Part I Vocabulary and Structure
1. C【句意】战争结束的消息很快传遍了村庄。
【解析】 在idea, fact, news, belief, suggestion等词后用that 引起的从句作同位语,说明该名词的具体内容;同位语可以不紧跟在它说明的名词后面,而被别的词隔开。
2. A【句意】我们匆忙赶到火车站时却发现早到了三个小时。
【解析】动词不定式在句中可用来作目的、结果状语。only to do(不料却)表示“结果”;in order to和so as to意思均为“以便,为了”,表达“目的”;such as to “到如此的程度以致”,例如:Her kindness was such as to make us all love her. 根据题意,应选A。
3. D【句意】本来我要给你打电话的,遗憾的是我忘记了。
【解析】动词mean 后,可用动名词作宾语,也可用不定式作宾语,但意义差别很大,mean doing 是“意味着”而mean to do是“意欲,打算做”的意思。接动词不定式和动名词有区别的动词还有remember,forget, stop, go on 和regret等,总的来说,与这类动词连用时,动名词指发生于这些动词之前的事,不定式表示发生在它们之后的事。
4. B【句意】在我们所生活的这个时代,人们的流动性比历史上任何一个时期都大。
【解析】先行词a time,在定语从句中作时间状语,故选择表示时间的关系副词when。
5. A【句意】 价格有可能再降低吗?
【解析】to get something done 结构常用来表示使某事得以做成,所以选择A。
6. C【句意】 要不是你身体不适无法外出,今晚我真不愿意呆在家里。
【解析】unless经常用来代替if not,表达“如果A不受阻于B, A将发生”。其它选项使句子语义不符合逻辑。因此正确答案为C。
7. D【句意】因为错误百出,要求她把这些信重新打出来。
【解析】 在make, let, have, see, hear, feel, watch, notice等动词后面的作宾语补足语的不定式,要省略to。但句子变成被动结构时就必须带to。
8. D【句意】天又热又干,花需要浇水了。
【解析】在demand, deserve, need, require, want等动词后面,动名词的主动形式表示被动的意思,若改接动词不定式,则必须用动词不定式的被动形式。The flowers need watering. = The flowers needs to be watered.
9. B【句意】他开始讲解了这个的位置,接着又告诉了我们这个的气候情况。
【解析】go on doing sth. 表示“继续做一直在做的事”,而go on to do表示“改做另一件事”,讲解的位置和告诉的气候情况是两件不同的事,所以应该使用动词不定式。
10. C【句意】对现代生活的不适应经常会给我们的工作带来困扰。
【解析】adopt“收养;采用”;apply“申请;应用”;adapt“适应”;act “表演;做”。
11. A【句意】一旦认为有搬家的必要,他就竭力去找一所新房子。
【解析】 convince 的固定用法是convince sb. of sth.,“使某人相信”,本句中he与convince 是动宾关系,应该用被动语态。当从句中的主语与句子的主语一致时,可同时省去从句中的主语和系动词。因此正确答案是A。
12. C【句意】因为许多代表缺席,所以会议被推迟了。
【解析】 独立主格。由句子结构可以看出,空缺处应填入非谓语动词,所以排除选项A和D。现在分词短语可用作状语表示原因,相当于一个表示原因的状语从句:So many representatives being absent = Because so many representatives were absent。B选项to be absent 无此用法。
13. C【句意】 绝不要阻止学生对新思想的探究。
【解析】 句首有否定词或否定短语时,句子要部分倒装。常见的否定词有never, hardly, scarcely, little, seldom, not, not until, rarely, no sooner… than, nowhere等;常见的否定短语有in no case, in no way, by no means, in no sense, under no circumstances等。
14. A【句意】 既然汤姆没有工作经验,我认为安排他做这项工作是不合适的。
【解析】在有advisable, important, necessary, strange, vital等形容词的句子的名词性从句中谓语动词使用虚拟形式:(should)+动词原形,这类形容词一般表示个人对事件的反应。
15. C【句意】因为手头有这些活儿,她昨晚不应该去参加舞会。
【解析】从句意看,她已经参加了晚会。should not have done表示做了本不应该做的事,有埋怨的意思。所以最佳答案是C。
16. B【句意】圣诞节来临的时候,这个小镇开始了大规模的大扫除。
【解析】 through “通过”;thorough “彻底的;全面的”;though “尽管”;thought “思想;想法”。
17. D【句意】使用E-mail写信已经成为人们与远方的人进行交流的寻常方式。
【解析】communication with 是固定搭配,表达“与…进行交流”的意思。

【解析】 number“数字”,后跟可数名词。而amount“数量”,后跟不可数名词。
19. D【句意】恐怕我的车内没有你的地方了。
【解析】选项A, B, C都是可数名词单数,但没有不定冠词,所以都被排除;D选项room在表示“空间”含义时是不可数名词,所以为最佳答案。
20. B【句意】我突然想到可以使用计算机来做这项工作。
【解析】 It occurs to sb. that是常用句型,“某人突然想起”的意思。
21. A【句意】因为想有个做伴的,所以老年人经常会养宠物。

22. C【句意】这的河非常宽但是很浅,所以你可以趟过去。
【解析】 narrow“狭窄”;arrow“箭”;shallow“浅的”;hollow“空的”。
23. D【句意】要不是有警察在值勤,大街上是空无一人。
【解析】except for和except意思均为“除了…之外”,两者的区别在于:(1)except for可用于句首,而except不行;(2)except后可跟介词短语或从句,except for 不行;如:He was seen walking with a stick every day except when he was ill in bed.(3)前后有表示同一类事物的名词就用except, 否则就用except for,如:The essays are well written except for a few mistakes in grammar. besides表示“除了……还有;excepting是介词,表示“除了一个之外……”,如:Jack answered all the questions excepting the last one.
24. B【句意】别把火柴和香烟放在小孩子能够到的桌子上。
【解析】 within (the) reach 是“伸手可及”的意思,反义词组是out of / beyond (the) reach。

27. B【句意】我父亲每隔一天有课:星期一、星期三和星期五。
【解析】 each other “彼此”;every other “每隔”;this, that and the others 又作 this and that “形形色色的东西;各种不同的话题”;all other“所有其他”。
28. B【句意】今天早上,杰克像往常一样上学迟到了。

29. C【句意】我发胖了。医生告诫我不要再吃糖了。
【解析】keep up “继续;跟上;使不下降”;keep back “隐瞒;扣除”;keep off “防止;避开;使…免受影响”;keep away from“(使)远离”。
