重点难点
1. Wow, the Great Wall is amazing, isn’t it? 哇，长城令人惊讶，是不是？
反意疑问句表示说话人对所陈述的事情有所怀疑或不肯定，想通过对方的回答来加以肯定或否定。
★反意疑问句的构成有两种。第一种结构是：肯定的陈述句＋逗号＋一般疑问句的简略否定＋问号，对于反意疑问句的肯定或否定回答与一般疑问句的回答方式一样。如：
① “You are a teacher, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am. /No, I’m not.”
“你是个教师，是不是？”“是的。/不，我不是。”
② “She was here yesterday, wasn’t she?” “Yes, she was. /No, she wasn’t.”
“她昨天在这里，是不是？”“是的。/不，没在。”
③ “They borrowed some money from you, didn’t they?” “Yes, they did. /No, they didn’t.”
“他们向你借了些钱，是不是？”“是的。/不，他们没向我借钱。”
★第二种结构是：否定的陈述句＋逗号＋一般疑问句的简略肯定＋问号。对于这种形式的反意疑问句作回答的时候，不要过分注重问句中的否定词not在前还是在后，只要事实是肯定的，就用Yes，如事实是否定的，就用No。用Yes回答，后面就不能再用not，用No回答，后面就必须有not，这种情况与中文的表达习惯很不一样。请注意下面例句中中英文在表达上的差异。
① “Your sister isn’t coming back today, is she?” “Yes, she is. /No, she isn’t.”
“你姐姐今天不会回来，是吗？”“不，她今天会回来。/是的，她今天不会回来。”
② “You can’t do it well, can you?” “Yes, I can. /No, I can’t.”
“这事你做不好，是吗？”“不，我能做好。/是的，我做不好。”
③ “There wasn’t a football game on TV last night, was there?”
“Yes, there was. /No, there wasn’t.”
“昨晚电视里没有足球赛，是吗？”“不，有足球赛。/是的，没有。”
【注】在简略回答中，如果主语有变化，并用but在语气上加以转折，也会出现用Yes和not搭配以及用No而不用not的情况。如：
① “Your father isn’t a doctor, is he?” “No, but my mother is.”
“你父亲不是个医生，是吗？”“对，不过我母亲是个医生。”
② “Most of you aren’t from Beijing, are you?” “Yes, but I’m not. /No, but I am.”
“你们大多数人不是北京人吧，是吗？”
“不，大多数是，但我不是。/对，但我是北京人。”
★陈述句中含有never, few, little, hardly, nothing, nobody等具有否定含意的词，后面疑问部分应用肯定形式。如：
① You never saw Mr King before, did you? 你以前从未见过金先生，是吗？
② There are few apples left on the tree, are there? 树上没剩几个苹果了，是吗？
③ He has little money for food, does he? 他几乎没钱买吃的，是吗？
④ Little Mary can hardly walk by herself, can she? 小玛丽还不太会自己走路，是吗？
⑤ There’s nothing in that box, is there? 盒子里什么也没有，是吗？
⑥ Nobody saw you do it, did they？ 没人看到你干这事吧，是吗？
【注】在口语中，陈述部分一般用降调，但后面疑问部分可用升调，也可用降调。如疑问部分用升调，则表明提问者对陈述部分的真实性把握不大，希望对方来确定；如疑问部分用降调，则表明提问者对陈述部分的真实性有一定把握，只须对方来印证一下。

【注】指一种爱好性质的收集用collect，而不用gather。集中思想且有控制意味，用collect，不用gather。指农民“收拾庄稼”，说gather crops，而不说collect crops。另外，gather可和together连用，而对于collect来说，together则显得多余。可以说He gathered together/collected his papers. 他把稿子集中起来。可以说People gathered together. 或People collected up. 人们聚集了起来。但不说collect together.

