26She is quite a different girl __C___ she was five years ago.?
A. from B. to? C. than D. with
答案解析： 按照英语的表达习惯，要表示甲与乙不同，通常用be different
from，如：Mary is different from
Jane.玛丽与简不同。其中的介词from在英国英语中也可换成to，在美国英语中也可换成than，但两者均不如用from普遍。许多同学据此将上题的最佳答案确定为A，但错了，最佳答案应是C。一般说来，若两个比较的对象是名词、代词或状语短语等，则用different
from［to, than］。但是若提出来供比较的对象是一个没有引导词的句子，则通常只用different than。
27.―Did Jack come back early last night?

A．before B．When C．that D．until
解析:本题将yet后加at则选C构成强调句。
28.He wrote a lot of novels, none of ___A__ translated into a foreign language.
A. them B. which ? C . it D. what??
答案解析：同学们容易误选B，理由是none前没有并列连词 and 或
but，但B项是一个陷阱。此题的最佳答案应是A，注意此句不是并列句也不是含有非限制性定语从句的复合句。逗号后面其实是一个独立结构。translated
不是谓语，而是一个非谓语动词（过去分词），所以假若在 translated 前加一个助动词were就选择B.
29. --- Who should I send this message to ? --- The mayor is the one _D__ ?
A. to send it B. to be sent C. for sending D. to send it to
答案解析：第一句提供了语境"应把消息送给谁？""应送给市长"。故A是错误的，正确答案为D，即send the message to the
30. The young man spent as much time as he ___C__ over his lessons.
A. went B. can go C. could going D. could to go
答案解析：此题除考查理解句子结构的能力外，还考查了动词短语spend some
time(in)doing sth的用法，所以答案为C。
31.Sarah hopes to become a friend of ___C__ shares her interests.?
A. anyone B. whomever C. whoever D. no matter who
答案解析：此题不能选A，假若选A，应在其后加上who，即用 anyone
who；也不能选B，一是因为横线处应填一个作主语的词(因为其后有谓语动词
shares)，二是因为在现代英语中 whomever这个词已基本废除
也就是说，在现代英语中whoever 既用做主语，也用做宾语，如：Give it to whoever you see in the meeting-room.
你在会议室里看见谁就把它给谁)；也不能选D，因为 no matter
who只用于引导让步状语从句，不用于引导名词性从句。此题正确答案为C，whoever 在此相当于anyone who。
32. 2. There must be ___A__ book which could help .
A. some B. any C. one D. one useful
答案是A项。some除了用作数量词外，还可用来泛指未知的人或事物。又如：There must besome reason for what he has done . (他所做的事肯定基于某种原因。)
33. If you ___A__ stop smoking , you can only expect to have a bad cough .
A. won't B. would not C. do not D. can not
答案是A项。will除了用作表示将来时的助动词外，还可用来强调愿意或不愿意。又如：
If you will would wait a moment , I will fetch the money . (如果你肯/愿意稍等片刻，我就把钱取来。)但是在表示不肯或不愿意时，则只能使用won't，不能使用would not。
34. Take a taxi , _C____ you'll miss your train .
A. and B. if C. otherwise D. or
答案是C项。祈使句可用来取代if从句来表示评论、提出要求、发出忠告或威胁等。用祈使句比用if从句表达更强的紧迫性。在表示评论和要求时，其连词用and，表示忠告时用连词otherwise，表示威胁时，用连词or。例如：Fail to pay and they will cut off the electricity .
(不交钱，他们就会中断供电。)这是客观的评论；Tell us what to do and we will get on with it .
(如果你告诉我们该做些什么，我们就会把它做好。)这明显是请求；Put on you overcoat when you go out , otherwise you will catch cold .
(外出时你应该穿上大衣，不然的话你会感冒的。)显然这是忠告；Drop that gun , or I will shoot you . (把枪放下，否则我就开枪打死你。)很明显，这是威胁。
35. I posted the letter some time __B___ the week .
A. in B. during C. throughout D. within
36. 8. I'll have you __A____ English in six months .
A. speaking B. speak C. spoken D. be able to speak
答案是A项。"have＋宾语＋doing"这一结构有以下五种用法。（1）用来表示我们一心要取得的效果，如：He promised to have me swimming across the river in two weeks' time .
(他答应在两周之内使我能游过那条河。)；（2）用来表示使宾语持续做某事,如：In cold winter we always have the fire burning day and night .(在冬天，我们总是让火日以继夜地燃烧着。)；（3）用来表示不想发生的后果， 如：Don't shout ! You will have the neighbors complaining !(别大声嚷嚷！你会使邻居有意见的！)；（4）用来表示说话人控制不了的情况， 如：We have salesmen or saleswomen calling every day .(我们每天都得任凭推销员们的造访。)；（5）这一结构前如用can not 或won't，则表示"不能/愿容忍"宾语做某事，如：I won't / can not have you speaking like that about your father .(我不允许/不能容忍你那样无礼貌地谈论你自己的父亲。)
37.___C__ in thought , he almost ran into the car in front of him .
A. Losing B. Having lost C. Lost D. To lost
答案是C项。过去分词有三个用途：（1）表示被动，如：the oppressed people ( =
the people who are oppressed ) 被压迫的人们，
又如：the exploited class ( = the class that is exploited ) 被剥削阶级；
（2）表示完成，如：the fallen leaves ( = the leaves which have fallen ) 落叶，
又如：an escaped prisoner ( = a prisoner who has run out of prison ) 一个逃犯；
（3）表示状态，如：a broken window ( = a window that is broken ) 一扇破窗子，
又如：lost in thought陷入沉思。
38.The boss praised the young man for his hard work, though he _B___ experience.
A. was lack of B. was lacking in?C. lacks of D. was lacking of
此题答案选b，be lacking in是习语，意为“缺乏”，其后通常接experience, frankness,
courage等抽象名词。选a是错误的，因为lack可用做名词和动词，但不用做形容词；选c是错误的，因为lack用做动词时，它是及物动词，其后不用介词(注：用做名词的
lack后可接介词of)；选d是错误的，因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。lack of＋名词： The plants died for lack of water.
lack 名词： We lack the strength to walk any further.
短语： be lacking:欠缺、缺： Money was lacking to complete the building.
be lacking in缺乏（某种品质、特点等）,不够： He is not lacking in intelligence.
lack for 缺（多用于否定句） She does not lack for friends.
39.----Does Liu Hua serve in the army?
----No,but he A in the army for three years.

