51. The biggest whale is ______ blue whale, which grows to be about 29 meters long — the height of ______ 9-story building.

A. the; the

B. a; a

C. a; the

D. the; a

【答案】D。解析：考查冠词。句意：最大的鲸鱼是蓝鲸，可以长到大约29米长——其高度相当于一座9层楼的高度。前一空格处是“the+单数可数名词”表类指;后一个空格处是泛指。故D选项正确。

52. — Could you do me a favor and take these books to my office?

— Yes, _____.

A. for pleasure

B. I could

C. my pleasure

D. with pleasure

【答案】D。解析：考查情景交际。句意：——你能帮我个忙，把这些书拿到我的办公室吗?——可以，乐意效劳。for pleasure为了消遣;I could我可以，但表示允许、同意时不用could用can;my pleasure我的荣幸，不客气;with pleasure乐意效劳，表示愿意帮助别人。故选D。

53. Congratulations! The Long March 5B carrier rocket (运载火箭), successfully went into space ______ April 5, 2020.

A. in

B. on

C. at

D. for

【答案】B。解析：考查介词的基本用法。句意：祝贺!长征5号B运载火箭于2020年4月5日成功升空。in用在某年、某月或季节的前面;on用在星期几或具体的某一天的前面;at用在某一时刻的前面;for用在一段时间前。April 5, 2020为具体的某一天，故选B。

54. I _____ my job at the end of the first month because I couldn’t put up with the critical manager any longer.

A. recommended

B. quit

C. refused

D. rejected

【答案】B。解析：考查动词辨析。句意：我在第一个月底就辞职了，因为我再也不能忍受那个吹毛求疵的经理了。recommended推荐;quit离开，停止;refused拒绝;rejected排斥，抛弃。根据空后because I couldn’t put up with the critical manager any longer可知，因为受不了那个经理，辞职了，所以需用动词quit。故选B。

55. The company ______ the chairman’s new plan.

A. adopted

B. took

C. agreed

D. elected

【答案】A。解析：考查动词辨析。句意：公司采纳了董事长的新计划。adopt采纳，收养;take拿;agree同意;elect选举。根据句意，故选A。

56. — Never in my life _____ such an embarrassment. They threw apples at me.

— Well, fortunately watermelons are out of season.

A. I received

B. was I received

C. did I received

D. have I received

【答案】D。解析：考查倒装句和时态。句意：——我这辈子从来没有遇到过如此难堪的事。他们朝我扔苹果。——幸运的是，西瓜是过季的。表否定的副词Never置于句首，句子要使用部分倒装结构，故排除A。根据句意可知，此处表达“我这辈子从来没有遇到过如此难堪的事”，即从出生到现在，所以要用现在完成时。故选D。

57. — Are you coming to Jeff’s party?

— I’m not sure. I _____ go to the concert instead.

A. must

B. would

C. should

D. might

【答案】D。解析：考查情态动词。句意：——你来参加Jeff的聚会吗?——我不确定。我可能会去听音乐会。must必须;would将要;should应该;might可能。根据I’m not sure. 可知，这里是不太有把握的推测，用might。故选D。

58. I have ______ more dollars than you do, so let me pay for you.

A. a few

B. few

C. a little

D. little

【答案】C。解析：考查比较级修饰词。句意：我的钱比你多一点，所以让我来付款吧。few和a few修饰可数名词，little和a little修饰不可数名词;few和little表示否定含义，意为“不多”;a few和a little表示肯定，意为“(虽少但)有一些”。以上四个词中，只有a little可以修饰形容词比较级，故答案选C。

59. The garden is becoming ______.

A. more beautiful and more

B. more beautiful and beautiful

C. more and more beautiful

D. more beautiful and beautiful

【答案】C。解析：考查形容词比较级。句意：这个花园正变得越来越漂亮。“比较级+and+比较级”表示“越来越……”，其中多音节形容词用于此结构时需变成more and more+adj.原级。故选C。

60. _____ an arrangement to postpone the house project in the village, we moved to discuss _____ we should carry out the farming modernization there.

A. Having made; when

B. Making; what

C. Having made; that

D. Making; where

【答案】A。解析：考查非谓语动词和宾语从句。句意：在作出推迟该村建房工程的安排后，我们开始讨论何时在该村实施农业现代化。make an arrangement作出安排。分析句子结构可知，句首的make在句中作非谓语动词，和主语we之间为主动关系，且make an arrangement的动作发生在谓语动词moved to discuss之前，故用现在分词的完成式，即Having made;第二空为宾语从句，且宾语从句中不缺主干成分，此处缺少时间状语，用when。故选A。
