專項特訓——2008年專四單項選擇
51. Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the disabled, will publish ____ proposals in the near future.
A. theirB. our C. his D. its
答案：D. 考查物主代詞。逗號與逗號之間的是作為插入語，是association的定語從句，在此association作為一個整體概念出現，且其定語從句中也是用單數謂語動詞has pressed，后面對應的物主代詞也應該是單數概念的，故選D。句意：我們的協會一直在敦促給殘疾人更多的就業機會，并且講在最近公布建議書。publish公布，proposal提議；建議，pressfor敦促；迫切要求。
52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she ____ much better results now.
A. would be getting B. could have got
C. must get D. would get
答案：D.考查虛擬語氣（錯綜時間虛擬語氣）。從句部分是對過去的虛擬，省略了if，因此出現倒裝，但主句部分出現了明顯的時間標志詞now，可見是對現在的虛擬，故應該是would/could/should/might do的形式，而get為瞬間動詞，不用進行時，故選D。句意：如果朱迪數學考試時更認真一些，她現在成績就會好多了。
53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one.
A. whenB. that C. which D. what
答案：D。搭配：A is to B what C is to D，由what引導的方式狀語從句。句意：9相對于3等同于3相對于1。
54. Men differ from animals ____ they can think and speak.
A. for which B. for that C. in that D. in which
答案：C。in that引導原因狀語從句。for that不能引導從句，A和D都引導定語從句。句意：人之所以有別于動物在于他們能思考，會說話。
55. ____ he wanted to go out with his friends at the weekend, he had to stay behind to finishhis assignment.
A. Much though B. Much as C.As much D. Though much
答案：B. 考查由much as引導的讓步狀語從句，意為“盡管”=although。而as much意為“同樣地，這樣地”。A和D不是固定搭配。句意：盡管他想周末和朋友出去，卻不得不留下完成作業。
56. I enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends in Paris last year.
A. whenB. which C. that D. where
答案：A. 考查時間狀語從句。四個選項都可以引導定語從句，但這里沒有后面從句修飾的先行詞，故出現的不是定語從句。從兩部分之間的關系來看，后面部分提到了時間段，因此填入when，成為時間狀語從句。句意：去年我去巴黎拜訪朋友時玩得非常開心。
57. Which of the following is INCORRECT?
A. All his lectures were boring.
B. Half his money was gone.
C. Her few friends are all fond of dancing.
D. He invited many his friends to the party.

58. When you have finished with that book, don't forget to put it back on my desk, _____?
A. do you B. don't you C. will you D. won't you
答案：C. 考查的是反義疑問句。復合句的反義疑問句應反問主句部分，本句主句是否定祈使句don’t forget to…，故祈使部分用will you。句意：你讀完那本書后，別忘了把它放回我的書桌上，好嗎？
61. The following are all correct responses to "Who told the news to the teacher?" EXCEPT
A. Jim did this. B. Jim did so. C. Jim did that. D. Jim did.
答案：A. 對Who told the news to the teacher的標準回答是Jim did，即Jim did it的省略句。此外，還可以用其他代詞指代問句中出現的內容，so和that都可以指代前文中提到的內容，而this通常用于指代下文內容。
62. Quality is ____ counts most.
A. whichB. that C. what D. where
答案：C. 句中is后為表語從句，該從句中缺少主語，that引導名詞性從句時不做成分，where為地點狀語，which引導非限制性定語從句，故這里選what（做雙重身份：表語從句引導詞和表語從句中的主語）
64. The square itself is five hundred yards wide, five times ____ the size of St. Peter's inRome.
