B.allofwhich C.andallofwhich D.themofall【答案】B【解析】考查定语从句。句意：人们坐在塑料椅子上翻阅旧杂志，这些杂志都被读过很多次了。themofall表述错误。逗号前为完整的句子，逗号后有谓语havebeenread，所以逗号后为非限制性定语从句，排除选项A和选项D。从句和主句不能用and连接，排除选项C。先行词为oldmagazines，指物，关系词代替先行词作介词of的宾语，用which，应填allofwhich。故选B。8.Weregret________youthatthepositionofvice-presidenthasbeentaken.A.toinform B.havinginformed C.informed D.informing【答案】A【解析】考查非谓语动词的固定搭配。句意：我们很遗憾地通知你，副总裁的职位已有人担任。动词“regret”后接非谓语动词时，“regrettodosth.”表示“遗憾要做某事”（事情未发生），“regretdoingsth.”表示“后悔做过某事”（事情已发生），此处是“通知”这个动作即将发生，需用“regrettoinform”。故选A项。9.Theworkershavecompletedtheirwork,andthey’rewaiting________.A.paying B.tobepaid C.paid D.tohavepaid【答案】B【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：工人们已经完成了工作，他们正等着得到工钱。根据“waittodosth.(等待做某事)”的固定搭配以及they(指代workers)与pay的动宾关系可知，此空应是不定式的被动形式(tobe+过去分词)。故选B。10.Hisroomneeds________,andhewillhaveit________soon.A.painting;painted B.painted;paintingC.painted;painted D.painting;painting【答案】A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：他的房间需要粉刷，他很快就会让人把它刷好。第一空“need”后接非谓语动词时，用主动形式“doing”表被动含义，即“needpainting=needtobepainted”，表示“需要被粉刷”；第二空是“have+宾语+宾补”结构，宾语“it”（指代房间）与动词“paint”是被动关系，需用过去分词“painted”，表“让某事被做”。故选A项。11.________fortheNBAin2009,StephenjoinedtheGoldenStateWarriors.A.Selected B.ToselectC.Havingselected D.Selecting【答案】A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：斯蒂芬2009年入选NBA，加盟金州勇士队。分析句子结构可知，此处应为非谓语动词短语作状语，select与其逻辑主语Stephen之间为动宾关系，应用过去分词，表被动、完成。故选A项。12.Ididn'tmean________you,butIhadpromisedJimthatIwouldn'ttellyouwherehehadbeen.A.havingcheated
