题型有：1.

1． 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

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查省略回答。对Who told the news to the teacher的标准回答是Jim did，即Jim did it的省略句。此外，还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容，so和that都可以指代前文中提到的内容，而this通常用于指代下文内容，是对题干句不正确的回答，符合题干要求。

2． Professor Johnson is said______some significant advance in his research in the past year.

A．having made B．making

C．to have made D．to make

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查be said to do的用法。be said to do是固定结构，由句中的时间状语in the past year可知，动作发生在谓语动作之前，故应使用动词不定式的完成式作宾语，因此答案为[C]项。

3． We met Mary and her husband at a party two months ago. ______we’ve had no further communication.

A．Thereof B．Thereby C．Thereafter D．Thereabouts

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查副词词义辨析。根据前句“我们在两个月前的一个晚会上遇见的玛丽夫妇”和空后的“我们就再没有联系了”判断，前后两句是时间上的顺承关系，故答案为Thereafter(之后，以后)。Thereof意为“在其中；由此”。Thereby意为“因此，从而”。Thereabouts意为“近乎，大约，左右”。

4． In times of difficulty, he had to______his family by selling newspapers. A．care for B．provide for C．attend on D．wait on

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查动词短语词义辨析。根据空前的in times of difficulty(在困难时期)和空后的by selling newspapers(通过卖报纸)可知，他卖报纸是为了养活家人，故答案为provide for(瞻仰，供养)。care for意为“照顾，照料”；attend on意为“侍候，照顾，陪伴”；wait on意为“招待(顾客)”。

5． She______to find new stories about her homeland, making sure her American-born daughter did not grow up ignorant of Chinese culture.

A．dropped out

B．went out of her way C．gave way D．got down

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查动词短语辨析。drop out意为“离开，退出”。go out of one’s way意为“不怕麻烦；特地”。give way意为“撤退；让路；退让；垮掉”。get down意为“沮丧；落下；吞下；写下”。本句意为：为了保证她在美国出生的女儿长大后不会对中国文化很生疏，她______找寻有关祖国的新鲜事。明显，在这里主要强调的是主语为做某事而付出的努力，因此[B]项最为符合题意，为答案。

25． Although Britain’s film makers often produce fine films, they are studiously______and rarely aim at a mass market.

A．commercial B．viable C．derivative D．elitist

正确答案：D
