3.C在一些国家，所谓的平等事实上并不意味着所有人拥有相等的权利。

［考点］主语从句

4.A尽管他已经做出了承诺，但你还是不要对他有太多期望。

［考点］词义辨析

6.B我认为你不可能一个人在如此短的时间内刷完栅栏，是吗？

［考点］反意疑问句

【精析】B在反意疑问句中，若陈述部分是I（don’t）think（that）…的主从复合句，反意疑问部分应与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致。因为think前的否定词是从宾语从句中前移过去的，所以反意疑问句部分要用肯定形式canyou。故选B

7.B如果人们都被劝说多吃水果和蔬菜的话，因患心脏病而死亡的人数就会大幅下降。

［考点］动词时态和语态

【精析】B本题考查动词时态中主将从现的用法，即主句是一般将来时，从句则要用一般现在时，且people与persuade之间是动宾关系，因此要用被动语态，故选B

8.D据报道，全世界有百分之三十的人口没有干净的饮用水和卫生保健。

［考点］词语搭配

【精析】Dhaveaccessto为固定搭配，意为可以使用，有接触……的机会或权利

9.A我新工作的环境比上一份的要好。

［考点］词义辨析和主谓一致

10.D正如我们所预料的那样,观众人数远远超过2000人。

［考点］定语从句

【精析】D根据句意并分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，排除A项；who,whom只能引导先行词指代人的定语从句，与题意不符，应排除；关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句时，指代整个主句的内容，可以在从句中作成分，引导的从句可以位于句首、句中或句末，符合题意。故选D

11.C我的秘书通常会打开我的邮件，除非邮件标有私人信件字样。

［考点］词义辨析

12.D杰克工作到深夜，结果却发现自己连一半工作也没完成。

［考点］非谓语动词

【精析】Donly+现在分词（短语）和only+不定式（短语）这两个结构在句中都可以用来表示结果。后接现在分词往往表示一种自然的合乎逻辑的结果，而后接不定式往往表示一种出乎意料的或令人失望的结果。根据句意可知，此处应用only+不定式结构。故选D

13.A人们认为，在中国举办像俄罗斯年这样的重大活动肯定会有助于两国之间的友好关系。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Abigevent并不是特指，故应用不定冠词a修饰，而relationshipbetweenthetwocountries是特指中国与俄罗斯之间的友好关系，所以应用定冠词the来修饰。故选项A为正确答案

14.D那些观点现在都过时了。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Doutoforder：（机器或设备等）出故障；outoffashion：过时；form和mood都不能和outof构成固定词组。根据句意可知，选D

16.B他刚到，她就开始抱怨。

［考点］固定用法

【精析】Bhardly／scarcely…when是固定搭配，意为一……就……。当hardly或者scarcely放在句首时，其后的句子要部分倒装，而且要用过去完成时。nosooner要与than搭配，而不是when。故选B

17.B

18.D请把电视的音量调小一点儿，好吗？孩子们正在做作业。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Dturnon：打开；turnoff：关掉，关闭；turnup：开大，调高（音量），出现；turndown：关小，调低，拒绝。根据句意可知，选D。注意：如果句子中没有alittle,B项也符合题意

20.C这本书不仅告诉我们作者的生平，还告诉我们作者的作品。

［考点］词义辨析

【精析】Caswellas意为也，和，还，可以连接两个并列成分，其他选项均无此用法。aswell与答案接近，容易混淆，其含义为也，相当于also,一般位于句末；asmuchas意为与……一样多。故选C

21.AK根据空后的名词短语15years可知，空处应填介词。符合要求的选项有C、K。句意：15年来，来自伦敦大学学院的专家们一直在调查超过6,700名英国人的生活方式。故选K。

22.HH分析句子结构可知，空处应填引导词，引导一个定语从句，修饰指人的先行词friends。符合要求的选项只有H。句意：学生在上大学时可以学习并交到将持续一生的朋友。故选H。

23.JA.studied（v.学习，研究）B.continuing（v.继续，持续）C.by（prep.通过）D.who（pron.引导定语从句）E.whose（pron.引导定语从句）F.improve（v.改进，改善）G.truth（n.事实，真相）H.ignored（v.忽视，不予理睬）I.recently（adv.最近，不久前）J.those（pron.那些）K.for（prep.表示一段时间）L.less（adv.更少，较少）J分析句子结构可知，空后的who引导一个定语从句，空处为其先行词，所以空处应填指人的名词或代词。符合要求的选项只有J。those在此处指代上文中的people，此处表达的是“不去（音乐会、演出和博物馆）的那些人”。故选J。
