不定代词both(of)表：两者，双方；一般用于名词或人称代词前，如：bothofus；在人称代词前，只能用bothof，且要与人称代词的宾格连用；如果名词前没有冠词、物主形容词或指示代词，不能用bothof，因此只有B是正确答案。

4.

6.

Helostallhismoney.Theonlythinghecoulddowastocallhiswifeforhelpatthismoment.A.beingcalledB.tobecalledC.callingD.call正确答案：D[解析]结构应用

本句考察的是动词不定式作表语，但因主语中含有do，要省略do。因此选项D为答案。

7.

Ifbeingcarriedoutsuccessfully,theplanwillcompletelychangethetrafficconditionsinthecity.A.carriedB.iscarriedC.havingbeencarriedD.tocarry正确答案：A[解析]结构应用

本句考察的是省略的用法：当状语从句的主语和主句的主语相同时，状语从句可以用分词短语作状语。本句完整的句子应为“ifitiscarriedoutsuccessfully…”，变成省略句时，直接用“if+过去分词”，因此A为答案。

8.

本句意为：当他得知期末考试考了58分时，他处于极度悔恨之中。A．adistress悲痛，穷困，不幸(常表由疼痛、烦恼等带来的身体或精神上遭受到的不适或紧张)；B．asuffering苦楚，受难(常强调实际忍受痛苦或疼痛)；C．anagony苦恼，极大的痛苦(常指极度的、难以忍受的痛苦)，创痛；D．amisery痛苦，苦恼(强调悲惨或不幸，并暗示痛苦无法减轻和具有长期性)。因此C为答案。

9.

10.

—Ilockedmyselfoutofmyapartment.Ididn'tknowwhattodo.

—Youmaycallyourroommate.A.couldhavecalledB.mighthavecalledC.wouldhavecalledD.musthavecalled正确答案：A[解析]本句考察得是：情态动词+不定式完成式的应用，can/could，may/might，must+have+动词-ed形式用于对过去发生动作的主观判断，表示推测过去某动作“可能”、“也许”“一定”已发生；口语中一般用can代替may；本句是两人的对话；因此A为答案。

11.

Thehumanbeingshavepollutedtheenvironmentseriously.ItistimetheUnitedNationsmusttakesomemeasures.A.takeB.takingC.totakeD.took正确答案：D[解析]结构应用

本句考察的是虚拟语气结构。Itis(about/high)timethat…句型用虚拟语气，其谓语部分用一般过去时，因此D为答案。

14.

15.

Therecentconferenceontheeffectiveuseoftheseasandoceanswasanotherattemptresolvingmajordifferencesamongcountrieswithconflictinginterests.A.resolveB.resolvesC.toresolveD.beingresolved正确答案：C[解析]

习惯搭配。

5.

8.

Theword"ancestors"underlinedinParagraph5refersto______.A.forefatherB.predecessorC.elderD.grandfather正确答案：A[解析]根据文中第五段的内容“aproudmomentforthemanyIrishwhoseancestorshadtofightstereotypes”可知，爱尔兰的祖先反对陈规陋俗。选项中的A项为“祖先，祖宗”符合文意。B项“前辈”，C项“老者”，D项“爷爷”，这三项均不符合题意。

WhichofthefollowingeventsdidNOThappenonMarch17?A.St.Patrick'sdeathB.St.Patrick'sconversionoftheIrishpagansC.IrishpeoplewearingshamrocksD.ThefirstparadeinmemoryofSt.Patrick正确答案：B[解析]根据文章整体内容可知，文中说的是圣帕特里克将异教徒都改为基督教徒，而文中没有提到圣帕特里克由一个异教徒转化为基督教徒，所以B项“圣帕特里克异教徒的转化”不符合文意。A项“圣帕特里克的死亡”，第一段的第一句中提到圣帕特里克纪念日是一个祭日，所以A符合文意；C项“爱尔兰人佩戴三叶草”，这个在文中第一段最后一句中提到；D项“为了纪念圣帕特里克的第一次游行”，这三项和文意相符。
