Part Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure
Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
1.
Do not ______ me to help you unless you work harder.
A expect
B hope
C depend
D think
答案:A
[解析] 句意:除非你更努力学习,否则别指望我会帮助你。词语搭配题。此处后面跟的是不定式结构to help you,在四个选项中,只有expect一个选项在意思上与句意相符,且能构成expect sb. to do sth.的结构,因此本题选A。
2.
The question ______ now is where to build the new factory.
A discusses
B discussing
C be discussed
D being discussed
答案:D
[解析] 句意:现在正在讨论的问题是新工厂该建在哪里。现在分词。由句子结构可知,空格处属于句子的主语,且空格处内容是对The question的修饰,又由now一词可知,这里表示一个动作正在进行,由于问题是被讨论,需要使用被动语态,所以D是正确答案。
3.
John decided to ______ the present job in order to travel around the world.
A give up
B put up
C wake up
D break up
答案:A
[解析] 句意:为了去环球旅行,约翰决定放弃现在的工作。短语辨析。根据句意,约翰为了能去环球旅行,决定不再从事现在的工作,give up“放弃”符合句子意思,其他三个词组的意思均与句子意思不符,故A为正确选项。
4.
Michael"s new house looks like a palace, compared ______ his old one.
A of
B with
C for
D in
答案:B
[解析] 句意:和以前的老房子相比,麦克的新房子看起来就像是一座宫殿。动词搭配。本题考查动词compare的用法。compare with sb./sth.表示“和……相比”,故B为正确答案。
5.
Computer technology makes it ______ for people to work from home.
A harmful
B serious
C possible
D difficult
答案:C
[解析] 句意:电脑技术使得人们在家工作成为可能。形容词辨析。此处的形容词需要表达的意思是“可能的,可行的”,由此可知C为正确答案。harmful:有害的;serious:严重的;difficult:困难的;三个选项的意思都与句意不符,都可以排除。
6.
We are delighted at the news ______ they have started the business cooperation with your company.
A that
B when
C which
D what
答案:A
[解析] 句意:听到他们已经开始和贵公司进行商业合作的消息,我们很高兴。同位语从句。本题考查的是同位语从句。此处空格所引导的句子是news的同位语,也就是说空格所引导的是同位语从句,且在这个从句中关联词不充当句子成分,故本题选A。
7.
The computer program is designed for the ______ of easy online reading.
A experience
B purpose
C invitation
D decision
答案:B
[解析] 句意:这个电脑程序的设计目的是实现简便的在线阅读。固定搭配。for the purpose of是固定搭配,意为“为了……,目的是”。A、C、D三个选项都不能与for the...of构成符合句子意思的搭配,因此B为正确答案。
8.
The business talk ______ next week when the CEO of your company comes.
A was held
B is being held
C will be held
D has been held
答案:C
[解析] 句意:此次商业会谈将在下周贵公司的首席执行官抵达后举行。此处考查的是一般将来时的用法。句中有明显的时间状语next week,因此句中需要使用一般将来时,且主语business talk与谓语动词hold之间是被动关系,因此需要will be done的结构,故本题选C。
9.
It was so noisy that we found it hard to ______ the conversation.
A carry on
B set for
C turn on
D go against
答案:A
[解析] 句意:太吵了,我们发现很难再将谈话进行下去。句意推断。本句中so... that结构表示“如此……以至于”,根据本句的意思可知此处需要选择一个表示“进行”的短语,B、C、D的意思均不符合句意要求,可以排除,故A为正确答案。
10.
You cannot cancel your order ______ you change your mind within three days.
A as if
B while
C so that
D unless
答案:D
[解析] 句意:除非你在三天之内改变主意,否则订单将不能取消。连词辨析。本题考查的是双重否定的使用,主句中cannot为否定表达,故此处的条件状语从句中也需要表达相应的否定含义。A选项后面常跟虚拟语气,B选项后面常跟时间状语从句,C选项后常引导结果状语从句。unless意为“除非,若不”。
11.
The reason for my refusal is ______ you"re unreliable.
A because
B that
C due to
D for
答案:B
[解析] 句意:我拒绝的原因是你不可靠。本题考查表语从句。在复合句中做表语的从句叫作表语从句,它位于主句中的连系动词之后。可用从属连词that,whether,as if引导。虽然because有时也可以引导表语从句,但是当句子主语为reason时,从句只能用that来引导,所以本题应选B。
