A.validity
B.variety
C.scarcity
D.rarity
A B C D
C
[解析] 名词形似义异辨析。scarcity“不足,缺乏”。通常和介词of搭配,如:The scarcity of food forced prices up.食物短缺促使价格上涨。validity意为“有效,有根据”,同样也和介词of搭配。variety为“品种,种类”,也可以与介词of搭配。而rarity则是“稀罕,罕见”的意思。

B.will have stayed
C.would have stayed
D.have stayed
A B C D
B
[解析] 根据句意,graduate这一动作还未发生,而且“在澳洲居住满一年”是在将来的某一时间完成的,因此主句要用将来完成时,答案为B。将来完成时常和“by the time+句子”的结构连用。
5. "Hotel workers suspect that the fire was ignited by a cigarette and that a guest may have thrown the cigarette into a bush from the pool deck." The modal auxiliary verb phrase "may have thrown" in the sentence expresses ______.
6. In reading stories we anticipate what is to come ______ on our memory of what has gone before.
A.based
B.basing
C.to base
D.to be based
A B C D
A
[解析] 读故事的时候,我们可以根据对以往发生事件的记忆预测将要发生的事情。 考查非谓语动词。此处过去分词短语based on our memory of what has gone before作主句的状语。base on意为“以……为依据”,基本用法有base sth. on sth.和sth. be based on sth.,取决于前后二者的关系是主动还是被动。在本句中,our memory of...是“被基于”的事物,因此要用被动态。

A B C D

[解析] 省略句式题。根据题意可知,本题所要选的是一个没有省略的句子。A属于省略句,其完整结构为Our teacher came in with a book in his hand.;B属于省略句,其完整结构为These are Tom's books and those are Lily's books.;C属于省略句,其完整结构为You shouldn't come here unless you are invited.;只有D是完整的句子,没有省略的部分,因此答案为D。

A.fertile
B.sterile
C.hostile
D.serial
A B C D
B
[解析] 形容词形似义异辨析。sterile意为“贫瘠的,(土地等)不长植物的”,如:a sterile region贫瘠地区。sterile还表示“不育的,无菌的”。 fertile恰好是sterile的反义词,表示“肥沃的,富饶的,能生育的,(创造力等)丰富的”,如:fertile soil肥沃的土壤,a fertile imagination丰富的想象力,另infertile=sterile=barren。hostile意为“(人、社团等对特定的人或思想)不友善的,怀敌意的”,一般和介词to搭配,如:The villagers were hostile to us. 村民对我们怀有敌意;serial则表示“连续的,一连串的”,通常做定语,如:Banknotes bear serial numbers. 钞票上印有连续的号码。
29. Which of the following italicized phrases indicates CAUSE?
A.We could hardly see for the mist.
B.He went out for a walk.
C.I've got a present for you.
D.For miles and miles we saw nothing but trees.
A B C D
A
考查原因状语。A选项中的斜体部分for the mist是该句的原因状语,表示原因;B选项中的斜体部分for a walk是该句的目的状语,表示目的;C选项中的斜体部分for you是“for+名词”表示对象;D选项中的斜体部分For miles and miles是“for+名词”结构,表示距离;故选A。

32. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so it seems as if the sun ______ round the earth.
A.had circled
B.was circling
C.might circle
D.were circling
A B C D
D
[解析] 该题是语法结构题,考查虚拟语气在as if引导的从句中的用法。 虚拟语气可以用在as if引导的方式状语从句中。如果从句中的动词与主句的动词同时发生,该动词用过去式,如:She loves the children as if they were her own. 她爱这些孩子,就好像他们是她亲生的一样。如果从句中的动词表示的动作先于主句的动词发生,该动词用had+动词过去分词,如:He talked about America as if he had been here.他谈起美国来就像他去过似的。如果从句中的动词表示的动作后于主句的动词发生,该动词用would/could+动词原形,如:The little girl looks as if she would cry. 小女孩看起来要哭了。题干中动词seem和circle是同时发生,所以选项A(表示circle先于seem发生)和选项C(表示circle后于seem发生)都是错误的。虚拟语气结构中的助动词应该是were而不是was,那么选项B也不能选用。因此,选项D为最佳答案。
33. A new laptop costs about ______ of a second-hand one.
A.the price of three times
B.three times the price
C.as much as the three times price
D.three times more than the price
A B C D
B
[解析] 考查比较结构 倍数可用以下三种结构表达:A new laptop is three times as expensive as a second-hand one. /A new laptop is twice more expensive than a second-hand one./A new laptop is three times the price of a second-hand one. 故选B。
34. The child blew up the balloon until it ______.
39. They failed six times but they have made their minds to try ______.
A.seven times
B.seventh time
C.a seventh time
D.the seventh time
A B C D
C
[解析] 该题是语法结构题,考查序数词的用法。 英语里序数词是用来表示人或事物次序的,序数词前面一般要用定冠词the,如the first day、the second house等,但是有时也用a(n),表示又一个或又一次等,如:I lost the first two games but I want to try a third game. 前两盘我输了,但是我想再试一盘。题干中的句子没有表达次序的意思,只是表示要再试一次,选项D可以排除。因此,选项C为最佳答案。
