A. Busy.
B. Colourful.
C. Quiet.
【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
M：Well, I’d love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there
isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.

23.All the mistakes I ever made in my life were _______ I wanted to say “No” and said “Yes”.
A. how
B. that
C. whether
D. when
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：在我的人生中所犯的所以错误都是当我想要说“不”，却说了“是”。句中when引导表语从句，在句中充当时间状语。AC项与句意不符，that在名词性从句中不做成分，故D项正确。
【点睛】本句考查了引导表语从句关联词，部分用法如下。
1. 可接表语从句的系动词有be，look，seem，sound，appear等。
例句：At that time，it seemed as if I couldn't think of the right word.
当时，我似乎怎么也想不出一个恰当的字眼来。
2. 连接词whether，as，as if / though引导的表语从句。
例句：It sounds as if someone is knocking at the door.听起来好像有人在敲门。
3. because，why引导的表语从句。
例句：That's why he got angry with me.那正是他对我生气的原因。（That's why…强调结果）
注意：what引导的主语从句表示结果或名词reason做主语时，后面的表语从句表示原因时要用that引导，不宜用because。
4. 连接代词who，whom，whose，what，which，whoever，whatever，whichever
连接副词 where，when，how，why
例句：The problem is who we can get to replace her.问题是我们能找到谁去替换她呢。
5. 连接词that（that在名词性从句中不充当任何成分，只是引导词而已）
例句：The trouble is that I have lost his address.麻烦是我把他的地址丢了。
24.The roof fell _____he had time to dash into the room to save his baby.
A. before
B. as
C. after
D. until
【答案】A
【解析】

25.As had been expected, Smith wasn’t appointed chairman of the committee, ______ not very popular with its members.
A. considered
B. considering
C. having considered
D. to be considered
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：正如预料的那样，史密斯没有被任命为委员会主席，因为委员会成员认为他不太受欢迎。Consider的逻辑主语是Smith，它们之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作原因状语，故选A。
https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9015145037.html,dies and gentlemen, due to the heavy rain, the star who you ______ to see perform will arrive in an hour.
A. have come
B. come
C. came
D. are coming
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查现在完成时。句意：女士们，先生们，由于下大雨，你们来看演出的明星将在一小时后到达。现在完成时表示"过去的动作对现在的影响或结果"或"过去的动作延续到现在"，根据语境，人们来看演出，come的动作已经发生，并且"现在还在"，所以用现在完成时，故选A。
27.Newly released data point to an increase in technology use among children _______ some worry is changing the very nature of childhood.
A. why
B. who
C. which
D. where
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：最新公布的数据显示，科技在儿童中的使用有所增加，一些人担心这正在改变儿童的天性。_______ some worry is changing the very nature of childhood.是一个定语从句，修试先行词an increase in technology use ，some worry是插入语，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，故选C。
【点睛】定语从句的考查要从句子成分分析开始，如果句子很完整，就使用关系副词，如果句子中缺少主语、宾语和定语，就用关系代词。这道题目的难点在于分析出some worry是插入语，应该先去掉不看，结构就清晰了。
28.People ________being charged parking, so the decision maker had to compromise.
A. resigned to
B. subscribed to
C. submitted to
D. objected to
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：人们反对对停车收费，所以决策者不得不妥协。文中表示“反对”，A. resigned to辞职；B. subscribed to同意；C. submitted to提交；D. objected to反对，故选D。
29. For a moment nothing happened.Then ________ all shouting together.
A. voices had come
B. came voices
C. voices would come
D. did voices come
【答案】B
【解析】
副词then，away，out，in等位于句首，且主语是名词时，句子用全部倒装，故选B。解题的关键是识别全部倒装句的标志词，即注意放在句首的一些副词。如here，there，then，up，down，out，in，away，off等副词位于句首时，就很可能是考查全部倒装句的。
30.---It is _____ he often failed in exams _____ makes his parents worried about him.
---- Actually, they needn’t worry so much.
A. what, that
B. that, what
C. that , that
D. /, that
【答案】C
【详解】考查强调句型和主语从句。句意：——正是他经常考试不及格使他的父母担心他。——事实上，他们不必那么担心。强调句型it is/was that去掉后不影响句意，据此排除B；根据makes可知，that he often fails in exams是主语从句，he often fails in exams是主谓结构，不缺少成分，排除what；that引导主语从句时不能省略，排除D；故选C。
31. While there are clear signs of a _______ recovery in the global economy, the country still faces a very difficult situation.
A. formal
B. raw
C. modest
D. thorough
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：句意：虽然全球经济有着明显适度的复苏的信号，但是这个国家依然面临着非常困难的处境。Formal正规的；raw生的；modest适度的；thorough彻底的，选C。