12.
______ to find the proper job, he decided to give up job-hunting in this city.
A Failed
B Being failed
C To fail
D Having failed
答案:D
[解析] 句意:由于找不到合适的工作,他决定放弃在这个城市里继续寻觅工作了。该题考查的是现在分词的完成式做原因状语的用法。该句的后半部分是一个完整的句子,与前半句之间无任何连词连接,因此可以判断:前半句为非谓语动词结构。fail的逻辑主语与主句主语he一致,且与he之间又是主谓关系,不能用被动语态,排除A和B;另外,逻辑上,找不到合适的工作是决定放弃找工作的原因,而非目的,所以排除C;时间上,应该是找不到合适工作之后决定放弃,所以应该用fail的现在分词完成式haring failed。
13.
If you don"t mind, I ______ do my homework than play cards with you.
A had better
B would rather
C prefer
D would like
答案:B
[解析] 句意:如果你不介意的话,我宁可做家庭作业,也不要和你打牌。本题考查词组语义辨析。“would rather...than...”意为“宁可(愿)……而不要(愿)……”,用以表达主观的意愿,强调经过选择后做一件事,而不愿做另一件事。had better表示“最好”,后跟动词原形,但不与than连用;prefer sth. to sth.表示“喜欢……而不喜欢……”;would like to do sth.表示“宁愿、愿意做某事”。
14.
No one, except his two best friends, ______ where he is.
A know
B to know
C knows
D knowing
答案:C
[解析] 句意:除了他两个最好的朋友,没有人知道他在哪儿。本题考查主谓一致。当主语部分为“主语+后置定语”时,谓语动词只看主语,不看后置定语部分。引起这种后置定语的单词有:with,along with,together with,as well as,except,besides等。由于本句主语为不定代词no one,所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,与主语保持一致。
15.
The condition being ______, he may succeed.
A favorite
B favorable
C favoring
D favored
答案:B
[解析] 句意:条件很有利,他可能会成功。本题考查形容词词义辨析。选项中的四个词都可做形容词用,但意思有所差别:favorite意为“特别喜爱的”;favorable意为“称赞的,有利的,有助于……的”;favoring只是favor的词形变化,意为“赞同,偏爱”;favored意为“受到宠爱的;得到偏爱的”,根据句意,可知B为正确选项。
16.
I haven"t decided which hotel ______.
A to stay
B is to stay at
C to stay at
D is for staying
答案:C
[解析] 句意:我还没有决定下榻哪家宾馆。此题考查疑问代词+不定式的用法,又因stay为不及物动词,需加介词at后才可跟宾语。
17.
Our teacher had us ______ a report on our investigation of the case.
A write
B to writing
C to write
D written
答案:A
[解析] 句意:我们老师要我们写一份案例调查报告。have somebody do something意为“让某人做某事”。
18.
Make a note of it ______ you should forget it.
A so
B to
C how
D lest
答案:D
[解析] 句意:把这件事记一下,免得你忘了。虚拟语气题。lest(以防,以免)后接从句,须用虚拟语气,谓语动词用should+动词原形,且should可省略。根据句意,应选D。
19.
Eggs, though good to health, have ______ of fat content.
A large number
B a large number
C a high number
D a high amount
答案:D
[解析] 句意:鸡蛋虽然对健康有好处,但是含有大量的脂肪。词语搭配题。fat content意为“脂肪含量”,为不可数名词,只有amount词组可以修饰不可数名词,所以排除A、B、C。
20.
Our main concern is to ______ the living standard of the people.
A raise
B rise
C arise
D arouse
答案:A
[解析] 句意:我们主要关注的是提高人民的生活水平。动词词义辨析题。raise:增加,提高(后可直接加宾语);rise:上升,达到较高的水平(不及物动词);arise:呈现,发生(不及物动词常与from连用);arouse:唤醒,激起。根据句意答案应选A。
21.
Think over our proposal and let me know whether you agree ______ it.
A for
B in
C with
D at
答案:C
[解析] 句意:认真考虑一下我们的建议,然后告诉我们你是否同意。词语搭配。agree with表示意见一致,后面一般接人或人称代词,也可接意见、看法等名词。agree不与介词for和at搭配;agree in意为“在……方面一致”。
22.
Could you please ______ why you can"t come to attend the meeting?
A explain
B understand
C give
D reach
答案:A
[解析] 句意:你能解释一下为什么不能来参加会议吗?动词词义辨析。explain:解释,说明;understand:懂得,明白,理解;give:送给,交给;reach:到达,抵达。根据句意,A项正确。
23.

