speak“口中说出话语,说话”;talk“融洽地说话,谈话”;say“发出声音说出来;
说”;tell“对人说话,告知”。speak和say的区别:speak是“使用语言”,say是“说出语言”。所以speak English.是“说英语”,而say English是“说出‘英语’这个词”。

来时,例如:That he will refuse the offer is unlikely.(他拒绝这项建议的可能性不大)。It is unlikely that enough workers will be found if there is no substantial improvement in salaries and working conditions.(如果工资不大幅度增加,工作条件得不到改善.就不大可能找到足够的工人)。
57. B
【解析】be entitled to是固定用法,意思是“有权(做)……,有资格(接受)……”,to是介词,后面跟名词或名词性成分。又因为动词respect和句子主语是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以此处需要被动的动名词形式。
58. C
【解析】动名词作主语,表示某个一般性的动作,或表示说话者的亲身经历。例如:Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself.(思想是灵魂在同自己交谈)。Learning in old age is like writing on sand; learning in youth is like engraving on stone.(年老时学习就像在沙上写字,年轻时学习就像在石上刻字)。
59. C
【解析】have后面既可跟不带to的动词不定式作宾补,又可跟现在分词作宾补,还可跟过去分词作宾补,但意义不同,例如:I had him fill out a form.(我叫他填了一张表),此处,不带to的动词不定式作宾补强调动作的全过程。He had us laughing all through the meal.(他使我们在吃饭过程中自始至终笑个不停),此处,现在分词作宾补强调分词的动作正在进行。I really must have my watch repaired.(我真得修修表了),此处,过

61. C
【解析】过去分词的独立主格结构,即“with + 名词或代词 + 过去分词”。在该结构中,过去分词和名词或代词是逻辑上的动宾关系。这种结构可以用作状语,表示原因、时间、条件、方式或伴随情况等。例如:Everything prepared, they set off.(一切准备就绪,他们就出发了);The assembling of the machine completed, we started operating it.(机器安装完毕,我们就开始操作);The wire well insulated, we can use it here.(既然导线已经很好地绝缘了,我们就可把它用在这里);With all the pipes blocked, no water can get out of the system.(管道全部封闭,水就漏不出来了)。

must do sth.用来发出有力的劝告或命令,例如:You must be here before 8 o’clock at the latest.(最晚你必须八点以前到这里)。
64. A
【解析】根据“must + have done”可表示对过去事情的肯定推测,是对过去事情的陈述。连词or在这里作“否则”讲,相当于otherwise,用来引导出一个与已经陈述过的事实相反的情况作为条件的虚拟结果,例如:Take a taxi, or you would miss your train.(如果不叫出租车,你就赶不上火车了)。We must run, or we’ll be late.(我们得跑着去,要不就太晚了)。
65. D
【解析】may have done sth.意为“可能做了某事”。

66. A
【解析】与名词proposal相关的名词性从句中要使用虚拟语气,例如:It was Jack’s proposal that she return to competition, perhaps by Wimbledon in June.(杰克建议她在6月份举行的温布尔登网球公开赛之前就重返赛场)。They presented a proposal that all workers be given free medical care.(他们提议所有的工人都应享受免费医疗)。
67. A
【解析】按照后面一句的意思来推测,前面讲的是:“你已经做完了全部计算,而这是没有必要的”。needn’t have done sth.表示的正是这一意思。
must not表示“不可以”,后面一般不接完成式。shouldn’t have done sth.意为“本来不应该做某事反而做了”,含有责备之意。can’t have done sth.表示不可能做某事,表示对过去事情的否定推测,是must have done sth.的否定形式,例如:They can’t have finished the work so soon.(这项工作他们不可能完成得这么快)。He can’t have gone to Beijing, for I saw him just now.(他不可能去了北京,刚才我还看见他了)。
68. B
