參考答案

1.B解析：本題考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困難”。句意為：有時(shí)孩子們?cè)诜智骞适潞同F(xiàn)實(shí)方面會(huì)有困難，相信故事中的事確實(shí)存在。

2.B

3.A

4.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意為“特別地”。

5.D解析：從句中的問句主謂不倒裝。從句的時(shí)態(tài)隨主句。我想知道那輛車的價(jià)格。

6.A解析：while意為“雖然”；as意為“因?yàn)椤?；if意為“如果”；since意為“因?yàn)椤?。根?jù)題意選A。

7.A

8.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(cè)，疑問部分也應(yīng)選擇would。選項(xiàng)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?

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

10.C解析：notonly…butalso連接主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞根據(jù)就近原則由butalso后的成分來決定。TomandMary是兩個(gè)人，所以動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

11.D

12.B解析：表示否定的副詞前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒裝，即助動(dòng)詞提前。其余選項(xiàng)均可排除。除Notuntil外還有never，seldom，rarely，seldom，no，little，hardly，innotime等否定副詞或結(jié)構(gòu)放在句首時(shí)，句子需要部分倒裝。

13.C

14.A【句子大意】新打字機(jī)的價(jià)格是二手貨的三倍。

15.C

16.B

17.Bsetout意為“出發(fā)，動(dòng)身”。

18.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(shí)——簡(jiǎn)單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡(jiǎn)單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復(fù)合句)

19.B

20.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(shí)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(huì)在星期五以前到達(dá)那里。

21.女人的記憶力比男人稍微強(qiáng)一點(diǎn)這可能是因?yàn)樗齻兏幼⒁猸h(huán)境而記憶力就取決于環(huán)境。女人的記憶力比男人稍微強(qiáng)一點(diǎn)，這可能是因?yàn)樗齻兏幼⒁猸h(huán)境，而記憶力就取決于環(huán)境。

30.聽到這個(gè)好消息，他簡(jiǎn)直無法相信自己的耳朵。Hecouldn’tbelievehisearswhenhearingthegoodnews./Whenhearingthegoodnews,hecouldn’tbelievehisears.
