　【参考答案】
　　1．[D]【译文】他建议简不要把食物匮乏的情况告诉任何人。
　　【解析】考查动词搭配和动词不定式的否定形式。advise sb．to do／not to do sth．表示“建议某人做／不做某事”。D为正确答案。
　　2．[B]【译文】他操作起那部新机器就好像他受过这方面特殊的训练一样。
　　【解析】考查状语从句巾的虚拟语气。as if/ though引导的虚拟语气，如果从句中谓语动词先于主句谓语动词的动作或状态发生，从句应用过去完成时．故选B。
　　3．[D]【译文】你真好!把这些碗碟都洗了，但你不必这样做的。
　　【解析】考查情态动词的用法。mustn’t have done没有这种形式，对过去的否定推测要用couldn’t have done来表示。shouldn’t have done表示“本不应该做而做了”；oughtn’t to have done表示“本不应该做而做了”，含有责备的意思．不符合题意。本句不需要用到虚拟语气，D正确。
　　4．[D]【译文】尽管他很喜欢她，但有时又觉得她烦人。
　　【解析】考查让步状语从句。当as引导让步状语从句时，从句要倒装(即将从句的表语或状语放在as之前)．．although引导时，从句用正常语序。
　　5．[B]【译文】新扩建的运动场有原来的3倍大。
　　【解析】考查倍数。A is three(four，etc．) times the size(height，length，width，etc．)of B意为“A的大小(高度、长度、宽度等)是B的三倍(或四倍等)”，故选B。
　　6．[C]【译文】我希望我能够做到的那一点点是有些用处的。
　　【解析】考查定语从句中关系代词的用法。当先行词是不定代词(如：all，littlemuch等)或被它们修饰时，要用that，不用which。what不可以引导定语从句，when表示时间，在句中作状语。此处the little作为先行词，故选C。
　　7．[C]【译文】我喜欢秋天晴朗明亮的天气。
　　【解析】考查“动词+it+when／if从句”结构。该结构中，it用作形式宾语，它的真正的宾语则是由when／if引导的
　　从句。此结构也可适用于appreciate，enjoy，dislike，love，hate，prefer等少数动词。
　　8．[B]【译文】我喜欢弹钢琴，但弹得不好，苏菲也一样。
　　【解析】考查“so+be动词／助动词/情态动词+主语”结构的用法，该结构表示“……也一样”。但当前面的句子是两个分句，或者当前面的句子既含有肯 定句又含有否定句时，用“It is／was the same with sb．”或“So it is／was with sb．”来表达前述的多种情况也适用于后者，故选B。
　　9．[C]【译文】他们试图与大使馆取得联系，但却是白费力气。
　　【解析】考查倒装旬的用法。in vain表示否定的意思，类似地，n0，little，hardly，seldom等置于句首时句子要部分倒装，即把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前。在此句中，主语为第三人称复数，时态为过去时，助动词应为did，故选C。
　　10．[D]【译文】他刚写完文章，灯就熄了。
　　【解析】考查时间状语从句的用法。表示“一(刚)……就……”的固定结构有no sooner…than…，hardly…when…以及as soon as…。根据句中的hardly，可知应选D。
　　11.[D]【译文】真遗憾!就他的能力和经验而论，他本可能做得更好的。
　　【解析】考查“情态动词+完成体”的用法。might+have done表示“本可能做却没有”；must+have done只用于肯定句中，表示对过去情况的肯定推测，意为“想必，一定”；needn’t have done一般用于否定旬表示“本不必做的事情却做了”；couldn’t have done表示“不可能做了某“I他和我都读不懂日语。”这句话与下列哪个选项含义相当?
　　12.[A]
　　【解析】考查句子的意思。no more…than表示对两者的否定，意为“与……一样不”，故选A。
　　13．[A]【译文】下面哪一个词可以填入“You’d better do it by yourself,——you?”，以构成完整的句子?
　　【解析】考查反义疑问句，疑问部分的形式。当陈述部分有had better，反意疑问部分用hadn’t，故选A。
　　14．[C]【译文】在“What do you think he likes?”一句中，what在句子中充当什么成分?
　　【解析】考查句子成分间的关系。在该句中，do you think为插入语，在what he likes中，主语是he，谓语是likes，what即为likes的宾语，表示他喜欢的“内容”，故选C。
　　15．[C]【译文】“他是最不适合做这项工作的人”在下列选项中，哪个选项与本句意思不同?
　　【解析】考查句子意思。me last person意为“最不……”。如：He is the last person to tell a lie．(他最不可能说谎。)，故C理解错误。
　　16．[C]【译文】你不该不听你爸爸的话。不管怎样，他是个经验丰富的教师。
　　【解析】形近动词词义辨析题。A．deduce“推论，演绎”；8．deliberate“仔细考虑，商议”；C．defy“对抗，藐视”；D．denounce“指责，告发”。根据以上词义，故选C。

　　【解析】动词词义辨析题。consume“消耗，消费”；eliminate“排除，淘汰”；formulate“规划，使公式化，明确阐述”；facilitate“使便利．促进”。只有D符合。
　　18．[A]【译文】这个新来的秘书写了份非常简洁的报告，报告只有几页却包括了所有的细节。
　　【解析】形容词词义辨析题。根据only…but可首先排除elaborate“详尽的concise“简明的，简要的”；clear“明朗的，清澈的”；precise“精确的，明确的”。该句主要强调的是报告的简明扼要，故选A。

　　【解析】形近名词词义辨析题。A．configuration,“轮廓，结构”；B．constitution“宪法，体质，构造”；C．condemnation“谴责，定罪”：D．contamination“污染”。

　　【解析】动词短语含义辨析题。tear off“撕掉”；tear out“撕下”；tear away“疾驰，勉强离开”；tear down“拆毁，拆除”。为新公路腾地，那么建筑物肯定要拆毁了，故选D。
　　21．[D]【译文】任何人想要得到他人的尊重，财富、服装或外表的魅力并不是必要条件。
　　【解析】形近词词义辨析题。respective“分别的，各自的”，后面常常加名词的复数形式；respectful表示主动含义．意思是“对……恭 敬的，尊敬的”；respectable意思是“可敬的”；respected表示被动，它与respectable的区别在于后者表示受人尊敬的可能 性，但未必被respected。

　　【解析】动词词义辨析题。loosen“解开，放松”；remove“移除”；relieve“缓解，消除”；dismiss“解雇，开除”。由于小女孩害怕，所以应该是紧抓“我”的手不放松之义，故选A。

　　【解析】形容词词义辨析题。由but可知Bob虽然考得不好，但并不表示他“迟钝的，笨的”，故选8。gloomy “黑暗的。令人沮丧的”和tedious“乏味的，单调的”可首先排除。awkward更偏指做事“不灵活的，不灵巧的”；dull则指“(反应，理解方 面)迟钝的，呆笨的”，故8更符合。
