1.D【句意】完成整个建设需要二百万元
【解析】在这里 what引导一个主语从句,what既起引导作用,又在从句中作谓语动词 need的宾语,如:What I want to know is why energy, unlike matter, is not made up of molecules and atoms.我想要知道的是,为什么能量不像物质那样是由分子和原子组成的。因此D是正确选择。尽管that也可引导主语从句,但不能在主语从句中做成分,所以B和 C错误。关系代词what不能用来引导定语从问,所以A也不正确。
2.C【句意】尽管我们想要帮助她,Sara却拒绝了。
【解析】for在这里意为“虽然,尽管”,相当于 in spite of,notwithstanding,如:For all his efforts,he didn't succeed.虽然他尽了力,但还是没有成功。at,in 和 on则没有这种意义和用法。
3.D【句意】尽管存在很多困难,她还是自己完成了这项工作。
【解析】despite意为“尽管,不顾”,如: He came to the meeting despite his serious illness.他尽管病得很厉害,还是来参加了会议。in spite要和of连用,意思与 despite相同,如上句可改为: He came to the meeting in spite of his serious illness.as for意为“至于……,就……而言”,如:As for this kind of rare metal, it will be further studied.至于这种稀有金属,要做进一步的研究。besides意为“除……之外”,如。Besides English he can speak French and German.除了英语他还会说法语和德语。由此可见只有D为正确答案。
4.B【句意】尽管在这个时间出版,他的作品还是受到了关注。
【解析】本题考查的是as引导的让步状语从句.动词publish动作的对象是从句的主语,所以需要用过去分词与was构成被动语态,如:Thoroughly cleaned as it was, the room didn't look tidy.房间虽然给彻底打扫了,但看起来并不整洁。选项A是现在分词的被动式,表示该动作正在进行或与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生,如;Being earnestly invited to dinner, she couldn't very well refuse.有人热情邀请她参加宴会,她不好意思拒绝.选项C是现在分词的主动形式,选项D是动词不定式,而不定式做状话一般表示动作的目的,一般是将要发生的动作。由此可见,只有B是正确答案,而A,C和D旨不正确。
5.D【句意】在后天我们走之前他们可以赶过来的,我们会举行一次晚宴。
【解析】本句是一个虚拟条件句,主句的谓语用的是“should + 动词原形”,表示与现在事实相反或与将来事实可能相反。根据句子结构可以看出,从句部分是倒装句,省略了连接词if,由于句子中的时间状语是the day after tomorrow,所以从句动词应该用与将来事实可能相反的虚拟语气,即“should(were to)+ 动词原形”,如:Were they to act like that again,we should criticize them severely.要是他们再那样做,我们就要严厉地批评他们。由此可见,D是正确答案.
6.C【句意】并不是所有的书她都感兴趣,尽管阅读是她的乐趣。她喜欢读文学类的书,而不是政经类的书。
【解析】all,both,every,always,often,entirely,wholly,altogether等词的否定形式一般表示部分否定,如:All is not gold that glitters.发光的未必全是金子。又如:Every force does not always produce movement.力并非总产生运动。
7.A【句意】和古典音乐追随欧洲传统相反,爵士乐是一种自然和自由的表达方式。
【解析】in contrast to意为“同……相对照或相对比,与……相反”,比较的是两者之间的差异,如:In contrast to the China of pre-liberation days, China of today is strong and powerful.与解放前的中国相对比,今日的中国强大而有力。in connection with意为“与……有关系,关于”,如: In connection with your request of March 18th,we are sorry to tell you your goods can not be shipped right now.关于你 3月 18日信中提出)的要来,我们很抱歉你的货物不能马上装船。in comparison with意为“和……比较起来”,既可以比较相同点也可以比较不同点,如:The tallest buildings in London are small in comparison with those of New York.伦敦最高的楼房同纽约的比起来仍然很低。in regard to做“关于”讲,如:In regard to the other matter,we have not yet discussed it fully.关于其他事情,我们还没有充分讨论。
8.B【句意】城邦之间不断的冲突导致了希腊文明最终的衰落。
【解析】continual意为“经常不断的,常常的(中间可能有间隔)”,如:Continual smoking is bad to one's health.经常抽烟有害身体健康。continuous 指连续不断而且绝对不中断,如: The continuous work made me completely exhausted.不间断的工作使我筋疲力尽。constant可用来指习惯性的重复,如:Constant practice will make you overcome difficulties.经常训练会使你克服困难。contrary作“相反的”讲,如: Any contrary policy is absolutely wrong.任何相反的政策都是绝对错误的。
9.A【句意】用传统的墨水印刷大约需要三十美分,而防摩擦的墨水至少要贵十美分。
【解析】furthermore(此外,而且),meanwhile(同时)和moreover(再者,此外)均是副词,都不能引导从句。只有while是连词,意为“虽然”,含有让步之意,可以引导从句,如:While I admit that the problems are difficult, I don't agree that they cannot be solved.虽然我承认这些问题很难,但我不认为它们不能解决。
10.A【句意】对这条建议,大家有些话要说。
【解析】“There is something(nothing, little, plenty)to be said for …”是一个句型,意为“……有一定(没有,几乎没有,很有)道理”,如:There is something to be said for both sides of the issue.看起来争论的双方都有一定道理。11.C【句意】如果没有你的帮助,我们不会克服那些困难。
【解析】根据句子结构,我们可以看出逗号后面是使用了虚拟语气的主句,因此,须填入表示与过去情况相反的虚拟条件句,“if it were not for …”这一结构表示同现在事实相反的假设,意为“如果不是……”,例如:If it weren't for his wife's money, he'd never be a director.”如果不是他妻子有钱,他永远不会成为一名董事。If it were not for his help, I would never study here.如果没有他的帮助,我永远不会在这儿学习。因此,BIf it were not 错误。“if it had not been for …”的倒装形式为“had it not been for …”,表示与过去事实相反的假设,意为“如果当时没有……”,主句谓语形式是“would + have done”,例如:If it had not been for Dr.Li, he would have died of smallpox.如果当初不是李医生的话,他已死于天花了。Had it not been for his carelessness, the project wouldn't have failed.当时如果不是他粗心的话,这项工程不会失败。因此,C.Had it not been正确,A.Had it not错误(如果后跟been,就是正确的了),D.If we had not been无此结构。
12.A【句意】可能他听说了这条消息。
【解析】“(The)chances are(that)”常用于口语中,意为“很可能”,如:The chances are that he is staying at home.他很可能呆在家里。
13.C【句意】尽管他知识渊博,也受过教育,但本质上比较愚蠢。
