26、did speeches, was warmly received by the audience.A.having knownB.knowingC.to be knownD.known答案:D本句的意思是：以精彩演说而闻名的那位讲演者，受到了听众的热烈欢迎。、经过分析可看出，空格所在的部分插在主语与谓语之间，为一状语结构，用来对主语进行进一步的解释或说明，还需注意的是所填内容的语态。经过比较，只有D为合适的答案。问题:2. I am sorry that you _ do such a thing?A.wouldB.canC.shouldD.may答案:C本句的意思是：令我遗憾的是你竟会做出

27、这样的事来。情态助动词的情态意义有时候较难把握。would通常用来表示意志、预测、委婉等方面的情态意义。should除了通常用作表示义务，必须以外，在某些语境中还可用来表示惋惜、忧虑、欢欣、惊讶等感情。例如：Its unbelievable that he should be working so hard真令人难以置信，他工作竟会如此努力。Its a pity that he should leave so soon真遗憾他这么快就离开了。问题:3. _ for your help, we never have been able to overcome the difficulties.A

28、.Had it notB.If it were notC.Had it not beenD.If we had not been答案:C本句的意思是：要不是你帮忙，我们永远不能解决这些困难。主句的谓语用的是“would+have+过去分词”，因此选项CHad it not been是答案，相当于If it had not been.又如：Had it not been for the storm，we should lave retired earlier要不是这场暴雨我们还会到得早一些。(=If it had not been for the storm，we should have arr

29、ived earlier)If it were not通常用于表示现在及将来情况的虚拟条件句。例如：If it were not for their support，we would be in a very difficult position要不是有他们的支持，我们的处境会很困难。问题:4.

30、拒绝。turn away意为“转过脸去”。如：I turned away，for the sight was too sad to look at我转过脸去，因为那情景裤在太惨了。turn back意为“往回走”。They turned back when it was getting back天渐渐黑的时候，他们往回走了。turn out的意思是“向外弯，赶出”。Tens of thousands of people turned out for the rally成千上万的人出来参加集会。turn down(=refuse on reject sba request/all offer，e

31、tc)的意思是“拒绝(某人请求，提议等)”。The proposal was turned down at the plenary meeting ofthe committee在委员会全体釜议上这个建议遭到了拒绝。问题:5. When we _our tickets, _be marked first class.A.get. it is toB.will get., it willC.got., they were toD.get., they will答案:D本句的意思是：我们拿到票时，票上会标着“一等”。从动作发生的时间来看，get是将来发生的，但由于是在状语从句当中，所以要用一般现在

32、时。即；在时间、条件状语从句当中，用一般现在时来表示将来的动作，主句的动词用一般将来时。如：Ill phoneyou as soon as I get the news我一得到消息就给你打电话o If you：listen to the radio this morningyoull hear the news如果你今天早上听收音机，你会听到这个消息。问题:6. I have hurt her self-respect, but _ is not my intention.A.itselfB.suchC.whatD.which答案:B本句的意思是：我已经伤害了她的自尊，但这并不是我的本意。此句

33、中，such指示代词，跟be或be-come可用来表示前面说过的内容。在本句中，such指代“bave hurt ber self-respect”这件事。又如：Such is the situation we are facing这就是我们正面临着de形势。此外，such作定语时，它所修饰的名词之前如有不定冠词，这个不定冠词应放在such之后，如：we have had such a busy day我们今天忙得真够呛。问题:7. My niece has three brothers, all _ than she _ John is all oil worker.A.old., the

34、eldestB.older. the oldestC.elder., the old areD.elder., the oldest答案:A本句的意思是：我的侄女有三个兄弟，全都比她大。大哥约翰是个石油工人。old的比较级和最高级形式通常是older和oldest；当old修饰名词表示_兄弟姐妹间的长幼关系时用elder，所以选A。再举例如下：Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the worId北京是世界上最古老的城市之一。Her eldest daughter is a textile worker她的大女儿是个纺织女工。问题:8. Only un

35、der special circumstances _ to take make - up tests.A.are freshmen permittedB.freshmen are permittedC.permitted are freshmenD.are permitted freshmen答案:A本句的意思是：一年级的学生只有在特殊情况下才允许补考。当一个陈述句以never，seldom，rarely，hardly，scarcely，not until，no soonerthan，not only，only+状语，so+状语等开头时，需用倒装语句，其谓语中的助动词，情态动词或连系动词to

36、 be要放在主语之前。本题以“only+状语”起头，应当用倒装句形式，故选选项A。例如：Never in all my life have I heard such nonsense我这辈子从来没听过这种废话。Seldom does a man live to be a hundred years old很少有人能活到100岁。问题:9. It wash t such a good TV set _ she had promised us.A.thatB.asC.whichD.what答案:B本句的意思是：这台电视机不像她所许诺的这么好。句中as用作关系代词引导定语从句，限定TVset。as作

37、为一个较为特殊的关系代词，使用时要加以注意。as引导限定性定语从句时，主要用于“suchas”和“the sameas”结构中，但在“the sameas”结构中，as也可以用that来代替。如：The statement discuss such issues as concerned the future ofthe nation政治家们讨论了与国家前途有关的问题。Nobody will believe such things as he told没人会相信他所说的事。问题:10. The program is made up of two trust funds_ could run o

38、ut by next year.A.the large oneB.the largest of whichC.the largest oneD.the larger of which答案:D本句的意思是：这两个项目是由两个信贷基金，其中较大的一个在明年年底以前将耗尽。句子只提到两个基金，没有最高级可言，所以选项B和C都是错误的。如果用A造成one在指代上的模糊。D可以清楚地表达题目的意思，从而构成非限定性定语从句，代表它前面的two trust funds。形容词的比较级与of短语连用表示两者当中“较的一个”的意思。如：The taller of the two boys has been e

39、nrolled by Tsinghua University这两个男孩中个子较高的一个已被清华大学录取。Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here.
