2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析

【完形填空原文】

Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.

But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally?

In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent!

But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it.

Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.

【语法题真题及解析】

51. Facing the board of directors,he didn't

deny __________ breaking the agreement.

A. him

B. it

C. his

D.

its

解析：本题考查动名词的逻辑主语。动名词可以有自己的逻辑（意义）主语，一般可以用名词所有格Tom‘s，代词宾格如him（口语），书面语情况下一般用物主代词his，their。本题选C，但我还是要吐槽，因为根本就不需要多此一举添

加his, he didn't

deny breaking the

agreement完全正确，比原题要精简地道许多，从写作角度来看，his根本是多余的，当然纯粹考察语法的话选C。

52. Xinchun returned from aboard a

different man. The italicized part functions as a(n) _______.

A. appositive(同位语)

B. object

C.

adverbial D. complement.

解析：此题恐怕是最受争议的题目了，有人认为选A，有人认为选D。据目前来看，选D，具体讲解有待更新

53. Which of the following is a compound word

(复合词)？

A. Nonsmoker

B. Deadline

C.Meaness

D. Misfit

解析：首先要知道什么是复合词。A compound is a word that consists of more

than one free morpheme。所谓morpheme词素是最小的音义结合体，其最大的特点是不能再被分割为更小的音义结合体。而free

morpheme是指能独立存在使用的词素，bound morpheme则是必须依附于其他单位的词素，比如前缀后缀属于bound morpheme，如pre-，-ment，在单词shipment里，ship就是free

morpheme，ment则是bound。因此四个选项里只有deadline是由两个free morpheme构成（dead+line），其他三个都有Bound

morpheme比如non,ness,mis-等。

54. Which of the following sentences contains

subjunctive mood?

A. Lucy insisted that her son get home before 5

o'clock?

B. She used to drive to work, but now she takes

the city metro.

C. Walk straight ahead, and don't turn till the

second traffic lights.

D. Paul will cancel his flight if he cannot get

his visa by Friday.

解析: subjunctive

mood是指虚拟语气，四个选项里只有A的insist属于虚拟语气用法，其中that从句里省略了should。

55. The following determiners(限定词) can be used

with both plural and uncountable nouns EXCEPT

A. more

B. enough

C.many

D. such

解析：限定词的用法是近几年专四的热门考点，诸如some，many，both，all，each等用法究竟如何还是希望大家多翻阅语法书和词典。这道题看似有点难度，也许你从来不知道哪个限定词可以接名词复数和不可数名词，但好在备选项里每个单词你都可以去接名词试试就知道了，比如more

money,more trees; enough money, enough trees; many money?, many trees; such big

trees, such behavior.所以选C。

56. Which of the italicized parts indicates

CONTRAST?

A. She opended the door and quietly

went in.

B. Victoria likes music and Sam is

fond of sports.

C. Think it over again and you'll get

an answer.

D. He is somewhat arrogant, and I

don't like this.

解析：首先要明白and不一定表示并列。A，C里的and表示先后；D里的and表示递进；只有B里的and表示对比。

57. Which of the following CANNOT be used as a

nominal substitute(名词替代词)？

A. Much

B. Neither

C. One

D. Quarter

解析：估计不少学生看到名词替代词这个术语，一开始都吓着了，因为压根没听说过，不过对做这道题目倒无大碍，所谓名词替代词顾名思义就是指能代替名词或名词短语，避免重复的词，英语里one,

ones,(the)same等都是常见的。比如There are good films as well as bad ones.除此以外还有the kind,

the sort，比如Slang disappears quickly, especially the juvenile

sort.还有一些不定代词等比如all, both, some, any enough, several, none, many,

much, (a) few, (a) little, the other, others, another, either,

neither等，比如Can you get me some nails? I need some. I don’t want

any more food. I’ve had enough. 本题选D, quarter不是名词替代词。

58. All the following sentences definitely

indicate future time EXCEPT

A. Mother is to have tea with Aunt Betty at

four.

B. The President is coming to the UN next

week,

C. The school pupils will be home by

now.

