It consists of 2 sectionsSection ADirections: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete

26、 each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A) , B), C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.问题:1. When her neighbor Grandma Wang became ill, the girl often _.A.fitted inB.worked outC

27、.held backD.helped out答案:D解析 当那个女孩的邻居黄奶奶生病的时候，她经常去帮忙。help out表示“救助，协助(渡过难关)”的意思。如：She often helped US out with the washing in the hotel她经常帮助我们旅馆洗东西。fit in意为“装配好”。work out意为“算出(总数)；带来好结果；有预期的结果”，如：Things will work themselves out事情会有好结果的。hold back意为“阻止(=keep back)”，如：No one can hold back the wheel of

28、history谁也无法阻止历史车轮的前进。问题:2. When house caught fire many people helped _ the fire which a few looked on.A.put downB.put awayC.put outD.put off答案:C解析 房子发生火灾时，很多人帮忙灭火，而有少数人站着旁观。put out意为“熄灭；扑灭”，如：The fire was put out at once火立刻被扑灭了。put down意为“写下，记下”，如：He put down all the important details in his noteboo

29、k in case he should forget them他将重要细节都记在笔记本上以免遗忘。put away意为“储存；储存备用；储蓄(=put by)”。如：Every family in our village has some grain put away我们村每户都有储备粮。put off表示“延期；推迟”的意思，如：Dont put off until tomorrow what can be done today今天要做的事不要拖到明天。问题:3. I don t think this room will be big enough to _ all the guests.

30、A. contain B. hold B. keep C. swallow 答案:B解析 我认为这个房间不够容纳所有的宾客。hold在这里意为“容纳；装”，又如：The hall can hold more than 2,000 people这大厅可容下2,000多人。contain vt在表示“包含；容纳；装有”时，指的是一物中含有另一物。如：Beer contains alcohol啤酒含有酒精。keep Vt表示“保持，保存，遵守，经营，看守，拘留，维持”等意思。swallow vt/vi表不“咽，淹没，吞没，取消，忍受，轻信，压制，耗尽；吞下，咽下”等意思。问题:4.

31、ger promised to keep me _ of how our business was going on.A.to be informedB.on informedC.informedD.informing答案:C解析 经理答应让我不断了解我们的业务进展情况。“keep+名词+分词”表示“让(保持)”之意。由于inform是及物动词，me是它的动作对象，所以要用过去分词，则keep的宾语是分词动作的主体。试比较：You should keep him informed of what is going Off there你应当不断让他知道那里发生的情况。问题:5. It is re

32、commended that the project _ until all the preparations have been made.A.is not startedB.will not be startedC.not be startedD.is not to be started答案:C解析 建议在一切准备工作做好后再开始这一项目。在demand，desire，insist，order，propose，recommand，request，suggest等表示“建议、命令、愿望”等的动词后，宾语从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气，即动词原形或Should+动词原形。例如：we suggeste

33、d that his project(should)be discussed in detail我们建议详细讨论他的计划。本题的结构是“It+这类动词的被动语态+that从句”，that引导的是主语从句，这种主语从句中的谓语动词同样要用虚，拟语气，其形式同样是动词原形或“should+动词原形”，所以选项c是答案d又如；It is requested that every guest(should)bring a gift with him for exchange要求两位客人带一件礼物跟别人交换。问题:6. Thus _ between England and France which wa

34、s to last for 100 years.A.broke out a warB.did a war break outC.a war broke outD.was a war broken答案:B解析 就这样，英法爆发了持续百年的战争。句中副词thus受到了强调，又因主语部分特别长，所以完全倒装。但thus放在句首时，并非必须倒装。另外，thus还有“因此”之义。如：Thus，he was able to finish the project quickly那样，他就能很快完成该项目。We have failed，Thus we have to take the consequences

35、我们失败了，因此，我们只得承担后果。问题:7. The residents, _ had been damaged by the flood, were given help by the government.A.all their homesB.all of which homesC.all of whose homesD.all of their homes答案:C解析 居民们由于家园在洪灾中被毁而受到了政府的救助。从题干的结构看，如果选择选项A或D，则整个句子结构就会受到破坏。选项A当中，which使用不当。若选C，则可使两个逗号之间形成非限制性定语从句，whose用来代替reside

36、nts的所有格形式。非限定性定语从句的关系代词前经常可以附加其他成分。再如：We need an electric motor，the size 0f which must be small我们需要一个电子发动机，机体体积必须小。问题:8. They usually have less money at the end nf the month than _ at the beginning.A.whichB.which wasC.they haveD.it is答案:C解析 他们通常月底时的钱比月初时少。本句中存在一个比较状语从句than at the beginning。在以后两个结构相比

37、较时，后者通常有所省略，than后面完整的句子应是than they have(money) at the beginning(of the month)。选项A和选项B中都有关系代词which，选D就更没有道理了。又如：The steam pressure in the bother is slightly higher than it should be锅炉内的蒸汽压力比应有的压力略高。问题:9. They U. S will never again have as a nation the spirit of adventure as it _ before the West was s

38、ettled.A.couldB.wasC.wouldD.did答案:D解析 作为一个国家来说，美国将不再具备有开拓西部的那种冒险精神。空格中应填入as从句的谓语，从意义来看，应当是had。主句中的have是实义动词，为了避免重复，可以用助动词do代替，即用did替代had。又如：As scientific knowledge increased，so did its practical application随着科学知识的增多，其实际应用也增多了。(did替代increased)。问题:10. Look at the terrible situation I am in! If only I

39、_ your advice.A.had followedB.would followC.followD.have followed答案:A解析 瞧，我的处境多糟糕，要是听你的主意，该多好!If only引导感叹句，表示说话人的一种愿望，希望过去发生的事能与事实相反。可见，事实上说话人并不曾听劝告，故选A项，即用过去完成时指过去的一种愿望。又如：If only you hadnt told him the news，everything would have been all fight。要是你不把消息告诉他，一切都可能很好。Section BDirections: There are 10 i

54、mpanzees in the wild.
