II. 语法(每小题1分，共25分)
题21：答案是D。考核点是反意疑问句。因为句子前半部分是肯定形式：The news … discouraged him (that they failed their driving test是the news的同位语从句)，而主语是the
news (单数)，所以，选D (didn't it?)。
题22：答案是B。考核点是动词结构和语序，具体涉及like to do sth.和play…with sb.的用法，以及副词anyway在句子中的位置问题。如果熟悉动词like和play的上述用法，一般不会选错。
题23：答案是A。考核点是情态动词could的用法。对过去发生的动作或存在的状态的肯定猜测一般用：must
(should, might, could) + have + done。这种结构里的must意为"一定"，should意为"应该"，而might,
could的意思是"可能"，说话的语气要比must和should都弱得多。但对过去发生的动作或存在的状态的否定猜测，一般用：couldn't (might not) + have + done。例如：The
music must have been composed by Chopin. (肯定猜测) (这首曲子一定是由肖邦创作的)。试比较：He could not have heard us. Knock
again. (否定猜测) (他不可能已经听到我们的声音，再敲一下。)
题24：答案是B。考核点是：not …until的用法。"not + 短暂性动词 + until"，表示"直到……才(开始)……"。"not + 持续性动词 + until"，表示"……状态到……才(结束)……"。本句的大意是：我叔叔直到45岁才结婚。相信同学们对这一结构是比较熟悉的。
题25：答案是C。考核点是倒装结构。在英语里，如果否定词或含有否定意义的副词(如not, never, little, seldom, rarely, hardly等) 放在句首，要部分倒装。例如：Hardly any sound could we
hear. (我们几乎听不到什么声音。) Not a single mistake did he make
in the test. (测验中他一个错误也没有犯。)
题26：答案是C。考核点是主谓一致。分数后接of + 名词做主语的时候，如果of后跟的是单数可数名词，或者不可数名词，动词要用单数形式；如果分数后接of + 复数名词，动词要用复数形式。例如：Four fifths of money
has been spent.(五分之四的钱已经被花掉了)(of + 不可数名词money，动词用单数形式)。Two
thirds of the teachers in this school have been abroad. 这个学校三分之二的老师出过国 (of +复数名词，动词用复数形式)。本句的分数 (Two fifths) +of + 不可数名词 (the land)，所以动词用单数形式 (is)。
题27：答案是A。考核点是从句(主语从句和表语从句)。本句中的what既充当主语从句的引导词，又充当主语从句中动词understand的宾语，why引导表语从句。本句的大意是：她所不能理解的(事情)是：为什么对她上的课感兴趣的学生越来越少。
题28：答案是B。考核点是定语从句。根据定语从句的常识，可以排除C和D；但在定语从句中，充当名词修饰语的关系代词有两个：which和whose，但这两个关系代词的用法和结构是不同的。先行词是人的时候，要用"whose + 名词"做定语从句的主语或宾语；先行词是物的时候，可以用"whose + 名词"，也可以用"名词 + of which"。[注意，在非限制性定语从句中，of which (of whom) 常用于基数词或some，most，all，none，either，neither等词语之后，而不用whose。例如：The hero whose left leg he lost in
the war is well looked after. (在战争中失去左腿的英雄受到了很好的照顾。)
(whose left leg是lost的宾语)。On the hill were maple trees the leaves of which(也可用whose leaves) had turned red. (山上长满了枫树，树叶都红了。) These books, two of which I have read, are interesting. (这些书很有趣，我读过两本。) 所以本句的正确答案是B (the price of which)，但也用whose price。
题29：答案是D。考核点是宾语从句。宾语从句要用陈述语序(只有疑问词提前)。
题30：答案是A。考核点是地点状语从句。本句中的where相当于in the place where。where的这种用法也是很通常的，例如：we should go where (= go
to the place where) we are most needed by the motherland.(我们应该到祖国最需要的地方去。) This is where I live. (我就住在这里。) 本句的大意是：她的计算器在丢掉的地方(原地)找到了。
