语法填空
While________(speak), make constant eye contact but do not stare fixedly at the interviewer.
【答案】speaking 句意为：说话时，要不断进行目光接触，但不要目不转睛地盯着面试官。“说话时”可译为：While you ares peaking；在状语从句中，从句的主语和主句的主语所指一致，且谓语有be动词时，可省略从句的主语和be动词；本句的主句为祈使句，实际是省略了主语you，与从句主语是一致的。故填speaking。
When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first meet, the music is light and pleasant,as if__________(whisper) to the audience.
【答案】whispering 句意为：梁山伯和祝英台这对恋人初次见面时，音乐轻快悦耳，仿佛在向观众耳语。分析句子结构可知，此处考查as if引导的方式状语从句的省略，完整的从句为as if the music is whispering to the audience，从句是“主语＋系动词”结构，且从句主语与主句主语一致时，可省略从句的主语和系动词，保留现在分词。故填whispering。
Film has a much shorter history,especially when__________(compare) to music and painting.
【答案】compared 句意为：电影制作的历史要短得多，尤其是与音乐和绘画等艺术形式相比。分析句子结构可知，此处为when引导的时间状语从句的省略。从句主语同主句主语（Film）一致，和动词compare之间是被动关系，即从句谓语为is compared，根据状语从句可省略主语和be动词的原则，省略后为compared。故填compared。
__________possible, I want to stay with you forever.
【答案】If 句意为：如果可能的话，我想永远和你在一起。分析句子结构可知，此处为省略结构 if possible，意为“如果可能的话”，为状语从句if it is possible的省略形式。故填If。
The global warming, if not properly__________(control), might lead to more natural disasters.
【答案】controlled 句意为：全球变暖，如果控制不当，可能会导致更多的自然灾害。if引导的状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致且从句含有be的某种形式时，可省略从句的主语和be，且主语与control构成被动关系。故填controlled。
He cleared his throat as if__________(say) something.
【答案】to say 句意为：他清了清嗓子，像要说什么似的。as if引导的状语从句可用省略结构。当从句主语和主句主语一致且从句含有be的某种形式时，可省略从句的主语和be，此处省略了he was。故填to say。
The exhibition about The Belt and Road is more interesting than__________(expect).
【答案】expected 句意为：关于“一带一路”的展览比预想的更有趣。than后完整的句子应是it is expected，表示“展览比预想的那样更有趣”，当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致，且从句谓语含有be动词时，可以省略状语从句的主语和be动词，由于展览是被预想，因此应用过去分词。故填expected。
__________tired, we felt excited to be able to help others.
【答案】Though／Although／While 句意为：尽管我们很累，但是能够帮助别人，我们感到很兴奋。分析句子结构和意思可知，上下文之间为转折关系，所以这里应用“虽然，尽管”对应的连词though／although／while，从句中省略了主语we和be动词were。故填 Though／Although／While。
Once___________(attach) to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer.
【答案】attached 句意为：一旦连接到轨道上，汽车将由系统提供电力，并由中央计算机控制。此处是Once引导的状语从句的省略结构，从句的主语为the car，与主句主语相同，the car与attach之间为被动关系，从句谓语应为is attached，完整从句为Once the car is attached to the rail。当状语从句和主句是同一主句且从句含义be动词时，从句可以省略主语和be动词。顾填attached。
10. Misunderstandings resulting from lack of social communication, unless__________(handle) properly, may lead to serious results.
【答案】句意为：由于缺乏社会沟通而产生的误解，除非处理得当，否则可能会导致严重的后果。unless引导的状语从句中，省略了misunderstandings和be动词，“误解”和“处理”之间是被动关系。故填handled.
