一、GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY(总题数:40,分数:100.00)
1.Which of the following infinitives (不定式) functions as an adverbial?
(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)
 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)
 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)
 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)
 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)
 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。

 A.Nowadays leather shoes won"t wear long.
 B.The library opens at seven o"clock every day.
 C.The explanation for his being late is obscure. 
 D.Mom says the watch needs mending.
解析:[解析] 英语中,wash, open, write, sell, wear等动词的主动语态常表示被动意义,如
选项A、B;want, deserve, need, worth, require等动词后接动名词表示被动意义,如选项D。只有C不包含被动含义,为正确答案。
8.The little girl"s attention was suddenly caught by a rag doll which ______ put on the sofa, and she stopped crying.
(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。
9.She put an extra blanket over the baby for fear that ______.
(分数:2.50)
 A.he catches cold
 B.he should catch cold 
 C.he caught cold
 D.he be catching cold
解析:[解析] for fear that后接虚拟语气,用“should+动词原形”,答案为B。
10.Helen ______ with her class if she had been able to meet all of the course requirements in time.
(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。
