三、经典名题导解
1.Little Jim should love________ to the theatre this evening.
A. to be taken B. to take
C. being taken D. taking
答案：A
精析：should love to 相当于should like to 或should prefer to 在表示“想要时”，其后通常接动词不定式形式，根据句意“小汤姆想要别人带他去影剧院”，此处应用不定式的被动形式，故选A。答案B的语态不对，在should love的后面不跟动词-ing形式，故也不选C、D。
2.-Exceuse me,is this Mr .Brown’s office?
-I’m sorry,but Mr.Brown________works here.He left about three years ago.(90年高考题)
A. not now B. no more
C. not still D. no longer
答案：D
精析：根据题干的提示，Mr.Brown已不在此工作了，应选D，no longer相当于not…any longer,表示“不再”，它可以用在实义动词之前或连系动词、助动词之后，也可以放在句末，例如：He studied hand no longer after the examination.在考试之后，他再也不努力学习了。答案A、C不符合句意，不能选，答案B也表“不再”，相当于“not…any more”,通常用在句末，或者放在名词前作定语，还可单独用作主语、宾语或表语，但不能放在句中，故不能选。
3.He paid the boy $10 for washing ten windows,most of_______ hadn’t been cleaned at least a year.(90年高考题)
A.these B．those C．that D．which
答案：D
精析：根据句意可以判断后面的分句是一个非限制性的定语从句，应选D，most of which指“十扇窗户中的大部分”，which指代windows,作介词of的宾语。分句与分句之间，必须有一个并列的连词，而选用these或those不符合这一原则，故不选答案A和B,在介词后面不用引导词that，指人时用whom,指物时用which.
4.Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially
_____Father was away in France.(94年高考题)
A．as B．that C．during D．if
答案：A
精析：此句意为“母亲很着急，因小艾丽斯病了，特别是她父亲还在法国的时候”，用as表示“当……的时候”，故选A。答案B不能表时间，答案C中的during是介词，在它后面只接名词，例如：during the class 在上课期间，during the day在白天,故不能选C,答案D表条件,不符合句意,故不选.
5.She thought I was talking about her daughter,_____, in fact,I was talking about my daughter.(95年高考题)
A.whom B.where C.which D.while
答案：D
精析：从关键词“in fact”，我们可以看出，前后两个句子形成一种对比，表示的意思是：她认为我在讲她女儿，而实际上我在讲我女儿。连词while可表对比，故选D。whom,where,which引导定语从句，而实际上后面的句子不是定语从句，故都不能选。
6.He let me repeat his instruction__________sure that I understood what was ________after he went away.
A.to make;to be done B.making;doing
C.to make;to do D.making;to do
答案：A
精析：题目的四个选项有两上是不定式，另两个为现在分词。这里表达的是前面动作的目的而不是伴随情况，因此，很容易就可以排除B、D两项。从后面看，句子的主语是要做的事情，动词不定式应当使用被动形式。动词不定式和分词是英语学习中的重点和难点，在学习时，一定要系统地理解和掌握它们的用法。
7.I was disappointed with the play. I had expected________to be much more interesting.
A.that B.this C.one D.it
答案：D
精析：此题旨在考查学生是否掌握代词one、it和that的用法。横线上需用一个代词指代the play,是确切指代，所以选D项。
8.Fewer people are coming to his café________,though he has wished for more money_________.
A.day after day;day after day B.day by day;day by day
C.day after day;day by day D.day by day ;day after day
答案：D
精析：此题旨在考查学生是否掌握了名词叠用作状语的用法。n. + by + n.表变化;n. + after + n.表重复。这句话意思是：“虽然他一天天地希望多赚钱，可客人一天比一天少。”所以选D项。

Computer programmer David Jones earned ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games,yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card.Instead,he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
He worked for a small firm in Liverpool,where young people of his age are finding jobs.David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money.Though he has high payment,he cannot drive a car or get credit cards(信用卡).
David got his job four months ago,a year after leaving school with six O-levels (普通成绩)and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said.
“I suppose ￡35,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.”He spends some of his money on records and clothes,and gives his mother 20 a week as he lives with his parents.But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately,computing was nor part of our studies at school,”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school.Most people in this business are fairly young,anyway.I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility.You never know when the market might disappear.”

The results of the US/NATO bombing(轰炸)of Yugoslavia are to be judged by history.I shall not be the one to do it.But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history stay away from what is going on in my country.
First of all,the aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today,after many days of frequent bombing,that aim is more distant than before.The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes.Not to mention the large number of the death and injury,buildings and factories.Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering,they should realize by now how wrong they thought the bombing would solve the problem.
So,what’s left? Back off or ground troops?But who is going to join the ground troops?It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers,not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonia.It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族)will not give up on Kosovo.
I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now.And it doesn’t frighten me any more.I don’t turn to the shelter(避难所)at the sound of warning.It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me.Vietnam would seem like a pic.zuowen.c321.cnpares to bloodshed(流血事件)in Kosovo if the ground troops appear.Is that what the US/NATO wants?
63. Which of the following statements is true?
A.The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.
B.The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosovo.
C.The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.
D.The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up on Kosovo.
64. What worries the writer most?
A.The continuous bombing. B.The coming of ground troops.
C.The sound of bomb warning. D.The idea of ground troops.
65. What worries the writer’s attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?
A.It is the US/NATO’S duty to defend Kosovo.
B.It is wrong to solve the problem by bombing Kosovo.
C.The aim of bombing Kosovo is to stop a human suffering.
D.The bombing can solve the problem on Kosovo.
