答案与解析
1. B 此处指运动员躺在草地上是为了获取精力，而不是获取力气或外置的力。
2. D 不难看出前一句句意为“自法律生效已有五年了”。要表达生效应用“come into force”，故可先排除B、C两项。因主句用的是现在完成时，故从句用一般过去时。
3. B 从后面的定语从句的句意得知他们打开了门不是“误开”而是“用力开”，故应排除A项，而C、D两项无此表示方式。
4. B force sb. to do…/sb. be forced to do…“迫使某人做……”。
5. A 本题考查动词短语的辨析。break down（机器等）出现故障，（人）感情崩溃；break out（战争、灾难等）突然发生；break up解散，分解；break in强行进入，打断（谈话等）。
6. A 本题考查副词的用法。gradually逐渐地；finally最后；immediately立刻；generally一般地。句意：由于水的作用，岩石逐渐磨损。所以A项为最佳答案。
7. B 此题考查副词词义的辨析。由语境可知，应选B项。
8. D 考查as…as结构。分析句子结构可知，此处是把teaching is an art与teaching is a science进行同级比较，as…as结构中添加much，强调程度。
9. B 本题考查了as…as的用法，且形容词要紧跟在第一个as之后。
10. B 做题时，如不谨慎易误选A项，因为dollar为可数名词。但是若指金钱时，即使是复数形式，仍不能用many而要用much。
11. A 本题考查mass的用法。根据题意和结构可先排除D项，然后排除B、C两项，因为句中表示的不是“大多数人”，也不是“许多人”，而是表示“人民群众是历史的创造者”。
12. B 从上下文语境可以看出，第二句要表达的意思是“我感觉上一整天的课使我筋疲力尽”。A、C、D三项从语法上来讲都是不对的。
13. D exhaust，use up和run out of作“用光”讲时，主语通常是“人”，而give out为不及物动词短语，它的主语通常是“物”，表示“某物用完，耗尽”，无被动结构。
14. B exhausting“令人疲惫不堪的”，而exhausted则意为“感到筋疲力尽的”。
15. B 本题考查amazed的用法。句意：旅游者经常会惊讶地发现这个小城几乎没有什么变化。表示“人感到惊讶”时，用amazed。
16. D 从全句来看，主句缺少的是表语，表示主语的性质。A、B、C三项都可以用来说明事物的性质，而D项则说明人的感觉。
17. C watch over“监视；监督”。句意：“你为什么不喜欢你的工作？”“总是被我的领导监督。” watch不和at，on连用；watch out“当心；提防”。
18. B 从题干和选项看，so…that引导结果状语从句。由于so位于句首，其修饰的形容词要紧随其后，且句子要用部分倒装结构，故选B项。
19. B 本题中考查的句型结构是such+a/an+adj. +n. +that+从句。其句意为“那是一件如此不寻常的衣服，以至于在场的每个人都想看一看”。
20. B call off“取消”符合句意。
21. B pay off“成功，奏效，达到目的”；show off“炫耀”；put off“推迟”；take off“脱掉，（飞机等）起飞”。
22. C 因twice常位于as之前，且many是修饰tractors的，故选C项。如：This book cost me three times as much money as the one I bought in Beijing last year. 这本书花的钱是我去年在北京买的那本书的三倍。
23. D 因原句中有连词as，其前必定用原级。比较四个选项可知D项正确。
24. D A、B、C三项均有结构上的错误。
25. A 从句意看，此从句不可能是时间或让步状语从句，只有now that表原因，意为“既然”，符合本句句意和语法结构。
26. B D项后接不可数名词，A、C两项与句意不符。
27. A as well as和后面的名词一起作插入语，主语应是e-mail，故选A项。
28. B masses of后的名词为students，其谓语应用复数形式。而第二空前的名词是homework，其谓语应用单数形式。
29. B be amazed at意为“对……感到惊讶”。
30. C 考查break短语。句意：我们本来能及时赶到这里的，但是车子半路出了故障，所以让你们在这里等那么久不是我们故意的。break down“出故障；抛锚”；break up“驱散；分解”；break into“突然闯入”；break out“发生；爆发”。只有C项符合句意。
31. A break out是不及物动词短语，意为“（战争、火灾等）爆发”。
32. D no such a person意为“没有这样一个人”。
33. A block out意为“遮住（光线）”；block up意为“塞住”；block in意为“画出某物的草图，筹划”；block off意为“封锁”。根据句意应选A项。
34. C 考查状语从句的连接词。as though“好像”引导方式状语从句；句意：黎明的英语说得很好，就好像是一个英国孩子。so that“结果；以便于”引导目的或结果状语从句；even though“即使；尽管”引导让步状语从句；now that“既然；由于”引导原因状语从句。
35. D 表示倍数的句型之一是“倍数词＋as＋原级形容词＋as”，原句中已有as，故选D项。
36. B A、D两项为介词，不能引导从句；for引导从句时为并列连词，不能放在句首。
37. A 四个选项都有“执政”的意思，但B、C、D三项都不能与一段时间连用。
38. A such+adj. +复数名词；so many+复数名词。
39. A 指火灾、战争等爆发用break out。
40. C break into意为“撞入，破门而入”，与home之间有被动含义，且在found之前发生，故用过去完成时的被动语态。后面的stolen承前省掉了had been。
41. D watch out小心，当心；watch over看守，照顾；A、C两项无此搭配，根据句意知“小心商店外的那只恶狗”，选D项。
42. A 考查倍数表达。此处是“it costs almost three times as much as that one”的省略。句意：和那件相比我更喜欢这件夹克衫，但是它花的钱差不多是那件的三倍。
