试题答案与解析??

1． A)【句意】他尽管学识渊博，但始终很谦逊。?

【难点】句型“for all +one’s+名词或从句”以及“with all (one’s+名词或从句)”为习惯性用语，常用来表示让步状语， for all或with all 相当于in spite of all，意为“尽管，虽然”。?

2． D)【句意】他的诚实是无可怀疑的，没有人能怀疑这一点。?

【难点】without question 意为“无可怀疑的”。in question 意为“在考虑中的，在议论中的”。out of question 意为“不成问题”。beside the question 无此搭配。

3． A)【句意】烹饪一道好菜时，必须考虑使用这种调料。?

【难点】由时间状语中的a delicious dish 可以看出，此句意在说明一个普遍的事实，而不是特指烹饪某一道菜，所以无须使用过去时，而只需使用表示普遍情况的一般时。?

4． B)【句意】直到他开始以钓鱼为乐，他才开始得到了轻松的休息。?

【难点】此句为强调句，所强调的时间状语从句部分的动作几乎和主句的动作同时发生，时间状语从句的谓语动词为过去时，因而主句的谓语动词采用过去时便可。?

5． D)【句意】不仅你，我也在这点上犯了错误。?

【难点】按照英语语法，由not only…but also构成的主语，其谓语动词应按照就近关系，因此此句只能选择D)。?

6． D)【句意】二十镑足够这样一个贫困的家庭花一个月了。?

【难点】表示时间度量等复数名词作主语时，常常作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数。?7． C)【句意】校长与系主任正打算召开一次会议，以制定一系列规章制度。?

【难点】由“together with (as well as, but, including) +名词”构成的介词短语来修饰主语的句子，其谓语动词必须与主语保持一致，而无须考虑以上介词的宾语的单复数形式。

?8．A)【句意】许多人站在百货大楼的门前。?

【难点】many a +可数名词的单数形式意为“许多…”，后面的谓语动词必须使用单数形式。?

9． D)【句意】“我按时到了办公室。”“假如你的车坏了会怎么样?”?

【难点】what if 意为“倘使…将会怎样”，由其构成的虚拟条件句通常用过去时表示将来，用过去完成时表示过去时，本句意在表达与过去事实相反，所以条件句子中谓语动词必须采用D)。?

10． D)【句意】如果那时天气更好一点的话，现在庄稼长得会更好。?

【难点】此句为一错综时间条件句。本句中的从句表达与过去事实相反的一个假设，按照常规虚拟语气句的要求，主句中的谓语动词应为would have grown，表达与过去事实相反；但主句实际要表达的是与现在事实相反，所以谓语动词应为would be growing。?

【难点】suspicious 意为“猜疑的，多疑的”，后接of， about ;doubtful 意为“不确知的；怀疑的”，常与about 和of连用； suspecting和hesitating是现在分词，不合本句句意。?

【难点】observation意为“观察；监视”；investigation 意为“调查，调查研究”；inspection 意为“检阅，检查”；observance意为“观察，注意”，不常用。?
