Icannotthankyouverymuchforyourkindness,Iowemysuccesstoyou.A.soB.tooC.asD.enough正確答案：B[解析]本題考查習(xí)慣搭配。句意為：對(duì)于你的好心，我再怎么感謝也不為過，我把我的成功歸功于你。cannot...too...是固定搭配，表示“再……也不為過，越……越好”，符合句意。故答案為B。

2.

Ifpeoplecannotaffordtobuytheirownhouse,theycanrentpropertyfromaprivatelandlord,as10%ofthepopulationdoes,orfromtheirlocalcouncil.A.asdo10%ofthepopulationB.justas10%ofthepopulationwilldoC.thesameas10%ofthepeopledoD.aswilldo10%ofthepopulation正確答案：A[解析]這里的population是個(gè)集體名詞，是個(gè)復(fù)數(shù)概念，其動(dòng)詞不應(yīng)使用第三人稱單數(shù)。另外，特別應(yīng)該注意在此狀語片語中動(dòng)詞的倒裝使用法。

3.

ThepeopleonCapitalHillisnecessarytoremembertherestoftheworldaftertheircapitalgoestowrackandruin!A.needsthememoryoftherestoftheworldafterB.needstoremembertherestoftheworldbeforeC.isnecessarytoremembertherestoftheworldbeforeD.hasthenecessitytoremembertherestoftheworldbecause正確答案：B[解析]此句有兩錯(cuò)。其一，主語是people，當(dāng)作表語的necessary一詞應(yīng)該是個(gè)補(bǔ)語，如finditnecessary，而該詞不能作此句的表語；其二，該句表達(dá)語義混亂。如果后半句要用after連接，其后的謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用完成時(shí)。實(shí)際上，后半句講的是一種可能性，意思是“否則就會(huì)……”，故用before才對(duì)。

4.

Isupposethepartyendedinafriendlyatmosphere,isn'tit?A.don'tIB.doIC.diditD.didn'tit正確答案：D[解析]本題考查反意疑問句的用法。陳述句謂語用肯定形式，疑問句謂語要用否定形式，因此可排除B、C兩項(xiàng)；又因?yàn)殛愂鼍涞闹^語動(dòng)詞是實(shí)意動(dòng)詞ended，所以反意疑問句中應(yīng)借助助動(dòng)詞do，為didn'tit。所以，答案是D。

5.

Sino-foreigneducationalprogramonbusinessispopularinChinanow,andthedemandforhighlevelinterpretationisgreat.A.programsinenterprises/highlevelinterpretersB.programsininternationalbusiness/seniorinterpretersC.programsininternationalbiz/seniorinterpretationsD.programsofbusiness/high-levelinterpretations正確答案：B[解析]本題考查詞義辨析。句意為：中外教育性貿(mào)易課程在中國很流行，高水平的口譯人員的需求量肯定很大。high-level“高級(jí)別的、高層次的”，senior“資深的”，demandfor后面的賓語多用表示人的具體名詞，所以，這里應(yīng)把interpretation改成interpreter。A、C、D三項(xiàng)也不正確，故排除。所以，答案是B。

6.

Daylightsavingtimewasinstitutedtoincreaseproductivity.A.reorganizedB.startedC.encouragedD.taught正確答案：B[解析]本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析。畫線單詞．institute“建立，開始”。reorganize“改組，改造，重新組織”，start“開始，使發(fā)動(dòng)”，encourage“鼓勵(lì)，慫恿”，teach“教”。所以，答案是B。

7.

8.

Eachyear,inanever-endingcycleofdeathandrebirth,therainssweepacrosssouthernAsia.A.regrowthB.regenerationC.reconstructionD.recycle正確答案：B[解析]本題考查名詞辨析。句意為：每年，在一個(gè)死亡與再生的無限循環(huán)中，雨水席卷了亞洲南部。Rebirth“復(fù)活，新生”，regrowth“再次生長(zhǎng)，繼續(xù)生長(zhǎng)”，regeneration“再生，重建”，reconstruction“重建，改造”，recycle“再循環(huán)，再生”。根據(jù)句意可知，答案是B。

9.