题31：答案是B。考核点是现在分词。本句中的现在分词hoping做伴随状语，表示伴随状态，其作用相当于and连接的并列句：He sent me an e-mail and hoped to get further information. 其实，本句也可以说：He sent me an e-mail to get further information. (to引导的不定式短语做目的状语。) 但不可以用to hope to get…。
题32：答案是C。考核点是宾语从句。that引导的从句做介词except的宾语。因为所要填的空格后跟的是一个句子，而A，B，D都是介词(词组)，只能选C。
题33：答案是A。考核点是表语。本句如果没有副词词组far from (远离，离开……还很远)，一般不会错选，因为主语是一个表示"物"的从句(我已经做了的事情)，很显然是A (satisfactory：令人满意的)，而不会选择B (satisfied)，更不会去选不合语法的名词satisfaction (C)，或动词satisfy (D)。
题34：答案是B。考核点是副词比较级。本句的说话人认为，听话人站得离照相机太近，要他离开照相机远一些，包含了同听话人现在的位置进行比较的意味，所以要用比较级，而副词或形容词的比较级可以由a little，a bit，much等修饰，但不能用a bit of来修饰。所以B上正确答案了。
题35：答案是D。考核点是同位语和定语从句。A和C是明显错误，可以先排除。非限制性定语从句，不能由that引导，B也可以排除。就只剩下D
(the largest) 是正确答案了。the largest island in the world做Greenland的同位语。
题36：答案是C。考核点是虚拟语气。本句是错综虚拟句。if引导的状语从句指的是与过去相反的情况(他以前没有遵医嘱)，而主句指的是于现在相反的情况。本句的大意是：要是以前他遵照医生的嘱咐，静静地躺着，他现在就不会这样痛苦了。
题37：答案是C。考核点是非谓语动词(分词做状语)。分词(现在分词和过去分词)做状语的时候，其逻辑主语必须是主句的主语。因为本主句的主语是Harvard(哈佛大学)，所以"建立、创建"(found)要用过去分词founded。
题38：答案是B。考核点是强调手段。do (过去式用did) 直接放在动词前表示强调。这是常用的强调手段。
题39：答案是A。考核点是非谓语动词(分词做定语和宾语补足语)。放在名词前做定语要用missing，不用missed。动词see是被动语态，从语法上将，后面要跟to do或doing做宾补，不能跟不带to的不定式(bare infinitive)，虽然跟to do和doing的意思是不同的。更不能后接played做宾补。所以正确答案就是A了。
题40：答案是D。考核点是：非谓语动词(动名词的否定形式)和被动语态。本句的主语是Tony，动名词结构中的动词invite与之的关系是被动关系，所以要用被动语态，排除了B和C；因为动名词与现在分词一样，其否定的形式是直接在动名词前加not，所以正确答案是D (not having been invited)。
题41：答案是A。考核点是：别人提供帮助时的恰当回答。别人向你主动提供帮助，不管接受或拒绝帮助，都应该对对方表示感谢。
题42：答案是B。考核点是：对别人对自己的赞扬的恰当回答。选C根本不相关；选D十分不礼貌；A是典型的中国式回答，不是英语的通常应对。在英语里，受到赞扬，要对对方的赞扬表示肯定，或对对方表示感谢或赞同，或表示高兴，这些都是受到赞扬的一般应对。
题43：答案是A。考核点是：对方征求意见时的应答。Do you mind是英语中常用来征求对方意见的表达法，要注意mind (介意)这个动词。回答说yes，就是"介意"，也就是"不同意"、"不允许"；回答说No，或者Not at all，就是"不介意"，就是"同意"或"允许"B和D的回答自相矛盾：B既然说of course not (当然不介意)，后面又说"这里是不允许的"。D先说"不介意"，后又说"你不能(在这幢大楼里养宠物)"。C没有对do you mind作出回答。而A表示"反对"的婉转说法。
题44：答案是D。考核点是：对请求的反应。说话人身上没有带零钱，请你代他付车费，回答说"No problem"(没有问题)是恰当的。
题45：答案是D。考核点是：表示"不同意"的一般应对用语。本对话是在警察和违反交通规则的驾车者之间进行。驾车者违反了交通规则，在单行道上逆向行驶，说是因为不知道这是单行道，警察不接受他的理由。这时，Sorry, but…是常用的表达法。
III. 词汇(每小题1分，共15分)
题46：答案是D。example意为"例子"；sign意为"符号"；mark意为"标记"；symbol意为"象征(物)"例如：Red is the symbol of revolution. (红色是革命的象征。) 本句的大意是：人们认为狮子是森林之王，因为它是勇武和权力的象征。
题47：答案是A。victim意为"受害者"。根据其修饰语of the earthquake (地震)这个词组，可以确定，所要填的是A。the victims of the earthquake的意思是"地震灾民"。
题48：答案是C。room作可数名词是"房间"，但作不可数名词解时是"机会、余地、空地方"。例如：There is much room for improvement in our work.(我们的工作有大有改进的余地。)常用词组"make room for sb. (sth.)"就是"让出空地方给某人(某物)"的意思。本句中的room就是不可数名词，大意是：如果你不把你的东西都拿走的话，我的文具就没有(空)地方放了。area (地区)、place (地点、地方)、surface
