It is suggested that he (should) go there at once.据建议,他应该立即去那里。
【拓展1】suggest的名词suggestion作“建议、提议”讲时,所接的表语从句和同位语从句也用虚拟语气,即“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略。

【拓展2】用法类似的其他动词:
动词advise,decide,insist, demand, desire, require, request, command, order, recommend, ask, urge等后面的宾语从句,谓语动词一般也用虚拟语气,即“should+动词原形”,其中should可省。而其名词对应的名词性从句也有此用法。

【点拨】so ... that 如此......以至于。与such...that用法相似。
归纳:
such + adj. +n. (复数/不可数名词)
such+ a/an + adj. +n.
so +adj./ adv. +that...
so + adj. + a/an + n.
so + many/ much/ little/ few + n.
记忆小口诀:
so形副,such名,
“多少”加名so就行,
so形a名也说得通。
如:
1)She was so angry that she burst out crying. (so修饰形容词或副词--- so形副)
她如此生气,以致大哭起来。
2)He was such an impatient driver that he went through the red light.
他如此地不耐烦,以致闯了红灯。(such修饰中心词是名词的短语--- such名)

加名so就行)

他如此地不耐烦,以致闯了红灯。(such+ a/an+形容词+名词=so+形容词+a/an+

2. C。contribute捐献;control 控制;conduct 引导,传导;construct 修建。

5. C。make sense 表示“有意义,讲得通”。
6. C。set about 着手;set off 出发;put forward 提出;put out 扑灭。
7. B。cure sb. of sth. 治好某人的......,此句中引申为“纠正某人的......”。
8. C。句意:每次你同别人谈话或写信息时,你就把你的技巧呈现给别人了。every time “每当……的时候”,引导时间状语从句;其他三项都不能引导时间状语从句,故可排除。
9. A。be absorbed in 全神贯注于,专心于,也可以用be lost in,此处去掉be,用过去分词作状语,表示状态;attract表示“被......吸引”多用“be attracted by”; be addicted to表示“痴迷,上瘾”。
10. C。sb. is to blame意为“某人该受责备,是某人的过错”。

13. B。cure后有定语修饰,是特指,第一空选the;most+形容词前面如果不加定冠词,most意为“非常”。句意:医学专家最近开发出来的治疗这种病的新疗法证明是很有效的,虽然不能完全杀死所有的病毒。

16. C。in addition to相当于“besides”,意思为“除了.......外,还”,符合题意。except for 表示整体中否定其中一点细节,不合题意;A项beside意为“在......旁边”,排除;except表示“除......之外”,排除。
17. B。with的复合结构中宾语two children与动词attend是主动关系,所以用-ing形式作宾语补足语。
18. C。put forward 提出;put off 推迟;put up 举手,搭起;put away 放好,储存。句意:主席已经提出了合适的答案。
19. B。lead to 导致,通向;result from 由......引起的;devote to 贡献,致力于;lie in 在于。