【解析】for all意为“尽管,虽然”,如:For all you say, I still like him.尽管你这样说,我还是喜欢他。but for作“要不是,若非”讲,如:But for the rain, we should have had a pleasant journey.要不是下雨,我们就会去做一次很愉快的旅行了。according to意为“依照,根据”。thanks to则做“幸亏,由于”讲,如:Thanks to your help, we were successful.由于你的帮忙,我们得以成功。
14.A【句意】一从日本回来,李教授直接去了实验室,开始和同事们一起工作。【解析】“upon(on)+ 表示行为的名词”相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。15.C【句意】就我来说,其他的安排可能更好。
【解析】“as far as … be concerned”是固定搭配,意为“就……来说,就……而论”,如:It is impossible as far as we are concerned.对于我们来说,这是不可能的。so far意为“迄今为止”,如:The weather has been hot so far this summer.到目前为止,今年夏天天气一直很热。as for意为“至于……”,后跟名词或代词,不可跟从句。如:As for my past, I'm not telling you anything.至于我的历史,我什么都不会告诉你。so far from意为“非但不”,如:So far from taking my advice, he went and did just what I warned him against.他非但不接受我的劝告,反而去干了我告诫他别干的事。
16.B【句意】我一见到你,我知道你还在生我的气。
【解析】for a moment意为“一会儿”,in a moment做“立即,立刻”解,两者均可作时间状语。the moment相当于as soon as,起连接作用,引导时间状语从句,如:The moment she saw it, she recognized the type of the machine.她一看就认出了这台机器的型号。
17.A【句意】政府的腐败通过新闻界揭露了出来。
【解析】corruption意为“腐化,腐败”,如。Corruption among the officials was another cause for discontent.官员腐化是引起不满的又一原因。cosmetic意为“化妆品”,如:Mother has a special cosmetic bag for keeping her cosmetics in.母亲有一只专门放化妆品的化妆袋。cottage意为“小屋,别墅”,如:They have a summer cottage.他们有处避暑别墅。costume意为“服装,戏装”,如:He was dressed in ceremonial costume.他身穿礼服。18.C【句意】当他在黑暗中行走的时候,他的头碰到了墙。
【解析】由于walk和主句主语his head没有任何逻辑关系,因此在这里不能使用walk的非谓语形式,也不能使用“while +-ing”形式做状语,否则就形成了悬垂结构。在这种情况下,到们只好使用when引导的状语从句,所以C正确。
19.D【句意】聋是一个用来形容部分或者全部丧失听力的术语。
【解析】根据句子的结构我们可以看出,该处应为主语,而四个选项中可以做主语的只有deafness,因此D为正确答案。
20.C【句意】众所周知,马克·吐温是一位伟大的美国作家。
【解析】根据句子结构我们可以看出,前面的句子是非限制性定语从句,四个选项中 A和 D不能引导此类从句,故应排除。Which引导的此类从句必须置于主句之后,因此B也不正确。as可以做关系词,做“正如…… 那样;如同……那样”讲,用来引导非限制性定语从句,这时,as指代整个主句,既可放在主句前,也可放在主句后,后一种情况往往被看做插入语,例如:As is known to us all, contributions to computer technology are no longer confined to any one country.大家都知道,对计算机技术做出贡献的,已经不像过去那样仅是某一个国家了。He did it on purpose,as is often the case.这是他故意干的,情况通常是这样。As we know, water is necessary for the existence of all forms of life.我们知道,水对于切生物的生存是必不可少的。有些考生误选了it,他们错误地认为it做形式主语,后面的Mark Twain is a great American writer做真正的主语。如将句中的逗号省略掉,并代之以that,那么选it就是正确的了。
21.D【句意】太阳是星系的中心,而不是地球,在中世纪这是一个难以理解的概念。
【解析】根据句子结构我们可以看出。在was前面是一个主语从句,而主语从句必须有引导词。但A,B和C中都没有引导词,因此三个均错。D中that引导主语从句,在句中不做任何成分,只起引导词的作用,因而D是正确答案,如。That he will refuse the offer is unlikely.他拒绝这项建议的可能性不大。
22.A【句意】信不信由你,他的发现在科技界引起了震动。
【解析】believe it or not是习惯用语,常用于口语中,意为“信不信由你,我说的是真的”。如:Believe it or not,he was granted a full scholarship by Harvard University.信不信由你,哈佛大学给他提供了全额奖学金。Believe it or not,I'm feeling quite homesick.我很想家,我说的是真话。
23.C【句意】世界上有数百万种物质。
【解析】million一词做数词时不加s,如:There are two million people in that city.那座市有200万人。另外,B中的that易使人认为它要引导一个名词性从句,而且million后加s时,要和of连用,D中it is不表示“存在”之意。因此B和D错误。在there be结构中,谓语动词要和与之最近的主语在数上保持一致。句中的kinds是复数,要求其谓语动词也用复数形式。因此A错误而C正确。
24.C【句意】虽然人类现在可以创造出各种放射性元素,但是他们没有办法来减少其放射性。【解析】while除了引导时间状语从句外,还可以引导让步状语从句,做“尽管,虽然”讲,有着强烈的对比意味,例如; While I admit his good points I can see his bad ones.虽然我承认他的优点,但我也能看得出他的缺点。whether引导让步状语从句时,通常与or连用,意为“不管……还是……”,例如。Whether you can see the moon or not,it is always round.不管你看见与否,月亮总是圆的。now that 意为“既然…… ”,引导条件状语从句,从句内容是既成的事实,例如: Now that you will come here,I needn't go there.既然你要来,我就没必要到那儿去了。as也可以引导让步状语从句,但是该从句一般置于主句之前,且从句内容必须倒装,例如。Much as he likes her,he does get irritated with her sometimes.尽管他喜欢她,可有时他确实也对她发火。Try as he would,he could not lift the rock.虽然他尽力了,但仍不能搬动那块石头。
25.C【句意】对我来说,我认为一本英汉字典要比一本全英字典要好。
【解析】as for做“对……来说,就……而言”讲,如: As for her,she prefers tea to coffee.至于她, 则更喜欢茶而不是咖啡。as(so)far as意为“就……所……”如:As far as I know,there are no peaches on the market.就我所知,市场上没有桃子。as far不做为固定短语用。as regard也不做为固定短语用,坦as regards是固定短语,意思是“至于”,如:Now,as regards money,what is to be done?至于钱的问题,该怎么办?
26.C【句意】我一回来就了解到史密斯教授已经到了博物馆,几个小时不会回来。
【解析】on用来指时间,表示“在……之时”,相当于at the same time of,后跟动名词或表示动作的名词,如: On his arrival in Qingdao he set to work in earnest一到青岛他就认真地干了起来。而at,with和during 则没有这种用法。
27.D【句意】摆脱了冰的束缚,气球越升越高,飘到了南方。
【解析】根据句于结构我们可以看出,该处应使用分词短语,表示原因,因此A和B应予以排除。又因为free和balloon具有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以 C也可以排除。此处使用过去分词表示动作的被动和完成,如:Influenced by his example,they performed countless good deeds.在他事迹的影响下,他们做了无数的好事.
