47、ere are ten incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.1 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题属于语法中否定词位于句首，需要将句子的助动词和主语位置颠倒的倒装句型考点。“Scarcely“
48、属于否定词，所以应该选倒装句型结构 A。这类句型的意义在于在句子的语气上起强调否定作用。B 和 D 项不是倒装句型；C 项的正确倒装句型应该是“did I see” 。2 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题考查的是“would rather“的用法，其后跟从句中谓语用过去时。因此 D 项为正确答案。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 根据主语可判断出时间为过去时。 4 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 to a large extent 为固定搭配。5 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 cause 意为“引起“；vary 意为“变化，改变 “；describe 意为“描述“；impress 意为 “留下
49、印象“ 。6 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 根据空白处前后内容可推知，缺少一个关系代词来引导非限定性定语从句，此关系代词指人，在从句中作宾语，只有 whom 合适；that 不可引导非限定性定语从句。7 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 四个选项的意思分别为：A“可接受的 ”；B “可得到的，可买到的，可借到的”；C“可取的，适当的，贤明的”； D“可应用的，合适的，可适用的”。 8 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 called in 意为“回收”；called off 意为“取消”；called up 意为“召集，打电话，使人想起”；called on 意为“访问(某人)”。 9 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 注意本题的引导词 which 既做时间从句的引导词，也是从句的宾语。A 选项 when 只是引导词但起不了作宾语的作用。由于从句的谓语动词为及
