6、eingC.who was suspected to be D.suspecting to答案:B提示:本题考查动词suspect的用法。suspect.to be./suspect.of.是常见结构。由once可知“这个职员被怀疑是小偷”发生在谓语动词之前，可用who had been suspected of being/to be来表示，或者用过去分词短语suspected of being/to be。5.Everything goes _.A.correctly B.exactly C.smoothly D.steadily答案:C提示:本题考查副词的区别。句子意思是“一切进展顺利”
7、。smoothly adv.顺利地，平稳地；根据句子语境，用smoothly 最适合。注意smooth不仅可以作形容词用，还可以作动词，可以组成一些短语，smooth away消除(困难等)；smooth down 使平静。6.(2004湖北) Once a decision has been made,all of us should _ it.A.direct to B.stick to C.lead to D.refer to答案:B提示:本句意为“一旦作出了决定，所有的人都应该遵守”。stick to坚持；refer to所指，参考；lead to导致。根据句子语境可以看出,这里选择B
8、项最恰当。7. _ a mobile phone can you ring_ you want to talk with.A.Using;whoever B.Only on;whomeverC.By;whom D.With;who答案:B提示:only 修饰状语或状语从句时，后面的句子要部分倒装。whomever(不论谁)引导宾语从句又作talk with 的宾语。8. _,I think,and the problems could be settled.A.If you double your efforts B.So long as you keep your spiritsC.A bi
9、t more efforts D.Making great efforts答案:C提示:此题考查“祈使句+陈述句”句式，中间的“I think”是插入语，而and连接两个并列的句子。A bit more efforts相当于Make a bit more efforts(祈使句)。9.This candidate has far more chances of winning the election than _ recommended by the organizer.A.that B.the one C.whom D.one答案:B 提示:than后明显不是定语从句，排除C项；空格后有定

11、ity?A.with;attached to B.to;attached toC.with;attached with D.to;attaching to答案:A提示:be familiar with“对熟悉”和be attached to“附属于”都是固定搭配。12.We have asked the neighbors to _the house for us while we are away for holidays.Which of the following is not proper?A.make preparations to B.stare atC.keep an eye o

13、子的主语，the book与write之间存在被动关系，排除B项。答案为D。14.No sooner_ arrived _he was asked to leave again.A.he had;than B.had he;thanC.he had;when D.had he;when答案:B提示:no sooner.than.表示“一就”。no sooner位于句首时，主句部分倒装，正确答案为B。15.(2010重庆高考) Millions of pounds worth of damage _ by a storm which swept across the north of Engla
14、nd last night.A.has been caused B.had been causedC.will be caused D.will have been caused答案:A提示:句子意思是“昨天晚上横扫英国北部的风暴造成了数百万英镑的损失”。这里指对现在造成的影响和结果，所以用现在完成时，本来damage是cause的宾语，现在却成了它的逻辑主语，所以要用被动语态。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around th
