2. What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?
A.It was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.
B.He refused to spend his money in a wise manner.
C.He was short of money and didn't want to buy anything.
D.He refused, in a wise manner, to spend his money.
A B C D
A
[解析] 从语法上看,副词wisely修饰动词refused;但从语义上来看,本句实际上是说主语He做出“拒绝”的行为是“明智的”,wisely说明的是发出动作的人的特性,所以答案是A。本题D是强干扰项,a wise manner并没有真正揭示句中wisely的语义关系。英语中常用wise, intelligent, foolish等说明人的词语修饰主体发出的动作,从而形成了所谓的“移就”修辞手法(transferred epithet),又如:He had some cheerful wine at the party.
3. Which of the following words can NOT be used to complete "We've seen the film ______"?
10. Language belongs to each member of the society, to the cleaner ______ to the professor.
A.as far as
B.the same as
C.as much as
D.as long as
A B C D
C
[解析] C项as much as表示“与……一样的程度”,符合题意。A项as far as表示“远到”,“就……,至于……”,far不能修饰本句中的belong to,故不对;B项the same as表示“与……一样”,不能表示题目中“程度一样”的意思;D项as long as表示“只要”,引导从句,故不正确。
11. Western Nebraska generally receives less snow than ______ Eastern Nebraska.
A.in
B.it receives in
C.does
D.it does in
A B C D
C
[解析] than连接比较状语从句,前后的成分应该对等。即此处比较对象应该都为“地区”,因此A、B、D三个选项都不正确。C项does实际上构成一个倒装结构,does为receives的代动词,避免重复。如果不使用倒装,全句应该为:Western Nebraska generally receives less snow than eastern Nebraska receives.
12. There are as good fish in the sea ______ ever came out of it.
13. That trumpet player was certainly loud. But I wasn't bothered by his loudness ______ by his lack of talent.
A.so much as
B.rather than
C.as
D.than
A B C D
A
[解析] not so much A as B结构可以替换成:less A than B, not A but rather B, more B than A等结构,均相当于“与其说是A还不如说是B”。如果选择B,则原句应改为I was bothered by his lack of talent rather than by his loudness.
14. The square itself is five hundred yards wide, five times ______ the size of St. Peter's in Rome.
A./
B.that of
C.which is
D.of
A B C D
A
[解析] “A is 倍数+the size of B”(A是B的几倍大小),这是固定用法,中间不需要加任何词,故选A。
15. Which of the following italicized phrases is INCORRECT?
21. Which of the following italicized phrases indicates CAUSE?
A.Why don't you do it for the sake of your friends?
B.I wish I could write as well as you.
C.For all his efforts, he didn't get an A.
D.Her eyes were red from excessive reading.
A B C D
D
[解析] A中for the sake of your friends意为“为你朋友着想”,是主句的目的;B中as well as意为“和你一样”,表示比较;C中for all his efforts意为“尽管他非常努力”,表示让步,所以都不是正确答案。只有D项“由于过量阅读,她的眼睛都红了。”正确。
22. ______, he is ready to accept suggestions from different sources.
A.Instead of his contributions
B.For all his notable contributions
C.His making notable contributions
D.However his notable contributions
A B C D
B
[解析] 题干后半部分为结构完整的句子,因此空格部分最可能填入状语。B项是介词短语,for all“尽管,虽然”表示让步,后接名词短语或that从句,B项符合句意,故正确。A项instead of介词短语用在句首作状语时,一般表示“不是……而是……”,不合句意;C项是动名词短语,不能作状语;D项however可以用来引导让步性状语从句,但不能直接跟名词或动名词,如在本句中应为however notable his contributions (are)。
23. Which of the following sentences expresses WILLINGNESS?
A.By now she will be eating dinner.
B.I shall never do that again.
C.You shall get a promotion.
D.My brother will help you with the luggage.
