8．Why are you still working on this project? It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon and you're supposed ________(finish) it by noon.
答案：to have finished 考查非谓语动词。依据上文的“Why are you still working on this project？”及两个时间状语“4 o'clock in the afternoon和“by noon”可知，该项工作早应该完成了；而且be supposed后需接动词不定式结构，即be supposed to do...“应该做……/被认为做……”。因此该处应用不定式的完成式。
9．I suggested the thief referred to________(put) into prison.
答案：be put 句意：我建议所提到的小偷应该被送进监狱。此处referred to为过去分词短语作定语，修饰the thief，而从句中的谓语动词应用“(should)be＋过去分词”。

Ⅳ.阅读理解

Jeate Rankin was born on a ranch in Montana, USA in 1882. In those days, Montana was still a frontier stale, and life there was hard. Men and women shared the difficult outdoor work. But young Jeate noticed men and women were not equal in many ways. For instance, at election time, women were not allowed to vote. Jeate thought this was not fair, and several years later，after graduating from college, she realized how to help change the situation.
First, she joined with other women, and gave speeches through the state. Thanks to their years of efforts, Montana women were finally allowed to vote. This experience changed Jeate's life. She wanted to work for the welfare of women and children everywhere. She was now well known throughout Montana, so she decided to run for the US Congress. In 1916, she became the first woman in the Congress of the United States.
Just six days after Rankin first attended Congress in 1917, American President Wilson called for a vote to go to war against Germany, as German submarines (潜水艇) attacked American ships during World War I. When Jeate was called upon to vote，she said，“I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war. I vote no. ”Fortynine other congress members also voted no，but she was the person who was criticized most. Newspapers said her decision came from weakness and she was antiAmerican.
In the Second World War, Japanese warplanes attacked the American base at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The time came again for the US Congress members to vote for or against going to war. Everyone was waiting for Jeate Rankin to vote, who rose and said, “As a woman, I can't go to war, so I refuse to send anyone else” .Out of 471 members, she was the only member who voted against war. After that, she received thousands of letters. Most people criticized her, but some praised her for her courage.
Shortly before she died in 1973, she was asked if she regretted voting “no” to the two wars. “Never，” she answered. “If you are against war, you're against war regardless of what happens.”

(2014届深圳高三一调)
As the forceful king of Macedonia(马其顿), Alexander the Great overthrew the Persian Empire, being a hero that would survive centuries after his death.
Born in 356 B. C. , Alexander Ⅲ was the son of Philip Ⅱ and Olympias. Alexander's parents wanted him to receive the finest education, and arranged for him to study under Aristotle, regarded as one of the greatest scholars.
Alexander's father was a strong leader. Philip Ⅱ built an impressive army and established the Macedonian kingdom; he was even planning to attack Persia shortly before his death.
In 336 B. C. , Philip Ⅱ was murdered by one of his guards. Although it was obvious that the guard had a personal hatred, there were clues that other people were related to it.
After Alexander was cleared as a suspect, he succeeded his father without opposition, and killed those said to be responsible for his father's murder, as well as all rivals. He was then just 20 years old. He then prepared to attack Persia.
In the spring of 334 B. C. , Alexander/ed the army made up of nearly 50, 000 soldiers into Asia, which is called “the most powerful military expedition (远征) ever to leave Greece”. He soundly defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River, sending a strong message to Darius Ⅲ， leader of the Persian Empire.
In 333 B. C. , Alexander faced Darius at Issus, a mountain pass. The Macedonian army was greatly outnumbered but able to work the narrow mountain passageway to their advantage. Darius managed to escape. Continuing down the Mediterranean Coast, Alexander took every city in his path.
In 332 B. C. Alexander declared Egypt to be part of the Greek Empire and was crowned Pharaoh (法老)．
When Alexander left Egypt in 331 B. C．， he defeated the Persians again and was crowned leader of Asia.
In 323 B. C. , however, Alexander developed a fever on the way back home and died 10 days later at Babylon.He was just 33 years old.
