【答案与解析】
1. 选D，big city life 表泛指，其前不用冠词；country 表示“农村”时，其前习惯上要用定冠词。

2. 选B，success 在此指“成功的事”，为可数名词；out of danger（脱离危险）为习语，其中不用冠词。

3. 选A，其中的failure 在此指“失败的人”，为可数名词。

4. 选B，Sunday 前用不定冠词，表示“某一个”。

5. 选C，kind of 后的名词通常不用冠词。

6. 选B，当概括事物的种类时，用定冠词，不用不定冠词；另外in danger of 是短语，不用冠词。

7. 选A。

on the phone 和at work 均为习语，其中一个带冠词，一个不带冠词。

8. 选B。

unemployment 和work 均为不可数名词，表示一般意义时其前不用冠词。

9. 选D。

a one bedroom apartment 意为“一套只带一间卧室的套房”。

10. 选B。

the young 意为“年轻人”，定冠词用于某些形容词前表示一类人或事物；第二空填不定冠词修饰名词topic。

11. 选A。

over [on] the telephone 为习语，意为“通过电话”；若用by telephone 则不用冠词，类似地，by letter（通过信件）也不用冠词。

12. 选D。

第一空后的most不是构成最高级，而是表示“很”、“十分”，故其前用a；第二空也填a，该句为I have never heard a harder one than this one 的省略。

13. 选B。

第一空填the，表特指；第二空填a，表泛指，as good a school as No. Middle School Attached to Hunan Normal University 意为“与湖南师大附中一样好的一所中学”。

14. 选A。

used computers 与years 均为复数名词表示泛指意思，其前不用冠词。

15. 选D。

NBA中的N 读音为[]，即前面一个音为元音，故填an不填a；第二空填a 表泛指，泛指任何一场比赛。

16. 选A。

介词by表示“以…计”时，若后接单数可数名词，其前要用定冠词，如：by the week 按周，按星期/ by the ton 按吨/ by the yard 按码/ by the meter 按米；若后接抽象名词，则通常不用冠词，如：by volume 按体积/ by weight 按重量。

17. 选B。

knowledge 虽为不可数名词，但其前却可用不定冠词，表示某种程度的知识，有类似some的意思；第二空不填冠词，是因为trade 为不可数名词，表示泛指时不用冠词。

18. 选B。

序数词前通常用定冠词，表示特指（如第一空）；有时也用不定冠词，表示原有数量上的增加（如第一空）。

19. 选B。

原则上说，专有名词前不用冠词，但在些特殊情况下也可用冠词。

此题第一空填定冠词，表特指，即指“那时的英国”；第二空填不定冠词，表示具有某种特征。

20. 选C。

Are they missing? 中的代词they 是一个很重要的信息词，它表明上文中的_______ black and _______ white cat 是两只猫而不是一只猫，所以C。

the black and white cat 可视为the black cat and the white cat 之省略。

若选A，则表示“一只黑白相间的猫”。

【答案与解析】
1. 选A。

hair 可用作可数或不可数名词，用作可数名词时，指一根一根的毛发或头发，如说There’s a hair in my soup (我的汤里有根头发)；用作不可数名词时，则是整体地指一个人的头发。

2. 选B。

需根据句意来分析。

have no sense of direction 意为“没有方向感”。

3. 选B。

需根据句意来分析。

attempt 在此表示“尝试”。

4. 选B，由于上文说didn’t have to work，所以下文相应的语境应是did it by choice。

类似地，下面一题应选D，也是因为choice与下文的have to do it 相呼应：
Were you given a _____, or did you have to do it?
A. job
B. duty
C. request
D. choice
5. 选B。

注意其后的to the party 和replied to it。

6. 选C。

value 指“价值”。

7. 选C。

make sense of 意为“明白”、“理解”。

比较：make sense 意为“有意义”、“意思清楚”、“有道理”。

如下面一题选D：

A. use
B. reason
C. value
D. sense
8. 选B。

miss one’s turn 电为“错过机会”，注意下文的…have to wait for the next round 所表示的语境。

9. 选D。

it’s no wonder (+that从句)的意思是“难怪”，也可说成No wonder (+that从句)。

10. 选D。

directions 的意思是“使用说明”，空格前的refer to 意为“查看”、“参考”。

11. 选D。

room 为无生命名词，不用room’s 这样的所有格形式，在此可直接用名词作定语。

类似地，下面一题要选B，也是一样的道理（名词作定语通常用单数不用复数）：
The boy was very happy that his mother bought him a new pair of shoes at a ______ yesterday.
A. shoes shop
B. shoe shop
C. shoes’s shop
D. shoe’s
12. 选C。