A that
B how
C what
D which
答案:A
[解析] 句意:由肺癌导致的大部分死亡是由抽烟引起的,这是一个事实。同位语从句。分析句子结构可知,主句结构完整,所以横线后的句子应是一个做名词fact的同位语的从句,且从句不缺成分,只能用that,故本题选A。
24.
The manager"s reply ______ that he was not really interested in the project.
A offered
B showed
C advised
D described
答案:B
[解析] 句意:经理的回答表明他对这个项目并不是真正地感兴趣。动词词义辨析。offer:提供,提出;show:展示,显示,表明;advise:建议;describe:描述,描写。根据句意,本题应选B。

D before
答案:B
[解析] 句意:如果你不介意在巴黎转机的话,你今晚就可以飞往伦敦。条件状语从句。if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”,其余选项until(直到……为止)、where(表示地点)和before(在……之前)均不符合句意。
28.

A careful
B attractive

答案:C
[解析] 句意:员工被要求在会议开始前几分钟到达。动词时态。在时间、条件状语从句中,应用一般过去时代替过去将来时。故本题选C。
31.
John will go to school the moment he ______ his work.
A will finish
B finish
C finishes
D would finish
答案:C
[解析] 句意:约翰一完成工作就会去学校。本题考查谓语动词的时态。“the moment+从句”表示“一……就”。在表示时间或条件的状语从句中,用一般现在时代替一般将来时。因此本题应用谓语动词的一般现在时形式,又因为谓语动词的主语he是第三人称单数,因此选用谓语动词的单三形式(finishes)。
32.
The surgeon"s advice was that the patient ______ at once.
A to be operated on
B being operated on
C be operated on
D was operated on
答案:C
[解析] 句意:这个外科医生的建议是应立刻给病人做手术。本题考查虚拟语气。在advice后面的表语从句中,谓语动词要用虚拟语气即谓语用动词原形或should+动词原形。与advice此用法相同的还有demand,order,necessity,proposal,requirement,suggestion,idea,request,plan等。
33.

A too large a building that
B so a large building that
C such large a building that
D so large a building that
答案:D
[解析] 句意:这座公寓是如此之大,可以容纳一千名学生。本题考查so和such的用法。表示“如此……以至于……”时,可以用so+adj. +a/an+n. +that句型或such+a/an+adj. +n. +that句型。A项无此用法,B、C两项词序错误。因此只有D项合适。
34.

A does the manager make
B did the manager make
C the manager made
D the manager makes
答案:B
[解析] 句意:经理不但许下诺言,而且也信守诺言。本题考查倒装句。本句为“not only...but also”结构。Not only(不仅)放句首时,主句要用部分倒装形式,故将助动词did提至主语前。
35.
Even if he ______ here, he would not be able to help us.
A is
B were
C has been
D will be
答案:B
[解析] 句意:他即使在这里也不能帮助我们。此题考查虚拟语气。在even if/though引导的让步状语从句中,可用虚拟语气。主句、从句的结构与if所引导的条件从句结构相同。根据题意,本句是表示与现在事实相反的情况,主句用would do,从句应用一般过去时。因此选B。
36.
Mr. Herpin is one of the foreign experts who ______ in China.
A works
B is working
C are working
D has been working
答案:C
[解析] 句意:赫平先生是在中国工作的外国专家之一。本题考查主谓一致。句中who代指的是experts,故选C项。
37.
Encouragement is sometimes much more ______ than criticism.
A effective
B efficient
C executive

[解析] 句意:有时,鼓励比批评更有作用。本题考查形容词词义辨析。“effective”意为“有效的、有作用的”;“efficient”意为“有效率的”;“executive”意为“有执行权的、决策的”;“extensive”意为“大量的、广泛的”。因此本题应选A。
38.

A who is
B who am
C that is
D which am
答案:B
[解析] 句意:我,作为你的好朋友,会尽全力帮你走出困境。本题考查定语从句。一般地,定语从句中的谓语形式应与先行词保持一致,本句中先行词是I,所以后面应用who am;而C项不能引导非限制性定语从句,故选B项。
39.
He demanded that we explain what was happening, ______?
A hadn"t we
B didn"t we
C hadn"t he
D didn"t he
答案:D
[解析] 句意:他要求我们解释发生了什么事,不是吗?本题考查反意疑问句。题干前面部分的陈述句是主从复合句,附加疑问句一般应根据主句的谓语形式而定。肯定的He demanded后应与didn"t he相对应,故答案为D。
40.
He began to take politics ______ only when he left school.
A carefully
B seriously
C gravely
D severely

[解析] 句意:只有当他离开学校的时候,他才开始严肃地对待政治。本题为近形词辨析题。选项A意为“小心地”;选项B意为“严肃地”;选项C意为“严重地,庄严地”;选项D意为“严重地,苛刻地”。所以答案为B。
