【答案与解析】
1. 选 A。with pleasure 的意思是“高兴地”、“乐意地”。注意不宜选B,my pleasure 主要用于回答感谢,意为“这是我乐意做的事”、“不用客气”,也可说成 It’s my pleasure 或 It’s a pleasure等。
2. 选D。It’s a deal 的意思是“就这么办”、“一言为定”。
3. 选B。if so 为 if it is so 之略,意为“如果那样的话”。
4. 选B。It all depends 的意思是“那要看情况”,也可说成 That depends。
5. 选D。not really 表示否定,但语气较轻,意为“不很……”。
6. 选A。That’s very kind of you 意为“你太好了”、“你真是太客气”,常用于感谢对方的友好提议。又如下面一题也选A:
“Can I get you a cup of coffee?” “______.”
A. That’s very nice of you B. With pleasure
C. You can, please D. Thank you for the tea
7. 选D。at your service 的意思是“随时为您服务”、“随时为您效劳”。
8. 选D。I’d rather not 通常用于委婉地拒绝对方的邀请或提议。
9. 选C。never mind 表示安慰,意为“不要紧”、“没关系”。
10. 选D。第一空填 of course not,表示“不介意”;第二空要填 shall see,因为 if 引导的是宾语从句,而不是条件状语从句,所以不能用一般现在时表示将来。
11. 选A。by all means 表示同意,意为“完全可以”。
12. 选D。excuse me 用作从别人面前经过时的礼貌用语,又如:Excuse me, could I get past? 对不起,让我过去好吗?
13. 选A。若选B,则应改为Thanks a lot;若选C,则应改为 Thank you 或 Thanks;若选D,则应改为 Thank you very much 之类的。换句话说,thank 用作动词时,它是及物的,其后应有宾语;用作名词时,它通常要用复数形式。另外注意,英语中虽然可说 Thanks a lot,但习惯上不说 Thank you a lot。
14. 选D。甲要乙现在抽出几分钟,而乙说要等下午才有空——也就是说,乙现在抽不出时间,所以选D最适合。
15. 选C。从上下文语境来看,一方因音乐声放得太大已对另一方(正在写信)造成影响,所以选C较恰当。
16. 选C。Not in the least 意为“一点也不”。注意联系下文的 I enjoyed it。
17. 选B,with pleasure 主要用于回答请求或邀请。
18. 选C。由句意推知。
19. 选B。does 相当于 likes to work with him。注意不能选D,因为 like 是及物动词。
20. 选D。答话人由于没有听清问话人的 chat 一词,故针对问话人的 have a chat with you,反问 have what with me?
21. 选 A。no way 的意思是“没门”。根据上下文的语境(尤其是It was her fault)可推知。

5. 选 C。考查 not…until… 句式,其意为“直到……才……”。

7. 选A。where 指“在……的地方”,用以引导地点状语从句。
8. 选A,wherever 意为“无论什么地方”。
9. 选 B。根据语境可推知。如下面一题也选as soon as:

11. 选 A。now that 为连词,用以引导原因状语从句,其意为“既然”,与since 同义。其中的 might as well意为“不妨”。全句意为“既然你得到一个机会,你不妨充分利用它”。

13. 选C。in case 意为“以防”。

I can’t tell you when you won’t listen. 既然你不想听,我就不告诉你了。
Why use wood when you can use plastic? 既然能用塑料,为什么还要用木料?
15. 选A。than 后省略了 he was,假若补充完整,全句即为 He is better than he was when I last visited him。
16. 选 B。比较四个选项:so long as(只要),even though(即使),since(自从,既然),while(当……时候),其中只有B的意思最合适,全句意为“即使处罚不公平,他毫无怨言地接受”。

18. 选B。as far as 意为“尽,就,至于”,常用于 as far as I know(据我所知),as far as one can see(在某人看来),as far as one can(某人尽力),as far as sth / sb is concerned(就某事 / 某人来说)等结构。
19. 选C。however 在此引导让步状语从句,意义上相当于 now matter how。
20. 选 C。so that 引导目的状语从句,其意为“为了”。
21. 选 D。根据句子语境,选 B 或 D 较适合,但 even 是副词,不是连词,不能引导状语从句,故选 D。
22. 选 D。问句的基本结构是“It is +时间段+since 从句”,其原句型是 I suppose it is no more than half a month since he left for Japan. 假若对此句中的 no more than half a month 提问,则可得到提问句。

