Sample Answer[A] [B] [C] [D]
1、The Social Security Retirement Program is made up of two trust funds,[] could go penniless by next year.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 B
[注释]本题测试非限制性定语从句知识,同时也涉及形容词的比较级和最高级。THE LARGER OF WHICH引导非限制性定语从句。因为主句中提到两项,两者的比较,用比较级,[D]项是最高级,所以错了。
[A]the larger one
[B]the larger of which
[C]the largest one
[D]the largest of which
2、Nowhere in nature is aluminum found free,owing to its always [] with other elements,most commonly with oxygen.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 D
[注释]本题考查动名词用法知识。BEING COMBINED是动名词,ITS是它的逻辑主语,合在一起构成动名词复合结构,作介词OWING TO的宾语。
[A]combined
[B]having combined
[C]combine
[D]being combined
3、Andrew,my father's younger brother,will not be at the picnic,[] to the familys disappointment.

[C]too much
[D]much more
4、I would have gone to visit him in the hospital had it been at all possible,but I [] fully occupied the whole of last week.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 D
[注释]本题考查考生能否排除虚拟语气干扰,选择正确时态。BUT连接了两个并列的分句,第一个分句中用了虚拟语气的过去式,BUT后是陈述语气,动词也用一般过去时。不少考生选用[B] HAD BEEN,那是没有注意连词是BUT。
[A]were
[B]had been
[C]have been
[D]was
5、Help will come from the UN,but the aid will be [] near what's needed.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 C
[注释]本题考查固定词语搭配。此题前一半是肯定句,“将可以从联合国得到帮助”,后一半由BUT连接,表示转折,显然是对前半句的否定,只有NOWHERE是否定,所以[C]项正确。
[A]everywhere
[B]somewhere
[C]nowhere
[D]anywhere
6、The chief reason for the population growth isn't so much a rise in birth rates [] a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 B
[注释]本题考查一固定句型NOT SO MUCH...AS...,意为“与其说……不如说……”。此句的主要结构是:THE CHIEF REASON...ISNT SO MUCH ...AS...。...NOT AS MUCH ... AS是固定搭配,意思是“如其…不如说…”。
[A]and
[B]as
[C]but
[D]or
7、He claims to be an expert in astronomy,but in actual fact he is quite ignorant on the subject.[] he knows about it is out of date and inaccurate.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 A
[注释]本题主要考查主语从句知识。WHAT LITTLE HE KNOWS ABOUT IT是主语从句,WHAT在从句中还作定语,修饰LITTLE,意思是“所……的一点点”。
[A]What little
[B]So much
[C]How much
[D]So little
8、Although we feel dissatisfied with the election results,we have to become reconciled [] the decision made by our fellow countrymen.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 C
[注释]本题考查动词与介词的搭配用法。BE RECONCILED TO是固定搭配,其中的TO是介词,后接名词。
[A]for
[B]on
[C]to
[D]in
9、Just as the value of a telephone network increases with each new phone [] to the system,so does the value of a computer system increase with each program that turns out.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 D
[注释]本题考查现在分词及过去分词作定语时的区别。这是测试“WITH+名词+分词”的结构,实际上其中的名词是分词的逻辑主语,所以判断用现在分词,还是过去分词,要看该名词与分词的关系。该名词能发出分词动作的,用现在分词;反之,用过去分词。此句中的名词PHONE不能发出ADD这一动作,所以要用过去分词,表示被动。
[A]adding
[B]to have added
[C]to add
[D]added
10、The vocabulary and grammatical differences between British and American English are so trivial and few as hardly [].
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 B
[注释]本题考查考生对SO...AS TO...结构的熟识程度。此句主要结构是...DIFFERENCES...ARE SO TRIVIAL AND FEW AS HARDLY TO BE NOTICED。测试考生对SO...AS TO结构掌握程度。SO后面接了两个意义上表示否定的词,所以AS后面也要用否定,HARDLY正好表示否定,接TO BE NOTICED这一不定式的被动式,表示被动。
[A]noticed
[B]to be noticed
[C]being noticed
[D]to notice
Section B
Directions:
Each of the following sentences has four underlined parts marked [A],[B],[C]and [D]. Identify the part of the sentence that is incorrect and mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET Ⅰ by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.(5 points)
Example:
A number of[A] foreign visitors were taken[B] to the industrial exhibition, which[C] they saw[D] many new products.
