in the near future.
A. their
B. our
C. his
D. its
答案:
D.
考查
物主代词
。
逗号与逗号之间的是作为插入语,是
association
的定语从句,
在
此
association
作为一个整体概念出
现,
且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词
has presse
d
,
后面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的,
故选
D
。
句意:
我们的协会一直在敦促给残疾人
更多的就业机会,
并
且讲在最近公布建议书。
publish
公布,
proposal
提议;
建议,
press for
敦促;
迫切要求。

Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she
____ much better results now.
A. would be getting
B. could have
got
C. must get
D. would get
答案:
D
.
考查虚拟语气(
错综时间虚拟语气
)
。
从句部分是对过去的虚拟,省略了
i
f
,因此
出现倒装,但
主句部分出现了
明显的时间标志词
now
,可见是对现在的虚拟
,故应该是
would/could/should/might do
的形式,而
get
为瞬间动词,不用进行时,
故选
D
。句意:如
果朱迪数学考试时更
认真一些,她现在成绩就会好多了。

从句。句意:<
/p>
9
相对于
3
等同
于
3
相对于
1
。

D. in which
答案:<

in
that
引导原因状语从句
。<
/p>
for
that
不能引
导从句,
A

with
his
friends
at
the

B.
考查由

引导的让步状语
从句,
意为“尽管”
=although
。
而
as much
意为“同
样地,这样地”
。
A
和
D
不是固定搭配。句意:尽管他想周末和朋友出去,却不得不
留下完
成作业。
56. I
enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends
in
Paris last year.
A. when
B. which
C. that
D. where
答案:
A.
考查时间状语从句。四个
选项都可以引导定语从句,但这里没有后面从句修饰的
先行词,故出现的不是定语从句。
从两部分之间的关系来看,
后面部分提到了时间段,
因此
填入
when
,成为时间状语从句。句意:去
年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。
57. Which
of the following is INCORRECT?
A. All
his lectures were boring.
B. Half his money was gone.
C. Her few friends are all fond of

答案
:D.
< br>本题是今年专四试卷中出现的新题型,
对英语专业同学的语法知识提出了一个更高
的要求。
考查的是
< br>限定词位置的用法
。
英语中的限定词可分为前位限定词、
中位限定词和后
位限定词,
一个名词前
的限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位的顺序出现,其中两个前位或两
个中位词不能同时出
现在同一个名词前。
many
是后位限定词,而
his
是中位限定词
,与限
定
词排序规则有悖,故
D
为答案。
A
p>
选项中
all
是前位,
his
是中位,符合规则;
B
中<
/p>
half
是前位,
his
是中位限定词;
C
中
her<
/p>
是中位,
few
是后位限定词。
58. When you have finished with
that book, don't forget to
put it back
on my desk, _____?
A. do you
B. don't you
C. will you
D.
won't you
答案:
C.
考
查的是反义疑问句。
复合句的反义疑问句应反问主句部分
,本句
主句是否定祈
使句
don
’
t forget to
…,故祈使部分用
will you
。句意:你读完那本书后,别忘了把它放回我
的书桌上,好吗?
59.
What
does
wisely
refused
to
spend
his
money
mean?
A. It
was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.
B. He refused to spend his money in a
wise manner.
C. He was short of money
and didn't want to buy anything.
D. He
refused, in a wise manner, to spend his money.
答案:
A.
本题属于“句意理解题”
,
也是伴随着
57
题,
作为
08
专四的新题型,
p>
着实让考生出
乎意料。
本题关键在于分析句
中的
wisely
是修饰
refuse
d
的,
还是修饰
refused to
spend his
money
的,可以直接修饰
refuse
的副词有很多,如
firmly
p>
,
flatly
,
gracefully
,
politely
等,
但是
当
refuse
后接动词不定式短语的时候,副词修饰的就是
refuse to do
这个动宾结构了
。
如:
resolutely refuse to answer
坚决拒绝回答。可
见题干中句子的含义是:他明智地拒绝
花钱(
这件事情)
,这表示他拒绝花钱这件事是很明智的,故选
A
p>
。
60. They stood
chatting together as easily and naturally as
____.
A. it could be
B. could be
C. it was
D. was
答案:
A.
as
…
as one can
表示“尽可能地”
。
A
和
B
的区别就在于主语不同,
B
是
they could
be
的省略形式,因为主句中出现的动词是
stood
,
不是
be
动词,因此该选项中的动词与前
面不符;
it could be
表示的意思是“在可能的情
况下”
,
it
指代前面提到的内容。<
/p>
句意:他们站
在那儿尽可能地随意聊天。
61. The following are all correct
responses to
news to the
teacher?
A. Jim did this.
B. Jim did so.
C. Jim did that.
D. Jim
did.
答案:
A.
对
Who told the news to the
teacher
的标准回答是
Jim
did
,即
Jim did it
的省
略
句。此外,还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容,
so<
/p>
和
that
都可以指代前文中提到的
p>
内容,而
this
通常用于指代下文内容。
62. Quality is ____ counts
most.
A. which
B. that
C. what
D. where
答案:
C.
p>
句中
is
后为表语从句,
< br>该从句中缺少主语,
that
引导名词性从句时不做成分
,
where
为地点状语,
which
引导非限制性定语从句
,故这里选
p>
what
(做双重身份:表语从句引导
词和
表语从句中的主语)
63.
