1. ―How about camping this weekend, just for a change?
―OK, ________ you want. (2010浙江卷)
A. whichever B. however C. whatever D. whoever
【答案】C。
【考点】考查whatever的用法。
【解析】由于空格处所填之词是用作动词want的宾语，所以可排除B（however不用作主语或宾语）和D（whoever虽可用作宾语，但意思上不合适）。至于A，由于没有明确的范围，故也不宜选。又如：We shall defend our city, whatever the cost may be. 不管代价如何，我们要捍卫我们的城市。
2. Many lifestyle patterns do such ________ great harm to health that they actually speed up ________ weakening of the human body. (2010浙江卷)
A. a; 不填 B. 不填; the C. a; the D. 不填; 不填
【答案】B。
【考点】考查冠词的用法。
【解析】由于harm为不可数名词，故第一空不能填不定冠词；第二空后的weakening由于受到of the human body的修饰，所以是特指，故其前要用定冠词。
3. The settlement is home to nearly 1,000 people, many of ________ left their village homes for a better life in the city. (2010浙江卷)
A. whom B. which C. them D. those
【答案】A。
【考点】考查定语从句的用法。
【解析】由于两句之间没有并列连词，所以不能选C和D；又因为先行词指人，故不能选B。句意为：这个定居点解决了将近1,000人的居住问题，他们当中许多人都是远离家乡来城市寻求更好生活的。又如：There were hundreds of protestors, not a few of whom were women. 有数百名抗议者，其中相当一部分为妇女。
4. The majority of people in the town strongly ________ the plan to build a playground for children. (2010浙江卷)
A. consider B. support C. confirm D. submit
【答案】B。
【考点】考查特定语境中动词的用法。
【解析】对于考查特定语境中词语用法的考题，最好的方法是代入翻译法，即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句，哪个选项使原句最通顺，哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为：consider意为“考虑”“认为”support意为“支持”“拥护”，confirm意为“证实”“肯定”，submit意为“屈服”“听从”。显然，只有B最合适。
5. If you plant watermelon seeds in the spring, you ________ fresh watermelon in the fall. (2010浙江卷)
A. eat B. would eat C. have eaten D. will be eating
【答案】D。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】由于条件状语从句用的是一般现在时，所以主句应该用将来时态，由此可排除A和C；而B为过去将来时，是指在过去看来将来发生的情况，与句意不符。故选D。will be eating为将来进行时，指将来要进行的情况，句意为：如果在春天播下西瓜种子，秋天你就可吃到新鲜的西瓜。
6. I have been convinced that the print media are usually more ________ and more reliable than television. (2010浙江卷)
A. accurate B. ridiculous C. urgent D. shallow
【答案】A。
【考点】考查特定语境中形容词的用法。
【解析】对于考查特定语境中词语用法的考题，最好的方法是代入翻译法，即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句，哪个选项使原句最通顺，哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为：accurate意为“准确的”，ridiculous意为“可笑的”，urgent意为“紧急的”，shallow意为“浅薄的”。根据与空格所填之词相并列的more reliable（更可靠的）可知，选accurate（准确的）最合适。
7. I guess we’ve already talked about this before but I’ll ask you again just ________. (2010浙江卷)
A. by nature B. in return C. in case D. by chance
【答案】C。
【考点】考查介词与构成构成的固定搭配。
【解析】对于考查特定语境中词语用法的考题，最好的方法是代入翻译法，即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句，哪个选项使原句最通顺，哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为：by nature意为“天生”“就其本性而言”，in return意为“作为回报”“作了报答”，in case意为“以防万一”，by chance意为“偶然”“碰巧”。根据句意，选C最佳。又如：It may rain; you’d better take an umbrella in case. 可能下雨，拿把伞吧，以防万一。
8. The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, if ________ regularly, can improve our health. (2010浙江卷)
A. being carried out B. carrying out C. carried out D. to carry out
【答案】C。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】由于exercise（锻炼）与carry out（进行，执行）之间为被动关系，故可将答案锁定在A和C之间，排除表示主动意义的B和D；而A是现在分词的被动式，除表示被动外，还表示动作在进行，与句意不符，故选C。if carried out regularly可视为if it is carried out regularly之省略。又如：The doctor carried out an experiment on him (on the monkey). 医生对他(猴子)做了个实验。
9. It is uncertain ________ side effect the medicine will bring about, although about two thousand patients have taken it. (2010浙江卷)
A. that B. what C. how D. whether
【答案】B。
【考点】考查名词性从句的用法。
【解析】从句子结构上分析，句首的it为形式主语，_______ side effect the medicine will bring about为主语从句。在这个主语从句中，短语动词bring about缺少宾语，所以空格处必须填一个能充当宾语的词语，在四个选项中，显然只能what才能充当宾语（因that和whether不充当任何句子成分，how是连接副词，不能用作主语或宾语）。
10. Had I known about this computer program, a huge amount of time and energy ________. (2010浙江卷)
A. would have been saved B. had been saved
C. will be saved D. was saved
【答案】A(http://ask.yygrammar.com/)。
【考点】考查虚拟语气的用法。
【解析】根据句首的had I known about…可知，此题考查的是与过去事实相反虚拟语气，故答案选A。had I known about…为省略倒装形式，其本来结构是If I had known about…。又如：Had I been there, I would have filmed the occasion. 如果我在那里，我会把那场面拍摄下来了。
11. Do you think shopping online will ________ take the place of shopping in stores? (2010浙江卷)
A. especially B. frequently C. merely D. finally

【解析】对于考查特定语境中词语用法的考题，最好的方法是代入翻译法，即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句，哪个选项使原句最通顺，哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为：especially意为“尤其”“特别”，frequently意为“经常地”“频繁地”，merely意为“仅仅”“只有”，finally意为“最终”“最后”。显然只有D最符合句子语境，句意为：你认为在线购物最终将取代在商店购物吗？又如：They have accepted our terms finally. 他们最后接受了我们的条件。We must settle this matter finally. 我们必须彻底解决这一问题。

【答案】B。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】根据句意和句中的时态has been可知，空格处不可能填过去时态，故可排除A和C；比较B和D，B为现在完成时，与句中的for many years（多年来）相吻合，故选B。

【答案】D(http://www.yygrammar.com/)。
