六、作文(1题)66.假定你是Helen，要写一封信给Julie，对她和她的丈夫昨日请你和你丈夫吃饭表示感谢，表示要回请他们，以答谢他们的盛情款待。

参考答案

1.D

2.C

3.C解析：句子的前半部分是主语从句，主语从句中的谓语动词时态应根据句意而定。

4.D解析：上句责备玛丽应该做作业而不是坐到那儿看电视，下句是玛丽对妈妈责备的一种辩解：“你说过电视是有教育意义的。”所以D项正确。

5.B解析：encourage：鼓励、鼓舞；discourage：使泄气；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根据句意只有选B。

6.A本题考查祈使句型：

【应试指导】句意：Mary，到这里来，其余的人待在原处。根据句子的结构可判断出这是个祈使句。所以要用动词原形开头。Mary在句中不是

主语，而是“呼语”。

7.B

8.Blaunch为“发射”讲；其余为干扰项。

9.D

10.D

11.C解析：本题考查倒装虚拟语气用法。本句是表示与将来事实相反，所以从句用wereto形式。句意为：如果他今天出发的话，他就会在星期五以前到达那里。

12.A解析：反问疑问句的陈述部分是肯定式时，疑问部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反问疑问句，疑问部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以选项A是正确的。

13.A解析：shape意为“(女人的)姿态，身段”；form意为“形状，形态”；appearance意为“外表，样子”；body意为“身体”。由题意知应选A。

14.C解析：本题考查词义的辨别。rise出现，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

15.C解析：副词so置于句首，句子应该用倒装语序，某人受伤用sb.beinjured来表示，故答案为C。

16.B

17.C

18.B

19.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。给她脸上浇些水，或许她会醒过来。本题考查词组辨析。comeround：过访，绕道而来，苏醒过来；comeback：回来，恢复；comeagain：再说一遍，重复一遍；comeout：出来，传出。

20.D解析：本题考查动词搭配。doone'shomework“做作业”；makemistakes“犯错误”。句意为：做作业，还要保证别犯错误。

21.Ithinkthelong-rangebenefitsoftheprogramcandrasticallychangethelivingconditionsforeveryoneontheearth.

22.不管他怎么说,我就是认为他对我的能力的评价是一种挑战.regard…ascommenton

23.Therewillbeadvancesinbioloicalknowledgeasfarreachingasthosethathavebeenmadeinphysics.生物学知识的发展将像物理学的发展一样具有广泛的影响。
