语言知识
1.All the following sentences definitely indicate future time EXCEPT________(B)
A. Mother is to have tea with Aunt Betty at four.
B. The school pupils will be home by now.
C. The President is coming to the UN next week.
D. He is going to email me the necessary information.
解析：下面的句子中，除哪一句外，其他确切表示将来时？B“小学生们现在大概已经到家了”，will表示推测，其他三项均表示将来时，故选B。
2.At that moment, with the crowd watching me, I was not afraid in the ordinary sense, as I________if I________alone.(A)
A. would have been… had been
B. should be… had been
C. could be… were
D. might have been… were
解析：从主句部分was not afraid的时态，可看出这是对过去的虚拟假设。as从句中alone与上文的with the crowd watching me相矛盾，困此这是对过去进行假设的非真实条件句，if从句谓语动词应用had done，而主句谓语动词应用would have done。
3.There is no doubt________the company has made the right decision on the sales project.(B)
A. why
B. that
C. whether
D. when
解析：doubt用在否定句中，同位语从句的引导词通常是that。
4.The meeting was put off because we________a meeting without John.(D)
A. objected having
B. were objected to having
C. objected to have
D. objected to having
解析：会议延期了，因为我们反对在约翰不到会的情况下开会。object to doing这个固定词组中to是介词，后跟动名词作宾语，表示“反对”，因此选项D正确。
5.All the following sentences have an appositive EXCEPT________(B)
A. Only one problem still remains—the food.
B. She bought herself a pair of new shoes.
C. My friends all understand and support me.
D. She liked her current job, teaching English.
解析：A项the food补充说明主语only one problem，是非限制性同位语：C项中的代词all是my friends的同位语；D项teaching English补充说明her current job，是它的同位语。B项含有buy sb. sth. 的双宾语结构，句中没有同位语。
6.Do you know Jimmy? He is________.(B)
A. too much the family man
B. too much of a family man
C. a family man enough
D. enough of a family man
解析：你认识吉米吗？他是一个很喜欢家庭生活的人。结构“of a+n. ”相当于一个形容词，表示具有什么性质，前面可加表示程度的修饰语。短语too much表示“太多，太过分”，修饰of a family man，故B正确。enough可直接修饰名词；修饰形容词时应放在所修饰词之后，因此C、D都不正确。
7.They are sweating all over. They________in the field.(B)
A. may be
B. must have been working
C. could be
D. must having been working
解析：他们浑身是汗，准是一直在地里劳动。情态动词可和一个动词的完成进行式构成谓语，表示“想必一直在，应当一直在”等意思。本句must表示肯定推测，同时根据句意，劳动一直在进行，故B项must have been working正确。
8.There had, of course, been dictionaries in the past, the first of these________a little book of some 120 pages.(D)
A. to be
B. to have been
C. be
D. being
解析：此前当然也曾有过词典，最早的是一本约120页的小书。本句the first of these是分词being的逻辑主语，独立主格结构在句中作状语，表示伴随状况。故D正确。
9.The first textbook________for teaching as a foreign language came out in the 16th century.(D)
A. to write
B. to be written
C. writing
D. written
解析：第一部用作外语教学的教科书出现在16世纪。动词分词可以修饰名词作定语，如果被修饰的名词和分词间是被动关系，用过去分词。本句中的the first textbook与write之间是被动关系，故选项D正确。to be written虽然有被动含义，但表示尚未完成的动作，不符合题意。
10.A person can actually do any job________that they get the right qualifications for it and work hard at it.(A)
A. provided
B. lest
C. granted
D. despite
解析：实际上一个人可以从事任何工作，只要具有相应的素质并努力工作。provided作连词表示“在……的条件下，如果”，引导条件状语从句。根据句意，A符合题意。lest表示“唯恐，以免，免得”，后不需 that；granted表示“即使”，引导让步状语从句；despite为介词，后跟从句时须用despite the fact that。
11.Although the volume of work was considerable, the nature of the business was____