【解析】now that是复合连词,意为“既然,由于”,例如: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。
69. A
【解析】“It’s…before”句型表示“(……之后)才……”之意,例如:It was several weeks before I got a decent night’s rest.(几星期以后我才得以好好地睡了一夜)。
until意为“直到……为止”,在否定句中多译为“直到……才”,该词一般不用在“it is…until”(肯定)句型中。例如:They talked on until one o’clock in the morning.(他们一直谈到凌晨一点钟)。“It is (has been)…since”句型表示“自……以来已有……时间了”,例如:It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time.(电视开始主宰美国人的空闲时间至今也不过才25年)。when通常表示“在……时”。
70. B
【解析】当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,neither用于否定的情况。too作“也”讲时,一般用在肯定句中,而不用于否定句中。
71. A
【解析】本题测试虚拟条件将来时,省略if用倒装句形式。在虚拟条件句中be动词多用were,很少用was。
72. C
【解析】动词mind“介意”后面要求跟ing形式,如果ing的施动者是句子主语本身,就用ing;如果ing的施动者是另一个人,可用下列句式:mind him/his + ing;mind if…。
73. D
【解析】be said to“据说”后面可以跟不定式完成式,表示句子主语在谓语be said动作发生之前已经做过某事;跟不定式一般式表示经常性的动作;跟不定式进行式表示与谓语动作同时进行的动作;跟不定式完成进行式表示在谓语所表达的时间之前一段时间以来一直在进行的动作。究竟应选用哪种形式要视句中的时间状语和上下文的逻辑意义而定。后面可以跟不定式完成式的句式还有:be supposed to / be reported to / be to / be sorry to / intended to / planned to / would like to / seem to / claim to等。
74. D
【解析】本题是虚拟语气过去时,又称非真实条件句过去时,其中的条件状语从句用过去完成时,主句谓语用would/could/might have + 过去分词。由于本句用了would have come,就应选含有过去完成时的条件句。相反,如果题中给出了含有过去完成时的条件句,就应选含有would/could/might + 完成式表示结果的主句。
75. C
【解析】all修饰专有名词时有两种表达法,如all China或all of China。whole不能直接与专有名词连用,如不能说whole China或the whole China,而必须用the whole of + 专有名词结构。
76. B
【解析】appreciate“感激”后面要求跟名词或动名词作宾语。如果动名词的施动者是主语本身,后面就直接跟动名词;如果主语是受动者,则需用现在分词的被动式,如:I appreciate being invited to your birthday party.;如果动词的动作是由另一人发出而又需点明施动者时,则需用表示施动者的名词所有格或物主代词修饰动名词。
77. C
【解析】本题测试虚拟语气过去时。
78. D
【解析】suggest的宾语从句谓语需用虚拟语气(should)+动词原形。要求宾语从句谓语用虚拟语气的这类动词还有:insist / demand / recommend / urge / request / propose / advise / require / order / move / ask / desire / decide / determine / arrange等。
79. A
【解析】本题测试的是一般现在时的用法之一:凡表述永恒的真理或客观规律的情况均用一般现在时而不管主句谓语用的是什么时态。
80. C
【解析】must have done用以推断过去某个时间或到说话时为止的一段时间内必定
发生了某事。在这种句子中必须有一个表示过去某个时间的时间状语或根据上下文可以明确判定谈论的是过去。
81. D
【解析】so long as可作“只要”讲,引导条件状语从句。
as soon as意为“一……就……”,引导时间状语从句;as well as则作“不仅……而且……,既……又……”讲;so far as一般用在“so far as…be concerned”中,意为“就……而论”。
82. C
【解析】and so forth表示“……等等,……一类”,虽然etc. (et cetera)也表示“……等等”,但用法与and so forth不同:etc.前面不能有and,因为在拉丁语中et就相当于英语的and。另外需注意的是,在列举人名时不宜用etc.(可以用et al)。与and so forth具有相同意思的词组还有and so forward,and the like,and others,and so on等。
83. B
