23、 through. But the worse was yet to come! I looked in my pockets and Jane looked in hers but there was no key.

28、sponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.问题:1. Don t be that serious; he is a _ child.A.fairB.mereC.rareD.slender答案:C本句的意思是：不要寻么认真，他只是一个小孩。 mere adj.意为“仅仅的；只不过的”，如：A mere child cannot do the work of a man一个小孩子是不能做成人工作的。fair adj.意为“美丽的，女性的，(肤色)白皙的，(头发)金黄的，干净的，公平的，(天气)

29、晴朗的”。rare adj.意为“罕见的；珍奇的”，如：That animal is very rare in our country那种动物在我的国家很稀有。slender adj.意为“苗条的；纤细的；修长的”，如：a slender figure细长的身材。问题:2. I m sorry to have taken up too much of your _ time.A.worthyB.valuableC.valuelessD.struck答案:D本句的意思是：很抱歉占用了你这么长宝贵的时间。priceless adj.意为“无价的；极贵重的”。worthy adj.意为“有价值的，应

30、的，可敬的，值得的，相称的”。valuable adj.意为“贵重的，有价值的”。valueless adj.意为“没价值的，没有用的”。问题:3. Although the town had been _ several times, little damage was done.A.attackedB.injuredC.harmedD.struck答案:A本句的意思是：尽管这个镇被袭击过好几次，但几乎没有受到什么损失。attack vt./vi.意为“进攻；攻击；抨击；批评；侵袭；伤害”，如：The enemy attacked on the left flank敌人向左翼进攻。injur

31、e vt意为“损害，伤害”，如：She was injured badly in an accident during the work她在一次工伤事故中受了重伤。 harm vt意为“损害；伤害；危害”，如：Getting up early wont harm you!早起对你没有坏处。struck是strike vt的过去分词，意为“打，撞击，冲击，罢工，打动”。问题:4. The salary of a taxi driver is much higher _.A.than a workerB.than that of a workC.to compare as a workerD.in

32、 comparison with a teacher答案:B本句的意思是：一个出租车司机的薪水要比一个工人的薪水高得多。在比较级中，比较的两个词必须一致。这儿比较的是“salary”，所以后面用that代替了。that和those有时用来代表前面提到的东西，以避免重复。that代表不可数名词或可数名词单数， those代表可数名词复数。如：These machines are better than those we turned out last year这些机28比我们去年生产的好。问题:5. If _ to a high temperature, ice will change to w

33、ater.A.heatingB.being heatedC.to heatD.heated答案:D本句的意思是：如果加热至高温，冰就会化成水：连词if后面可以直接跟分词表示条件。题干前半部分相当于：If it is heated to a high temperature。又如： If dropped at exactly the same time，the ball and the stone will hit the ground simultaneously如果将球和石头同时抛下，它们会同时落地。问题:6. We didn t know his telephone number; oth

34、erwise we _ him.A.would have calledB.must have calledC.would callD.had call答案:A本句的意思是：我们不知道他的电话号码，否则我们会打电话给他。本句中的otherwise引导的是一种与事实相反的假设条件，即实际上没有打电话，因，此应填入动词的虚拟语气。全句相当于：If we had known his telephone number，we would have called him，如果我们早先知道他的电话号码，我们就给他打电话了。问题:7. The second book was _ by August 1982,

35、but two years later, the end was still nowhere in sight.A.completedB.to have completedC.to completeD.to have been completed答案:D本句的意思是：这第二本书原计划在1982年8月完成，但两年之后何时结束还遥遥无期。表示“本打算完成而实际未完成”要用“连系动词be+完成式”结构。若选A，则was completed为过去式，表示过去完成了的动作，即“第二本书已经写完”，这与后半句“该书何时结束还遥遥无期”矛盾。complete是及物动词，本题主语是the second boo

36、k，所以要用被动语态。问题:8. _ should any money be given to a small child.A.On no accountB.Of no accountC.From all accountsD.By all account答案:A本句的意思是：绝对不能给小孩钱。on no ac count的意思是“绝对不”，放在句首作状语时，主谓应该倒装。再如：On no account should you cheat me你决不应该欺骗我。of no account的意思是“毫不重要”，在句中通常作表语和定语。如：These events are of no account

37、s in every aspect这些事情在任何方面都不重要。from all accounts和by all accounts的意思是“根据各种说法”，与题意及其结构不相符合。问题:9. Evidence came up _ special speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as six months old.A.whatB.thatC.whichD.whose答案:B本句的意思是：事实证明，仅六个月大的婴儿就能分辨出特别的语音。came up在本句的意思是“结果是”。空白处填入that后，实际上构成了evidence的同位语从句

38、，由于句子的主语太长，根据“尾重”的原则，将同位语从句部分放在谓语之后。what若放在句中空格处，句子结构不能成立。因为what引导名词性从句时总是在句中担当一定的成分。如：I dont know what he wrote in his letter我不知道他在信里写了些什么。(宾语) What calls for our concern is that pollution has greatly affected our lives值得我们关注的是，污染已经严重影响了我的生活。(主语) 而在题干中，空白之后的被动句主谓皆齐全，what无适当成分可充当，因此不是正确答案。选项C和 D只能使空

39、白以后部分变成定语从句，这样全句的意思就讲不通了。 问题:10. Gases are not like solids _ they have an infinite volume.A.at thatB.with thatC.for thatD.in that答案:D本句的意思是：气体跟固体不同，因为它们没有一定的体积。in that引导一个从句，意思是“因为”。其他三个选项都不合语法要求。再如：I like the city，but I like the country better in that/have more friends in the country我喜欢城市，但我更喜欢乡村，因

40、为在乡村我有更多的朋友。Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in. the brackets.

43、饰名词。问题:7. His parents felt (please) _ when Tom made achievement.答案:pleased句意：当汤姆取得成绩时，他的父母感到很开心。句中需用形容词性的词作主语补足语。问题:8.

44、d better是固定句型后接动词原形。问题:10. It (say) _ that he will come to our school today.答案:is said句意：据说他将来到我们学校。It is said that是固定句型。Part Reading ComprehensionTask 1 Most Americans don t like to get advice from members of their family.
