24、dom/never 放在句首时句子也需用倒装语序；only 引导的状语放在句首时也需用倒装语序。但这三个不合句意。4.The school board listened quietly as John read the demands that his followers _ for.（分数：2.50）A.demonstrateB.demonstratedC.be demonstratingD.had been demonstrating 解析：解析 demands 后面的 that从句为限定性定语从句，因此从句谓语用陈述语气。5.But for his courage, the battle
25、 _.（分数：2.50）A.was lostB.would be lostC.would have been lost D.was to be lost解析：解析 这是含蓄虚拟条件句，but for his courage 是“若没有他的勇敢”，是一个含蓄的虚拟条件。6._ some questions about the bookkeeper“s honesty, the company asked him to leave.（分数：2.50）A.There being B.There beC.BeingD.Having解析：解析 There being some questions abo
26、ut the bookkeeper“s honesty“由于簿记员的诚实有些问题”，此为分词独立结构做状语，表示原因。7.Lisa stood motionless at the end of the diving board, hands at her sides, heels slightly raised, every muscle _ action.（分数：2.50）A.anticipatedB.to anticipateC.anticipating D.having been anticipating解析：解析 every muscle anticipating action“每个肌

28、ve不能省略，省略了 have就变成谈论现在，而不是谈论过去的事情。9.I wish _ to Stockholm when I was in Sweden. I hear it“s a beautiful city.（分数：2.50）A.I wentB.I had gone C.to goD.to have gone解析：解析 I wish I had gone to Stockholm.“我要是去了斯德哥尔摩该有多好。”wish 后面的从句需用虚拟语气，用一般过去时表示难以实现的纯愿望；用过去完成时表示与过去事实相反的一种愿望。本句中的“我”在瑞典时没有到斯德哥尔摩去，现在感到遗憾，说要是
29、去了该有多好。10.I _ have written to him because he phoned me shortly afterwards.（分数：2.50）A.needn“t B.oughtn“t toC.wouldn“tD.shouldn“t解析：解析 needn“t have done sth.表示过去做了某事，但事后证明没有必要做。oughtn“t to/shouldn“t have done sth.表示过去做了不该做的事。wouldn“t have done sth.用在虚拟条件句过去时的主句中，表示如果具备了所指的条件就不会做某事。11.Indeed, almost ev

31、s前后所对比的成分要对等，可以是不定式、限定动词，可以全是名词或介词短语，如：John couldn“t even pick up the box, much less carry it upstairs. I never even spoke to the man, much less insulted him. Still less和even less的用法和意思与 much less完全相同，如：He can“t run a hundred yards, even less a mile. I don“t suspect him of robbery, still less of rob
32、bery with violence. He could barely pay for his own meal, much less for mine.12.We have done things we ought not to have done and _ undone things we ought to have done.（分数：2.50）A.leaveB.leavingC.left D.will leave解析：解析 leave 后面可以跟带现在分词、过去分词、不定式、形容词、介词短语的复合结构及其他成分。如：Don“t leave her waiting. It“s bette
33、r to leave. I“ll leave you to settle the business. His illness has left him weak. I“ll leave it to you to buy the tickets/leave buying the tickets to you.本题的 leave后面跟的是带过去分词的复合结构，因为宾语太长(后面有定语)，所以将过去分词 undone提到宾语 things的前面了。13.You can“t be _ careful in making the decision as it was such a critical ca
34、se.（分数：2.50）A.veryB.quiteC.soD.too 解析：解析 “can“t be too”表示“怎样也不过分”，如：You can“t be too strict with them.