答案与提示
一、1. A consist是不及物动词，和介词of连用，不能用于被动语态。
2. B experience作“经验”解时，是不可数名词，作“经历”解时，是可数名词。此处experience意为“经验”，是不可数名词，因此，先排除A、D两项。C项不符合题意。
3. A 本题主要考查too much和much too的区别。much too的中心词是too，much修饰too，后接形容词或副词；too much的中心词是much，too修饰much，too much修饰不可数名词或单独使用。difficult是形容词，所以选A。C项的错误在于much用作副词时只能修饰比较级；D项的such只能修饰名词。
4. D everyday是形容词，意思是“日常的”“每天的”，在句中作定语，修饰名词；every day是副词短语，意思是“每天”，在句中作状语，修饰动词。
5. C enough修饰形容词或副词时，通常位于形容词或副词的后面。(not) enough后接不定式表示“(不)够……去做某事”。too…to do意为“太……以致不能”，不符合逻辑。故选C。
6. C 当hundred, thousand, million, billion等前面有具体数词时，其后不可以加s，也不可以加of，故A、B和D三项不符合题意，可以排除，C项正确。反之，如果他们前面没有具体的数词，其后必须加s，也必须加of，构成hundreds of，thousands of, millions of, billions of短语，才可以用来修饰名词。
7. B across指从表面“横穿”；through指“从中间穿过”。根据句意应选B。
8. D 此题考查spend…(in) doing sth.句型，表示“做某事花了……时间”。故排除C项；take表示花费的时间时常用句型为：It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.，故排除A项；pay for…不能表示花费时间，故选D项。
9. C 在too…to结构中，当句子主语是后面动词不定式的逻辑宾语时，如果动词不定式中的动词是不及物动词，要用介词再接宾语。
10. B as在此作介词，意为“作为”。介词短语as a writer作状语。
11. D although = though，意为“尽管”“虽然”，引导让步状语从句，不能和but或其他连词连用。
12. D make a contribution to…意为“对……作出贡献”。其中to为介词，后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语。
13. A 反意疑问句的特点是前肯后否，前否后肯。当陈述部分的主语是表示“物”的不定代词(something, everything, etc)时，反问部分的主语应该为it。
14. C 反意疑问句的特点是前肯后否，前否后肯。依据nobody为否定词，可以排除B项和D项。同时，当陈述部分的主语是表示“人”的不定代词(somebody, everybody, etc)时，反问部分的主语应该为they。所以C选项正确。
15. C a few修饰可数名词，a little修饰不可数名词，ice water为不可数名词，所以排除A和B项。另外，表示“在原有基础之上增加”应用“数词 + more + 名词”或“another +数词+名词”，所以选C项。
16. A used to do sth.是指过去习惯做某事。选项C若改为was used to staying (习惯于……)也合题意。
17. B find sb. /sth. doing sth.，意为“发现……正在做某事/处于某种状语”，动词-ing形式在此作宾补。
18. B go on a trip to…意思是“去……旅行”。
19. D be famous for意为“以……而著名”。
20. D 祈使句的反意疑问句除Let’s开头的用shall we之外，其他的都用will you，故选D。
21. C more意为“额外的”，前面可以用数词或no, some, much, many等修饰。故选C。
22. D be amazed at…表示“对……感到惊愕”，at此处表示某种情绪的起因。B项介词搭配错误；A、C两项缺少连系动词be。
23. A each后可直接跟of短语，表示“……中每个”，谓语动词用单数形式；every作形容词用，修饰可数名词的单数形式，不能直接与of连用，所以选A。
24. B 此句意思为“他刚才把书放在书架上了”。lay表示“放置”的意思，其过去式和过去分词都是laid。a moment ago表示应该用过去时，故选B。
25. D 本句的意思为“他既有知道又有经验”。末尾的副词应该表示“也”的意思。而用于肯定句末尾的“也”只能用too或as well。但如用too的话，一般应用逗号将它和前面的句子隔开。故选用as well。
26. C carry sb. to safety意为“把……抱到安全地带”，其中to为介词，后需跟名词safety作宾语。
27. C 表示“尽可能地……”可以用as…as possible或as…as one can。A项是错误的表达，首先排除。B、C、D三项中B项表示速度之快；C项表示时间之快；D项表示动作之迅速。根据题意选C项。
28. C 请注意区别以下短语：no more than意为“仅仅”；not more than意为“不多于”；more than意为“不仅是”“超出”；not less than意为“不少于”。句意为“她不仅是我们的老师，她还是我们的朋友。”
29. D so far常和现在完成时连用，本句主语是buildings，故使用被动语态。
30. D 句子主语machine与use是被动关系，后跟动词不定式表示目的。
