A.Both the ideas are creative.
B.This idea is less creative than that one.
C.Both the ideas aren’t creative.
D.This idea is as creative as that one.

A.an adverbial clause
B.a subject clause
C.a predicative clause

3. Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?
A.I suppose he ought to have known that, don’t I?
B.He seldom gives his wife a gift, does he?
C.There won’t be any trouble, will there?
D.No one would object, would they?
正确答案:A
解析:考查反意疑问句。当陈述部分为I suppose/think/believe/guess…后接宾语从句时,疑问部分要以从句为依据,因此A错误,应改为oughtn’t he?B中seldom为否定词,因此疑问部分用肯定形式;there be句型的反意疑问句主语仍用there,C正确;当陈述部分的主语为no one,none,nobody,anybody,anyone时,疑问部分的主语都用they,D也正确。 知识模块:语法与词汇
4. It was as a doctor that she introduced herself, and _______she got a VIP card.
A.so that
B.as such
C.as that
D.such as
正确答案:B
解析:该题前半句是一个强调句,as a doctor为强调部分,正常语序是she introduced herself as a doctor。这里应选用固定短语as such,在本句中表示“作为一个……”、“以……身份”。so that一般用来引导目的或结果状语从句,表示“以便”、“因此”;such as意为“诸如…这类的,例如”,表举例;as that不是固定搭配,用在此处语意不通。 知识模块:语法与词汇
5. _______her notable wealth, she still keeps working hard and never relaxes her efforts.
A.Instead of
B.For all
C.While
D.As long as
正确答案:B
解析:此题考查让步状语引导词。for all后接名词时,可以引导让步状语,表示“尽管”,符合本题句意,为正确答案。根据空格后名词notable wealth可首先排除C、D,因为while和as long as其后通常接完整的句子。但while也可用于让步状语,表示“尽管”。 知识模块:语法与词汇
6. Tom says he won’t forget the day_______ we worked together and the day _______ we spent together.
A.when; which
B.what; that
C.which; when
D.on which; when
正确答案:A
解析:两个先行词the day都是表示时间的名词,但第一个空白处要填的关系词在从句中作状语,因此要用关系副词when。第二个空白处要填的关系词在从句中作动词spent的宾语,因此要用关系代词which或that来引导定语从句。答案为A。 知识模块:语法与词汇
7. _______ a strong suspicion against the clues provided, the court didn’t announce the verdict.
A.There was
B.Since
C.Being
D.There being
正确答案:D
解析:主格结构的运用。由于本题前后两个句子的主语不一样,因此要使用主格结构,作原因状语,相当于As there was…,因此D为正确答案。A项there Was使得前后两句变成完整的句子,而题干句子由逗号连接,中间没有连词,因此不正确。B项since作表因果关系的连接词时,要引导原因状语从句,而本题前面部分是一个名词词组,不构成句子,故不正确。C项being因逻辑主语与句中的主语不一致,也排除。 知识模块:语法与词汇
8. Returning to my apartment, _______.
A.my watch was missing
B.I found my watch disappeared
C.I found my watch missing
D.the watch was missed
正确答案:C
解析:当-ing分词与-ed分词作状语时,分词的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语,returning的逻辑主语是人,因此排除A、D。disappear为不及物动词,没有过去分词的形式,B排除。C中missing为形容词,作my watch的补足语,意为“下落不明的,不见了的”,正确选项为C。 知识模块:语法与词汇
9. I think_______ we stop worrying so much, because worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens.
A.that it important
B.that important
C.it important that
D.it important what
正确答案:C
解析:考查it的用法。it在这里作动词think的形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的从句we stop worrying so much,从句前用that连接,因此答案为C。形容词important作it的补语。 知识模块:语法与词汇
10. The students _______ busily when Miss Brown went to get a book she _______ in the office.
A.were writing; has left
B.had written; left
C.were writing; had left
D.had written; had left
正确答案:C
解析:考查时态。“把书忘在办公室”发生在“去取书”这一过去的动作之前,因此要用过去完成时。句中when表示某一时间点,某人在某一时间点做某事,用过去进行时。因此主句应该用过去进行时。故答案为C。 知识模块:语法与词汇
11. The Olympic Games _______in 776 B.C. in Olympia, a small town in Greece.
A.descended
B.stemmed
C.originated

D.derived“追溯……起源”,后跟介词from。例如:We can derive English“chauffeur”from French.我们可以把英语中“chauffeur”一词追溯到法语。 知识模块:语法与词汇

A.vanish
B.disappear
C.fade
D.evaporate
正确答案:C
解析:由于双方都不愿意妥协,快速解决争端的机会正开始消失。A.vanish语气强,指完全、往往是神秘而突然的消失,不留任何蛛丝马迹,例如:With a wave of his hand,the magician made the rabbit vanish.魔术师手一挥兔子便不见了。
B.disappear普通用词,强调从视线或脑海中消失,这消失可能是暂时的、突然的或永久的,视上下文而定,例如:A ship disappeared below the horizon.船消失在地平线下。
C.fade又作fade away,侧重逐渐消失,例如:The noise faded away.噪音渐渐消失。
D.evaporate指“蒸发”,例如:The water soon evaporated in the sunshine.水在阳光下不久就蒸发了。注:只有C的含义包含一个缓慢的过程,用C合适。 知识模块:语法与词汇

B.You’d better go to meet him than wait here for him.
C.It’s better to say too little than to say too much.
D.Even lazy people would rather work than to starve.
正确答案:D
解析:考查as和than之后的不定式的使用。as和than表示两者之间的比较时,若前面比较的动词带有不定式to。as和than后面的不定式有或没有to均可,如:It’s easier to read English than (to)speak it.故A、C正确。但若前面比较的动词没有带to,后面也不可有to,因此D不正确,应该将to去掉。B项虽也有to,但比较的对象是动作go,而不是to meet。 知识模块:语法与词汇
22. Which of the following underlined phrases indicates “purpose”?
A.Watching TV too much is bad for your health.
B.The medicine is for reducing your temperature.
C.Thank you for helping me with my English.
D.I usually do the running for an hour in the morning.

23. _______of danger in the street at night, she had to go home, with a friend_______ her.
A.Warned, accompany
B.Warning, accompanying
C.Having warned, accompanied
D.Having been warned, accompanying
正确答案:D
解析:考查过去分词与现在分词用法。主句的主语是she,与warn存在被动关系,且warn这个动作发生在had to go之前,所以一定是having been done结构。第二个空应该填入现在分词与a friend构成主格结构,因此答案为D。 知识模块:语法与词汇
24. Lightly _______into the meeting room.
A.the lady walked
B.walked the lady
C.did the lady walked
D.walks the lady
正确答案:A
解析:考查句序。当方式状语、频度状语等移至句首时,有时引起局部倒装。当然,方式状语移至句首时也可不倒装。因此选项要么就部分倒装,要么就不用倒装。选项B和D是完全倒装,所以不正确。选项C中动词walked形式错了,应该是动词原形walk。因此,正确答案应为A项the lady walked。 知识模块:语法与词汇
25. An unlimited arms race _______well increase the danger of war.
A.may
B.can
C.must
D.will
正确答案:A
