4.【答案】C。

    【解析】“be unable to do sth.”是“不能够……”，后必须接不定式做状语，因此选unable既符合语法要求，又合题意。而B)应是“be incapable of sth.”是指“无能力的”，“不能的”；D)应是 “be unsuitable for sth.”是指“不合适的”，“不适当的。

    5.【答案】A。

    【解析】seat belt指“安全带”。B. C. D选项均不合题意。

    7.【答案】A。

    【解析】“noticed是指“注意到”。这只是对过去所发生事情的一般叙述，即经过一小时飞行之后所看到事情，涉及不到过去将来和过去完成时态。

    8.【答案】A。

    【解析】on表示电路等接通，灯等开着。

    9.【答案】B。

    【解析】“similar”类似的；general总体的；common普通的；sharp尖的，辛辣的。

    10.【答案】C。

    【解析】smiled与acted和文中“over the loudspeakers”相矛盾，因为通过“loudspeakers”讲话，所以根本看不到“smiled”和“acted”的表情动作。
