27、: There are thirty sentences in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence.(分数:2.00)_解析:2.He asked me to lend him some money, which I agreed to do, _ that he paid me back the following week.2005
28、(分数:2.00)A.on occasionB.on purposeC.on conditionD.only if解析:解析:根据句意,此空应该填连词on condition that引导条件状语从句,故选项C正确。3.Fool _ Jane is, she could not have done such a thing.2002(分数:2.00)A.whoB.asC.thatD.like解析:解析:as引导让步状语从句引起倒装。前置的名词前不能使用任何冠词,故选项B正确。4.Acute hearing helps most animals sense the approach of thu
29、nderstorms long before people _.2000(分数:2.00)A.doB.hearC.do themD.hearing it解析:解析:在before引导的时间状语从句中使用助动词do来代替sense the approach of thunderstorms,故选项A正确。5.Quality is _ counts most.2008(分数:2.00)A.whichB.thatC.whatD.where解析:解析:考查表语从句连接词。表语从句中缺少表物的主语,故需填入what,答案为C。what counts most相当于all that counts most
30、,意思是“最重要的(东西)”。6.He is quite worn out from years of hard work. He is not the man _ he was twenty years ago.2003(分数:2.00)A.whichB.thatC.whoD.whom解析:解析:这里的the man并不指某个人,而是表示“这样的人”,指这类人的状态、属性、身份,特点,所以不能选择whowhom,同时which也不合题意。因此本句中的限制性定语从句需要用关系代词that引导,表示强调。7.Have you ever been in a situation _ you know
31、 the other person is right yet you cannot agree with him?2002(分数:2.00)A.by whichB.thatC.in whereD.where解析:解析:关系副词where在此句中引导定语从句修饰先行词situation,其相当于in which,故选项D正确。8.The experiment requires more money than _.2002(分数:2.00)A.have been put inB.being put inC.has been put inD.to be put in解析:解析:句中than引导比较状
32、语从句,从句中的主语被省略,另外money为不可数名词,故用has been put in,选项C正确。9._, he is ready to accept suggestions from different sources.1997(分数:2.00)A.Instead of his contributionsB.For all his notable contributionsC.His making notable contributionsD.However his notable contributions解析:解析:for all相当于despite或in spite of,表示“
33、尽管,虽然”,常用来引导让步性短语;若用however,应说however notable his contributions are,所以本题应选B。10.I have never been to London, but that is the city _.1997(分数:2.00)A.where I like to visit mostB.Id most like to visitC.which I like to visit mostlyD.where Id like most to visit解析:解析:根据题意,the city在定语从句中作visit宾语,故关系代词应用which
34、或省略掉,而不能用where,故排除选项A、D。mostly表示“几乎全部,大多,多半”,并不表示“最”,所以正确答案为B。11.In his plays Shakespeare _ his characters live through their language. 2008(分数:2.00)A.would makeB.had madeC.madeD.makes解析:解析:本句描述的是莎翁的戏剧,说的是莎翁的写作风格、特点,是事实性的东西,因此应该用一般现在时。12.The committee has anticipated the problems that _ in the road
35、construction project.2007(分数:2.00)A.ariseB.will ariseC.aroseD.have arisen解析:解析:根据句中的has anticipated可知,这里表示的是现在发生的事情,排除arose。既然是预测,就表示问题还没有出现,因此that引导的从句部分应该使用将来时态,故will arise为正确答案。13.To his astonishment, he saw a rope ladder _ out and three men climbing down it.1995(分数:2.00)A.throwingB.being thrownC
36、.having thrownD.having been thrown解析:解析:a rope ladder是动词throw的承受者,所以要用被动语态,being thrown表示动作正在进行。故选项B正确。14.The student said there were a few points in the essay he _ impossible to comprehend.2007(分数:2.00)A.had foundB.findsC.has foundD.would find解析:解析:主句谓语动词为said,根据时态的呼应排除选项B和C。从句意上来判断,“他发现几点疑问”这一动作发生
37、在他说话之前,不是说话之后,故使用过去完成式。15.Mr. White works for a chemical import-export company, but he _ for this industrial fair, since he is on leave.1997(分数:2.00)A.has workedB.worksC.has been workingD.is working解析:解析:根据句意,用进行时表示暂时的动作,故选项D正确。16.All the Presidents Men _ one of the important books for historians wh
38、o study the Watergate Scandal.2007(分数:2.00)A.remainB.remainsC.remainedD.is remaining解析:解析:All the Presidents Men是一个书名,是单一概念,谓语动词用单数,故选项B正确。17.He would have finished his college education, but he _ to quit and find a job to support his family.2007(分数:2.00)A.had hadB.hasC.hadD.would have解析:解析:第一个分句使用了
39、虚拟语气,would have done表示对过去的虚拟。but后的内容为真实情况,在时态上与前面一致,也是过去时,故用had。18.The research requires more money than _.2007(分数:2.00)A.have been put inB.has been put inC.being put inD.to be put in解析:解析:本句中连词than后面省略了主语it,此处it指代的是前面提到的money,因此要求后面的动词用单数;从语义上来看,这里是比较需要的钱和已经投入的钱,故用现在完成式has been put in,故B正确。19.The s
40、tatistics _ that living standards in the area have improved drastically in recent times.2006(分数:2.00)A.provesB.is provingC.are provingD.prove解析:解析:statistics表示“统计学”时,为单数名词;表示“统计数据”时,是复数形式。根据句意,本题应该选择D。20.James has just arrived, but I didnt know he _ until yesterday.2005(分数:2.00)A.will comeB.was comi
41、ngC.had been comingD.came解析:解析:进行时可以表示即将发生的动作或计划好要做的事,再加上本句主句时态是过去时,所以know引导的从句中谓语应该为was coming。21.It is futile to discuss the matter further, because _ going to agree upon anything today.2003(分数:2.00)A.neither you nor I areB.neither you nor me isC.neither you nor I amD.neither me nor you are解析:解析:n
42、eithernor连接的并列成分作主语时,根据就近一致的原则处理。因此谓语动词和I保持一致,用am,故C正确。22._conscious of my moral obligations as a citizen.2005(分数:2.00)A.I was and always will beB.I have to be and always will beC.I had been and always will beD.I have been and always will be解析:解析:根据句意,“我一直铭记”表示时间一直到现在为止,应该用现在完成时;“将继续信守”表示将来,要用将来时。因此
43、选项D为正确答案。23.Jack _ from home for two days now, and I am beginning to worry about his safety.2003(分数:2.00)A.has been missingB.has been missedC.had been missingD.was missed解析:解析:根据句意,“失踪”动作发生在过去,并一直延续到现在,故用现在完成进行时,选项A正确。24._ is not a serious disadvantage in life.2001(分数:2.00)A.To be not tallB.Not to be tallC.Being not tallD.Not being tall解析:解析:非谓语动词的否定式,要直接在非谓语动词前加not,因此可以直接排除选项A和C。动名词和不定式都可以作句子主语,但动名词表示一贯性动作,不定式表示具体的一次性动作。个子不高是一个事实,应用动名词形式,所以选项D正确。25.I never regretted _ the offer, for it was not
