,Stepbystep,

Bitbybit小题5:Comparedwith/to小题6:enteredaman解析：试题分析：小题1:Situated/Locatedon

本句使用形容词短语belocated/situatedon…对句子主语的情况进行说明。转换成Situated/Locatedon。。。小题2:Asisknowntoall本句的as引导的是非限制性定语从句，as指代一句话的内容，在句中做主语。小题3:hadagreatinfluence/effecton本句使用haveagreatinfluence/effecton换原句的influence。小题4:Littlebylittle

,Stepbystep,

Bitbybit本句考查近义词逐渐地Littlebylittle

,Stepbystep,

Bitbybit来换副词Gradually。小题5:Comparedwith/to固定搭配“与…相比”comparedto/with…在句中组状语。小题6:enteredaman本句是一个倒装句，副词there放在了句首，因为主语是名词，所以使用部分倒装的形式。点评：本文主要考查考生的同义词近义词和反义词以及相应句型的，在平时要多注意积累状这样的句式，注意考试时注意时态语态等。4.Hecamehomeaftermidnight,and____,hewasdrunk.Thatmadehisparentsveryangry.A．WhatismoreB．OntheotherhandC．InmyopinionD．Inanotherword答案：A解析：what’smore常用作插入语,意为“更有甚者;而且”。5.Aparticularquirk(古怪举动)ofCanadianeducationisthatthereisn’tonesystembut13.All10provincesandall3territorieshavetherighttoruntheirowneducationsystems.It’sestablishedintheConstitution.

-----______.Theyarebothexpensiveandoflittleuse.A．NoneB．EitherC．NeitherD．Any答案：A解析：：本题的干扰点在于短语both…and…，而both此处并非指两本电子词典，而是这些词典的的属性。题眼是doyoulikemost，说明所比较的事物为三个或三个以上，从既昂贵又无用来看，说话人三个以上事物中哪个也不喜欢，故选A。【标签】代词37.—
