34、的状语，所以用过去时。问题:2. I would rather you (come) _ yesterday.答案:had come虚拟语气。我真希望你昨天来了。(其实没有来)would rather+从句，这种从句常常是省去that的从句，从句谓语用过去时表示还不是事实；用过去完成时表示与过去事实相反。问题:3.

36、名词或动名词。问题:6.

I recommend this book for children for its (simple) _.答案:simplicity词性转换(形容词变名词)。因为这本书很简单，所以我把它推荐给孩

37、子们。根据句子结构，its后面需要一个名词做宾语，simple的名词为simplicity，意为“简单”。问题:8.

There are poor children without homes, who sleep in the streets,

38、 and live in (miserably) _.答案:misery词性转换(副词变名词)。有一些孩子无家可归，他们睡在大街上，生活在困苦之中。根据句子结构，介词in后面应接名词做宾语，miserably的名词为misery，意为“悲惨，不幸，痛苦”。问题:10. She is by far (active) _ member in our group.答案:the most active形容词最高级。他是我们组最活跃的成员。形容词最高级在使用时，前面通常要加定冠词，并有一个短语或从句表示在哪个范围内情况如此。在本句中，因为有介词短语in our group限定了范围，所以使用最高级。另外

39、，注意短语by far既可用来修饰比较级，也可用来修饰最高级，修饰比较级时应放在比较级的后面，修饰最高级时应放在最高级的前面。Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil.
