選項(xiàng)A，“as”意思是“隨著”，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句時(shí)，表示兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)進(jìn)行或一前一后，句意為“隨著有人拍了拍他的肩膀，他正要告訴我那個(gè)秘密”，句意不通順，所以選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤。選項(xiàng)B，“until”意思是“直到”，通常用于否定句中，表示“直到……才”，句意為“他正要告訴我那個(gè)秘密，直到有人拍了拍他的肩膀”，句子沒有否定詞，所以不能用“until”，故選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤。選項(xiàng)C，“while”意思是“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句時(shí)，從句的謂語動(dòng)詞必須是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，表示主句的動(dòng)作在從句動(dòng)作的發(fā)生的過程中或主從句兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生，而本句“patted”為短暫性動(dòng)詞，所以不能用“while”，故選項(xiàng)C錯(cuò)誤。選項(xiàng)D，“wasabouttodo…when…”為固定句型，意思是“正要……突然……”，句意為“他正要告訴我那個(gè)秘密，突然有人拍了拍他的肩膀”，符合語境，所以選項(xiàng)D正確。2、—WillthebookbeavailableintimeforChristmas?Yes,_____advancepaymentismade.A.sinceB.untilC.ifD.unless答案：C解析：本題考查連詞辨析。題干的意思是：“——這本書圣誕節(jié)前會(huì)到貨嗎？——是的，_____提前付款。”

選項(xiàng)A，“since”的意思是“自從”，通常用于表示某一時(shí)間點(diǎn)的開始，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，本句沒有表示時(shí)間點(diǎn)的詞，所以“since”不符合題意。選項(xiàng)B，“until”的意思是“直到”，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，表示某一動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)一直持續(xù)到另一動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)開始為止，但是本句想表達(dá)的是“如果提前付款，書就會(huì)到貨”，而不是“直到提前付款，書才會(huì)到貨”，所以“until”不符合題意。選項(xiàng)C，“if”的意思是“如果”，引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，表示某一條件與可能的結(jié)果之間的關(guān)系，用在此處表示“如果提前付款，書就會(huì)到貨”，符合語境，所以選項(xiàng)C正確。選項(xiàng)D，“unless”的意思是“除非”，表示只有在特定條件不滿足的情況下，某一結(jié)果才會(huì)發(fā)生，用在此處則表示“除非提前付款，否則書不會(huì)到貨”，這與句意相反，所以選項(xiàng)D錯(cuò)誤。3、______withthesizeofthewholeearth,thehighestmountaindoesnotseemhighatall.A.WhencomparedB.CompareC.WhilecomparingD.Whencomparing

Answer:A

Explanation:本題考查非謂語動(dòng)詞的用法。句意：當(dāng)和整個(gè)地球相比時(shí)，最高的山看起來一點(diǎn)也不高。根據(jù)句意可知，句子主語thehighestmountain與compare之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過去分詞作狀語，表示被動(dòng)和完成。when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句的省略形式為：When+過去分詞+其他，所以選項(xiàng)A正確。B項(xiàng)compare是謂語動(dòng)詞，而句子已有謂語動(dòng)詞doesnotseem，所以不能用謂語動(dòng)詞，排除B項(xiàng)；C項(xiàng)Whilecomparing是現(xiàn)在分詞短語，表示主動(dòng)和進(jìn)行，不符合題意；D項(xiàng)Whencomparing是省略了主語和助動(dòng)詞的狀語從句，但compare與句子主語thehighestmountain是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，不能用現(xiàn)在分詞，排除D項(xiàng)。4、Hewillcometohelpusifit_______convenienttohim.A.isB.willbeC.hasbeenD.wouldbe

Answer:A

Explanation:本題考查條件狀語從句的時(shí)態(tài)。句意：如果對(duì)他來說方便的話，他會(huì)來幫助我們的。在if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句中，如果主句是一般將來時(shí)，從句用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)替代一般將來時(shí)，也就是常說的“主將從現(xiàn)”。本句主句是“Hewillcometohelpus”，從句應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，且主語it是第三人稱單數(shù)，所以從句的謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)形式is，選項(xiàng)A正確。選項(xiàng)B“willbe”是一般將來時(shí)，選項(xiàng)C“hasbeen”是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，選項(xiàng)D“wouldbe”是過去將來時(shí)，均不符合題意，均可排除。5、_____Iknowher,sheishonest.A.AsfarasB.AslongasC.AswellasD.AssoonasAnswer:A

