6.
He is__that I′d like to introduce him to you.?
  • A.such noble person
  • B.so noble person
  • C.such a noble person
  • D.so a noble person

参考答案C

解析So和such都可修饰单数可数名词,但是形式上略有不同:So+形容词+a(an)+名词,而such+a(an)+形容词+名词。注意其中冠词的位置。
7.
--Have you seen Jack and John?--I haven′t seen__________of them.
  • A.neither
  • B.Any
  • C.either
  • D.all

参考答案C

解析表示二者的“都”或“任何一位”用neither或either排除B项和D项。谓语动词已经否定,C项是正确的。句意为:“一你看见杰克和约翰了吗?一他们两个我都没看见。”
8.
Children should be taught how to get along with___.
  • A.Another
  • B.other
  • C.others
  • D.any other

参考答案C

解析这道题考查易混词的用法。other表示“其他的”,使厢时,其后接名词。other有复数形式;特指时在其前加定冠词:前面可加任何限定词以及数量词。others是other的复数形式,意思是“另外的人(物),其他的人(物)”;another表示“另外一个”,表示单数泛指的意思;any other的意思是“别的”,与所指或特指的一个或一些不同的人或者物。根据题意,可知本题应该选择C项。句意为:“孩子们应该被教会如何与他人相处。”
9.
Had he worked harder,he__the exams.
  • A.must have got through
  • B.would have got through
  • C.would get through
  • D.could get through

参考答案B

解析从句是一个省略if的条件句,表示对过去事实的假设,用虚拟语气。
10.
Twenty miles__a long way to cover.
  • A.have been
  • B.is
  • C.are
  • D.were

参考答案B

解析表示重量、金钱、长度、距离类的名词作主语,不论是否加S,都被当作第三人称单数。
11.
__man is__reasoning animal.
  • A.The;a
  • B./;/
  • C./;a
  • D.The;the

参考答案C

解析此题考查冠词的用法。通过对句意分析可知,第一个空格不是指一个人,而是人这类动物,因此不用加任何冠词,而第二个空格则表示“一种”,因此填a。
12.
In 2008,27 people were arrested becauseof the contaminated(有毒的)milk powder__
  • A.incident
  • B.accident
  • C.event
  • D.occurence

参考答案A

解析考查名词辨析。句意为:“在2008年,有27人因有毒奶粉事件而被捕。”incident“大事件”;accident“偶发事件”;event“项目,一般事情”;occurence“偶发事件”。由句意可知选A项。
13.
__that your son is well again,you no longer have anything to worry about.
  • A.When
  • B.After
  • C.Before
  • D.Now

参考答案D

解析now that是一个连词,意为“既然”,引导原因状语从句。
14.
What we must do now__make a careful investigation on the circumstances.
  • A.are
  • B.is
  • C.is to
  • D.were to

参考答案C

解析本句的主语是what we must do now,这是一个表示单数的主语从句,而空格后是一个动词短语,因此选择C项。即动词不定式作表语。
15.
Eat as many vegetables as possible,for they are rich__iron.
  • A.of
  • B.in
  • C.with
  • D.for

参考答案B

解析be rich in意为“富含……,在……(方面)富有,是固定搭配。
16.
Open the window,__?
  • A.do you
  • B.don't you
  • C.will you
  • D.won't you

参考答案C

解析祈使句的反意疑问句,疑问部分用will you。C项是正确的。句意为:“打开窗户,好吗?”
17.
We couldn′t eat in a restaurant because__of us had__money on us.
  • A.all;no
  • B.any;no
  • C.none;any
  • D.no one;any

参考答案C

解析从前半句提供的信息来看,后半句应该是一个完全否定句,而A项中由all引导的句子是不完全否定的句子,即"不全都……”,应予以排除。
18.
Five minutes earlier,__we could have caught the last train.
  • A.of
  • B.but
  • C.and
  • D.so

参考答案C

解析两个分句之间不存在转折和因果的逻辑关系,因此用and表示结果,意为“那么”。
19.
Bill looked around for a participant__
  • A.making friends
  • B.to make friends
  • C.to make friends with
  • D.made friends

参考答案C

解析根据句意,可知空格处应为句子的目的状语,而动词不定式短语常常用作目的状语。此外需要注意的是,其中动词的搭配必须完整。
20.
The police chief ordered that parking__on Main Street during the rush hour.
  • A.be prohibited
  • B.be prohibiting
  • C.is prohibited
  • D.was prohibited

参考答案A

解析这道题考查虚拟语气的用法。当句中出现表示“命令、建议、要求”等含义的谓语动词时,其后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气,即“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。同时,要意这道题要用被动语态,因此为“(should)+be+过去分词”,答案为A项。
21.
