9、 考点：考察教育类短文阅读 单项选择 * Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys but now they are taking just _. A as much B so much C as many D so many 答案： C 试题分析： 考察省略句。句义：过去的女学生很少像男生那样参加高度书序的考试，但是现在他们参加的高等数学的考试和男生一样多。本句实际上是 as many advanced math courses as boys。承前省略了 advanced math courses as boys。因为
10、 course是一个可数名词，所以使用 many修饰。故 C正确。 考点：考察省略句 Much as he _ he has a good command of English, he sometimes feels it hard to find an appropriate version for some Chinese idioms. A complains B declares C confirms D claims 答案： D 试题分析： 考察动词词义辨析。 A 抱怨； B 宣布（国家的重大事件）； C 确认，确定； D声称；认领；句义：尽管他声称他的英语很好，但是有时候他也发现很
11、难找到一个合适的中文习语来搭配英文的含义。故 D正确。 考点：考察动词词义辨析 Could it be in the restaurant in _ you had dinner with me yesterday _ you left behind your keys and wallet A which; which B which; that C that; where D where; that 答案： B 试题分析： 考察强调句型和定语从句。本题第一空是定语从句，先行词是 the restaurant,在定语从句中 which指代先行词作为介词 in的宾语。第二空的 that与前面的
12、 it could be是强调句型的结构。句义：是在昨天你和我吃饭的餐厅里你忘记了你的钱包和钥匙了吗？故 B正确。能够准确把握句子结构是关键。另外要知道强调句的结构 It is/was+被强调部分 +that+句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分是人，可以用 who代替 that。具体是用 is还是 was，要根据具体的时态确定。强调句的用法及判断，一般说来，如果把句子中的 It is/wasthat 去掉，稍加调整语序，能还原成完整的句子，并且句子意思依然完整，则为强调句型，否则为其他从句， 我们应熟记这些基本规则。 考点：考察强调句型和定语从句 Every possible means _ t
13、o prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear. A is used B are used C has been used D have been used 答案： C 试题分析： 考察主谓一致。本题主语中的名词 means是一个单复数同形的名词，要在具体语境中判断是单数还是复数。本句中的形容词 every后面通常要节单数名词，故使用 AC，根据句义说明这是已经发生的事情，故使用现在完 成时。句义：每一种可能的方法都已经被使用来预防空气污染，但是天空仍然不晴朗。故 C正确。 考点：考察主谓一致 _ the PX proje
14、ct will be called off depends, for it still needs more research and discussion. A That B Whether C Where D What 答案： B 试题分析： 考察主语从句。句义： PX工程是否要会取消还要看情况而定，因为它还需要更多的研究和讨论。前面的主语从句 the PX project will be called off是一个被动语态的形式，句子结构是很完整的。不能使用 what，因为 what在句中要充当句子成分的。 Where的语义不配。 That与上下文的意思不配。故 B正确。主语从句是在复合
15、句中充当主语的从句，通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语 it代替，而本身放在句子末尾。解答这类题目，关键在于分析清楚句子结构。通过判断引导词在从句中所作的成分及意义，来选择正确的引导词。连接主语从句的从属连词主要有 that, if, whether，和疑问词（ what how where when .)。 that引导表示陈述句的主语从句， if和 whether， whether.or not引导表示 “是否 ”，引导一般疑问句。连接代词主要有who,whom,whose,what,whoever,whomever,whosever,whatever,whichever等。连接代词一般
16、指疑问，但 what, whatever除了指疑问外，也可以指陈述。连接副词主要有 when, where, why, how, whenever, wherever, however等 . 考点：考察主语从句 Those who are always talking loudly in public should remind _ of the feelings of other people. A them B themselves C theirs D oneself 答案： B 试题分析： 考察反身代词。本句的主语是 those，故使用 themselves作为 those的反身代词，
