34.D解析：鱼龙是海里的爬行动物，看起来像海豚。

35.A解析：注意写在黑板上的信息。

42.B

43.D有个人志向的人占有一定的比例。他们做了思想和意志的努力。这些人是幸运的群体。

44.C解析：but表示转折关系。与前面的喜欢相对比，这次我不开心，所以用but表示转折。

45.D解析：本句的上半句有“donot两词，根据上下文，这里要选D。

46.B解析：但有些人带的显然是非常危险的物品。

47.A

48.B解析：从此空白处可以看出，此处应该填入表语，而不能填入动词的进行时态，因为动词的现在进行时表示讲话时正在发生的动作，如果使用动词的进行时态，就说明蜜蜂正在工作，因此A和C不正确；hard可以用做形容词(坚固的，困难的)和副词(努力地，辛苦地)，hardly是副词，意思是“几乎不，简直不”。hardworking是个复合词，意思是“苦干的，不辞辛劳的”，可以作表语，故B是正确答案。

49.D

50.C

51.D本题考查常用句型。

【应试指导】句意：如果我在这里抽烟你介意吗?Would(Do)youmindif…?是常用句型。

52.C本题考查形容词比较级。

【应试指导】句意：这一个是两个中较好的。两者进行比较，不用最高级，排除A项。B、D两项不与of连用，后多接than。表示“两者中比较……的一个”，多用定冠词+比较级+of。

53.D本题考查连词的用法。

【应试指导】句意：尽管他被认为是一位伟大的作家，他的著作还没有被广泛阅读。Mthough意为“尽管”，表示让步，引导的从句不能与but，however连用，但可与yet，still连用。

54.Bwhenswitchedon是个省略了“itis”的时间状语从句，意思是“当它被打开时”。A．tobeswitchedon是不定式的被动式，不能表示时间；C．switchingon是现在分词，表示主动；D．是现在分词的被动式，但放在句尾不能表示时间。

55.C本题考查forget的用法。

【应试指导】句意：你忘了把它还给我。我昨天没有忘记我把它给你了。forgettod0忘记做某事；forgetdoin9忘记做过某事，事情已经做过了。

56.CWish后的宾语从句要求用虚拟语气。对已发生的事懊悔时，从句的谓语用过去完成时。选项C是正确的。【句子大意】我真不该那么说。但愿我没说过。

57.D

58.B解析：主语由neither...nor连接时，谓语形式由最邻近的主语的单复数形式决定。

59.B解析：Not开头的句子要求部分倒装。

60.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。山西省晋中市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
