You are required to complete each one by deciding
45、on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A , B, C, and D. 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题考查非谓语动词分词的用法。根据意思和结构，只有 A和 D可以做定语来修饰名词。两者的区别在于：现在分词有主动含义，而过去分词含有被动的意思。原句中的 documents(文件 )与 treat(处理 )之 间的关系应该是被动关系，故选 D。 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题考查介词后接名词或动名词的用法。短语 look forward to中的to为介词，后接名词、代词或动名词。含有介词
46、 to的短语还有： pay attention to, be used to(习惯于 )， (object to(反对 )， oppose to(反对 )， devoteto( 致力于 )等，这些短语后接名词、代词、动名词。 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题考查非谓语动词 (不定式的复合结构 )的用法。本题主要 是区别what和 how。如果选择 how，其结构应是： how to do it， do后面缺少宾语。选择what to do，可以理解为逻辑上 what做 do的宾语。 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题考查非谓语动词分词的用法。句子的主语是 “the city”，和
47、 see的关系是被动关系，因此应该用过去分词。本题为过去分词短语做状语。 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题考查虚拟语气的用法。与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，其从句结构为 “主 语 +had done”。在书面语中，如果条件状语从 句的谓语动词有 were，had或 should 等词，可将 if省略，而把 were， had或 should放在主语之前。如：Were I you, I would take an umbrella with me. =If I were you, I would take an umbrella with me. 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题考
48、查非谓语动词不定式的用法。表示感官的一些动词如：see， hear， watch， notice等后面需接不带 to的动词不定式做宾语补足语，与宾语一起构成 复合宾语。但在这些词用作被动结构时，省去的 to需加上，不定式做主语补足语。如： The workers are made to work from day to night. 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题考查冠词的用法。在表示抽象品质或职务时，其前无需加冠词。如： (1) John was captain of the team. (2) He became king. 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题考查情态动词的
49、用法。 could have done表示对 过去发生的事情的一种可能性的推测。 “cant go”表示现在不可能去； “mustnt go”表示现在不许去； “must have gone”表示对过去事情的有把握的一种推测，不用于否定形式。 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题考查形容词的用法。 “asas” 结构中使用形容词或副词的原级， few修饰可数名词， little修饰不可数名词。本题中 words为可数名词，因此应该用： few来修饰。 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题考查定语从句的用法。本题中的先行词是 “city”，所选的关系词应该做 “visit”的宾语，来指代 “city”，即： visit the city。本题中只有关系代词which可以在定语从句中充当宾语。 Task 1 Directions: After readi
