2023年英语专四单选及答案详解.doc

51. Our association，which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the disabled，will publish ____ proposals in the near future.
A. their B. our C. his D. its
答案：D. 考察物主代词。逗号与逗号之间是作为插入语，是association定语从句，在此association作为一种整体概念出现，且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词has pressed，背面对应物主代词也应当是单数概念，故选D。句意：咱们协会一直在敦促给残疾人更多就业机会，并且讲在近来公布提议书。publish公布，proposal提议；提议，press for敦促； 迫切规定。
52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam，she ____ much better results now.
A. would be getting B. could have got
C. must get D. would get
答案：D.考察虚拟语气（错综时间虚拟语气）。从句某些是对过去虚拟，省略了if，因而出现倒装，但主句某些出现了明显时间标志词now，可见是对目前虚拟，故应当是would/could/should/might do形式，而get为瞬间动词，不用进行时，故选D。句意：假如朱迪数学考试时更认真某些，她目前成绩就会好多了。
53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one.
A. when B. that C. which D. what
答案：D。这是专四考试频考知识点了：A is to B what C is to D，由what引导方式状语从句。句意：9相对于3等同于3相对于1。
54. Men differ from animals ____ they can think and speak.
A. for which B. for that C. in that D. in which
答案：C。这也是专四考试频考知识点之一：in that引导原因状语从句。for that不能引导从句，A和D都引导定语从句。句意：人之因此有别于动物在于她们能思索，会说话。
55. ____ he wanted to go out with his friends at the weekend，he had to stay behind to finish his assignment.
A. Much though B. Much as C. As much D. Though much
答案：B. 考察由much as引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管”=although。而as much意为“同样地，这样地”。A和D不是固定搭配。句意：尽管她想周末和朋友出去，却不得不留下完毕作业。
56. I enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends in Paris last year.
A. when B. which C. that D. where
答案：A. 考察时间状语从句。四个选项都可以引导定语从句，但这里没有背面从句修饰先行词，故出现不是定语从句。从两某些之间关系来看，背面某些提到了时间段，因而填入when，成为时间状语从句。句意：去年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。
57. Which of the following is INCORRECT?
A. All his lectures were boring.
B. Half his money was gone.
C. Her few friends are all fond of dancing.
D. He invited many his friends to the party.
答案:D. 本题是今年专四试卷中出现新题型，对英语专业同学语法知识提出了一种更高规定。考察是限定词位置使用方法。英语中限定词可分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位限定词，一种名词前限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位次序出现，其中两个前位或两个中位词不能同步出目前同一种名词前。many是后位限定词，而his是中位限定词，与限定词排序规则有悖，故D为答案。A选项中all是前位，his是中位，符合规则；B中half是前位，his是中位限定词；C中her是中位，few是后位限定词。
58. When you have finished with that book，don't forget to put it back on my desk，_____?
A. do you B. don't you C. will you D. won't you
答案：C. 考察是反义疑问句。复合句反义疑问句应反问主句某些，本句主句与否认祈使句don’t forget to…，故祈使某些用will you。句意：你读完那本书后，别忘了把它放回我书桌上，好吗？
59. What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?
A. It was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.
B. He refused to spend his money in a wise manner.
C. He was short of money and didn't want to buy anything.
D. He refused，in a wise manner，to spend his money.
答案：A. 本题属于“句意理解题”，也是伴随着57题，作为08专四新题型，着实让考生出乎意料。本题关键在于分析句中wisely是修饰refused，还是修饰refused to spend his money，可以直接修饰refuse副词有诸多，如firmly，flatly，gracefully，politely等，不过当refuse后接动词不定式短语时候，副词修饰就是refuse to do这个动宾构造了。如：resolutely refuse to answer坚决拒绝回答。可见题干中句子含义是：她明智地拒绝花钱（这件事情），这体现她拒绝花钱这件事是很明智，故选A。
60. They stood chatting together as easily and naturally as ____.
A. it could be B. could be C. it was D. was
答案：A. as…as one can体现“尽量地”。A和B区别就在于主语不一样，B是they could be省略形式，由于主句中出现动词是stood，不是be动词，因而该选项中动词与前面不符；it could be体现意思是“在也许状况下”，it指代前面提到内容。句意：她们站在那儿尽量地随意聊天。
61. The following are all correct responses to "Who told the news to the teacher?" EXCEPT
A. Jim did this. B. Jim did so. C. Jim did that. D. Jim did.

62. Quality is ____ counts most.
A. which B. that C. what D. where
答案：C. 句中is后为表语从句，该从句中缺乏主语，that引导名词性从句时不做成分，where为地点状语，which引导非限制性定语从句，故这里选what（做双重身份：表语从句引导词和表语从句中主语）
63. In his plays Shakespeare _____ his characters live through their language.
A. would make B. had made C. made D. makes

A. You must leave immediately.
B. You must be feeling rather tired.
C. You must be here by eight o'clock.
