一、LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE(总题数:40,分数:100.00)
1.Do you remember ______ coming to see us last June?
(分数:2.50)
A.Mary and her mothers
B.Mary and her mother
C.Marys and her mothers
D.her mother and Marys
解析:[解析] 动名词。当动名词的主语是无生命名词或者较长的名词词组时,只能用名词通格,而不能用属格。故选B。
a childa well-known writer. The italicized part functions 2.He went to England  and came back
as a (n) ______.
(分数:2.50)
A.appositive (同位语)
B.object
C.adverbial
Dplement.
解析:[解析] 句子成分。这句话的意义是:He was a child when he went to England and he was a well-known
writer when he came back. 因此,在这种结构中,a child和a well-known writer实际上是主语he的补语。传统语法把这种结构叫作双重谓语(Double Predicate)。
3.Which of the following is a compound word (复合词)?
(分数:2.50)
A.Slipup.
B.Boyhood.
C.Overeat.
D.Foretell.
解析:[解析] 词。首先考生要了解最小的语义单位,即词素,其由以下两类构成;自由词素是指本身具有完整意义,可以独立使用的词素;相对而言,粘附词素指没有完整意义不能独立使用的词素。派生词是由词根(主要是自由词根)+派生词缀(分为前缀和后缀)构成,例如B、C、D项,所含词缀分别是:-hood,over-,fore-;复合词通常是由两个或两个以上自由词素构成,如A项,由slip+up组成。
4.Which of the following sentences does NOT contain subjunctive mood?
(分数:2.50)
A.It is necessary that they come without delay.
B.Far be it from me (我极不愿) to spoil the fun.
C.If it were not so cold, I should go out.
D.You must have left your handbag in the theatre.
解析:[解析] 虚拟语气。A项属于“建、决、要、命”类和表示“重要性,紧迫性”的形容词后的that-从句中使用(should)+动词原形的虚拟结构。B项属于be-型虚拟语气,此类结构多现于固定表达中,表达祝愿、诅咒,或者表达一种特殊的态度。C项中是If引导的非真实性条件句中使用虚拟。D项是must表示“推测”的用法,当推测过去时间发生的事态,就用must have done。
5.The following determiners(限定词) can be used with singular count nouns EXCEPT ______.
(分数:2.50)
A.either
B.all
C.both
D.such
weight是可数名词吗
解析:[解析] 限定词。A项either只能和单数名词搭配;B项all可与三类名词搭配使用,大家可能困惑于单数可数名词的搭配,其实很简单,举例来说,I haven    seen George all day. D项such可以和三类名词搭配,以单数可数名词为例,another such book。只有C项both不可以与单数可数名词或不可数名词搭配。
6.Which of the italicized parts indicates CONTRAST?
(分数:2.50)
A.Press the button and the door opens by itself.
B.Many of the papers are good, and these are the best.
C.She has wronged me, and I wish to do her justice.
D.Theyve finished half of it, and thats not bad.
解析:[解析] 并列连词。A项表示条件和结果;C项表示转折或让步;D项表示评注。B项表示对比。
7.Which of the following CANNOT be used as a nominal substitute(名词替代词)?
(分数:2.50)
A.Enough.
B.Several.
C.Sort.
D.Quarter.
解析:[解析] 名词性替代。用替代词取代名词词组或者名词词组中心词这一语法现象叫作名词性替代,能充当名词替代词的词项主要是one/ones,all,both,each,some,any,many,much,(a)few,(a)little,enough,several,none等等不定代词,还有the same,kind,和sort等。如:1)There are good films
as well as bad ones. 2)Slang disappears quickly,especially the juvenile sort. 3)can you get me
some nails? I need some. 4)I don    want any more food. Ive had enough. 只有D项无此功能。
8.All the following sentences definitely indicate future time EXCEPT ______.
(分数:2.50)
A.James is putting on weight. He is going to be quite fat.
B.John is resigning from the post of secretary.
C.I think she will be all right now.
D.There is to be an investigation.
解析:[解析] 时态:将来时间表示法。A项是表示现在已有迹象表明将要发生或即将发生某事,表示客观事态的发展,而不表示主观的意图;B项表示按计划、安排将要发生的动作,通常指最近即将发生的动作;D项be to do表示按计划安排将要发生的动作,通常都是受人们意志控制的。C项表示“预见”,有时它表示对某种必然进程的揣想,意指“我想她现在一定好了”。
9.Among the four sentences below, sentence ______ indicates the lack of ability on the part of
the speaker.
(分数:2.50)
A.Im afraid the strain is more than I can bear.
B.Im afraid the strain is all that I can bear.
C.Im afraid the strain is the most I can bear.
D.Im afraid the strain is beyond I can bear.
解析:[解析] 比较结构。more than+含can/could+动词的分句结构虽然是肯定形式,但表示的却是否定意义。
10.Among the four sentences below, the preposition in sentence ______ carries the metaphorical
meaning.
(分数:2.50)
A.The mans father lives beyond the sea.
B.Mary came out of the house.
C.Such behavior is beneath him.
D.The jet flew over the clouds.
解析:[解析] 介词。beneath一般表示抽象意义,beneath sb表示“连…也不值得,有失…的身份,有损…的尊严”,如: 
I could never stoop to such conduct as that; I should consider it beneath me. 
我绝不会降低人格去于那种事,我认为我不屑于此。 
It is beneath him to cheat. 他那行骗行为有失他的身份。 
许多表示地点的介词能够用于比喻性用法,例如: 
They spoke to me in secret. 
The boys honesty is beyond suspicion.
11.Which of the following italicized parts serves as an appositive?
(分数:2.50)
A.The next man to come was Joey.
B.Their decision to leave was very annoying.
C.It was a bad day for us to call.
D.The nurse has five children to look after.
解析:[解析] 不定式的句法功能。A、C、D项都做后置修饰语;而B项中decision的内容就是to leave,故为同位语。
12.Which of the following is NOT an imperative sentence?
