28、s.B.A friend of my mother.C.My mother friend.D.A friend of my mothers.解析：解析 该题是语法结构题，考查名词双重所有格的意义和用法。 名词双重所有格是“of+名词s”结构，用来修饰名词，经常与a、any、some、this、that、these、those等词连用，表示部分概念或感情色彩，如：that book of his fathers他父亲的那本书(部分概念)，the important theory of Einsteins爱因斯坦的这一重要理论(感情色彩)。名词双重所有格还可以用“of+名词性物主代词”结构，如：a

29、 picture of mine我的一张照片。因此，选项D为最佳答案。2.He is a brilliant scholar and is everywhere recognized _.（分数：2.00）A.as suchB.as muchC.such asD.so as解析：解析 该题是语法结构题，考查as such结构的意义和用法。 选项A中的as such表示“以这种身份；因此；本身”等，如：He is not terribly interested in politics as such. 他对政治本身并不特别感兴趣。选项C中such as用来举例，表示“例如，诸如”。选项B中的as

30、 much和选项D中的so as用于题干中空白处没有意义。因此，选项A为最佳答案。3.Wed rather you _ the account tomorrow.（分数：2.00）A.settledB.settleC.would settleD.will settle解析：解析 该题是语法结构题，考查虚拟语气的用法。 would rather、would as soon、would sooner以及would prefer等结构通常用来提出建议或表示婉转的责备，它们后面所跟从句中的谓语动词要求使用虚拟语气。从句中谓语动词的形式如下：如果表示与过去事实相反，谓语动词用：had done，如：My

31、 wife would rather I hadnt bought that sofa. 我妻子不喜欢我买的那个沙发。如果表示与现在或将来事实相反，谓语动词用一般过去式，如：He would rather you left tomorrow morning.他希望你明天早上走。又如：I would rather this wallet were mine. 我倒希望这个钱包是我的。因此，选项A为最佳答案。4._ we have finished the course, we shall start doing more revision work.（分数：2.00）A.For nowB.Sin

32、ce thatC.Now thatD.By now解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考查固定短语结构的意义。 选项A中的短语for now意思是“暂时；目前”。选项B中的表达不存在，应该去掉that, since单独使用引导句子表示原因。短语now that表示原因，与since意义相近。选项D中的by now意思是“到现在为止”。学生很容易将since that误认为是now that，实际上是since与now that的意义相似。因此，选项C为最佳答案。5.Britains press is unusual _ it is divided into two very different type

33、s of newspaper: the quality press and the popular press.（分数：2.00）A.in howB.in whatC.in whichD.in that解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考查固定短语结构in that的意义和用法。 在四个选项中只有最后一个in that表示原因，其他几个均不能表示此意义，如：She was fortunate in that she had friends to help her. 她很幸运，因为有朋友帮助她。因此，选项D为最佳答案。6.He made a long speech _ his ignorance of

34、the subject.（分数：2.00）A.only showingB.only showedC.only to showD.only as to show解析：解析 该题是语法结构题，考查动词不定式的用法。 不定式可以用来作结果状语，仅限于learn、find、see、hear、tell、make等动词。only to do sth. 常常表示令人不快的结果，如：I hurried to Professor Wangs house only to find that he was out. 我匆匆赶到王教授家，可是发现他外出了。选项B中的only showed和选项D中的only as t

35、o show放人句子空白处后所生成的句子不符合语法规范。选项A中的only showing放人空白处后所生成的句子符合语法规范，但语义很荒谬：他作了长时间的发言并向大家证明他在这个问题上很无知。因此，选项C为最佳答案。7.It was to New York _ he went in the hope of finding work in one of the New York newspapers.（分数：2.00）A.whichB.whereC.asD.that解析：解析 该题是语法结构题，考查强调句型的用法。 强调句型是It is/was+强调部分+that+句子其他部分。强调部分可以是

36、句子的主语、宾语、表语、状语等部分。如果去掉It is/was.that，句子结构和意义仍然是完整的。在该句中，强调部分是状语；如果去掉It is/was.that，该句就变成了He went to New York in the hope of finding work in one of the New York newspapers. 因此，选项D为最佳答案。8._ before, his first performance for the amateur dramatic group was a success.（分数：2.00）A.Though having never actedB

