saidofnothing,butimmediately[BIO]copiedtheactionofhisguest.And

that,saidthissecondperson,wasafineexampleofgoodmanners.

32、[Bl]

标准答案：将。n改为by

知识点解析："bytheway"作"根据方式"讲，例如：Iwasdeeplyhurtbytheway

shejustignoredme.她根本不理睬我，这深深刺痛「我的心。而短语ontheway则

作”在去...的路上“讲，例如：Thatistheessenceofscience：askanimpertinent

question,andyouareonthewaytothepertinentanswer.科学的本质是：提出一个

不恰当的问题，于是你便走上了通往恰当答案的道路。

33、[B2]

标准答案：将unaware改为aware

知识点解析：根据下文中的"Suchpeopleneverbumpintootherpeople",我们就可肯

定这种人不会"目中无人"。beawareof作"意识到，感觉到"讲，例如：Agoodway

ofriddingyourselfofcertainkindsofdogmatismistobecomeawareofopinionsheldin

socialcirclesdifferentfromyourown.摆脱某些武断看法的一种好办注就是设法/

解一下别的社会圈子中的人们所持有的种种看法。

34、[B3]

标准答案：将as改为ihan

知识点解析："more+adj./of+n.+than”是固定结构。例如：Ilovewisdommorethan

shelovesme.我爱智慧胜于智慧爱我。Awisemanwillmakemoreopportunitiesthan

hefinds.聪明人能够发现机会，更能够创造机会。

35、[B4]

标准答案：将it改为which

知识点解析：原句是由两个既不是并列关系也不是从属关系的句子构成，这是不符

合英语语法的。可将it改为which,让which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句，

which在从句中作主语。需要注意的是，在从句中hesaid是插入语。

36、[B5]

标准答案：将at改为in

知识点解析：名词thecountry前要用介词in,例如：【livedinsolitudeinthecountry

andnoticedhowthemonotonyofaquietlifestimulatesthecreativemind.我无亲无伴

地居住在这个国度，终于发现宁静寂寞的生活是多么能够激发头脑的创造性。

37、[B6]

标准答案：将hasn,t改为hadn't

知识点解析：根据上文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完成时。

38、[B7]

标准答案：将American改为Arab

知识点解析：根据上文，我们可以看出，这里讲述的是一位赴“阿拉伯”传统宴会的

“美国人”的故事，而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事。

39、[B8]

标准答案：将as改为like

知识点解析:介词as意为“作为"，like意为“像“，根据句意,此处应用介词like。

再例如：Itisdesirableattimesforideastopossessacertainroughness,likedrawings

onheavy-grainpaper.Thoughtshavingthisqualityaremostlikelytomatchthetexture

ofactualexperience.思想有时需要某种粗糙，正如绘画需要用粗纹纸一样。具有

这种品质而思想最有可能与实际经验的本质相适应。Ifyouwishtosucceed,you

shouldusepersistenceasyourgoodfriend,experienceasyourreference,prudenceas

yourbrotherandhopeasyoursentry.如果你希望成功，当以恒心为良友、以经验为

参谋、以谨慎为兄弟、以希望为哨兵。

40、［B9］

标准答案：将falls改为fell

知识点解析：根据上下文我们可以看出，这里要使用一般过去时。

41、［B10］

标准答案：将o「删掉

知识点解析：say作及物动词，后可直接跟名词作宾语,Wifl：Itisagoodtongue

thatsaysnoill,andabelterheartthatthinksnone.干净的嘴不说坏话。善良的心不

想坏事。Wisementalkbecausetheyhavesomethingtosay；fools,becausetheyhave

tosaysomething.明智的人因为有话要说才说话，愚蠢的人则为了要说话才说话。

42、夜是静寂的，柔和的。从对面我听呸见一点声音。香港似乎闭了它的大口。

介是当我注意到那一座光芒万丈的星的山的时候，我又仿佛听见那许多灯光的私语

了。因为船的移动。灯光也似乎移动起来。而且电车汽车上的灯也在飞跑。我看见

它们时明时暗，就像人在眨眼。或者像它们在追逐，在说话。我的视觉和听觉混合

起来。我仿佛在用眼睛听了。那一座星的山并不是沉默的，在那里正奏着伟大的交

响乐。

标准答案：Tranquilityandpeacereignedthenight.Notasoundcouldbeheardfrom

AndIwillbeglobalwhetherthereisaWorldTradeOrganizationagreementornot.

标准答案：什么叫全球化?简而答之，全球化就是所有事物的融合。更为完整的定

义是这样的：全球化就是市场、金融和技术的融合，它使得世界从中等规模缩至

小规模。无论我们住在哪里，全球化使得我们每一个人能比以前更深入，更快捷、

更便宜地接触到世界的每一处，同时也让世界比以前更深入、更快捷、更便宜地触

及我们的生活。我相信这个过程完全是由技术推动的。在战略理论中有这样一个

概念，说能力产生意图。换言之，如果你给人们B—52型轰炸机，他们就会找到

B—52型轰炸机的用途。这个概念在考虑全球化时也是非常有用的。如果我有一部

手机，能接通世界上180个不同的国家，而且价格相同，那么我就确实会向180个

不同的国家打电话。如果我能接上因特网，能在网上做生意，而我的供应商、顾客

和竞争对手都是全球性的，那么我也将是全球性的，而且无论是否有世贸总协定，

我都会是全球性的。

知识点解析：这是一篇关于是否应该到美国留学的议论文，关于这个问题，有两

种不同的看法：有人认为学生应在国内学习；有些认为赴美留学更有益。本题要求

考生谈谈这两种情况各刍的优点，并说明自己认为哪种学习方法更好。这个题目对

每个考生来说都是熟题，但每个人都有自己的想法，有些想法不宜明言，例如生活

标准问题，依赖奖学金或打工助学问题，移民问题等。文章应从正面谈，围绕学习

本身，学习环境和学习费用等问题进行分析。根据题目要求，重点应放在两种情况

的有利方面。不利的方面也要谈，但只应在比较的过程中谈，目的是得出结论，为

自己的观点服务。既然大部分考生都想能到外国学习深造，应该取何种观点不言而

喻，文中可明确表达。从范文来看,文章认为留学较好，但这个观点没有在前面

表达，而是放在了最后一段，同时，文章的观点并非简单的赞同或反对，避免了绝

对化。具体写法与分段如下：第一段：叙述情况，指出各有优点；第二段：赴美

学习的有利一面；第三段：在本国国内学习的有利一面；第四段：指出应在国内打

基础，然后到美国深造，同时表示决心。
