hardly, hard, hard hard, hardly, harder hard, hard, harder hardly, hardly, hard

A B C very demanding.

D A、 B、 C、 D、

carry on with although required demanding

答案与解析：A carry on意思是“继续?”，后面可以接动词的-ing形式或名词；carry on with后面只能接名词，比如：I decided to carry on with my course. （我决定继续修我的课程。）本句中with属多余。demanding意思是“苛刻的”。

a, it, the, the the, that, a, a a, it, this, a the, it, the, the

答案与解析：A p3/task 1 这句主要考查冠词和代词。名词第一次出现时前面要用不定冠词a或an，以后再提到这个词时要用定冠词the。Way后面有修饰成分“it is used”所以前面要用定冠词the。

9. He spent several days in the wind and snow, ______ and _______. A、 B、 C、 D、

coldly, hungrily cold, hungrily cold, hungry coldly, hungry

答案与解析：C 《张道真语法》307页 形容词可以直接做状语。coldly是副词，意思是“冷酷地、冷漠地”，例如：Janet looked at him coldly. Hungrily是副词，意为“贪婪地”。

答案与解析：C SB, Task 8, p 21 本题主要考查辨析句间逻辑关系的能力。意为：你可以通过大量练习来提高英语口语，但不能依靠英语为母语的人，因为生活中很难遇到讲英语的人，况且有时候他们也不愿被你利用”。

11. You may _____ a new word while reading if it does not hinder your understanding, but make sure you do not _____ those words which are very important. A、 B、 C、 D、

focus on, neglect ignore, focus on neglect, ignore ignore, neglect

答案与解析：D ignore和neglect都有“忽略”的意思，但ignore是“有意识”地“忽略”，而neglect则是“无意识”地“忽视、疏忽”。所以，整句的意思是：如果一个生词不妨碍理解，就可以忽略这个词的意思；但是一定不要忽视那些重要的词。

3. The news came as no surprise to me. I ______ for some time that the factory was going to shut down. A、 B、 C、 D、

had known knew have known know

had fallen asleep have fallen asleep fell asleep fall asleep

答案与解析：C 一般叙述过去发生的事，用一般过去时态即可。 5.

lit it up saw

C、 D、

getting out of a bunch

After being through the first degree, Janet went to Harvard to study for her master’s degree in

A B C D

education. A、 B、 C、 D、

being through went to Harvard study for master’s degree

答案与解析：A be through with sth. 是个词组，这里缺少了with这个介词，这个词组的意思是“完成”。study for是“攻读”的意思。全句的意思是：读完大学后，珍妮去哈佛读教育硕士。

8. - Sorry to have interrupted you. Please go on. - Where was I? - You _____ you didn’t like your father’s job. A、 B、 C、 D、

had said said were saying had been saying

答案与解析：C 这句可以根据Where was I? 得出应该是were saying. 从语法上说，“刚才讲到哪儿”是“过去正在讲到哪儿”的意思，所以用过去进行时态。 9.

The following sentence has four underlined parts marked with A, B, C, and D. Please choose the one that is not appropriately used.

Although he has lived with us for years, he did not left us much impression. A B C D A、

Although

B、 C、 D、

for years did not left much

答案与解析：C did not left改为has not left.现在完成时表示过去的事情对现在造成的影响和后果，而且考虑到although引导的分句是现在完成时，全句的时态要保持一致。整句的意思是：虽然他和我们在一起住了很多年，但他没给我们留下太多的印象。

10. I am not _______ to listen to all your weak excuses. A、 B、 C、 D、

adjusted prepared superior opposed

答案与解析：B be prepared to do sth. 在这里的意思是“愿意的”。adjust to，“调整使适应”; superior to，“比?更好”，后面接名词。be opposed to sth.表示反对某事,在这个句子里意思不合适。

