27、ugh the center. 问题:1.

28、句中的谓语动词表示的是将来时间，分句动词仍然用现在完成时。如：It will be the second time I have seen the film. 这将是我第二次看这部电影。当主句总的谓语动词表示的是过去时间，分句动词通常用过去完成时。例如：It was the second time he had been out with her alone. 这是他第二次单独与她一起出去。问题:2. _ might be expected, the response to the question was very mixed.A.ThatB.ItC.AsD.What答案:C本题测试的是定语

29、从句的用法。全句的意思是：“正如预计的那样，这个问题的答案很混乱。”as用作关系代词，可以引出一个非限定性定语从句，指代整个主句，在从句中充当主语。as引导的从句位置较灵活，可以位于主句前面、中间或后面，一般用逗号与主句隔开，通常译为“(正)如一样，(正)像一样”。根据句意，应选答案C。问题:3. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have two daughters and two _A.sons-in-lawB.son-in-lawsC.in-law-sonsD.sons-in-laws答案:A考点分析 此题考点是关于复合名词变复数，据对题意的分析，复合名词的意思该是“女婿”正确的拼写

30、形式是son-in-law，其变复数的话，遵循的原则是：有主体的复合名词，应在主体名词的后面加上s，即sons-in-law，故选A)；注意点：有主体名词的复合名词还有tooth-brush(teeth-brush)；passer-by(passers-by)； looker-on(1ookers-on)等。问题:4.

32、思，在本句中连接两个分句。问题:7. Jerry didnt come to the meeting. I wish he _ to the meeting.A.had comeB.cameC.would have comeD.did come答案:Awish这个动词表示“愿望，希望，但愿”时，后可接一个表示虚拟语气的宾语从句，表示未实现，的主观愿望。其从句中的谓语动词形式及对应的用法如下表：注：谓语动词be的过去式为were，适用于各个人称。单数第一、三人称也可用was；例如：I wish I knew both English and French.我要是既懂英文又懂法义就好了。I wis

33、h I were as young as you.我要是像你样年轻就好了。We wish he hadnt gone.我们真希望他没有走。动词wish如果是过去时态，后面的宾语从句中虚拟语气形式不变，仍用过去式，过去完成式和过去将来式。例如：She wished she knew how to drive the car.她当时希望她知道，怎样开这辆车就好了。I wished I hadnt made that mistake，我当时多么希望没有犯那个错误。I wished you would get younger and younger.但愿你变得愈来愈年轻。根据这个规则和题意，选择答案A

35、oliday, only to find it broken into.A.to beB.hadC.wasD.had been答案:D考点 被动语态 解析 find后面为宾语从句，其谓语动作发生在前一句谓语动词returned之前，且与宾语从句主语it是被动关系，所以选D)项。 避错 to be很少用于这种结构，find接不定式常用的两个词组或结构是：find time to do sth.(找时间做某事)，find it+形容词+to do sth.(“感到做某事”)；had无法表示被动意思；was无法明显表达出与returned的先后关系。 问题:10. He was actually _

36、 for the accident, though it had not in fact been his fault.A.accusedB.blamedC.condemnedD.criticized答案:Bblame: v. 谴责；归咎：They blamed the failure on Gorge他们把失败归咎于乔治。The car driver was blamed for the accident. 小汽车的司机承担了事故的责任。accuse：v.

40、and后的从句用虚拟语气特殊形式即后跟动词原形。问题:4. This old coat (design) _ for use in the rain only, but I wore it to keep warm.答案: was designed解析 本题考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句中的主语the old coat与design是被动关系，所以须用design的被动形式be designed；而后面句子的时态决定了此处必须用过去时态；主语coat是单数名词，因而此处应用第三人称单数形式，综合各注意事项，此处应填写was designed。答题指南 遇到需要填动词时，在判断出动词使用的语态后，

41、还须考虑动词的时态和单复数情况。问题:5. Mr. Smith considered (sell) _ his car and his house before moving to Beijing.答案:selling解析 动名词。本题要用到动名词形式selling作consider(考虑)的宾语。用法拓展 动名词的形式为v.+ing，与现在分词同形。动名词在句中常用作主语，宾语，表语等，兼有动词和名词的功能。参考例句 (1)Seeing is believing(眼见为实。)(作主语和表语) (2)My favorite sport is playing table tennis(我最喜欢的

42、运动是打乒乓球。)(作表语) 问题:6. The Curies are best known for their (discover) _ of radium.答案:discovery解析 本题考查名词的用法。留空处之前是物主代词，其后是介词短语，这说明空格处需要名词，而括号里是动词，因此须将其转化成名词discovery。答题指南 有很多后缀可以将动词转化为名词，如-ment和-tion等；developdevelopment；inform-information等。问题:7. When _ (ask) when he was born, Tom said he was fifteen ye

43、ars old.答案:asked考点分析 本题考查过去分词短语作状语；当过去分词短语(由分词和它自身的状语或宾语一起组成)作状语时，它相当于一个状语从句，可表时间、原因、结果、条件、让步，方式或伴随情况等，分词与其逻辑主语(句子的主语)构成被动关系；注童点：过去分词短语的用法。问题:8. His action at the party was a typical (illustrate) _ of his boldness.答案:illustrationillustrate是动词，句中需填名词，因有形容词typical修饰，所以用名词形式的illustration。句意：他在聚会上的表现突出显

44、示了他的勇敢。问题:9. Those tomatoes went bad so easily, (cause)_a good deal of loss during transportation.答案:causing答案精解 句意：那些西红柿这么容易变坏，运输过程中引起了大量损失。该题考查非谓语动词。分词作状语，分词与主语是主动关系，用现在分词。问题:10. Work in moderation is agreeable as well as (health) _ to human beings.答案:healthyas well as前后内容应一致，故空处词性应与agreeable一致，应为
