六、作文(1题)54.1.目前，越来越多的大学生做兼职。2.大学生做兼职的利弊。3.你的看法。

参考答案

1.B只有你不介意在巴黎转机，你才可以今晚飞到伦敦。

［考点］状语从句

【精析】B根据句意和句子结构可知，本句应是provided引导的一个条件状语从句，意为假如，只要

2.C——这套家具花了多少钱？

——我忘记它花多少钱了。

［考点］宾语从句

【精析】C考查宾语从句的语序。forgot后为宾语从句，宾语从句中应用陈述句语序，因此可排除B、D两项。由forgot可知，宾语从句的谓语动词应用过去式，cost的过去式为cost或costed。故选C

3.B每种方法都尝试过了，但都不是那么有效。

［考点］主谓一致和动词语态

【精析】Bmeans意为方法，手段时，为可数名词。every+单数可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，所以排除A、C两项。根据句意可知，means和try之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用被动语态。故选B

4.D句意：越往北走，冬天就越寒冷。本题考查的是themore…,themore…句型的用法。在这个句型中，more代表形容词或副词的比较级，常常把要强调的部分提前。所以答案选D

5.C安排某人做某事arrangeforsbtodosth

6.CX光可以穿透物体，从而使那些本来不可能被看见的物体变得可见。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】C本题的关键是找出makedetailsvisible这个动词+宾语+宾语补足语结构，本题中形容词visible作宾语补足语。句中的thatareotherwiseimpossibletoobserve是定语从句，用来修饰宾语details。故选C

7.A句意：消防员设法及时扑灭了火。词义辨析题。根据题意可知这里需要表示“扑灭（火焰等）”的单词。虽然stopthefire也可以搭配，但是A选项extinguish（熄灭，扑灭）更佳。所以答案为A

8.DD分析句子结构可知，空处引导同位语从句，itwastooexpensive是对reason的解释，所以应用在从句中不充当语法成分，而只起连接作用的that引导。故选D

9.BB句意：她不喜欢自己的工作，可是却没有勇气去寻找另一份工作。词义辨析题。terrified意为受到惊吓的，感到恐惧的；timid意为胆小的；fearful意为担心的，不安的；frightened意为害怕的，受惊的。根据句意，答案为B

10.BB。need：需要；might：可能；dare：竟敢；must：必须。根据句意可知，选B

11.A由于你现在已是一名大学生了，你应该比过去更依靠你自己。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Arelyon:依赖，依靠；workon:从事；runout:用完，耗尽；carryout:执行。根据句意可知，选A

12.D

13.D当代的物理学等同于之前被称作的自然哲学，现在大多自然科学学科就是由此产生的。

［考点］宾语从句

【精析】D分析句子结构可知，of后面是宾语从句，空处所填词在宾语从句中作主语，四个选项中只有what有此用法。故选D

14.D春天的时候景色多美啊！

［考点］感叹句

【精析】D常用的感叹句的基本结构为：①What（+a/an）+形容词+名词（+主语+谓语）！②How+形容词/副词（+主语+谓语）！③How+形容词+a（n）+名词（+主语+谓语）！scenery是不可数名词，前面不用冠词修饰，所以可排除选项A、C。D项符合第一种结构。故选D

15.D村民们被警告不要在河里游泳，因为那条河很深、很危险。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Dattend：参加，出席；neglect：忽视，忽略；arrest：逮捕；warn：警告，告诫，warnsb.（not）todosth.意为警告某人（不）要做某事，其被动形式为sb.bewarned（not）todosth.。根据句意和用法可知，选D

16.A【翻译】我认为是他们该更认真对待你的时候了。［考点］虚拟语气A“Itis/washightime…”结构中，应用虚拟语气，从句谓语动词应用过去式，有时也可以用“should+动词原形”的形式，should不可以省略。故选A。

17.C在上周失事的飞机上有300多人，其中只有5人奇迹般地幸存下来。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Csustain：维持,支撑；endure：忍耐，忍受；survive：存活；maintain：维持,维修。根据句意可知，选C

18.A有六个人坐在桌旁，他们向服务员点了两杯茶和四杯咖啡。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Atea和coffee既可以作可数名词，也可以作不可数名词。故本题的表达法有两种，分别为twoteasandfourcoffees和twocupsofteaandfourcupsofcoffee。选项中只有A完全正确