A B C D
D
[解析] will可以用于描述将要发生的动作,也可以表示主语的“意愿、决心或承诺”,A项的will be doing表示按照安排将要发生的事情,D项中的will表示意愿,D为正确答案。shall在疑问句中用于征求对方意见,主要用于第一人称,意为“……好吗?”;shall用于陈述句中,表示说话者的允诺、告诫、命令等,主要用于第二、第三人称,有时用于第一人称,表示决心,选项B表示决心,选项C表示许诺,注意此处表示的是说话人的许诺。
24. Which of the following best explains the meaning of "Shall we buy the tickets first"?
A.He said that we were going to buy the tickets first.
B.He requested that we buy the tickets first.
C.He suggested that we buy the tickets first.
D.He advised us to buy the tickets first.
A B C D
C
[解析] shall用在疑问句中,表示提议做某事,或就做某事征求对方意见。A项把shall理解成将来发生的动作,不正确。B项把shall理解成“要求”,也不正确;shall表示“命令、要求”时,通常用于第二、三人称,如:You shall obey my orders. 完成本题还需辨析suggest和advise的区别。suggest表达了征求意见的意思,相当于“提议”,而advise语气比较“硬”,含给出“劝说,忠告”的意思。所以,C项正确。
25. "She must be in the dormitory now." "No, she ______ be there. I saw her in the classroom a minute ago."
26. The meeting's been cancelled. Ann ______ all that work.
A.need to do
B.need have
C.needn't have done
D.needed not to be
A B C D
C
[解析] need表示必要,可作实义动词也可作助动词。needn't have done表示“本不必做某事”,与空格前的“会议取消”语义相通,为答案。A项表示“有必要做某事”,意义不符,且need为实义动词,需要用第三人称单数;B项表示“有必要做”,意义不符;D项中的need是实义动词,否定形式应该用didn't need to be,且be动词使用不当。
27. He ______ the 8:20 bus because he didn't leave home till 8:25.
A.couldn't have caught
B.ought to have caught
C.shouldn't have caught
D.must not have caught
A B C D
A
[解析] because引导的分句用了过去时,因此本句是对过去的推测。而根据他出门的时间,可知他肯定没有赶上车,要用couldn't表否定推测,答案为A项couldn't have caught。must表推测时只用于肯定句中,ought to have done表示“本应该”,shoudn't, have done表示“本不应该”。
28. She ______ fifty or so when I first met her at a conference.
32. I went there in 1984, and that was the only occasion when I ______ the journey in exactly two days.
A.must make
B.must have made
C.was able to make
D.could make
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句是陈述过去事实,而A项must多指现在或将来的情况,一般不用来表示过去必须做某事,据此排除。B项must have done sth. 表示对过去行为的推测、猜想,不一定是事实,与句意不符。D项could指“一般的能力”,通常不表示某人在某一场合设法做了某事,故不正确。C项was able to专用于过去的具体场合,尤其指“具有能力完成某件有难度的事情”,因此正确。
33. He ______ unwisely, but he was at least trying to do something helpful.
36. As it turned out to be a small house party, we ______ so formally.
A.need not have dressed up
B.must not have dressed up
C.did not need to dress up
D.must not dress up
A B C D
A
[解析] 根据前一分句中的turn out to be...“到后来才发现”,可知说话者事先并不知情,所以事实上穿得很正规,need not have done结构表示“本没必要”,符合题意,故A为答案。C项didn't, need to do表示在过去没必要做某事,并且事实上也没有做,故不对;must not常表示“不准”,B、D都不正确。
37. You ______ Mark anything. It was none of his business.
A.needn't have told
B.needn't tell
C.mustn't have told
D.mustn't tell
A B C D
A
[解析] needn't have done sth. 表示做了本来不必要做的事情,A符合题意。本题后半句所用的过去式表示tell的动作已经发生,B项是建议或要求,D项意为“不准告诉”,这两项的动作均未发生,故不正确;must表推测时用于肯定句,不用于否定,故C项也不对。