28.C【句意】曾经,曼彻斯特是世界上几个大棉厂的诞生地。
【解析】at one time意为“曾经,一度”。如:At one time the little girl formed the habit of visiting Einstein after school every day。有一段时间,那个小女孩养成了个习惯,每天放学后都去看望爱因斯坦。选项A,B和D都不能和one time构成短语,故只有C正确。
29.A【句意】直到最近,英国的大部分已婚妇女还没有离家工作。
【解析】before,from和since与quite recently连用,不符合语法;before quite recently一般要与过去完成时连用;from(since)quite recently一般要与现在完成进行时连用。until用在否定句中表示“直到……才”之意,如:It was not until the beginning of the century that man began to realize that it was the brain not the heart that was the center of mind.直到本世纪初,人们才逐渐认识到是大脑而不是心脏是思维活动的中心.由此可见,A是正确答案。
30.C【句意】正是从Stephen那里,他听说了被人称之为专家的那个人。
【解析】由于英语语法要求在同一个句号前,不可以有两个既不是并列关系,也不是从属关系的句子,故A不是正确答案。B,C和D都使用了强调句型,但通过运用这样一个规则“将强调句型中的it is(或was)和that(或who)省略掉,句子结构仍然应该是完整的”,就可看出只有 C为正确答案。例如:It was this very student that had shown great interest in the problem.就是这个学生曾对这个问题表现出了极大的兴趣。

1.A【句意】决不能把任何钱交给一个小孩。
【解析】具有否定意义的短语on no account用做状语,意为“决不”,用于句首时,句子主谓要倒装。例如: On no account must we view problems superficially and in isolation.我们决不能仅从表面上孤立地看待问题,of no account意为“不重要的”,相当于形容词。例如: His speech was of no account.他的发言毫不重要。from all accounts和 by all accounts意为“从(所有报纸等)的报道看”,例如: From(By)all accounts he has been to Guilin.根据各种说法,他去过桂林。From(By)all accounts he is a good doctor.根据各种说法,他是一位出色的医生。
2.D【句意】有些哺乳动物是如何开始在大海中成长的现在人们已经知道了。
【解析】根据句子结构我们可以看出,在is前面是一个主语从句。而since和although一般均引导状语从句,不引导名词性从句,故B和C应当排除。which作为连接代词,意为“哪些,哪个”,可以引导名词性从句,which在从句中一般做定语,如。The question is in which way we can carry out the test.问题是我们用什么方法才能进行这次测试。该句中已有some修饰mammals,再用which实属多余,因此A也可以排除。how做连接副调,意为“如何”,可以引导名词性从句,如:I want to know how he feels about working for 10 hours a day.我想知道他对一天工作10个小时是怎样想的。由此可见D为该题正确答案。
3.B【句意】任何有一点常识的学生应该能够回答这个问题。
【解析】any一般用在否定句或疑问句中(在肯定向中一般要用some),但是该词也可用于肯定句中,意为“任何,无论哪一个”,此时的any须重读。例如: The government is opposed to any further increase in taxes.政府反对进一步增加税收。Any device that stores up electric charge is called an electric capacitor.任何储存电荷的装置都叫电容器。each做“各自的,每个的,每一”讲,例如:Each book and each pen is found in its place.每一本书每一支笔都放得并并有条。either用作形容词,意为“任一的,(两方中的)每一方的”,常和or连用,例如: In either case,whenever atoms are changed, energy is released.在任一情况下,每当原子发生变化时,总要释放出能量。
4.B【句意】给了这么好一个机会,他计划学到更多的东西。
【解析】该题旨在考查非谓语动词的用法。现在分词的完成式表示该分词所表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示动作之前,而现在分词的一般式则表示该动作和谓语动词的动作同时发生,如: Relying on our own efforts,we overcame one difficulty after another.我们依靠自己的力量克服了一个又一个困难。Having worked among the workers for so many years,he knew them very well.由于在工人中工作多年,他对他们非常了解。根据句意,该处应用被动语态,故B为正确答案,而 C和 D错误。不定式一般用作目的状语,表示将来的动作,如:To generate a current by magnetic action,a wire is made to pass through a mangnetic field.为了通过磁作用来产生电流,可以使用导线切割磁场。To do a good job,we must have the right tools.要干好活工具要对头。可见A也错误。
5.B【句意】由于我的头脑已经清醒了,我的大脑也开始里灵活起来。
【解析】now that是复合连词.意为“既然,由于”,如:Now that you’ve grown up,you must stop this childish behavior.你既然长大了,就必须停止这种幼稚的行为。for和 since接从句时,都不和that连用,despite后要跟名词,所以正确答案是B。6.C【句意】正是在二十世纪六十年代,这两个国家的贸易达到了顶点。
【解析】该题旨在考查强调句型。我们知道,英语强调句型的结构是“It + is(was)+ 被强调部分+ that(who)+ 句子其他部分”。被强调部分可以是主语、宾语或状语,如:It was Tom that(who)met your sister in the zoo yesterday.是汤姆昨天在动物园碰到你姐姐的。It was your sister that(whom)Tom met in the zoo yesterday.汤姆昨天在动物园碰到的是你姐姐。It was in the zoo that Tom met your sister yesterday.汤姆昨天是在动物园碰到你姐姐的。It was yesterday that Tom met your sister in the zoo.汤姆是昨天在动物园碰到你姐姐的。根据句意,该题强调的是时间状语,可见只有C能与之构成完整的强调句型,为正确答案。
