Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a ,single line through the center. 问题:1. _you sow, you shall mow.A.NowB.AfterC.A

27、sD.If答案:C考点分析 题目中所缺部位要引导的是表原因的状语从句，意为“既然”，表明的原因是已知的事实，这种表达可用since或as；而now“现在”；after“在之后”；还有If“如果”都无法表达这种意思，与句意不合；故选C)；注意点：连词；句意：种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆；类似结构：since意为“既然”的时候，也有此用法。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，res

28、ult 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. Where is my watch?

The new drug will not be put on

29、 the market_it has proved safe on humansA.ifB.untilC.sinceD.when答案:B考点 连词辨义及notuntil结构 解析 分析句子可知，此处需要使用时间状语从句形式，not一词经常和until一起使用，意为“直到才”，该结构经常用来引导时间状语，所以B)为正确答案。 避错 if用来引导条件状语，since引导时间状语、原因状语从句，when引导时间状语，意为“当时候”，因此可以排除。 问题:5. I wish they_ in their ball game.A.will be succeededB.succeededC.would b

30、e successfulD.were success答案:B答案精解 句意：他们要是在球赛中赢了该多好啊。该题考查的是虚拟语气。wish后的从句用虚拟语气，这里是现在时。问题:6.

31、le call position.(我不在乎人们所说的地位。) 避错 本题中宾语从句的谓语动词seen为及物动词，后面缺少宾语，而that引导宾语从句时不在从句中作成分，因此排除；which在宾语从句中一般不作宾语，如：Tell me which of them is better.(告诉我，他们当中哪一个比较好。)；how引导宾语从句时一般作从句的状语，不作宾语。 问题:7. Rats are harmful. We must get rid _ them.A.withB.ofC.offD.against答案:Bget rid of：免除；摆脱。问题:8. Scarcely _ asleep

32、 when the phone rang.A.had I fallenC.fell IB.I had fallenD.I fell答案:Ascarcely具有否定意义，且位于句首，所以本句要倒装。由scarcelywhen引导的句子中从句用过去式主句则要用过去完成时，所以选A项。问题:9. I havent decided which hotelA.to stayB.to stay atC.is to stay atD.is for staying答案:B考点 不定式作定语 解析 不定式短语可以作定语，修饰前面的名词。 避错 要注意不定式短语应该和前面所修饰的名词形成动宾关系，也要注意介词的添

33、加。而且此处需要的是定语，不能是完整的句子，所以不能选样C)或D)。 问题:10.

35、先准确判断出belongings是名词，在句子中作主语。这样，将value转化为形容词形式便是自然而然的。问题:2. Many teaching agencies advertise in the main newspapers, trying (attract) _ young foreign teachers.答案:to attracttry to do sth是固定搭配，意为“努力，试图”。try doing意为“试着”。根据句意，用不定式符合句意，故填to attract。句意：许多教学机构在主要报纸上刊登广告，试图吸引年轻的外国教师。问题:3. I think the movie i

36、s worth (see) _ a second time.答案:seeing解析 be worth doing sth.”为固定结构，意为“某事值得做”，其中doing 为主动动名词。问题:4.

Radio was the pilots only means of (communicate)_.答案:communication答案精解 句意：无线电是飞行员惟一的通讯工具。该

38、题考查的是词性转换。原句中介词of应填写一个名词作介词宾语，所以根据所给动词communicate可派生出其名词为communication。问题:8. Nowadays quite a few young people would rather buy the (cost) consumer goods.答案:costly考点 词性转换 解析 the和名词之间般是形容词。costly这种以-ly结尾的形容词英语中不太常见，主要有： friendly，monthly，yearly等等。 问题:9. Hand in your papers when you _ (finish) the test

39、.答案: have finished这里强调完成之后。问题:10.

51、 the solar energy fallen on the earth has been used so far. Even so, it represents power of approximately 5, 000,000 horsepower per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, because of the lack of scientific knowledge, we use this en

52、ergy indirectly, and it is our only final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Waterpower results from the suns creating vapor and subsequent rain. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating
