六、作文题(1题)54.Accordingtothegiveninformation,youarerequiredtowriteALetterofApplicationinabout100words.TheletterisrequiredtobewrittenontheAnswerSheet.

你是吴芳，想要申请到美国加州大学学习。你成绩优异，对数学尤感兴趣，是天津市中学生奥林匹克数学俱乐部的成员。你希望中学毕业后能到该校在这方面进一步深造。最后希望对方能寄给你一份申请表格和有关材料。

生词：加州大学TheUniversityofCalifornia申请表applicationform

要求：按书信格式写，词数100词左右

参考答案

1.DD在wouldrather引导的宾语从句中，常用虚拟语气。如果表示对现在或将来情况的虚拟，从句谓语动词用过去式（be动词用were）；如果是对过去情况的虚拟，从句谓语动词则用had+过去分词的形式。由句中的时间状语forthetimebeing可知，本句是对现在情况的虚拟。故选D

2.D【翻译】四处看了一下这个城镇，他感觉自己好像已经离开了很长时间。［考点］虚拟语气D由asif/asthough引导的表语从句可以用虚拟语气，表示对现在情况的假设时，从句谓语动词应用过去式(be动词用were)；表示对过去情况的假设时，从句谓语动词应用“had+过去分词”的形式；表示对将来情况的假设时，从句谓语动词应用“would/could/might+动词原形”的形式。根据句意和主句中的felt可知，这里是对过去情况的假设，所以从句谓语动词应用“had+过去分词”的形式。故选D。

3.B

4.A他很明智，看出杰克是这个工作的最佳人选。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Asensible:明智的,通晓事理的;sensitive:敏感的；sensational:轰动的,耸人听闻的;sensual:感官的,世俗的。根据句意可知，选A

5.D你想要出去野餐吗？好啊，今天天气很好！

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Dso是副词，用来修饰形容词或副词，常用于so+adj.+a/an+可数名词单数结构中;such是形容词，用来修饰名词或名词词组，常用于such+a/an+adj.+可数名词单数结构中。故选D

6.A不要谈论你不确定的这些事情。

［考点］定语从句

【精析】A分析句子结构可知，of后面的句子是前面suchthings的定语从句，所以此处的引导词应为of+关系代词，选项中只有which可以这样用。故选A

7.D英语作为外语教学的第一本教科书出现在16世纪。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】D分析句子结构可知此处应为分词短语做定语修饰textbook，根据时间状语和谓语动词时态可知空处应为过去时，又因为textbook和动作write存在动宾关系，所以应选written用过去分词表过去、表被动，故选D

8.B那个地区五分之三的土地终年被厚厚的积雪覆盖着。

［考点］数词的用法和主谓一致

【精析】B分数词由基数词和序数词构成，分子用基数词，分母用序数词；当分子大于1时，作分母的序数词要用复数形式。因此，第一个空应用Threefifths。分数/百分数+of+名词作主语时，谓语动词应与of后面名词的数保持一致。land在此处意为土地，是不可数名词，所以空处应用单数形式。故选B

9.C刚才有人看到她进了那家剧院。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】C有些感官动词如see后既可跟省略to的不定式作宾补，也可跟现在分词作宾补。不定式作宾补时表示完整的动作（已完成），且在被动语态中，不定式中的to不能省略；现在分词作宾补时表示未完成的动作（正在进行）。根据句意刚才有人看到她进了那家剧院可知，enter这个动作已经完成，所以应用不定式toenter。故选C

10.A他是那些男孩子中唯一一个愿意承担另一项任务的人。

［考点］主谓一致

【精析】A因为从句中谓语动词是is，所以定语从句的先行词应该是one,但必须要用theonly等限定词来修饰；若选C，先行词应该是thoseboys,后面从句的谓语动词要用复数。故选A

11.C我努力在做的是说服我哥哥戒烟。

［考点］主语从句

【精析】C分析句子结构可知,is之前是主语从句。从句中成分不完整,缺少do的宾语,所以应用连接代词what。故选C

12.A【翻译】事实上，我们不知道这条消息是否来自于可靠的来源。［考点］词义辨析Asource：源头，来源，出处；origin：起源，出身；basis：根据，基础；foundation：地基，根据，基本原理。根据句意可知，选A。

13.C工厂的员工数量被削减到最低限度，以降低生产成本。

［考点］主谓一致和动词语态

【精析】Cthenumberof意为……的数量，作句子的主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。由于Thenumberofemployees和cut之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用被动语态。故选C

14.C句意：当他被警察质询时，他否认自己在超市偷了东西。本题考查的是非谓语动词，动词deny只能用动名词作宾语，类似的还有appreciate,avoid,escape等，另外主语theman与动词steal之间为主谓关系，应用主动形式，因此选项C符合题意

15.C根据这些学生各自的能力，给他们安排了不同的任务。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Crespectful:尊敬的；respectable:体面的，得体的；respective:分别的，各自的；responsible:负责的。根据句意可知，选C

