父母的言行影響孩子；

參考答案

1.D

2.B

3.D

4.Blaunch為“發(fā)射”講；其余為干擾項(xiàng)。

5.Dapplyto應(yīng)用；applyfor申請(qǐng)

6.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應(yīng)選A。

7.C

8.A

9.B

10.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級(jí)better。

11.D解析：上句責(zé)備瑪麗應(yīng)該做作業(yè)而不是坐到那兒看電視，下句是瑪麗對(duì)媽媽責(zé)備的一種辯解：“你說(shuō)過(guò)電視是有教育意義的?！彼訢項(xiàng)正確。

12.A解析：本題考虛擬語(yǔ)氣在名詞性從句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the廣引導(dǎo)的從句中，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用“should+認(rèn)”，should可以省去，再結(jié)合語(yǔ)態(tài)，故A項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他們要求所有的必要文件都必須在月底之前交到校長(zhǎng)辦公室。

13.D解析：本題測(cè)試形容詞辨析。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)描述，而我卻認(rèn)為它是這個(gè)計(jì)劃中最重要的部分。

14.B解析：cuts“裁減”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱點(diǎn)”；imports“進(jìn)口”，故正確選項(xiàng)為B。

15.B解析：theeducationsystem是主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)；thedesiredresults意為“期望的結(jié)果”。

16.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，指代前邊一句話。本題涉及句法知識(shí)——簡(jiǎn)單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡(jiǎn)單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復(fù)合句)

17.C

18.A解析：反問(wèn)疑問(wèn)句的陳述部分是肯定式時(shí)，疑問(wèn)部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反問(wèn)疑問(wèn)句，疑問(wèn)部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

19.D解析：本題考查動(dòng)詞搭配。doone'shomework“做作業(yè)”；makemistakes“犯錯(cuò)誤”。句意為：做作業(yè)，還要保證別犯錯(cuò)誤。

20.B解析：表示否定的副詞前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒裝，即助動(dòng)詞提前。其余選項(xiàng)均可排除。除Notuntil外還有never，seldom，rarely，seldom，no，little，hardly，innotime等否定副詞或結(jié)構(gòu)放在句首時(shí)，句子需要部分倒裝。

21.直到二十世紀(jì)初，人類才學(xué)會(huì)防止疾病的傳播。

22.重要的是科學(xué)家們現(xiàn)在就應(yīng)該覺(jué)察到危險(xiǎn)否則就為時(shí)太晚了重要的是，科學(xué)家們現(xiàn)在就應(yīng)該覺(jué)察到危險(xiǎn)，否則就為時(shí)太晚了

23.據(jù)測(cè)定，霧滴中各種酸、堿、鹽、胺、酚、塵埃、病原微生物等有害物質(zhì)的比例，比通常的大氣水滴高出幾十倍。

24.Goodhealthdependsonfood,freshairandenoughsleep.

25.現(xiàn)在，許多年輕人習(xí)慣邊聽(tīng)背景音樂(lè)邊做作業(yè)。

29.Americans,valuingcompetition,havedevisedaneconomicsystemtogowithit–freeenterprise(自由企業(yè)制).重視競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的美國(guó)人設(shè)計(jì)出了一種經(jīng)濟(jì)體系－自由企業(yè)制與之相配。

30.我們很欣賞貴方產(chǎn)品的良好質(zhì)量不過(guò)遺憾的是價(jià)格似乎偏高。我們很欣賞貴方產(chǎn)品的良好質(zhì)量，不過(guò)遺憾的是價(jià)格似乎偏高。