7.A【句意】建筑用机器人是如此的聪明,以至于他们能够减少工地用工量的百分之九十。【解析】 such(A用在名词前(带或不带形容词),so用在形容词前(不带名词),例如:She was embarrassed at such a request.对这样的请求她感到很为难。She was anxious about her daughter being out so late at night.女儿晚上外出,很晚不归,她为此担心。“so + 形容词 + a(n)+ 名词”结构常用于书面语。例如:I has never met so gentle a person. This is so beautiful a country.这是一个非常美丽的国家。用so和such的词组,后面可跟that引导的结果状语从句,例如:She made such a good meal that we all ate far too much.她莱烧得这么好,我们都吃得太多了。根据句意及结构,C Such construction robots are clever和 Dsuch clever construction robots are错误,可改为They are such clever construction robots…。so或 such引起的短语位于句首,表示强调时,主句主谓要倒装。例如:So clever is the boy that we all like him.小孩子十分聪明,我们都喜欢他。Such was the force of explosion that all the windows were broken.爆炸的威力很大,所有的窗子都震坏了。因此,A正确而B错误。
8.C【句意】如果我知道你出去了,晚上那个时间我不会去打扰你。
【解析】根据句意,此处应使用虚拟语气,因此B错误。A尽管使用了虚拟语气,但它表示的是对一般将来情况的虚拟,所以时态不正确。为了表示语气上的强调,虚拟条件句中可以省略if,而此时从句应使用倒装结构,如: Had he taken a little more time to think,he might have acted more reasonably.如果他再多用一点时间思考一下,他的行动 就可能会更理智些。尽管D也使用了倒装结构,但它表示的是对一般将来的虚拟,时态不正确。可见只有C正确。
9.B【句意】尽管科技进步了,人老以后带来的各种不便会伴随着我们。
【解析】despite意为“尽管,不顾”,引导让步状语,如:He persisted in going his own way,despite my warnings.他不顾我的再三警告,一意孤行。as for意为“至于……,就……而言”,如:As for it,I will say nothing any more.至于这件事情,我不再说什么了。except意为“除……之外”,表示排除与整体性质相同的人或物,如: He gets up early every day except on Sunday.除星期日外,他每天早起。besides意为“除……之外”,如:Besides English he can speak French and German.除了会说英语外。他还会说法语和德语。由此可见,B是正确答案。
10.B【句意】考虑到德国对其经济实力所作的声明,德国经济实力的弱小实在让人惊讶。【解析】过去分词短语作状语一般要和句子主语有逻辑动宾关系,但是有时句子中的过去分词虽然和句子主语不是逻辑动宾关系,但却符合语法,因为这些过去分词功能相当于一个连词或介词,given就是其中之一。given可用作介词,意为“考虑到,假定,假若”,例如: Given the weather,the football game was quite good.考虑到天气因素,这场足球赛踢得相当不错。Given that he was still a boy,I forgave him.考虑到他还是个孩子,我就原谅他了。
11.C【句意】尽管自己已经七十多岁了,这位老人还是决定游过海峡。【解析】本句意为“尽管老人已 70多岁,他还是决定要横游过海峡。”despite在此是介词,意为“尽管”,如: Despite a shortage of steel,industrial output has increased by five percent.尽管钢材供应不足,工业产量仍增长了5%。其他三项均不符合本意思。
12.D【句意】要不是这次洪水,这艘船就会准时到达目的地了。
【解析】would have reached是虚拟语气形式,根据句意,需填入表示虚拟条件的从句或类似结构,因此,选but for。but for意为“倘没有;要不是”,它与后面的名词所构成的结构的作用相当于虚拟条件状语从句,例如: But for(Had it not been for)your help,we should not have finished in time.要不是你帮忙,我们不会及时完工。in case of 意为“假如;如果发生,防备”,例如; In case of fire,walk quietly to the nearest door.如发生火灾,要镇静地走向最近的门口。in spite of 意为“虽然,不顾,尽管……仍……”,例如:In spite of all his efforts he failed.他虽然做了各种努力,仍然失败了, because of意为“因为”,例如:I said nothing about it,because of his wife's being there.因为他的妻子在那里,我对这事一字未提。
13.A【句意】图书馆和书店都没有我需要的书。你能告诉我在那能够买得到吗?
【解析】“neither…nor…”和“either…or…”均为固定搭配,连接两个相等的成分。因此B和D应该排除。“either…or…”连接两个相等的成分时,意为“或者……,或者……”,两者必具其一。根据第二句话,我们知道在the library和 the bookstore均没有“我”所需要的书,故C也应排除.因此只有A是正确答案.
14.B【句意】一看到警察,人们四散跑去了。
【解析】at(the)sight of的意思是“一看见……就”,如: She wept at the sight of his distress. 一宕见他那痛苦的样子她就流泪了。in sight或within sight意为“看得见,迫近”,如:Peace is now in sight.和平在望。in the sight of意为“从……观点来看,在……看来”,如: He was punishable in the sight of law.从法律的角度来看他该受罚。
15.D【句意】考虑到墙的面积,我们认为我们需要三罐油漆。
【解析】size up意为“判断,估量”,如: They sized him up with a look.他们一眼就看出他是什么样的人了make up意为“构成,化妆”,如: A car is made up of many different parts.汽车由许多不同的部件组成。do up意为“扎,捆”,如: You should do up the parcel.你应把这个包裹捆上. put up意为“举起,建造”,如: put your hands up举起手来。
16.C【句意】总的来说,美国早期的城市规划是不错的。
【解析】on the whole是固定搭配,意为“从整体来看,大体上”,如: On the whole,the performance was a success.从整体来看,演出是成功的。
17.C【句意】这些天的天气是多好啊。
【解析】weather是不可数名词,所以 A可以排除。how引导感叹句时后面一般用形容词或副词,而what引导感叹句时应一般用名词(包括不可数名词),据此D也可以排除。weather为复数时一般指“处境,境遇”,故B也不合适。由此可见只有C是正确答案。(可参见薄冰的《英语语法》P.496上的例句:What delightful weather we are having!这天气多好呀!)
18.B【句意】既然我们上完了课程,我们就要开始做更多的修改工作。
【解析】根据句子结构我们可以看出,这里需要一个关联词来引导出一个状语从句。since或now that或now可以用来引导原因状语从句,从句内容是一个既定的事实,例如: Now that you will come here,I needn't go there.既然你要来,我就没必要到那儿去了。ever since后既可跟名词也可跟从句,表示“自从……以来”。如用在此处,则不合乎逻辑,例如:He has not written any letters to her ever since he was ill.自从他生病以来,他从未给她写过信。by now只能作状语,不能引导从句,意为“到目前为止”,例如: She ought to have arrived at her office by now.她现在本该到办公室了.虽然for可以引导表示原因的分句,但该分句要位于第一个分句之后,例如: I don't like him,for he always makes empty promises.我不喜欢他,因为他总是作一些空头许诺.