【解析】“too…to…”结构表示“太……以至于不能……”,相当于“so…that + 否定式谓语”,例如:He is too young to join the army.(他太小了,不能参军)。这个句子可改写为:He is so young that he can’t join the army.。上述例句中不定式的逻辑主语十分清楚。有时在too后面常使用不定式的复合结构(即for sb. to do sth.)。例如:I think the text is too long for you to recite.(我认为课文太长了,你背不了)。
84. C
【解析】such as引导出同位语,对名词起列举作用,例如:Romance languages, such as French and Spanish, are spoken in Latin America.(罗曼语,如法语、西班牙语等,通行于拉丁美洲)。so as to相当于in order to,引导的不定式用作目的状语,意为“为了,以便于”,例如:Metallic surface should be greased so as to decrease friction.(金属表面必须涂上油脂,以减少摩擦)。as for作“至于……,就……而言”讲,放在句首相当于“as far as…be concerned”,例如:As for this kind of rare metal, it will be further studied.(对这种稀有金属要作进一步的研究)。so long as或as long as可以引导条件状语从句,表示“只要……”,例如:As long as you keep away from him, you are safe.(只要你不和他掺和在一起,你就会很安全)。
85. C
【解析】根据句子结构,此处是非限制性定语从句,which在此处引导一个非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子。
that不能引导非限制性定语从句。what作关系代词,相当于“that which;the thing which”,可以引导名词性从句但不能引导定语从句。as虽也可以引导定语从句,但多和such或the same连用,如:Such people as knew Tom thought he was a talented young man.(认识汤姆的人都认为他是一个有才华的青年)。
86. B
【解析】such as to后跟不定式,引出结果状语,作“如此……以致……”讲,例如:The force of explosion was such as to break the windows.(爆炸的威力很大,能震坏窗子)。The problem is such as to interest only a few people.(这样的问题只能使少数
人感兴趣)。
87. D
【解析】当and用来连接一个祈使句和一个其谓语动词中有will,would,can,could等情态动词的陈述句时,and前一般用逗号,它前面的祈使句表示条件,相当于条件状语从句,例如:Work harder, and we will complete the bridge ten days ahead of schedule.(如果更努力些,我们就可以提前10天建成这座桥)。有时候,and前用一个名词或名词词组,也可起到同样的作用,例如:A few months more, and the hydra-electric station will be generating electricity.(再过几个月,这座水电站就可以发电了)。
88. B
【解析】句型“such…that”表示“如此……以至于”,that引导出结果状语从句。例如:Justice is such a fine thing that we cannot pay too dearly for it.(正义十分珍贵,乃无价之宝)。When truth is buried, it grows, it chokes, it gathers such explosive force that on the day it breaks out, it blows everything up with it.(当真理被埋没时,它在生长,它受到窒息,它积聚了巨大的爆发力,当它爆发的那一夫,它把一切都炸得粉碎)。
89. C
【解析】引导方式状语从句的连词just as有时可放在句首,主句前常加so与之呼应,构成固定搭配,以加强语气,而且主句也可以倒装,意为“正如……,……也一样”,例如:
Just as food is to man, so manure is to crops.(正如人需要食物一样,庄稼也需要养料)。Just as air is to man, so is water to fish.(空气之于人,犹如水之于鱼)。Just as fire tries gold, so does adversity try virtue.(烈火炼真金,逆境验美德)。
而“just as…as”表示“和……一样”,例如:He is just as clever as any other boy.(他完全和其他男孩一样聪明)。thus只用作副词,意为“如此,这样,因而,从而”;like用作介词,意为“像……”,它们都不用来引导句子。例如:We have run out of oil. Thus, we should turn to other forms of energy.(我们已用尽了石油,因此,需要转向其他能源)。It looks like gold.(这东西看起来像是金子)。
