22、t，故答案为 b)。10.it was suggested that the construction_ahead of time.（分数：2.00）a.is completedb.was completedc.be completed d.must complete解析：解析：本题考查虚拟语气。虚拟语气用在包含suggest，demand，propose等表示建议、命令等的主语从句、宾语从句中时，从句谓语动词常为“(should+)动词原形”。又由于从句中的主语 the construction与后面的动词是被动关系，故本题答案为 c)。11.only when class began_th

23、at he had lost his bag in the street.（分数：2.00）a.will he realizeb.he did realizec.did he realize d.should he realize解析：解析：本题考查倒装结构。当“only+状语状语从句”位于句首时，主句要用部分倒装结构，即将助动词或情态动词放在主语前面，且主句的时态为过去时，所以答案为 c)。12.all the preparations for the task_, and we re ready to start.（分数：2.00）a.completedb.completec.have c

24、ompletedd.have been completed 解析：解析：本题考查现在完成时的被动语态。表示已经发生的动作对现在产生的影响时，应用现在完成时态。all thepreparations和 complete之间是被动关系，所以应用被动语态，因此空格处应用现在完成时的被动语态，所以答案为 d)。13.do you know_they talked about yesterday evening?（分数：2.00）a.what b.whenc.whyd.how解析：解析：本题考查宾语从句。本题空格处所填词既要能引导一个从句作know的宾语，又能作talked about的宾语，这种情况下

25、，只能用 what，故选 a)。14.many a specialist_ looking forward to attending that conference now and they_ plantsin the last two years to prepare for it.（分数：2.00） a.is: have been studying b.is: has been studyingc.are: have been studyingd.is: are studying解析：解析：本题考查主谓一致。many a意为“很多”，但它强调个体，即“每一个”，因此谓语动词应用单数形式。句

26、中的时间状语是 in the last two years，说明句中谓语动词表示的动作发生在过去；结合句意可知，这一动作从两年前开始一直持续到现在，将来可能还会继续，因此第二个空格所在分句应用现在完成进行时，故 a)正确。15.i dont think you can finish the project in one month, _?（分数：2.00）a.dont ib.can ic.can you d.cant you解析：解析：本题考查反义疑问句。对于含有宾语从句的主从复合句，若陈述句为 iwe(dont)+think，believe，expect等表示想法、意见、猜测的动词+宾语从句

27、，反义疑问句的谓语动词和主语应同宾语从句的谓语动词和主语保持一致。如果主句是否定式，反义疑问句要用肯定式；如果主句是肯定式，反义疑问句要用否定式。因此，本题答案为 c)。16.tracy said the work would be done by july, _personally i doubt very much.（分数：2.00）a.itb.thatc.whend.which 解析：解析：本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，逗号后应是一个 which引导的非限制性定语从句，which既指代前面整个句子，同时又作后面句子中 doubt的宾语，故答案为 d)。17.on weekends

28、there are a lot of children playing in the park, _parents seated togetherjoking.（分数：2.00）a.their b.whosec.whichd.that解析：解析：本题考查独立主格结构。seat作动词时，意为“(房间、车辆、桌子等)坐得下人，能提供给座位”，主语为人时，句子用被动语态，因此空格后的动词 seated不是谓语，而是 seat这个动词的过去分词，即非谓语动词，由此可知逗号后面的成分在本句作独立主格结构，所以答案为 a)。18.tom said in his letter that he would a

29、ppreciate_from you as soon as possible.（分数：2.00）a.to have heardb.to hearc.for hearingd.hearing 解析：解析：本题考查动名词。即 appreciatedoing sth是常考用法，表示“感激做某事”，只有 d)符合要求。19.section bdirections: there are also 5 incomplete statements hereyou should fill in eachblank with the proper form of the word given in the br

30、ackets_解析： 20.it is(embarrass) 1to be found stealing something.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：embarrassing）解析：解析：本题考查词形转换。在本题中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式结构 to be found stealingsomething。is是系动词，后面应该跟形容词作表语。embarrass为动词，其形容词形式有 embarrassing和 embarrassed两种，因主语为事件，故此处应该填入 embarrassing“令人尴尬的，使人难堪的”。21.helen isnt her

31、e because i forgot(telephone) 1her.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：to telephone）解析：解析：本题考查不定式。forget后接不定式作宾语，表示“忘记要去做某事”；其后也可跟动名词，表示“忘记已经做过某事”。由主句可知，“我”忘记要给海伦打电话，故空格处应填 to telephone。22.earthquakes often cause great(destroy) 1of life and property.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：destruction）解析：解析：本题考查词形转换。分析句

32、子结构可知，空格处作动词 cause的宾语，因此应填入名词。destroy是动词，其名词形式是 destruction。23.by the end of last month, our factory(produce) 13 000 motors.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：had produced）解析：解析：本题考查过去完成时。由句首的时间状语可知，句子应用过去完成时，表示到过去某个时间为止已经发生或完成的动作，故空格处应填 had produced。24.the teacher warned that anyone who was caught(cheat)

33、1during the test would be punished.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：正确答案：cheating）解析：解析：本题考查现在分词。在that引导的宾语从句中，又含有一个 who引导的定语从句，在此定语从句中，who为主语，谓语动词为 was caught，其后应接现在分词说明主语在被捉住时发生的动作，因此，空格处应填 cheating。三、 reading comprehension(总题数：11，分数：50.00)25.part iii reading comprehension (40 minutes)directions: this part
