答案:

LANGUAGE USAGE

1、D

[解析] 考查情态动词的用法。本题解题的关键在于主句谓语中有well这个副词，否则B、C都说得通，但也正因如此，做题时也可确定排除它们。may/might

well为固定搭配，表示“很可能”，因此答案为D。

2、B

[考点] 考查词组词义辨析。

3、C

[考点] 考查动词词义辨析。

4、D

“old，young，poor，rich”等形容词加上定冠词，表示一类人，作句子主语时，谓语动词通常用复数形式。

5、A

[解析] 这里他对电脑游戏不仅仅是参与，而是一种放纵，从词义上来讲indulgence显然更合适。

6、A

[解析] 考查分词短语作伴随状语。my footsteps与echo的关系是主动的，因此用现在分词。另外，现在分词作伴随状语表示与谓语动词的动作同时发生，故选A。

7、D

[考点] 考查近义词。

8、D

[解析] 我们一起吃晚餐吧，______?

考查反义疑问句。英语中，若陈述部分为祈使句，则其反义疑问句通常用will you，won't，you，would you等；若陈述句是否定的祈使句时，则反义疑问句部分只能用will you；当祈使句为时，反义疑问句要用shall we。因而本题答案选D。

9、D

[解析] 本句大意为：公司解雇了执行总裁，这说明了公司面临着多么严重的危机。句首的it为先行词，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。

10、D

[考点] 考查时间状语从句。

11、C

[解析] 该题是语法结构题，考查副词的排列顺序。

当几个副词同时出现时，通常按“方式副词+地点副词+时间副词”的顺序

排列，如：The man returned with pride to his hometown after the war. 那个人在战后自豪地回到了家乡。因此，选项C为最佳答案。

12、A

[解析] as引导让步状语从句时，通常将让步成分(从句的补语、表语或状语)置于句首，形成倒装形式。这里将修饰动词differ的副词much置于as前，答案为A。

13、D

[考点] 考查名词替代词的用法。

14、B

[解析] 主语中含有and并不一定表示主语就是复数，如果它表示一个单一概念时，谓语动词要用单数形式，否则要用复数形式。本题属于第一种情况。主语The linebacker and captain of the team表示单一概念，所以谓语动词用单数形式。此外，句中的谓语动词select和主语之间的关系为动宾关系，应选择被动语态。所以，B．has been selected就是答案。

15、B

[解析] 该题是词汇短语题，考查惯用语的意义和用法。

选项A中的all in all意思是“总而言之”，如：All in all it had been a great

success. 总之，那是个巨大的成功。选项B中above all表示“(相比较而言)最主要的，最重要的”，如：Above all, make sure you keep in touch. 最要紧的是你们一定要保持联系。选项C中的after all表示“毕竟”，如：You should not have been so

hard on him; after all, he is only a little child. 你不应该对他如此严厉，毕竟他还是一个小孩子。选项D中的over all表示“从一头到另一头(尤指从船头到船尾)”。因此，选项B为最佳答案。

16、C

[解析] 间接引语。有些疑问句徒具形式，实际上并非提出询问，而是表示请求、劝告、建议等含义。这种疑问句变为间接引语时，通常通过特殊手段加以表达。例如：表示请求、劝告，通常用“ask或advise+宾语+不定式”结构，参看例句：Would you please spare me a few minutes?可转为He asked me to spare

him a few minutes. Why don't you take a walk after supper?可转为He advised me to

take a walk after supper. 再如：表示建议，则用“suggest+-ing分词”或“suggest+that-分句”结构，参看例句：What about having a drink?”可转为He

suggested having a drink. 有时还可用“offer+不定式”结构，如：Would you like me

to post the letter?”可转为I've offered to post the letter for him. 本题表请求，选择C。

17、B

[解析] up to one's eyes有两层含义，一是指(债台)高筑；二是当其与系动词be搭配，后跟in work时，指“工作极忙”，所以B“非常忙”正确。A‘‘非常兴奋”；C“非常累”；D“非常有效率”。故选B。

18、C

[考点] 考查形容词词义辨析。

19、A

[解析] 人的社会地位常常通过他们拥有多少财富来衡量。

本题考查动词词义辨析。measure意为“估量，衡量”；examine意为“检查，调查”；test意为“试验，测试”; question意为“询问，审问”，故选A。

