第2章

Multiple Choice:

1)The government_____ itself into serious trouble if it doesn't solve the economic problem.

A. has B. get C. will get D. had

答案：C “get oneself into trouble” 使自身陷入困境；从句用一般现在时，主句应该用一般将来时。

2) It was very noisy in the hall. I _____make myself heard above the noise.

A. can't B. couldn't C. won't D. wouldn't

答案：B 两个句子应该保持时态一致。且这里表示的是因为噪音我不具备让别人听见我的声音的能力。

3)E-mail, as well as telephones, _____an important part in daily communication.

A. is playing B. have played C. are playing D. play

答案：A 谓语动词应该和主语保持一致；这里的主语只是 “E-mail”。

4) _____has helped to save the drowning girl is worth praising.

A. Who B. The one C. Anyone D. Whoever

答案：D 句中 “______ has helped to save the drowning girl”是一个主语从句，从句中缺主语，可以用who或whoever，但是前者指的是某个或某些固定的人，而后者指的是任何人；如果使用anyone作主语，后面应该再加一个who，引导定语从句，修饰anyone。

5) _____is mentioned above, the number of the students in senior high schools is

rapidly increasing.

A. Which B. As C. That D. It

答案：B 这是as引导的非限制性定语从句。

6) _____ your composition carefully, some spelling mistakes can be avoided.

A. Having checked B. Check C. If you check D. To check

答案：C 非谓语动词结构作状语时，其逻辑主语必须和句子主语一致，句子的主语是some

spelling mistakes，因此A和D都不可以，因为这两个非谓语动词都是主动式，根据句意其逻辑主语应当是check的执行者（某人）；选项B是动词原形，构成一个祈使分句，两个分句构成并列句必须有并列连词或分号，因此选项B不能是答案；答案只能是C，前面是一个条件状语从句，后面是主句。

7)The number of the employees has grown from 1000 to 1200. This means it has risen

_____20 percent.

A. by B. at C. to D. with

答案：A 在表示“提高、增长、下降、减少”等意义的动词后面通常可以跟两个介词：by表示“...了”，to表示“...到”。

8)Books of this kind___ well.

A. sell B. sells C. are sold D. is sold

答案：A 主语是books，谓语动词应该用复数形式，此处谓语动词是主动形式表示被动意义。（如果主语是this kind of books，谓语动词应该和kind保持一致，使用单数形式。）

9)One more week, _____ we will accomplish the task.

A. or B. so that C. and D. if

答案：C 这是一个并列句，前面是一个名词短语构成的其实分句，两个分句之间表示顺承关系，应该使用and。

10)There was a lot of fun at yesterday's party. You___ come, but why didn't you?

A. must have B. should C. need have D. ought to have

答案：D ought to have done表示本应该做某事，但事实上却没做。

11) It is not rare nowadays _____people in _____ fifties are going to university for

further education.

A. the, their B. the, the C. that, their D. that, /

答案：C 句子当中It是形式主语，后面是主语从句，从句中主谓结构完整，应该使用连词that；in one’s fifties是固定结构，表示“在某人五十来岁的时候”。

12) _____everybody knows about it, I don't want to talk about it any more.

A. For B. Even C. Since D. However

答案：C 这是since引导的原因状语从句，表示这个原因是已知的事实。

13) A computer does only what thinking people _____

A. have it do B. have it done C. have done it D. having it done

答案：A 句子中what引导的是一个宾语从句，从句中主语时thinking people，谓语是“have

sb do sth”结构。

Error correction:

1) Whether believe or not, the girl won three Olympic medals in track events.

改成：Believe it or not，意思是“信不信由你”。

2) You either leave at once, or I shall call the police.

改成：Either you leave at once, 句子中 “”连接的是平行结构，两部分应该词性和句法功能一致，这里连接的是两个分句。

3) He can't see, nor he could hear until a month ago.

改成：nor could he，“nor+助动词+主语...”表示“主语也不...”。

4) Our vacation was a disaster: the food was not only terrible, the weather was awful as well.

改成：not only was the food terrible，“(but) ...as well”连接的是平行结构。

5) Though he is not rich, but he is very generous.

改成：(yet)，though和but不能同时出现在同一个句子中，但是可以用yet。

6) I thought the conditions would get better, but, as it were, they are getting worse.

改成：is，根据句意，“条件变差”在句中不是与事实相反的，而是与现在事实相符的，不能用虚拟语气。

7) So long as I know, the news is true.

改成：So/As far as， “So/As far as I know”是固定结构，表示“据我所知”。

8) She looked around as if she is in search of somebody.

改成：were，在as if/though的从句中使用虚拟语气表示不确定性或与事实相反。

9) I didn't manage to do it when you explained how.

改成：until，这个时间状语从句用until引导才能使句意通顺。

10) It never rains so long as it pours.

改成：but， “”是一个双重否定结构，表示“要是...的话必定...”。

11) Not a single day goes by without me think of her.

改成：but that I，这是一个双重否定句，翻译成“没有一天是在我不想她的情况下过去的”。

12) We won't give up until we should fail ten times.

改成：wouldn’t...，这是一个虚拟语气的句子。

13) Your composition is quite all right, on the contrary, there are some spelling mistakes in it.
