六、作文(1題)66.Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopic"HowIFinanceMyCollegeEducation".Youshouldwriteatleast120words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow：1.上大學(xué)的費(fèi)用（tuitionandfees.可以通過多種途徑解決；2.哪種途徑適合于我（說明理由）。

參考答案

1.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。

2.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。

3.D解析：從句中的問句主謂不倒裝。從句的時(shí)態(tài)隨主句。我想知道那輛車的價(jià)格。

4.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。

5.B解析：本題考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困難”。句意為：有時(shí)孩子們?cè)诜智骞适潞同F(xiàn)實(shí)方面會(huì)有困難，相信故事中的事確實(shí)存在。

6.B解析：takemeasures意思為“采取措施”，本句應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。

7.B解析：此處是對(duì)將來情況的假設(shè)。虛擬條件句的謂語部分為should，had或were時(shí)，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語之前，構(gòu)成主謂部分倒裝。

8.B解析：本題考查固定搭配的用法。當(dāng)否定詞位于句前時(shí)，得出結(jié)論應(yīng)用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故選B。

9.D

10.C

11.C解析：notonly…butalso連接主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞根據(jù)就近原則由butalso后的成分來決定。TomandMary是兩個(gè)人，所以動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

12.A【句子大意】新打字機(jī)的價(jià)格是二手貨的三倍。

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

14.D

15.B

16.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級(jí)better。

17.A

18.B

19.D本題考查時(shí)態(tài)。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：當(dāng)你寫信回家的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)代我向你的妻子問好。在時(shí)間狀語從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替一般將來時(shí)。

20.A本題考查祈使句型：

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：Mary，到這里來，其余的人待在原處。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷出這是個(gè)祈使句。所以要用動(dòng)詞原形開頭。Mary在句中不是

主語，而是“呼語”。

21.這次實(shí)驗(yàn)的結(jié)果是發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種治療癌癥的新方法。

22.現(xiàn)在，許多年輕人習(xí)慣邊聽背景音樂邊做作業(yè)。
