33.D解析：通篇讲了鸡蛋的好处，又反驳了对鸡蛋的错误看法，这里指的肯定是鸡蛋。选项D是正确的。

34.B本题考查连词的选择。此处应为why引出的表语从句。全句意思：那就是为什么跟你的孩子说话，唱歌，微笑是很重要的，故选B。

35.C解析：在回家的路上。onone’sway在去……的路上。

36.B本为关联词选择。lest意为“以免”，常引导目的状语从句，从句中要用虚拟语气；incase意为“万一”，常引导条件状语从句，从句中用虚拟语气；forfear意为“担心”，常和that连用引导状语从句；sothat意为“以便于”，常引导结果状语从句。

37.A解析：词义辨析题。keepsth．athome…表示“让……呆在家”。

38.B因为作者情绪已经转变，到了第二天早上已经对孩子们好了起来。C项love1y“可爱的”，用来修饰小孩，不能表达作者对孩子和蔼这层意思；A项cruel“残酷的”，意思刚好相反。故选B。

42.A下面讲了对真树要做很多的维护性工作，要有一定的支出。根据这个含义，比较四个选项，A项是正确的。用假树花费会低一些。cost“花费，费用”符合句意。

43.D

44.B此题考查短语搭配。“将……命名为……”应该是“name…as…”，故选B。

45.C解析：ontime准时到达。

46.D

47.A

48.A

49.A解析：固定搭配题。attheageof．．．意为“在……岁时”。本句意为：在她十岁时就给读者们写回信提建议。

50.C25．答案为C

此空格后为动词短语，只有通过关系代词作主语，才能使其后成为完整的定语从句。因此，根据句意，which修饰unfavorablereactions，意为“不悦的反应会影响听者的理解力”。what为连接代词，不需要先行词；as可作关系代词引导非限定性定语从句，其先行词常为主语的全部或后面部分。who虽然可引导定语从句，其先行词为listener，与后面的动词搭配不一致，因此不能选。

51.B解析：画线部分读[^]，其他选项的画线部分读[au]。

52.A解析：画线部分读[s]，其他选项的画线部分读[z]。

53.AA项划线部分发[e]，而B、C、D三项划线部分发[c：]，因此选A项。

55.B

56.C

57.D在exist中x发[gz]，在其他选项中x发[ks]。excellent卓越的；mix混合；text文本；exist存在。

58.AA画线部分读[

?]，其他选项的画线部分读[s]。

59.D

60.BB画线部分读[u]，其他选项的画线部分读[u：]。

61.D

62.C表示二者的“都”或“任何一位”用neither或either。排除B项和D项。谓语动词已经否定，C项是正确的。句意为：“一你看见杰克和约翰了吗?一他们两个我都没看见。”

63.C解析：review是可数名词，表示泛指要用不定冠词a。heartdisease表示泛指不用冠词。

64.objection

65.A

66.C

67.A解析：sothat引导状语从句，表示“以便”。

68.C解析：本题考虚拟语气在名词性从句中的用法。在“Itis+essential(desirable，necessary，critical，etc．)+that”引导的名词性从句中，谓语动词用“should+v.”，should可以省略，故C项正确。本句大意为：申请表必须在最后期限之前寄回来。

69.A解析：本句是一个强调句。强调句的结构是：Itis(was)+被强调部分+that(who)+句子的其他部分。只有当被强调部分在句子中作主语，且表示“人”时，才用who。

70.A

71.C解析：分析句子结构，句子谓语动词为is，radiationfromthesun作is的表语，则is前面部分作主语，故本句为主语从句，what在主语从句(whatmanmustfear)中作fear的宾语。所以答案为C。

72.A解析：本题考查单词的辨别。由题意可知：主语是answer，且sound后常接形容词，故选A。

73.Bmakeitarule“使之成为规律”，it是形式宾语，指代to后引导的内容。

74.B解析：manya+单数名词十动词的单数形式。

75.C

76.C本题考介词短语的辨析。inspiteof意为“尽管”；inchargeof意为“对……负责”；inviewof意为“考虑到……”；incaseof意为“万一”。结合句意，故C项正确。本句大意为：考虑到你的学习成绩较差，我们认为你应该更加刻苦学习。

77.C解析：从句thesunshinesallyearlong中只缺少地点状语，所以用where。somewhere是副词，但兼有名词的功能，后面可加定语，故选C。

78.C解析：it在这里是动词不定式的形式宾语。feelit+形容词+todosth．。

79.B解析：本题为词组辨析题。byfar通常用来修饰比较级、最高级，意为“大量，甚多”；sofar意为“迄今为止”；asfaras意为“就……而言”；farfrom意为“远离，远不止”。本句大意为：到现在为止只发现了三具尸体。

80.D解析：年龄约数的表示法，要用基数词的复数形式，thirties是thirty的复数形式．故D为正确答案。
