九、其他（本⼤题共1⼩题，共1.0分）

61.Of the three students，Bill did______．（ bad ）

答案和解析

1.【答案】C

【解析】

答案：C．考查疑问词组．句意"--这座桥是钢材造的．它多重？--⼤约90000吨．"．how heavy多重．how long多久，对⼀段时间或长度提问．how much多少，修饰不可数名词．how far多远，对距离提问．根据回答"⼤约90000吨"，

可知应该是对重量提问．how heavy多重，但是原句中有weigh重量，重复了．因此A不正确．how much does it weigh？它多重，这⾥表⽰重量是不可数，因此答案是C．

--这座桥是钢材造的．它多重？

--⼤约90000吨．

疑问词组通常⽤来构成疑问句，要根据回答的具体内容进⾏选择，注意⼀些

固定搭配，分清疑问词的⽤法．

2.【答案】D

【解析】

答案D．

题中时间状语是tomorrow，说明动作还没有发⽣，是⼀般将来时态．本题考

察的是if引导的条件状语从句的时态问题．if从句⽤⼀般现在时，主句⽤⼀般将来时．故选D．

如果明天不下⾬，我们将会去个园旅⾏．

考⽣看到if引导的句⼦就应该明⽩本题考察if引导的条件状语从句，注意时态搭配．

3.【答案】B

【解析】

答案：B．考查冠词．句意"电脑是我们⽇常⽣活中⼀个有⽤的⼯具．"．这⾥泛指⼀个有⽤的⼯具，不⽤the，useful是以辅⾳⾳素开头的，因此⽤a修饰．答案是B．电脑是我们⽇常⽣活中⼀个有⽤的⼯具．
