（2）分别陈述两种态度所起到的不同作用；

（3）谈谈你的看法

参考答案

1.A正如我们所预料的，玛丽拒绝了那家公司的邀请——她想有更多的时间照顾家庭。

［考点］定语从句

【精析】A分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，从句缺少宾语。as引导非限制性定语从句时可以位于句首、句中或句末，且意为正如，符合题意。which引导非限制性定语从句时只能位于先行词之后；where在非限制性定语从句中充当地点状语；that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故选A

2.BB句意：虽已年迈，这位教授仍在尽力学习一门新语言。倒装句型题。as引导让步状语从句时，意为尽管，虽然，通常从句要用倒装，即把从句的表语或状语放至as之前。本题中，old要放在as之前。所以选B

3.D下次你来的时候一定给我打电话。本题考查动词时态。题干中thenexttime用于引导时间状语从句，而时间状语从句通常使用一般现在时表示将来的情况,所以D为正确选项

4.B新计划的目标是普及农村地区所有孩子的小学教育。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Btrend:趋势，倾向；target:目标，指标；turn:转弯处，（依次轮到的）机会；problem:问题，难题。根据句意可知，选B

5.D谁应该为这起事故负责？

6.D当权者强烈要求反抗者放下武器，重新回到谈判桌前。

［考点］词组辨析

【精析】Dlayover:（长途旅行期间）作短暂停留；layoff：解雇（雇员）；layout：展开，铺开，布置；laydown：放下，停止使用。根据句意，选D

7.C我认为茱丽没必要对那类事情大惊小怪。本题考查it的用法。it在句中作形式宾语，指代后面的不定式结构

8.B她从来都不笑，也从未发过脾气。

［考点］倒装句

【精析】B因前面分句中有否定词never,所以后面要用neither或nor引起否定倒装，表示也不。此时要把谓语的一部分（助动词、情态动词、be动词）放在主语的前面。故选B

9.B他的妻子总是跟他找茬儿，这让他很恼火。本题考查固定搭配。findfaultwithsb.意为找某人的茬儿，对某人挑剔

10.D这条街道是以乔治·华盛顿的名字来命名的，他领导了美国独立战争。

［考点］词语搭配

【精析】Dnamesth.aftersb.为固定搭配，意为以……命名……。故选D

11.B解析：now和that构成一连词，作“既然，由于”解，意同since。

12.B他很快恢复了健康。

16.A如果你想要你的孩子积极参与家务，你必须让家务对他们有吸引力。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Aappealto：呼吁，上诉，对……有吸引力；lookinto：调查；giveriseto：引起，导致；goinfor：从事，参加。根据句意可知，选A

17.C当你到达伦敦的时候，我们已经在欧洲待两周了。

［考点］动词时态

【精析】Cbythetime引导时间状语从句时，意为当……的时候，主句表示到该时刻为止已经完成了某事。若从句为一般现在时，主句应用将来完成时。故选C
