【解析】指人的先行词people在非限制性定语从句中充当主语，所以用关系代词who引导。故选B项。 【举一反三】由who引导的定语从句

关系代词who只能指人，在从句中作主语或宾语。如： A teacher is a person who passes knowledge to the student. 教师是传授知识的人。（关系代词在从句中作主语） The man who can do this work will get 1000 dollars.

能够做此工作的人将获得1000美元。（关系代词who在从句中作主语） 【难度】一般

23. Sophia waited for a reply, but ____ came. A. either B. another

C. neither D. none

23. 【考点】代词辨析—neither/ none 【答案】D

【解析】句意为：Sophia等候答复，但没有任何答复。根据转折连词but可知，此处应用表示否定意义的代词，所以排除A项和B项。neither意为“两者都不”；none意为“三者或三者以上都不”。根据前半句中的“a reply”提示可知，故选D项。 【难度】一般

24. ---Don't worry, Mum. The doctor said it was only the flu.

A. What a relief B. Congratulations C. How surprising D. I'm so sorry 24. 【考点】交际用语—安慰 【答案】A

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试江苏卷(英语)解析版

25. 【考点】特殊句式—反义问句 【答案】A

【解析】根据前面there be 句里含有否定意义的词little，所以反意疑问句用肯定形式，其主谓应与陈述部分的主谓保持一致，故选A项。

【举一反三】陈述部分如含有”never/hardly/scarcely/seldom/little/few/nobody/nothing…”等否定词或半否定词时，这部分应视为否定形式，简短问句就用肯定形式。如： He was hardly twelve then，was he?他当时几乎不到十二岁，是吗?

陈述部分含有带”否定”前缀的词，则这部分应看做肯定形式，简短问句就用否定形式。如： she dislikes the way you work，doesn t she?她不喜欢你的工作方式，对吗? 【难度】一般

C. whether

D. how

D. run away from

27. 【考点】名词性从句-同位语从句 【答案】B

【解析】句意为：会议将被延期的通知大约下午两点钟来。空格后的句子是解释说明名词the notice，作同位语从句，在从句中不做任何成分，所以用that引导。

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试江苏卷(英语)解析版

【举一反三】同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。 1.同位语从句的功能

同位语从句对名词进一步解释，说明名词的具体内容，一般由that引导。如： The king s decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people. 国王作出的这名囚犯释放的决定让人们大吃一惊。 2.同位语在句子中的位置

同位语从句有时可以不紧跟在它所说明的名词后面，而是被别的词隔开。如： He got the news from Mary that the sports meeting was put off. 他从玛丽那里得知运动会要延期举行。 3.同位语从句与定语从句的区别

1)定语从句中的that既代替先行词，同时在从句中作某个成分（主语或宾语），而同位语从句中的that是连词，只起连接主句与从句的作用，不充当句中任何成分。

2)定语从句是形容词性的，其功能是修饰先行词，对先行词加以限定，描述它的性质或特征；同位语从句是名词性的，其功能是对名词进行补充说明。如： The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.

他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。（第一个that引导的从句是定语从句，that在从句中作宾语） The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.

汤姆将出国的消息是他讲的。（同位语从句，that在句中不作任何成分）

【试题延伸】(2011·天津)Modern science has given clear evidence ____________smoking can lead to many diseases.

A. what B. which C. that D. where）]

点拨. C。题意：抽烟会导致多种疾病，对此现代科学已经给出了明确的证据。本题考查名词性从句(同位语从句)。evidence后的从句说明的是其具体内容，从句中不缺少句子成分，故用that引导同位语从句。 其他三项引导同位语从句都要在从句中作成分。 【难度】一般

28. Days later, my brother called to say he was all right, but say where he was. A. mustn't

B. shouldn't

C. wouldn't

D. mightn't

28. 【考点】情态动词—would 【答案】C

【解析】mustn t意为“禁止”；shouldn t意为“不应该”；wouldn t意为“不愿意”；mightn t意为“或许不”。句意为：几天后，我哥哥打电话说他一切很好，但不愿意说他在哪儿。根据句意可知，应选C项。

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试江苏卷(英语)解析版

【难度】一般

29. — Thank God you're safe!

—I stepped back, just ______ to avoid the racing car. A. in time

B. in case

30. One's life has value __ one brings value to the life of others. A. so that 30. 【考点】连词 【答案】C

【解析】as long as意为“只要”；so that意为“以便；因此”；no matter how意为“不管怎样”；except that意为“除了”。句意为：只要一个人给别人的生活带来价值，那么他的生命就有价值。，根据题意，应选C项。 【难度】一般

31. _____ an important decision more on emotion than on reason, you will regret it sooner or later. A. Based

B. Basing

C. Base

D. To base

B. no matter how C. as long as

D. except that

31. 【考点】非谓语动词—动词现在分词做状语 【答案】B

【解析】动词base与逻辑主语you之间构成主谓关系，所以用现在分词作状语，故选B项。 【举一反三】1）现在分词的主动语态：

现在分词主动语态的一般式表示与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，完成式表示的动作在谓语动词所表示的动作之前发生，常作状语。如：

They went to the park, singing and talking. 他们边唱边说向公园走去。 Having done his homework, he played basketball.做完作业，他开始打篮球。 2）现在分词的被动语态：

