22、定用法。 it remainsto be seen 为固定用法，意思为“尚不确定，说不准”， but 后面的分句是一个含有主语从句的复合句， it 为这一复合句的形式主语， 真正的主语为 whether they will enjoy it ，故答案为 B）。10.It was suggested that the construction_ ahead of time.（分数： 2.00 ）A. is completedB. was completedC. be completedVD. must complete解析：解析：本题考查虚拟语气。虚拟语气用在包含suggest ，demand，

23、propose 等表示建议、命令等的主语从句、宾语从句中时， 从句谓语动词常为“ （should+） 动词原形”。 又由于从句中的主语 the construction 与后面的动词是被动关系，故本题答案为C） 。11.Only when class began_ that he had lost his bag in the street.（分数： 2.00 ）A. will he realizeB. he did realizeC. did he realizeVD. should he realize解析：解析：本题考查倒装结构。当“ only+ 状语状语从句”位于句首时，主句要用部分倒

25、D）。13. Do you know_ they talked about yesterday evening?（分数： 2.00 ）A. whatVB. whenC. whyD. how解析：解析：本题考查宾语从句。本题空格处所填词既要能引导一个从句作know 的宾语，又能作 talked about的宾语，这种情况下，只能用what，故选 A）。14.

26、 it.（分数： 2.00 ）A. is: have been studyingB. is: has been studyingC. are: have been studyingD. is: are studying解析：解析：本题考查主谓一致。many a 意为“很多”，但它强调个体，即“每一个”，因此谓语动词应用单数形式。句中的时间状语是 in the last two years ，说明句中谓语动词表示的动作发生在过去；结 合句意可知，这一动作从两年前开始一直持续到现在，将来可能还会继续，因此第二个空格所在分句应用 现在完成进行时，故 A） 正确。15.I dont think you

27、 can finish the project in one month, _ ?（分数： 2.00 ）A. dont IB. can IC. can youVD. cant you解析： 解析： 本题考查反义疑问句。 对于含有宾语从句的主从复合句， 若陈述句为 I we（dont）+think ， believe ，expect 等表示想法、意见、猜测的动词+宾语从句，反义疑问句的谓语动词和主语应同宾语从句的谓语动词和主语保持一致。如果主句是否定式，反义疑问句要用肯定式；如果主句是肯定式，反义疑问 句要用否定式。因此，本题答案为 C）。16.Tracy said the work would

28、 be done by July, _ personally I doubt very much.（分数： 2.00 ）A. itB. thatC. whenD. whichV解析：解析：本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，逗号后应是一个which 引导的非限制性定语从句，which 既指代前面整个句子，同时又作后面句子中 doubt 的宾语，故答案为 D） 。17.On weekends there are a lot of children playing in the park, _ parents seated togetherjoking.（分数： 2.00 ）A. theirVB.

29、 whoseC. whichD. that解析：解析：本题考查独立主格结构。seat 作动词时，意为“（房间、车辆、桌子等）坐得下人，能提供给座位”，主语为人时，句子用被动语态，因此空格后的动词seated 不是谓语，而是 seat 这个动词的过去分词，即非谓语动词，由此可知逗号后面的成分在本句作独立主格结构，所以答案为A）。18. Tom said in his letter that he would appreciate_ from you as soon as possible.（分数： 2.00 ）A. to have heardB. to hearC. for hearingD.

30、hearingV解析：解析：本题考查动名词。即appreciatedoing sth.是常考用法，表示“感激做某事，只有D）符合要求。19. Section BDirections: There are also 5 incomplete statements here.

31、：正确答案： embarrassing ）解析： 解析： 本题考查词形转换。在本题中，It 是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式结构 to be found stealing something 。is 是系动词，后面应该跟形容词作表语。 embarrass 为动词，其形容词形式有 embarrassing 和 embarrassed 两种，因主语为事件，故此处应该填入 embarrassing “令人尴尬的，使人难堪的”。21.Helen isnt here because I forgot（telephone） 1her.（分数： 2.00 ）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案： to tel

32、ephone ）解析：解析：本题考查不定式。 forget 后接不定式作宾语， 表示“忘记要去做某事”； 其后也可跟动名词， 表示“忘记已经做过某事”。由主句可知，“我”忘记要给海伦打电话，故空格处应填 to telephone 。22.Earthquakes often cause great（destroy） 1of life and property.（分数： 2.00 ）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案： destruction ）解析：解析：本题考查词形转换。 分析句子结构可知， 空格处作动词 cause 的宾语，因此应填入名词。 destroy 是动词，其名词形式是 destr

33、uction 。23.By the end of last month, our factory（produce） 13 000 motors.（分数： 2.00 ）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案： had produced ）解析：解析：本题考查过去完成时。由句首的时间状语可知，句子应用过去完成时，表示到过去某个时间 为止已经发生或完成的动作，故空格处应填 had produced 。24.The teacher warned that anyone who was caught（cheat） 1during the test would be punished.（分数： 2.00 ）

34、填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案： cheating ）解析：解析：本题考查现在分词。在 that 引导的宾语从句中，又含有一个who 引导的定语从句，在此定语从句中，who 为主语，谓语动词为 was caught ,其后应接现在分词说明主语在被捉住时发生的动作，因此，空格处应填 cheating 。三、Reading Comprehension（总题数：11，分数：50.00）25.
