21. I have no dreams ____ to have a happy life.
A. rather than B. more than C. other than D. less than
other than 的意思是除了而rather than的意思是而不是
22. —Ms Lin looks rather a kind lady. —But in fact she is cold and hard on us. You ____believe it!
A. shouldn’t B. wouldn’t C. mustn’t D.needn’t
本题主要考查情态动词的意义和用法。选项A表示建议;选项B表示推测;选项C表示禁止;选项D表示需求。根据句子的意思,本题正确答案为B。
23. I’d try even if I may fail ___ __ sit there worrying in time of trouble.
A. rather than B. other than C. more than D. less than
A 考查than短语。rather than :而不是。
24. He ran as fast as he could _____ to catch the bus.
A. hope B. to hope C. hoping D. hoped
此题的最佳答案不是B,而是C,其中的现在分词短语hoping to catch the bus用做伴随状语,即一边跑一边希望能赶上汽车。但是,如果选B,将to hope to catch the bus视为目的状语行不行呢?不行。因为“他拼命地跑”目的是“为了赶上公共汽车”,而不是“为了希望赶上公共汽车”,换句话说,将“希望”作为“目的”不妥。因为同样的原因,下面一题也应选hoping:He studied as hard as he could _____ to enter a good college.
A. hope B. to hope C. hoping D. hoped
25. He had a lot of friends, none of _____ could lend him any money.
A. whom B. them C. which D. who
此题选A,none of whom could ... 为非限制性定语从句
对比:He had a lot of friends, but none of _____ could lend him any money.
A. whom B. them C. which D. who
此题选B,由于句中有并列连词 but,整个句子为并列句,因此选them
He wrote a lot of novels, none of _____ translated into a foreign language.
A. them B. which C . it D. what
同学们看了上面一题的分析后,也许会毫不犹豫地认为此题应选 B,理由是none前没有并列连词 and 或 but,但这次又错了。此题的最佳选项应是A,注意此句与上面一句有着本质的不同,即此句的 translated 不是谓语,而是一个非谓语动词(过去分词),所以逗号后面其实不是一个完整的句子,而是一个独立结构。假若在 translated 前加一个助动词 was,则此题应选(which),构成一个非限制性定语从句。所以做这类题要特别小心,千万不要想当然,更不要受思维定势的影响。
26. I met several people there, two of _____were foreigners.
A. whom B. them C. who D. which
此题选A,two of whom were foreigners 为非限制性定语从句
对比:I met several people there, two of _____ being foreigners.
A. whom B. them C. who D. which
题选B,two of them being foreigners 不是一个完整的句子,因为句子没有谓语,而只有非谓语动词 being
27. She may have missed the train, in _____ case she won't arrive for another hour.
A. whose B. that C. which D. what
此题容易误选 A,因为不少同学认为在定语从句中能用做定语的关系代词的只有 whose。其实除 whose 可用做定语外,which 也可用做定语,只是含义上有差别:在此情况下,whose 的意思相当于one's,而 which 的意思则相当于 that 或 this。比较: (1) This is Mary, whose [= and her] father we met last week.
(2) Call again at 11, by which time [= and by that time] the meeting should be over.
注:若27题中的逗号前如果有连词 and,则可选 B(that)。
28. According to the rules, students must not _____ their books during examinations.
A. read B. watch C. notice D. look at
此题容易误选A,因为许多同学牢牢地记住了:看书看报用read,看电视用watch,看电影用see,看比赛用watch,看黑板用look at,等等。以上说法并没有错,但问题是,以上句子有其特殊性。一般说来,汉语的“看书”至少有两层意思,一是指阅读性地看书,即看书=读书,此时通常用动词read;另一种看书则不是指阅读性地看书,而只是大概地翻一翻或看一看,比如看看书的封面、定价、内容提要等,或者回答问题时看看书的某些章节或字句以及考试时偷看书本等等,此时通常都不宜用动词read,而应根据情况选用其他动词(如look at)。又如:Let me have a look at the book.让我看看或翻翻这本书。
Please answer my questions without looking at your books.请不看书回答我的问题。
29. _____ with a good education can apply for the job.
A. Who B. Whoever C. Anyone D. Who ever
此题题选C,介词短语with a good education为修饰anyone的定语
30. _____ seen smoking here will be fined. A. Who B. Whoever C. Anyone D. Who ever
题选C,过去分词短语seen smoking here为修饰anyone的定语(可视为anyone who is seen smoking here之省略)
