do 主语需要(自己)去做;
22. Don’t worry. The hard work that you do now ______later in life.

B. used
C. using
D. use
【答案】B【解析】句意:使用得当,时间就是银行里的钱. 要填的是非谓语形式,,而且 use 和主语
time 的关系是动宾关系,所以要用过去分词表被动意义,相当一个条件状语从句:if it (time) is
used correctly.
24. Bicycling is good exercise; _______, it does not pollute the air.
A. nevertheless
B. besides
C. otherwise
D. therefore

25. Close the door of fear behind you, and you _____ the door of faith open before you.
A. saw
B. have seen

C. whether
D. when
【答案】C 【解析】根据结构词 or 就很容易断定:whether…or。句意:…你居住在那里是很短
一段时间还是很长一段时间,都没有关系。
27. "The moment _____soon," he thought to himself, waiting nervously.
A. came
B. has tome
C. was coming
D. is coming
【答案】D 【解析】根据 soon “很快”很容易断定是将来时,这里是直接引语,所以要用 D(表
示 “来、去、动身、启程”这类动词经常用进行时表将来)。句意:“这一时刻很快就要到了”。
28.
_____I always felt I would pass the exam, I never thought I would get an A.
A. While
B. Once
C. If
D. Until
【答案】A 【解析】句意:尽管我老觉得我会通过考试,然而,我从来不曾想过会得“A 等”。根
据上下文可以看出,题干需要一个引导让步状语从句的连词。while 在这里等于 though。
29. Sorry, I am too busy now. If I _____ time, I would certainly go for an outing with
you.
A. have had
B. had had
C. have
D. had
【答案】D 【解析】根据上下文可知,这是对现在情况的虚拟,if 从句用过去式,主句用 would+
原形。
30. It was not until I came here _____I realized this place was famous for not only its
beauty but also its weather.
A. who
B. that
C. where
D. before
【答案】B 【解析】句意:直到我来到这儿才意识到,这个地方不仅以它的美而且以它的天气出
名。这里是强势结构 It is+被强调部分+that…;本题强调的是时间状语。注意中文 “直到…才…”
用 until 表达常有以下三种形式:not…until; Not until (否定的状语谓语句首,后面的主句谓
语用一般疑问句结构倒装);It is not until…that…(强势结构)。所以,本题也可以如下说:I
did not realized this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather until
I came here(正常结构);Not until I came here did I realize this place was famous for not
only its beauty but also its weather(倒装结构)。
31. The lecture, _____at 7:00 pm laze night, was followed by an observation of the moon
with telescopes.
A. starting
B. being started
C. to start
D. to be started
【答案】A 【解析】句意:报告于昨晚七点开始,报告之后便是用望远镜观察月球。start 在此
用作不及物动词(就像 Classes start at 8 “8 点开始上课”一样),瞬间动词的现在分词作定
语表完成意义或将来意义:We shall arrive too late to catch the train leaving (=which will
leave) at eight.我们会到达太晚了而赶不上 8 点(离开)的火车。A tile falling(=which
fell)from a roof shattered into fragments at his feet.一片从屋顶上掉下来的瓦在他的脚
边摔得粉碎。The accident happening to her turned out to be a good thing.她发生的意外
证明\结果是件好事。
现在分词的被动式(答案 B)做定语只能表示正在进行的动作或和谓语动词同时进行的行为.
不定式作定语表将来或含情态意义或被修饰部分有最高级\序数词\\only\next\last 或是
something\anything 等不定代词等.
There must be many people coming to the party last night.
32.
hard you try, it is difficult to lose weight without cutting down the amount
you eat.
A. However
B. Whatever
C. Whichever
D. Whenever

the piano for years.
A. don't play
B. wasn't playing
C. haven't played

considered.
A. what
B. in what
C. which
D. in which

A. show; are
B. shows; are
C. show; is
D. shows; is
【答案】D 【解析】句意:所有的科学证据表明:农业方面越来越多的使用化学物质正在损害着

句的主语是 use “使用(不可数名词)”,所以要用 is。
