40、dian-chinese friendship association促進：fosterpart structute section a16c解析 need，require等動詞表示“需要”時，要用動名詞或動詞不定式的被動形式作賓語，表示被動的含義，即need doing或need to be done，故選c。17a解析 whom 引導的賓語從句作wonder的賓語；而在從句中，whom作belong to的賓語。另外，在賓語從句中，主語和謂語的順序應與陳述句相同，故選a。18d解析 由形容詞最高級修飾的名詞，其后的定語從句要用that引導，故選d。19b解析 since引導的是原因狀語從句

41、，表示“因為，由于”。其他選項與題意不符：although意為“雖然，盡管”，if意為“如果”，until意為“直到才”，故選b。20d解析 在表示“要求”，“堅持”，“建議”，“命令”等動詞后的從句中，謂語動詞用“(should) +動詞原形”構成虛擬語氣；在這里，省略了should，直接要加動詞原形。這些動詞的主語從句，如it is required that.，it is ordered that.，it is suggested that.等，也要用相同的形式，例如：it is suggested that we (should) study hard(人們建議我們應該好好學習。)21

42、a解析 該句雖然是直接引語的句子，但時間狀語為by the end of last year(到去年為止)，這樣直接引語中的謂語動詞就構成了“過去的過去”，所以應該用過去完成時。四個選項中只有a是過去完成時時態(tài)，故選a。22c解析 形容詞的比較級前不能加定冠詞the，所以b，d不正確。elder主要用于指家庭成員，不符合題意，如：my elder brother(我的哥哥)，故選c。23b解析 以“only+狀語”開頭的句子要使用部分倒裝，即把情態(tài)動詞或助動詞提到主語的前面，所以c、d不正確，但a選項的情態(tài)動詞也不正確，故選d。24b解析 如果主語為單數(shù)，盡管后面有with，together

43、with，as well as，no less than，like，but，expect等介詞，但這樣的介詞短語相當于修飾主語的定語成分，所以謂語動詞仍用單數(shù)，故選b。25a解析 take over意為“接收，接管”；hand in意為“上交”；put in意為“放進，提出，提交，插入”；lead to意為“導致，通向”。只有a項符合題意，故選a。section b26were crossing解析 根據句意，從句表示過去某段時間正在進行的動作，所以時態(tài)要用過去進行時。27(should) send解析 當表語從句的主語和同位語從句的先行詞是能夠引起虛擬語氣的抽象名詞時，從句必須用虛擬語氣。從

44、句的謂語動詞用“(should+)動詞原形”的形式。類似的名詞包括：idea，motion，plan，advice， demand，desire，order，proposal，requirement，suggestion，decision，recommendation等。28improvement解析 根據句子結構可以看出no后需要一個名詞作賓語，improve的名詞形式為improvement，意為“進展，進步”。29to live解析 prefer to do sth. rather than do sth意為“寧愿做也不愿做”。此句中，rather than后的 live被省略了，故答案

45、為to live。30carrying解析 have difficulty/trouble(in)doing sth意為“做有困難”，因此要把carry變?yōu)閯用~形式。31knowing解析 現(xiàn)在分詞作原因狀浯相當于as，since，because等連詞引導的從句，現(xiàn)在分詞與主句主語之間為主謂關系，故答案為knowing。32height解析 根據句子結構可以看出the后需要一個名詞作賓語，high的名詞形式為height，意為“高度”。33emphasizes解析 根據句子結構可以看出本句話缺少謂語，所以空格中需要用一個動詞做謂語，emphasis的動詞為 emphasize。本句強調了一個客觀事實，所以謂語動詞要使用一般現(xiàn)在時，又因為主語“the number of.”是第三人稱單數(shù)，所以謂語動詞也要使用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。34automatic解析 根據句子結構可以看出空格中需要一個形容詞作定語，來修飾賓語temperature control system，automa