16.CC句意：这位老绅士总是乐于帮助每一个需要他帮助的人。名词性从句题。whoever（无论谁，任何人）可引导宾语从句，并在所引导的宾语从句中作主语。whomever只能作宾语。故选C

17.AA句意：事实上，他们宁愿去北京也不愿意待在上海。固定搭配题。wouldrather…than…意为宁愿……也不……，是固定搭配。而且wouldrather和than连接的是两个并列谓语，因此，than后面的动词也用原形。故A为正确答案

18.A直到12月31日，我们才最终收到他的来信。

［考点］强调句

【精析】A分析句子结构可知，本句包含了Itis/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他这一强调句型。本句强调的是时间状语notuntilDecember31，所以只能用that连接。故选A

19.C面对所有的困难，女孩向她的母亲寻求帮助。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Cturnover:翻阅，把……翻过来；turn与from不构成固定搭配；turnto:求助于；turnup:露面，（尤指失去后偶然）被发现。根据句意可知，选C

20.C当他们看到英雄时，人群中响起巨大的欢呼声。本题考查固定搭配。catchsightof意为看到，看见，是固定搭配。故选C

21.JA.studied（v.学习，研究）B.continuing（v.继续，持续）C.by（prep.通过）D.who（pron.引导定语从句）E.whose（pron.引导定语从句）F.improve（v.改进，改善）G.truth（n.事实，真相）H.ignored（v.忽视，不予理睬）I.recently（adv.最近，不久前）J.those（pron.那些）K.for（prep.表示一段时间）L.less（adv.更少，较少）J分析句子结构可知，空后的who引导一个定语从句，空处为其先行词，所以空处应填指人的名词或代词。符合要求的选项只有J。those在此处指代上文中的people，此处表达的是“不去（音乐会、演出和博物馆）的那些人”。故选J。

22.AK根据空后的名词短语15years可知，空处应填介词。符合要求的选项有C、K。句意：15年来，来自伦敦大学学院的专家们一直在调查超过6,700名英国人的生活方式。故选K。

23.HH分析句子结构可知，空处应填引导词，引导一个定语从句，修饰指人的先行词friends。符合要求的选项只有H。句意：学生在上大学时可以学习并交到将持续一生的朋友。故选H。

24.E

31.D

32.D

33.11.G12.D13.A14.C15.F

34.BB根据题干可知，逗号前的部分可以用不定式表示目的，可译为inordertodo/todo/soastodo结构。实现某人的梦想可译为realizeone'sdream；过去的十年里可译为overthepasttenyears；艰辛可译为hardship。综上分析可知，选B

35.D与……毫无关系应该翻译为havenothingtodowith,A项和B项都错将此翻译为havesomethingtodowith，且A项还错用了notonly…butalso句型。C项翻译为目的状语从句，而汉语句中并无目的状语从句的意思。综合起来只有D项最合汉语句意

36.这些哲理和思想的确给我留下了深刻印象,但严谨的提炼过程和不断的改进加工才是我真正学习到的东西

37.TheGreatWallisoneofthehistoricandculturalsymbolsofChina

38.Thereisnopointindiscussingsuchaproblematthecriticalmoment

39.最近几个月来你处销量大为下降，对此我们感到很遗憾。起初我们认为可能是由于受到这段时期市场总趋势的影响，但经进一步研究后，我们发现并非如此。可能你公司正面临一些我们不了解的困难，如果是这样，我们想了解是否能予以协助。因此，希望你能寄来一份关于现状的详细报告，以及一些我们如何协助以恢复到之前销售水平的建议。和术语的翻译：fallconsiderably意为大为下降；dueto意为由于；thegeneraltrendofmarket意为市场总趋势；lookforwardto意为希望；asto意为关于

40.Nomatterwhatmayhappen,Iwillnevergiveup

41.AA根据题干可知，本句含有对过去情况的虚拟。四个选项都是由without引出的含蓄条件句，对过去情况进行虚拟时，谓语动词应用would/could/should/mighthavedone，所以可排除选项B、D。另外，引导定语从句时，介词后面不能用that，而应用which。故选A

42.图书馆可以为因患有眼疾而不能使用印刷书籍的人提供有声读物

43.A本句是一个表转折关系的并列句。理解前一个分句时要注意两个词。第一个词为相当地，译为fairly较合适；第二个词为介词for，该介词在此处的含义为对……来说，相对……而言。后一个分句中需注意动词短语将……考虑在内应译为takeintoaccount。结合以上分析可以看出，四个选项中A项的翻译最为贴切。选项B漏译了fairly，错译了takeintoaccount。选项C错误理解了Thepriceforsuchabighouse这幢大房子的价格。选项D错译虽然……但是……为although…but…。综合可知A正确

44.BB词语理解题。题干的大意是：在文章中，短语walkintheshoesof意思接近于。wa
