29、ompletely。句意：“难道你不认为努力工作能使人取得成功吗？”“我完全同意。”I hope so“我希望如此”；Ive got it“我明白了”；wish you success“祝你成功”。2. D 句意为“正是早晨睡懒觉导致了上班迟到”。devote to“致力于”；stick to“坚持”；refer to“参考”；contribute to“促成，导致”。3. A 表示命令、建议或要求的动词（order，suggest，command，recommend等）后面的从句中通常使用should do形式的虚拟语气，should可以省略。4. B 句意为“除了优质的服务外，这个饭店还提
30、供不同种类的传统的福建菜”。apart from“除以外”；far from“远离，远非”；instead of“代替，而不是”；regardless of“不管，不顾”。5. C search“搜寻”；tell“告诉”；request“请求，要求”；question“质疑”。句意为“不要回复任何请求你个人信息的电子邮件，不管它们看起来多么正式”。6. C decorate“装饰”；develop“发展”；preserve“保护”；advocate“主张”。句意为“我们市在推倒旧房屋的时候，越来越多的市民建议保留有历史意义的重要建筑物”。7. D tangible“有形的”；marvelous
31、“极好的，绝妙的”；precious“宝贵的”；primitive“原始的”。句意为“正如我们从历史课本上所学到的那样，原始森林里的少数民族过去常常以野兽为主食”。8. C evidence意为“证据，证词”；absence“不在，缺席”；existence“存在”；guidance“指导，引导”。根据句意可知选C。.1.

32、g. And then they found it! A tower buried in the sand.”可知答案。4. B 细节判断题。从全文不难看出Clapp坚忍不拔的毅力。题组21. C 句意为“新闻报道说这两个国家的和平谈判失败了，没有达成协议”。evolution“演变，进化”；directory“名录，指南”；agreement“协议，协定”；diplomacy“外交”。reach an agreement“达成协议”。2.

33、est“投资，投入”。3. C preserve“保护，保存”。句意为“在零下130，活细胞能被保存1 000年”。4. A remain加过去分词构成系表结构，此处表示“保持坐着的状态”。5. B make a list of“列出的清单”；make a thing of“把当作一回事，认为不得了”。句意为“在大甩卖开始前，我把孩子们在下个季节里要用到的东西列了一个清单”。6.

D 本题考查名词性从句的引导词。句意：警察找到了可能是丢失的古代雕像的物品。A项which“哪一个”；B项where“哪儿”；C项how“怎样”；D项what“什么”。结合题干，空格前面是动词，表明这里可能是一个宾语从句，同时后面的句子缺主语，因此断定选what（=the thing that
36、/all that），这个词不但引导宾语从句，而且还在从句中充当主语。13. D in preference to“优先于”；in place of“代替”；in agreement with“符合，同意”；in exchange for“交换”。14. A invest意为“投资，投入”，常与in搭配。句意为“在中国，不少上市公司为网络投下大笔资金”。15.

37、；enlarge“扩大”。sharpen his pencil“削尖他的铅笔”。18. B on the danger list为固定短语，意为“病危，病入膏肓”。句意为“据该医院说，有5个重病号已略有好转”。19. A 句意为“说实话，我的粗心在很大程度上导致了我这次考试的失败”。contribute to“导致，促成”，符合句意。20. C recommend表示“建议”时，其宾语从句要用虚拟语气“should+动词原形”，should可以省略。故选C。21. C 句意为“缺乏地方习俗之间存在文化差异的意识（awareness）可能会引发问题”。22. B proposal后接that引导的同位语从句，从句的谓语应用“should+动词原形”的形式，should可以省略。句意为“他接受了第二天早上早点动身的提议”。
