语言知识
1.The Bent Pyramid outside Cairo________ancient Egypt’s first attempt to build a smoothsided pyramid.(C)
A. has been believed to have been
B. was believed to be
C. is believed to have been
D. is believed to be
解析：开罗城外的弯曲金字塔被认为是古代埃及首次尝试建造的表面平滑的金字塔。题干中ancient Egypt’s first attempt to…只是人们的猜测，has been believed“一直被认为”不符合生活常识，因此排除A项。句中没有关于该建筑物现在已不再被认为是……的描述，所以排除B项。金字塔建于古代埃及，不定式表示的动作先于is believed发生，因此不定式需要用完成时态，故C项is believed to have been为正确答案。
2.If only the patient________a different treatment instead of using the antibiotics, he might still be alive now.(A)
A. had received
B. received
C. should receive
D. were receiving
解析：if on如常常用来表达强烈的愿望或遗憾，主要用在虚拟语气中。由于所提事实与过去事实相反。所以用过去完成时，选A。
3.Barry had an advantage over his mother________he could speak French.(B)
A. since that
B. in that
C. at that
D. so that
解析：in that为固定词组，表示“既然，因为”，可引导原因状语从句，因此选项B正确。A项中的since也有“既然，由于”的意思，但一股直接引导句子，不接that。
4.She hired a lawyer to investigate, only to learn that Gabriel had removed her name from the deed. The infinitive verb phrase \\(C)
A. to express an intended purpose
B. to indicate a high. degree of possibility
C. to reveal an undesirable consequence
D. to dramatize a stated fact
解析：她雇了一名律师进行调查，结果却发现加布里埃尔已将她的名字从契约上移除。不定式动词短语only to learn用于表示令人失望的结果。only置于不定式前面，常用于表示结果令人失望或出乎意外，only to意为“结果却，不料”，故选C项“揭示出让人不快的结果”。A项“表达预期目的”，B项“暗示有更大的可能性”，D项“夸大所讲事实”。
5.Which of in the following phrases indicates a subject-predicate relationship?(C)
A. The occupation of the island.
B. The law of Newton.
C. The arrival of the tourists.
D. The plays of Oscar Wilde.
解析：下列的of短语中哪个表示主谓关系？考查of的用法。A“占领岛屿”表示动宾关系，B“牛顿法则”表示来源，C“游客的到来”表示主谓关系，D“奥斯卡.王尔德的戏剧”表示来源。因此选C。
6.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?(D)
A. The United States is a country with varied origins.
B. My mathematics are rather shaky.
C. The Straits of Gibraltar have not lost the strategic importance.
D. One pair of scissors aren’t enough.
解析：下列哪项表述不正确？“剪刀”这类由两部分构成、且以s结尾的名词作主语，不带pair等单位词时，视为复数形式，而带单位词时，则由单位词的单、复数形式决定动词单、复数，D的aren’t错误，故选D。以s结尾的国名，视为一个整体，作单数，A正确；以ics结尾的学科名词，取其他意义时，便可用作复数，B项的mathematics表示“运算能力”；以-s结尾，且不表示国名的地理名称作主语时，常作复数，因此C正确。
7.Which of the following sentences expresses a future action?(B)
A. Karl is continually finding fault with his classmates.
B. We are leaving Seattle next week.
C. The boy is now trying on a new shirt.
D. I’m hoping that you’ll come back soon.
解析：下列哪个句子表示将来的行为？B“我们下周将离开西雅图”，由时间状语next week也可看出B项表示将来动作。A“卡尔不断找他同学的茬”中含有副词continually，continually与现在进行时连用时，表达赞扬、不满、厌烦等感情色彩。C“那个男孩正在试穿一件新衬衣”含有时间状语now，表示现在进行的动作。D“我希望你尽快回来”，其中are hoping表婉转的说话语气。
8.There has not been a great response to the sale,________?(D)
A. does there
B. hasn’t it
C. hasn’t there
D. has there
解析：销路没有较大反响，是吗？当陈述部分是there be形式时，附加疑问句部分的主语也用there。此题陈述部分为否定，故附加疑问句用肯定，选项D正确。
9.The hours________the children spend in their one-way relationship with television people, undoubtedly affect their relationships with real-life people.(B)
A. when
B. that
C. in which
D. on which
解析：孩子们花时间看电视，跟电视中的人物发生单向的联系，这毫无疑问影响他们在现实生活中的人际关系。关系代词that引导定语从句，并在从句中作宾语，故B正确。关系副词when引导定语从句在从句中作时间状语，不符合题意。
