18.A解析：由句子“Theyarepopularbecause…”及“Atelevisionreporter,ShawTaylor,talksaboutcrimesintheLondonarea．”可知，ShawTaylor是一位“populartelevisionreporter”。

19.C解析：第3段提及的第1种情况。

20.C解析：从第二段可知，远程教育有很多优势，但也有劣势。劣势就是需要以写作来完成的东西太多。另外，此段还提到，远程教育不能进行面对面的教授。因此，喜欢亲临现场听课的学生不会喜欢远程教育。

21.D

22.D解析：从全文来看，Jones逃离监狱、参加海军、并领导海军赢得胜利。所以说他是勇敢的、无畏的。选项D是正确的。

23.D

35.B

36.C解析：四个选项都是形容词。根据上下文，孩子只尝了一丁点，刚够把甜味慢慢地传遍舌头。

37.A28．答案为A

confident做形容词表示“有信心的，确信的”，一般与介词of或about搭配使用。另外，confidence作名词表示“信心，信任”，还可与in搭配，构成haveconfidenceinsb．(信任某人)。

38.C解析：本题测试固定搭配。这里，allone’slife意为“一辈子，一生”。

39.D解析：这里应用表示结果的连词。表明作者实际上做了什么。选项D是正确的。

40.B解析：对应前面的question，只能用answer搭配。

49.D解析：参考下文，It'sactuallyratherdifficulttosay．．．可知，此处表达的是与difficult相反的意思，因此应选择easy为答案。因有两个与easy有关的备选答案，需进一步分析。因easy修饰单数可数名词，因此只有选择aneasy。

50.B解析：attheendof意为“在……的一角”。

51.B20．答案为B

只要你实施这个计划，你就会受益。onlyif“只要……”，引导的从句用陈述语气；ifonly“但愿……就好了”，引导的从句要用虚拟语气；although“尽管”；unless“除非”。

52.B本题考查情态动词。

【应试指导】句意：我们也许没有被证明是伟大的探险家，不过我们的前进是过去十年来最伟大的。“maynot+现在完成时”表示“也许没有”，用于对过去或已经发生的事进行猜测。“neednl’t+现在完成时”表示“本来没有必要”，表示过去不需要做某事。“shouldn’t+现在完成时”表示“本来不应该做而做了某事”。mustn’t不与现在完成时连用，只与动词原形连用，表示“禁止，不要”。

53.B本题考查动词词组辨析。

【应试指导】句意：如果她履行了自己的诺言，她就会进入耶鲁大学了。该句是由if引导的非真实条件句转换而来的倒装句，描述的事情与过去事实相反。lookupt0尊敬，敬仰；keepupwith跟上．追上；comeupwith想出，提出；liveupt0遵守，履行。故B项符合题意。

54.Border后接动词不定式的句型有两种：ordersb．todosth．及ordersth．tobedone。根据题意，显然适用于后一种句型。

55.D14．答案为D

他的姐姐已经离开家乡三年了。她明年将要回来。该句表示到现在为止一直发生的动作，因此要用现在完成式，away表示离开某地时应加from。

56.Dneed具有双重身份，既是实义动词又是情态动词，一般来说，在否定句和疑问句中，need不借助于助动词时为情态动词，肯定句中need为实义动词。

57.D解析：本题考查固定词组的用法。atsometime一段时间，foronetime一次，atonetime以前曾经。

58.C解析：非限制性定语从句应用which连接，因此选项C是正确的。句子大意：晚上想喝点什么，请到我们夜总会来。我们一直开门到凌晨4点。

59.A解析：该题测试句子主语若有如下连词时，其后的动词与靠近的主语一致的用法。

60.A本题为分词用法题。及物动词的过去分词作定语有被动地完成的意义。本句大意为：建于五千年前的大金字塔位于尼罗河西岸。2022年辽宁省辽阳市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