D. He is going to email me the necessary

information.

解析：这道题目有点意思，既考查时态，又考查will的用法，A/B/D都是将来时的各种表达，唯独C的will，看似是将来时标志，其实不然，因为和by

now矛盾，这里will的用法是指you think something is true，表说话人自己的看法，比如That will be Tim coming

home now; Ask anyone and they will tell you the same thing. 本题选C。

59. Which of the following sentences is

grammatically INCORRECT?

A. Politics are the art or science of

government.

B. Ten miles seems like a long walk to

me.

C. Mumps is a kind of infectious

disease.

D. All the furniture has arrived

undamaged.

解析：本题考查主谓一致（agreement）。ten

miles看作整体单数，mumps腮腺炎这个单词就是以s结尾的，不可数名词；furniture在英语里是不可数名词；A里的politics并不是指政治，而是指政治学(political

science)，是不可数名词，但这个用法主要是英式英语。此外，politics表示政治可以看作不可数名词，也可以看作复数，比如Politics have

always interested me. 本题选A。

60. Which of in the following phrases indicates

a subject-predicate relationship?

A. The arrival of the tourists

B. The law of Newton

C.The occupation of the island

D. The plays of Oscar Wilde

解析：传统语法和现代句法学关于什么是predicate本身就不一样，题目的传统语法predicate指谓语，是对主语动作或状态的陈述或说明，指出“做什么”“是什么”或“怎么样”。其次，说实话，我手上所有图书查不到相关语法点讲解subject-predicate

relationship，谷歌后也没有什么结果，但我知道是选A，游客到来，只是我暂时找不出任何可靠来源来解释。

61. Which of the following italicized parts

serves as an appositive?

A. He is not the man to draw

back.

B. Tony hit back the urge to tell a

lie.

C. Larry has a large family to

support.

D. There is really nothing to

fear.

解析：又是同位语？！但是翻遍手上的各类参考书，都没有关于不定式to的同位语用法。四个选项的用法在语法书里并没有做进一步区分，都成为不定式的定语用法，修饰名词。不过还是可以看出不太一样的地方，A中名词和不定式是动宾结构the

man draw back，C和D都是不定式和名词构成动宾to fear nothing, to support

family；而唯独B,urge(冲动)的内容就是指to tell a lie撒谎，故为同位语。

62. Which of the following is NOT an imperative

sentence?

A. Let me drive you home, shall I?

B. You will mind your own business.

C. Come and have dinner with us.

D. I wish you could stay behind.

解析：花了点时间翻遍手头各类语法和用法图书，除了直接用动词打头，Do/Don't，You/其他唤名+动词,

let类型外，均没有见到D的wish类型。

63. If it _______ tomorrow, the match would be

put off.

A. were to rain

B. was to

rain C. was raining D. had rained

解析：最经典的If条件虚拟句，说的是将来，应该选A.

64. Which of the following sentences expresses

a fact?

A. Mary and her son must be home by now.

B. Careless reading must give poor

results.

C. It's getting late, and I must leave

now.

D. He must be working late at the

office.

解析：很多人都以为选B，其实应该选C。A，B和D都是推测，当然了C里说的fact其实是指天色不早了。请注意B，不要以为有了must就是fact，情态动词再华丽还是表示情态，说话人的态度观点，B要改为Careless

reading gives poor results才是fact。

65. The following are all dynamic verbs(动态动词)

EXCEPT

A. remain

B. turn

C. write

D.

knock

解析：看到专四考这个题目，我只能呵呵。动态动词是指能够延续持续动作的，比如hit，run等，相反的则是stative verb静态动词，比如know.现在进行时是常见检验手段。你不能说I am knowing the answer，只能说I know the answer，因此know是静态动词。同理，题目的A选项remain也是静态动词，其他都是动态动词。