90. D
【解析】根据句中的时间状语“for some time”,空格上的时态可有两种选择:现在完成时与现在完成进行时。
91. C
【解析】此处考查的是过去分词的独立主格结构,即“with + 名词或代词 + 过去分词”。在该结构中,过去分词和名词或代词是逻辑上的动宾关系。这种结构可以用作状语,表示原因、时间、条件、方式或伴随情况等。例如:Everything prepared, they set off.(一切准备就绪,他们就出发了)。The assembling of the machine completed, we started operating it.(机器安装完毕,我们就开始操作)。The wire well insulated, we can use it here.(既然导线已经很好地绝缘了,我们就可把它用在这里)。With all the pipes blocked, no water can get out of the system.(管道全部封闭,水就漏不出来了)。
92. C
【解析】句型“would rather do sth. than do sth.”。例如:Mr. Delay would rather resign than get himself involved in the dirty dealings.(德勒先生宁愿辞职,也不愿卷入这几桩肮脏的交易中)。He’d rather join you in research work than go on holidays to the seaside, wouldn’t he? (他宁愿和你们一起参加研究工作,也不愿去海滨度假,不是吗?)。
93. B
【解析】ought to do sth.和should do sth.意为“应该做某事”,多用来提出劝告,例如:You should (ought to) go and see Mary sometime.(你应该抽时间去看看玛丽)。ought to have done sth.意为“本应该做完某事”,用来谈论已经发生的事情。例如:She ought to have arrived at her office by now.(她现在本该到办公室了)。
must do sth.用来发出有力的劝告或命令,例如:You must be here before 8 o’clock at the latest.(最晚你必须八点以前到这里)。
94. A
【解析】根据“must + have done”可表示对过去事情的肯定推测,我们就可肯定本句是对过去事情的陈述。另外,根据句意,我们可以断定连词or在这里作“否则”讲,相当于otherwise,用来引导出一个与已经陈述过的事实相反的情况作为条件的虚拟结果,例如:Take a taxi, or you would miss your train.(如果不叫出租车,你就赶不上火车了);We must run,or we’ll be late.(我们得跑着去,要不就太晚了)。
95. D
【解析】may have done sth.意为“可能做了某事”。
must have done sth.表示推测,作“肯定做了某事”讲。would have done sth.意为“本来可能做了某事”。should have done sth.作“本来应该做某事(而实际未做)”讲。
96. C
【解析】facing the peasants为现在分词短语作定语,修饰前面的名词the hardship,它的作用相当于一个后置定语从句,实际上是省略了which was。到底应选现在分词、过去分词或是不定式需根据句意确定。现在分词表示该动作是由前面的名词发出的,它既可以表示进行中的动作,也可以表示惯常的动作。过去分词是被动态,表示前面的名词是受动者。不定式表示该动作将由前面的名词发出。
97. B
【解析】ever since表示自过去的某个时间直到现在为止,所以谓语需用完成时态。如果过程已经结束,需用现在完成时;如果过程尚未结束,需用现在完成进行时。
98. C
【解析】本题的基本句式是love A more than B,than前后两部分的结构应相同,保持两边的平衡,因此loves doing…more than going…;
rather than左右两边也应保持结构的平衡。
99. A
【解析】accused of…“受到指控”。分词分为现在分词和过去分词两种,现在分词表示主动意义,过去分词表示被动意义。到底应选现在分词或是过去分词主要取决于它同句子主语的关系。如果分词的动作是由主语发出的就应选现在分词;如果主语是受动者,就应选过去分词。
100. D
【解析】twice as much“两倍”。还可以说as much again,意思不变。注意:谈论不可数的东西时需说twice as much (as),谈论可数的东西时需说twice as many (as)。
101. C
【解析】otherwise“否则”,连接副词,引导一个与过去事实相反的假设,相当于if I had not been held up by the traffic jam,因此句子谓语需用虚拟过去时。would be是虚拟现在时的结果句。ought to have been“本来应该”;must have been“一定已经”,纯属推断。
102. A
【解析】lest引导的从句谓语一般多用虚拟语气should + 动词原形,也可单独用动词原形,如:I’ll be kind to her lest she decide to leave me.