11. I arrived late; I ________ the road to be so icy. A、 B、 C、 D、

wouldn’t expect haven’t expected hadn’t expected wasn’t expecting

答案与解析：C 这句考查的是过去完成时（Past Perfect Tense）的基本含义，即表示“过去的过去”。句中“没想到马路结冰”发生在“到达”之前，所以用过去完成时。Wouldn’t expect表示“过去的不期望”，比如I wouldn’t expect him to come to my birthday as we quarreled the day before. （我想他不会来我的生日聚会，因为我们前天吵架了。）

12. Has Sam finished his homework today? -I have no idea. He _________ it this morning. A、 B、 C、 D、

did has done was doing had done

答案与解析：C 从this morning来看，A和C都是可以的。但答语说：“我不知道。他今天早上还在做呢。”回答的人在看到Sam时，他还在做，所以回答的人不知道Sam是否已经做完作业。如果选A，意思就变成：“我不知道。他早上做（完）了。”所以C才是正确答案。意思是：-“Sam今天做完作业了吗？”-“我不知道。他早上还在做呢。”

13. I thought Jim would say something about his school report, but he ________it. A、 B、 C、 D、

doesn’t mention hadn’t mentioned didn’t mention hasn’t mentioned

答案与解析：C 本句是在叙述过去的事情，所以可排除A和D。B表示过去的过去，在没有时间状语提示的情况下，这也是不合适的。对于过去事实的叙述，C是最合适的，句子的意思是：我以为吉姆会谈到他的学校报告，但他没提这件事 14.

The following sentence has four underlined parts marked with A, B, C, and D. Please choose the one that is not appropriately used.

A B C D

technology. A、 B、 C、 D、

have greatly increased the early 1990s when had begun

答案与解析：D 应为began。When引导的是定语从句，修饰1990s。显然20世纪90年代是过去时间，此题叙述过去发生的事，用一般过去时即可，不用过去完成时。

15. Computer Graded Writing Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies _______ (1) computer programs. These can grade student writing much more quickly than a human can. Writing tests can also _______ (2) less to administer by computer than by paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-raters. They use artificial intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the state of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost ________ (3) between the computer grades and those given by the human readers. How do teachers feel about all this? Many say machines can _________ (4) do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a _________ (5) expressed idea. <1>、 A、 B、 C、 D、

developed have developed were developing are developing

答案与解析：B 这道题考查时态。由于电脑批改作文已经在使用，说明是现在已经实现的行为，所以用现在完成时。一般过去时只表示过去发生过，而不涉及现在。C是过去进行时态，从上下文来看，没有根据。查看全文发现，这种e-rater已经相对成熟，属于成型的程序，所以不能选D“正在开发”。 <2>、 A、 B、 C、 D、

spend take cost consume

答案与解析：C 本题考查词义的区别。Spend 一般是“人”做主语，而且后面常跟on sth./(in) doing sth.，表示花时间或者钱在某物上。Take一般以it作主语，常跟“时间”，较少表示“钱”。Consume表示“消耗”，比如人类消耗能源等。只有cost表示“花费的成本”，所以C最合适。 <3>、 A、 B、 C、 D、

similarity no similarity difference no difference

答案与解析：D 由前面的almost可以看出，similarity是不大合适的。因为前一句说的是印第安那州在全州范围使用电脑批阅作文之前首先检测这种批阅系统。因此，下一句应是对这种系统的肯定。所以选电脑阅卷和人工阅卷几乎“没有不同”。 <4>、 A、 B、 C、 D、

ever never also nearly

答案与解析：B 从本段的第四句看出，很多教师认为电脑批阅作文比不上人工批阅，所以空格处的词应该表现出这种否定的态度。这样就排除了A，C，D。 <5>、 A、 B、 C、 D、

beautifully beautiful beauty beautified

答案与解析：A 这里考查了与beautiful相关的词汇的用法。Expressed是idea的定语，而beautifully是修饰expressed的副词。其他词性均不符合要求。

(1)、(2)、(3)、(4)、(5)、

答案与解析：

1. sent for. Send for 的意思是“去找”，后面可以接sb.和sth.本句的意思是：紧急情况下，可能需要叫救护车。本句中在may be后面是被动语态因此要用sent for。后面接人的例句如：The refrigerator broke down again and so we sent for a mechanic to fix it.

