试题答案与解析

1． A)【句意】他尽管学识渊博，但始终很谦逊。

【难点】句型“for all +one’s+名词或从句”以及“with all (one’s+名词或从句)”为习惯性用语，常用来表示让步状语， for all或with all 相当于in spite of all，意为“尽管，虽然”。

2． D)【句意】他的诚实是无可怀疑的，没有人能怀疑这一点。

【难点】without question 意为“无可怀疑的”。in question 意为“在考虑中的，在议论中的”。out of question 意为“不成问题”。beside the question 无此搭配。

3． A)【句意】烹饪一道好菜时，必须考虑使用这种调料。

【难点】由时间状语中的a delicious dish 可以看出，此句意在说明一个普遍的事实，而不是特指烹饪某一道菜，所以无须使用过去时，而只需使用表示普遍情况的一般时。

4． B)【句意】直到他开始以钓鱼为乐，他才开始得到了轻松的休息。

【难点】此句为强调句，所强调的时间状语从句部分的动作几乎和主句的动作同时发生，时间状语从句的谓语动词为过去时，因而主句的谓语动词采用过去时便可。

5． D)【句意】不仅你，我也在这点上犯了错误。

【难点】按照英语语法，由not only…but also构成的主语，其谓语动词应按照就近关系，因此此句只能选择D)。

6． D)【句意】二十镑足够这样一个贫困的家庭花一个月了。

【难点】表示时间度量等复数名词作主语时，常常作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数。7． C)【句意】校长与系主任正打算召开一次会议，以制定一系列规章制度。

【难点】由“together with (as well as, but, including) +名词”构成的介词短语来修饰主语的句子，其谓语动词必须与主语保持一致，而无须考虑以上介词的宾语的单复数形式。

8．A)【句意】许多人站在百货大楼的门前。

【难点】many a +可数名词的单数形式意为“许多…”，后面的谓语动词必须使用单数形式。

9． D)【句意】“我按时到了办公室。”“假如你的车坏了会怎么样?”

【难点】what if 意为“倘使…将会怎样”，由其构成的虚拟条件句通常用过去时表示将来，用过去完成时表示过去时，本句意在表达与过去事实相反，所以条件句子中谓语动词必须采用D)。

10． D)【句意】如果那时天气更好一点的话，现在庄稼长得会更好。

【难点】此句为一错综时间条件句。本句中的从句表达与过去事实相反的一个假设，按照常规虚拟语气句的要求，主句中的谓语动词应为would have grown，表达与过去事实相反；但主句实际要表达的是与现在事实相反，所以谓语动词应为would be growing。

11． D)【句意】在冷冻法发明前，鱼和肉的保存是个棘手的问题。

【难点】preservation 意为“保存，防腐”；keeping 意为“保存；保留”，maintaining 意为“维持；保持；使继续；”protection意为“保护，防护”。

12． B)【句意】有东西突然一动，引起了小马的注意，他立刻警觉起来，变得多疑。

【难点】suspicious 意为“猜疑的，多疑的”，后接of， about ;doubtful 意为“不确知的；怀疑的”，常与about 和of连用； suspecting和hesitating是现在分词，不合本句句意。

13． B)【句意】学生实习当老师的第一年，常常参观当地学校，观察课是怎么上的。

【难点】observation意为“观察；监视”；investigation 意为“调查，调查研究”；inspection 意为“检阅，检查”；observance意为“观察，注意”，不常用。

14． D)【句意】我很高兴你同意调查这件事。

【难点】look into 意为“调查”；look up 意为“(在词典，参考书中）查找”； look for 意为“寻找”；look over 意为“查看，参观”。

15． B)【句意】由于医院停电，那位外科医生不得不取消手术。

【难点】call off 意为“取消”；call for 意为“需要，需求”；call on 意为“号召，呼吁”；call out 意为“召唤…行动”。

16． D)【句意】从古代起，尼罗河谷就被泛滥的河水变成一片沃土。

【难点】fertile 意为“肥沃的，富饶的”；famous 意为“出名的”；deserted 意为“无人居住的，荒废的”；attractive意为“有吸引力的”。

17． A)【句意】经理根据她说的话作了个有远见的决定。

【难点】in the light of 意为“根据”；in the course of 意为“在…期间，在…过程中”；in favor of 意为“赞同，支持”；in the face of意为“在…面前，面对…”。

18． D)【句意】每户每月只有权买五磅肉。

【难点】entitle 意为“把权利给某人”，常用被动语态，后接动词不定式或to+动名词；avail 意为“有助于，有用于”；allocate 意为“分配，分派”；endow 意为“赋予；资助，向…捐钱”，后接with。

19． D)【句意】我们搜集到的有关那个案件的所有信息几乎不起任何作用。

【难点】add up to意为“总计，共达”，add up to very little 意为“几乎不起作用”；come up to 意为“等于，比得上；达到（标准等）”；make up for 意为“补偿；弥补”；stand up for 意为“支持”。

20． B)【句意】经理对增产感到很满意。

【难点】output 意为“产量”；outcome意为“结果；成果”；outset 意为“开始，起初”；outlet 意为“发泄（情感），销路，出口”。
