A．I doubted B．do I doubt
C．I have doubted D．did I doubt
答案 D
解析句意为：这个男孩说：“我从不怀疑我父亲会来救我。

〞当否认副词或具有否认含义的短语置于句首时，句子常用局部倒装。

故此题要用局部倒装。

再根据would come to...可知，是在讲过去发生的事，故用过去时。

2．It was only after he had read the papers ________ Mr.Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.(2013·大纲全国，30)
A．when B．that
C．which D．what
答案 B
解析句意为：直到他读了文件之后，格罗斯先生才意识到他面临的任务很难完成。

本句为强调句型，强调了时间状语only after he had read the papers。

根据强调句结构“It is/was＋被强调局部＋that＋剩余局部〞可知选B项。

3．Only by increasing the number of doctors by 50 percent ________ properly in this hospital.(2013·大纲全国，32)
A．can be the patients treated
B．can the patients be treated
C．the patients can be treated

解析此题考查局部倒装。

“only＋状语〞放于句首时句子须用局部倒装。

4．________small，the company has about 1,000 buyers in over 30 countries.(2013·某某，5)
A．As B．If
C．Although D．Once
答案 C
解析考查省略句中的连词选择。

once意为“一旦〞。

答案 C
解析考查倒装句型。

at no time为介词短语，当其位于句首时，句子应该用局部倒装；
根据第二个句子可知时态为过去时，应当选C。

6．The university estimates that living expenses for international students________around $8,450 a year，which________a burden for some of them.(2013·湖南，33)
A．are；is B．are；are
C．is；are D．is；is
答案 A
解析考查主谓一致。

句意为：这所大学估计，留学生的生活费用每年大约8 450美元左右，这对一些学生来说是一个负担。

第一空的主语为living expenses指“生活费用〞，谓语动词用复数形式；“which________a burden for some of them〞是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面一句话，所以此处谓语动词用单数。

7．Not once________to Michael that he could one day become a top student in his class.
(2013·湖南，35) A．occurred it B．it did occur
C．it occurred D．did it occur
答案 D
解析考查倒装的用法。

A．or B．and
C．but D．so
答案 B
解析句意为：(如果你)读这个故事，你将会意识到并非一切东西都能用金钱买到。

分析句子结构可知，此题为“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句〞结构，本句中前面的祈使句表示条件，后面的陈述句表示此条件下的结果，又由句意可知应用连词and。

9．It was with the help of the local guide ________ the mountain climber was rescued.
(2013·重庆，27) A．who B．that
C．when D．how
答案 B
解析考查强调句型。

句意为：是在当地向导的帮助下，登山者才被营救出来。

强调句型的结构是：It is/was＋被强调局部＋that...，故答案为B项。

10．Film has a much shorter history，especially when________such art forms as music and painting.(2012·新课标全国，32)
A．having compared to
B．comparing to
C．compare to
D．compared to
答案 D
解析句子的主语是film，它和compare之间是被动关系，所以要用被动形式。

因此只能选D项。

“when compared to...〞相当于when引导的状语从句的省略，补全后为：when it is compared to...。

句意为：电影的历史短得多，尤其是它与诸如音乐、绘画等艺术形式相比拟时。

11．Not until he retired from teaching three years ago ________having a holiday abroad.
(2012·辽宁，32) A．he had considered[
B．had he considered
C．he considered
D．did he consider
答案 D
解析句首是“Not until〞，表达否认意义的连词短语位于句首时要用局部倒装，因此可以排除A、C两项。

再分析句子结构可知，本空所在是主句局部，结合从句时态可知主句用一般过去时态。

句意为：直到在三年前从教学上退休后他才考虑到国外度假。

12．Only after Mary read her composition the second time________the spelling mistake.
(2012·某某，6) A．did she notice B．she noticed
C．does she notice D．she has noticed
答案 A
解析句意为：只有当玛丽再次读她的作文之后她才注意到这个拼写错误。

“only＋状语/状语从句〞位于句首时，主句须用倒装语序。

after引导的是时间状语从句，接在only 之后，位于句首，所以主句要用倒装，可排除B、D两项。

而且根据语境知read和notice 都是过去发生的动作，所以答案为A项。

13．The basketball coach，as well as his team，________ interviewed shortly after the match for their outstanding performance.(2012·陕西，12)
A．were B．was
C．is D．are
答案 B
解析考查动词时态和主谓一致。

as well as连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词的数由第一个名词或代词决定。

此题中主语中心词是the basketball coach，是单数；
根据shortly after the match可以推断出题干时态是一般过去时，应当选B。

