Questions 59-63 refer to the following invoice and letter.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which

he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total

work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists

of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend

four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending

two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.

It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though

this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available

for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work,

but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to

positions in student organisations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline

is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have

broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers

of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held

one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

59.Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.

A) 36 B) 12

C) 20 D) 15

60.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______ .

A) to live in a different university

B) to take a particular course in a different university

34

C) to live at home and drive to classes

D) to get two degrees from two different universities

61.American university students are usually under pressure of work because _______ .

A) their academic performance will affect their future careers

B) they are heavily involved in student affairs

C) they have to observe university discipline

D) they want to run for positions of authority

62.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organisations probably because

.

A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study

B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university

C) such positions help them get better jobs

D) such positions are usually well paid

63.The student organisations seem to be effective in _______.

A) dealing with the academic affairs of the university

B) ensuring that the students observe university regulations

C) eva luating students' performance by bringing them before a court

A) keeping up the students' enthusiasm for social activities

单选题答案及详解

1.B【解析】介词（in）的后面应当使用名词形式。A 选项和B 选项都有可能，但考虑到空格中应该填入充当宾

语的名词，此处应填入主动语态。A 选项是被动语态，是错误的。

2.D【解析】be 动词的后面使用“形容词+介词”形式，往往考查的是固定搭配。be responsible for...对某事负

责。

3.D【解析】将其当作“be+形容词”的固定搭配来记忆。be concerned about sth.意为“关心某事，记挂某事”

4.C【解析】因为句子中没有谓语动词。所以排除D 选项。考虑到单复数的问题。排除A 选项。后面有宾语，所

以排除被动语态B 选项。

5.B【解析】be 动词后面的动词应使用过去分词，也就是形容词的形式，空格后有to，所以应当考虑固定搭配。

attribute A to B(=A is attributed to B)把A 归因于B （题目意在考查固定搭配的被动语态用法）

6.B 【解析】leasing 和provding 都和be involved in 有关。本体考查及物动词（providing）和宾语（services）

中间能够填入的形容词。解题的提示在于truck 一词。给顾客提供了什么服务呢？应当选B 选项。即提供了物流服务。

7.Ｃ【解析】C suggest 一词是关键的解题提示。suggeset 有“主张、要求、命令、提议、忠告”等意思。that

引导的从句中，动词的前面省略了表示你“应该”这样做的should，因此这里应该使用动词原形。由于后面有宾语，

所以A 选项是错误的。

8.D【解析】介词的后面的人称代词应当用宾语形式。因此D 选项是正确答案。实际上ourselves 和ours 也有可

能用作宾格，但为什么用在这里不对呢？ourselves 和动词（expect）的主体consumers 不一致。ours 的意思是“我们

的东西”，而这里没有讲到“我们的东西”是什么。

9.A【解析】和need 同类的及物动词，当变成被动语态时后面不需要加任何东西。因此，做状语的A 选项是正

确答案。“...为了做某事”在这里是状语的用法。

10.A【解析】凡是考查介词的题目，请务必注意它和后面名词的关系，后面的名词rate 有“价格；速度；比率”

的意思，且任何一种意思通常都与at 搭配使用。因为at 具有可以数字搭配的属性

11.C【解析】空格前是形容词性物主代词，因此空格内应填入名词。同时也是考查固定搭配，因此C 选项是正

确答案。do one's utmost 意为“尽某人的最大努力”。

12.C【解析】名词（data）后有主语（you），因此应想到这里省略了引导定语从句的关系词。关系词是连词，

you 是主语，因此空格内应填入谓语动词。C 选项和D 选项都是谓语动词，此时应考虑是主动语态还是被动语态。give

36

是及物动词，us 是间接宾语，省略了关系词可看做直接宾语。所以这里应当填入主动语态C 选项。

13.D【解析】只要出现两个“S+V”,就要考虑填入连词，B 选项是介词，应排除。剩下的都是引导状语从句的

连词，答案就要通过释义来判断。

14.A【解析】本题考查形容词的用法，因此要考虑和它修饰的名词（matter）的关系。要记住significant 在这

里是“重要的”的意思。

15.B 【解析】空格后有介词，因此应填入不及物动词，同时与该介词形成固定搭配。comply with 意为“遵守

（要求、命令等）”。

16.C 【解析】空格后是名词，所以空格中应填入机务动词。仔细考虑与宾语的搭配，attract customers 意为“吸

引顾客”。

17.C 【解析】冠词和名词的中间应填入形容词。此处的正确答案是lasting impression，意为“持久的印象”。

18.C【解析】形容词放在名词后面修饰名词，省略了which/who is。因此这里仍然是“be+形容词+介词”的形

式。be commensurate with 意为“与某物成比例”。

19.A【解析】空格内应填入引导名词从句的连词，从句做does（及物动词）的宾语。另外，空格后的句子里没

有do 的宾语，是不完整的。因此填入what 是正确的。

20.A【解析】空格后是名词复数，这是一个很明显的提示。能和名词复数搭配的就是A 选项。less 和不可数名

词搭配；another 用在单数棵树名词之前；a lot 是副词，不能修饰名词，但a lot of 既可修饰可数名词复数，又可修

饰不可数名词。

21.C【解析】空格后的句子（it flies to）是不完整的，因此可排除关系副词。在what 和that 之中，应当选择

能够修饰先行词的关系代词that（在从句中是宾语）。

22.B【解析】4 个选项都是介词。如果不能从后面的名词来判断答案，那么就要考虑不是和前面的动词构成固定

搭配了。contribute A to B 向B 提供A。记住“contribute to+名词”也能以不及物动词的形式使用。

23.B【解析】plan 在这里是以to 不定式为宾语的及物动词。B 选项和D 选项为动词原形，因此可能是正确答案。

接下来，句子中有明确的宾语，这是解题的关键。当剧中两个动词以and 链接时，and 后面的动词（reorganize）如

果宾语，则动词是主动语态，否则就是被动语态。

24.A【解析】空格前面的部分是个完整的句子，因此空格内应填入使后面的名词变成修饰语的介词。有此功能

的介词是A 选项和D 选项，其中A 选项在意义上更为符合。

25.D【解析】这里的then 是名词，它的前面应该填入介词。选项中只有D 选项是介词，其他选项都是副词。

26.B【解析】空格内应填入名词，所以排除A 选项。剩下的选项通过释义来判断，remove a hurdle 意为“一处

障碍物”。
