23、布莱尔夫妻的第四个孩子，他重六磅，12盎司。孩子出生以后，由父母带回唐宁街十号。由此我们可以得知，这个孩子不是在唐宁街十号出生的。故C不符合原文。C考点：这是一个细节分析题；问的是布莱尔夫人是一个怎么样的人。解析：该题的信息出现在文章最后两段。从该部分我们可以得知，布莱尔夫人是一名律师，她的孩子出生前一直在坚持工作，星期二那天，她正在高等法庭工作，对她丈夫的产假制度提出了挑战。由此我们可以看出，布莱尔夫是一位非常坚强的女性。所以，本题的答案为C。B考点：这是一个词汇题；考的是如何通过上下文判断词义。解析：该词所在的句子出现在倒数第二段里，这句话的意思是解决好事业和家庭的关系经常是她工作的焦点。

24、事业和家庭之间的关系对她来说是一个棘手的问题；由此我们可以得知，该词的意思是困难的，棘手的。这个词的意思还可以从该词的词根判断出来。我们都知道，“thorny”的意思是“荆棘”，通过构词法我们可以知道，n+y构成了这个词的形容词形式。由此也可知道，该词的词义是“棘手的”。5D考点：这是一个主旨题；考的是文章的题目。解析：本文开头直接提到首相府邸新婴儿的出生。然后对母子的情况作了简要的报告。整篇文章都是对布莱尔夫人生小孩的报道，所以，最符合原文的题目应该是D。Bgetsbtodosth.意为让某人做11.Cwhere=inwhich,“where.，thereare.”指哪儿有.，就有.在本句中

25、，where引导地点状语.Bdistinguishrightfromwrong的意思是分清是非，是固定搭配。所以B是正确答案。A的意思是感觉、觉察”，C的意思是看到、发现”，D的意思是观察”均不符合题意。.Cwouldrather+句子（过去时）（虚拟语气）：dratheryoudidnttellanyonewhatIsaid.你最好别告诉任何人我所说的话。Idratheryoucamewithme.你还是和我一起来吧。Bexcept和exceptfor都是介词，后面接短语。而exceptthat和exceptwhen后面接宾语从句。that在从句中只起连接作用。而when在从句中做状语。如：

26、Sheknewnothingabouthisjourneyexceptthathewaslikelytobeawayforthreemonths.关于他们的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要离开三个月。（that在宾语从句中只起连接作用）Hewasamanoffinecharacterinallpointsexceptthathewasrathertimid.他在各方面都很好，除了有点胆小。而本句要选择exceptwhen，因为when在从句中做状语。C“lookinto”的意思是“调查”，本句的意思是“我保证一到那就调查这件事情”。“lookfor”：寻找。Willyouhelpmelookfor

27、mygloves?你能帮我寻找我的手套吗？lookin:朝里面看。IlookedinmypurseanddiscoveredIdonlygotaf-ipvoeundnote.我朝钱包里一看，发现只有一张五英镑的钞票。lookafter:照顾、照看。Hehaslookedafterhiselderlyparentsformanyyears.他照料年迈的父母已经多年了。Dmakeout有“辨认出、听出”的意思。又如：Itwasdifficulttomakeoutwhatwassaidovertheloudspeakerinthesquare.很难听清楚广场上的扩音喇叭里在说什么。makefor:走

28、向，朝前进。Itslate,wedbettermakeforhome.时间不早了，我们最好赶快回家。Makeforthebeach!向海滩前进！makesure:设法保证。Hewentroundmakingsurethatallthewindowswereclosed.他巡视了一遍，看看所有的窗户是否都已关上。makeover:翻新、改造。Thehousehasbeenmadeoverintoaschool.房屋已经改成一所学校。Humannaturecantbemadeoversoeasily.人性并非那么容易改变的。B这句话的意思是：我到处找食用油，但是一点也没有找到.注意little一点

29、，一些；虽然也用于修饰不可数名词，但是表达否定含义.它前面有一个转折词but，说明后句与前句的关系，结果应该是与找油的目的相反的含义，找了，但是没有找到所以用B.15.B繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了现在分词形式做伴随状语16.Abyfar强调比较级或最高级，在强调比较级时，比较级前也要用the.17.Dfeellikedoingsth.意为想做某事18.A你将很快适应这里的气候，然后气温的变化就不会影响你了.注意：beusedtosth/doingsth和getusedtosth./dointsth.都表示习惯于14.A我们刚坐下就发现是该走的时间了句子倒装这种形式会经常考到nos

30、oonerthan固定结构，引起19.Bexceptfor除“了外”，前后不属于同一性质，常用来表示可惜或者美中不足的语气，例如，本题前半部分讲到的是你的写作发好，而后半部分讲到一些拼写错误，前后显然不属于同一性质；except是除了之外，前后属于同一性质；besides,inadditionto都指除了，还有20.D正确.新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受新思想是被接受的，所以要用被动形式，故D选项21C我哥哥在加利福尼亚度假，我真希望她在这儿，这样他就能帮我修我的车了。Wish后面用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反，用一般过去式。22.B应改为：going，介词后面的动词用其ing形式，为伴随情

31、况。23.C应把not去掉。因为hardly这个单词本身就含有否定的意义。24.A应改为：whatever.不管一个人的社会角色是什么，记着努力工作和为人民服务都是应该的。25D在美国，男女关系非常处得非常近甚至于长期居住在一起，但是也无意考虑结婚。这里marry是及物动词，后面没有接宾语.故D改为：tobemarried.26.A这些学生希望被提供工作机会，应该用被动语态。故A项应改为tobeoffered.27.C应改为：getsused.28.B这句话是说：不止一次地，我发现自己尽管提前已经准备了但到时个还是怀疑自己的决定。这里doubt不能用原形，应改为doubting.形式：foundsbdoing29.Bcriticizesbfor(doing)s