19.B【句意】她以来就开始抱怨。
【解析】句型“hardly(scarcely)…when”和“no sooner…than”表示“一……就”,例如:No sooner had he arrived home than he was asked to start on another journey.他刚到家就被要求做另一次旅行。Hardly had she agreed to marry him when she began to have serious doubts.她刚同意同他结婚,就开始产生严重的疑虑。Scarcely had he entered the room when the phone rang.他一进房间电话就响了。因此,B正确而C错误。由于主句谓语动词arrive要先于从句谓语动词start,因此从句使用一般过去时时,主句只能使用过去完成时,所以,D错误。not until或“not…until”意为“直到……才”,用来引导时间状语从句,例如: Not until midnight did they find their lost child.直到深夜他们才找到走失的孩子。根据句子结构,not until he arrived若用在这里,整个句子就没有主句了,犯了结构不完整的错误,因此,A也不是正确答案。
20.A【句意】他不可能来。
【解析】“There is no doing sth.…”或“There is not any doing sth.…”相当于 “It is impossible to do sth.…”,意为“做……是不可能的”,如:There is no knowing when he would be back.无法知道他什么时候回来.又如:There is not any telling what became of her.她出什么事了,无可奉告。
21.A【句意】和整个地球相比,世界上最高的山也不算高。
【解析】由于句子主语the highest mountain与动词compare是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此这里不能使用现在分词作状语,故D错误。有的学生认为可以将动词原形 compare用于祈使句,但是由于compare是及物动词,其后要跟宾语,而且由于在同一个句号前不可以出现两个既不是并列关系,也不是从属关系的句子,故B不是正确答案。when和while等连词引导时间状语从句时,当从句主语和主句主语一致,而且从句动词是be的形式时,可以将从句的主语和be的变化形式省略,A和C都符合这一规定,但是由于 compare和被省略掉的主语the highest mountain是逻辑上的动宾关系,故此处只能使用过去分词,例如:When deeply absorbed in what he was reading,which he often was,he forgot all other things.他常常聚精会神地读书,这时他就会把其他一切事情全忘掉。
22.B 【句意】我一知道发生了什么事,我就给你打电话。
【解析】as soon as引导时间状语从句时,从句中通常用一般时替代将来时,主句则用将来时。据此,可以排除 C。be going to do sth.虽也表示将来,但侧重“打算做某事,安排好做某事”,故D也应予以排除。A中的 does happen强调谓语,此处不合题意。B中的has happened强调某种结果,符合题意,因此B为正确答案。
23.C【句意】你需要的就是休息。
【解析】anything常用于疑问句和否定句。虽然something可用于肯定句中,但表示“某事,某物”之意。all在现代英语中可以作一个句子的主语、宾语或补语,但后面需接一个定语从句.在这种情况下,all可能有两个含义:一个相当于everything,另一个相当于the only thing(s)。根据句子结构,此处all作第二层意思讲。因此C为正确答案,A,B和D均不正确。
24.D【句意】尽管你的意见值得考虑,委员会认为它不值得重视。【解析】as可用来引导时间状语从句、方式状语从句和让步状语从句,分别意为“当……时候,随着……”,“正如”,“虽然,尽管”,该词引导让步状语从句时,从句要位于主句前,而且从句内容要倒装,例如:Successful as he is,he is not proud.他虽然成功了,却不骄傲。provided用来引导条件状语从句,意为“只要”,例如:I will lend you my book provided that you keep it clean.只要不把书搞脏,我会把书借给你.since t用来引导时间状语从句和原因状语从句,意为“自从;因为”,例如: He has written once since he left.他自去后曾来过一封信。连词while不但可以引导时间状语从句,而且还可以引导让步状语从句,作“尽管”讲,例如:English and French are living languages while Latin is dead.英语和法语是现在都有人说的语言,而拉丁语现在却没有人说了。
25.B【句意】考虑到你在学校里的成绩是如此之差,我们认为你应当努力学习。
【解析】in view of意为“考虑到,鉴于”,如:In view of his youth,the police have decided not to continue with the case against him.念在他年轻,警方决定不对他起诉.而in spite of作“尽管,不顾”讲,如: I went out in spite of the rain.尽管下雨,我仍然外出。in charge of意为“主管,掌管”,如。She is in charge of the work now.她目前掌管这一工作。in case of意为“假使,如果发生”,如: In case of fire,ring the alarm bell.万一有火情,请按警铃。
26.A【句意】其他条件相同的情况下,表达流畅的人要比语言能力差的人更容易成功。
【解析】从句子结构可以看出,本句的前面部分是表示条件的状语,other things being equal是一个分独立结构,可以作条件状语,如: Other things being equal,a shorter statement is preferred.其他条件相同的情况下,优先选用较短的陈述。除在极个别的情况下,分词作状语时,应与句子的主语存在一定的逻辑关系(主谓或动宾关系),否则该分词就应该有自己的逻辑主语或逻辑宾语,来构成“名词或代词 + 分词”结构,即独立分词结构,独立分词结构一般可置于句首,也可置于句末,用来表示原因、时间、条件、方式或伴随情况等,如:The experiment being over,the students began their discussion.做完实验,学生们开始讨论。Silver is the best conductor,copper following behind.银是最好的导体,铜次之。Were other things equal是虚拟语气条件从句,而后面的句子是陈述语气,To be equal to other things是不定式,可以作目的状语,但不能作条件状语,Other things to be equal这样的结构不存在,因此,正确答案是A。
27.D【句意】尽管他喜欢她,但他不能爱她。
【解析】though,although和as均可引导让步状语从句,作“即使,尽管”讲,as引导的让步状语从句必须使用倒装语序.如: Complex as is the orbit of the moon, it is possible to predict unerringly eclipses many years in advance of their occurrence.尽管月球的运行轨道很复杂,但是人们仍然能提前许多年准确无误地预报日(月)食。因此,A不对。although从句必须使用正常语序,所以 C不对。though既可用倒袋,也可用正常语序,故 D正确。尽管 B采用了倒装,但是 much放的位置不对,故也不是正确答案。
28.C【句意】喝过咖啡,Henry洗了被子放了起来。
【解析】after是介词,后需接动名词,而drunk是过去分词,因此D错误。英语中没有 have drinking sth.这一说法,所以 A也错误。B的结构虽然正确,但现在分词一般时作时间状语时,一般表示该动作与主句谓语动词表示的动作同时发生,因此B不合题意。C使用现在分词的完成时,表示该动作在主句谓语动词表示的动作以前发生,如:Having failed to qualify as a doctor,I took up teaching.我由于没能取得当医生的资格,便从事了教学工作.所以C为正确答案。
29.B【句意】不管是贫是福,我都会爱他。
【解析】be he rich or poor是让步状语从句,相当于whether he is rich or poor,如:All magnets behave the same, be they large or small.磁铁无论大小作用都是一样的。30.A【句意】尽管年纪还小,这个小女孩能够帮她母亲做些家务。
【解析】as可以引导让步状语从句时,可以把形容词、副词和名词提前,当名词提前时,不加冠词。语法词汇综合练习三 赵文通

1.B【句意】尽管是为小孩写的,但白雪公主的故事对许多成年人同样具有吸引力。
【解析】though可以引导让步状语从句,当从句的主语和主句的主语一致,而且从句的谓语动词是be的形式时,可将从句的主语和be的形式省略,如: Though born in Chicago,the writer wrote many stories about New York City.那位作家虽然生在芝加哥,却写了许多关于纽约的小说。因此B为正确答案。A中没有省略主语it,因而错误。C中过去分词短语后置,D中缺少从属连词,所以C和D也错误。2.B【句意】不论在什么地方,劳动号子以最基本的形式表现了这个民族的文化。
【解析】wherever用作连接副词,意为“无论在哪里”,引导一个让步状语从句,如:Wherever you go,you will always find the same thing.不论你走到哪里,你总会发现同样的事情。由此可见,B既符合语法又符合题意,为正确答案。A为一个分句,和下文之间缺少连接词,故不正确。C为现在分词短语,其中where后没接任何成分,不合语法,也不正确。D为一特殊疑问句,不符合整个句子结构,也应排除。3.D【句意】“有人在车祸中受了轻伤”,这说明受的伤是什么样的?