103. A
【解析】本题为虚拟过去时或叫非真实条件句过去时,条件句用过去完成时,作出与过去事实相反的假设,主句谓语用would/could/might have + 动词的过去分词。
104. B
【解析】以only引导的状语放在句首时,句子需用部分倒装句序,即将be动词或助动词放在主语前面。
105. B
【解析】“她昨天不可能见到你,因为她根本就不在那里”。could not后面跟不定式完成式用于推断过去不可能发生某事。
106. B
【解析】couldn’t have done sth.可用来表示对过去某一动作的否定推测,意为“不可能做过某事”,例如:He couldn’t have committed that crime because I was with him when the murder happened.(他不可能犯罪,因为凶案发生时我和他在一起)。
ought to have done意为“本应该做(而实际上未做的)某事”,含有责备之意,例如:You ought to have helped him yesterday.(昨天你本该去帮助他)。shouldn’t have done sth.意为“本来不应该做某事(反而做了)”,含有责备之意,例如:You shouldn’t have told him about his illness.(你本不该把他的病情告诉他)。
107. D
【解析】shouldn’t have done sth.意为“本来不应该做某事反而做了”,说明过去的动作,含有责备之意。Since he was very busy yesterday, you shouldn’t have asked him for help.(他昨天很忙,你不该去找他帮忙)。
B项更强调本身的意愿,例如:With all this work on hand, you mustn’t (oughtn’t to) go to the cinema.(手头有这么多工作要做,你不可以去看电影)。I have told him several times, but he wouldn’t listen(.我告诉他好几次了,可他就是不听)。
108. A
【解析】当陈述句以never / seldom / rarely / hardly / scarcely / not until / no sooner…(than) / not only / only + 状语 / so + 状语,等开头时,需用倒装,即将谓语中助动词、情态动词或系动词(be)放在主语之前。
109. C
【解析】“be busy + doing sth.”是固定搭配,意为“忙着做某事”,例如:They are busy packing up.(他们正忙着整理行装)。One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain.(其中一个劫匪被一尊很重的塑像击中,但他只顾忙于抓钻石而顾不得疼痛了)。因句中讲的是“准备考试”,强调的是动作,所以应使用prepare for(为……做准备),该短语强调的是动作,例如:In any case, you should prepare for the worst.(无论如何,你要做好最坏的准备)。而be prepared for则作“为……做好了准备”讲,强调状态,例如:Come what will (may), I’m prepared for it.(不管发生什么事,我都做好了准备)。
110. B
【解析】even if相当于even though,在此引导让步状语从句,作“即使,即便”讲。
111. D
【解析】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“然而”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)。
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常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.(他离去后曾来过一封信)。
112. B
【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,例如:Thoroughly cleaned as it was,the room didn’t look tidy.(房间虽然彻底打扫了,看起来却并不整洁)。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,例如: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);动词不定式作状语一般表示动作的目的,一般是将要发生的动作。
113. D
【解析】这四个选项都可作副词,但directly还可以用作连词,相当于as soon as,作“一……就……”讲,例如:Directly I had done it, I knew I had made a mistake.(我刚做完这件事,就立即意识到我错了)。
promptly (敏捷地,迅速地);presently (一会儿); quickly (迅速地)。
114. D
【解析】本句中的more是程度副词much的比较级。more than前后的比较项应为同类项,例如:John spends more time watching TV than working.(约翰花在看电视上的时间比花在工作上的时间多)。She is more a doctor than a nurse.(与其说她是一个护士,不如说她是名医生)。The shoes are more comfortable than pretty.(这双鞋与其说漂亮,不如说穿着舒服)。
115. D
