A. apology B. appearance C. difference D. change
选B。 make an apology“道歉”;make in an appearance“露面,在场”;make a difference“有变化,有作为”;make a change “有所改动”。题意为“昨天的面试,他根本没露面”。
2. —How much farther shall we have to go
—Another five miles until we reach the mountain ______ .
A.at a distance B. in a distance C. at distance D. in the distance
选D。考查词组。无B、C结构,at a distance “从某一距离,在某一距离”;in the distance“在远处”。
3. The discovery of new evidence led to______.
A. the thief having caught B. catch the thief
C. the thief being caught D. the thief to be caught
选C。这句话的意思是:新证据的发现使得小偷束手就擒。to是介词,后面接了动名词的复合结构,the thief是动名词的逻辑主语。
4. Smallpox, a kind of disease, has now died______.
A. out B. away C. off D. down
选A。die out “灭绝,消失”。die away“渐息”;die down“平息”;die off “(花、草)枯死”。
5. — Why were you not at the concert last night

6. —No wonder you caught a cold. You______out last night without a coat.
—I know how silly I was.
A. shouldn’t have gone B. mustn’t have gone
C. couldn’t have gone D. mightn’t have gone
选A。本题考查“情态动词+have done ”结构的用。mustn’t have gone 是错误的表达,couldn’t have gone 和mightn’t have gone 虽然也有“本不应该做却做了”含义,但其语气远shouldn’t have gone 弱,且它们主要用来表示对过去是否发生某一行为进行推测。
7.______you don’t like him is none of my business.
A. What B. Who C. That D. Whether
选C。本句的谓语动词是is,前面是一个主语从句; “you don’t like him”是一个意思完整的句子,从句不需要任何有词义的连词引导,that只起连接作用,无词义,所以选C。
8. As______rule, apples are sold by weight and eggs by dozen.
A.a; 不填;the B. a; the; the C. a; a; the D. the; 不填;不填
选A。as a rule(通常地)是固定词组;在度量名词前,表示付工资、卖、租等方式时,用the, 如paid by the hour (day, moth, piece…), sold by the yard (dozen, ton…),比较by weight (按重量)。
9. I was so familiar with her that I recognized her voice______I picked up the phone.
A. the moment B. after C. before D. while
选A。名词短语the moment用作连词,相当于as soon as,引导时间状语从句,意为“一……就”。类似用法的短语或词还有the minute, the instance, directly, immediately等。
10.Which do you enjoy _____ your weekend, swimming or fishing
A. spending B. being spent C. spend D. to spend
选D。to spend作状语,而which是句子enjoy的宾语。
11. I don’t have a job. I would find one but I no time.
A. had B. didn’t have C. had had D. have
选D。解此类题时,必须从题干中的暗示入手。I don’t have a job 告诉我们现在的状况,再由I would find one 可知是对现在的虚拟,因此,but后的句子应该是现在的事实。故用一般现在时。
12. In the power plant more than of the workers are out strike.
A. eleven twelfths ,on B. eleven twelfths ,at
C. eleven twelfth ,to D. eleven twelfths ,in
选A。twelve 的序数词形式为twelfth;分数表达法中的分子大于1时,分母用复数,on strike = 在罢工。
13. The traveler didn’t know ______which direction to go.
A. in B. at C. to D. /
选A。表示“朝……方向去”,用介词in 而不用to。
14. The pen I I is on my desk, right under my nose.
A. think; lost B. thought; had lost C. think; had lost D. thought; have lost
选B。句意为:我以为已丢了的钢笔却在我的桌子上,就在眼皮底下。thought 是过去时,“笔丢失了”是在“thought”之前,所以用过去完成时。
15. The customer didn’t choose______of the coats and went away without looking at a third one.
A. both B. all C. any D. either
选D。not与both, all 连用为部分否定,与any either 连用为完全否定。且两个coats 不可用all,故据题意,应用完全否定。
16. Mr Smith, of the speech, started to read a novel.
A. tired; boring B. tiring; bored C. tired; bored D. tiring; boring
选A。tired of…是过去分词短语作状语,boring 是现在分词作定语。
17. ---Is anything _____
---I can’t decide which dress I should wear at my friend’s wedding party.
---I don’t think it ____.
A. the matter; the matter B. matter; matters
C. the matter; matters D. matter; the matter
选C。 当matter作表语时前应有冠词; “ don’t think it matters” 意为“我认为那不重要”。
18. Playing football and watching TV _____ both interesting.
A. were B. was C. are D. is
选C 。不定式短语或动词短语作主语时,谓语动词应用单数,然而此题中and 连接了两个动名词短语, 因此谓语动词要用单数,故答案为C.
19. It must be he that has stolen Mr. Smith’s purse, _____
A. hasn’t he B. isn’t he C. mustn’t it D. isn’t it
选D。强调句型的反意疑问句,现在或将来用isn’t it 过去用wasn’t it