在通常情况下，专有名词具有“独一无二”性，因此它通常没有复数形式，即不可数。

但是，专有名词的独一无二性有时是相对的，随着范围的扩大，这种独一无二性便会受到破坏。

如在一个星期(week)内，只有一个星期六(Saturday), 一个星期日(Sunday)等，但是在一个月中甚至一年中，便有多个星期六，多个星期日了。

所以我们有时可以说：We have spent many happy Sundays there. 我们在那儿度过了许多个愉快的星期日。

另外一点值得注意的是，与一般的名词单数变复数不同，以“辅音字母+y”结尾的专有名词，其直接加词尾-s，而不将y改为i。

13. 选D。

从常识来考虑，electricity 属于energy，结合全句的语境，只有D最合适。

同样地，
14. 选A。

ins and outs 意为“细节”，dos and don’ts 意为“注意事项”，heads or tails 为掷钱币打赌时用语，意为“你赌正面还是赌反面”，p’s and q’s主要用于mind one’s p’s and q’s，意为“留意自己的言行”。

结合句意，选A最合适。

15. 选C。

从语法上看，news 不可选，因为它不可数；从意义上看，D不可选，因为选D 意思不通；比较A和C，选C最合适，因为start与下文的a second 相吻合。

C. I
D. me
【答案与解析】
1. 选B，it 指前面提到的情况。

由于句中用了并列连词but，所以不能选C。

当然，若去掉空格前的but，则可选C。

3. 选B，因是both teams，即谈论的是两者，因此可锁定A和B；从语境上看，应选B，即双方都不愿输。

3. 选B。

即两空均填what，第一个what 相当于something that；第二个what 相当于the thing that。

4. 选C，what 在句中用作动词read 的宾语。

5. 选A，what 相当于something that。

6. 选C，但容易误选A。

按英语习惯，受such 修饰的名词后跟定语从句时，引导定语从句的关系词一般只能是as，而不能是that, which, who, where等。

如：Such women as knew him thought he was charming. 认识他的女人都认为他很有魅力。

此句中的as 就不能换成that 或who，若要使用that 或who，则需将such 换掉，如说成Those women who knew Tom thought
he was charming.
7. 选C，句意为“教室几乎是空的，大家都到哪里去了？”
8. 选B，nothing 指“什么也没有”；none 指数量上的“一点(个)也没有”。

注：回答how much 和how many 时要用none，而不用nothing，道理同此。

9. 选C，what worries me 为主语从句，且what 在主语从句中用作主语。

10. 选B。

从句意推知。

11. 选B 最佳，因 who后通常不接表示范围的of 短语，故不宜选C；若选A，则句型不对；若选D，则语义不通。

12. 选D，what 相当于the amount that。

13. 选A，one 在此相当于a friend。

14. 选C，I like nothing better 相当于It’s the best thing I like。

15. 选D。

else 可放在who, what, where, how, why 等疑问词之后，但习惯上不放在which 之后，而且在一般情况下也不用在whose后，遇此情况可用who else’s，如：
Who else’s fault could it be? 这会是其他什么人的错吗?
但是，若其后不修饰名词，有时也可用whose else。

如：
Whose else could it be? 这会是其他什么人的吗?
16. 选C。

其余三者均不能引导主语从句。

whoever 在此相当于anyone who。

17. 选C。

whoever shares her interests用作介词of的宾语，同时whoever又用作谓语动词shares 的语。

18. 选B。

由于句中谈到的是Mr and Mrs Smith，即谈的是两者，故排除选项A和C，因为none 和all 均用于指三者。

又因为空格前有否定介词without，故空格处填either, 不用neither。

19. 选D。

none 可视为I like none of them 之省略。

从下文的语境看，空格处只能填空一个表否定意义的词。

据此首先排除B；虽然A、C、D均表否定意义，但neither 与前面的best （既然使用最高级，说明有三者或多者在作比较）不吻合；而nothing 表示“什么也没有”，不合语境。