(表面)，都不适合。49：答案是A。results (D：结果)没有修饰语，可以先排除。awards (C)是指因为竞赛获胜、工作成绩卓著而获得的"奖赏"、"奖品"或"荣誉称号"。prizes
(B)是指竞赛、竞争或抽彩中获胜者所得到的"奖赏"或"奖品"，可以引申为指：为之奋斗或争夺的目标。而reward (A)是特指因为作出了牺牲或做了好事后得到的报偿。本句的大意是：人们普遍认为，婴儿之所以学会做事是因为某些行为会得到赞赏。50：答案是D。appreciation意为"欣赏"、"赏识"，是指充分理解后的赞美，或以热情赞同、衷心欣赏、真诚感谢来作出某种反映。相应的动词是appreciate，appreciate这个意思，在日常生活中也是很常用的，例如：He would be much appreciate it if you could do him that favour. (如果你能帮他这个忙，他将十分感激。) 本句的大意是：对他的周到安排，我写了一封信以示感激。51：答案是C。sight (A)意为"情景"、"奇观"，用复数形式，意为"名胜"，"风景"，强调看到处于视野以内或为视力可及的东西。例如：see the sights
of the West Lake (游览西湖风景)。scene(B)意为"景象"、"风光"，例如：scenes of a mountain district (山区风光)。look (D)指用眼睛朝某物看一眼，也可指看见后产生的印象，例如：the look of his face as he spoke was by no means pleasant. (他讲话时的脸色真使人不快)。views意为"视野"，指用特殊的方式观看事物或有目的地进行观察；(从特定的处所看到的)景色，例如：the view from the top of a church
tower (从教堂塔楼顶看出去的景色)；a room
with a view (看出去景色美丽的房间)。本句的大意是：住在高层顶楼的其中一个好处是视野很广阔。52：答案是B。spare意为"抽出时间"；haven't
(even) a minute to spare相当于have no time to spare，是固定表达法，意思是：抽不出时间。
53：答案是A。B (spends)和D (provides)不符合动词用法：spend (time, money) on
sth，(或(in) doing sth.)，provide sb. with sth. (或provide sth. for
sb.)，因此可以先排除。offers (主动提供)意思不符。devote (time, effort, one's life, etc.) to sth. (sb.)，或者devote oneself to sth. (sb.)，意为"把……奉献给"、"把……专用于"。本句的大意是：这位母亲虽然工作很忙，但还是把大部分时间都花在子女身上。
54：答案是B。搭配问题。可以说：Their eyes
met.(他们眼光相遇了。)，通常不说meet one's
eye。通常说：draw (attract) one's attention (吸引某人的注意力)，不说：draw (attract one's eye。catch sb's eye就是"引某人注目"的意思。所以B是正确答案。55：答案是A。individual (D)意为"个别的"、"个体的"，与"集体的"(collective)相对；指一群中的个体，暗示不能分割。single (C)意为"单个的"，指只有一个，暗示不和其他相伴、相关或相组合，侧重于"单独"的含义。表示"个人意见"时，personal opinion和private opinion都是可以的，但前者要比后者常用。56：答案是B。C和D明显不符合句意：friendly (C)意为"友好地"；comfortably (D)意为"舒服地"。silently
(A：默默地)不及tenderly (B：温柔地、轻轻地)恰当。57：答案是B。本句的前半句说：Fred的数学在我们班级里是无人匹敌的(second to none：独一无二的)，下半句用but一转折，还用了"believe
it or not"(信不信由你)这个词组，可见，他期末(数学)考试通常是不及格的，所以选含有否定意义的hardly。58：答案是C。本句是一个"打比方"的手法，前半句是打比方，后半句才是本句的中心。所以选连接副词similarly (相似地)。本句的大意是：我们是通过体育锻炼来增加体质。同理，我们要通过学习来发展智力。59：答案是D。本句的前半句说：他在公司里占据重要的地位；后半句说：我不大信任他。两者之间用含有转折意味的连接副词nevertheless (然而)，才使语句符合逻辑。thus (A) (因此)、furthermore
(B) (而且)、和otherwise (C) (否则)，这三个选项都不恰当。60：答案是C。本句的考核点是词组动词，即"动词 + 介副词"来充当动词功能的词组。look up (A)意为"抬头看"；作"查阅"解时，用look (a word等) up in + 词典等参考书。thought about (B)意为"思考某事"；gone round (D) 意为"分发"；都不符合本句意思。gone over (C)是"仔细检查"、"温习"的意思
