(十四)听力1~5BCBAC6~10AABCA11~15ABBAC16~20ABCBC单项填空21.D解析：考查祈使句。分析句式结构可知，由于前面是一个条件状语从句，所以后面缺少主句，而主句缺少主语，故D项正确。22.A解析：考查主谓一致。本句中主语为involvement，所以谓语动词用单数，而且根据题干前面的Asacommonsense，这里说的是具有客观性的情况，因此用一般现在时态，即A项正确。23.B解析：考查形容词辨析。A项意为“不顾一切的”；B项意为“勉强的；不愿意的”；C项意为“自愿的”；D项意为“焦急的”。根据第一个分句和并列连词but可知，B项符合句意。句意：很多年轻人只是愿意通过网络聊天，但是不太愿意面对面交流。24.B解析：考查虚拟语气。根据句式结构知识可知，在“Itisnecessary/essential/important/vital/desirable/surprising/urgent/strange/naturaletc.that...”这个句型中，从句中的谓语动词要用“shoulddo”，而且这里的should可以省略。由此可知，选B。25.