20. 选C。

none 和neither 表否定，与句中的refused to acept这一语境不符。

在either 与any 两个选项中，either 指两者，与句中的three suggestions 不符。

故只能选any，指三者中的任意一个。

21. 选A。

比较四个选项：either 指两者中的“任意一个”，each 指两者或两者以上中的“每一个”，one 用来替代“a / an +单数可数名词”，it 替代“the +单数名词”。

22. 选B。

根据下文的it’s all the same to me(对我都一样)可知，选any 最合语境。

23. 选D。

Why me? 可视为Why do you ask me to go and join? 之省略。

另外，me 还通常在简略回答中用作主语。

如：Me too.(我也一样。

A. this
B. that
C. it
D. the following
【答案与解析】
1. 选C。

one 指a coat。

比较：it = the +名词，one = a+名词，换句话说，it 是特指的，而one 则是泛指的。

2. 选B。

it 为形式宾语，真正的宾语是that he didn’t want to enter politics。

3. 选D。

it 为形式主语，此句为People used to think that the Earth was flat 的被动语态形式。

4. 选B。

it 指前面提到的new house。

注意不能选D，因为其前有并列连词but。

5. 选A。

it 为形式主语，其后的that从句为主语从句。

比较下面一题，答案选B：
_______ is well known, _______ Hong Kong returned to China on July 1st, 1997.
A. It, that
B. As, /
C. As, as
D. It, which
6. 选B。

it 为形式宾语，真正的宾语是whether you should do it.
7. 选D。

it doesn’t matter if…, does it matter if…等为英语常用表达。

8. 选D。

it’s no wonder that…意为“难怪……”、“……不足为怪”，为英语固定表达，其中的it’s 也可省略，即只说No wonder that…。

如：
No wonder (that) he didn’t want to go. 难怪他不想去。

9. 选B。

it 指环境。

10. 选D。

it 为形式宾语，真正的宾语是that you are too busy to do it.
12. 选B。

it 指her age。

look one’s age 为习语，意为“容貌与年龄相称”。

13. 选C。

第一空填it，为形式主语；第二空填that，用以引导一个同位语从句，修饰promise。

14. 选C。

it 为形式宾语，真正的宾语是其后的不定式to send Christmas present to their relatives and friends。

through 意为“穿过，贯穿，经过，透过”。

又如：
The train ran through the tunnel. 火车穿过隧道。

I saw you through the window. 我是透过窗子看到你的。

9. 选C。

在四个选项中，只有except that 后可接句子。

10. 选B。

except when 和except that 后均可接句子，但前者含“当……的时候”的意思，而后者则没有这个意思。

except 与except for的区别是：前者主要用来谈论同类的东西；后者主要用来谈论不同类的东西，在说明情况后作细节上的修正，有时含有惋惜之意。

12. 选B，except 和except for 均可表示排除，但若是表示谈论不同类的对象，通常用except for。

另外，except 通常不用于句首。

13. 选A。

比较：in spite of=虽然，尽管…仍；instead of=代替，取而代之；in case of=假设，万一；in favour of=赞同，有利于。

14. 选C。

aboard 用作介词时意思“在(船、飞机、车)上”、“上(船、飞机、车)”。

【答案与解析】
1. 选A，too …to …结构除用于“too + 形容词或副词+ to do sth”外，也可用于“too + 形容词+ a / an + 单数可数名词+ to do sth”。

2. 选B，it can’t be worse 相当于It’s the worst thing I ever knew。

3. 选B，average 意为“平常的”、“普通的”。

4. 选B，similar 指“相似”，familiar 指“熟悉”。

5. 选A，此处的fool 虽为名词，但具有形容词的性质，相当于foolish。

6. 选B。

虽然quite, rather, much 均可用于加强语气，但是修饰比较级或副词too(太)时，只能用rather 或much，而不用quite。

7. 选D。

第一个look是实义动词(注意与之搭配的介词at)，第二个look 是连系动词。

8. 选C。

多个形容词共同修饰一个名词时，它们的位置遵循这样的原则：描绘形容词—大小（长短高低）形容词—形状形容词—年龄（新旧）形容词—颜色形容词—国籍形容词—材料形容词—用途（类别）形容词—名词（动名词）。