Explanation:“AsfarasIknow”是固定短語，意為“據(jù)我所知”。在這個(gè)句子中，它用于表達(dá)說話人對(duì)于她誠(chéng)實(shí)的了解程度。其他選項(xiàng)的意思分別是：B.“只要”；C.“和…一樣好”；D.“一…就…”。這些選項(xiàng)在此上下文中都不合適。6、She_____herhomeworkwhenhermothercameback.A.hasdoneB.haddoneC.wasdoingD.isdoingAnswer:C

Explanation:句子描述了一個(gè)過去的具體時(shí)間點(diǎn)（媽媽回來的時(shí)候）正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，即她正在做作業(yè)。因此，應(yīng)該使用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)（was/were+doing）。選項(xiàng)A的“hasdone”是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，表示動(dòng)作已經(jīng)完成；選項(xiàng)B的“haddone”是過去完成時(shí)，表示過去的過去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作；選項(xiàng)D的“isdoing”是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，表示現(xiàn)在正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作。只有選項(xiàng)C符合題意。7、_____yourfather_______yourmotherknowsJapanese,soyoucanaskeitherofthemforhelp.A.Either;orB.Neither;norC.Both;andD.Notonly;butalsoAnswer:D

Explanation:本題考查連詞短語的用法。句意是：“你父親和你母親都懂日語，所以你可以向他們中的任何一個(gè)人求助?！备鶕?jù)句意可知，此空表示“不僅……而且……”的意思，所以選項(xiàng)D“Notonly;butalso”符合題意。選項(xiàng)A“Either;or”表示“要么……要么……”，不符合語境；選項(xiàng)B“Neither;nor”表示“既不……也不……”，表示兩者都不，與句意不符；選項(xiàng)C“Both;and”表示“兩者都”，但是句子中的謂語動(dòng)詞knows是第三人稱單數(shù)形式，所以主語不能用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故排除。8、Hehasalreadyfinished_______thebook.A.readB.readingC.toreadD.readsAnswer:B

Explanation:本題考查固定搭配的用法。句意是：“他已經(jīng)讀完了這本書?！备鶕?jù)句意可知，此空是表達(dá)“完成做某事”的意思，需要使用固定搭配“finishdoingsth.”，所以選項(xiàng)B“reading”符合題意。選項(xiàng)A“read”是動(dòng)詞原形，不能用于“finish”后；選項(xiàng)C“toread”是不定式形式，通常用于表示目的或?qū)?，不適用于此句；選項(xiàng)D“reads”是動(dòng)詞的第三人稱單數(shù)形式，用于主語為第三人稱單數(shù)的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，不適用于此句。9、_____wecan’tgetseemsbetterthan_____wehave.A.What;whatB.What;thatC.That;thatD.That;whatAnswer:AExplanation:Inthissentence,thefirstblankneedsarelativepronounthatservesasthesubjectoftheclause“wecan’tget.”“That”cannotserveasasubjectinarelativeclause,soitiseliminated,leaving“what”asthecorrectchoice.Forthesecondblank,weneedapronounthatcanserveastheobjectoftheverb“have.”“What”canfunctionasbothasubjectandanobjectinaclause,while“that”usuallyservesasasubjectoracomplement.Therefore,“what”istheappropriatechoicehere,makingthecompletesentence“Whatwecan’tgetseemsbetterthanwhatwehave.”10、Themedicine,if____properly,cancuremanykindsofdiseases.A.takingB.totakeC.takenD.takeAnswer:CExplanation:Thissentenceinvolvesaconditionalclauseusing“if,”followedbyapastparticiple,whichisaformoftheverbthatindicatesacompletedorpassiveaction.Thesubjectofthemainclause,“Themedicine,”isalsothelogicalsubjectoftheactiondescribedintheconditionalclause,“if____properly.”Sincethemedicineisbeingactedupon(i.e.,taken),thepastparticiple“taken”isused,indicatingthepassivevoice.Thisresultsinthesentence“Themedicine,iftakenproperly,cancuremanykindsofdiseases.”Theotheroptionsdonotfitgrammaticallyorlogicallyinthiscontext.“Taking”istheactivepresentparticiple,“totake”istheinfinitive,and“take”isthebaseformoftheverb,noneofwhichconveytheintendedmeaningorgrammaticalstructure.11、_____youmaybe,youshouldbehumbletoothers.A.WhoeverB.WhomeverC.WhateverD.However
