20、年油价的上升对现在造成影响,故用现在完成时。选D, 2答案及解析：答案： C解析： 句意:简在医学院学习了5年之后开始在农村当医生。take up 从事,做,符合句意。set out 出发,开始;take over 接受,接管;set up 建立,树立。 3答案及解析：答案： D解析： 句意:马克需要学习汉语,因为他的公司将在北京开一个分公司。本句中的“在北京开一个分公司”是“需要学习汉语”的原因,四个选项中引导原因状语从句的只有since。unless意为“如果不;除非”,引导条件状语从句;until意为“直到时”,引导时间状语从句;although意为“尽管,虽然”,引导让步状语从句。 4
21、答案及解析：答案： C解析： 考查特殊句式。句首有关键词Never,否定词提前到句首,句子部分倒装。排除B,D。再根据句子时态,应用现在完成时,故选C项。句意:她从来都没有看到过谁打网球和Robert一样好的。 5答案及解析：答案： D解析： 选D。be due to do意为“应该/预期的”;be about to do不和时间状语连用;possible主语应为it;而likely与句意不合。 6答案及解析：答案：B解析：句意:虽因年老不能多操劳,但这个退休工人对邻里工做非常热心。be enthusiastic for/about sth.对某事热心。 7答案及解析：答案：A解析：句意:长城

26、的句子的时态不会用将来时,而应该用一般过去式;而这篇短文用的是将来时;故排除B。选项D一个官方的报道。根据The Cambridge Science Festival (CSF) is pleased to inform you of the sixth annual Curiosity Challenge.可知这里是剑桥科技节的名誉写的通知,而并非官方,故排除D。【长难句分析】Students who enter the Curiosity Challenge and are selected as winners will be honored at a special ceremony
