【答案与解析】
21. B。but I’d rather not是用于表示委婉拒绝的常用表达，又如：Are you coming with us?--I’d rather not. 你和我们一起来吗?――我不想。
22. A。if you do相当于if you take too much of the medicine。
23. C。第一空填介词of，因为be convinced of为固定搭配，其意为“认识到”；第二空填on，因为表示“对……的影响”，名词effect要与介词on搭配，又如：The war had a serious effect on petrol prices. 这场战争对汽油价格产生了严重的影响。
24. D。由于“他”与“训练”之间为被动关系，故可排除A和C。另外，由于被训练进行航空飞行是他被派往那儿的目的，所以宜用不定式，故选D。
25. B。a survey of…的意思是“对……的调查”，表单数意义，故第一空填单数动词；three hours of outdoor exercise a week的意思是“每周三小时的户外锻炼”，虽然为three hours为复数，但在此表整体意义，也为单数。
26. A。第一空填不定冠词，因为diet表示“节食”时，为可数名词；第二空不填冠词，因为room在此指“空间”“空处”，是不可数名词。
27. D。根据I remember I put it here yesterday可知，put用的是一般过去时，也就是说空格处是对过去情况作推测，故可排除A和C。再根据should have put(本来应该放在)和might have put(可能已放在)的不同意思和句子语境可知，此题应选D不能选B。
28. B。none but是习语，其意为“只”“仅”，又如：None but the best is good enough for my child. 只有最好的才配得上我的孩子。 / None but the brave deserves the fair. (谚语)只有勇士才配得到美人。类似的习语还有nothing but，如：Nothing but the best is sold in our shops. 本店所售商品均属精品。
29. B。it was some time before…是一个很有用的句型，其字面意思是“在……之前过了一段时间”，通常可转译为“要过一段时间才会……”，如：It will be five years before we meet again. 五年以后再见。 It may be a matter of months before it’s ready. 要准备好可能得数月时间。
30. B。题目中将“放入冰箱中冷冻”与“不放入冰箱中冷冻”作比较，故用比较级。句意为：史密斯家人晚餐时上的甜瓜若能放入冰箱中冷冻一下味道会更好些。
31. C。由于在电脑前工作太久，所以导致了现在头痛的结果，故空格处应填现在完成时或现在完成进行时，即答案选C。
32. D。where在此引导定语从句，修饰先行词point（不是career），又如：We have reached a point where a change is needed. 我们到了必须改一改的地步。
33. C。for some time的意思是“一段时间”。全句意为：一段时间来，专家们一直在提出警告，提醒人们被动吸烟对健康的危害。
34. A。此题考查it is ...that…这一强调句句型。句意为：我不介意她批评我，我反对的是她批评我的方式。
35. D。对于刚刚发生的情况，要用一般过去时或过去进行时。答语的意思是：对不起。但我不是有意要弄伤你，我是在把一只老鼠赶出去。
