A B C D
A
[解析] 定语从句 [句意] 这正是我期待着假期里与我最亲爱的朋友们一起游览的地方。 [解析] 可以根据定语从句中的谓浯来判断使用关系代词还是关系副词:当从句中谓语动词为及物动词,并且后面无宾语时,用关系代词;当从句中谓语动词为不及物动词时,用关系副词。visit为及物动词,而且后面没有宾语,因此用关系代词出at。 [避错指导] 虽然先行词表示地点时常用关系副词whem来引导定语从句,但when在定语从句中也要作句子成分(状语),由于本题中从句缺少宾语,所以不用wbem;mwhich相当于where;没有towhere这种形式。试比较:this is the place where(=ln which)I stayed last year.这是我去年呆过的地方。

[解析] 状语从句 [句意] 如果设计错了的话,不管其他所有的想法多么好,这项工程还是注定要失败。 [解析] 疑问代词(who,what,which等)和疑问副词(how,when where等)加ever的复合形式可以引导让步状语从句,意思是“不管…”,在口语中经常由“no matter+疑问词”结构代替。此处空格后 good为形容词,因此用however。 [避错指导] whatever和whichever为连接代词,表示“不管…”,后面一般不接形容词,如:Whichever side wins,I shall be happy.(不管哪边赢,我都会高兴。);even不是连词。
5. Once the problem of the engine ______, all other problems will be readily solved.

A
[解析] 虚拟语气 [句意] 大学生应该至少学习一门外语,这很重要。 [解析] 在It is important/necessary/essential/urgent that...句型中,that引导主语从句,用虚拟语气,使用(should) +动词原形的形式。 [避错指导] must learn,learns,learned都不符合本题虚拟语气的要求。
8. Tom and Lily have arrived, but______ students of the class are not here yet.
A.other
B.others
C.the other
D.the others
A B C D
C
[解析] 代词用法 [句意] 汤姆和莉莉已经到了,但班上其他的学生还没来. [解析] 因为此处空格作后面名词students的定语,又因为students是特指该班上除了TomandLily之外的“另外那些(同学)”,所以选the other。 [避错指导] other也可以出现在定语的位置上,作限定词,表示“另外的,别的,其他的”,但不像the other那样有确定的指代范围,如:There are other ways of doing the exercises.(还有别的办法做这个练习。);others可以表示“别的(人或物)”,一般不充当定语,如:Some like milk and others prefer chocolate.(有些人喜欢牛奶,其他人喜欢巧克力。);the others可以特指“另外的那些”,但也不充当定语。

Task 2 All of us communicate with one another nonverbally (不使用言语地), as well as with words. Most of the time, we are not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand,, meet someone else's eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language. One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another's eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other's eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations. Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible explanations, too. Another example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man's eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor's authority; it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture. Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.
1. The main idea of this article is that______.
A.study of communication through body movement is a new science
B.body movements are as important as words in communication
C.all of us communicate with one another

2. Researchers think body language______.
A.can be understood and used by people in communication
B.is more important than spoken language in communication
C.has been discovered in recent years
D.is the study of communication through body movements
A B C D
A
根据文章第一段最后一句However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.可知研究者认为存在一个understandable system,指的就是body language,因此选A) 。 [避错指导] B) “在交际中比口头语言更重要”;C) “是最近几年才发现的”,根据文章第一段最后两句These actions we assume are occasional.However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.(我们认为这些动作不过是偶尔为之。然而,最近几年,研究者发现存在着一个和语言一样持久的、可以理解的系统。)这不是研究者的观点,而是研究者的发现,因此不符合题干中的think;D) “是关于用形体动作进行交你的研究”,只是文章作者的总结,也不是题干中的Researchers think,因此D) 错误。
3. The word "intimate" (Line 4; Para. 2) probably means______.

[解析] 本题的关键在于理解句子的结构:主语为One of the solutions is为系动词,to引导的不定式作表语。介宾结构to the more and more urgent problem of sea pollution为主语的定语,指“越来越迫切的海水污染问题的”解决方案之一;定语从句which do not pollute修饰ships,指“不污染的”。在理清句子结构之后,就可以在翻译时拆分长句,使译文在做到准确的基础上,更符合汉语表达习惯。
