1.答案： 删除seem后的the

【详细解答】本句中的most为副词，不是最高级形式，故不用定冠词the。翻译为“极其” 2.答案：but→and

【详细解答】根据文章内容判断，but后面的陈述与前文并不是相反之意，而是并列关系。 3.答案：in→to

【详细解答】as opposed to为固定搭配，意为“与??对照，与??相比”。

4.答案：misled→misleading 【详细解答】根据句意，这里的方式（way）是对他人有误导，不是被他人误导。所以应该用m islead的现在分词表示主动的含义。 5.答案：away

【详细解答】far away from意为“距离某处很远”，而far from being则意为“远不是，远 够不上”。根据上下文，这里是说“远非毫无意义”，故应该用短语far from being。

6.答案：single→only

【详细解答】此处用only修饰vehicle比用single更符合习惯用法。 7.答案：as→in

【详细解答】本句中的介词in表示“在??方面”，as则无此意。 8.答案：mean→means

【详细解答】by no means为固定搭配，意为“丝毫不，绝不”。 9.答案：have后加such

【详细解答】such ? as是常见表达方式，用来举例说明。 10.答案：number改为deal/amount

the new born child can do to ensure his own survival. Without care from some other human being or beings, be it mother,

In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is \

n talking for some time, but now the host has an appointment to keep and can get away. His urge to go is 1______

held in check by his desire not be rude to his guest. 2______ If he did not care of his guest's feelings he would 3______ simply get up out of his chair and to announce his4______

departure. This is what his body wants to do, therefore5______

his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him raise. It is at this point that he 6______

performs the chair-grasp Intention Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push 7______

himself upwards. This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not hesitating,8______

it would only last a fraction of the second. He would 9______

lean, push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his \ post and 10______

keeps on holding it. It is as if his body had frozen at the get-ready moment.

1.答案：can →must

【详细解答】根据上下文，短文第一句指出了“抓板凳”是典型的意图性动作。第二句就来解释这个动作发生的情景，即主客谈了许久后，主人有个约会，必须离开去赴约。这里要表示一种主动愿望“必须，不得不”的意思，而不是能力。所以应将can改为must。 2.答案：not∧→to。

【详细解答】本题属动词不定式否定形式的误用。one?s desire to do sth．为固定搭配，意 为“去做??的欲望，想去做??”，其否定形式是在to前面加not，即one?s desire not to do sth．意为“不愿去做??”。

3.答案：of→about【详细解答】本句是说“如果他不在意客人的感受，他就会从座位上站起来，说他要离开”，这里要表达“对??在意，在乎”，故应该用care about这一固定搭配，而care for意为“喜欢，爱好；照顾”，不合题意。 4.答案：to

【详细解答】本句中的get up out of his chair(从板凳上站起来)和announce his departure (说他要离开)是两个衔接很紧的动作，共用助动词would，所以应将to删掉。

5.答案：therefore→but

【详细解答】根据上下文，本句的前后两部分之间是转折关系。而therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系，因此应改用转折连词but。 6.答案：raise→rise。【详细解答】raise为及物动词，意为“使升高，提升；抚养，养育”，其后必须接宾语。而本句中的动词raise后无宾语，所以应改为rise。rise为不及物动词，意为“起身”。 7.答案：as∧→if或though

【详细解答】本句意为“身体向前，抓住椅子的扶手，就好像要把自己支撑起来一样”。而连词as不能表达“仿佛，好像”的意思，只有把它改成as if／though才合乎题意。

8.答案：make→perform或do 【详细解答】文中要表达的意思是“他将首先做出的动作。”只有perform／do an action表示“做动作”，而没有make an act这一

表达方式。

9.答案：the→a 【详细解答】定冠词the表特指，不定冠词a／an表泛指。这里是说“如果他不迟疑，动作只会花不到一秒的时间”，是泛指任何一秒，而不是特指某一秒，所以应该用不定冠词。

10.答案：post→posture【详细解答】post意为“柱杆；邮件；职位，岗位”等；posture意为“姿势，举止；态度”。这里是说“他保持着?随时起身?的姿势”，所以应用posture合乎题意

1996

The second most important constituent of the biosphere is liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C . This is only a tiny range compared with the low temperatures of some other planets and the hot interior of the earth, let the temperatures (1) of the sun. As we know, life would only be possible on the face of a (2) planet had temperatures somewhere within this range. (3) The earth's supply of water probably remains quite fairly (4)

constant in quantity. A certain number of hydrogen atoms, which are one of the main constituents of water, are lost by escaping from the

atmosphere to out space, but they are probably just (5)

about replaced by new water rising away from the depths of the (6) earth during volcanic action. The total quantity of water is not known, and it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe (7)

to a depth of about two and three-quarter kms. Most of it -97% - is in the form of the salt waters of the oceans. The rest is fresh,

but three quarter of this is in the form of ice at the Poles (8)

and on mountains, and cannot be used by living systems when (9)

melted. Of the remaining fraction, which is somewhat fewer than (10) 1% of the whole, there is 10—20 times as much stored as underground water as is actually on the surface. There is also a minor, but extremely important, fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapor in the atmosphere.

1．1et ^ → alone 2．face → surface 3．planet ^ → that／which 4．quite或fairly 5．out → outer 6．away 7．and → but

8．quarter → quarters 9．when → until／unless 10．fewer → less

1995

There are far too many road accidents in this country

too many deaths and too many people injured。 One wonders who are most to blame， drivers and pedestrians。__1__ Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly with

，

95年【答案】

1。and—or。根据上下文One wonders who are most to blame这一疑问，drivers和pedestrians其中之一需负责任

2。 with—without。without引导一个条件状语从句：“如果不考虑路况和整个交通体系的话” 3。 在London前加as。such??as结构

4。sufficiency—deficiencies。deficiencies意义为一些“不足，缺陷”，下文列举的too many road signs， faulty traffic lights， suddenly narrowing of the streets， congested parking都是路况的不足和缺陷

5。 convincing—convinced。下文that从句后列举司机和行人种种的考试大违规的行为不得不使人信服（convinced）the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons alone

6。 as—even或删除as。as though引导条件状语从句；even though引导让步状语从句，意义为“即使”，此处是“有些司机即使喝了很多酒，他们仍然认为自己能够把握住方向盘” 7 去掉is或在is前加it。根据语法规则，考试大有些表示时间地点条件方式或让步状语从句，如果谓语包含有动词be，主语又和主语的主语一致，那么常常可以把从句中的主语和谓语部分，特别是动词be省略掉

8。 for—against。步行者应该承担责任的原因之一为交通信号灯不让他们穿越马路时他们却穿马路了 9。 jump—jumping。jumping与上文的stepping off，crossing 并列和一致，应该用动名词 10。 more—less。从上下文逻辑和意义判断
