语言知识
1.________dull he may be, he is certainly a very successful top executive.(D)
A. Although
B. Whatever
C. As
D. However
解析：句子结构题。选项中能修饰形容词的只有However。Whatever后接名词；Although和As作连词，后接句子。故D为答案。
2.Which of the following sentences expresses \\(B)
A. You must leave immediately.
B. You must be feeling rather tired.
C. You must be here by eight o’clock.
D. You must complete the reading assignment on time.
解析：情态动词题。must作为情态动词，可以用来表示命令，即必须如何，也可以表示肯定的推测，即可能会怎样。A意为“你必须马上离开”，C意为“你必须8点前到这里”，D意为“你必须按时完成阅读作业”，这三句中的must都是用来表示命令。B意为“你一定感到很累了”，表示可能性，故为答案。
3.He asked me to lend him some money, which I agreed to do, ________that he paid me back the following week.(C)
A. on occasion
B. on purpose
C. on condition
D. only if
解析：短语连接词辨析题。on condition表示“以……为条件”；on occasion表示“有时”；on purpose表示“故意”；only if表示“只有(在……的情况下才)”，也有“以……为条件”的意思，但是使用only if的时候不需要在后边加that。因此只有on condition符合题意，故C为答案。
4.The thieves fled with the local police close on their________.(D)
A. backs
B. necks
C. toes
D. heels
解析：固定短语题。on／at one’s heels为固定短语，意思为“紧跟在后面，紧随其后”。故D为答案。
5.There are still many problems ahead of us, but by this time next year we can see light at the end of the________.(D)
A. battle
B. day
C. road
D. tunnel
解析：固定搭配题。sec light at the end of the tunnel是固定搭配，表示“看到希望，有希望”。故D为答案。
6.If you explained the situation to your solicitor, he________ able to advise you much better than I can.(A)
A. would be
B. will have been
C. was
D. were
解析：虚拟语气题。题干所述与过去事实相反，从句用的是过去时态，主句要用过去将来时态。故A为答案。
7.Because fuel supplies are finite and many people are wasteful, we will have to install________solar heating device in our home.(A)
A. some type of
B. some types of a
C. some type of a
D. some types of
解析：语义理解题。some在本题中不表示“一些”而表示“某一种”，因为这种设备只是对未来的一种设想，还没有成为现实，所以要用some表示不确定性。且type of之后接不加限定词的单数或不可数名词，故A为答案。
8.Do you know Tim’s brother? He is________than Tim.(B)
A. much more sportsman
B. more of a sportsman
C. more of sportsman
D. more a sportsman
解析：固定结构题。“be of a(n)+noun\\
9.Professor Johnson’s retirement________from next January.(B)
A. carries into effect
B. takes effect
C. has effect
D. puts into effect
解析：动词短语辨析题。carry into effect和put into effect表示的是“使……生效”，要带宾语或用被动语态；take effect可以独立使用，直接说sth. takes effect。题干中句子的主语是retirement，根据句意与动词短语用法可知，B为答案。C表示的是“有影响”，与句意不符，故排除。
10.Since the early nineties, the trend in most businesses has been toward on-demand, always-available products and services that suit the customer’s________rather than the company’s.(D)
A. benefit
B. availability
C. suitability
D. convenience
解析：名词辨析题。benefit表示“利益，好处”；availability表示“有效性，实用性”；suitability表示“合适，适当”；convenience表示“方便”。根据句意，D为答案。
11.________, he still kept on working.(C)
A. In case he was worn out
B. Even if he was worn out
C. Though he was worn out
D. Provided he was worn out
解析：连词搭配题。由still一词可以看出，前后语义存在转折关系。though意为“虽然，尽管”，符合句意，故C为答案。In case意为“假使”，表示假设，因此排除A；Even if意为“即使，纵然”，引导的从句往往表示假设，因此排除B；Provided意为“假如，如果”，表示假设，因此排除D。
12.________he did not dare to move an inch.(B)
A. Frightened so h
