22、ULA(总题数：40，分数：100.00)1.Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?（分数：2.50）A.You have a more beautiful wife than I.B.Of you two, John is more modest.C.This picture is better than that one.D.Nothing is more pleasant than travelling.解析：解析 考查比较级。形容词比较级后接单数可数名词时，前面要用a，因此A正确。当比较级后接than时，前面不用冠词the；但若后接
23、of时，前面必须有the。如：This is the better of the two. B中，比较级后面的of短语被移至句首，more前面必须有the，因此答案为B。2.All of the following italicized parts are used as a subject EXCEPT（分数：2.50）A.It is still a questionwhen we shall have our sports meet.B.It is no goodreading without full understanding.C.We consider it our dutyto o
24、bey the regulations.D.It is important thatwe should guarantee the quality of the products.解析：解析 it用法题。英语中为避免出现头重脚轻，常用it作形式主语或形式宾语，而真正的主语或宾语(如句子、不定式、分词短语等)常放在句子后面。A、B、D项斜体部分均是it的真正主语，只有C项to obey the regulations作动词consider的宾语。3.Where did you get to know him? It is in the factory _ we worked.（分数：2.50）A
25、.thereB.thatC.whereD.which解析：解析 本题容易误选B，认为we worked是强调句式that后面的内容。事实上这是一个省略了that后面内容的强调句，根据问句可知，完整回答应是It is in the factory where we worked that I got to know him. 因此空格后的we worked是定语从句，需用连接副词where。4.He _ in London for more than ten years, but he has never regretted his final decision to move back to
26、China.（分数：2.50）A.has livedB.was livingC.livedD.would live解析：解析 本题容易因for many years误选A。but后的句子用现在完成时，表明“他”现在是在中国，因此在伦敦居住应该是过去的事情，故用过去时，答案为C。5.Its about time we _ pouring waste water into the river.（分数：2.50）A.had to stopB.shall stopC.stoppedD.stop解析：解析 考查固定句型It is time.的用法。It is(high/about)time (that)
27、后面的从句谓语动词要用过去式或“should+动词原形”(较少见，且should不可省略)。A项had to stop表示“一定要停止”，B项是将来时，D项动词原形，都不符合条件，答案为C。6.Which of the following italicized parts is a subject clause (主语从句)?（分数：2.50）A.Soon came the orderthat all the people should obey the rules.B.It is a wonderthat the wounded soldier is still alive.C.Could
28、you please tell mehow you use the new panel?D.What I told him was thatI would find him a good play.解析：解析 考查句子结构。B中的it是形式主语，that引导的从句是真正主语，全句意为“那个伤兵还活着，真是个奇迹。”故B包含主语从句，为正确答案。A中的that引导同位语从句，具体说明the order，全句意为“所有人都应该遵守规则这项命令很快就会出来。”C中的how引导宾语从句，充当tell的直接宾语；D中的that引导从句在系动词was后，为表语从句。7.Which of the follo
29、wing sentences is INCORRECT?（分数：2.50）A.I stayed in all night long waiting, but none came.B.There is somebody at the door. Go and see who it is.C.You may choose someone of these beautiful ladies.D.Do you want anybody to help you finish it?解析：解析 考查复合不定代词的用法。someone, everyone, anyone, no one, somebody,
30、 anybody, nobody, everybody都是单数含义，作主语时谓语动词须用单数形式，而且后面不得接of，如果要接of，必须用隔开的形式some one, every one, any one, no one等，因此C不正确，可改为：You may choose some one of these beautiful ladies.8.Pointing at his new designed map, Tom proudly said that it was not a piece of paper, but a record of（分数：2.50）A.organized geog
31、raphically informationB.geographical organized informationC.geographically organized informationD.organized geographical information解析：解析 考查词序。organized是过去分词，作定语修饰information，选项中“地理”应是一个副词修饰动词转变而来的过去分词organized，因此选项C正确。9.The local government is said _ of attracting more foreign funds to develop the
32、mining industry.（分数：2.50）A.to thinkB.to be thinkingC.that he is to thinkD.that he is thinking解析：解析 被动句式的转换。英语中要避免说出动作执行者时常用“it is said/believed/considered/reported.”等结构来表示“据说”等含义，通常可以做如下转换：It is believed that he is honest. He is believed to be honest. 因此C和D不选。此外，根据句意，该题强调think of正在进行中，因此用进行时，选B项to b
33、e thinking。10.They are discussing things and persons _ occupy an important position in their life.（分数：2.50）A.whichB.whoC.thatD.where解析：解析 考查定语从句关系代词的使用。当先行词里同时含有人和物时，定语从句只能使用that，因此答案为C。11.It is _ of him to go to work before breakfast.（分数：2.50）A.characteristicB.uniqueC.specialD.particular解析：12.My fr
34、iend has been seeing a woman off and on but I do not think that their relationship is very serious. The underlined part means _.（分数：2.50）A.occasionallyB.frequentlyC.successivelyD.unexpectedly解析：解析 短语off and on的意思是“断断续续，有时，偶尔”，这与A含义相同。13.During the reading lesson, the teacher asked students to read a
35、 few _ from the novel.（分数：2.50）A.piecesB.extractsC.essaysD.fragments解析：14.The majority of nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of the medical profession women are in a _.（分数：2.50）A.minimumB.minorityC.rarityD.scarcity解析：15.Jack and I _ a vase out of mud in todays art and craft lesson.（分数：2.50）A.