9. 选A。

做对此题要注意两点：一是修饰something, anything, nothing 等复合不定代词的形容词，应置于被修饰语之后；二是副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时也应置于被修饰语之后。

10. 选C。

wrong 修饰nothing，seriously 修饰wrong。

11. 选C。

still 修饰active，置于其前；而副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时应置于被修饰语之后。

12. 选B。

that 在此用作副词，不是代词，用法相当于so。

其余三者填入空格处语意不通。

13. 选B。

理由见“典型陷阱题分析”第5题。

14. 选A。

理由见“典型陷阱题分析”第2题。

15. 选C。

第一空填freely，意为“自由地”；第二空填free，意为“免费地”。

16. 选A。

close 与closely 的区别是：指实际距离近，用close；指抽象意义，用closely。

17. 选B。

首先应弄清second to none 的意思，照字面理解是“对谁都不是第二”，言外之意就是“第一”，或者说是“最好”。

再联系句中的but 可知，选项B 最恰当。

11. This dress is prettier, but it costs ______ that one.
A. twice more than
B. twice as much as
C. as much twice as
D. twice so much as
【答案与解析】
1. 选B，由于是两个房间，即是两者比较，故宜用比较级，因此排除C和D；又由于两句之间没有连词，故不宜选A。

注：若在空格前加上and 一词，则要选A。

2. 选B。

此题关键是要理解 Not at all 的意思。

根据上文语境，Not at all 为 I am not satisfied at all with his answer 之省略，即表示“我对他的回答一点也不满意”，既
然如此，他的回答当然会是 It couldn’t have been worse（不可能更糟）。

3. 选 C，句意为“我的算术比琼差，但我的历史比她强”。

注意句中的转折连词 but 及其后的 better。

4. 选A，we couldn’t have picked a worst day 的实际意思是 it is the worst day we’ve picked。

5. 选A，a better 为 a better one 之省略。

另外，a better one（一个更好的）是与其前文“我知道这不是一个很适合的词”相呼应的。

6. 选A。

根据空格后的than，排除B和D；根据语境，排除C。

7. 选D。

more 后不能比较级，故排除A；quite 除用于quite better外，不用于修饰比较，故排除B；very 不用修饰比较级，故排除C。

8. 选A。

若选B或C均不合事实；若选D，不合语法，因为few 后要接可数名词的复数形式。

9. 选B。

从句意看，空格处应填比较级bigger，因此排除A和C。

选项B与D的区别是，一个用了不定冠词，一个用了定冠词，两者的区别是，不定冠词表泛指，定冠词表特指。

10. 选D。

由于是将有考试与没有考试作比较，所以应用比较级，不用最高级，由此排除A 和C。

选项B的错误在于用了more happier这样的双重比较级（即more后不能再加比较级）。

11. 选B。

修饰as…as的副词应置于该结构之前。

【答案与解析】
1. 选D，第一空填or，表选择；第二空填and，can’t drink and drive 指不能同时既喝酒又开车，即不能酒后开车。

2. 选C，句意为“这家酒店开门到什么?（或这家酒店什么时候关门?）”
3. 选C，选项A用No来回答选择疑问句，不妥；选项B用and 连接tea 与coffee，说明问句并非提供选择，而答语却用了either 这样表选择性的词语，也不妥；选项D与语境不符。

4. 选D，前后意思转折，故选but。

注：but they do = but they like him。

5. 选C，that 为引导宾语从句的连词，在that what he said at the meeting was right 这一宾语从句中，又包含有what he said at the meeting 这一主语从句，而在该主语从句中，what用作动词said 的宾语。

6. 选B，or 表选择。

7. 选C。

how 修饰谓语动词treated。

8. 选B，从句意推知。

9. 选A，when 在此用作并列连词，意为“这时(突然)”。

10. 选C。

第一空填or，在否定词后用or，表示否定两者；第二空填but，表示转折。

11. 选D。

but表转折，符合语意。

而表并列的and，结果的so，原因的as都不符合句意。
