1.______ the result, I would not have asked you to tell me.
（分数：1.00）
 A.If I know
 B.Had I known √
 C.I had known
 D.If I knew
解析：[解析] 此题考查虚拟语气倒装句的用法。从主句谓语形式可知其为对过去的虚拟，从句
应为与之形式一致的虚拟语气，即用过去完成时，省略if时应用倒装。
2.So little ______ about chemistry that the lecture was completely beyond me.
（分数：1.00）
 A.did I know √
 B.I know
 C.do I know
 D.I knew
解析：[解析] 我对化学了解甚少，所以这个演讲我完全听不懂。
[考点] 倒装句
[解析] little相当于一个否定词，与副词so放在句首时，句子需要部分倒装，另外助动词do的时态要与that从句的时态保持一致，故选A。
3.Don"t leave matches or cigarettes on the table within ______ of little children.
（分数：1.00）
 A.hand
&ach √
 C.space
 D.distance
解析：
4.It is necessary that he ______ us.
（分数：1.00）
 A.help √
 B.helps
 C.helped
 D.would help
解析：和54题一样，It is necessary后从句中动词用虚拟语气，即动词原形。
5.The president who has won the election ______ on television next week.
（分数：1.00）
 A.be to speak
 B.is to speak √
 C.is speaking
& speak
解析：[解析] 本题考查谓语动词的时态。句中的时间状语是表示将来的next week，所以谓语动词应该用表示将来的形式，选项A、B中的be to do sth．可以表示将来，又出为要作第三人称单数的谓语，故选项B为正确答案。
[避错指南] A项和D项都不能直接作谓语，可以首先判断为错误。C项使用现在进行时，在此
不当，因为next week既不表示即将到来的未来，speak也不能用进行时表示未来，故应予以排除。
三、Section B(总题数：5，分数：5.00)
6.Human beings are (create) 1 animals.

（分数：1.00）
解析：creative形容词作animals的定语。
7.His boss regards him as no more than a (type) 1and he is not given career opportunities.

（分数：1.00）
解析：typist [解析] 本题考查动词与名词的转换。type是动词，而空白处需填入表示人的名词，即“打字员”，所以用typist。
[答题指南] 英语中常用-ist这一后缀表示某一类人，如：artist，scientist等。此外，type的形容词形式是typical (典型的)。
8.He could described the wallet (exact) 1 , so he was owner of it.

（分数：1.00）
解析：exactly句意：他能确切地描述那个钱包，所以他是那个钱包的主人。副词修饰动词。
9.In 1968 an international balloon race was (hold) 1 to collect money for some churches in the south of England.

（分数：1.00）
解析：held [解析] 在1968年举行了一场国际热气球比赛，为英国南部的教堂筹款。
[解析] 本题测试被动语态的用法。主语和谓语间的关系是被动的。故用过去分词held。
10.I broke a glass while I (cook) 1 the dinner.

（分数：1.00）
解析：was cooking[解析] 当我做饭时，我打破了一只杯子。表示动作正在进行用正在进行时。

五、 (总题数：1，分数：5.00)
All over the world mention of the British education suggests a picture of the "public school", and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions—Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities, each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their names, are n
ot really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 to Eton.
Apart from the so-called public schools there is complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England"s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.（分数：5.00）
