34.C所有的學(xué)生都去看了昨天的魔術(shù)表演。它太令人不可思議了。這里主要考查的是動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么樣。Sb．bedone表示某人處于某種狀態(tài)。例：Theletteristouching．這封信令人感動(dòng)。

Iammoved．我很感動(dòng)。

35.A解析：本題考虛擬語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，謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用“should+認(rèn)”，should可以省去，再結(jié)合語態(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辦公室。

40.A解析：根據(jù)上文提到“findone”，故下文中也應(yīng)填one，表示泛指。

41.A

43.C

44.B解析：encourage：鼓勵(lì)、鼓舞；discourage：使泄氣；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根據(jù)句意只有選B。

46.A解析：此題考查反意疑問句的用法。主句為祈使句，因此其反意疑問句用willyou。

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

48.D

49.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。

50.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級(jí)better。

65.B解析：根據(jù)withneweyes判斷，C首先排除：況且我們知道“l(fā)ookoutofsth”為固定搭配：故選B。

67.C

68.C

69.D解析：從文中casualconversation“非正式交談”可以推知(從本篇最后一句也可推知)，與之對(duì)應(yīng)的應(yīng)是正式的公開的演說，因此正確答案應(yīng)是D項(xiàng)public。

70.D讀書強(qiáng)迫你增加注意力，因此用increase。而A項(xiàng)share"分享”；B項(xiàng)seize“抓住”，意義不當(dāng)。C項(xiàng)decrease“減少”，意思剛好相反，故選D。
