答案:
1. The substance does not dissolve in water whether it is heated or not (不管是否加熱)
(`本題考查對whether or not引導讓步狀語從句的掌握,當從句中的主語等同于主句中的主語,且從句中的結構是“主語+be”時,主語和謂語均可以省略)
2. Not only did he charge me too much/ did he overcharge me (他向我收費過高),but he didn’t do a good repair job either.
(本題考查對部分倒裝的掌握。當句首出現not only或only時,句子應采用部分倒裝的結構,即只需把助動詞或情態動詞置于主語之前。由后半句中的didn’t可知,此處的助動詞應使用過去式,“收費過高”也可用overcharge)
3. Your losses in trade this year are nothing compared with mine/ in comparison with mine (與我的相比).
(本題考查compared with或in comparison with作狀語的用法,“與…相比”可以用compared with或in comparison with表示)
4. On average, it is said, visitors spend only half as much money (一半的錢)in a day in Leeds as in London.
(本題考查對倍數表達法的掌握。當用as…as表達倍數時,常用結構為“A+謂語+倍數+as+計量形容詞原形+as+B”, “一半”用half 表示)
5. By contrast, America mothers were more likely to attribute their children’s success to (把孩子的成功歸因于)natural talent.
(本題考查對be likely to…及attribute…用法的掌握。be likely to為固定用法,意為“可能”其后接原形動詞。)
vt. 把 ... 歸于
n. 屬性,特征,標