英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题及解析

2016年英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题 参考答案与解析 11. How can I concentrate if you _________ continually ______ me with silly questions? A. have… interrupted B. are… interrupted C. had… interrupting D. were… interrupting 选A。虽然我觉得更应该说you are continually interrupting me with silly questions。不过这里用现在完成时表示的是一个动作发生过成为过去经历，有可能多次发生，也就是打断一次、两次、三次等等不断重复到现在。 12. Among the four sentences below, Sentence ___ expresses the highest degree of possibility? A. It may take a long time to find a solution to the problem. B. It might take a long time to find a solution to the problem. C. It could take a long time to find a solution to the problem. D. It should take a long time to find a solution to the problem. 选D。四个里把握度最高的是should，其次是may，最后是might和could。 13. She is a better speaker than _____ in the class. A. any boy B. the other boys C. other any girl D. all the girls 选A。主语是she，女的，所以不能选B。C的正确说法是any other girl。 14. Nobody heard him sing, ______? A. did one B. did he C. didn’t they D. did they 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）317页，nobody这种附加疑问句，书面语里用he。口语里偶见they。实际上，现代英语里为了避免有语言歧视（为什么只有he，没有she），很多人都避免只用he，而多改为they。 15. I can’t put up with ________. A. that friend of you B. that friend of yours C. the friend of you D. the friend of yours 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）57-58页，这种双重属格结构所修饰的名词可带a, any, some等表示非确定特指的限定词，但通常不带定冠词。比如a daughter of Mrs. Green’s, any/some daughters of Mrs/ Green’s。 16. There has been an increasing number of _______ in primary schools in the past few years. A. man teacher B. men teacher C. man teachers D. men teachers 选D。合成名词复数，man/woman这种，两种都要变成复数，比如women drivers。

英语专业四级语法词汇练习题

英语专业四级语法词汇练习题（6） 所属：专四专八阅读：1021 次评论：7 条[我要评论] [+我要收藏] 有关否定 1)双重否定最常见的形式有： no(not)...but...没有……不…… no(not)...without...没有……不，除……不 no(not)...unless没有……就不…… not...until直到……才…… 例如：There is no one but knows it.没有一个人不知道此事。 2)can not与副词too,enough, sufficiently, over,too much等词连用时，意为“无论怎样也不过分”，“越…越”。例如： You cannot be too careful.你越仔细越好。 We cannot praise him too much.我们无论怎样赞扬他也不过分。 近义词辨析 break, crack, crush, shatter,break, smash 这组词均含有“打破”或“挤碎”的意思。 break 是这组词中最常用的，指使某件东西破碎。 If you break that vase, you’ll have to pay for it.如果打破了那只花瓶，你就得赔偿。crack 指打裂某物，但不一定打碎，因而通常不会成为碎片。 You may crack these nuts with a hammer.你可以用锤子把这些坚果敲开。 crush

强调挤压或踩的动作，毁坏程度取决于被压物的组织结构，或变形，或成小块，或可恢复原状。 To make wine, you first crush the grapes.若要造酒，需先将葡萄压碎。 shatter 打破某物，力大到使碎片飞出很远，常指整件东西完全被毁。 The explosion shattered most of the windows in the building.爆炸震碎了那座大楼 的大部分窗玻璃。smash 突出暴力，击打时动作较猛，被击打的东西往往完全报废。 He smashed the window with a brick.他用砖块击碎窗玻璃。 全真模拟试题 1. ____ native to North America, corn has now spread all over the world.

专业英语四级语法与词汇模拟题26

专业英语四级语法与词汇模拟题26 单项选择题 1. But for the accident, we ______ the task much earlier. A.should finish B.should have finished C.would finish D.shall have finished 答案：B [解答] 考查虚拟语气。 but for相当于without，if not for，意为“要不是”。用but for开头的句子就相当于if引导的非真实条件句，故排除选项C与D。对过去事情的虚拟，应该用完成时，故本题应该选B。 2. —When has the country been open to international trade? —1960, I suppose. A.Since B.In C.From D.After 答案：A [解答] 考查句子时态。 问句中用的是现在完成时态，when相当于下文的1978。since+过去某一时间点常与现在完成时连用，故选A项。 3. Despite the wonderful acting and well-developed plot the ______ movie could not hold our attention. A.three hours B.three-hour C.three hours'

