29、t _ it and hope it will go away. 答案:ignore解析 本题询问的是讲话者建议我们犯错后不要做什么。短文中提到，如果犯了错，第一步是要承认错误，不要忽略错误也不要寄希望于它能自己消失。对比题干和录音中的信息，可以确定答案为ignore。3. Why should we say sorry when we mess things up?

32、uired to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.问题:1. It was not until the next morning _ the parents discovered the children

33、did not returned home last night.A.whichB.whoC.thatD.what答案:C解析 本题考查强调句型。强调句型一般由“It is/was+被强调成分+that+其他成分”构成，用来强调句子中的某个成分，强调人时，连接词可用who或whom，被强调的成分可以是主语、宾语或状语等。本题中强调not until引导的状语，因此应该使用连接词that。由此确定本题答案为C。问题:2. _ is known to us all, the moon moves around the earth.A.ThatB.AsC.WhichD.It答案:B解析 本题考查固定

34、结构。在as is known to all这一固定结构中，as引导的是非限制性定语从句，这一结构可以放在主句之前，也可以放在其后，意思为“众所周知”，所以确定B为本题的答案。问题:3. How I wish that I _ English well when I was in college!A.had learnedB.learnedC.would learnD.would have learned答案:A解析 本题考查虚拟语气。动词wish后接宾语从句时，从句要用虚拟语气。从句内容如果与现在事实相反，从句谓语动词用过去式；从句内容如果与过去事实相反，从句谓语动词用过去完成式；若表示将来

35、没有把握或不太可能实现的愿望，用“would/should/could/might+动词原形”结构。在本题中，that引导的宾语从句中出现了表示过去的时间状语从句when I was in college，因此谓语动词应该使用过去完成式。由此确定本题的答案为A。问题:4. It _ about seven oclock when Tom returned home for it was already dark outside.A.must beB.must have beenC.was to beD.had to be答案:B解析 本题考查情态动词。must在表示对现在的状态或现在正在发生的

36、事情进行推测时，后面通常接系动词be；表示对已经发生的事情进行推测时，must后面要接完成式。本题中，由原因状语从句it was already dark outside可推知，事情发生在过去的时间，因此谓语需要使用“must+完成式”的结构，故确定本题的答案为B。问题:5. He has no choice but _ back home to wait for the final result.A.goB.goesC.wentD.to go答案:D解析 本题考查动词不定式。当动词不定式在介词but后面时，如果but之前有行为动词do的某种形式，那么but后的不定式不带to，否则就要带to。

37、本题中but前没有行为动词do的任何形式，因此but后应保留不定式符号to。由此确定本题答案为D。问题:6. In winter, most animals have a hard time _ anything to eat.A.to findB.to findingC.to find outD.finding答案:D解析 本题考查同定结构。have a hard time后面需要接in doing结构，其中in可以省略，表示“做很有困难”。由此确定D为本题的答案。类似的结构还有have difficulty/trouble (in) doing sth.，表示“做有困难/有麻烦”。问题:7

38、. They are _ students that they all performed well in the final examinations.A.such diligentB.so diligentC.so much diligentD.such very diligent答案:A解析 本题考查“such.that.”结构与“so.that.”结构的区别。这两个结构意思均为“如此以至于”。such是限定词，后面接名词。而so是副词，后面接形容词或副词。由于空格后面的中心词是名词students，所以应该用such来修饰。由此确定本题的答案为A。问题:8. _ the great d

39、ifferences between them, they fell in love with each other at first sight.A.In spiteB.AlthoughC.DespiteD.Despite of答案:C解析 本题考查同义词辨析。选项中给出的同语或短语意思相近，但是形式和用法上有所区别。in spite of和despite的意思是“尽管，不管”，后面需要接名词，表示让步关系；although为连词，意思为“虽然，尽管”，后面需要接句子，表示让步关系。本题中空格后面为名词the great differences，因此应该使用in spite of或者desp

40、ite，由此确定本题答案为C。问题:9. If you are now _, you need to do more exercises to build your body.A.in fortiesB.in your fortyC.in the fortiesD.in your forties答案:D解析 本题考查固定用法。本题考查“在某人四十多岁的时候”的说法，正确的表达形式为in ones forties。由此确定本题的答案为D。问题:10. This is the dictionary _ I depend a lot whenever I have problems with new

41、 words.A.with whichB.on whichC.with whatD.on that答案:B解析 本题考查定语从句。在本题中，定语从句的先行词为dictionary，其谓语动词是depend，它需要与介词on搭配。由于介词一般不放在定语从句的末尾，所以需要将on提至关系代词前，而介词后面的关系代词只能用which，由此确定本题的答案为B。Section BDirections: There are 5 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word

42、 given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.问题:1. If the director were to come here, he (tell) _ us the details about this matter.答案:would tell解析 本题考查由if引导的虚拟条件句。在if引导的虚拟条件句中，从句若用过去时，主句则用过去将来时，故答案为would tell。问题:2. A group (consist) _ of 150 volunteers w

43、orked eight hours in the community on Saturdays to help the poor.答案:consisting解析 本题考查现在分词。本句主干为A group worked eight hours。空格处应为现在分词或过去分词作后置定语修饰group。又因为动词consist和主语A group为主动关系，故空格处应填现在分词consisting。问题:3. Living in so far a place, I felt (separate) _ from the world that I was familiar with.答案:separat

44、ed解析 本题考查过去分词。动词feel(过去式为felt)既可作系动词，也可作行为动词。作系动词时，其后可接动词过去分词作表语，本题即属此类用法，故空格处填入separate的过去分词形式separated。问题:4. (see) _ from the window of the plane, the city looks cleaner and more beautiful.答案:Seen解析 本题考查过去分词。本句中逗号后为一个完整的句子，由此判断逗号前面部分应为句子的状语，因此空格应填非谓语动词。因为动词see与其逻辑主语the city为被动关系，所以空格处应填see的过去分词形式，

45、又因为空格位于句首，所以应填入Seen。问题:5. Im glad to find that this new head teacher is (responsible) _ than the last one.答案:more responsible解析 本题考查形容词比较级。空格前为be动词，空格后为比较级标志词than，因此空格处需填入形容词比较级，故答案为responsible的比较级形式more responsible。Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your reading ability.

55、s lacked money, so colleges were opened.D.It was more expensive for students to live in colleges than in lodgings.答案:D解析 根据文章第二段第一、二句可知，这个城镇先于剑桥城存在，后来到13世纪成为一个学习中心，由此推断选项A和B正确；由该段第三、四句可知，那时大学生贫穷，付不起住宿费，因此大学里开始有一些学院为学生提供便宜的住宿，因此C正确，D错误。因此本题答案为D。4. What is impossible for the students to do in Cambridg

56、e?A.Having all the meals outside the college each week.B.Keeping bikes in the college.C.Living in lodgings.D.Living in college for their final year of the course.答案:A解析 根据文章第三段最后一句可知，每个学生从一入校就是学院的一员，每周都必须在学院食堂吃几顿饭。因此本题答案为A。5.
