27、 fewC. littleD. a little20.A. atB. overC. underD. on答案： 1.B考點：這是一個細(xì)節(jié)詢問題。解析：我們從原文第三段和倒數(shù)第四段可知，去年布萊爾夫人懷孕的消息一傳開，英國人感到非常吃驚：她45 歲才生下這個小孩，這個年紀(jì)生小孩是很危險的年齡。英國人很擔(dān)心他們的首相夫人能否順利生產(chǎn)。因此，B 最符合原義。2. C考點：這是一個判斷題；問的是以下哪一個有關(guān)這個嬰兒的說法是正確的。解析： 從前四段我們可以看出，布萊爾夫人剛生下一個男孩；這個男孩是布萊爾夫妻的第四個孩子，他重六磅，12 盎司。孩子出生以后，由父母帶回唐寧街十號。由此我們可以得知，這個孩

28、子不是在唐寧街十號出生的。故C 不符合原文。3. C考點：這是一個細(xì)節(jié)分析題；問的是布萊爾夫人是一個怎么樣的人。解析： 該題的信息出現(xiàn)在文章最后兩段。從該部分我們可以得知，布萊爾夫人是一名律師，她的孩子出生前一直在堅持工作，星期二那天，她正在高等法庭工作，對她丈夫的產(chǎn)假制度提出了挑戰(zhàn)。由此我們可以看出，布萊爾夫是一位非常堅強(qiáng)的女性。所以，本題的答案為C。4. B考點：這是一個詞匯題；考的是如何通過上下文判斷詞義。解析： 該詞所在的句子出現(xiàn)在倒數(shù)第二段里，這句話的意思是解決好事業(yè)和家庭的關(guān)系經(jīng)常是她工作的焦點。事業(yè)和家庭之間的關(guān)系對她來說是一個棘手的問題；由此我們可以得知，該詞的意思是困難的，棘

29、手的。這個詞的意思還可以從通過構(gòu)詞該詞的詞根判斷出來。我們都知道，“thorny ”的意思是“荊棘”，通過構(gòu)詞法我們可以知道，n + y 構(gòu)成了這個詞的形容詞形式。由此也可知道，該詞的詞義是“棘手的”。5. D 考點：這是一個主旨題；考的是文章的題目。解析：本文開頭直接提到首相府邸新嬰兒的出生。然后對母子的情況作了簡要的報告。整篇文章都是對布萊爾夫人生小孩的報道，所以， 最符合原文的題目應(yīng)該是 D。6.B get sb to do sth. 意為讓某人做 .7. C where = in which, “where .，there are '： 指" 哪兒有 ，就有 . .在

30、本句中，where 引導(dǎo)地點狀語.8. B distinguish right from wrong 的意思是“分清是非”，是固定搭配。所以 B 是正確答案。A 的意思是“感覺、覺察”， C 的意思是“看到、發(fā)現(xiàn)”，D 的意思是“觀察”均不符合題意。9. C would rather + 句子 （過去時）（虛擬語氣）： I d rather you didn ttell anyone what I said. 你最好別告訴任何人我所說的話。rathIer ydoucame with me. 你還是和我一起來吧。10. B except 和 except for 都是介詞，后面接短語。而exce

31、pt that 和except when 后面接賓語從句。that 在從句中只起連接作用。而when 在從句中做狀語。如：She knew nothing about his journey except that he waslikely to be away for three months. 關(guān)于他們的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要離開三個月。（ that 在賓語從句中只起連接作用）He was a man of finecharacter in all points except that he was rather timid. 他在各方面都很好， 除了有點膽小。而本句要選擇excep

32、t when ，因為 when 在從句中做狀語。11. C “ look into ”的意思是“調(diào)查”，本句的意思是“我保證一到那就調(diào)查這件事情”。 “ look for ”：尋找。 Will you help me look for my gloves?你能幫我尋找我的手套嗎？look in: 朝里面看。I looked in my purse anddiscovered I d only got a fi-vpeound note. 我朝錢包里一看，發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一張五英鎊的鈔票。look after: 照顧、照看。He has looked after his elderlyparents f

33、or many years. 他照料年邁的父母已經(jīng)多年了。12. D make out 有“辨認(rèn)出、聽出”的意思。又如： It was difficult to make out what was said over the loudspeaker in the square.很難聽清楚廣場上的擴(kuò)音喇叭里在說什么。make for:走向，朝前進(jìn)。It ' s late, we ' dbetter make for home. 時間不早了，我們最好趕快回家。Make for the beach!向海灘前進(jìn)！make sure: 設(shè)法保證。He went round making

34、sure that all thewindows were closed. 他巡視了一遍，看看所有的窗戶是否都已關(guān)上。makeover: 翻新、改造。The house has been made over into a school. 房屋已經(jīng)改成一所學(xué)校。Human nature can t be made over so easily. 人性并非那么容易改變的。13. B 這句話的意思是：我到處找食用油，但是一點也沒有找到.注意little一點，一些；雖然也用于修飾不可數(shù)名詞，但是表達(dá)否定含義.它前面有一個轉(zhuǎn)折詞 but ， 說明后句與前句的關(guān)系，結(jié)果應(yīng)該是與找油的目的相反的含義，找了，

35、但是沒有找到.所以用B.14. A我們剛坐下就發(fā)現(xiàn)是該走的時間了.no sooner than就 固定結(jié)構(gòu)，引起句子倒裝.這種形式會經(jīng)?？嫉?15. B繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了.現(xiàn)在分詞形式做伴隨狀語.16. A by far 強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級或最高級，在強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級時，比較級前也要用the.17. D feel like doing sth. 意為想做某事.18. A 你將很快適應(yīng)這里的氣候，然后氣溫的變化就不會影響你了.注意：beused to sth/doing sth 和 get used to sth./doint sth. 都表示習(xí)慣于19. B except for “除

36、了.外”，前后不屬于同一性質(zhì)，常用來表示可惜或者美中不足的語氣，例如， 本題前半部分講到的是你的寫作發(fā)好，而后半部分講到一些拼寫錯誤，前后顯然不屬于同一性質(zhì)；except 是除了.之外，前后屬于同一性質(zhì)；besides, in addition to 都指除了.，還有. .20. D 新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受.新思想是被接受的，所以要用被動形式，故D 選項正確.21. C 我哥哥在加利福尼亞度假，我真希望她在這兒，這樣他就能幫我修我的車了。 Wish 后面用虛擬語氣，與現(xiàn)在事實相反，用一般過去式。22. B 應(yīng)改為：going ，介詞后面的動詞用其ing 形式，為伴隨情況。23.

37、C 應(yīng)把 not 去掉。因為hardly 這個單詞本身就含有否定的意義。24. A 應(yīng)改為： whatever. 不管一個人的社會角色是什么，記著努力工作和 為人民服務(wù)都是應(yīng)該的。25. D 在美國， 男女關(guān)系非常處得非常近甚至于長期居住在一起，但是也無意考慮結(jié)婚。這里 marry 是及物動詞，后面沒有接賓語. 故 D 改為： to be married.26. A 這些學(xué)生希望被提供工作機(jī)會，應(yīng)該用被動語態(tài)。故 A 項應(yīng)改為to beoffered.27. C 應(yīng)改為：gets used.28. B 這句話是說：不止一次地，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己盡管提前已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備了但到時個還是懷疑自己的決定。這里doubt 不能用原形，應(yīng)改為doubting. 形式： found sb doing 29. B criticize s