14．All the photographs in this book，________ stated otherwise，date from the 1950s.
(2012·陕西，25) A．unless B．until
C．once D．if
答案 A
解析考查状语从句。

句意为：除非被特别标明，这本书中所有的图片都可以追溯到20世纪50年代。

所填词表条件，从句用了省略句，unless意为“除非，如果不〞，应当选A。

15．It was not until I came here ________I realized this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather.(2012·湖南，30)
A．who B．that
C．where D．before
答案 B
解析句意为：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知名。

这里是强调结构：It is/was＋被强调局部＋that...；此题强调的是时间状语。

16．All the scientific evidence ________ that increasing use of chemicals in farming ________ damaging our health.(2012·湖南，35)
A．show；are B．shows；are
C．show；is D．shows；is
答案 D
解析句意为：所有的科学证据明确：农业方面越来越多化学物质的使用正在损害着我们的健康。

主语是evidence“证据(不可数名词)〞，所以谓语动词应用单数形式shows；
宾语从句的主语是use“使用(不可数名词)〞，所以谓语动词要用is。

17．Never before________seen anybody who can play tennis as well as Robert.(2012·江西，32)
A．had she B．she had
C．has she D．she has
答案 C
解析句意为：她从来都没有看到过任何人打网球和Robert一样好的。

表示否认的副词never等放在句首，句子要用局部倒装结构，且本句时态为一般现在时。

应当选C项。

18．—Was it by cutting down staff ________ she saved the firm?
—No，it was by improving work efficiency.(2012·某某，37)
A．when B．what
C．how D．that

句意为：——是不是通过裁员她拯救了公司的命运？——不是，是通过提高工作效率。

19．This is not my story，nor ________ the whole story.My story plays out differently.
(2012·四川，5) A．is there B．there is
C．is it D．it is
答案 C
解析考查倒装句。

nor位于句首引起局部倒装，排除B、D两项；再根据句意“这并不是(关于)我的故事，它也不是故事的全部。

我的故事的结局不同。

〞用代词it指代前面的“this story〞。

应当选C。

20．It sounds like something is wrong with the car’s engine.________，we’d better take it to the garage immediately.(2011·江苏，33)
A．Otherwise B．If not
C．But for that D．If so
答案 D
解析句意为：听起来好似汽车的发动机出了故障。

如果这样的话，我们最好马上把它开到维修厂(修理一下)。

otherwise否如此，要不然；if not如果不是这样的话；but for that要不是那样。

以上三项均不符合句意。

if so如果这样的话，符合句意。

if so相当于if something is wrong with the car’s engine。

1．For more information about Cambridge，________our website at .
A．visit B．visiting
C．to visit D．visited
答案 A
解析句意为：要想得到更多关于剑桥的信息，根据句意与句子结构可知，该句为祈使句，所以用动词原形visit。

2．________ she is not so cheerful ________ she used to be?
A．How it is that；as B．How is it that；as
C．Is it why；that D．Why is it that；what
答案 B
解析句意为：她怎么不像过去那样高兴了呢？强调句的特殊疑问句式：特殊疑问词＋is/was it that＋原句剩余局部？D项中的what不正确。

3．—Nothing wrong with it，________？
—No.Yours is a specially built model.Drive carefully，though.
A．is there B．does it
C．is it D．has it
答案 A
解析句意为：——没什么问题，对吗？——是的。

你的车是特制的一种型号。

但是还得小心驾驶。

根据句意可知，第一句是一个省略句，其完整形式为：There is nothing wrong with it.，所以其反意疑问局部为is there。

4．—Michael has changed beyond recognition.
—________！How did he manage to lose so much weight?
A．So has he B．Neither has he
C．So he has D．Neither he has
答案 C
解析句意为：——迈克尔变得都认不出来了。

——确实如此！他是怎么做到减了这么多重量的？So he has他确实如此，此结构用于肯定前面的情况；A项：他也一样，用以说明后者与前者情况一样，表肯定意义；B项：他也不，用以说明后者与前者情况一样，表否认含义。