2. blanks out. Blank out的本意是fade，即“逐渐消失”，常用于形容声音。全句的意思是：在电台节目开始时，音乐声渐渐变小，然后主持人开始说话。注意本句用第三人称单数的。

3. adjust to.这个词组的意思是“调节从而使适应”，中间可以接oneself/sth/sb.全句的意思是：有些大学生在毕业后的2至3个月内无法适应新工作。

4. are supposed to. be supposed to do sth的意思是“被期望或者（按规则/惯例/常理）应该做某事”。这个短语在口语里很常用。比如：You were supposed to submit your assignment last Friday, but you were one week late. 这句话应该理解为：“按照交作业的规定日期，你应该在上周五交作业，可是你晚了一个星期。”本句的意思是：在世界很多地方，男性通常应该给女性让路。

5. taking apart. take apart意为“拆开”。enjoy后面要接动名词。整句的意思是：有些孩子喜欢拆开收音机，去看看里面有什么。

单选题

1. We can’t go along here because the road is ______. A、 B、 C、 D、

been repaired being repaired repair repaired

答案与解析：B 这句考的是语态加时态。Road和repair是被动的关系，所以排除C和D。Been是完成时态中用的，前面应该是have/has, 所以可以排除A. Is being repaired是现在进行时的被动语态。句子意思是：这儿过不去，因为正在修路。

2. Some film stars _______ be difficult to work with. A、 B、 C、 D、

are said are said to say say to

答案与解析：B sb. be said to ? 是被动语态，常用于新闻报道，意思是“据说”。类似的结构还有 be expected to, be thought to, be reported to。这里to是不能省略的。 3.

4. It is _______ the government will spread the reform in the first half of this year, since the National People's Congress needs to review the issue in June. A、 B、 C、 D、

unlikely likely

more than likely as likely as not

答案与解析：A 本题出处： 整句的意思是：由于全国人大将在6月份审理改革的问题，所以政府不可能在今年上半年扩大改革。从逻辑关系可以看出应该选unlikely“不可能”。More than likely和(as) likely as not的意思都是“极有可能”。比如As likely as not, she will come tomorrow. It’s more than likely that she will come tomorrow.“她明天极有可能来。” 5.

A B C D A、

rescued

B、 C、 D、

by fire-fighters who

hundreds of calls

答案与解析：A 从by可以看出people和rescue之间是被动的关系，所以rescue应改为were rescued或者have been rescued。整句的意思是：许多人被消防员从洪水中营救出来，而消防员们接到上百个求救电话。 6.

The following sentence has four underlined parts marked with A, B, C, and D. Please choose the one that is not appropriately used.

We still had great fun while watching some good-looking birds calling “wild strangers”.

A B C D A、 B、 C、 D、

had while watching calling

答案与解析：D birds和call之间是“被称作”的被动关系，所以calling改为called.整句的意思是：我们仍然从观察一些漂亮的被称作“野外陌生来客”的鸟儿中得到很多乐趣。While后面接动词的ing形式，作状语。 7.

8. I’m going to go out and _________. A、 B、 C、 D、

have cut my hair have my hair cut let my hair cut my hair be cut

答案与解析：B 本句考查含有have sth done的被动结构，have后面的宾语和这个宾语后面的动词是被动关系。而let sth do里面sth和do是主动关系，在本题中不合逻辑。 9.

A B C

D for young people. A、 B、 C、 D、

During vacations

special activities held

答案与解析：D 整句的主语是many special activities such as?，held是谓语。但held和主语activities应该是被动的关系，所以谓语应是are held。 10.

As a language changes with time, a good dictionary needs be changed about every ten years.

A B C D A、 B、 C、 D、

As with time be changed every ten years

答案与解析：C 在这里need由于有形式变化（加了s），所以用作一般动词，而非情态动词，因此后面跟动词时要加to.应改为needs to be changed. 整句的意思是：由于语言随时间变化，所以好字典应该每十年做一版改动。
