历年专四语法真题参考答案

2000-2019年历年专四语法真题答案

2019年

11. Moving from beginning to end by order of time, narration relies on a more natural pattern of organization than ________.

A. will other types of writing

B. do other types of writing

C. on other types of writing

D. other types of writing

解析：选D。本题很明显的一道送分题，考查比较状语从句。观察句子和选项，可看出本题要比较的对象是“narration”和“other types of writing”。than在此处是连词，后面需要接句子，后接应是other types of writing rely on natural pattern of organization，与主句一致部分可省略，即other types of writing。

12. ________ the attempted rescue mission, the hostages might still be alive.

A. If it not had been for

B. If had it not been for

C. Had it not been for

D. Had not it been for

解析：选C。考查虚拟语气。当虚拟条件句中含有were，had，should等助动词时，可以将if省略，然后将were，had或should等词移至句首，注意从句中否定词not不需要提前。本句正常语序为If it had not been for the attempted rescue mission, the hostages might still be alive。16年19题，17年19题，18年20题都考过虚拟语气，说明该考点较为重要，不排除20年会继续出现。

13. Members of the Parliament were poised ________ ahead with a bill to approve construction of the oil pipeline.

A. to move

B. moving

C. to moving

D. at moving

解析：选A。考查固定搭配。固定搭配没什么好说的，平常多积累。be poised to do sth.表示“做好准备随时做某事”。pipeline意为“管道”。

14. Writers often coupled narration with other techniques to develop ideas and support opinions that otherwise ________ abstract, unclear, or unconvincing.

A. may remain

B. could remain

C. must have remained

D. might have remained

解析：选D。考查虚拟语气。是的，他来了，他又来了！重要考点，圈出来！otherwise表示的是“要不然，否则的话”。主句中的谓语动词是coupled，过去时，定语从句的内容是与过去事实相反的假设，谓语动词应为could/should/would/might+have done。注意：18年考题中也有对otherwise的考查。

句意：作家们常常会把叙述和其他的写作手法结合起来，以组织思路和支撑观点。否则，这些思路和观点就可能会变得十分抽象，含糊或者缺乏说服力。

分析：本句是一个长难句，句子主体是Writers often coupled narration with other techniques。to develop ideas and support opinions表的目的，that引导是一个定语从句，其先行词是ideas和opinions。

15. Protocol was ________ enabled him to make difficult decisions without ever looking back.

A. who

B. what

C. which

D. that

解析：选B。考查表语从句。很常规的一个题目。本句中，主语是Protocol，系动词是was，后面的表语从句缺少指代Protocol的主语，what在表语从句可充当主语，宾语，表语成分，意为“什么，所……的（东西）”，而that在名词性从句中，不充当任何成分，无意义，只起语法连接作用。protocol意为“协议”。

16. The woman had persuaded him to do ________ he was hired never to do —— reveal the combination for the lock on the entrance.

A. one thing

B. such one thing

C. any one thing

D. the one thing

解析：选D。考查定冠词的用法。定冠词的用法都挺基础的，这道题愣是设置成了记为高大上的模样。定冠词the表示特指，这里的特指属于确定特指（definite specific reference），非常明确地指出和人或何物。本题中已具体说明他受雇不会做的事的具体内容。

17. The bad news was that he could be a very dangerous person ________ he choose to be.

A. should

B. could

C. might

D. must

解析：选A。没错，他又双叒出现了，考查虚拟语气。对虚拟语气把握的话，3分直接就拿下了啊！是不是感觉赚一个亿？就算不熟悉虚拟语气，看选项都是情态动词，也可以知道考的是虚拟语气撒，虚拟语气选情态动词十有八九就是should啊！这部分要求速度啊，有些题目当然的用所谓的“偏方”快速解答，考场哪有那么多时间来细细分析句子结构。平常多做长难句子分析，考场才会游刃有余。

好了，还是正经讲题目。本句看着毫无头绪，花里胡哨的，其实就是一个表语从句里面藏了一个条件状语从句。主干部分是the bad news was that...，表语从句中的主句为he could be a very dangerous person，从句为一个倒装句，倒装用法见12题，正常语序应为if he should choose to be。

18. “If not us, who? If not now, when?” These two questions are used as a ________.

A. sign of anger

B. call for action