40----This returned Chinese scholar has become one of the top experts in this field.
----Yes,I know him very well.He C in
A、has worked B、had worked C、worked D、has been working
解析；since，FOR作为连词，引导时间状语（从句）
如果谓语动词是延续性的一般过去时，其表达的含义是“从这个动作结束以来”，恰好和动词的词义相反，具有否定的含义；如果谓语动词是非延续性的一般过去时，其表达的含义是“从这个动作开始以来”，恰好和动词的词义一致，具有肯定的含义
It is 3 years since her husband worked as a news journalist. 她丈夫不当记者已三年了。

42.Oh, it's you, I'm sorry I _ C know you here.
A. don't, are B. didn't, are C. didn't ,were D. don't, were
解析：时态的呼应
有一些从句，特别是在宾语从句中，谓语动词的时态经常受主句谓语动词时态的影响。说话人必须使之一致，如：I did not know you were here。本来you were here 该用you are here。但由于受did not know的影响，就要用you were here。这种现象就叫时态的呼应，如下列句子：He told us that he would go abroad. 他告诉我们他要出国。
he lived in
但是，这也要根据实际情况来定，下列句子中所用的时态就不一致
The teacher told us that day that the earth goes round the sun. 那天老师告诉我们说地球绕着太阳转。
At that time his hair was not so gray as it is now. 那时他的头发没有象现在这样灰白。

They began preparing their English songs last week,though the party will not be held until the end of this month. 尽管晚会这个月底才举行，他们上星期就开始准备英语歌曲了。
Last night I read the novel you are reading now. 昨晚我读了你现在读的小说。
43. I B to have another try if I get another chance.
A. have been meaning B. mean C. am meaning D. have meant
解析：本题是一个条件状语从句，从句用一般现在时 住句用将来时态，mean to,plan to含有将来时间的意味
44. ―Now that y高考资源网ou like the personal computer very much, isn’t it a good idea to get one?

45. "Where A you put the ruler? I can't see it anywhere."

46.
――The weather is too cold __A__ March this year.
――It was still ____ when I came here years ago.
A. for; colder B. in; cold C. in; hot D. for; hotter
解析：本题考查考生运用介词和比较级的能力。For在这里是“就……而言”的意思，而第二个选项要抓住信息词still在此处的妙用，它是用来修饰比较级的，加上上文的cold，在此处就不难选择colder了。
47.
He is only too ready to help others, seldom, __B__, refusing them when they turn to him.
A. if never B. if ever C. if not D. if any
解析：本题考查考生在语境中灵活运用. 辨析短语用法的能力，此处seldom，if ever是一个短语，是“从不，决不”的意思。
48.。

解析: B 本题however you like相当于in whatever way you like，根据语境，不难判断出B为正确答案。
49. he was going to take the beautiful shells away after the teacher
__watched____(watch)them.(每空一词)
解析：一般说来，如果在过去某一时间内先后发生了两个动作，那么先发生的动作用过去完成时，后发生的动作用一般过去时。但是若用连词after 来连接这两个动作，由于after本身已说明了两个动作的先后关系，所以两者均可用一般过去时。 所以这里填watched

The way he answered me was special. 他答复我的方式很独特。
