28、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. 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 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。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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。 3 【
29、正确答案】 A 【试 题解析】 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。 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 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,意思是 “最重要的(东西 )”。 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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 who whom,同时 which也不合
30、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。 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 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。 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 句中 than引导比较状语从句,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。 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 for all相当于 despite或 in spite of,表示 “尽管,虽然 ”,常用来引导让步性短语;若用 however,应说 however notab
31、le his contributions are,所以本题应选 B。 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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。 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 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。 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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
32、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。 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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。 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 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 ”这一动作发生在他说话之前,不是说话之后,故使用过去完成式。 14 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 根据句意,用进行时表示暂时的动作,故选项 D正确。 15 【正确答案】 B 【试
33、题解析】 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。 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 第一个分句使 用了虚拟语气, 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。 17 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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。 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 s
34、tatistics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。 19 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 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。 20 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 neither nor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。 21 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 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
35、。因此选项 D为正确答案。 22 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 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。 23 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 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。 24 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 to regret doing sth表示 “后悔做过某事 ”,即某事已经发生了; to regret to do sth表示 “对做某事感到
36、遗憾 ”。根据句意,可以排除 A。由于 regret后的内容并不强调事情发生的时间,所以可以排除 B和 C。因此, D项为正确答案。 25 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本句中主语 he和 obtain之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此是现在分词短语作原因状语;由于 “没弄到门票 ”发生在 “看电视 ”之前,这里应该使用现在分词的完成式,否定词 not应该置于整个现在分词结构之前,因此本题应该选择C。 26 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 句子的主语是 the situation,动词 look和主语之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词形式,故选项 B正确。 27 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 现在分词
37、作条件状语时,其否定形式需要将否定词放在现在分词的前面。因此,本题正确答案为 A。 28 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 介词 of后要跟名词或动名词构成介词宾语,而 there be a general election的名词结构为 there being a general election。因 此,选项 A正确。 29 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 object to doing这个固定词组中 to是介词,后跟动名词作宾语,表示 “反对 ”,因此选项 D正确。 30 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 if引导的条件状语从句中的主语和谓语动词被省略了,完整的应该是 if Jack is n
38、ot treated。因此本题应该选择 B。 31 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 动词 believe用作被动态,之后应接动词不定式 to do,而不能跟that从句,为了表示正在进行的事,也可 使用不定式的进行式 to be doing,因此 B为正确答案。 32 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据句子结构可知,句子的第一部分应该是主句的条件状语,独立主格结构 time permitting相当于条件状语从句 if time permits,故 B正确。 33 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 be said to be表示 “据说 (目前 )是 ”,由于本句的时间状语为 over the
39、 past few years,所以要求这里的不定式要使用完成式表示过去已经发生的事,故选项 C正确。 34 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 there be句型可以使用独立主格形式作主句的原因状语,根据句意,选 C。 35 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据句子结构可知,逗号前面的部分作状语,而 give与逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,因此用过去分词 given。故正确答案为选项 C。 36 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 only to do(only to be done表被动 )常出现在句末表示 “不料竟会,没想到会 ”,作主句的结果状语。因此,本题应该选择 C。 37 【正确答案】 C
40、【试题解析】 It is said to do表示 “据说做了 ” ,不定式的完成式 to have done表示不定式的动作先于谓语动词前完成,而本句中的 “去年的研究取得重大进展 ”先于 “据说 ”,因此选项 C正确。 38 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 as可引导让步状语从句,需将让步的成分提前,故 D正确。 39 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 在由 “祈使句 +附加疑问 ”构成的反意疑问句中,反意疑问部分用will you, wont you, would you等,故选项 D正确。 40 【正确 答案】 A 【试题解析】 考查倍数的表达。 “A is倍数 +the size of
41、 B”(A是 B的几倍大小 ),这是固定用法,中间不需要加任何词,故选 A。 41 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 虚拟语气中的反意疑问句,后半句的动词应由前面的主句动词定,would have been的疑问式应是 wouldnt,故 C正确。 42 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本句改自爱尔兰谚语: Theres as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it原意为:海里的好鱼是取之不尽的。故 C正确。 43 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 not so muchas 意为 “与其说 不如说 ” ,根据句意,故 C正确。 44 【正确答案】
42、A 【试题解析】 what可以作为一个关系代词,表示 “就像 一样 ”,用于句型 X is to Y what X1 is to Y1,表示 “X之于 Y正如 X1之于 Y1”,故答案为 A。 45 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 than引导的比较状语从句中主语省略掉了,故 A正确。 46 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 考查祈使句的反意疑问句。主句是否定形式,反意疑问句要用肯定形式,所以排除 B和 D;表示邀请的祈使句的反意疑问结构一般用 will,故选C。 47 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 of a+n相当于一个形容词,表示具有后面那个名词的性质;它的比较级和形容词一样,也要用 mo
43、re来修饰,因此 more of a sportsman为正确答案。 48 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 not so much as引导一个否定性比较结构,表示 “与其 不如 ” 的意思,其 中的 much是副词,表示程度。因此本题应该选择A。 49 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 among与形容词最高级形式连用,表示 “在最 的一类中 ”,因此本题应该选择 C。 50 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 no less than 表示 “在 方面不比 差 ”。 no more than表示 “和 一样,都不 ” 。因此, A正确。 51 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 as much as表示同等程度的比较,意为 “和 同等程度 ”, C相当于 as引导的从句省略了主语和部 分谓语,即 language belongs。因此,本题应该选择 C项。 the same as一般只作表语或定语。 as long as表示 “只要 ”, as far as表示 “和 一样远 ”。 52 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 答案为 B。空格前后都是数字的比较,一般用 as,故 B正确。