D.three hour's 答案：B [解答] 考查复合词作定语。 数词+量词构成的复合词作定语时，中间用连接符连接，量词用单数。故B正确。 4. Careful surveys have indicated that as many as 50 percent of patients do not take drugs ______ directed. A.like B.so C.which D.as 答案：D [解答] 考查连词的用法。 此处考查引导方式状语从句的连词，空格后面实际上是一个省略句，完整形式应该是they are directed。由此可知该处缺少连词，意思应该是“以…方式”，故选as。 5. ______ the door when a gust of wind blew the candle out. A.He had no sooner opened B.Hardly had he opened C.Scarcely did he opened D.No sooner did he open 答案：B [解答] 考查倒装句。 hardly/scarcely…when或no sooner…than为固定搭配，意为“一…就…”。含有此结构的句子，表示从句中的动作一发生，主句中的动作随即发生，并且当hardly/scarcely或no sooner置于句首时，从句的主语和谓语必须倒装；另外，在以上结构中，主句一般用过去完成时，从句一般用一般过去时。由此可知正确答案为B。

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧 答题步骤 首先,我们来看完型填空的解题步骤 （一）通读全文，了解文章大意 阅读理解是做Cloze的基础, 因此应该在对全文有了较全面的了解的基础上, 再开始做选择题, 切忌为了节约时间, 在未掌握大意的基础上“拿起来就做, 见空就填, 边填边理解”.那样做的结果, 不仅不能够节约时间, 而且会因为只考虑到所填的词在短语或句子内是否可行而忽略了整篇文章的连贯和结构, 造成选择错误. 因此,速读全文要一气呵成，尽管有空格、 生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词，划出某些代表 人物和情节的词，以便于形成思路。 当然, 由于考试时间有限，只能用略读法(skimming)将全文快速浏览一遍，明确文章的主题、 体裁。尤其要认真阅读全文的第一句，因为第一句都是一个没有空格的完整的句子，对后 文的重要提示。 （二）抓住首尾句 在阅读时要特别注意文章的第一句和最后一句，因为它们通常是文章的主题句，是全文的 中心所在。从第一句中可以窥见作者的写作目的，把握作者的写作思路以及文章将要叙述 的内容。而最后一句是作者对文章内容的归纳总结，表明作者的观点和态度，有利于加强 考生对文章的理解。 （三）联系上下文，进行逻辑推理 完形填空中有些空格的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和单句的角度考虑均行得通。但由于文 章是一个完整的统一体，词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系，此时，需要在上下文中寻 找有关的提示或暗示，对文章的情节进行逻辑分析，抓住主要语言信息的词语，理顺句与 句之间的关系，确定合理的答案。 （四）逐题选择答案 浏览全文之后，开始进入逐题做答阶段，运用查读法(Scanning)，对所有选择项从语法、 搭配和语篇等方面进行反复推敲，从而选出最佳答案。做题原则是瞻前顾后，灵活答题。“瞻前顾后”，即先读所填词的句子，回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空白待 填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。答题方法：1）择优法：根据文章及结构边读边填，如果能够立刻判定最佳答案的，不必再去逐个考证

专业英语四级语法与词汇模拟题4 单项选择题 1. Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the disabled, will publish ______ proposals in the near future. A.their B.our C.his D.its 答案：D [解答] 考查代词的用法。 本句的主语是association，后跟which引导的定语从句，从句中的谓语动词为has pressed for。association是物不是人，因此代词应该用its，故选D。 2. Had Judy been more careful on the math exam, she ______ much better results now. A.would be getting B.could have got C.must get D.would get 答案：D [解答] 考查虚拟语气(错综时间条件句)。 从句是对过去事实的虚拟，省略了if，因此为倒装形式；主句是对现在(主句中有now)情况的虚拟，因此主句用would do结构，故选D。 3. Nine is to three ______ three is to one. A.when B.that C.which

