37. -What was the party like ?　　　 -Wonderful . It is years _____ I enjoyed myself　 so much .

A. after　　　 B. when　　 C. before　　　 D. since

答案是D項(xiàng)。英語(yǔ)中"It is + 時(shí)間"后三種不同的用法。其一是："It is + 時(shí)間+ that …"，這是強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)的句型，如：It is always on Wednesday morning that the famous professor comes to give us a lecture about Chinese literature . (那位著名的教授來(lái)給我上中國(guó)文學(xué)課總是在星期三上午)；其二是："It is +一段時(shí)間before …"，這一句型的意思是：完成這個(gè)從句所發(fā)生的事所需的時(shí)間量，如：It is about a week before a Londoner can get a letter you post in Beijing today . (一個(gè)倫敦人要收到你今天在北京寄出的一封信需要一個(gè)星期的時(shí)間。)；其三是："It is +一段時(shí)間+since …"這一句型表示的是從從句中動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)作起所延續(xù)的時(shí)間。關(guān)于since這個(gè)詞的內(nèi)涵，詳見(jiàn)前面的第20小題。

36. I caught the last bus from town , but Harry came home ______ that night .

1. very late　　 B. even later　　　 C. the same late　　　 D. the last one

答案是B項(xiàng)。形容詞或副詞的比較級(jí)在一般情況下使用在明示比較句中，但有時(shí)也使用在暗示比較句中。暗示比較現(xiàn)象往往出現(xiàn)在帶有but的并列句里，或帶有讓步狀語(yǔ)從句的主句里。第一分句交代的是暗示某種程度的被比對(duì)象，在第二分句里以比較級(jí)的形式出現(xiàn)。又如：Great as are his achievements , his ideal and spirit are still greater . (他的成就非常了不起，但他的理想和精神更偉大。)

35. We will take _____ wants to go there for a sight-seeing .

　　 A. whoever　　 B. who　　 C. anybody　　 D. all that

答案是A項(xiàng)。whoever有兩個(gè)詞義，(1)no matter who，在這種用法時(shí)引導(dǎo)一個(gè)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，如：Whoever ( = No matter who ) it is , I do not want to see them . (無(wú)論他是誰(shuí)，我都不想見(jiàn)。)，又如：The business would be a success , whoever ( no matter who ) owned it . (這個(gè)企業(yè)準(zhǔn)能興旺發(fā)達(dá)，甭管誰(shuí)是它的主人。)；(2)anybody / that，在這種用法時(shí)，它連接一個(gè)名詞性從句，在本題中它連的是主語(yǔ)從句，又如：I will take whoever ( anybody that ) wants to go to that beautiful park . (我要帶任何想去那個(gè)美麗公園的人去那里。)在這一例句中whoever連接的是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句

34. I think the doctor is able to care of _____ is the matter with your son .

A. all　 　B. what　　 C. whatever　　 D. anything

答案是C項(xiàng)。與前面第19題的考查點(diǎn)whoever一樣，whatever也具備兩個(gè)意思，其一是no matter what , 引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句；其二是anything that , 引導(dǎo)名詞性從句，在本題中，Whatever 引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，whatever在這個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句被用作主語(yǔ)。

33. Let us not waste ______ time we have left .

1. the little　　 B. little　　　 C. a little　　　 D. a little more

答案是A項(xiàng)，一般地說(shuō)，不定代詞many , little或few前是不許使用定冠詞的，但是如果它們修飾的名詞有特指或限定意義時(shí)，它們前面就應(yīng)使用定冠詞了。如：I soon finished the few books she had lent me . (她借給我的那幾本書(shū)，我很快就看完了。)又如：We must make full use of the contradictions among the enemies , winning over the many and opposing the few . (我們必須充分利用敵人的內(nèi)部矛盾，爭(zhēng)取多數(shù)，反對(duì)少數(shù)。)

32. _____ in thought ,　 he almost ran into the car in front of him .

　A. Losing　　　 B. Having　 lost　　　　 C. Lost　　　 D. To

答案是C項(xiàng)。過(guò)去分詞有三個(gè)用途：(1)表示被動(dòng)，如：the oppressed people ( = the people who are oppressed ) 被壓迫的人們，又如：the exploited class ( = the class that is exploited ) 被剝削階級(jí)；(2)表示完成，如：the fallen leaves ( = the leaves which have fallen ) 落葉，又如：an escaped prisoner ( = a prisoner who has run out of prison ) 一個(gè)逃犯；(3)表示狀態(tài)，如：a broken window ( = a window that is broken ) 一扇破窗子，又如：lost in thought陷入沉思。

31. ______ to somebody , a British person after shakes hands with the stranger .

A. Introducing　　　　　 B. To introduce　　 C. To be introduced　　 D. On being introduced

答案是D項(xiàng)。很明顯，句中的空白處應(yīng) 選用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式。如果將C項(xiàng)填入空白處，雖然這個(gè)不定式是被動(dòng)形式，但不定式短語(yǔ)處于句首或是充當(dāng)目的的狀語(yǔ)，或是充當(dāng)含有虛擬意義的動(dòng)名詞時(shí)，其意為："一…就…"，但如介詞on后帶被動(dòng)態(tài)的動(dòng)名詞，除上述意義外，還可表示："在…的時(shí)候"。D項(xiàng)答案的這個(gè)意義正符合上面句子的句意。

30. Do you consider it any good _____ the truck again ?

A. to repair　　　　 B. repairing　　　 C. repaired　　　 D. being repairing

答案是B項(xiàng)。在這個(gè)句子中it是形式賓語(yǔ)，如果這樣的句子中出現(xiàn)了any good , no good , any use 或 no use，就該使用動(dòng)名詞來(lái)作句中真正的賓語(yǔ)。

29. The bad weather meant ______ the rocket launch (發(fā)射) for 48 hours .

A. delaying　　　 B. having delayed　　　　 C. to delay　　　 D. to have delayed

答案是A項(xiàng)。mean后既可以跟不定式(mean to do sth)，又可以跟名詞mean doing sth，便兩者內(nèi)涵是有很大區(qū)別的，前者表示"故意去做；誠(chéng)心去做"而后者表示"意味著要做"。據(jù)此兩個(gè)不定式的選項(xiàng)應(yīng)予以排除。雖然句中有表示延續(xù)一段時(shí)間的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，但句意是：惡劣的天氣意味著火箭的發(fā)射要耽擱四十八小時(shí)，"耽擱"這一動(dòng)作沒(méi)有也不能發(fā)生在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞meant之前，所以C項(xiàng)也必須排除掉。

28. She was afraid _____ the dog in case it became dangerous .

A. of exciting　　　 B. to excite　　 C. that she excited　 　　D. to be exciting

答案是B項(xiàng)。be afraid后面既可以跟不定式be afraid to sth又可以跟動(dòng)名詞be afraid of doing sth , 但前者的意思是：害怕/不敢做某事；后者的意思為：對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的結(jié)果的發(fā)愁或憂(yōu)慮，試比較以下兩個(gè)句子： She was afraid to wake up her husband . ( perhaps because she feared that he would be annoyed or angry ) 她不敢喚醒她的丈夫。(可能因?yàn)樗�害怕他�?huì)不高興或生氣) She was afraid of waking up her husband . ( perhaps because he was ill , or in need of extra sleep )她擔(dān)心吵醒了她的丈夫。(可能因?yàn)樗�生病了或需要一些額外的睡眠)
