參考答案

1.D解析：本題測試形容詞辨析。四個選項的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個細(xì)節(jié)來描述，而我卻認(rèn)為它是這個計劃中最重要的部分。

2.A

3.B解析：本題考查動詞固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介詞of，表示剝奪什么。

4.B解析：takemeasures意思為“采取措施”，本句應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)。

5.D

6.C

7.C解析：本題考查倒裝虛擬語氣用法。本句是表示與將來事實相反，所以從句用wereto形式。句意為：如果他今天出發(fā)的話，他就會在星期五以前到達(dá)那里。

8.D解析：從句中的問句主謂不倒裝。從句的時態(tài)隨主句。我想知道那輛車的價格。

9.B考查反義疑問句。原句應(yīng)是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反義疑問句的規(guī)則是陳述部分是肯定式，疑問部分應(yīng)是否定式。Wouldthink表示推測，疑問部分也應(yīng)選擇would。選項B是正確的。【句子大意】你難道還認(rèn)為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

10.B解析：本題考查固定搭配的用法。當(dāng)否定詞位于句前時，得出結(jié)論應(yīng)用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故選B。

11.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語從句，指代前邊一句話。本題涉及句法知識——簡單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復(fù)合句)

12.B解析：theeducationsystem是主語，謂語動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)；thedesiredresults意為“期望的結(jié)果”。

13.B

14.D

15.Bsetout意為“出發(fā)，動身”。

16.B

17.B

18.C解析：本題考查詞義的辨別。rise出現(xiàn)，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

19.D

20.D解析：上句責(zé)備瑪麗應(yīng)該做作業(yè)而不是坐到那兒看電視，下句是瑪麗對媽媽責(zé)備的一種辯解：“你說過電視是有教育意義的。”所以D項正確。

21.Ithinkthelong-rangebenefitsoftheprogramcandrasticallychangethelivingconditionsforeveryoneontheearth.

22.I’vejustgraduatedfromcollege,andI’mlookingforaninterestingandwell-paidjob.

23.據(jù)測定，霧滴中各種酸、堿、鹽、胺、酚、塵埃、病原微生物等有害物質(zhì)的比例，比通常的大氣水滴高出幾十倍。
