 1 A)   【句意】他尽管学识渊博,但始终很谦逊。【难点】句型“for all +ones+名词或从句”以及“with all (ones+名词或从句)”为习惯性用语,常用来表示让步状语, for allwith all 相当于in spite of all,意为“尽管,虽然”。

 2 D)   【句意】他的诚实是无可怀疑的,没有人能怀疑这一点。【难点】  withoutquestion 意为“无可怀疑的”。inquestion 意为“在考虑中的,在议论中的”。outof question 意为“不成问题”。besidethe question 无此搭配。

 4 B)    【句意】直到他开始以钓鱼为乐,他才开始得到了轻松的休息。【难点】此句为强调句,所强调的时间状语从句部分的动作几乎和主句的动作同时发生,时间状语从句的谓语动词为过去时,因而主句的谓语动词采用过去时便可。

 9 D)   【句意】“我按时到了办公室。”“假如你的车坏了会怎么样?”【难点】  what if 意为“倘使…将会怎样”,由其构成的虚拟条件句通常用过去时表示将来,用过去完成时表示过去时,本句意在表达与过去事实相反,所以条件句子中谓语动词必须采用D)。

 10 D)   【句意】如果那时天气更好一点的话,现在庄稼长得会更好。【难点】此句为一错综时间条件句。本句中的从句表达与过去事实相反的一个假设,按照常规虚拟语气句的要求,主句中的谓语动词应为would have grown,表达与过去事实相反;但主句实际要表达的是与现在事实相反,所以谓语动词应为would be growing

试题答案与解析

 1 B)   【句意】我们晚点了,估计在我们到达电影院之前电影就已经开始了。【难点】该句子中的expect意为“考虑,估计”;by the time 意为“在

…之前”,常和将来完成时连用。 

 2 B)   【句意】要是没有阳光,也就不会有月光。【难点】英语中经常用介词短语表示虚拟条件,常用的这类介词短语为: withoutin the absence ofbut for等。本句中的虚拟语气表示与现在事实相反的一种假设,故主句中谓语为would be。

 3 D)   【句意】因为暴风雪,所有航班被取消,所以许多乘客只好坐火车。【难点】该句逗号前是一个独立结构,逻辑主语是All flights,逻辑谓语的动作在那时业已完成,所以选择having been cancelled。

 4 B)   【句意】看到自己造成的损坏,他觉得非常羞愧。【难点】on +动名词”往往用于句中表示时间状语,意为“在…时候”,是一常用的固定搭配。

 5 A)   【句意】你该意识到你并不是世界上最重要的人。【难点】虚拟语气也常用于it is high  timethat 的结构中,意为“该…了”。that从句中的谓语一般用一般过去时。

 6 C)   【句意】这两个地区相似,因为它们这个季节的降水量都很大。【难点】从句子结构和句意分析可知,两个句子之间构成因果关系,而能够表示因果关系的连词只有 in that,意为“原因是,原因在于”,常放在第二个句子的句首,表示第一句中事件发生的原因。

 7 A)   【句意】如果你掉下来的时候,他没站在梯子下接住你,你现在就不会还在这儿笑眯眯的了。【难点】此句为一错综时间条件句,从句表示与过去事实相反的一个假设,按照常规虚拟语气的要求,主句中的谓语动词应为wouldnt have smiled才能表示与过去事实相反;但从时间状语判断,主句实际要表达的是与现在事实相反,所以谓语动词为wouldnt be smiling。

 8 D)   【句意】假如我们有足够的钱,明年我们就去游黄山。【难点】  provided 意为“假若”,相当于if on condition that,常用于引导条件状语从句。lest意为“以防,以免”,由其引导的从句常常用虚拟语气。until 的用法为:如果主句的谓语动词为延续性动词的肯定式,则until意为“直到,到…为止”;如果主句中的谓语动词

为非延续性动词,则主句应该用否定式,此时until意为“直到…才”。unless 意为“除非,如果不”,相当于if not

 9 A)   【句意】年长和年轻的这两位工人各有自己的工具。【难点】  each接在复数主语后只起状语作用,所以全句的谓语动词仍用复数形式。

 10 B)   【句意】威廉告诉自己的妻子给他擦皮鞋。【难点】  have sth done 是一个常见句型,意为“使某事被做”;shine 作擦皮鞋讲时,过去分词是shined”。

试题答案与解析

1. D)   【句意】他没把事情全告诉我,就是这样。【难点】 Thats it意为“对了”,等于Thats right,或“就这样,完了”,等于Thats all.Thats that是一句加强语气的用语,表示决心、结束争论、讲完故事等时使用的用语,意为“就是这样;就是那么回事;再没什么可说的”。根据题意,选项D)正确。

2. C)   【句意】随着自然界动物居所的消失,濒危物种的数量每年也在增加。【难点】  endangered species意为“濒危物种”,endangered表示被动,不能换成endangering,因为ing形式表示主动。the amount of 修饰不可数名词,所以选项A)不对;the quantity ofthe majority of虽可修饰可数名词,但其中的endangering不合语法,所以选C)。

3. A)   【句意】物价应在供求量相等的水平上达到平衡。【难点】 be equal to意为“与…相等”,等于及物动词equal。在at which引导的定语从句中,主语为第三人称单数,而B)equal又没有词尾s,C)D)两项的形式又不正确,所以A)项正确,因其既合语法也合句意。
