答案与详解
Section A
16. 答案: C
【译文】 吵醒我的是隔壁房间里传来的一声尖叫声。
【分析】 测试点是名词从句中的引导词。四个选项都可引导主语从句。但C) “what” 是连接代词,在从句中作主语,是正确答案。A)“how”是连接副词,在从句只能作状语;B)“that” 只能充当连接词,不作任何成分;D)“which”表示“哪一个”,虽可作主语,但意义不正确。所以只有C)项正确。
17. 答案: A
【译文】老板对约翰的报告并不满意,所以要他彻底重写。
【分析】测试点是非谓语动词。A)“Not being satisfied”是现在分词短语,与“with”连用,表示“对......感到满意”,符合题意,是正确答案。B)C)和D)项均不能与“with”连用。
18. 答案: B
【译文】我认为你讲的太多了。现在你需要做的是多一些行动少一些大话。
【分析】测试点是形容词的用法。句中“talk”是不可数名词,故A)、C)两项可排除;B)“less”是“little”的比较级,表示“更少”,与前面的“more”形成对照,所以是正确答案。
19. 答案: C
【译文】如果有更多时间,科学家们将能够找出一个好办法解决问题。
【分析】测试点是非谓语动词。C)“Given”与后面的“more time”构成过去分词短语,在句中作状语,表示被动,其逻辑主语“scientists”表示承受者。因而为正确答案,如: Given more time, I think, we will be able to finish the project better.(如果有更多的时间话,我想我们能将工程做得更好。)其它三项均不合题意。
20. 答案: B
【译文】他们一收割完小麦就开始下雨了。
【分析】测试点是倒装句的用法。“No sooner ... than” 意指“一......就......”。 “No sooner”放在句首时,主句的主谓要倒装,而且谓语动词要用过去完成时。因此只有B)项正确,如: No sooner had they run out of the house than it collapsed. (他们刚跑出来,房子就倒了。)
21. 答案: D
【译文】直到你给警察打电话他们才知道此案。
【分析】测试点是词的用法。D)“until”与“not”连用,表示“直到......才”,而“nothing”含有否定意义。故D项为正确答案: ,如: “He didn’t come back until 11 o’clock at night.”(他直到晚上11点才回来。) 其它三项均不符合题意。
22. 答案: A
【译文】这是我第一次与老外用英语交谈。
【分析】测试点为固定结构的用法。“... be the first time somebody do something...”为固定结构。根据主句中的“was”,从句中谓语动词应选spoke以保持时态一致,如: It will be the first time I visit the Great Wall.(那将是我第一次参观长城。) 因此A)项正确。其它三项不合题意。
23. 答案: D
【译文】他们关上城里的房子,到乡下去度暑假。
【分析】测试点为词组的用法。D)“up”与 “shut”连用,表示“关闭(房门等);停止经营等”,如: Shut up the house when going out.(出门的时候关上房门。) A)“ down” 与“shut”连用,表示“停止经营;关闭(商店或工厂等)”,不合题意;B)“off”与“shut” 连用, 意为“关掉(电源、水龙头等);切断(供应)”,不符合题意;C)“in”与“shut”连用,意指“把......关进去”,如: He shut himself in the dark room to cry.(他把自己关在黑暗的房间里哭泣。) 不符合题意。 因此只有D项正确。
24. 答案: A
【译文】会讲外语会非常有利,尤其是你在做生意时。
【分析】测试点为词组的用法。A)“in”与 “business”连用,意指“从事商业”,故为正确答案。B)“on”与“business”连用,表示“因事,因公(出差)”,如: He often goes to Shanghai on business.(他经常出差到上海。) 不符合题意。其他两项均不可与“business”连用。
25. 答案: C
【译文】我们希望到年底之前已完成了工作。
【分析】测试点是时态的用法。原句中主句用了过去时,从句理所当然要用与过去有关的时态,因而可先排除D项;C)“would have finished” 与词组“by the end of the year(到今年年末为止)”一致;A)“had finished”只能表示已经过去的事情,所以不可与“by the end of the year ”连用;B)“finished”也不可以与“by the end of the year”连用。因此,只有C项正确。
Section B
26. shortage 27. joined 28. making 29. being operated 30. satisfactory/satisfying
31. understood 32. plentiful 33. tourist 34. had increased/was increasing 35. refuse
