19、方法。”根据句子成分之间的关系和句尾too much 可以判断，这里应需要一个表达否定含义的介词，选项中只有without是否定含义，故答案为A。17. D)【解析】本句意为“在公共场合，她不知道如何使用英语表达清楚自己的观点。”此题考查“know+ 疑问词 + 动词不定式”的用法。但从句意来看，这里应表达“如何”之意。故答案为D)。18. D)【解析】本句意为“除非天气好转，否则我们的旅游业会遭到巨大损失。”此题考查连词用法：根据题干的关键词improves和suffer a huge loss可知，题干的两句话并不是并列因果或顺承关系，而应表达“除非”之意，故答案为D)。19. A)【解析

20、】本句意为“我们对布莱克先生被评为最佳经理的消息都感到高兴。”此题考查同位语从句的从属连词。一些名词，如news, fact, suggestion, advice等，后面经常使用同位语从句结构，而同位语从句的连词往往是that，故答案为A)。【注】注意判断同位语从句的方法；1.先行词和同位语从句是解释说明或补充的关系，而不是限定修饰关系；2.如果在先行词和同位语从句中间加入be动词的某一种形式，先行词和同位语从句可以构成一个符合逻辑的主系表结构。20. C)【解析】本句意为“重要的是我们要提前完成任务。”此题考查虚拟语气。本题考查的是should原形虚拟语气。在英语中，虚拟语气是很重要的语法

21、现象，主要包括if虚拟条件句中的虚拟语气、wish引导的宾语从句中的虚拟语气和should原形虚拟语气。在It is important/necessary/natural/essential结构中,经常使用“（should+）动词原形”的虚拟语气，故答案为C)。【注】表示建议、命令和请求的动词（如suggest, propose, order, demand, require, insist）要使用原形虚拟语气；表示建议、命令和请求的名词（如suggestion, proposal）后面的同位语从句也要使用原形虚拟语气。21. B)【解析】本句意为“请递给我那本黑色封面的书好吗？”此题考查定

22、语从句的关系词。从题干来看，定语从句中cover 作主语，is black是系表结构，因此该连词在句中应该作定语，用来修饰cover，而选项中只有whose 才可以在定语从句中作定语。故答案为B) 22. A)【解析】本句意为“马克在这家公司已经工作了三年了，他在商业谈判中已经很有经验。”此题考查现在分词短语作状语。题干中for three years 是表示一段时间的时间状语，所以该句应使用完成时；题干前半句的逻辑主语是句子主语Mark,他与动词work在逻辑上是主动关系，因此应使用现在分词表示主动。故答案为A)。23. B)【解析】本句意为“她到达会议室时才意识到自己忘了带文件。”此题考查

23、倒装句的用法：Not until如果置于句首，那么句子主干就要使用部分倒装结构，即将助动词置于主语之前。题干为过去时，在构成部分倒装结构时，要借助于did，且需要置于主语she之前。故答案为B)。【注】表否定的副词和短语，如never, hardly, seldom, scarcely, little, few, by no means, in no circumstances, not until等置于句首时，主句要使用部分倒装结构。另外only+状语置于句首时也要使用部分部分倒装结构。24. C)【解析】本句意为“约翰此前从未出过国，因此他感到这次出差令他很兴奋。”此题考查连词的用法。空格

24、前的句意为“约翰此前从未出过国”，空格后的句意为“他感到这次出差令他很兴奋”，两句话之间是因果关系。故答案为C) 。25. B)【解析】本句意为“尽管有些学生毕业后能找到工作，其他学生则不得不重新回到学校攻读更高的学位。”此题考查连词辨析：题干中的some studentsothers表明，两句话之间是对比关系。故答案为B)。Section B26. to make【解析】本句意为“公司不允许员工在办公室打私人电话。”此题考查动词“allow ”的用法。allow后需要使用动词不定式作宾语，因此需要填入make的不定式,故答案为to make 。27. putting【解析】本句意为“商店店员

25、将商品标价后放到货架上。”此题考查动名词的结构：空格处前面有介词before，介词后面应使用名词或动名词作宾语因此需要填入put对应的动名词形式. 故答案为putting。28. easier【解析】本句意为“新科技的目的是让生活更容易，而不是让生活更困难。”此题考查形容词比较级：解答本题需要综合考虑两个make结构。从句意和句式看，两个结构应该是并列关系，第二个make结构中使用了比较级形式，第一个make结构也应使用相同的形式，故填入easy的比较级形式。故答案为easier。29. will be discussed【解析】本句意为“关于年度销售的提议将在下一次的董事会议上讨论。”此题考

26、查一般将来时的被动语态。题干中的主语proposal与动词discuss之间是被动关系，又根据状语at next meeting可知，本句应使用一般将来时。故答案为will be discussed。30. occasionally【解析】本句意为“由于我们在公司的不同部门工作，所以我们只是偶尔见面。”此题考查occasional 的用法：空格处的词应用来修饰动词see，因此，空格处需要一个副词来修饰动词see，故答案为occasionaly。【注】根据语法可知，形容词一般用来修饰名词，副词则可以修饰动词、形容词、副词和句子.31. advanced【解析】本句意为“一些国内企业忙于增加生产，

27、失去了发展更高科技的机会。”此题考查advance的词性转换。根据题干中的more可知，此处可能需要填入一个形容词构成比较级结构；根据空格后的名词technology可知，此处确定需要一个形容词，故答案为advanced。32. correcting【解析】本句意为“我很感激你这么快更正了我的银行账户中的错误。”此题考查动名词的结构，空格处为前面的介词in的宾语，所以需要使用动名词形式，故答案为correcting。33. complaint【解析】本句意为“如果你的邻居太吵了，那么你就有理由抱怨了。”此题考查词形转换：your后要接名词，故答案为complaint。34. were inte

28、rviewed【解析】本句意为“昨天采访的学生中，30%的学生认为他们应该继续学习直到取得大学学位。”此题还是考查定语从句谓语部分：根据句意可知，先行词students与interview之间是被动关系。根据从句中的时间状语yesterday可知，此处动词应使用过去时，故答案为were interviewed35. brought【解析】本句意为“应该采取措施以避免不正当竞争带来的负面影响。”此题考查过去分词短语作后置定语的用法，根据句意可知，空格处应该与其后面的词语构成后置定语结构，修饰空格前的名词短语negative effect；根据句意和介词by可知，名词短语negative effe

29、ct和动词短语bring about之间是被动关系，过去分词表示被动，故答案为 brought。Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Task 136.
