　　C. not inviting D. not to be invited

　　B

　　2. "_____ your meeting is!" he offered them his sincere congratulations.

　　A. How a great success B. What a great success

　　C. How great success D. What great success

　　B success 名詞，保留遠(yuǎn)動(dòng)詞含義"成功"是不可數(shù)名詞;如用來代替具體的人(成功者)或具體的事(成功的事情(東西))是可數(shù)名詞。故排除C,D;A中how是副詞，如改成how great a success就是正確的。

　　3. We must remember that _____fashion is not the most important thing in _______ life.

　　A. /; the B. /; / C. the; / D. the; the

　　B 抽象名詞不特指時(shí)，前不用冠詞。

　　4. It _____ quite a few years _____ the accused was declared innocent and set free.

　　A. was; since B. is; that

　　C. will be; when D. was; before

　　D 如將A項(xiàng)中was, since改成is, since是正確的;即從句中謂語(yǔ)先發(fā)生。如用B項(xiàng)，是強(qiáng)調(diào)句，而強(qiáng)調(diào)句前后兩個(gè)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞在時(shí)間上必須一致(a);被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分能還回原句中(b)，即因?yàn)榫渲衱as declared是過去時(shí), B項(xiàng)中is改成was;因?yàn)榫渲衱as declared是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，在years后加上ago將"一段" 時(shí)間變成"一點(diǎn)"就是正確的。C 項(xiàng)前后時(shí)間不一致。

　　5. The professor said he could talk on _____ interested the audience.

　　A. any topic B. which topic

　　C. whichever topic D. the topic he thought it

　　C whichever已失去疑問含義，等于 anything that，表示強(qiáng)調(diào); 而 which topic中 which保留疑問含義，譯成"哪一個(gè)題目"，不符合句義。而A和D中缺少連詞。

　　6.Under no circumstance _____ to tell lies to parents.

　　A. children are allowed B. are children allowed

　　C. children will allow D. will children allow

　　B.含有否定意義的副詞及介詞短語(yǔ)放在句首時(shí)，句子中主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)用部分倒裝。

　　7.Modern science and technology has _____ communication between people far apart.

　　A. made convenient B. made it convenient

　　C. made it convenient for D. made it convenient to

　　A 題目中has made是謂語(yǔ)，communication between people far apart短語(yǔ)是賓語(yǔ)，convenient是賓語(yǔ)的補(bǔ)語(yǔ)，被前置。如用B項(xiàng),it是形式賓語(yǔ)代替不定式或從句。

　　8.I heard that you really had a wonderful time at John's birthday party, _____?

　　A. didn't I B. didn't you

　　C. hadn't you D. will you

　　B含賓語(yǔ)從句和定語(yǔ)從句的主從復(fù)合句，反意疑問句隨主句變;但是在含有賓語(yǔ)從句的住句中主語(yǔ)是第一人稱時(shí)反意疑問句隨從句一致。

　　A. as B. that C. than D. but

　　A

　　10.No matter how frequently _____ the works of Beethoven always attract a large number of people.

　　A. performing B. performed

　　C. to be performed D. being performed

　　B 在讓步，時(shí)間等狀語(yǔ)從句中，如果主從句中主語(yǔ)一致，從句中謂語(yǔ)含 be動(dòng)詞，可以將從句中的主語(yǔ)和 be 省略，即在how 后加they(the works) are，再分別與選擇項(xiàng)搭配后，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)正確答案是B。

　　11._____ their real economic situations, they got some relief fund from the government.

　　A. Considering B. Considered

　　C. Having been considered D. Being considered

　　A considering "考慮到"，而 considered "被認(rèn)為"，根據(jù)全句含義，句中主語(yǔ)they和considering是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此選擇項(xiàng)。

　　12.Tina _____ have known the truth, or she would have told us.

　　A. mustn't B. shouldn't C. can't D. needn't

　　C

　　13.There are some police cars in front. What do you suppose _____?

　　A

　　14._____ of water makes Death Valley a desert, but it is by no means devoid.

　　A. Lacking B. Being lack C. Because of lack D. Lack

　　D lack 作名詞，后加of短語(yǔ)。如用A項(xiàng),lacking是及物動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)名詞，后面不用介詞of或作不及物動(dòng)詞,后面加介詞in…。

　　15. In recent years much more emphasis has been put______ developing the students productive skills.

　　A. onto B. in C. over D. on

　　D put/ place/ lay emphasis on 是固定搭配，表示"強(qiáng)調(diào)，注重。"