5．Much ________ he has a good taste for China’s football matches，he can’t avoid being influenced by the side effects of the football gambling.
A．that he claims B．does he claim
C．is it that he claims D．as he claims
答案 D
解析句意为：虽然他一直声称喜欢中国足球赛，但他没能幸免赌球的负面影响。

“形容词/副词＋as＋主语＋谓语〞相当于although/though引导的状语从句，本句可变为：Although/Though he claims he has a good taste...。

6．Behind the coach ________ our team wearing blue suits.
A．walk B．have
C．is followed D．appears
答案 A

A．where was it B．it was where that
C．where it was that D．where was it that

A．At no time B．In no time
C．At any time D．At one time
答案 A
解析句意为：——我什么时候能用你的电脑？——什么时候都不行！你任何时候都不能碰它。

at no time任何时候都不，位于句首时，句子用局部倒装语序，即把助动词置于主语前；in no time立刻；at any time在任何时候；at one time曾经。

9．Hearing the bell ringing，out ________.
A．rushing the children
B．were rushing the children
C．rushed the children

A．could Tom B．Tom could
C．is Tom able to D．Tom is able to
答案A[
解析句意为：汤姆的父母原以为只有用这种方式汤姆才能成功，才能到国外学习。

此题考查倒装。

在宾语从句中“only＋介词短语/副词/状语/状语从句〞置于句首时，后面句子要使用局部倒装，故A项正确。

11．As I looked at the memorial，I thought about ________ terrible disaster it was for the people in Nanjing then and ________ they were to fight the Japanese invaders.
A．how；how B．what a；how[
C．what；what D．how；what
答案 B
解析句意为：当我看这座纪念碑的时候，我想，南京人民的那场灾难是多么的严重，他们又是怎么对抗日本侵略者的啊。

第一空所在句是一个感叹句，假设用how如此变为：how terrible the disaster was；第二空根据句子结构和句意可知用how。

A．is；so B．be；and

13．More than a dozen students in that school ________ abroad for further study every
year.
A．sent B．are sent
C．have been sent D．have sent
答案 B
解析句意为：每年那所学校都有十多个学生被送到国外深造。

more than a dozen十多个，谓语动词用复数；另外，句子的时间状语为every year，所以用一般现在时。

答案 C

B．has the problem been settled
C．will the problem be settled
D．the problem was settled
答案 C
解析句意为：直到我们有机会充分讨论这个问题，它才能被圆满解决。

not until置于句首，主句用局部倒装，助动词置于主语前；由until引导的时间状语从句用的是现在完成时(表即将完成的动作)可知，主句用一般将来时。

16．________ and we’ll get everything ready for the taking off.
A．Have one more hour
B．One more hour
C．Give one more hour
D．If we have one more hour
答案 B
解析考查“名词短语＋and＋一般将来时〞。

A项的主语是you，前后句子意义不连贯；
如选C项，如此应改为Give us one more hour。

17．________，he talks a lot about his favorite singers after class.
A．A quiet student as he may be
B．Quiet student as he may be
C．Be a quiet student as he may
D．Quiet as he may be a student

词省略。

18．Barry must have visited the Eiffel Tower before，________he?
A．mustn’t B．hadn’t
C．hasn’t D．needn’t
答案 C
解析句意为：柏瑞之前一定参观过埃菲尔铁塔，是不是？当反意疑问句的陈述局部含有表示推测的情态动词must时，附加问句局部的助动词取决于其后的动词形式；由have visited可知，此处表示对已发生的情况的猜测，应当选C。

19．It was ________ he came back from Africa that year ________ he met the girl he would like to marry.
A．when；then B．not；until
C．not until；that D．only；when
答案 C
解析考查强调句型。

根据It is...that结构可知。

20．Not until I came home last night ________ to bed.
A．Mum did go B．did Mum go
C．went Mum D．Mum went
答案 B
解析倒装语序的用法。

not until位于句首时要用半倒装的句型，即把助动词did提到主语Mum的前面。

所以答案为B项。

21．________ surprising it is you should not know what has happened!
A．What B．How
C．That D．It
答案 B
解析句意为：你竟然不知道发生的一切，真是太令人吃惊了。