【解析】在“it is (high) time that”结构中,从句使用一般过去式,表示虚拟语气,意为“早该……了”,例如:It is high time that you got a wife and settled down.(你早该找个妻子安个家了)。It is high time that they were taught a lesson.(早就该教训他们一顿了)。
116. B
【解析】根据虚拟条件句谓语动词和虚拟主句谓语动词的搭配原则:从句使用过去完成时,主句使用“would + 完成时”,表示对过去事实的虚拟。
117. D
【解析】英语中虚拟语气的假设情况一般用条件句来表示,例如:If I hadn’t taken your advice, I would have made a serious mistake.(我要不是听了你的劝告就会犯大错了)。但有时这种假设情况并不以条件句表示出来,而是通过一个介词短语或一个词来表示,例如:We would have done better under favorable conditions.(在更有利的条件下我们还可以做得更好)。He would have given you more help, but he has been so busy.(他本来要多给你一些帮助的,可是他太忙了)。I was ill that day, otherwise I would have attended the meeting.(那天我病了,要不然就去开会了)。本句就是后一种用法,otherwise实际上引出的就是与过去事实相反的假设条件。相当于If we had known his telephone number,因此主句的谓语部分应用“would(could) + have done”。
118. B
【解析】prefer意为“宁愿”,后跟宾语从句时,从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气,构成形式为“should + 动词原形”,should可以省略,例如:We prefer that the plan (should) be fully discussed before being put into execution.(我们希望先充分讨论一下这个计划,然后再去实施)。
119. D
【解析】as作为连词,引导方式状语从句。其意为“像……一样”。根据平行结构原则,从句中应填人实义动词had (有)。为了避免重复,用助动词did代替had,例如:Study as Lenin did(did用来代替studied)(像列宁那样学习).。He writes as his teacher does (does用来代替writes).(他像他的老师那样写字)。
120. D
【解析】wish可以用来表达一种愿望,希望事物与其现状不一样,后接宾语从句要用虚拟语气,即从句使用一般过去时,表示对现在的虚拟;从句使用过去完成时,表示对过去的虚拟;从句使用“would(should) + 动词原形”表示一种比较委婉、比较客气的请求。又因为interested是形容词,不能直接跟在情态动词would后面,例如:I wish I were 10 years younger.(我要是年轻10岁就好了)。
121. C
【解析】从句的正常语序应为obtaining fresh water is not the least of which (of its problems)。介词of表示“在……(同类人或物)中”,例如:He is the most diligent of the boys.(他是男生中最勤奋的)。
122. B
【解析】and前面的分句用祈使句,相当于一个条件句,后面的分句用一般将来时,例如:Keep on listening to English every day and you will improve your listening comprehension.(只要每天坚持听英语,你的听力就会提高)。Work hard and you will catch up with your classmates.(只要你努力学习就会赶上你的同学的)。
123. D
【解析】in that意为“表现在;原因是,由于,因为”,例如:Britain’s press is unusual in that it is divided into two very different types of newspaper.(英国报纸的独特性在于它被分为两种不同的报纸)。
124. A
【解析】从句子结构看,it happens是从句,前面需要一个连词来连接。在四个选项中, the instant相当于“as soon as”,可起连接作用,例如:I sent you the news the instant I heard it.(我一听到这消息,便立刻通知了你)。Please let me know the instant you get the visa.(一拿到签证,就告诉我)。Stormy applause broke forth the instant she appeared on the stage.(她一在台上出现,台下就响起暴风雨般的掌声)。另外,类似短语还有the minute,the moment等。
125. A
【解析】in…situation是固定搭配,作“在……情形下,在……场合中”讲。例如:We must crash both the interior and exterior enemies of the Republic,or perish with her. And in this situation, the first maxim of our policy should be to conduct the People by reason and the enemies of the People by terror.(我们必须击败共和国内外的敌人,不然就会与共和国同归于尽。在此情况下,我们政策的第一条,应当是依靠理智来管理人民,借助恐怖来统治人民的敌人)。