【解析】deadly意为“致命的,(可能)致死的”,如:Fog is one of the sailor's deadliest enemies.雾是水手的死敌之一。serious意为“严重的”,如: His illness is nothing serious.他的病一点也不严重。fatal意为“致命的,悲惨的”,如: They cyclist was knocked down by a lorry and received fatal injuries.那个骑自行车的人被卡车撞成重伤。原题中slightly意为“轻微地,不严重地”,据此可以看出正确答案应为D。4.A【句意】“你了解加拿大吗?”“不了解,我从来没有去过那里。”
【解析】过去完成时需有过去时间作参照,以表示出“过去的过去”这么一个概念,如: The train had left when I got to the station.我到达车站时,火车已经开走了。因此B和 D均不合适。have been to someplace和 have gone to someplace的区别在于:前者说明“去过某地,现在已不在那里了”;后者说明“已经去了某地,现在在那里或在去那里的路上,不在这里”。很显然,C有悖常识。故只能选A。5.B【句意】“还有人需要票去看看电影吗?”“你希望谁去?你、乔治还是我?”
【解析】我们首先将第二个句子改写为正常语序的句子: You would rather have whom go with you, George or me?我们就不难看出 go是省略了to的不定式,作宾语whom的补足语。6.C【句意】“还有双人桌吗?”我问道。服务员答道“这边清。”
【解析】“This way,please.”是用来给别人引路时的专门用语,意为“请这边走”。path,line和 road皆无此用法。
7.D 【句意】“这就是我答应给你的钱”,他说道,“我一直遵守诺言。”
【解析】agree一般为不及物动词,意为“同意,赞同”,常用于词组 agree with sb.或agree to a plan(suggestion),如:I don't agree with what you said.我不同意你的话。follow意为“听从,遵循,领会”,如: I regret not having followed your advice.我后悔没有听你的劝告。make a promise是固定搭配,意为“许诺”,如: He made a promise that he would come to help me with physics.他答应要来帮我学物理。而
30.A person who makes wise decisions has _______.keep a promise是“信守诺言”,如: One should keep his promise.人应该信守诺言。由此可见D为正确答案。
8.A【句意】“我希望你给我看些衣服。”这位顾客说道。
【解析】Show sb.sth.是固定搭配,意为“给某人看某物”, 如: Will you kindly show us that coat over there?请把那儿的上衣拿给我们看看好吗?see后面不能接双宾语,explain常用于explain sth.to sb.结构中,如: The teacher explained the text in detail to the students.老师详细地给学生讲解课文。provide用于provide sb.with sth.结构中,如:The Red Cross provides the orphans with food and clothes.红十字会给孤儿们提供衣食。
9.B【句意】“我不会去买那本书。”“我也不去,这本书太贵了。”
【解析】so和neither放在句首、且句子主谓倒装时,可以表示前一种情况也适合于后者,so用于肯定的情况,而neither则用于否定的情况。所以B正确而C错误.A不合适,因为A中的助动词和前面句子中的助动词不同。D也不正确,因为too作“也”讲时,一般用在肯定句中,而不用于否定句中。10.B【句意】“约翰现在不在这里,它可能从后门走了吗?”
【解析】句型 might have done表示对过去发生的可能性很小的推断,例如。A word of encouragement might have made me respect instead of hate him.一句鼓励的话或许就会使我尊敬他不是仇视他了。句型must have done表示对过去情况的肯定推断,意为“一定,想必”,例如: He must have forgotten to wind the clock last night,didn't he? 他昨晚准是忘记给表上弦了,不是吗?句型should have done表示“过去应该做但未做”,这是虚拟语气的一种特殊表达方式,例如:You should have snatched a free moment for writing a letter.你本应抽空写封信。
11.D【句意】“Michael今天早晨去了加利福尼亚。”“我以为他下周才来。”
【解析】英语中有些动词,如 go,arrive,get,come,leave,have等,可用其过去进行时来表示过去将来的动作,如: He said that he was arriving in ten minutes。他说 10分钟后就会赶到的。A为过去完成进行时,不符合题意,B和C的时态搭配错误,因而只有D是正确答案。12.A【句意】“直到科学变得重要起来,奴隶制度才被推翻。”有人说到。
【解析】如果选B,则主句中没有谓语动词;如选D,则会有两个从句,而没有主句,因此B和D都错误。如果选择A或C,直接引语部分构成一个主从复合句,根据句意,主句表示的动作发生在从句之后,因此,主句中的谓语动词也应使用一般过去时。例如: The greedy old woman ate and ate until she was full up.这个贪婪的老太婆不停地 吃,一直吃到很饱为止。另外,需要注意的是,当否定词或含有否定意义的词组位于句首作状语时,主谓颠倒。常见的否定词和具有否定意义的词组有:at no time, by no means, few, hardly in neither case, in no case, in no time, in no way, in vain, little, neither, never, no more, no sooner,nor,not,not once,not only,not until,on no account,rarely,scarcely,seldom,still less,under no condition,under no circumstances等,例如: Never in my life have l seen such a wonderful place.我一生中从来没见过如此美丽的地方。Not only was Churchill a statesman,but also a great writer。丘吉尔不但是一位政治家,而且也是一位伟大的作家。
13.B【句意】正如谚语所说,“说说是一码事,做起来又是一码事”。
【解析】as可作连词,引导方式状语从句,意为“正如„„,如同„„”,如: As luck would have it,I caught the last bus.幸运的是,我赶上了末班车。根据句子结构,这里需要一个连词引导从句,故A和D错误。for是并列连词,连接并列分句,用在此处也不会题意。
14.B【句意】“我们来晚了。戏剧已经开始了。我不知道是什么时候开始的。”
【解析】在这里关系副词短语how long ago引导的是一个宾语从句,因此从句中主谓不倒装。另外,在由“„ago”短语作状语的句子中,谓语动词一般要使用一般过去时,所以B是惟一正确答案。15.C【句意】“在哪可以找到Jim?”“他正忙着工作,直到下午六点钟才离开实验室。”
【解析】be at sth.是固定搭配,相当于 be busy with sth.或 be engaged in sth.,有“忙于„„”的意思。16.D 【句意】预算委员会所作报告的概要被送交市长等待审批。【解析】sketch意为“略述,纲要”,如: The speaker amused us with a sketch of city life in the 1890’s,讲演者给我们略述了19世纪90年代都市生活的概况,听起来很有意思。shorthand作“速记”讲,如:the secretary made shorthand notes.这位秘书作了速记。scheme意为“计划,方案”,如:He has contrived a scheme for the term's work.他已拟定了这个学期的工作计划.schedule作“日程表,时刻表,进度表”讲,如:Has he made the examination schedule yet?他把考试日程安排好了没有? 17.B 【句意】一种新的考试制度出现时,一种崭新的情况就会出现。
【解析】arise本意“起来,起身,升起”,作“出现,产生,发生”的意思讲时常用于抽象事物,如: The audience arose and remained standing.观众起身站着。rise意为“升起,上升,增高”,如: As the wind rose to eighty miles an hour,tree after tree crashed down.当风速升到每小时 80英里时,树一棵棵地倒了下来。raise意为“举起,增加,引起”,如:The scientists are developing a new machine to raise labor efficiency.科学家们正在研制一种新机器以提高劳动效率。arouse意为“唤醒,引起,激起”,是及物动词,后面一般限一个抽象名词作宾语,如:Chopin aroused very complicated emotions in her.肖邦的作品在她心中激起了异常复杂的感情。
18.A【句意】《红楼梦》据说在过去的十年中被翻译成了数十种语言。
【解析】本题旨在考查不定式的时态和语态。不定式的完成式表示不定式的动作在谓语动词的动作之前发生,如; He is said to have written a new book about workers.据说他又写了一本关于工人的书。当不定式的逻辑主语为该不定式所表示的动作的承受者时,不定式要用被动语态,如: It is an honor for me to be asked to make a speech here.我很荣幸应邀在这里演讲。根据句意我们知道,本句中的不定式的动作在谓语动词之前发生,又因为句子的主语与该不定式具有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以应用不定式的完成式,故A正确。C的时态不符合题意,D忽略了主语和不定式之间的逻辑关系,而B既不符合时态,又忽略了主语和不定式之间的逻辑关系、由此可见,B,C和D都不是正确答案。19.A【句意】在做出决定之前,我们急需要安排一次会议。
【解析】考察主语从句中虚拟语气的应用。当表语为important, urgent等形容词时,主语从句使用虚拟语气,形式为(should)+动词原形。20.C 【句意】没有人怀疑这是真的。
【解析】I doubt whether/if…我怀疑。I don’t doubt that …我毫不怀疑。又如:I doubt whether he can speak English.我怀疑他是否会说英语。21.B【句意】许多房子在地震中倒塌了。
【解析】a good many意为“相当多,很多”,后面要跟复数名词,谓语动词也应是复数形式,并且本句所讲述的是过去发生的动作,所以应用过去时。

【解析】根据句子结构,我们可以看出这里应使用独立分词结构。故D错误。由于动词work out和a new technique是逻辑动宾关系,故此处只能使用过去分词的独立结构或使用被动语态的现在分词独立结构,例如: Machines having been used,People do more work with less energy.由于使用了机器,人们就能用较少的力气,干较多的工作。
30.C【句意】一个做出明智决定的人一定有很强的判断力。
【解析】a good brain意为“很聪明”,如:He has such a good brain that he is quick at learning anything.他很聪明,学什么都快。a good intention 意为“好的意图”,good imagination意思是“丰富的想像力”,而good judgement则用来表了“判断力强”,如: He is a man of good judgement.他是一个判断力很强的人。根据句子结构及题意可知C为正确答案。

49.A应将tO make改成having made,这一句是说“他之前已经做过多次努力„„”。
50.B应该将was改成were。In the town提前,句子倒装,句子主语many old people需要跟复数的谓语动词。
51.D应把to play改成playing。enjoy doingsth.为固定搭配。
52.B应把she was改成was she。因为在So„that„句型中,如果So引导的是一个完整的句子,主谓需要倒装。
53.C应把increasingly改为increasing。修饰need这个名词应该用形容词,而increasingly是副词。
54.C应把more去掉。more和比较级不可同时用,比较级中多音节词前才需加more。
55.A应把has去掉。本句有明显的过去时标志性短语ten years ago,应用一般过去时,故直接用died即可。

