　　答案与分析

　　1. A taught 是it is taught 的省略形式。

　　2. D 此句是“It is/ was +被强调部分+that”结构，后一个 that引导的是同位语从句，修饰 decision。

　　3. B 从空后的It was less wonderful than expected我们看一看出说话人不喜欢昨天晚上的演出，因此回答No, I didn’t。

　　4. A 由转折词yet可知“我们之中没有一个知道到哪里去找医生”。 no one, nobody 不可与of连用。neither 指“两者中没有一个”，不合句意。

　　5. C That’s right.意为“你说得对”，正合题意。

　　6. B no worse than 意为“不比……差”，意思是“一样好”。C选项中的 well不合适。

　　7. C主、从句时态要一致，故用过去进行时表示过去将来。

　　8. D强调动作发生在过去。

　　11. D left与 remaining 都意为“剩余的”，但left用作后置定语，而 remaining 用作前置定语。

　　12.C 本题考查副词though的使用。though用在句末，前面有逗号，表达转折，意思是“然而”。分析空前的两句I’m suffering from a cold .Nothing serious，我们知道他们为转折关系。

　　13. A could表达委婉的请求，对其进行回答时，要用you can或certainly等，而不可以用could。

　　14. B此题考查虚拟语气，叙述过去的情况，表示“本来可以……”。

　　15. C此题用现在完成时的被动语态，表示现在的结果。

　　6. C insist on sth. (doing sth.)为固定搭配，意思是“坚持做某事”；第一空也可以用that he was punished，因为insist在这里是“坚持”的意思；第二空的insist是“坚持说”的意思，因此后面不用虚拟语气。

　　7. A 该题考查现在分词作定语、状语的用法。 题中两个现在分词的逻辑主语都是bell。该句的汉意为：宣布下课的铃声，打断了我们热烈的讨论。

　　8. A 句意为“(我对)你的脸很熟悉”，即是“熟悉的”的意义。

　　12. A 现在分词作结果状语，表达意料之中或必然的结果。

　　13. A that在这里是程度副词，意思是“那么”，相当于so。

　　14. A Judging from为固定搭配，在这里judging不与the old man形成逻辑主动或被动关系。wear, have on, dress都有“穿，戴”的意思，但搭配和意义不同。wear和have on都可以表示“穿着”的状态，然而have on没有进行时态；dress可以作及物和不及物动词，作不及物动词的意思是“穿衣”，作及物动词时宾语是人。

　　15. C the knife and fork意思是“刀叉”，为成套的东西，前面有了定冠词the后面的冠词省略掉。