19.C经济危机的时候，他每个月只能挣2,000美元。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Cwage:工钱，报酬，常用复数形式，常按周或按天发放，多指体力劳动的报酬;pay:工资，薪水，是普通用语;salary:薪水，薪金，尤指按月发放的;fee:咨询费，报酬，还可用来指为加入组织或做某事付的费。根据句意可知，选C

20.D我们遇到了交通堵塞，当我们到达机场时飞机已经起飞了。

［考点］动词时态

【精析】Dbythetime意为到……的时候（为止），在句中起连词的作用，可以引导时间状语从句。如果从句中的谓语动词为过去式，主句应用过去完成时，即had+过去分词的形式，表示在过去某个时间或某动作发生之前已经完成的动作，即动作发生在过去的过去。根据句意可知，takeoff所表示的动作发生在arrived所表示的动作之前，即动作发生在过去的过去，所以主句应用过去完成时。故选D

21.collectioncollection题干的大意是：教授收藏了大量的书。根据空前的a可知，此处应填写collect的名词形式collection，意为收藏

22.pressurepressure题干大意是：所有的人都在重压之下不分昼夜地工作。此处应填由press引申出来的名词形式pressure,指压力,作under的宾语

23.societysociety题干大意是：在我们社会中，劳动人民是国家的主人。society指社会，是social引申出的名词形式

24.toweartowear句意：为了保持高度的安全，所有的职员都被要求穿上保护服。固定用法。requiresb.todosth.意为要求某人做某事，因此主语allthestaff是require的承受者，所以此处应用其被动结构sb.berequiredtodosth.,故此处应用不定式结构

25.excitedexcited题干的大意是：激动的人群冲进了市长办公室。此处应为excite的形容词形式excited，用来修饰人

26.enlargeenlarge题意：阅读英语小说能够扩大你的词汇量。情态动词后应用动词原形。因此应用large的动词形式enlarge,意为扩大

27.receivedreceived句意：昨天我收到了一封我们的一位供应商发来的关于订单的邮件。动词的时态。由时间状语yesterday可知，本句应用一般过去时表示过去发生的事情。故此处应填入receive的过去式received

28.modernizemodernize题意：政府已采取严厉措施促使公共交通现代化。分析句子结构可知，此处应填modern的动词形式modernize

29.unscientificunscientific题干的大意是：认为科学能解决人类一切问题的观点是不科学的。根据句意，此处只需要在形容词scientific前加上表否定的前缀un-即可

30.complaint或complainingcomplaint/complaining题意：如果你的邻居太吵了，那你就有了抱怨的理由。根据空前的介词for可知，此处应填complain的名词形式complaint，或动名词形式complaining

31.cheatingcheating题意：当大学生被抓到在考试中作弊时，他们可能会被开除学籍。catchsb.doingsth.为固定用法，意为抓住某人在做某事，此处为其被动语态

32.economiceconomic题干的大意是：全世界都认为我国迅速的经济发展是个奇迹。此处需要economy的形容词形式economic，修饰名词development

33.unusualunusual题意：作为一名医生，他在凌晨两、三点回家不是什么稀奇事。句子表达的是肯定的含义，故此处应填usual的反义词，加上否定前缀un-即可

34.amusementamusement题意：使每个人都忍俊不禁的是，那个演员在晚上表演时从舞台上跌落了下来。此处应填amuse的名词形式amusement,toone'samusement为固定搭配，意为令人发笑的是

35.povertypoverty题干大意是：由于缺乏想象力，他晚年创作的故事并不有趣。根据his可知，此处应填poor的名词形式poverty，指缺乏

36.argumentargument题干的大意是：她和罗伯茨进行了关于男性和女性收入平等问题的争论。根据空前的an可知，此处需要填写argue的名词形式argument

37.occasionallyoccasionally题意：去年偶尔下下雪，但不足以让我们可以玩滑雪板。根据句意可知，此处缺少副词来修饰snowed，故先将occasion变为形容词形式occasional，再加上-ly变成副词，用来修饰snowed

38.be或shouldbe（should）be题意：我们应该提前知道你们的计划，这很重要。在Itisessentialthat…句型中,that引导的主语从句应使用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用should+动词原形的形式,should可以省略。这一句型中有相同用法的形容词或分词除了essential之外还有：necessary,important,desired,required,requested,propos