【答案与解析】
1. 选D。what made matters worse 是主语从句(注意其后有谓语动词was),相当于 the thing that made matters worse。
2. 选A。what 引导的是表语从句,相当于 the thing that it takes to do anything well。
3. 选C。that 引导的是一个主语从句,句首的it为形式主语。
4. 选 C。答句为省略句,其完整形式为 I was trying to prove to the police where I was last night,在此 where 引导的是一个宾语从句。类似地,下面选 C:
“_______ made her struggle to become an artist so hard?” “______ she was a woman.”
A. What, What B. That, That
C. What, That D. That, What
5. 选D。what 引导的是表语从句,what 在此相当于 the things that。
6. 选 C。句首的 it 是形式主语,空格处所填词用于引导主语从句。由于该主语从句中又缺主语,故排除A、B、D。(注意:不能选 A,因为 that 引导名词性从句时不能充当句子成分)
7. 选 A。第一空填 what,是因为该主语从句中的动词 understand 缺宾语;why 和 because 均可引导表语从句,其区别是: why 引导表语从句强调结果,because 引导表语从句强调原因。句中空格后文表明的是结果,故用 why。
8. B。what 在此引导主语从句且在从句作宾语,它相当于 the thing that。
9. B。两空均填 what,均用于引导宾语从句,因为两个宾语从句中的动词 said 和do 均缺宾语,而在各个选项中只有 what 可用作宾语。
10. 选 A。what 引导宾语从句。由于动词 wants 缺宾语,所以填 what。句意是:当你找工作面试回答问题时,请记住这条黄金定律:永远给予对方确实想要的东西。
11. 选 A。I can to save them 为 I can do to save them 之略,此句中的 do 缺宾语,故选 whatever。
12. 选 B。that 在此引导主语从句,无词义,也不充当句子成分。注意不要根据中文意思选 D,因为 because 不用于引导主语从句。
13. 选 C。两个空格处均为引导宾语从句的引导词,而四个选项中两者可引导宾语从句的只有 C。
14. 选 B。比较 That’s why… 与 That’s because…:前者用于强调结果,后者用于强调原因。如下面一题选 D:
I got wet all through. _______ I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella.
A. It’s the reason B. That’s why
C. There’s why D. That’s because
15. 选 D。由 is worth praising 这一谓语可知前面是主语从句,排除不能引导从句的 B 项和 C 项;whoever 引导主语从句表示“任何……的人”,在此它相当于 anyone who。

3. 选 A。注意不能选 D,因为动词 explained 缺宾语。
4. 选 D。which 指 the road map。
5. 选C。from whose efforts he still suffers 为修饰 a serious illness 的定语从句,whose 在定语从句中用作定语,修饰 efforts。
6. 选B。where 引导定语从句修饰 one。注:one 在此指 a new job。类似地,下面一题的答案是C,因为one that 相当于 a problem that:
The problem is _____ has caused us a lot of trouble.
A. one B. that
C. one that D. that one
7. 选 D。先行词是表时间的 age(时代),由于关系词在定语从句中作状语,故用 when。

9. 选C。第一空填 which,指 the old building;第二空填 where,用以引导表语从句。

16. 选B。the way 后不接how 引导的从句,换句说,how 不是关系代词或关系副词,不能引导定语从句。以the way 为先行词的定语从句通常用 that 或 in which 来引导,在非正式文体中也可省略 that 和 in which。
17. 选D。from whose house the pictures were stolen 为修饰 the man 的定语从句,whose 在定语从句中用作定语,修饰 house。

20. 选 D。因定语从句缺主语,且关系代词指人,故选D。
21. 选A。where 所引导的为修饰 a dangerous situation 的定语从句。
22. 选 A。选项中的 I think 是插入语,若略去不看便可清楚地看出答案。
23. 选 B。of course 为插入语,若将项其去掉,则答案显然是B。
24. 选C。that which相当于 the problem which。
25. 选B。the leaves of which 相当于 whose leaves。
26. 选 D。先行词是 The famous basketballer(著名的篮球明星),故要用 who 来引导定语从句,因为其余三项均不用于指人。
27. 选 C。which 引导一个非限制性定语从句,其中 which 指代 a cheaper one,且在定语从句中用作主语。which was what 中的 what引导一个表语从句,它相当于 the one that。

