Probably I _ on a beautiful beach.A) am lying B) have lain C) will be lying D) will have lain答案：C【解析】第一短句中有“This time next week”时间状语，因此，第二句中应表示下周的这个时间“正在做什么”。18. _, we went swimming in the river.A) The da

17、y being very hot B) It was a very hot dayC) The day was very hot D) Being a very hot day答案：A【解析】在整个句子中，“we went swimming in the river.”是主句，其前就用分词短语作状语。该题考的语法知识为“分语的独立结构”。按照语法要求，“being very hot”的真实主语应该是“The day”，因此应该保留。而答案B、C都是由简单句与主句相连。语法中有规定，两个简单句不能用逗号相连，应加上连词。而答案D，则表明“We”是“Being a very hot day”的逻辑

18、主语，这显然是错误的。19. She didnt go to the cinema last night, _ she had to finish her term paper.A) as B) if C) till D) though答案：A【解析】从两句的逻辑关系来看，第一分句是结果，后一分句是原因。因此，要表示原因，只能用“as”20.

20、, the worse it appears.A) carefully B) much carefullyC) more carefully D) most carefully答案：C【解析】这是由“the more.,the more.”引导的一种句子结构，要求形容词或副词用比较级的形式。而“carefully”是多音节词，所以要用“more”修饰。23.When applying for a job, you have to _ a resume.A) get off B) take away C) put out D) hand in答案：D【解析】“get off”意为(从)下来；动身

21、，“hand in”意为“上交”，“put out”意为“伸出、扑灭、 熄灭、 生产、 制造、 出版、 发行、发布”“take away”意为“拿开, 拿走、 把带走; 使离开” 根据句意，应为“上交”。24.It is important that the committee _ about the project at once.A) be informed B) is informed C) will be informed D) being informed答案：A【解析】这是一个由It is important(necessary)+that 引导的主语从句。要求主语从句的谓语动词用

22、“should +动词原形”。并且，“Should”可以省略。25.He _ several jackets and finally pick out a blue one.A) went on B) took on C) tried on D) got on答案：C【解析】”go on”表示“继续”，“ take on”表示“ 承担、 呈现,穿上”，“ get on”表示“上车”等，而“try on”表示“试穿”。因此选C。 Section BDirections: There are also 10 incomplete statements here.

25、pay a visit to their factory.答案：invitation【解析】“their”为形容词性物主代词，其后为名词。“invite”的名词形式为“invitation”。30. Give the application to the man(sit) _at that desk, please.答案：sitting【解析】这里是分词作伴随状语的成份，“man”为“sit”的逻辑主语，因此，用现在分词。31.

26、容词，与“was”构成系表结构，其间应用副词来修饰“older”。“real”的副词形式为“really”。32. As soon as I(get) _home, it started to rain heavily.答案：got【解析】主句的谓语动词为“started”，为过去时，从句由“As soon as”引导，说明主从句的谓语动词几乎同时发生。所以，“get”改为“got”。33. Did you get the(permit) _from the authorities to run the bushiness?答案：permission【解析】“the” 是“冠词”，要求其后为名

27、词。34.
