(分数:2.50)
A.Her chief desire is toeducate her child well.
B.He woke up tofind everybody gone. √
C.I have nothingto say on this question.
D.He asked me totalk about English study.
解析:[解析] 考查不定式。A中的不定式作表语,说明desire的具体内容;B中作状语,表结果,为本题答案;C中作后置定语修饰nothing;D中作me的宾语补足语。
2.The fire spread through the hotel very quickly but everyone ______ get out in time.
(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.had to
B.would
&uld
D.was able to √
解析:[解析] 考查could和be able to的区别。二者都可以表示“能力”,但Can是指现在的能力,表示过去、将来的能力分别用was/were able to和will be able to,故本题选D。
3.Henry spares no effort to get two tickets for the concert held at the Sports Centre. ______.
(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.So he is
B.So he does √
C.So is he
D.So does he
解析:[解析] “so+主语+助动词”结构意为“可不是嘛,的确如此”,表示说话人认同对方的看法。该结构中的主语与前一句话中的主语相对应,助动词则根据前一句话的谓语动词而定。此题前一句话的谓语动词是spares,因此用does,答案为B。注意区分“so+助动词+主语”结构,表示“……也是这样”,用在此处不合适。
4.The prepositional phrase in "A chair is a piece of furniture for sitting on " indicates
(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.cause
&sult
C.direction
D.purpose √
解析:[解析] 考查介词for的用法。介词for可以表示目的,后面只可接名词或动名词。后接动名词时表示某物的一般性目的,即用途;后接名词时表示某人某次的行为目的,这时也可用不定式表示。如:I went to the doctor for a checkup. 也可用不定式表示:I went to the doctor to check my body. 题中的for sitting on是描述椅子的用途,即某物的一般性目的,因此答案为D。
5.All the following sentences contain a transferred negation structure (否定转移结构) EXCEPT
(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.It doesn"t sound as if he knew what had happened.
B.I don"t believe both of them are innocent. √
C.The engine didn"t stop because the fuel was used up.
D.It doesn"t look like it is going to rain.
解析:[解析] 在表感觉的动词“appear, feel like, seem, look, sound, +从句”结构中从句的否定词常移到这些动词的前面,如A、D项。这种结构中not否定的是because引导的从句,C可表达为The engine stopped not because the fuel was used up. 当主句谓语动词(think, believe, suppose, consider, expect等)为否定形式,实际上否定的是宾语从句肯定形式的谓语动词。而B则是特例,因为所接宾语从句中有all, every, many, both等表全体意义的词或副词时,否定不会发生转移。
6.Professor Wang is always willing to accept ______ corrections on his essays.
(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.all other √
&her all
&her these
&her any
解析:[解析] 限定词的搭配关系。多个限定词修饰同一名词时,按“前位——中位——后位”限定词的顺序排列。前位限定词主要有:all, both, double, half, many, twice/three times/..., such等;中位限定词主要有冠词、指示代词、属格、所有格和any, some, every, no, either, neither, enough等;后位限定词主要有基数词、序数词和next, few, little, another, other, every, such等。四个选项中只有A符合要求。

(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.has been
B.is being
C.would be
D.had been √
解析:[解析] 这个布娃娃“被放在沙发上”发生在“引起了小女孩的注意”之前,即“过去的过去”,所以用过去完成时。答案为D。

(分数:2.50)
A.he catches cold
B.he should catch cold √
C.he caught cold
D.he be catching cold

(分数:2.50)
(分数:2.50)
A.will graduate
B.would have graduated √
C.would gradate
D.has gradated
解析:[解析] 从句中用了过去完成时had been able to,根据句意可看出,这是对过去事实的虚拟,事实上,海伦当时没有完成课程要求,所以她当时就未能毕业。可见,“毕业”这一动作本应在过去已经完成的,故用“would+have graduated”,答案为B。