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed , looked after and loved, whatever he may do.It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition , life is always presenting new things to the child————things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well————known.A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain , or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure.But a child has his pains : he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are :he is continually being told not to do things , or being punished for what he has done wrong.His life is therefore not perfectly happy.2、、、、How to Behave in an Interview如何应付面试
In order to make a good impression during a job interview , you need to prepare yourself for it.You must arrive in plenty of time for the interview , so that you give yourself a little time to relax before the interview begins.The impression you make as you walk into the room is very important.Try to find out if the company or organization has rules about dress.Then try to dress according to their regulations.You also need to plan what you are going to say.In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking , and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience.You need to have answers ready about yourself , your schoolwork , your strong points , your reasons for applying for the job , and the salary you expect.You will also be allowed to ask some questions.The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position.You can ask questions like these: What duties will I have to do in the job ? Does the company provide health insurance? Does the company provide opportunities for further education?3、、、、Supermarkets超市
People all over the world shop in supermarkets.When you enter supermarkets , you will see shelves loaded with goods.You will hear soft , light music as you walk along the aisles , Food in supermarkets seem to be very attractive.A large supermarket is a big business.In adition to food items , many other goods such as house wares , school supplies , toys , clothing , magazines and even books are sold in supermarkets.It is a place where housewives frequent.It tries to meet her needs so that when she leaves, she’ll shop nowhere else.Supermarkets are becoming more and more popular.There is no doubt about it ————more and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the check-in line.4、、、、Should College Students do Part-time Jobs? 大学生应当做业余兼职吗
Most students think that doing part-time jobs when studying at college can provide them with an opportunity to get in touch with the society.Also , some students do part-time jobs to support themselves.They are said to work through college.However , it’s not easy to find jobs which are suitable for students.Some jobs requiring long hours of tedious work under tough conditions may do harm to their health.Besides , some jobs may expose them to the negative aspects of society————dishonesty and corruption.Therefore, students should take a second thought in deciding whether they should do part-time jobs or what kind of jobs they should choose.If they are lucky enough to take a good job , it will benefit them enormously.Otherwise , it may waste their time and their energy.5、、、、A Reply to a Birthday Party 对参加生日聚会的回复
Dear Henry, Happy birthday to you!I got the invitation to your birthday party yesterday morning.Thanks so much for inviting me to join in your party.I tried hard to reschedule my activities, but I am sorry to tell you that I will not be able to join you.My boss and I have to leave for shanghai next week for an international trade affair.There is not any possibility of canceling it.I will go to see you as soon I am back I am sure you will have a great fun at the party!Sincerely yours, Jane6、、、、My View on E-mail我对电子邮件的看法
Electronic mail , or E-mail for short , is a new way of communication by means of computers.Fast , cheap and convenient, E-mail is so popular that it has become an indispensable means of communication.Millions of computers all over the word have been connected to form a global network, namely the Internet, You can send and receive by E-mail documents , letters and papers to anyone in other countries in no time.By using E-mail you can also store ,delete, compile information.In a word, E-mail helps you overcome spatial and time limitations in communication.With the rapidly growing popularity of computers and the expansion of information highway , E-mail is expected to play a more and more important role in our lives.7、、、、Living in a City-a Crazy Idea住在城市-疯狂的念头
Tired of the city life, some city-dwellers opt for city suburbs as their residence.They are flocking there to avoid people-in the city, wherever you look, it’s people , people, people.It’s not strange for them complain about the living conditions in the city.It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has virtually come to a standstill.The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed: an endless procession of human sardine tins.All the simple , good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium.Tall buildings blot out the sun.The flow of traffic goes on continuously and the noise never stops.Decades of years ago , people were crazy about crowding into the city.Now more and more people believe that only a madman would choose to live in a large modern city.8、、、、Career Hopping跳槽
Today , growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them.Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation.Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages.It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty and twenty-five change their lines of work.About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-for.Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines.Motives for changing careers vary widely , but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine.For some , a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing , and they decide to do what they enjoy.Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.9、、、、The Young and the old年青人与老年人
When the young man starts to earn his own living , he becomes free from discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities.He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes , and his room , but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child , he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health , he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy.With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and , perhaps best of all, they can , if their life has been a useful one , feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.10、、、、Electricity and our life电力与我们的生活
