(7)特殊句式

　　1．(2008年重庆卷)Only when I left my parents for Italy________how much I loved them.

　　A．I realized B．I had realized C．had I realized D．did I realize

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】既考查倒装句又涉及动词时态的判断。若"only"置于句首后面紧跟状语，则主句应该用部分倒装，即一般疑问句语序，由此判断A、B项错误。C项动词使用过去完成时态，表示realize"意识到"这个动作先于left"离开"发生，不合题意，所以不正确。

　　2．-You should apologize to her, Barry.

　　-________， but it's not going to be easy.

　　A. I suppose so B. I feel so

　　C. I prefer to D. I like to

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】考查省略现象。根据上下文可知回答者是同意向她道歉，但又认为这不容易。应使用"I suppose so"表示认可，使用so是一种省略，代替了一个句子。

　　3．It ________we had stayed together for a couple of weeks ________I found we had a lot in common.

　　A. was until; when

　　B. was until; that

　　C. wasn't until; when

　　D. wasn't until; that

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】考查强调句型。这句意思是"直到相处了几个星期后我们才知道我们有很多相似之处"，这句是not until的强调句型，结构为：It is/ was not until...that。

　　(8)情景交际

　　1．-Have you been wasting time on computer games again?

　　-________. I've been studying a lot and I need a break.

　　A．No way B．Not really

　　C．I don't agree D．I couldn't agree more

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】根据后面的回答"I've been studying a lot and I need a break."说明后者不同意前者的问话，意思是他并没有真正浪费很多时间打电脑游戏而是学习很用功，故选择"Not really"。No way"没门"是断然拒绝对方的提议，"I don't agree"是反对对方的观点，"I couldn't agree more"是完全赞同对方的观点。

　　2．(2008年江西卷)-I think you'd better type this letter again before Mr.Smith sees it.

　　-Oh，dear!

　　A．Who cares? B．No problem.

　　C．I don't mind at all. D．Is it as bad as that?

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】考查交际用语。前者说：我想你最好在Mr. Smith看见这封信之前把它重新打一遍。后者的答语前半段说： Oh, dear！(天哪！)，根据当时的情景，后面应该是说：Is it as bad as that? (有那么糟糕吗？)A.Who cares？"谁在乎呢？"B. No problem"没问题"； C. I don't mind at all"我根本不在意"。均不符合当时的语境。

　　【试题举例】(2008年陕西卷)

　　This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: "an interesting week of poetry." This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?

　　The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing－the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn't write anything on the board.

　　The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次)of meaning . Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn't happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文学科)．

　　Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions(定义) when he explains a poem.He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, "We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students."

　　But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.

　　49．What do we know about this unusual class?

　　A. The teachers did lots of writing on the board.

　　B. The teachers were invited to attend several lectures.

　　C. The students were professors from a university.

　　D. The students were studying science and humanities.

　　50. The experiment was designed to find out________.

　　A. how to teach the students in the science class

　　B. whether poetry is difficult for science students

　　C. what to be taught in the humanities class

　　D. why many humanities students find science hard

　　51. Finding levels of meaning is________.

　　A. important for graduate students in humanities

　　B. difficult for graduate students in humanities

　　C．common for undergraduate students in science

　　D. easy for undergraduate students in science

　　52. What did the science professors learn after the experiment?

　　A. They should change the way they teach.

　　B. A poem could be explained in clear definitions.

　　C．A poetry class could be more informative.

　　D. Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.
