1. Ms Nancy didn't mind at all ______ to the ceremony.

A. being not invited B. not being invited

C. not inviting D. not to be invited

B

2. "_____ your meeting is!" he offered them his sincere congratulations.

A. How a great success B. What a great success

C. How great success D. What great success

B success 名詞，保留遠動詞含義"成功"是不可數(shù)名詞;如用來代替具體的人(成功者)或具體的事(成功的事情(東西))是可數(shù)名詞。故排除C,D;A中how是副詞，如改成how great a success就是正確的。

3. We must remember that _____fashion is not the most important thing in _______ life.

A. /; the B. /; / C. the; / D. the; the

B 抽象名詞不特指時，前不用冠詞。

4. It _____ quite a few years _____ the accused was declared innocent and set free.

A. was; since B. is; that

C. will be; when D. was; before

D 如將A項中was, since改成is, since是正確的;即從句中謂語先發(fā)生。如用B項，是強調(diào)句，而強調(diào)句前后兩個謂語動詞在時間上必須一致(a);被強調(diào)部分能還回原句中(b)，即因為句中was declared是過去時, B項中is改成was;因為句中was declared是非延續(xù)性動詞，在years后加上ago將"一段" 時間變成"一點"就是正確的。C 項前后時間不一致。

5. The professor said he could talk on _____ interested the audience.

A. any topic B. which topic

C. whichever topic D. the topic he thought it

C whichever已失去疑問含義，等于 anything that，表示強調(diào); 而 which topic中 which保留疑問含義，譯成"哪一個題目"，不符合句義。而A和D中缺少連詞。

6.Under no circumstance _____ to tell lies to parents.

A. children are allowed B. are children allowed

C. children will allow D. will children allow

B.含有否定意義的副詞及介詞短語放在句首時，句子中主語和謂語用部分倒裝。

7.Modern science and technology has _____ communication between people far apart.

A. made convenient B. made it convenient

C. made it convenient for D. made it convenient to

A 題目中has made是謂語，communication between people far apart短語是賓語，convenient是賓語的補語，被前置。如用B項,it是形式賓語代替不定式或從句。

8.I heard that you really had a wonderful time at John's birthday party, _____?

A. didn't I B. didn't you

C. hadn't you D. will you

B含賓語從句和定語從句的主從復(fù)合句，反意疑問句隨主句變;但是在含有賓語從句的住句中主語是第一人稱時反意疑問句隨從句一致。

9.The great use of school education is not so much to teach you things _____ to teach you the art of learning.

A. as B. that C. than D. but

A

10.No matter how frequently _____ the works of Beethoven always attract a large number of people.

A. performing B. performed

C. to be performed D. being performed

B 在讓步，時間等狀語從句中，如果主從句中主語一致，從句中謂語含 be動詞，可以將從句中的主語和 be 省略，即在how 后加they(the works) are，再分別與選擇項搭配后，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)正確答案是B。

11._____ their real economic situations, they got some relief fund from the government.

A. Considering B. Considered

C. Having been considered D. Being considered

A considering "考慮到"，而 considered "被認為"，根據(jù)全句含義，句中主語they和considering是主動關(guān)系，因此選擇項。

12.Tina _____ have known the truth, or she would have told us.

A. mustn't B. shouldn't C. can't D. needn't

C

13.There are some police cars in front. What do you suppose _____?

A

14._____ of water makes Death Valley a desert, but it is by no means devoid.

A. Lacking B. Being lack C. Because of lack D. Lack

D lack 作名詞，后加of短語。如用A項,lacking是及物動詞的動名詞，后面不用介詞of或作不及物動詞,后面加介詞in…。

15. In recent years much more emphasis has been put______ developing the students productive skills.

A. onto B. in C. over D. on

D put/ place/ lay emphasis on 是固定搭配，表示"強調(diào)，注重。"

16. A survey was carried out on the death rate of those who were infected by SARS, ________were surprising.

D the results of which 等于whose results，是非限制性定語從句。

A

18. Many workers were organized to clear away ______remained of the World Trade Center.

A. would leave B. will have left

C. has left D. had left
