36、arked C to mark D mark 答案： B 试题分析：句意：在许多火车和汽车上，有一些专门的座位被事先划定给老人。seats 与 mark之间为被动关系，故使用过去分词。 考点：考查非谓语动词作后置定语。 点评：非谓语动词作定语。关键看它和句子主语之间的关系。如果是和句子主语之间构成主动关系，使用现在分词，若构成被动关系，使用过去分词。若表目的，使用不定式。 The number of foreigners that _ to Huaihua _still increasing. A come; is B comes; is C come; are D comes; are 答案
37、： A 试题分析： that引导一个定语从句，先行词为 foreigners，故从句的谓语动词应用复数形式，而主句的主语是 The number of foreigners ，、 “the number +复数名词 ”作主语时，谓语用单数。故选 A。 考点：考查主谓一致。 点评：主谓一致主要遵循的三个原则：语法一致，意义一致，就近原则。主谓一致重点在熟记一些规则。即学即练 : The number of people invited _fifty， but a number of them _absent for different reasons. A. were; was B. was;
38、was C. was; were D. were; were 选 C After school we went to the reading-room to do some reading, only to be told that it .

43、在休息室，面试官会开始对你的判断。 考点：考查时态。 点评： as soon as 的用法一般是两种情况： 1指未发生的动作，规律是：主句一般将来时，从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时注：有时，为了特意表达刚刚完成某事就如何如何，需要用现在完成时。如： I will go with you as soon as I have washed my face.2指紧接着发生的两个短动作，主从句都用一般过去时如 He took out his English books as soon as he sat down My father worked day and night. Otherwise, t
44、here _ no one to support the family. A would be B must be C would have been D must have been 答案： C 试题分析：从信息词 Otherwise可以看出是一个含蓄条件句，再从动词 worked 可以看出是与过去相反，故主句使用 would have been。本句可以改写为 if引导的条件状语从句： if my father hadnt worded day and night,there would have been no one to support the family. 考点：考查虚拟语气。
45、点评：含蓄条件句将条件隐含在某些连词 (如 or, or else, otherwise等 )中。还有将条件隐含在介词短语中（如 with ,without,but for等）。 即学即练 :But for the help of my English teacher, I _ the first prize in the English Writing Competition. A. would not win B. would not have won C. would win D. would have 选 B Not until he had left his friend _ how
46、 important friendship was for him. A did he realize B he realized C had he realized D he had realized 答案： A 试题分析： 1.当 Not until位于句首时 ,句子要倒装。其结构为 :Not until+从句 /表时间的词 +助动词 +(主句 )主语 +谓语 +.。故排除 BD， realize发生在 had left 之后，故用一般过去时。 Not until next week will the sports meet be held.直到下周才开运动会。 考点：部 分倒装。 点评：
47、当 Not until位于句首时 ,句子要倒装。 即学即练： It _ we had stayed together for a couple of weeks _ I found we had a lot in common. A. was until; when B. was until; that C. wasnt until; when D. wasnt until; that 选 D The young manager is well known for his problem-solving skills, _ is important for a successful leade
48、r. A it B that C what D which 答案： D 试题分析：考查定语从句。先行词是 skills，从句缺主语，指物，故用 D.that 不能引导非限制性定语从句。句意：年轻的经理以他解决问题的能力而出名，这对于一个成功的领导而言很重要。 考点：考查定语从句 点评：定语从句考查定语从句的考查关键在于定语从句的成分分析，如果缺少主语，宾语，表语，定语就使用关 系代词，如果句子很完整，就使用关系副词。另外记住 that不能引导非限制性定语从句。 即学即练： the letter is from my sister, _is working in beijing. A. Which B. that C. whom D. Who ： who引导非限制性定语从句 ,who作从句的主语，故选 D In order to find the missing boy, the young couple all they can over the past twenty-fo