答案：D [解答] 考查方式状语从句。 这道题考查固定句式：A is to B what C is to D。what在句中引导方式状语从句，表示“好比，正如”，故选D。 4. Men differ from animals ______ they can think and speak. A.for which B.for that C.in that D.in which 答案：C [解答] 考查原因状语从句。 in that意为“因为”，引导原因状语从句。for which和in which引导的是定语从句，for that不能引导从句。故C为正确答案。 5. ______ he wanted to go out with his friends at the weekend, he had to stay behind to finish his assignment. A.Much though B.Much as C.As much D.Though much 答案：B [解答] 考查让步状语从句。 much as意为“尽管”，相当于though，引导让步状语从句。as much意为“同样地”。A、D不是惯用搭配，故选B。 6. I enjoyed myself so much ______ I visited my friends in Paris last year.

英语四级名词语法题目

一名词的种类 1According to the new tax law, any money earned over that level is taxed at the of 59 per cent. A.ratio B. percentage C. proportion D. Rate 【详解】答案为D，按照新的税收法，凡是收入超过邢个标准的都要按59%的税率征税。 名词词义和用法辨析题。rate“比率”通常用于at the rate of(按......的比率)，故D正确。ratio“比，比率”，多以具体数据体现两个关系平行的事物的数量之比，所涉及的两个比较项必须同时出现；percentage“百分比”，因后面已经出现百分数，可排除此项；“比例”，通常用于in proportion to（依照比例；和......相比）和in the proportion of (以......的比例） 2The police have offered a large for information leading to the robber’s arrest. A.award B. compensation C.prize D.reward 【详解】答案为D，警方已经开出了大额悬赏，希望有人能提供有助于抓获抢劫犯的消息。reward表示“酬劳、报酬、奖赏”一般指因为做了某件事或提供了某种服务而应得的报答或酬谢。在本中，reward表示给提供消息的人报酬或奖赏，符合题意，选D。award表

示“奖，奖品，奖金”；prize的含义与award非常相似，也表示因出众的表现而获得的“奖品，奖金”，经常与某次考试、竞赛相联系；compensation 表示“补偿，赔偿” 3Drive straight ahead，and then you will see a to the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway. A.sign B. mark C.signal D.board 【详解】答案为A，直接向前开，然后你会看见一个路标指向上海一南京高速公路。sign“标记，记号，征兆”，尤指标准化的、复杂的或记号的形状本身带有指向意义的符号，还可指手势。在本甸用作“路标”这种标准化且带有形状含义的标记，符合题意。mark“标志，痕迹，记号”；signal“信号”，通常指特定情况下对有关人员发出的声音或行为；board“(供特殊用途的)木板”。 二名词单复数 4“Look!

虚拟语气 一．一般虚拟条件句 (1) 与现在事实相反 ——If I were you, I wouldn’t worry. ——If I had the book at hand, I would read the passage to you. 那么，虚拟语气现在时的句型为： 从句：If + 主语＋动词过去式(be 变were) +… 主句：主语＋would (should ,could ,might ) + 动词原形＋… (2) 与过去事实相反 ——If you had gone to last night’s games, you would have met him. ——If the policeman had arrived earlier, he would have seen the accident. 那么，虚拟语气过去时的结构是： 从句：If＋主语＋过去完成时… 主句：主语＋should (或would,could,might) + 现在完成时… (3) 与将来事实相反 ——If he should come tomorrow, I would give him the dictionary he needs. ——If Mr. Li were to do the experiment tomorrow, he might read the instructions carefully.

那么虚拟语气将来时的句型是： 从句：If+主语＋should (或were to )+动词原形＋… 主句：同虚拟语气现在时的主句结构。 练习： 1.I f this report were more accurate, it __________ an invaluable document. A.were B.had been C.will be D.would be (D) 2.I _______ in trouble if the police had stopped me. A.were B.would have been C.would be D.had been (B) 3.W hat would you do if war _________ out. A.breaks B.could break C.had broken out D. were to break (D) 二、在if引导的虚拟条件句中，若有were, had, should，可省去if,将were, had, should提到主语前，形成倒装。例如： ——Should there be a meeting tomorrow, he would tell you.