Since its invention , electricity has found wide applications in industry , agriculture and scientific research.it is so essential to our daily life that , without electricity , we could not enjoy modern comforts because home appliances would function.Without electricity , we could not cook food , wash clothes and watch TV.Roughly , there are three ways to save electricity.First , we should produce electricity-saving home appliances.Second , remember to turn off the light when you leave a room.Lastly , we should change our way of life.Avoid as much as possible the “artificial life ” powered by electricity.11、、、、Turn off your mobile phone关掉你的手机
With the development of information technology and reduced price of communication products, the mobile phone has become a necessity for people.It is obvious that it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient.Thanks to it , it’s easy for us to contact others anytime and anywhere.However, have you noticed that the mobile phone also brings embarrassment to people? It’s not rare to see people pressing the mobile phone to his ear and shouting loudly in public as if there were no one else present.It is more than likely that you have noticed that the mobile phones ring continuously on a formal occasion.People around them have to listen to the noise and they can’t concentrate on what they’re doing 12、、、、A healthy lifestyle健康的生活方
Dear James, I am glad to get your letter.Do you still feel stressful? As far as I know , a lot of people live in a way that is wearing themselves out.In fact , life doesn’t have to be like that.It is wise to bear an important principle in your mind ————————managing time.To make it simple , decide what you want in your life, and put that first.Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life, just do it!Take a nap, or a walk.Take time to play the piano.Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office.Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs.Anyhow, we should do something for ourselves.I hope you can manage your life!Stay cool!
Yours faithfully,Linda 13、、、、Education-preparation for society教育————————为走上社会作准备
Education is not an end, but a means to an end.In other words, we do not educate children for the purpose of educating them;our purpose is to fit them for life.Because of the development in modern education, many people avail of the opportunities to receive college education.But there are not enough positions for people with university degrees.Besides, some graduates refuse to do what they think “low” jobs————work with hands is thought to be indecent.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us should do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, that we must realize that all jobs are necessary to society.14、、、、Making a phone call or writing a letter打电话还是写信
When there is a need to communicate with people, we either make a phone call or write a letter,.Some people like making a phone call while others prefer writing a letter.The advantage of phoning is evident.It is handy and fast.We can contact whomever we want to and talk with him right away.By making phone calls, people can discuss things as if they were in the same room.However, there are still some people who prefer to write letters.There is no doubt that letters are less expensive than long-distance calls.Besides it is a better choice for those who are not good at expressing themselves orally.However, it takes days, even weeks for a letter to reach its destination.Both making a phone call and writing a letter are effective means of communication.It seems advisable to make use of them both on different occasions.15、、、、A letter of application应聘信
Dear sir: I was pleased to see your ad in the newspaper on December 25th for a sales engineer.In July I will receive my bachelor’s degree in Electronic from Nanjing University, and I would like to be considered for the post.I believe I am a competitive candidate for your post because both my education and work experience meet your requirement.Besides degree courses concerning electronics, I also took such courses as marketing, Consumer Behavior Strategies.Last summer, I participated in an electronic project, from which I have gained practical experience in this field.I would welcome an opportunity to join your company because your post is what I’ve been preparing for.If you feel that I might be the right person for the job I would be ready for an interview at your convenience.I am looking forward to your reply!Sincerely yours, Zhou Fang 16、、、、A letter of complaint投诉信
Dear sir: I am writing to complain about one of your bus drivers, who was so rude to the passengers.Yesterday, I was taking the bus No.133 to school.It was about 9:30 in the morning.It was not the rush-hour and there were not many passengers on the bus.But the driver drove so fast and he didn’t slow down even when the bus turned round street corners.One of the passengers asked him to drive slowly but he did not listen.When the bus reached the next stop, a man stood up and walked toward the door.The driver stopped the bus so suddenly that the man could not keep his balance and fell on the floor.The driver didn’t make an apology and asked him to get off the bus right away.I think that public bus system should serve the public whole-heartedly.The safety of passengers should be the major concern.It is my sinc 17、、、、My favorite mode of travel我喜欢的旅行方式
With the improvement of people’s living standards, more and more people are making a holiday trip to places of interest.While many like to join package tours for convenience’s sake, I prefer to travel by myself.I like traveling on my own not only because it costs less but because it gives me freedom.Traveling on my own, I’m my own boss and can decide when to start or where to linger I can adjust my own plan.By contrast, in a package tour you’re deprived of such freedom as you are supposed to follow the agenda of the tour team.True, you may encounter inconveniences if you travel along;getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals might give you headaches.But nothing can be compared with freedom————the freedom which is vital to a preson who takes a holiday trip to be free from constrains of the routine life.Liu Yuan