一般式表示与谓语动词同时发生的被动的动作，完成式表示发生在谓语动词之前的被动的动作。 The problem being discussed is very important.正在被讨论的问题很重要。 Having been told many times, the naughty boy made the same mistake. 被告诉了好几遍，这个淘气的孩子又犯了同一个错误。

【试题延伸】(2011·辽宁). ____________around the fire, the tourists danced with the local people. A. Gather B. To gather C. Gathering D. To be gathering

点拨. C。题意：游客们围在火堆旁，与当地人一起跳舞。本题考查非谓语动词。句子主语the tourists是动词gather的执行者，二者是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。 【难度】较难

32. The manager is said to have arrived back from Paris where he________ some European partners. A. would meet B. is meeting

C. meets

D. had met

32. 【考点】动词的时态和语态—过去完成时 【答案】D

【解析】根据句中“is said to have arrived”可知，arrive这个动作是在过去发生的，而会面的动作则在arrive的动作之前发生的，即在过去的过去发生的动作，所以用过去完成时，故选D项。

【易错点拨】本题时态选择的关键是根据“is said to have arrived”可知，这一动作发生在过去，因此“会面”这个动作是在到达之前发生的，所以用过去完成时。 【难度】较难

33. — Honey, the cats stuck in the tree. Can you turn off the TV and get a ladder…? —Oh, it jumped off. _______ . A. Never mind B. All right 33. 【考点】交际用语—安慰 【答案】A

【解析】A项意为“别介意，别放在心上”，。B项意为“好吧”；C项意为“没问题”；D项意为“当心”。 句意为：亲爱的，那只猫被困在树上。你可以关电视，拿梯子 ？——哦，它会跳下来。别放在心上。根据上面是在担心，故后面是安慰，故选A项。 【难度】一般

34. The president hopes that the people will be better off when he quits than when he________. A. has started B. starts 34. 【考点】动词时态—一般过去时 【答案】C

【解析】句意为：这位总统希望人民在他离任时比他刚上任时更富有。根据句意，总统开始上任是过去发生的动作，所以用一般过去时。故选C项。

【易错分析】考生容易根据when he quits而误选B项。事实上when he quits中的quits是用了一般现在时来代替一般将来时。

C. No problem D. Take care

C. started D. will start

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试江苏卷(英语)解析版

【难度】较难 35. — Happy birthday!

—Thank you! It s the best present I_____ for. A. should have wished C. may have wished

35. 【考点】情态动词+完成式 【答案】D

【解析】A项意为“本应该期望而实际上并非如此”；B项意为“一定希望”；C项意为“也许希望”；D项意为“可能希望”。句意为：——生日快乐！——谢谢你！这是我所能期望的最好的礼物了。根据句意可知，应选D项。

【举一反三】情态动词＋have+过去分词表示与过去事实上相反的情况，也是高考单项选择题涉及到情态动词的一个重要方面。高考对情态动词表示虚拟 用法，表示与过去事实相反的情况。近几年高考，主要侧重should （not）have done 这一句式上，表示本来不该做却做了或本来该做却未做的事，在复习时，还应关注其它几种虚拟形式，如need (not)have done 表示本来需要做而未做或本来不需要而做的事等等，以做到有备无患。

【试题延伸】.Oh, I m not feeling well in the stomach. I______so much fried chicken just now. A. shouldn t eat B. mustn t have eaten C. shouldn t have eaten D. mustn t eat

【解析】该句所表达的意思是刚才我不因该吃那么多炸鸡，而实际上是吃了那么多，可以判断用shouldn t have eaten. 答案是 C。 【难度】一般

Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across Americas farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The country's fanners are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National

B. race, nationality and sex D. age, sex and marriage

agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of fanners is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.

Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of .America's farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of "useless" college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.

“There couldn't be anything that's more incorrect," Merrigan said. "We know that there aren't enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.

In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.

“I truly believe we're at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows," said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. "Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture. " The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers' Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.

Ryan Best, president of Future Fanners of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21 -year-old Best hopes his message-that this is the innovations ( 创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been,” he said. “there s really a place for everybody to fit in.” 59. What is the new challenge to American agriculture? A. Fewer and older farmers. C. More natural disasters.

B. Higher fuel prices. D. Lower agricultural output.

60.Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country? A. To draw federal agriculture officials' attention. B. To select qualified agriculture graduates. C. To clarify a recent blog posting.

D. To talk more students into farming careers

61. According to Matt Rush, American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people

Medical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger(引发) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks—burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR,近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.

The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn't new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb cither ultraviolet (UV,紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds(化合物) chemical changes.

That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called o-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.

absorb NIR well and go through

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试江苏卷(英语)解析版

So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that's even better. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive(易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What's more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.

63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?

A. Temperature change. C. Acidity change.

64. Why in ONB unsatisfactory?

A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release. C. It has not come onto the market up till now. D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.

Franz Kafka wrote that I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn't seem to require any explanation.

We d just finished John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. "Are you crying?" one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. "I am," I told her, "and the funny thing is I've read it many times. "

But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I've taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel's terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).

For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school--one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan's upper classes—into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional "cultural capital" could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph.
