13、24. Bicycling is good exercise; _, it does not pollute the air.A. nevertheless B. besides C. otherwise D. therefore【答案】B 【解析】题干前后表示的是叠加意义: 好的锻炼;不污染空气,所以用besides “除了(还)”; 答案A意为 “然而”；C “要不然”；D“所以”。25.

14、ill see D. are seeing【答案】C 【解析】句意：关上你身后的惧怕之门，你就会看到信心之门在你面前敞开着。这是祈使句+and+并列句。根据句意，并列句谓语应该用将来一般时态。26. Everyone in the village is very friendly.

15、关系。27.

16、D. Until【答案】A 【解析】句意：尽管我老觉得我会通过考试，然而，我从来不曾想过会得“A等”。根据上下文可以看出，题干需要一个引导让步状语从句的连词。while在这里等于though。29. Sorry, I am too busy now. If I _ time, I would certainly go for an outing with you.A. have had B. had had C. have D. had【答案】D 【解析】根据上下文可知，这是对现在情况的虚拟，if 从句用过去式，主句用would+原形。30. It was not until I came h
17、ere _I realized this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather.A. who B. that C. where D. before 【答案】B 【解析】句意：直到我来到这儿才意识到，这个地方不仅以它的美而且以它的天气出名。这里是强势结构It is+被强调部分+that;本题强调的是时间状语。注意中文 “直到才”用until表达常有以下三种形式：notuntil; Not until (否定的状语谓语句首，后面的主句谓语用一般疑问句结构倒装)；It is not untilthat(强势结构)。
18、所以，本题也可以如下说：I did not realized this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather until I came here(正常结构)；Not until I came here did I realize this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather(倒装结构)。31.

20、A tile falling(=which fell)from a roof shattered into fragments at his feet.一片从屋顶上掉下来的瓦在他的脚边摔得粉碎。The accident happening to her turned out to be a good thing.她发生的意外证明结果是件好事。现在分词的被动式(答案B)做定语只能表示正在进行的动作或和谓语动词同时进行的行为.不定式作定语表将来或含情态意义或被修饰部分有最高级序数词onlynextlast或是somethinganything等不定代词等.There must be many pe
21、ople coming to the party last night.32. hard you try, it is difficult to lose weight without cutting down the amount you eat.A. However B. Whatever C. Whichever D. Whenever【答案】A 【解析】句意：不减少进食，无论你怎么努力，要减肥是困难的。其他几个选项语义不通。however “无论怎么”在此引导让步状语从句=no matter how。33. -I remember you were a talented pianist

23、t B. in what C. which D. in which【答案】D 【解析】句意：心灵的护理是一个逐渐的过程，在这个过程中，甚至生活中那些微小的细节都应该加以考虑。in which引导非限制性定语从句，which代前面的process。35.

24、多的使用化学物质正在损害着我们的健康。主语是evidence “证据（不可数名词）”，所以谓语动词应用单数式shows，宾语从句的主语是use “使用（不可数名词）”，所以要用is。Part Section B (18 marks)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.
