41、结构（共 40题，20分考试时间为25分钟）. Having no money butA. not to want anyone B. to want no oneC. wanted no oneD. not wanting anyone【答案】D【解析】but前后句子要保持一致，故选 D项。. Would you please the radio a little?

43、e doing sth .为固定结构，意为是没有用的”。I have two boys but of them likes sweets.A. bothB. NeitherC. eitherD. none答案B解析句意：我有两个男孩，可是他们都不喜欢糖果。因此四个选项中，只有 neither和none有可能是答案。 而none用来表示三个或三个以上的人或物，而两个人或物时通常用neither 。. All the passengers in the accident were sent to the nearby hospital in no time.A . to find injuredB

44、 . finding injuredC. to be found injuredD . found injured答案D解析。该题考查语法：非谓语。该句意为：所有事故中受伤的乘客都被及时送往附近的医院。二首先要分析句子结构，该句主语是 all the passengers ,谓语是were sent to ,空白处所要填的词是用来修饰主语 的。主语all the passengers和选项中的findinjured这一动词之间的关系为被动事故中的乘客被发现受伤，所以在表示被动语态的C和D中选；从表示过去时态的谓语were sent to又可以发现该句描述的是过去发生的事，而C中的to是一个表示

45、将来的动词不定式符号，所以选 D。D中的found是find的过去分词，后置做定语，相当 于一个从句 that/who have been found injured。. The big fire lasted as long as 24 hours it was brought under control.A. afterB . beforeC . sinceD . while答案B解析。该题考查语法：时间状语从句。该句意为：大火在得到控制前持续了整整24个小时。空白处前后皆为主谓完整的句子，由此可见空白处所需的为一个连词，而四个备选项皆可做连词，只不过语义以及主 从时态略有区别。after

46、在之后，before 在之前，since自从,while相当于 when ,当。since引导的时间状语从句，一般情况下，从句谓语动词用一般过去时，而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时，与该题时态不符，所 以排除，其余三个选项依其语义来看，before最符合. In this workshop, the output of July was three times of January.A . thatB . thisC. oneD . it答案A解析。该题考查语法：英文倍数的表达方法之一：the+计量名词+of+A+be+ 倍数+that+of+B。该句意为：这间工厂七月份的产量是一月份的三倍。.

47、Seeing her father come back,.A . tears ran down her cheeksB . her tears ran outC. she burst into tearsD . tears burst into her答案C解析。该题考查语法：非谓语动词作状语。该句意为：看见她爸爸回来了，她眼泪夺眶而出。非谓语作状语时，主语必须是非谓语的逻辑主语，句首的现在分词seeing其真正的主语是she ,只有C的主语是she而其他选项的逻辑主语都是tears ,所以选C。. singer and dancer is also good at drawing.A . T

48、he; aB . The; theC . A; aD . The; /答案D解析。该题考查语法：冠词的省略。该句意为：这个歌手兼舞者也擅长画画。该句谓语动词为is,由此可知主语应该为单数，所以 singer和dancer应该是一个人所同时具备的两种身份而不是两个人。当两个并列名词指的是同一个人时，后一名词前的不定冠词通常省略，所以选D。Its such a difficult problem no one can work it out.:F案-B常断碎至耍霍查WUCh That 句此句这不结就 尊荀的看息名 下是丁贡曲卯的同题3以致于没看大能洞窿!决它。such后面跟的中心词必须是名词(pr

49、oblem),在这里要和 so- that从句区分一下。so后面要加形容词或者!副词。其他选项均不能搭配。Id rather you there next week.A. wentB. goC. should have gone D. had goneI答案A解析would rather后面接句子时往往用虚拟语气，谓语的时态用一般过去时的形式。故选 A33 . By the end of this term, we 3,000 English words in all.A will learnB. will have learned C. have learnedD. had learnedj

50、答案B解析本题主要考查将来完成时， 根据句意：到这个学期结束时，我们已经总共学习了3000个英语单词。可知J是说明将来的情况，故用将来完成时，应该选 Bo A选项是将来时，C选项是现在完成时，同样地，如果改成 by the ! end of last term, 本题就选D项，表示截止到过去某个时间点，产生的影响和结果。.is known to all, the earth moves around the sun once a year.A A ThatB. AsC. WhatD. ItJ答案B解析本题考查的是 as引导的非限制性定语从句，as指代后面的整个句子，句意为：正如大家所知道的，地

51、球一年绕太阳转一圈。这种表达方式已经相对固定了如果此处填it ,这句话应该这样表达：It is known to all that theearth moves around the sun once a year. that the earth moves around the sun once a year是主语从句:后置，it只是个形式主语。选项 that不能引导非限制f定语从句，what不能引导定语从句。I admit that she has shortcomings. I still like her.A. WhenB. AsC. WhileD. Once|答案C解析本题主要考查连

52、词， 也就是主从复合句中主句和从句之间的逻辑关系，根据句意：我承认她有缺点， 但我!依然喜欢她。可知此处是转折的关系，when当时候；as既可以表示当时候，也可以表示原因； once 一旦!表示条件；while可以表示转折，故选 C.To our great, Toms illness proved not to be as serious as we had feared.: A. anxietyB. reliefC. viewD. judgment!答案D解析本题主要考查名词的辨析，anxiety 焦虑，relief安慰，view观点，judgment 判断。根据句意：使我!们感到安慰的是

54、hope 希望。Can youthe differences between the two pictures?A A. tellB. talkC. speakD. say答案A解析tell the difference分辨出不同之处，只有 tell有此含义。talk谈论；speak说某种语言；say后跟!说话的内容。Do you know the of the saying I just quoted?A. resourceB. sourceC. courseD. cause答案B解析resource 资源 source 来源，出处；course课程；cause 原因。本句的意思是：你知道我