由于空格后的surprising 是形容词，所以用how。

22．Mary is the only one of the teachers who ________ a little Chinese because she is one of my friends who ________ been to China.
A．know；have B．knows；has
C．knows；have D．know；has
答案 C
解析此句包含了两个定语从句，关系代词都在从句中作主语。

关系代词的单复数应与定语从句的先行词的单复数保持一致。

第一个从句的先行词是the only one of the teachers，指唯一的教师，从句谓
语动词应用单数形式。

第二个定语从句先行词是my friends，表示的是复数概念，所以从句谓语用复数，因此答案为C项。

23．If you have a job，________yourself to it and finally you’ll succeed.
A．do devote B．don’t devote
C．devoting D．not devoting[
答案 A
解析此处应是祈使句，又有谓语动词的强调要借助助动词do，应当选A项。

句意为：如果你有了一份工作，付出努力去做它，最后你一定能成功。

24．The teacher together with the students ________ discussing ReadingSkills that ________ newly published in America.
A．are；were B．is；were
C．are；was D．is；was
答案 D
解析考查主谓一致。

A together with B作主语时谓语动词与A的单复数保持一致；
第二空为定语从句that指代ReadingSkills，由于ReadingSkills是书名所以谓语动词用单数。

25．Unsatisfied ________ with the payment，he took the job just to get some work experience.
A．though was he B．though he was
C．he was though D．was he though
答案 B
解析as，though引导让步状语从句时，要把表语、状语或谓语动词提到主语前边(though引导从句时也可不提前)。

Who give us life，raise us and are our constant support and well­wishers？Our mothers.That’s why millions of people across the world take Mother’s Day as an opportunity to express thanks and send best wishes to their moms.
However，the celebrat ion of Mother’s Day is not the recent thing that many believe it to be.It was the ancient Greeks who started the tradition by celebrating their annual spring festival in honor of Rhea，the mother of many gods and goddesses.
Later，in the 1600s，Mothering Sunday came to be celebrated in England.On the fourth Sunday of Lent (大斋期)，children brought flowers and special fruitcakes to show their respect for their mothers.It may be the root of the modern Mother’s Day.
Thanks to the great efforts of Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis，Mother’s Day became an official festival in the US.It is celebrated on the second Sunday in ter，many countries began to celebrate this day as Mother’s Day.
Today，Mother’s Day is an international festival honoring mothers.It is celebrated all over the world in different ways.In Western countries，the most common way is to treat mothers with breakfast in bed.Kids often allow their mothers to sleep till late in the morning while they prepare her favorite breakfast with their fathers.Some also make hand­made gifts or buy beautiful carnations (康乃馨)．It is the day when you acknowledge your mothers contribution in your life and pay a tribute (礼品) to her，often with flowers and gifts.It complements Father’s Day，the
celebration honoring fathers.
Today，Mother’s Day is a day celebrated on various days in many places around the world.

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words，I glanced around the room，only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused，I glanced toward my stone­faced teacher.Having no choice，I slowly raised the report I had slaved over，hoping to hide myself.“What could be causing everyone to act this way？〞Quickly，I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was the first real task I received in my new school.It seemed simple：go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country，I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow，it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different！One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts，while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen，wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice：flip(掷) a coin.Heads—the commander，and tails—the peanut guy.Ah！Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter，George Washington Carver.
Weeks later，standing before this unfriendly mass，I was totally lost.Oh well，
I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk，burning to find out what I had done wrong.As
a classmate began his report，it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington，the man who started the American Revolution.〞The whole world became quiet！How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously，my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless，I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot，but she insisted：No re­dos；no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified，and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently，I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later，that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather，now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet！(2012·，B)

AMERICAN­CHINESE performer Wang Leehom has certainly made waves with his pop music and his film career，but as his recent concert confirms，the 34­year­old is more than just another star with an enchanting (迷人的) voice.He has been active in raising people’s awareness of environment protection.
Wang held a pop concert in Beijing to spread eco­friendly ideas.The concert was a standing­room­only affair—the seating was made of recycled cardboard benches.The tickets were not only biodegradable (可分解的)，but green literally.Made from recycled paper，each ticket also contains seeds embedded in the paper.If it is watered and placed in sunshine，grass will grow from it.
The concert is only one of his recent efforts to promote environment protection。
