exposesD【答案】句意：虽然尤多拉韦尔蒂故事的构思相当有限，但她关于人性的表述是相当广泛的。But连接的句子中，is是谓语，所以前面的部分不应有谓语。what she exposes与about human nature构成一个名词性短语作为主语。因此答案选D。【解析】3._ need for new schools following the Second World War

being.【解析】C【答案】句意：钢琴是一种由键盘控制的护毡木槌敲击琴弦的弦乐器。在被动语态中，动词应该使用其过去分词形式，所以将strike改为其过去分词形式struck。【解析】B【答案】句意：大约有350种和亚种的鸟种濒临灭绝，其中的很大一部分，共有117种，生活在海岛上。of后面应该使用名词、名词性质的短语或名词性物主代词。因此应该将动词become变为它的动名词形式，动名词兼有动词的特征和名词的功能，可以作为of属格的后部。所以将become改为becoming。【解析】D【答案】句意：19世纪艺术界的浪漫主义运动，在某种程度上是对认识到新古典主义中过分强调了理智和秩序的反应。and连接与“order”组成并列成分，作为介词on的宾语，只有名词性质的词才可以做介词宾语。因此reasonable应使用其名词形式reason。【解析】C【答案】句意：为了使一个广告更加有效，它的制作和策划必须建【解析】立在对人类本性的了解以及对媒体的熟练运用上。助动词must后面应该跟直接动词原形，而不用添加介词to。A【答案】句意：当Marshall完成他的差事时，他就没有时间做他最想做的事情。过去完成时助动词had后面必须接动词的过去分词，所以应为completed。【解析】B【答案】句意：她过去常常在回家路上的面包房买一片蜂蜜蛋糕。used to do sth.为固定搭配，表示“过去经常做”。【解析】C【答案】句意：罗伯特总是随心所欲，不顾别人感受。with/withoutregard to为固定搭配，表示“顾及/不顾及”。【解析】B【答案】句意：艾伦尽管没有像他妻子一样受到那么好的教育，但是和她一样有常识。从B处前后句的语义可以看出两句话是转折关系，所以应用连词though或者although。【解析】.Cloze(15%)Rua Quintino Bocaiuva47 apt 602Floresta CEP 90000Porto Alegra Brazil12 December 1988Mr James KennedyDirectorThe Benson Institute15,Kimberiey WayLondon WIP 48T31.A.for toB.in order toC.so

此处前后句是因果关系，需要填入连词引导主句后面的分句。因为后面接的是完整句子，所以排除C。as意为“因为、由于”，语气比because弱，所引导的从句表示的是不言而喻、显而易见的原因和理由，其从句一般放在主句前。for是并列连词，用来附带解释或说明前面一句的情况，有时他它表示的理由是推测性的，它所引导的分句只能放在另一分句后。因此选B。33.A 此处考查时间状语从句的连词的用法。as和while通常用于连接持续性的动作，而when后面可以跟某个时间点或者时间段。句中的谓语动词was不是续性的动作，因此用when连接。因此答案为A。34.C 此处考查非谓语动词。因为动词graduate与主语I是主动关系，同时句中表示过去，所以应该用“having+过去分词”的形式表示过去完成的事情。35.B 此处考查介词的用法。at the beginning是固定搭配，所以选B。36.A 此处是新一句的开头，并且与上一句是转折关系，所以用副词nevertheless连接，意为“尽管如此”。37.B 尽管作者找到了工作，但是只能够负担得起一周两次的语言课程。此处是想说明作者的学习生活比较艰辛，所以根据感情色彩应选B。38.B and后面的句子表示结果。因为作者一周只能上两次课，所以必须尽可能地利用好课堂的资源。so that后表示目的或解释原因，owingto后面表示原因且接名词或名词性短语，因此答案选B。39.A 此处really修饰to my surprise，表示程度。因此答案选A。40.B 此处填副词表示两个事件的时间关系。由于and前后是事件是先后关系，所以用subsequently。因此答案选B。41.B 此处考查表示时间的副词和介词的用法。since后面一般接句子，on后接现在分词表示“马上，立刻”。因此just before最为合适。故答案选B。42.A 作者回到家没多久就找到了教英语的工作。No sooner后面一般与than连用，having后面应接动词过去分词，on后接现在分词表示事情很快发生。因此答案选A。43.C 此处前后句是转折关系，引出后面作者打算退出工作，重新学习的打算。由于是句首，所以应用however。所以答案选C。44.A 应该接动词不定式表目的，所以应用to和maintain构成不定式。所以答案选A。45.A 前一句解释该句中“pursue my growing interest in Englishliterature”的原因，所以用Thats why。.Reading