【答案与解析】
1. 选B,should 后接动词完成式表示“本来应该做某事,结果未做”,此处含有责备之意。
2. 选B,对过去情况的肯定推测,宜用“情态动词 + 动词完成式”,再根据句意,可确定答案为B。注:can 表示推测通常不用于肯定陈述句。
3. 选B,表示过去可能发生而实际上未发生的事,用might + 动词完成式。若只是推测过去可能已经发生的事,则可用 may [might] + 动词完成式,如 He may [might] have gone. 他可能已经走了。
4. 选C。由句意可知。
5. 选B,do all one can 意为“尽力”或“竭尽全力”。
6. 选C,mustn’t 在此相当于 can’t,且语气更强。
7. 选B,“needn’t + 动词完成式”的意思是:本来不必做某事,但实际上做了。上句意思是“你本来不必告诉他这个消息的,因为他(当时)已经知道了”。注意,句中 knew 为过去式。
8. 选B,must 后接动词完成式表示对过去情况的肯定推测,意为“一定已经做了某事”。
9. 选B,should 后接动词完成式表示“本来应该做某事,结果未做”。
10. 选B,对过去情况的肯定推测,宜用“情态动词 + 动词完成式”,再根据句意,可确定答案为B。注:can 表示推测通常不用于肯定句。
12. 选A。may have done sth 表示对过去可能发生的事进行推测,意为“可能曾经”。
13. 选C。根据上下文的语境推知。can’t 意为“不能”。
14. 选B。根据上下文的语境推知。can’t 表推测,意为“不不能”。
16. 选D。couldn’t have done sth 表示对过去情况进行推测,意为“过去不可能发生过某情况”。
17. 选A。根据下文的 will be 可知,“他考试再不及格”是将来的事,据此可排除B和D。再根据语意,排除C。
18. 选D。从时间上看,由于是昨天没来开会,所以推测他生病也应指昨天,故排除A和C。从语境上看,既然上文说 I’m not so sure,那么说明说话者对自己的推测没有很大把握,故选D。
19. 选C。根据上文的过去时态可知,此句谈的是过去的事,故排除A和C。根据语境排除D。
20. 选C。couldn’t have done sth 结构在此表示责备,指过去本来可以做某事但实际上未做。第二空填 was wasted,陈述的是过去的一事实。
21. 选B。根据下文的 I’ll phone the airport and find it out 可知,说话人对自己的推测没有很大把握,故选 might。若选A,语气太强,不合语境;若选D,不合语法习惯,因为can 表推测通常不用于肯定陈述句中。
22. 选D。既然“通行证现在不在口袋里”,那么它“掉出去”应发生在过去,故排除A和B。比较选项C和D所表示的意思,选D更恰当。
24. 选A。根据 Don’t be so sure 可知前面一空应填must。第二空填的could表示推测,虽为过去式形式,但表示现在意义,语气较委婉,它与表推测的 can 主要用于否定句和疑问句不同,它可以用于肯定陈述句。
25. 选A。根据句中有关时态可知“他来”发生在过去,故排除B;根据 I don’t know 可知选项C语气太肯定,不合适;选项D的意思是“本来应该来”,与语境不合。

【答案与解析】
1. 选B,spare 在表示“腾出或省去(多余的人或物)”。
2. 选C,regard … as …的意思“把……当作……”,其中的介词 as 不能换成 to be。
3. 选B。I tried to 为 I tried to get a job 之省略。
4. 选D。因为A、B、C均为终止性动词,均不能连用 for about six years 这样的一段时间。
5. 选A。matter 在此的意思是“要紧”、“关系重大”。
6. 选A。填空句为强调句,强调主语 red and black colours,故其后的谓语要用复数,即排除C和D。另外,fit 与suit区别是:fit 表示“适合”或“合身”等(及物或不及物),主要是指尺寸、大小、形状等方面的适合,而 suit 表示“适合”,主要指款式或花色等方面的适合。

This will never do! 这事永远不可以。
I’m hungry. Get me something to eat. Anything will do. 我饿了,给我弄点吃的东西,什么都行。
8. 选D。show sb to the door 意为“送某人到门口”。注意,其中的介词 to 不可省略,否则就成了 show sb the door(驱赶某人,下逐客令)。另外,也不要按汉语意思选A,因为send 通常表示派人送,而不表示亲自送。
9. 选D,catch 在此表示“发现”,句中的 provided 用作连词,意为“如果”。
10. 选C。既然书不够,不能每人一本,所以有些人只能share(分享)了。

13. 选A,work 在此的意思是“起作用”、“奏效”。
14. 选B。work 在此的意思是“运作”、“运转”。
15. 选D。spend 和 cost 均可表示“花费”,但句型不同:spend + 时间或金钱 + on sth (in doing sth),cost + 某人或某机构 + 金钱或时间。
16. 选D。由句意和常识推知。
17. 选C。miss 指“错过”。
18. 选C,由句子的语境可推知。