2. Of the two lectures, the first was by far _____, partly because the speaker had such a dynamic style.

选C。 “两者之中较……的一个”经常用“the + 比较级”。
3. Why not look up the new word in a dictionary ___ you don’t know it
A. if B. that C. though D. whether

4. He wishes to make friends with ____ shares his hobbies and interests.
A. whoever B. no matter who C. whoever D. anyone
选C。 此题with 后面的空格要求接一个连接代词,这个词必须能在句子中作主语, 又能连接这个名词性从句,整个句子作with 的宾语。故选C。

A. has been ill; was ill B. fell ill; has fallen ill
C. fell ill; has been ill D. fell ill; is ill

5. — Is your mother still a teacher
— ______.
A. Yes, she was B. She didn’t use to

10. A. did he B. could he C. do I D. hasn’t he
选A.。 I think + 从句的反意疑问句根据宾语从句确定。could在此表示揣测,应变为he did such a stupid thing last night来考虑。
11. Has all that ____ without delay ____ yet
A. can do…being done B. done…been done
C. ought to be done…to do D. should be done…been done
选D。that should be done without delay是定语从句。其中that在从句中作主语。而将本句还原后主句为All has been done。
12. The way she thought of ____ money was to sell her hair.
A. got B. getting C. to get D. get
选C。不定式作目的状语;thought of的宾语是the way。本题容易受思维定势影响选B,认为是think of后面直接接doing。做这类试题应该分析好句子的成分。
13. — Oh, Rose. ______ you gave us!

A. How a pleasant surprise B. How pleasant a surprise
C. What pleasant surprise D. How pleasant surprise
选B。surprise本来是不可数名词,但含有“一个,一场,一次”之意时可加a。

16. Sometimes we are asked _____ the likely result of an action will be.
A. that we think B. what do we think

3. I can’t find my watch. I must have______it in the hotel.
A. lost B. missed C. left D. forgotten
选C。D较有一定的干扰性。按照汉语习惯“我一定是把它忘在宾馆了”,但forget 意思是“忘记”,表示没有记住,因此应用表示“遗留在”的“leave”。选项A、B有一定干扰性,lose和miss表示“丢失;不见了”,因此不合题意。
4. It is thought that one billion people I the world,
is half the word’s workers, earn their living by farming.
A. if B. that C. which D. what
选B。句中“half the world’s workers”是对“one billion people in the world” 的补充说明,“that is”是“that is to say”的省略说法,是插入语,that 并不是引导非限制性定语从句的,如果在 “that is”后加个逗号则更清楚,应选B。

5. The river, ______the bank are covered with trees, is very long.
A. whose B. which C. of which D. which of
选C。名词或代词+关系代词whom / which可以引导非限定性定语从句。表示部分与整体的关系,作用相当于whose+名词,of which the bank =the bank of which = whose bank, 因此答案为C。
6. —Your name again, please ______ .
—It’s Bell Green.
A. I didn’t quite catch you B. I couldn’t quite catch you
C. I don’t hear you D. It’s your name
选A。让对方重复其姓名,是因为没有听清(表示事实)。catch此处意为“听清”。B项是干扰项,说话人要表述的是“刚才没有听清”,而不是“不能听清”。
7. In my opinion, what he told us just now about the affair simply doesn’t make any______ .
A. idea B. meaning C. sense D. point
选C。make sense是习语,意为“有道理”、“意义清楚”。

A. greater; a highest B. more greater; a higher
C. greater; the highest D. more greater; the higher

12. Terribly sorry, I came home at last. I______of the supermarket______so crowded.
A. should have thought; being B. should think; being
C. could have thought; was D. could think; was
选A。think of的宾语应为动词,排除C、D两项;由一个句子可知,事情发生过去,后悔自己不该去超市,因为人太多,故应选择should have done 结构,表示对过去事情的虚拟。
13. Reading______the lines, I would say that the government are more worried than they will admit.
A. behind B. between C. along D. among
选B。read between the lines为习语,指读出字里行间言外之意。

16. I’m afraid nobody but his parents or Jim, his best friend, _____ the secret.
A. are going to tell B. have told C. has told D. have been told
选C。该题涉及到主谓一致的问题。 当主语是单数形式时,后面跟(together) with, as well as ,but, except, rather than等词语,无论这些词语后面带复数形式还是单数形式,谓语动词仍然用单数,故正确答案为C. nobody是不定代词,应该看作单数。本句可以理解为“除了他父母或Jim, 没有人说出这个秘密”。
17. ______ won’t be long ______ National Day comes.
A. There…since B. This…ago C. It…before D. That…after
选C。It won’t be long before… 意思是“不过多久就……”,是一个固定短语。

3. Some famous singers live on the _________ from their record sales.
A. salary B. value C. bill D. income
