21、 D ). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.问题:1. The computer works shockingly fast, _ various data at the speed of light.A.having handledC.handledB.handlingD.handles答案:B现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随状态，其逻辑上的主语应与句子的主语一致，即handle这个动作是主语computer做出的动作。句

22、意：计算机以光的速度处理各种数据，工作速度惊人。问题:2. The production of too many useful things results _ too many useless people.A.fromC.upB.outD.in答案:D“result from”表示“起因于”；“因引起”之意，result in表示“造成的结果，导致”的意思。句意：太多有用的东西的产生导致了太多无用的人。问题:3. I felt somewhat disappointed and was about to leave _ something occurred which attracted

23、my attention.A.unlessC.whenB.untilD.while答案:C句意：我感到有些失望，正要离开时，发生了一件事，吸引了我的注意力。连词when在这里表示“这时”，相当于at that time。unless表示“除非”，与句意不符。while相当于during the time that，表示主句的动作是在从句动作进行期间发生，在这里也不符。until表示“直到”，与句意不合。问题:4. Mary has got a full mark in the test. She _ very hard all these days.A.will workC.could hav

24、e workedB.may workD.must have worked答案:D句意：玛丽在考试中得了满分，这些日子她一定非常用功。用must have worked表示肯定地推测，符合句意。could have worked仅表示一种可能性，与前句“她得了满分”衔接不上来。问题:5. Tourists often surprised at _ so many flat and good roads in the mountainous regions.A.there areC.there to beB.there beingD.there were答案:B介词后面接名词或动名词做宾语。the

25、re is(或are)的动名词形式是there being，故B为正确答案。at后不能接从句，所以A和D都错。there to be是there be的不定式形式，不能做介词的宾语，故也错误。句意：看到山区有如此多的平坦大道，旅客感到很吃惊。问题:6. _ that our knocking could not wake him up.A.So deeply he sleptC.Did he sleep so deeplyB.So deeply did he sleepD.Deeply he slept答案:B该句句型为sothat，意为“如此以致”。当so置于整个句子之前时，其主谓结构需倒装

26、。句意：他睡得如此的熟，我们敲门都弄不醒他。问题:7. I dont remember the name of the English teacher, _ course I took last semester.A.whichC.thatB.theD.whose答案:D用whose引导非限制性定语丛句，同时作从句的定语。句意：我记不起这位英语老师的名字，我上个学期选了她的课。问题:8.

27、s time(that)句型中，从句的谓语常用虚拟语气，且动词用过去式。从句可以用动词不定式来代替。It is high time是“早该”之意。句意：室友叫醒我，说：“我们早该起床了!”问题:9. The more we look at the painted picture hung on the wall, _.A.we like it lessC.the less we like itB.less we like itD.we less like it答案:C此句为形容词(或副词)比较级的一个特殊句型：The+比较级，the+比较级，意为“越来越”。句意：挂在墙上的那幅油画看得越多，我

28、们就越不喜欢它。问题:10. _ much of their land is poor and only ten percent of the land can be cultivated, over ninety percent of the population are agricultural workers.A.ExceptC.BecauseB.AlthoughD.So far as答案:B句意：尽管他们的大部分土地是贫瘠的，且只有10%的可耕地，但90%以上的人口是农业工人。except表示“除之外”，because表示“因为”，so far as表示“至于，尽”，明显与句意不符。a

29、lthough表示“虽然”，可用于句首，引导让步状语从句。Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.问题:1. All are on sale in the shopping centre. It is

But for the English examination, I would (go) _ to

31、 the piano concert with you last Sunday.答案:have goneBut for是虚拟语气的标志，意为“要不是”。从时间状语last Sunday可知，这是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，故主句谓语用would have done形式。句意：要不是英语考试，我上个星期天会和你一起去听钢琴演奏会的。问题:4. Quite a few (experiment) _ tests have been done, but none of them could help to cure the patient.答案:experimental因为text前需用形容词来修饰，且

32、experiment的形容词表示“实验性的”，在意思上通顺，故填experimental。句意：(医生)做了很多实验性的测试，但没有一次测试能治愈这位病人。问题:5. Many a man _ (think) life is meaningless without a purpose.答案:thinks由many a或more than one构成的主语，尽管表示的是复数概念，但它的谓语动词仍需采用单数形式。句意：许多人认为，没有目的生活是毫无意义的。问题:6.

34、te (free) _ of action in dealing with this matter.答案:freedom由complete和of可知，此处应填名词，故填freedom。句意：你在处理这件事时，享有充分的行动自由权。问题:9.
