三级英语真题和答案解析

16. I'm as short as she is, I mean I am ______ she is. ○ [A] not tall than ○ [B] no taller than ○ [C] not as tall as ○ [D] no more taller than [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是比较级的用法。全句的意思是：“我和她一样矮，就是说我不比她高。”no+ 比较级+than表示“与……一样也不”，及主语和从句都是否定。选项A、 C,D为结构性错误，不符合“not+形容词比较级”或“no十形容词比较级”的结构要求。单音节形容词比较级前不加more，变化在词尾。根据句意，应选答案B。 题 17 17. By eleven o'clock the day before yesterday, we ______ at the station. ○ [A] had arrived ○ [B] have arrived ○ [C] shall arrive ○ [D] arrive [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是动词过去完成时的用法。全句的意思是：“到前天11点钟为止，我们已经到车站了。”by接时间名词作状语通常表示一段时间，本题已给出一个明确的过去时间，即“By eleven o'clock the day before yesterday”，说明主句谓语动词所表示的动作发生在此之前，因此主句时态应用过去完成时表示过去的过去发生的动作。根据句意，应选答案A。 题 18 18. Lily looked so sad because she had ______ by her friends. ○ [A] laughed ○ [B] laughed at ○ [C] been laughed ○ [D] been laughed at [参考答案]、 [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是动词被动语态的用法。全句的意思是：“莉莉看起来很伤心，是因为她被朋友嘲笑了。”根据句意，可判断出此空应用动词的被动语态。在被动语态中，短语动词laugh at中的介词at不能省略。laugh意为“大笑”，laugh at意为“嘲笑”。根据句意，应选答案D。 题 19 22. The United Nations ______ formed in 1945. ○ [A] is ○ [B] was ○ [C] are ○ [D] were [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是主谓一致的用法。全句的意思是：“联合国形成于1945年。”1945年是过去时间状语，因此排除A选项和C选项。联合国是机构名称，作主语时，谓语用单数。根据句意，应选答案B。 题 20 20. Jim ______ be a basketball player, for he is much too short. ○ [A] needn't ○ [B] can't ○ [C] shouldn't ○ [D] may [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是情态动词表示猜测功能的用法。全句的意思是：“吉姆不可能成为一名篮球运动员，因为他太矮了。”根据句意可判断出此题是对现在情况的否定性的推断。“must + have done”表示对过去情况的肯定猜测，否定句中用“can't + have done”。应选答案B。 题 21 21. If she had studied harder, she ______. ○ [A] wouldn't have failed ○ [B] hadn't failed ○ [C] should fail ○ [D] wouldn't fail [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是动词的虚拟语气的用法。全句的意思是：“要是她努力学习，她就不会考试不及格了。”从if引导的从句中谓语动词是had done结构可判断出此句对过去情况棍反的虚拟语气，即为would have done结构。根据句意，应选答案A。 题 23 23. Though it was getting dark, ______ still went on working. ○ [A] he ○ [B] but he ○ [C] and he ○ [D] so he [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是让步状语从句的用法。全句的意思是：“虽然天已经黑了，但他还在工作。”在让步状语从句中，though和but不能出现在同一个句子中，也不能和so/and连用。根据句意，应选答案A。 题 24 24. ______ is known to the world, Beethoven is a great German musician. ○ [A] As ○ [B] Which ○ [C] That ○ [D] Who [参考答案] [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是定语从句的用法。全句的意思是：“全世界都知道贝多芬是一位伟大的德国音乐家。”that不可以用来引导非限制性定语从句；which引导定语从句时用来指物，who用来指人，但都不可用于句首。as引导非限制性定语从句一般置于主句的前面，修饰后面的整个主句，表示“如……，像……”之意。根据句意，应选答案 A。 题 25 25. The first thing ______ I would do when I get America is to write to you. ○ [A] which ○ [B] that ○ [C] as ○ [D] what [参考答案] B [您的答案] [得分] 0 [详细解答] 本题测试的是定语从句的用法。全句的意思是：“当我到达美国后要做的第一件事就是给你写信。”当定语从句所修饰的先行词前有序数词或形容词的最高级时，关系代词只能用that。根据句意，应选答案B。 Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here.