Answer [C] is wrong. The sentence should read, A number of foreign visitors were taken to the industrial exhibition, where they saw many new products.” So you should choose [C].
Sample Answer
[A] [B] [C] [D]
11、Although Professor Greens lectures usually ran (over) [A] the (fifty-minute) [B] period,(but none) [C] of his students (ever) [D] objected as they found his lectures both informative and interesting.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 C
[注释]本题考查连接手段问题。BUT NONE应改为NONE。句首有ALTHOUGH,后面不与BUT搭配。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
12、(When) [A] Edison died, it was proposed that the American people (turned off) [B](all power) [C] in their homes, streets, and factories for several minutes (in honor of) [D] this great man.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 B
[注释]本题考查虚拟语气知识。TURNED OFF改为(SHOULD) TURN OFF。动词PROPOSE后面的THAT从句中,谓语动词要用虚拟语气,形式是(SHOULD)+动词原形。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
13、They (pointed out) [A] the damage (which) [B] they supposed (that) [C] had been done by last (night's) [D] storm.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 C
[注释]本题考查考生对插入语的认知。THAT应当去掉。WHICH THEY SUPPOSED…到最后,是定语从句,修饰DAMAGE,关系代词WHICH在从句中作主语,THEY SUPPOSED是插入语,所以THAT是多余的。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
14、(Because of) [A] the recent accidents, our parents forbid my brother and me (from swimming)[B] in the river (unless)[C] someone agrees (to watch) [D] over us.
15A great many [A] teachers firmly [B] believe that English is one of the poorest-taught [C] subjects in high schools at present.[D]
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 B
[注释]本题考查考生对FORBID SB. TO DO STH.结构的把握,其中不定式作宾语补足语。FROM SWIMMING改为TO SWIM。FORBID SB.TO DO STH.是固定搭配,不用FROM DOING STH.
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
15、(A great many) [A] teachers (firmly) [B] believe that English is one of the (poorest-taught) [C] subjects in high schools (at present). [D]
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 C
[注释]本题考查词与词的对应修饰关系,如形容词修饰名词,副词修饰动词。POORESTTAUGHT改为MOST POORLYTAUGHT或POORLIESTTAUGHT。POOREST是形容词,不可修饰过去分词TAUGHT,所以应当把POOREST改为副词最高级。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
16、In this way these insects show an efficient use of their (sound-produced) [A] ability, (organizing) [B] two sounds (delivered) [C] at a high rate as one (call).[D]
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 A
[注释] 本题考查现在分词与过去分词作定语时的区别。SOUNDPRODUCED 改为 SOUNDPRODUCING。名词SOUND实际上是PRODUCING的宾语,所以要用现在分词表示主动,不可用过去分词。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
17、I thought the technician was (to blame) [A] for the (blowing) [B] of the fuse,but I see now (how) [C] I (was) [D]mistaken.
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 C
[注释]本题涉及关系词误用问题。HOW改为THAT。THAT引导名词性从句,作宾语。因为句子中没有HOW的词义,所以不可用它。若要用HOW,应说成HOW MISTAKEN I WAS。有许多考生选了[A]项,认为应当用TO BE BLAMED,实际上,总是用BE TO BLAME代替BE TO BLAMED。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
18、For him (to be re-elected),[A]what is essential is not that his policy (works), [B] (but that) [C] the public believe that it (is).[D]
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 D
[注释]本题考查省略式的表达问题。IS改为DOES,这儿的DOES与[B]项动词WORKS相呼应,因为WORKS是行为动词,所以用DOES来代替,而不用IS。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
19、(As far as) [A] I am concerned, his politics (are) [B]rather conservative (compared) [C] with other (politicians).[D]
(本题分值:0.5分)
【正确答案】 D
[注释]本题涉及比较结构中被比较对象的一致问题。POLITICIANS改为POLITICIANS。前面的比较对象是POLITICS,后面的比较对象是POLITICIANS,比较对象不一致,显然是错的,改成POLITICIANS后,后面省略了POLITICS。
[A]
[B]
[C]
[D]
20、I'd say whenever you (are going) [A] after something that (is belonging) [B] to you, anyone who (is depriving) [C] you of the right to have it is (criminal).[D]
(本题分值:0.5分)