14. 选B。因为“新的药物和器械”与“开发”之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。

【答案与解析】
1. 选B,spare 在表示“腾出或省去(多余的人或物)”。
2. 选C,regard … as …的意思“把……当作……”,其中的介词 as 不能换成 to be。
3. 选B。I tried to 为 I tried to get a job 之省略。
4. 选D。因为A、B、C均为终止性动词,均不能连用 for about six years 这样的一段时间。
5. 选A。matter 在此的意思是“要紧”、“关系重大”。
6. 选A。填空句为强调句,强调主语 red and black colours,故其后的谓语要用复数,即排除C和D。另外,fit 与suit区别是:fit 表示“适合”或“合身”等(及物或不及物),主要是指尺寸、大小、形状等方面的适合,而 suit 表示“适合”,主要指款式或花色等方面的适合。
7. 选B。do 在此表示“够”、“足够”、“适合”、“行”、“可以”等义。又如:
This will never do! 这事永远不可以。
I’m hungry. Get me something to eat. Anything will do. 我饿了,给我弄点吃的东西,什么都行。
8. 选D。show sb to the door 意为“送某人到门口”。注意,其中的介词 to 不可省略,否则就成了 show sb the door(驱赶某人,下逐客令)。另外,也不要按汉语意思选A,因为send 通常表示派人送,而不表示亲自送。
9. 选D,catch 在此表示“发现”,句中的 provided 用作连词,意为“如果”。
10. 选C。既然书不够,不能每人一本,所以有些人只能share(分享)了。
11. 选C。accept 意为“同意”、“接受”,注意不能选D,因为 agree 后不能直接跟名词或代词作宾语。
12. 选D。realize 在此的意思不是“实现”,而是指“使(不安、恐惧等)成为事实”。
13. 选A,work 在此的意思是“起作用”、“奏效”。
14. 选B。work 在此的意思是“运作”、“运转”。
15. 选D。spend 和 cost 均可表示“花费”,但句型不同:spend + 时间或金钱 + on sth (in doing sth),cost + 某人或某机构 + 金钱或时间。
16. 选D。由句意和常识推知。
17. 选C。miss 指“错过”。
18. 选C,由句子的语境可推知。
19. 选A,save 指“省去(劳力等)”。
20. 选B。
21. 选A,expects 在此不是表示“期待”,而是表示“预料”。
22. 选C,achieve 意为“完成”、“做到”。其余三项均不能直接跟名词或代词作宾语。

10. 选D。in which were written the names and addresses…为倒装句式,其正常表达为 the names and addresses of his friends were written in the notebook。
11. 选D。因为 building 应该是“被建”,故用被动语态;再根据前文的 look, under construction 等信息词可知,此处应用现在进行时态。
12. 选B。jobs与lose应为被动关系,故用被动语态;再根据条件状语从句中的一般现在时可知主句以用一般将来时为宜。
13. 选D。因为主语 a red sky 与谓语动词say之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。
14. 选B。因为“新的药物和器械”与“开发”之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。

4. 选B,similar 指“相似”,familiar 指“熟悉”。
5. 选A,此处的 fool 虽为名词,但具有形容词的性质,相当于 foolish。
6. 选B。虽然 quite, rather, much 均可用于加强语气,但是修饰比较级或副词 too(太)时,只能用 rather 或 much,而不用 quite。
7. 选D。第一个 look是实义动词(注意与之搭配的介词 at),第二个look 是连系动词。
8. 选 C。多个形容词共同修饰一个名词时,它们的位置遵循这样的原则:描绘形容词—大小(长短高低)形容词—形状形容词—年龄(新旧)形容词—颜色形容词—国籍形容词—材料形容词—用途(类别)形容词—名词(动名词)。

10. 选C。wrong 修饰nothing,seriously 修饰wrong。
11. 选C。still 修饰 active,置于其前;而副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时应置于被修饰语之后。