17、作为动词 remind的宾语。句义：那些总是在公众场所大声说话的人应该提醒自己注意别人的感受。故 B正确。 考点：考察反身代词 Young as he is, Sunyang must have gained _ rich experience in _ society as well as sports. A the; the B a; / C /; / D /; the 答案： C 试题分析： 考察冠词。第一空后的名词 experience作为经验的时候，是一个不可数名词。不能用 a修饰。第二空后的名词 society是一个抽象名词社会，要单独使用，不需要冠词。句义：尽管年轻，但是孙杨在社
18、会和体育方面都已经 有了丰富的经验。故 C正确。 考点：考察冠词 -How are you getting on with your English study -_. I tried my best, though. A Very good B Much better C Couldnt be better. D Couldnt be worse. 答案： D 试题分析： 考察形容词比较级用法。形容词的比较级用法中很重要的一个就是比较级和否定词连用，表示最高级的含义。句义： 你的英语学习进展地如何？ 再糟糕不过了！不过我会努力的。根据 “我会努力的 ”。可知实际情况不是很好，故 D正确。 考
19、点：考察形容词比较级用法 -I really thought Id be offered the job. -Oh, well, _, Clark. A you are right B best wishes C congratulations D better luck next time 答案： D 试题分析： 考察交际用语。 A你是对的； B祝福你； C祝贺你！ D下次好运！句义： 我真的以为我被提供了这份工作。 好的，下次好运吧！根据前一句可知实际上他并没有得到这份工作。故第二句表示祝愿对方下次好运。故 D正确。 考点：考察交际用语 Everything on the news _ a
20、 whole new meaning when you have a personal connection with the people. A takes up B takes on C takes away D takes off 答案： B 试题分析： 考察动词短语辨析。 A占据，从事于，开始做； B雇佣，呈现，承担； C带走； D起飞，脱掉，成功；句义：当你和新闻里的每个人都由私人联系的时候，新闻里的每一件事情都有完全新的意思。故 B正确。 考点：考察动词短语辨析 In case of fire, stay low to the ground in a smoky room, _ s
21、moke always rises towards the ceiling. A as B when C while D once 答案： A 试题分析： 考察连词辨析。 A 因为，随着； C 当 时； C 当 时；然而；尽管；D一旦；句义：万一遇见了火灾，在有烟的房间里要弯腰到地面，因为烟总是向上到天花板的。根据句义说明上下文之间有因果关系，故使用 as 连接上下文。故 A正确。 考点：考察连词辨析 _many times, the determined man didnt give up and was finally offered a position in the firm. A B
22、eing refused B Refusing C Having been refused D To be refused 答案： C 试题分析：考察非谓语动词用法。本题考察了分词做状语， having been done在做状语的时候可以和 done互换使用，两者既可以强调被动，也可以强调已经完成。但侧重不同， having been done更多强调的是已经完成，而 done更多强调的是被动。 本题中主句主语 the determined man与动词 refused构成被动关系，故使 having been done强调多次被拒绝。句义：尽管多次被拒绝，但这个意志坚定的人没有放弃，最后在
23、公司里得到了一份工作。故 C正确。 考点：考察非谓语动词用法 If you like art and enjoy looking at the pictures, _ is an interest. A which B that C as D what 答案： B 试题分析： 考察句子结构和代词。本题前句中有连词 if，说明后面的是主句。不是从句。所以不能使用 which , as, what来引导。本句中的 that指代上文提及的 like art and enjoy looking at the pictures的事情。句义：如果你喜欢艺术也喜欢看这些图片，你们这样的事情肯定是有趣的。故正
24、确。 考点：考察句子结构和代词 -Is that Wenfeng Road over there -It _ be, Im not sure. A can B could C must D should 答案： B 试题分析： 考察情态动词。 A可能，能够； B也许，可能（语气较弱，很委婉）； C一定，必须； D应该；句义： 那边就 是文峰路吗？ 可能是的，我也不确定。根据 I am not sure说明后者的把握性也不大。故使用 would表示很不确定的推测。故 B正确。 考点：考察情态动词 -May I speak to your manager at four oclock this a
25、fternoon -Im sorry. He _ to a conference long before then. A will have gone B had gone C would go D has gone 答案： A 试题分析： 考察时态。本题的关键词是 long before then，之中的 then是一个将来的时间 at five oclock this afternoon。这个时间状语表示的是在将来一个时间之前就完成的动作，故使用将来完成时的时态。句义： 在今天下午 5点之前我可以和你们的经理聊聊吗？ 对不起，在那之前很久他就已经去参加一个会议了。故 A正确。 考点：考察时
