六、作文(1題)96.假定你是Helen，要寫一封信給Julie，對她和她的丈夫昨日請你和你丈夫吃飯表示感謝，表示要回請他們，以答謝他們的盛情款待。

參考答案

1.C

2.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。

3.D

4.B解析：cuts“裁減”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱點”；imports“進口”，故正確選項為B。

5.D

6.C

7.B解析：表示否定的副詞前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒裝，即助動詞提前。其余選項均可排除。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，句子需要部分倒裝。

8.C解析：句子的前半部分是主語從句，主語從句中的謂語動詞時態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)句意而定。

9.B

10.C解析：副詞so置于句首，句子應(yīng)該用倒裝語序，某人受傷用sb.beinjured來表示，故答案為C。

11.C

12.Dapplyto應(yīng)用；applyfor申請

13.D解析：forgetdoingsth．忘了已做過某事。注意區(qū)別forgettodosth。忘了而沒有做某事。

14.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意為“特別地”。

15.A

16.Blaunch為“發(fā)射”講；其余為干擾項。

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

18.B

19.D

20.D

21.A解析：本題考虛擬語氣在名詞性從句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the廣引導的從句中，謂語動詞應(yīng)用“should+認”，should可以省去，再結(jié)合語態(tài)，故A項正確。本句大意為：他們要求所有的必要文件都必須在月底之前交到校長辦公室。

22.A解析：根據(jù)上文提到“findone”，故下文中也應(yīng)填one，表示泛指。

23.C

24.A

25.D本題考查時態(tài)。

【應(yīng)試指導】句意：當你寫信回家的時候，請代我向你的妻子問好。在時間狀語從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時。

26.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”。

27.A

28.B解析：encourage：鼓勵、鼓舞；discourage：使泄氣；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根據(jù)句意只有選B。

29.A解析：while意為“雖然”；as意為“因為”；if意為“如果”；since意為“因為”。根據(jù)題意選A。

30.B

31.D

32.A

33.C所有的學生都去看了昨天的魔術(shù)表演。它太令人不可思議了。這里主要考查的是動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么樣。Sb．bedone表示某人處于某種狀態(tài)。例：Theletteristouching．這封信令人感動。

Iammoved．我很感動。

34.A解析：此題考查反意疑問句的用法。主句為祈使句，因此其反意疑問句用willyou。

35.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、并列句和復合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復合句)

36.B解析：此處是對將來情況的假設(shè)。虛擬條件句的謂語部分為should，had或were時，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語之前，構(gòu)成主謂部分倒裝。

37.C

38.B

39.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】你難道還認為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

40.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級better。

41.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。

42.A本題考查祈使句型：

【應(yīng)試指導】句意：Mary，到這里來，其余的人待在原處。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷出這是個祈使句。所以要用動詞原形開頭。Mary在句中不是

主語，而是“呼語”。

43.A

44.D

45.B

46.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節(jié)來描述，而我卻認為它是這個計劃中最重要的部分。

47.B

48.B

49.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應(yīng)選A。

60.F

61.A解析：此空格做do的賓語，what為疑問代詞，可作賓語。how為副詞，無法做do的賓語。which為關(guān)系代詞，前面要有先行詞。that是關(guān)系代詞，
