【难点】分词结构置于句首，往往表示主句动作或行为的原因。

动词不定式置于句首，往往作目的状语。

本句中主句的主语和原因状语部分的动词的逻辑主语一致，故后者的动词部分应该使用被动语态，所以只有D)正确。

2．A)【句意】“在这次事故中三个人全都受伤了吗?”“没有，只有两名乘客受了伤”。

【难点】问句中的three people要求用复数谓语动词，由于动作发生在过去，所以选were。

答句中用了强调结构，即It was +sb.+who(that)从句。

3．B)【句意】站在海岬的顶端实际上就是站在流动的熊河里。

【难点】动词不定式和动名词都可以作主语，但在主系表结构的句子中，如果表语为动词不定式，则主语也应为动词不定式；如果表语为动名词，则主语也应为动名词，二者必须统一。

4．D)【句意】他就本次足球赛所做的讲话令许多球迷烦得要死。

【难点】本句中缺少一个介词，四个选项中只有D)可以用作介词，意为“有关，关于”，相当于about。

5．C)【句意】他在一种简朴生活的氛围中受教育正是他父母所希望的。

【难点】本句的主语是一个带有逻辑主语的动名词短语，即C)。

全句总体结构为主系表。

6．D)【句意】话一出口，他就意识到他应该保持沉默。

【难点】no sooner …than常译为“一…就”，为一固定的搭配。

如果no sooner 置于句首，则从句的主语和谓语必须倒装，在以上结构中，主句一般用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时，所以选项D)正确。

7．D)【句意】他走出总经理办公室，看起来好像受到了严厉的惩罚。

【难点】look as if +从句这种结构，从句中的谓语一般用虚拟式，如谓语的形式为过去时，则表示与现在的事实相反，如谓语的形式为过去完成时，则表示与过去的事实相反。

8．A)【句意】厂长兼书记来参加我们的聚会。

【难点】英语中，如果两个以上的名词前面只有一个定冠词the，则可认定指的是一个人或物；如果这种结构作主语，谓语动词必须用单数形式。

9．C)【句意】据悉这项工程已进行了三个月了。

【难点】因为for three months是个与完成时连用的状语，且to为不定式符号，所以选C)，即不定式的完成进行时。

10．B)【句意】要不是那场车祸，他们可能早就到了。

【难点】But for 常与后边的名词或代词连用，用于表达虚拟的条件。

其他选项无此功能。

11．B)【句意】简反应慢，可她哥哥却相反，在理解论点方面反应非常快。

grasp 意为“理解，领会”；grab 意为“抓取，攫取”；capture 意为“引起（注意）；逮住”；snatch 意为“夺走，夺得”。
