B．hasgonedownC．havebroughtdown D．hasbroughtdown解析由句意知thenumberof＋n.作主语，表示“……的数量”，谓语用单数，故排除A、C两项。godown是不及物动词词组，意为“(价格等)下降”；bringdown属及物动词词组，在此处应用被动形式，故应选B项。答案B2．Besides,we'realltaxpayersso________weearn______taxwehavetopaytothosewhogovernus.A．well;that B．thebetter;themoreC．themore；thebetter D．themore；themore解析句意：除此之外，我们都是纳税人，因此我们挣的钱越多，就要向政府交更多的税。只有D项符合句意。答案D3．Inthisspendingcircle，ontheonehand，we________possessionsbutneverfeellikewehaveenough.A．account B．accordC．accumulate

B．sharedC．aresharing D．haveshared解析suggest表“建议”讲时，从句谓语用虚拟语气即shoulddosth，其中should可省略。故应选A项。答案A6．Iflawssuchasthese________，ahugeadjustmentwouldberequiredandtherewouldcertainlybediversereactions.A．cameintobeing B．wascomingintobeingC．hadcomeintobeing D．wouldcomeintobeing解析由句意知，本句是对将来情况进行假设的虚拟语气，此时if从句谓语可用一般过去时或wereto/should＋do形式，主句谓语用would/could/might/should＋do形式。故应选A项。答案A7．Asasociety，it'shightimethatwe________theseissuesmoreseriously.A．take B．musttakeC．took D．havetaken解析句意：作为一个社会，这该是我们更加严肃地对待这些问题的时候了。It's(high)timethat...现在该干……，从句中谓语动词用过去式或should＋do，其中should不省略。故应选C项。答案C8．Weshouldinsistthatadvertisingismorecontrolled，________advertisingaimedatchildren.A．speciallyB．especiallyC．specialD．especial解析句意：我们应该坚持对广告采取更多的控制，尤其控制那些针对孩子们的广告。由句意知此处需一副词，故排除C、D两项。specially专门地；especially尤其是。故应选B项。答案B9．Onapersonallevel,we________visittheshopslessandworrylessaboutimage.A．mayB．oughttoC．wouldD．hadto解析句意：从个人角度来说，我们应该少逛商店，不要那么在意自己的形象。oughttodosth应该做某事，用来表示劝告或建议。答案B10．Hisbossinsistedthatheworklongerhourssohe______.A．resignedB．retiredC．dismissedD．fired解析句意：他的老板坚持要他工作更长的时间，因此，他辞职了。resign辞职；retire退休；dismiss解雇，开除；fire解雇。由句意知应选A项。答案A11．Our________resourcesandstablepolicyprovideforeignerswithadvantagesofdevelopingtheirbusinesses.A．generous
