21. For him _______ stage is just _______ means of making a living. (2006山东卷)

A. a; a                   B. the; a                 C. the; the             D. a; the

【答案】B。

【考点】考查冠词的用法。

【解析】第一空填the，因为当stage表示“戏剧表演”“舞台生涯”时，习惯上总要连用定冠词；第二空填a，意思是“一种”。句意为：对他来说，上舞台演戏只是一种谋生的手段。

22. ―How did you find your visit to Qingdao, Joanna?

― _______. (2006山东卷)

A. Oh, wonderful indeed                  B. I went the alone 

C. First by train and then by ship    D. A guide showed me the way

【答案】A。

【考点】考查交际口语。

【解析】根据问句中的How did you find…（你觉得……怎么样）可知，问句是在问对方的主观感觉，而四个选项中，只有A是表示主观感觉的，故选A。

23. Engines are to machines _______ hearts are to animals. (2006山东卷)

A. as                      B. that                    C. what                  D. which

【答案】C。

【考点】考查状语从句。

【解析】这是一个比较难的考题，就算是放到大学四、六级考试中也绝对算是难题，一般的英语语法书也绝对没有涉及此问题，就是连最新出版的《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》和《朗文当代高级英语辞典》的what词条下也找不到此用法。现分析如：what 在此用作连词，其意为“好比”“犹如”“就像”，用以引导相似状语从句。如：Air is to us what water is to fish. 我们离不开空气，就像鱼儿离不开水一样。Reading is to the mind what food is to the body. 读书与思想的关系就好比食物与健康的关系。

24. I’d appreciate _______ if you would like to teach me how to use the computer. (2006山东卷)

A. that                   B. it                         C. this                    D. you

【答案】B。

【考点】考查it用法。

【解析】按英语习惯，当动词appreciate, enjoy, like, dislike, love, hate, prefer等动词后接if或when引导的从句时，其中习惯上要接形式宾语it，又如：She won’t like it if you arrive late. 她不喜欢你迟到。He hates it when people use his bike. 他讨厌别人用他的自行车。I hate it if you say such things in public. 我讨厌你在大庭广众之下说那样的事。I’d prefer it if I didn’t have to do so much work. 要是我不必做那么多工作，那就太好了。I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it. 如果你能帮助我做这事，我会十分感激。

A. make                B. turn                    C. get                     D. grow

【考点】考查动词辨析与用法。

【解析】make在此表示“有望成为”“结果是”，又如：If you train hard, you’ll make a good footballer. 你要刻苦训练就能成为优秀的足球运动员。He’ll never make an actor. 他决当不成演员。She would have made an excellent teacher. 她本可以成为杰出的教师。

26. We’re just trying to reach a point _______ both sides will sit down together and talk. (2006山东卷)

A. where               B. that                    C. when                D. which

【答案】A。

【考点】考查定语从句。

【解析】where引导定语从句，修饰名词a point，相当于in which。注意，在point后接where引导的定语从句，是近年来一个值得注意的考点。又如：There’s one point where I’d like your advice. 有一点我想征求你的意见。We have reached a point where a change is needed. 我们到了必须改一改的地步。

【考点】考查名词性从句。

【解析】从句意上看，应一个表示“无论哪一个”的选项，因此B和D比较合适，但No matter which只用于引导状语从句，不用于引导名词性从句，故不能选B。

C. are uncovering                              D. have uncovered

【答案】A。

【考点】考查动词的被动语态。

【解析】“癌症的原因”应该是“被”揭开，故应用被动语态; 另外，从句意上看，此处应用现在进行时。

A. being given     B. is given             C. given                 D. was given

A. why it does      B. what he does   C. how it is            D. what it is

【答案】D。

【考点】考查宾语从句的连接词及强调句。

【解析】本题干相当于I just wonder what makes him so excited.的意义，所以该题实际上为强调句型的特殊疑问句式，what为宾语从句的连接词且在从句中做主语，句意为：我想知道什么使得他如此兴奋。

A. have been missing                       B. have got lost    C. be missing       D. get lost

【答案】A。

【考点】考查非谓语动词用法。

【解析】根据句中的since可知，此处应用完成式，故可排除C和D。根据句意，missing(不见，失踪)比用lost(丢失，迷失)更合适。