WhenHenryarrivedhomeafteraharddayatwork,hiswifewasslept.A.hiswifewassleepingB.hiswifesleptC.hiswifehassleptD.hiswifehasbeensleeping正確答案：A[解析]本題考查時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)用。句意為：當(dāng)亨利一天辛苦工作之后回到家時(shí)，他的妻子正在睡覺。本句中when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句中的動(dòng)作與主句中的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生，此時(shí)主句應(yīng)用進(jìn)行時(shí)；時(shí)間狀語中用的是一般過去時(shí)，主句應(yīng)用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)。所以，答案是A。

10.

Theoldladywassufferingfromtheemptynestsyndromeforsolongthatshefeltliketofindsomeoneshecouldtalktoher.A.tofindsomeonetotalkB.findingsomeonetotalkC.tofindsomeonetotalktoD.findingsomeonetotalkto正確答案：D[解析]本題考查固定搭配。句意為：這位老婦人已經(jīng)遭受空巢綜合癥很久了，所以她想找個(gè)可以跟她說話的人。feellike(doing)something想要做某事，意欲，故排除A、C兩項(xiàng)。talk做“與……說話、談話、交談”之意講時(shí)，是不及物動(dòng)詞，常與to或with連用。因此，答案為D。

11.

Theborderwasactuallytwotowns,thoughnoonewasbigenoughtoamounttoanything.A.notoneB.neitheroneC.noneD.nor正確答案：B[解析]本句考查的是兩者中的否定，應(yīng)用neitherofthem或neitherone。

12.

13.

Theadvocates—mainlyfamilytherapydoctors—areapplyinganewapproachtoeverythingfrommarriageconflicttopsychosis.A.marginB.marineC.maritalD.martial正確答案：C[解析]本題考查形容詞辨析。句意為：倡導(dǎo)者——主要是家庭療法醫(yī)生——正在將一種新的治療方法應(yīng)用于從婚姻沖突到精神問題的各種疾病中。Marriage“婚姻”；margin“邊緣”；marine“海(產(chǎn)、運(yùn))的”；marital“婚姻的”；martial“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的，軍事的”。根據(jù)句意可知，答案是C。

14.

Throughmanyyearsofevolution,yourbodyhaslearnedbowtorespondtostressbasingonitsinstinctforsurvival.A.basedonB.takenonC.foundedonD.builton正確答案：A[解析]根據(jù)本句內(nèi)容，劃線部分應(yīng)填部分是分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語；因此處于賓補(bǔ)與賓語(howtorespondtostress)之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)填過去分詞。

15.

Don'tsethimtotalkingphilosophyorhe'llgoonallevening.A.offB.onC.atD.of正確答案：A[解析]本題考查動(dòng)詞短語辨析。句意為：不要讓他講哲學(xué)，不然他會(huì)講一晚上。setoff意為“使……開動(dòng)，使(某人)開始做某事”，符合句意。seton意為“攻擊，教唆”，不合句意；set一般不與at和of搭配，故排除。因此，答案是A。

16.

17.

Hewaslookingimpatientatthevisitingsalesman,whoshowednosignsofgettingreadytoleave.A.patientB.patienceC.impatienceD.impatiently正確答案：D[解析]本題考查副詞的應(yīng)用。此處，lookat為動(dòng)詞短語，要用副詞作狀語對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾，所以應(yīng)用impatiently。所以，答案是D。

18.

19.

GroverClevelandwasthefirstpresidentmarriedintheWhiteHouse.A.gotmarriedB.togetmarriedC.hasgotmarriedD.wasmarried正確答案：B[解析]本題考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意為：格羅弗·克利夫蘭是第一位在白宮結(jié)婚的總統(tǒng)。因?yàn)榫渲幸延兄^語，故排除A、C、D三項(xiàng)。不定式在此處作定語，修飾president。

20.

Thehard,outsurfaceofthetoothiscalledenamel.A.outsideB.appearanceC.outerD.hiding正確答案：C[解析]本題考查形容詞的用法。句意為：牙齒堅(jiān)硬的外層稱為牙釉質(zhì)。所以，此處須填入表示“外面的”之意的詞語。outside和outer均有“外部的”之意。outside一般指物體的外表或表面；而outer指相對(duì)于內(nèi)部而言的外部或外表；appearance意為“外貌，外觀”；hiding意為“隱匿”。所以，答案為C。

2.

4.

5.

6.

8.
