21.The repairs cost a lot, but it’s money well _______. (2005湖北卷)

A. to spend          B. spent                 C. being spent     D. spending

【答案】B。

【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。

【解析】因money与spend是被动关系，所以用过去分词。句意为：维修花了不少钱，但这钱花得值。又如：The survey may cost at least £100 but it is money well spent. 该调查可能要花费至少 100 英镑，但这钱花得值。

22. When the old man _______ to walk back to his house, the sun _______ itself behind the mountain. (2005湖北卷)

A. started; had already hidden        B. had started; had already hidden

C. had stared; was hiding                D. was starting; hid

【答案】A。

【考点】考查动词时态的用法。

【解析】“开始回房子”发生在过去，故用一般过去时；“太阳落山”是在“开始回房子”之前，即过去的过去，故用过去完成时。即答案选A。句意为：当老人开始步行回家时，太阳已经落山了。

23.He was hoping to go abroad but his parents _______ that they won’t support him unless he can borrow money from the bank. (2005湖北卷)

A. were deciding     B. have decided      C. decided              D. will decide

【答案】B。

【考点】考查动词时态的用法。

【解析】因宾语从句中的时态是一般将来时，主句中的谓语动词不可能是过去时态，排除选项A和C；由语境判断，不是“将要决定”，而是“现在已经决定”，所以排除D，选B。

24. To understand the grammar of the sentence, you must break it _______ into parts. (2005湖北卷)

A. down                B. up                      C. off                      D. out

【答案】A。

【考点】考查短语动词中副词小品词的用法。

【解析】break down 在此表示“分解”。句意为：想弄懂这个句子的语法，你必须它分解成几个部分。又如：John broke down the washing machine. 约翰拆开了洗衣机。You say that 10，000 people use this library. Could you break that down into age-groups? 你说有10，000人使用这所图书馆。你能否按年龄组将数字分解一下？

25. —Would you mind my coming over and having a look at your new garden? My little son’s curious about those roses you grow.

— _______. You’re welcome (2005湖北卷)

A. Yes, I do           B. Never mind      C. Yes, please      D. Not at all

【答案】D。

【考点】考查交际口语的用法。

【解析】由后文“不必客气”可知，是不介意对方来，所以用Not at all。又如：“Do you mind if I record your lecture?” “Not at all. Go ahead.” “你会介意我记录你的演讲吗？”“一点也不介意，去做吧！”“I’ll be away on a business trip. Would you mind looking after my cat?” “Not at all. I’d be happy to.”“我要出差几天，帮我照看一下猫，你介意吗?”“一点也不介意，非常乐意。”

26. _______ from other continents for millions of years, Australia has many plants and animals not found in any other country in the world. (2005湖北卷)

A. Being separated                           B. Having separated 

C. Having been separated               D. To be separated

【答案】C。

【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。

【解析】因为Australia与separate是被动关系，且separate发生在谓语动词has之前，所以用现在分词的完成被动式作原因状语。句意为：由于与其他大陆已经分离了数百万年，所以澳大利亚的许多动植物是世界其他地方找不到的。

27. First, it is important to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from _______. (2005湖北卷)

A. everyone else    B. the other           C. someone else       D. the rest

【答案】A。

【考点】考查不定代词的用法。

【解析】不是与具体哪一个人或哪些人不同，即不是特指，排除选项B和D；不是另外某个人而是除自己外的其他所有人，所以不选C，而选A。句意为：首先，重要的是你得认识自己是个什么样的人，你具有什么样的特殊品质使你不同于其他任何人。

28. What a table! I’ve never seen such a thing before. It is _______ it is long. (2005湖北卷)

A. half not as wide as B. wide not as half as   C. not half as wide as D.as wide as not half

【答案】C(ask.hxen.net/)。

【考点】考查as…as…结构的用法。

【解析】因为not是否定动词is的，要紧靠is, 表示程度的half要放在第一个as之前，即选C。注意，根据英语语法，修饰as…as…结构的修饰语一定要放在整个as…as…结构之前，即放在第一个as之前。又如：He didn’t sell half as many videos as he thought he would.他售出的录像带还不到他设想的一半。
