1 I’ve had a letter from the tax authorities ______ my tax payment.A concernedB concerning Cfor D to解：B （concerning是介词，译为“关于”全句：我收到一封税务部门寄来的有关催缴税款的信。
）2_____________________, he does get annoyed with her sometimes.A Although much he likes herB Much although he likes herC As he likes her muchD Much as he likes her解：答案选D。
在这个句子中，as引导让步状语从句，意思是“尽管，虽然”，这时候要求从句要倒装。
这个倒装句的要求比较特殊，常把从句中做状语的副词、做表语的形容词或者名词提前。
又如：Young as he is, he knows a lot.Child as he is, he knows a lot.(注意：如果是单数名词提前要把冠词去掉。
)（Although 引导状语从句时要用正常语序。
所以A项改为：Although he likes her much 才正确。
）3 I wonder how he _________ that to the teacher,A dare to sayB dare sayingC not dare sayD dared say解：答案选D。
dare做情态动词时，后面要直接跟动词原形。
dare的过去式是dared."我纳闷他怎么敢和老师说那样的话" 所以从句意上判断应该用一般过去时恰当。
dare作实义动词用时，就像我们所熟悉的want 一样要有人称和数的变化。
后面直接跟不定式。
根据这一规则就能排除其他选项。
4 Having a chat with an old friend you haven't seen for ten years is apleasant thing , ________ I prefer very much .A itB thatC whatD one解：答案选D。
在这句中，one=a thing 在整个句中充当同位语，而且后面又跟了定语从句.又如：Meeting my uncle after so many years is an unforgettable moment, one i will treasure forever.所以要注意one=a+前面刚刚提到的单数可数名词，起进一步解释的作用。
it 指同一件事情，what引导的从句不会有逗号和前面的句子隔开的，把这点记清一般能排除what。
5 When I took his temperature , I found it was two degrees above ________.A averageB ordinaryC commonD normal解：D此处考察“正常体温”的表达。
average 平均的ordinary 普通的，强调不出众common 普遍的，强调常见normal 正常的，强调符合标准或常规6 The doctor asked him not to leave his wound _________.A exposedB to exposeC to be exposedD exposing解：A;此句意为：医生叮嘱他不要将伤口裸露出来。
伤口肯定是“被”裸露出来，所以要选择含有被动意义的 A 和C。
而这里需要一个形容词来表示状态，exposed 即为：裸露的这样一种状态。
C to be exposed这是不定式的被动语态，主要表将来和目的。
故排除。
7 Though _________ natural resources , the area is well developed.A lackedB lacking ofC lackingD lacked in答案：C说明：A是被动，此题前后主语一致否掉。
B常用be lacking of，如果单出现lacking of 90%是不对的。
没有D这种形式。
而且这道选择题是固定的模式了，大多选lacking作动词ing作主语或选a lack of这里lack是名词。
8 -Will $500 _______ the cost of the repairing of the car ?-I'm afraid not .It has been so badly damaged that I need $300 more.A containB includeC coverD act解：选C此处用cover，它本来的意思是“覆盖”，在这里意为涵盖，搞定（找到了这个传神的词）！500块修车，能搞定吗？恐怕不行。
这车坏得厉害，我还需要另外加300.include意思是包括，谈价格的时候，使用include适用于以下场景：你去修车，他开出一个价格在先，你然后问，这个价格包括所有（修理服务、零部件等等）does this price include everything??或者does this price include all the repairing parts?但说老实话，根据我的经历，在口语中这差别越来越小了。
contain也有包括的意思，但一般是指某个东西的成分，翻译成“含有”更合适，例如it contains both hydrogen and oxygen.它里面含有氢气和氧气。
9 Never _________ Lisa would arrive but she turned up at the last minute.A did we thinkB have we thoughtC we thoughtD we have thought解：A倒装。
never是表否定的副词，提前时用半倒装，助动词提前。
本来是we never thought Lisa would arrive but she turned up at the last minute.B的时态不对。
应该用had we thought 因为实在他来之前我们以为，过去的过去。
10 He has put up a private company , but he _______ in the college for about 15 years .A has been workingB had workedC workedD works解：C对A:错，因为已经是has put。
所以后半句话一定是过去发生的事，不可能再用has（现在式）了B：错。
至少也的是had been workedC：正解（类似：I study English for 5 years。
）D错，既然是过去发生的事不会有现在式11 As the saying goes , the fish smells ________ , but tastes _______.A badly ;wellB badly ;nicelyC smelly ; wellD smelly ; good解：选择D。
smelly是指难闻的，是形容词，smelly、taste都是半系动词，后面都接形容词。
根据句意，鱼闻起来很难闻，吃起来感觉很好。
12 Liu Xiang's running career began to _______ after he won the gold medal in Olympic Games.A speed upB fly awayC give awayD take off解；选D take off起飞的意思。
刘翔在奥运会得到金牌后，他的事业开始起飞。
切忌不可选A.13 An accident is _________ to happen at that crossing.A probableB likelyC possibleD possibly解；答案选Blikely 有两种用法be likely to doIt is likely that-从句而probable ，possible 只能以It is probable that.../It is possible that...句型出现，sb/sth is probable/possible to do 是绝对错误的！牢记！！另外，补充说明一下，在口语中，以概率而言，possible<likely<probable14 What he writes is full of ________ and inspiring to people .A factsB truthC energyD strength解：选Cenergy 原指物理学上的术语“能量”，用于人时则指精力。
例句：Young people usually have more energy than the old.年轻人通常比老年人有活力。
strength 指某人或某物所具有的内在力量，可指体力、力气或抽象的力量。
例句：Union is strength. 团结就是力量。
另有power 系一般用语，可指体力、思维能力、道德力量等各种力量或能力，强调行动所根据的能力或职权。
例句：It's beyond his power. 这是他力所不及的。
force 指的是物质或精神力量，强调力量所产生的实际效果。
例句：You must use force to open the bottle.你必须用力打开那个小瓶子。
15 Is it _________ for you to wear a cap in such an occasion?So in my opinion , you are not ______ for the job .A suitable ; fitB proper ; fitC profer ;suitableD suitable ;profer解：选B第一句翻译：在这样一个场合你带着一个帽子合适吗？“proper”就是“合适，恰当”，强调一种得体，适合情况。
第二句翻译：在我开来，你并不适合这份工作。
“fit”是“适合，相称”，强调一种与本身条件、能力相称的情况。
而“suitable”强调的是“舒适的适合”，比如“这衣服穿得很合适而且看起来很舒服”。
