51、t Structure16. A “这药有许多作用，有些作用我们还不了解。”本题考核的是非限制性定语从句中关系代词置于介词之后的语法结构。这是一个复合句并不是并列句，所以后面的应是从句，从结构上看，应选A。17. B “比起住在城里，我更喜欢住在农村。”在“prefer to dorather than do”结构中，than后的动词一般用原形。因此，答案应是B live。18. C “布朗先生每月的收入增加了100美元。”在这句中，谓语动词increase 是不及物动词，只能通过介词“by+数量”表示增加的差额。19. C 本题考核非谓语动词中过去分词的用法和意思。过去分词短语可在句中作状语

52、，表示原因。“由于在穷人家长大，她习惯了过简朴的生活”。在四个选项中，A和B都不符合要求。D是动词bear和breed的现在分词被动式，它具有进行和被动两层意义，而C只表示被动。综合全句意思，答案应选C。20. B 本题考核动词avoid的用法。“在车辆高峰期，最好避免在闹市区开车。”根据avoid的用法，后面只能跟动名词，不能跟不定式。在四个选项中，A和D显然不对，C是动名词的完成式，与句子意思不符，所以答案应是B。21. D 本题考核谓语动词时态的用法。“只有在他们意识到这个计划的重要性之后才会下定决心去完成它。”全句使用倒装形式，主句的谓语动词是一般将来时态，从句是条件状语从句：“只有当

53、”，其谓语往往采用一般现在时或现在完成时。这种时态的呼应在状语从句中用得相当普遍。因此，选项D是本题的答案。22. A “就我所知，只有一颗卫星环绕地球”。本题考核的是固定搭配。As/so far as 的意思为：就，尽，如：so/as far as I know 就我所知；as soon as的意思是：一就；so/as long as只要，如果；as well as sb./sth.：也，还，而且。翻译时通常将as well as后的内容提到前面翻译，如：He grows flowers as well as vegetables.他既种菜也种花。故本题的正确答案为A。23. D “这位科学

54、家不在意别人的嘲笑，继续进行他的研究。”动词mind后面接动名词；这里用被动语态，表示“被嘲笑”。24. C “正当我要离开时，有人敲门了。”动词be +leaving/going/coming等，表示将来意义，意为“按计划马上要做某事”。25. A “医生告诉新护士该做些什么。”动词不定式和疑问词连用，一起作told的宾语；what为疑问代词，作do的宾语。26. having gone “最后一班公共汽车已经开走了，我们只能步行回家。”The last bus having gone 为独立结构，在句中做原因状语。27. have been painting “我告诉他我已刷了一个小时的房子，还要半个小时才能完成。”表示动作从过去某时刻进行到目前，并在说话时仍继续进行。28. camping “赖丽被允许同他的朋友一起去野营.”go camping 意为“去野营”,为固定词组，如同go fishing, go shopping 等。29. unidentified “那天晚上很多居民饶有兴趣地观看天空中闪亮的不明飞行物。”前缀un-带有否定意义；这里用