36、mouldedB.managedC.formedD.cast解析：16.My sister said that her new boyfriend was the living end . The underlined part means _.（分数：2.50）A.handsomeB.dyingC.stupidD.great解析：解析 短语the living end的意思是“棒极了，了不起”，这与D含义一致。17.Common interests _ this country with many others during the war.（分数：2.50）A.associatedB.al
37、liedC.combinedD.united解析：18.He said that they had _ been obliged to give up the scheme for lack of support.（分数：2.50）A.gravelyB.forciblyC.regrettablyD.graciously解析：解析 该句中短语的be obliged to已经表示“不得不，被迫”，B意思与之重复，选C合适。19.The allusions to mythological characters in Miltons poems _ the reader who has not stu
38、died Latin.（分数：2.50）A.bewilderB.irritateC.annoyD.perplex解析：20.Did you get your point _ to the audience in the debate?（分数：2.50）A.acrossB.aroundC.throughD.round解析：21.Which of the following italicized parts is INCORRECT?（分数：2.50）A.The air-conditioner off, he has to use the fan instead.B.Nobody having a
39、ny more to say, the meeting was closed.C.There being less water left, she needs to boil some.D.Coming late to school, the teacher got angry.解析：解析 考查独立主格结构。独立主格结构是由主语加上非谓语动词、形容词、副词等构成的一种独立结构，A为“主语+副词”构成的独立结构，表原因，相当于原因状语从句Because the airconditioner is off；B、C为“主语+分词”构成的独立结构，也是充当原因状语。D斜体部分的逻辑主语是the tea
40、cher，但根据句意，上学迟到的显然是指学生，并非老师，D不符合语意逻辑，应改为独立主格结构表原因，即The students coming late to school, the teacher got angry.22._ the help of my English teacher, I would not have succeeded in the speech contest.（分数：2.50）A.But forB.DespiteC.Regardless ofD.Besides解析：解析 根据句意，后半句的would not have succeeded是对过去的虚拟式表达，前半句则
41、是对一个事实的描述，因此这里应该填入一个表达假设条件的词或词组，只有but，for符合要求，等同于if it had not been for.。Despite“尽管”表让步，Regardless of意为“不管，不顾”，Besides“此外”表并列。23._ time, theyll probably agree with what you propose now.（分数：2.50）A.GivingB.HadC.HavingD.Given解析：解析 特殊用法。Given用于句首表假设，其后跟名词、代词或词组，类似的词还有assuming, granted等。答案为D。24._ she cou
42、ldnt understand was _ more and more young people like to follow suit instead of keeping their own styles.（分数：2.50）A.What; whyB.That; whatC.What; becauseD.Why; why解析：解析 第一个空格应填入一个主语从句引导词，且该词在从句中充当宾语，因此只能用what。第二个空格是一个表语从句引导词，because无此用法，排除。从句是一个完整的句子，因此不用what，答案为A。25._, Mr. White scarcely considers t
43、he thought of his employees as well as their needs.（分数：2.50）A.Even if he is a top executiveB.Being a top executiveC.Since he is a top executiveD.Although he is a top executive解析：解析 连词的含义与用法。本句表达的是一般性的转折、让步关系，应该选D项Although表示“尽管，虽然”。A中的Even if也表示让步，但其意为“即使/纵然”，强调“假设的、退一步的”情况。B项Being a top executive是现在
44、分词短语表示原因，相当于一个表示原因的状语从句，C项Since he is a top executive也表示原因，都不符合句意。26.Lucy _ going back to school since she saved enough money, but she hasnt decided yet.（分数：2.50）A.consideredB.had consideredC.is going to considerD.has been considering解析：解析 由hasnt decided可看出“考虑”这一动作正在进行而且还会继续进行，能表达这一含义的只有完成进行时或现在进行时，
45、故选D。27.It is imperative that you _ you resignation before Friday.（分数：2.50）A.handed inB.would hand inC.hand inD.have to hand in解析：解析 虚拟语气。在“it is+形容词+that，从句”中，如果形容词是advisable, appropriate, desirable, essential, fitting, imperative, important, obligatory等表示祈使含义的形容词，则that分句使用“(should)+动词原形”虚拟语气。因此应选择C。28.Engines are to machines _ hearts are to animals.（分数：2.50）A.thatB.whi
