六、作文(1题)66.一位学者将在你所在的社区做一个讲座。请以社区委员会(NeighborhoodsCommittee)的名义写一份通知。内容包括：(1)谁做讲座;(2)讲座主题;(3)讲座的时间、地点;(4)讲座对象。

参考答案

1.C

2.A本句考查两个并列句之间的连接的词。题干的意思是：“气球能够浮在空气中正如船能够浮在海面上一样。”在四个选项中，只有A项的justas有“正如，犹如”的意思。故选A。

3.B

4.C

5.C解析：much用在句中修饰比较级better。

6.C解析：本题考查倒装虚拟语气用法。本句是表示与将来事实相反，所以从句用wereto形式。句意为：如果他今天出发的话，他就会在星期五以前到达那里。

7.D

8.D

9.A解析：反问疑问句的陈述部分是肯定式时，疑问部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反问疑问句，疑问部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以选项A是正确的。

10.D解析：本题考查动词搭配。doone'shomework“做作业”；makemistakes“犯错误”。句意为：做作业，还要保证别犯错误。

11.A解析：while意为“虽然”；as意为“因为”；if意为“如果”；since意为“因为”。根据题意选A。

12.A解析：此题考查反意疑问句的用法。主句为祈使句，因此其反意疑问句用willyou。

13.D

14.C解析：句子的前半部分是主语从句，主语从句中的谓语动词时态应根据句意而定。

15.B解析：takemeasures意思为“采取措施”，本句应用被动语态。

16.D

17.C解析：副词so置于句首，句子应该用倒装语序，某人受伤用sb.beinjured来表示，故答案为C。

18.A本题考查祈使句型：

【应试指导】句意：Mary，到这里来，其余的人待在原处。根据句子的结构可判断出这是个祈使句。所以要用动词原形开头。Mary在句中不是

主语，而是“呼语”。

19.D

20.C解析：notonly…butalso连接主语时，谓语动词根据就近原则由butalso后的成分来决定。TomandMary是两个人，所以动词用复数形式。
