Part Ⅱ Vocabulary & Structure Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct correct and meaningful sentences. It consists of 2 sections.

1. It suddenly ______ to me that somebody might be able to lend us the money.
A.came
B.turned
C.referred
D.occurred
A B C D
D
[考点] 固定用法 [解析] 我突然想到,有人可以借钱给我们。 It occurred to sb. that...表示“某人突然想到……”,故选D。 A项came可构成come to的搭配,表示状态的变化,且要求主语是人。如:I came to realize that his mistakes had something to do with me. (我突然意识到,他的错误和我有一定关系。);B项turned与to搭配,一般用在turn to sb. for help(向某人寻求帮助)的结构中。C项referred与to搭配,意为“查阅,提到,谈到”。
2. Who will be the new president? The ______ result will be broadcast tonight.
4. The newly built cafe, the walls of ______ are painted light green, is really a peaceful place for us, specially after hard work.
A.that
B.it
C.what
D.which
A B C D
D
[解析] 因为主语是cafe,定语从句的引导词不用能whose,只能用of which表示所有格。这个是非限定性定语从句,表示咖啡屋的墙。whose walls...=of which the walls...。本句意为:“那家新建的咖啡馆,墙涂成浅绿色的那家,真是个安静的地方,尤其是在辛苦工作之后。”
5. When I am away ______ business, I contact my office every day by e-mail.
10. If it had not rained yesterday, we could have had a picnic. But it ______ all day.
A.rains
B.is raining
C.rained
D.has rained
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题考查的是动词的时态。But后的句子是一个客观事实,表示过去的动作,所以用一般过去时。
Section B Directions: There are 5 incomplete statements' here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. Please remember (lock) ______ the door when you leave.
to lock。
[解析] 本题考查动词remember的用法。remember后既可跟动名词作宾语也可跟不定式作宾语。remember to do意为“记得要做……”,动作尚未发生;remember doing意为“记得做过……”,动作己发生过。句子意为:你离开时记得要锁门。动作尚未发生,应该用不定式。
2. I'll have to push the car to the side of the road because we (fine) ______ if we leave it here.
will be fined
[考点] 时态和被动语态 [解析] 在条件状语从句中,如果主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时替代一般将来时。句中的if条件句用一般现在时替代了一般将来时,故可判断主句应用一般将来时。此外,主语we与谓语fine之间是被动关系,故句子需用被动语态。综合以上分析,空格处应填入will be fined。
3. Unless he (tell) ______ us who he is, we won't let him in.
tells
4. Tom's success in his career will be a great (satisfy) ______ to his family.
5. Jane's parents insisted that she (return)______ home before eight o'clock.
