38、句意可知，women 与谓语动词之间是被动关系，look down upon 表示“瞧不起”，这里应该用它的被动语态，故选 D。2._ no body was willing to vote for her, she decided to drop out of the election.（分数：1.00）A.WhenB.ThatC.Seeing that D.So that解析：本题测试的是非谓语动词的用法。全句的意思是：“看到没有人愿意投票给她，她决定退出大选。”现在分词作状语，其逻辑主语是全句的主语，同时分词后面可带名词宾语或宾语从句。据此，应选答案C。3.I“m still unabl
39、e to make myself _ in the discussion, which worries me a lot.（分数：1.00）A.to be understoodB.understandingC.understood D.understand解析：4.He _ for her for one hour by the time she arrived there.（分数：1.00）A.has been waitingB.has waitedC.had been waiting D.waited解析：解析 本题考查的是主、从句谓语动词时态一致的用法。by the time 意思是“到
40、什么时间为止”，从句的时态是一般过去时，说明主句的动作应该发生在从句的动作之前，且主句中有表示一段时间的状语 for one hour，所以应该用过去完成进行时，故选项 C 为正确答案。 避错指南 A 项和 B 项的时态不能与从句的时态保持一致；选项 D 的过去时态与从句时态不协调，其动作没有表示出在从句动作(arrive)之前，故排除。5.The discovery of the ruins of an ancient palace was the _ of their expedition.（分数：1.00）A.climax B.opportunityC.crisisD.adventure
41、解析：解析 句子意思是：发现一座古代宫殿的(废墟)遗迹成了他们探险的高潮。Aclimax 名词，意思是“顶点、极点”。Bopportunity 名词，意思是“机会”。Ccrisis 名词，意思是“危机”。Dadventure 名词，意思是“冒险”。根据句子意思可知答案是 A。三、Section B(总题数：5，分数：5.00)6.If we talk loudly here, we will disturb the (sleep) 1 child. （分数：1.00）解析：sleeping 解析 本题考查分词作定语。此处宾语部分是一个短语，其中心词是名词 child，故作为宾语的名词短语中，需
42、要一个定语，因此此处使用 sleeping 表示动作正在进行，即现在分词作定语修饰名词。 注意现在分词短语和过去分词作定语时的区别。确定使用现在分词还是过去分词的关键在于表示动作的词与名词词组中心词的关系，看词组中的名词是动作的执行者还是接受者。如果名词是动作执行者，就用现在分词作定语；如果是接受者，就用过去分词作定语。7.If I had remembered (close) 1 the window, the thief would not have got in. （分数：1.00）解析：to close 解析 不定式 句意 如果我记得关窗的话，贼可能就进不来了。 解析 英语中有一些词后
43、面既能接不定式。又能接动名词，但含义不同，remember 就是其一。remember to do sth 表示记得要做某事，事情还没有发生；remember doing sth 表示记得做过某事，事情已经发生。根据题意，窗户应该是没关，因此应该用不定式 to close。类似的词还有 forget，regret，try 等。8.The little hero died a heroic (die) 1. （分数：1.00）解析：death 句意：小英雄英勇地牺牲了。有些不及物动词与其同根的名词结合，构成某些惯用语。9.If it (rain) 1 last night, the ground
44、 would be wet and the temperature would be low today. （分数：1.00）解析：had rained解析 本题考查虚拟语气。本题为错综时间条件句(即主句谓语与从句谓语表示的动作或发生的时间不同)，是一种特殊的虚拟条件句。从句表示与过去事实相反的假设，主句则表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以从句应用过去完成时，主句应用过去将来时，因此空格处应填 had rained。10.She didn“t detect the delicate (differ) 1 between the two sentences. （分数：1.00）解析：differen
45、ce解析 句意：她没有察觉出这两个句子之间的细微差别。该题考查的是词性转换。分析：根据题意，形容词 delicate 之后应该用名词，而 differ 的名词形式是 difference。四、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)When people say that Cambridge is a university town they do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation
46、 between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market places and so on, but most of it is universitycolleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university sta
