1.The board deemed it’s urgent that these invitations_____first thing tomorrow morning.(C)
A. had to be put in the mail
B. must be put in the mail
C. be put in the mail
D. should have been put in the mail
解析：it is urgent that后接虚拟语气，即(should)+动词原形。
2.We are______grateful to you for your warm welcome and gracious hospitality.(B)
A. excessively
B. exceedingly
C. excessive
D. exclusively
解析：副词形似义异辨析。exceedingly意为“极其，非常”，如：They are exceedingly kind to me．他们对我极为客气。
3.I don’t doubt_____to help.(B)
A. wanting
B. their wanting
C. them to want
D. they wanting
解析：动名词。表示“怀疑、惧怕、忍受”等意义的动词后接动名词做宾语，如：doubt，suspect，dread，fear，tolerate，endure，can’t stand，can’t bear等。动名词的逻辑主语可以用属格表示。故选B。
4.The burglars broke into his house and______before the police arrived.(B)
A. made for
B. made off
C. made out
D. made up
解析：动词词组辨析。make off尤指“(做错事后)匆忙离开，逃走”。make for尤指“(匆匆地)走向，朝……前进”，一般后面跟宾语，如：make for home回家；make out表示“写出，开出，(勉强地)看出，听出，辨认出”，如：make outan application填写申请书，I can’t make out his handwriting．我辨认不出他的笔迹；makeup尤指“(为了欺骗)捏造，临时编造，虚构”，如：make up an excuse编造借口。
5.The couple had no sooner got to the station _______ the coach left.(D)
A. when
B. as
C. until
D. than
解析：本题需填入时间状语从句引导词。表示“一(刚)……就……”的固定结构有no sooner．．．than…，hardly．．．when．．．以及as soon as…。根据句中的no sooner，选D项than。
6.They have ______to cover both of them.(A)
A. too small an umbrella
B. very small an umbrella
C. a too small umbrella
D. a small umbrella
解析：句型结构题。根据句意，首先应确立该题是too…to…“太……而不能……”结构，因此B项very small an umbrella和D项a small umbrella可排除。umbrella为可数名词，应紧跟在不定冠词an之后，因此答案为A。
7.After three years’ hard study, he gained his _______ in psychometrics.(C)
A. warrant
B. degree
C. diploma
D. certificate
解析：经过3年的刻苦学习，他获得了心理测验学文凭。A．warrant指“凭证，委任状，批准，授权令”。B．degree是“学位”，后面一般不接具体专业，而是与大的一级学科连用，如文学、理科、工科等等。C．diploma指“毕业证书。证明权力、特权、荣誉等的证书，奖状”，本题指“文凭”。D．certificate是“证书，凭证，执照”。
8._______, I will spare no effort to persuade him to go abroad for further study.(B)
A. Though hard is the work
B. However hard the work is
C. Though hard the work is
D. However the work is hard
解析：引导让步状语从句的副词或连词的用法。however和though可以引导让步状语从句，但用法不同。however需与形容词或副词连用，表示对其进行强调，结构为\\
9.Mary hopes to be______from hospital next week.(B)
A. dismissed
B. discharged
C. expelled
D. resigned
解析：动词辨析题。discharge表示“准许离开；批准出院、退伍；排放”；dismiss表示“解雇，使离开”；expel表示“驱逐，赶走”；resign表示“辞职，放弃工作、职位等”。根据句意应选[B]discharged。
10.He was kept in appalling conditions in prison. The underlined part means(B)
A. awesome.
B. awful.
C. startling.
D. stunning.
解析：考查形容词辨析。appalling除表示“骇人的”之外，还表示“很糟糕的”，awful“很差的”符合要求。startling和stunning均强调“惊人的”，不如awful合适。
11.They gained _______ fat as be expected, and it was all in their belly area(A)
A. twice as much
B. much twice
C. twice so much
D. as much twice
解析：考查同级比较结构。表示同级比较的as…as…和so…as…和状语just，almost，twice，three times等连用时，这类状语需放在在副词as或so之前。另外，as…as…既可用于肯定句，也可用于否定句；但so…as…只能用于否定句中。因此A为正确答案。
12.He will not leave for America—for one thing, he hasn’t recovered yet, and_______, he doesn’t like work abroad.(C)
