语言知识
1.After ________ seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to enter the personnel manager’s office.(C)
A. that
B. it
C. what
D. there
解析：本题考查时间状语从句。此处为after引导的时间状语，该从句缺少主语，故需填入一个能作主语的连接词，所以本题选C。
2.There________nothing more for discussion, the meeting came to an end half an hour earlier.(C)
A. to be
B. to have been
C. being
D. be
解析：本句为there be句型用于独立主格结构，there be句型在句首作状语表示原因、条件等，故此处应填being。本句中There being nothing more for discussion为独立主格结构，表示原因，后半句中the meeting为句子的主语，谓语动词为came，故答案选C。
3.There were 150________at the international conference this summer.(C)
A. spectators
B. viewers
C. participants
D. onlookers
解析：spectator意为“(比赛等的)观众，旁观者”；viewer意为“观看者，观众”；participant意为“参加者，参与人”；onlooker意为“旁观者，观看者”。根据句意“今年夏天有150人参加了国际会议”可知，本题选C。
4.The international situation has been growing________difficult for the last few years.(C)
A. invariably
B. presumably
C. increasingly
D. dominantly
解析：考查副词词义辨析。过去几年的国际形势日益严峻。invariably意为“不变地”；presumably意为“大概地”；dominantly意为“支配地”，均不符合句意。increasingly意为“日益地，愈加地”，结合句中的growing可知C为正确答案。
5.It seems oil________from this pipe for some time. We’ll have to take the machine apart to put it right.(D)
A. had leaked
B. is leaking
C. leaked
D. has been leaking
解析：考查动词时态。这段时间好像油一直从这个管子里漏出来，我们得把机器拆开来好好修理一下了。后一句话为一般将来时，由此可以推断前一句话的动作一直持续到现在。为了强调leak为一直进行的动作，故用现在完成进行时，选D。
6.Mr. Milton prefers to resign________part in such dishonest business deals.(C)
A. than take
B. than to take
C. rather than take
D. rather than to take
解析：考查固定句型。米尔顿先生宁愿辞职也不参与这种不诚实的交易。prefer意为“宁愿”，其后接名词或动词不定式；也可用于prefer to do sth．rather than do sth．结构，意为“宁愿…而不愿…”，rather than后接不带to的不定式，故选C。
7.The students expected there________more reviewing classes before the final exams.(D)
A. is
B. being
C. have been
D. to be
解析：考查非谓语动词。学生们期望在期末考试前有更多的复习课。动词expect后必须接动词不定式作其宾语，expect to do sth．的意思是“期望做某事”，故选D。
8.Of course, most immigrants did not get rich overnight, but the________of them were eventually able to improve upon their former standard of living.(C)
A. maximum
B. minority
C. majority
D. minimum
解析：考查名词词义辨析。当然，大部分移民者都不会一夜暴富，但是他们中的大多数人最终都能改善先前的生活标准。maximum意为“最大限量；最高点”；minority意为“少数”；majority意为“大多数”；minimum意为“最低限度，最低点”。根据句意可知C为正确答案。
9.Nancy was surprised that they have________. They seemed to be a happy couple.(A)
A. split up
B. broken down
C. fallen through
D. knocked out
解析：考查动词词组辨析。南希对他们的离婚很惊讶，因为他们似乎是一对快乐的夫妻。split up意为“分裂；离婚”；break down意为“(精神方面)垮掉；(健康)变得衰弱；崩溃”；fall through意为“失败；成为泡影”；knock out意为“使筋疲力尽”。根据句意可知A为正确答案。
10.In this factory the machines are not regulated________but are jointly controlled by a central computer system.(B)
A. independently
B. individually
C. irrespectively
D. irregularly
解析：考查副词词义辨析。在这个工厂里，机器不是单独控制的，而是由一个中央电脑系统统一控制independently意为“独立地”；individually意为“个别地，单独地”；irrespectively意为“无关地”；irregularly意为“不规则地”。由句子意思可知，此处所缺的词应该同jointly意思相反，故选B。
11.It’s not fair that you come home after a bad day at work and________your wife and children.(A)
A. take it out on
B. take out it on
C. take out on
D. take on it with
