&

SectionA

16.C

［解析］need,require等动词表示“需要...”时，要用动名词

或动词不定式的被动形式作宾语，表示被动的含义，即needdoing

或needtobedone,故选Co

17.A

［解析］whom引导的宾语从句作wonder的宾语；而在从句中，whom

作belongto的宾语。另外，在宾语从句中，主语和谓语的顺序应与

陈述句相同，故选A。

18.D

［解析］由形容词最高级修饰的名词，其后的定语从句要用that

引导，故选D。

19.B

［解析］since引导的是原因状语从句，表示“因为，由于”。其

他选项与题意不符：although意为“虽然，尽管”，if意为“如果”，

untiI意为“直到……才”,故选B。

20.D

［解析］在表示“要求”，“坚持”，“建议”，“命令”等动词后的从

句中，谓语动词用“（should）+动词原形”构成虚拟语气；在这里，

省略了should,直接要加动词原形。这些动词的主语从句，如Itis

requiredthat...,11isorderedthat...,11issuggestedthat...

等，也要用相同的形式，例如：Itissuggestedthatwe（shouID）study

hard.（人们建议我们应该好好学习。）

I

21.A

［解析］该句虽然是直接引语的句子，但时间状语为bytheendof

lastyear（到去年为止），这样直接引语中的谓语动词就构成了“过去

的过去”，所以应该用过去完成时。四个选项中只有A是过去完成时时

态，故选A。

22.C

［解析］形容词的比较级前不能加定冠词the,所以B,D不正确。

eIder主要用于指家庭成员，不符合题意，如：myelderbrother（我

的哥哥），故选Co

23.B

［解析］以“only+状语”开头的句子要使用部分倒装，即把情态

动词或助动词提到主语的前面，所以C、D不正确，但A选项的情态动

词也不正确，故选D。

24.B

［解析］如果主语为单数，尽管后面有with,togetherwith,as

weIIas,noIessthan,Iike,but,expect等介词，但这样的介词

短语相当于修饰主语的定语成分，所以谓语动词仍用单数，故选B。

25.A

［解析］takeover意为“接收，接管"；handin意为“上交”；

putin意为“放进，提出，提交，插入"；leadto意为“导致，通向”。

只有A项符合题意，故选A。

I

SectionB

26.werecrossing

［解析］根据句意，从句表示过去某段时间正在进行的动作，所以

时态要用过去进行时。

27.(shouId)send

［解析］当表语从句的主语和同位语从句的先行词是能够引起虚

拟语气的抽象名词时，从句必须用虚拟语

气。从句的谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”的形式。类似的名词

包括：idea,motion,pIan,advice,demand,desire,order,proposaI,

requirement,suggestion,decision,recommendation0

28.improvement

［解析］根据句子结构可以看出no后需要一个名词作宾语，

improve的名词形式为improvement,意为“进展，进步

29.toIive

［解析］prefertodosth.ratherthandosth.意为“宁愿做....

也不愿做”。此句中，ratherthan后的live被省略了，故答案

为toIive0

30.carrying

［解析］havedifficulty/troubIe(in)doingsth.意为“做...

有困难”，因此要把carry变为动名词形式。

31.knowing

［解析］现在分词作原因状涪相当于as,since,because等连词引

导的从句，现在分词与主句主语之间为主谓关系，故答案为knowing。

32.height

［解析］根据句子结构可以看出the后需要一个名词作宾语，high

的名词形式为height,意为“高度”。

33.emphasizes

［解析］根据句子结构可以看出本句话缺少谓语，所以空格中需要用

一个动词做谓语，emphasis的动词为e叩hasize。本句强调了一个客

观事实，所以谓语动词要使用一般现在时，又因为主语“thenumber

of...”是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也要使用第三人称单数形式。

34.automatic

［解析］根据句子结构可以看出空格中需要一个形容词作定语，来修

饰宾语temperaturecontroIsystem,automatically的形容词形式

为automatic,意为“自动的，自动化的”。

<

35.worse

［解析］根据句意可以看出，本句是两者thisone和thatone之间

进行的比较，所以要使用比较级形式。注意：ba