11. This dress is prettier, but it costs ______ that one.
A. twice more than B. twice as much as C. as much twice as D. twice so much as
【答案与解析】
1. 选B,由于是两个房间,即是两者比较,故宜用比较级,因此排除C和D;又由于两句之间没有连词,故不宜选A。注:若在空格前加上and 一词,则要选A。
2. 选B。此题关键是要理解 Not at all 的意思。根据上文语境,Not at all 为 I am not satisfied at all with his answer 之省略,即表示“我对他的回答一点也不满意”,既然如此,他的回答当然会是 It couldn’t have been worse(不可能更糟)。
3. 选 C,句意为“我的算术比琼差,但我的历史比她强”。注意句中的转折连词 but 及其后的 better。
4. 选A,we couldn’t have picked a worst day 的实际意思是 it is the worst day we’ve picked。
5. 选A,a better 为 a better one 之省略。另外,a better one(一个更好的)是与其前文“我知道这不是一个很适合的词”相呼应的。
6. 选A。根据空格后的than,排除B和D;根据语境,排除C。
7. 选D。more 后不能比较级,故排除A;quite 除用于quite better外,不用于修饰比较,故排除B;very 不用修饰比较级,故排除C。
8. 选A。若选B或C均不合事实;若选D,不合语法,因为few 后要接可数名词的复数形式。
9. 选B。从句意看,空格处应填比较级bigger,因此排除A和C。选项B与D的区别是,一个用了不定冠词,一个用了定冠词,两者的区别是,不定冠词表泛指,定冠词表特指。
10. 选D。由于是将有考试与没有考试作比较,所以应用比较级,不用最高级,由此排除A和C。选项B的错误在于用了more happier这样的双重比较级(即more后不能再加比较级)。
11. 选B。修饰as…as的副词应置于该结构之前。

1. 选D,第一空填 or,表选择;第二空填 and,can’t drink and drive 指不能同时既喝酒又开车,即不能酒后开车。
2. 选C,句意为“这家酒店开门到什么?(或这家酒店什么时候关门?)”

【答案与解析】
1. 选B,it 指前面提到的情况。由于句中用了并列连词 but,所以不能选C。当然,若去掉空格前的but,则可选C。
3. 选B,因是 both teams,即谈论的是两者,因此可锁定A和B;从语境上看,应选B,即双方都不愿输。
3. 选B。即两空均填 what,第一个what 相当于 something that;第二个what 相当于the thing that。
4. 选C,what 在句中用作动词 read 的宾语。
5. 选A,what 相当于 something that。
6. 选C,但容易误选A。按英语习惯,受 such 修饰的名词后跟定语从句时,引导定语从句的关系词一般只能是 as,而不能是 that, which, who, where等。如:Such women as knew him thought he was charming. 认识他的女人都认为他很有魅力。此句中的 as 就不能换成that 或 who,若要使用 that 或who,则需将 such 换掉,如说成Those women who knew Tom thought he was charming.
7. 选C,句意为“教室几乎是空的,大家都到哪里去了?”
8. 选B,nothing 指“什么也没有”;none 指数量上的“一点(个)也没有”。注:回答 how much 和 how many 时要用 none,而不用 nothing,道理同此。
9. 选C,what worries me 为主语从句,且 what 在主语从句中用作主语。
10. 选B。从句意推知。
11. 选B 最佳,因 who后通常不接表示范围的 of 短语,故不宜选C;若选A,则句型不对;若选D,则语义不通。
12. 选D,what 相当于 the amount that。
13. 选 A,one 在此相当于a friend。
14. 选C,I like nothing better 相当于 It’s the best thing I like。
15. 选D。else 可放在 who, what, where, how, why
等疑问词之后,但习惯上不放在which之后,而且在一般情况下也不用在whose后,遇此情况可用 who else’s,如:
Who else’s fault could it be? 这会是其他什么人的错吗?
但是,若其后不修饰名词,有时也可用whose else。如:
Whose else could it be? 这会是其他什么人的吗?
16. 选C。其余三者均不能引导主语从句。whoever 在此相当于 anyone who。
17. 选C。whoever shares her interests用作介词of的宾语,同时whoever又用作谓语动词shares的语。
18. 选B。由于句中谈到的是 Mr and Mrs Smith,即谈的是两者,故排除选项A和C,因为 none 和all 均用于指三者。又因为空格前有否定介词without,故空格处填either, 不用 neither。
19. 选D。none 可视为 I like none of them 之省略。从下文的语境看,空格处只能填空一个表否定意义的词。据此首先排除B;虽然A、C、D均表否定意义,但neither 与前面的best(既然使用最高级,说明有三者或多者在作比较)不吻合;而 nothing 表示“什么也没有”,不合语境。
20. 选 C。none 和 neither 表否定,与句中的 refused to acept这一语境不符。在 either 与 any 两个选项中,either 指两者,与句中的 three suggestions 不符。故只能选 any,指三者中的任意一个。
21. 选 A。比较四个选项:either 指两者中的“任意一个”,each 指两者或两者以上中的“每一个”,one 用来替代“a / an +单数可数名词”,it 替代“the +单数名词”。
22. 选 B。根据下文的 it’s all the same to me(对我都一样)可知,选 any 最合语境。
23. 选 D。Why me? 可视为 Why do you ask me to go and join? 之省略。另外,me 还通常在简略回答中用作主语。如:Me too.(我也一样。)