36、t the least of its problems。16.The heart is _ intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.（分数：2.50）A.not soB.not muchC.no more D.much less解析：解析 no morethan=notany more than，notjust asnot“正如一样不”，“与都同样不”。17.The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as _ its soils and th
37、e water of its lakes, rivers and oceans.（分数：2.50）A.are B.isC.doD.has解析：解析 “A is as muchas B is”表示“A 正如 B一样也是”。本题中的 as are its soils and the water为倒装句，be 动词 are提到了主语 soils等的前面。18.The last half of the nineteenth century _ the steady improvement in the means of travel.（分数：2.50）A.toldB.declaredC.viewedD
38、.witnessed 解析：解析 witness 做动词，以人做主语表示“见证，目睹”。在正式文体和文学作品中也可以以年代做主语。本句可译为“19 世纪后半叶目睹了交通工具的稳步改善”或“交通工具在 19世纪后半叶有了稳步改善”。如：This century has witnessed the steady growth of urban centers.19.Jean Wagner“s most enduring contribution to the study of Afro-American poetry is his insistence that it _ in a religio
39、us, as well as worldly, frame of reference.（分数：2.50）A.is to be analyzedB.were analyzedC.be analyzed D.should have been analyzed解析：解析 动词 insist在表示“坚持要”时，其宾语从句的谓语动词需用虚拟语气。同样，名词insistence的同位语从句的谓语动词也需用虚拟语气。20.The millions of calculations involved, had they been done by hand, _ all practical value by th
40、e time they were finished.（分数：2.50）A.could loseB.would have lost C.might loseD.ought to have lost解析：解析 本题测试虚拟语气过去时，“had they been done by hand”(“如果用手计算的话”)为省略了 if的虚拟条件句，所以主句应选 would have lost。21.You should have put the milk in the icebox; I expect it _ undrinkable by now.（分数：2.50）A.becameB.had becom
41、eC.becomesD.has become 解析：解析 本题测试现在完成时。22._ that they may eventually reduce the amount of labour needed on construction sites by 90 percent.（分数：2.50）A.So clever are the construction robots B.So clever the construction robots areC.Such construction robots are cleverD.Such clever construction robots a
42、re解析：解析 so clever are the construction robots 为倒装句，由 so修饰的形容词或副词放在句首时一般要用倒装语序，后面跟表示结果的 that从句。23.Prof. Ward hardly ever went to _ the theater.（分数：2.50）A.neither the cinema norB.either the cinema norC.neither the cinema orD.either the cinema or 解析：解析 由 eitheror引导的成分要对等。A 虽然结构上可选，但句中已有 hardly，所以句意不合适。
43、24.It isn“t cold enough for there _ a frost tonight, so I can leave Jim“s car out quite safely.（分数：2.50）A.would beB.to be C.wasD.being解析：解析 for 引导带逻辑主语的不定式 for sb. to do sth.，本句中的 there做形式主语，不定式就是 to be a frost。如：“该吃药了”应说：It“s time to take the medicine.如果要说“他在等到该吃药的时间再吃药”，就应说：He“s waiting for it to
44、be time to take the medicine.25.If an earthquake occurred, room of the one-storey houses _.（分数：2.50）A.might be left standB.might leave to be standingC.might be left to standD.might be left standing 解析：解析 leave 后面跟带现在分词的复合结构。26.By the first decade of the 21st century, international commercial air tra
45、ffic is expected _ vastly beyond today“s levels.（分数：2.50）A.to have extended B.being extendedC.to be extendingD.having been extended解析：解析 expect 后面跟带不定式的复合结构 expect sb. to do sth.；如果要表示“预料在将来某个时间某人会做完某事”，就应说 expect sb. to have done sth.(后面跟一个表示时间的状语)，因此变为被动语态就成了本题的 commercial traffic is expected to h
46、ave extended beyond today“s levels。27._ they must learn in a course is not provided in the classroom.（分数：2.50）A.Many thingsB.Much of what C.So muchD.All of which解析：解析 much of what they must learn in a course 意为“他们在一门课程中所必须学到的很多东西”。28.The professor can hardly find sufficient grounds _ his argument in

48、mB.whoC.as D.that解析：解析 as we had expected 意为“正如我们所预料的那样”。有的语法书将 as分析为关系代词，代替主句所谈的情况。这样用的 as从句既可以放在主句之后，也可以放在主句之前，但做关系代词用的that，which，who 只能放在先行词之后。30.Tom _ better than to ask Dick for help.（分数：2.50）A.shall knowB.has knownC.shouldn“t knowD.should have known 解析：解析 know better than to do sth.=be wise enough not to do sth.意为“懂得不该；非常精明不至于干(某种蠢事)”。should have known better than to ask Dick for help“应懂得不该向迪克请求帮助”。31.He often sat in