20、B

句意：在全国不同地区新油田的发现让政府充满无限希望。infinite无限的，无穷的。endless无止境的，无尽的。eternal永恒的，不灭的。ceaseless(正式)不停的，无休止的。everlasting(正式)永久的，永恒的。

21、A

[考点] 考查名词词义辨析。

22、C

[解析] 考查现在进行时。句中的continually表示反复发生的动作或持续存在的状态，提示了if从句需用现在进行时，故选C。类似的词还有always，forever等。

如果你不断地用这种无聊的问题打扰我，我怎么能集中精力呢?23、D

24、A

25、B

[解析] 考查方式状语从句。so表示“就像……一样，……也”，just as引出表对比的从句，主句要用so与之呼应，故选B。

26、A

[解析] 由heavy rain限定，大雨过后，房子要维修屋顶，肯定是因为房子漏雨。leak意为“漏雨，漏水”，主语常为roof，tank等，符合句意，故答案为A。trickle意为“滴流，滴淌”，主语常为tears，blood，gasoline等，并且后需接down或out；drip意为“滴下，滴水”，主语常为水滴等液态物质；float，意为“漂浮，浮动”，与roof不搭配。

27、B

[解析] 你想跟她的那个老师聊聊天吗?

限定词用法题。名词性物主代词修饰名词时，不可与a、an、this、that等词一起前置，必须使用双重所有格(即“of+名词性物主代词”)作定语放在名词后面，构成形式为“a/an/this/that+名词+of+名词性物主代词”，因此B为答案。这类结构中，名词前一般不用the，故排除D。

28、B

[解析] nothing better than意为“没有什么比……更好”；nothing less than意为“完全是，简直是，与……一模一样”；no less than意为“不少于，不亚于”；anything but意为“决不，根本不”。根据句意，答案为B。

29、B

[解析] 下文的down和below提示，这里是下坡路，可以判断B正确。

30、D

[考点] 考查名词词义辨析。

31、D

[解析] 固定句型。Why not后接动词原形，表示“为什么不……?”通常用作建议，故D项Why not invite正确。若用助动词do，则需主语you，B若改为why don't you invite，也正确。

32、A

[解析] 考查情态动词

选项中的四个情态动词都可以表示推测，按照可能性大小依次排列如下：should, could, may, might，故选A。

33、C

[解析] 简从自行车上摔了下来，其他孩子忍不住笑了起来。

考查情态动词。can't/couldn't help doing sth.意为“忍不住做某事”。

34、A

[解析] 名词辨析题。A项中indications意为“指示；表明”；B项中symbols意为“象征，符号”；C项中symptoms意为“症状，征兆”；D项中gestures意为“手势，姿势”。根据句意可知A最合适。

35、C

[解析] 本句大意为：在我们作最终决定之前，我们必须要考虑公众意见。impression表示“印象”；belief表示“信仰”；opinion表示“意见、舆论”；conviction表示“确信”。根据题意，选择C。

36、A

[解析] 本题考查名词辨析。A项“人物”；B项“性格特点”；C项“魅力”；D项“人物塑造”。结合句意，选A。

37、B

句意：秋天经常下雨，但今天阳光明媚，天空很蓝，万里无云。it做主语，动词用单数第三人称形式。shine照耀。shone是shine的过去分词形式。

38、A

[解析] 本句大意为：我们估计涉及的总人数——不算志愿者在内——将达到七万名左右。not counting为习惯性用法，表示不包括……

39、A

[解析] 这位了不起的作家笔耕为生。

考查动词搭配。live by意为“靠……生活”，后面接名词或动名词，指生存的方式，如打鱼、狩猎等；live on意为“以……为食，靠……生活”，其后接名词，可以是食物、工资或钱；feed on意为“以……为食”，一般用于描述动物；live off后通常接地点名词，强调生活的来源，如土地、山川、河流等。his pen更多地强调生存的方式，live by his pen意为“笔耕生活”，语义通顺，故选A。

40、B

[解析] 固定短语fall out with意为“争吵”，故选B。
