A. as B. then C. so D. but
【答案】D。
【考点】考查并列连词的用法。
【解析】句子前面说“体育运动有很多种类”,后面又说“我最喜欢的是游泳”,显然前后是转折关系,故选D。又如:I like cats but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. 我很喜欢猫, 但可惜我对猫过敏。
22. John Smith, a successful businessman, has a ________ car. (2004辽宁卷)
A. large German white B. large white German
C. white large German D. German large white
【答案】B。
【考点】考查形容词的词序。

23. ―Guess what! I came across an old friend at the party last night.
― ________ I’m sure you had a wonderful time. (2004辽宁卷)
A. Sounds good! B. Very well. C. How nice! D. All right.
【答案】C。
【考点】考查交际口语的用法。
【解析】对话的前面一句说“你猜怎么着了,我在昨晚的聚会上碰到了我的一位老朋友”,空格后句子的意思是“我想你一定玩得很开心吧”,很显然,空格处填C最符合对话语境。选项C的意思是“真好”。其余三项虽然都有“好”的意思,但都不恰当或不得体:A的意思是“听起来不错”,B的意思是“很好”(主要用于修饰动词或表示身体很好),D表示“好吧”“没问题”。
24. I have done much of the work. Could you please finish ________ in two days? (2004辽宁卷)
A. the rest B. the other C. another D. the others
【答案】A。
【考点】考查不定代词的用法。
【解析】在四个选项,the other, the others, another只能代替可数名词,而the rest既可代替可数名词,也可代替不可数名词,但题中本指代的名词the work是不可数的,所以只有A正确。句意为:这项工作我已做了许多,你把剩余的工作在两天内完成好吗?
25. I don’t know whether you happen ________, but I’m going to study in the
A. to be heard B. to be hearing C. to hear D. to have heard
【答案】D。
【考点】考查不定式的用法。
【解析】根据句意,动词hear发生在谓语don’t know之前,所以要用不定式的完成式。句意为:我不知道你是否已经听说过了,今年九月我要去美国学习。又如:I happened to have driven that kind of car before. 碰巧我过去曾开过那种汽车。
26. Maybe you have been to many countries, but nowhere else ________ such a beautiful place. (2004辽宁卷)
A. can you find B. you could find C. you can find D. could you find
【答案】A。
【考点】考查倒装句的用法。
【解析】因nowhere 为表示否定意义的副词,当它置于句首时,其后句子要用部分倒装,故可排除B和C;再根据句中have been的时态可能,句子应用现在时态,故排除D,即答案选A。句意为:你也许去过很多国家,但是你在哪里也不可能找到如此美丽的地方。
27. We were told that we should follow the main road ________ we reached the central railway station. (2004辽宁卷)
A. whenever B. until C. while D. wherever
【答案】B。
【考点】考查状语从句的用法(http://ask.yygrammar.com/)。
【解析】空格前面说We were told that we should follow the main road(有人告诉我们应当沿着这条主要道路往前走),空格后面又说we reached the central railway station(到达中心火车站)。很显然,这是有人在给我们指路,告诉我们该怎么走,比较四个选项,只有B最合适,until意为“一直到”,until we reached the central railway station的意思是“直到我们到达中心火车站”。
28. It is said in the book that Thomas Edison (1847-1931) ________ the world leading inventor for sixty years. (2004辽宁卷)
A. would be B. has been C. had been D. was
【答案】D。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】根据这本书说,Thomas Edison曾在60年里一直是世界最重要的发明家。括号中注明的生卒时间,也表明这是过去的事了;又因为没有另一个过去的时间或动作作对比,不能用过去完成时,所以只有D正确。
29. ―Mum, I’ve been studying English since 8 o’clock. ________ I go out and play with Tom for a while?
―No, I’m afraid not. Besides, it’s raining outside now. (2004辽宁卷)
A. Can’t B. Wouldn’t C. May not D. Won’t
【答案】A。
【考点】考查情态动词的用法。
【解析】表示请求允许,可用may或can,但不用will或would,故可首先排除B和D;又因为当情态动词与否定词not一起置于句首时,必须要用缩写式,故可排除没有使用缩写式的C。即答案只能选A。顺便说一句,即使C使用了缩写式,也不是最佳答案,因为在现代英语中,may not的缩写式很少用(不属普通用法)。
30. ________ by the beauty of nature, the girl from
A. Attracting B. Attracted C. To be attracted D. Having attracted
【答案】B。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】由于句子主语the girl与动词attract是被动关系,故可排除表示主动意义的选项A和D;又因为“被大自然的美景所吸引”在先,“决定在农场再待两天”在后,故不能选表示将来意义的不定式被动式,即排除C。即最佳答案为B。
31. When you finish reading the book, you will have ________ better understanding of _______ life. (2004辽宁卷)
A. a; the B. the; a C. 不填; the D. a; 不填
【答案】D。
【考点】考查冠词的用法。
【解析】虽然understanding是不可数名词,但当其前有描绘性形容词修饰且表示某种形式的“理解”时,其前习惯上要加不定冠词,所以第一空填a,又如:That child shows a surprising understanding of adult behaviour. 那个孩子对成年人行为表现出惊人的理解。第二空不填冠词,因为life泛指“生活”时,其前不用冠词。
32. The final examination is coming up soon. It’s time for us to ________ our studies. (2004辽宁卷)
A. get down to B. get out C. get back for D. get over
【答案】A。
【考点】考查短语动词的用法。
【解析】get down to表示“静下心来(做某事)”,get out表示“离开”“逃走”“出版”,get back for表示“回来取(某物),get over表示”克服”“恢复”“结束(不愉快之事)”。根据The final examination is coming up soon(期末考试快来了)可知,应该是“我们静下心来认真学习的时候了”,故选A最符合句意。
33. John was late for the business meeting because his flight had been ________ by a heavy storm. (2004辽宁卷)
A. kept B. stopped C. slowed D. delayed
【答案】D。
【考点】考查特定语境中动词的用法与辨析。
【解析】根据常识可知,飞机遇上a heavy storm(强烈的暴风雨)应该是“被耽搁”,而不是“被留下”,也不是“被停下来”,也不是“被减速”。句意为:因为航班遭遇暴风雨而耽搁了时间,约翰参加商务会议时迟到了。
34. ― ________ I didn’t hear you clearly. It’s too noisy here.
―I was saying that the party was great. (2004辽宁卷)
A. Repeat. B. Once again. C. Sorry? D. So what?
【答案】C。
【考点】考查交际口语的用法(www.yygrammar.com/)。
【解析】根据空格后的I didn’t hear you clearly(我没听清楚你说的话)可知,空格处应填一个请对方再说一遍的口语表达,故选C最适合。注意,在英语中,请对方再说一遍的交际口语主要有四个:I beg your pardon? / Pardon? / Sorry? / What? 但其中的 what? 只用于熟人或朋友之间,否则视为极不礼貌。
35. The factory produces half a million pairs of shoes every year, 80% ________ are sold abroad. (2004辽宁卷)
A. of which B. which of C. of them D. of that
【答案】A。
【考点】考查定语从句的用法。
【解析】因为逗号前后是句子,而其间又没有连词连接,故可排除C和D;而B词序不对,也被排除。故答案为A。句中的80% of which相当于and 80% of them,意思是“其中80%”。句意为:这个工厂每年生产50万双鞋,其中80%的鞋都销往国外。