37、.As he had never actedC.Despite he had never actedD.In spite of his never having acted解析：解析 该题是语法结构和逻辑意义题，考查动词-ing形式的用法。 选项A首先错在否定词位置不对，现在分词短语的否定词应该在其前面，因此never应该在though和having之间，即应该是Though never having acted before；其次是句子的主语his first performance不能用来作分词短语的逻辑主语，这不符合语义要求。选项B的语法结构是正确的，但这个结构表示原因，从整个句子逻辑意

38、义上来讲应该排除掉。选项C中的despite后面跟名词、动名词或the fact that，如：Her voice was shaking despite all her efforts to control it. 尽管她全力控制自己，但声音仍在颤抖。又如：She was good at physics despite the fact that she found it boring. 尽管她认为物理枯燥无味，但她却学得很好。选项D中的having acted是动名词，前面带有否定词never，还带有其逻辑主语his，符合语法规则要求。因此，选项D为最佳答案。9.No one would

39、have time to read or listen to an account of everything _ going on in the world.（分数：2.00）A.it isB.as isC.that isD.what is解析：解析 该题是语法结构和逻辑意义题，考查定语从句的用法。 根据相关语法规则，当先行词是all、everything、something、nothing等不定代词，或被first、last、only、few、much、some、arty、no以及形容词最高级等修饰时，应该使用关系代词that来引导定语从句。因此，根据题意和语法规则，选项C为最佳答案。10

40、.There was a serious accident yesterday. Do you know which driver _ the accident?（分数：2.00）A.was to blame forB.was to be blamed forC.is going to blame forD.is going to be blamed for解析：解析 该题是语法结构题，考查动词时态和语态的用法。 短语blame for意思是“该受责备；应承担责任”，要求用主动式表示被动意义，因此选项B和选项D可以排除掉。选项C的时态不对。因此，选项A为最佳答案。11.He is that k

41、ind of man who is penny wise and _ foolish.（分数：2.00）A.poundB.currencyC.moneyD.dollar解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考查名词的习惯用法。 penny wise and pound foolish是英语中的习惯用法，意思是小事聪明大事糊涂。其他几个选项中的名词不能用于此习惯用法中。因此，选项A为最佳答案。12.As advised, you ought to spend your time on something _ researching into.（分数：2.00）A.worth ofB.worthC.worth

42、yD.worthless解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考查形容词的意义和用法。 选项A中的worth of意思是“值的某物”，如：ten dollars worth of books价值10美元的书。选项B中的worth后面跟名词、代词或动名词，意思是“值得努力的，值得做的”，如：The job involves a lot of hard work but it is worth it. 这工作需要花费很大力气，但是值得。选项C中的worthy后面跟介词of，意思是“值得或应得”，如：A number of the reports findings are worthy of note. 这份报

43、告里有些调查结果值得注意。选项D中的worthless意思是“没用的；无价值的”，如：a worthless painting一幅毫无价值的画。因此，选项B为最佳答案。13.Our _ were turned down without any discussion at the meeting.（分数：2.00）A.prepositionsB.propositionsC.advicesD.proposes解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考查名词的意义和用法。 选项A中的preposition意思是“介词”。除了这个选项，其他几个选项都表示建议：选项B中的proposition是可数名词；选项C中的a

44、dvice是不可数名词，无名词复数形式；选项D中的propose是动词。因此，选项B为最佳答案。14.The dictionary is very thick and it _ 10,000 pages.（分数：2.00）A.runs afterB.runs out ofC.runs throughD.runs to解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考查动词run与介词或副词组成的短语动词的意义和用法。 短语run after sb./sth. 意思是“追逐，追赶”，如：The dog is running after the hens. 那只狗正在追母鸡。短语run out of sth. 意思是“

45、耗尽”，如：The human race will run out of some natural resources very soon. 人类将很快耗尽某些自然资源。短语run through sth.意思是“快速穿越；迅速传遍”，如：Thoughts of revenge kept running though his mind.报复的念头不断在他的脑子里闪过。短语run to sth. 意思是“达到(某一规模或数量)”，如：The number of students in that middle school runs to 20,000. 那所中学有两万名学生。因此，选项D为最佳答案。15.He knew of no patient _ to ring him at that hour.（分数：2.00）A.hardlyB.likelyC.seeminglyD.possibly解析：解析 该题是词汇题，考
