D stop

正确答案为A). stopped. It is (high) time的意思是到了做…的时候了. 从句中一般用过去时构成虚拟语气. 此句型为历年专四考试常考句型.

55 The student said there were a few points in the essay he __ impossible to comprehend.

A has found

D a success as much as

正确答案为C). 这题是本年专四语法考试中最难的一道题目. as much of a …as是固定结构,类似的结构还有more of a …than, less of a…than, 如果是这些比较结构,则名词只能放在比较结构中, 如: It was as much of a success as I had hoped. He is more of a sportsman than his brother. We can let you have as many copies as you need. 所以选项A的正确形式应该是more of a success than…, B选项只能将名词置于比较结构中间.

2008年

51. 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. 考查物主代词。逗号与逗号之间的是作为插入语，是association的定语从句，在此association作为一个整体概念出现，且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词has pressed，后面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的，故选D。句意：我们的协会一直在敦促给残疾人更多的就业机会，并且讲在最近公布建议书。publish公布，proposal提议；建议，press for敦促；迫切要求。

52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she ____ much better results now.

A. would be getting

B. could have got

C. must get

D. would get

答案：D.考查虚拟语气（错综时间虚拟语气）。从句部分是对过去的虚拟，省略了if，因此出现倒装，但主句部分出现了明显的时间标志词now，可见是对现在的虚拟，故应该是would/could/should/might do的形式，而get为瞬间动词，不用进行时，故选D。句意：如果朱迪数学考试时更认真一些，她现在成绩就会好多了。

53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one.

A. when

B. that

C. which

D. what

答案：D。这是专四考试频考知识点了：A is to B what C is to D，由what引导的方式状语从句。句意：9相对于3等同于3相对于1。

54. Men differ from animals ____ they can think and speak.

A. for which

B. for that

C. in that

D. in which

答案：C。这也是专四考试频考的知识点之一：in that引导原因状语从句。for that不能引导从句，A和D都引导定语从句。句意：人之所以有别于动物在于他们能思考，会说话。55. ____ 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. 考查由much as引导的让步状语从句，意为“尽管”=although。而as much意为“同样地，这样地”。A和D不是固定搭配。句意：尽管他想周末和朋友出去，却不得不留下完成作业。

56. I enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends in Paris last year.

A. when

B. which

C. that

D. where

答案：A. 考查时间状语从句。四个选项都可以引导定语从句，但这里没有后面从句修饰的先行词，故出现的不是定语从句。从两部分之间的关系来看，后面部分提到了时间段，因此填入when，成为时间状语从句。句意：去年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。

57. Which of the following is INCORRECT?

A. All his lectures were boring.

B. Half his money was gone.

C. Her few friends are all fond of dancing.

D. He invited many his friends to the party.

答案:D. 本题是今年专四试卷中出现的新题型，对英语专业同学的语法知识提出了一个更高的要求。考查的是限定词位置的用法。英语中的限定词可分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位限定词，一个名词前的限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位的顺序出现，其中两个前位或两个中位词不能同时出现在同一个名词前。many是后位限定词，而his是中位限定词，与限定词排序规则有悖，故D为答案。A选项中all是前位，his是中位，符合规则；B中half 是前位，his是中位限定词；C中her是中位，few是后位限定词。

58. When you have finished with that book, don't forget to put it back on my desk, _____?

A. do you

B. don't you

C. will you

D. won't you

答案：C. 考查的是反义疑问句。复合句的反义疑问句应反问主句部分，本句主句是否定祈使句don’t forget to…，故祈使部分用will you。句意：你读完那本书后，别忘了把它放回我的书桌上，好吗？

59. What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?

A. It was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.

B. He refused to spend his money in a wise manner.

C. He was short of money and didn't want to buy anything.

D. He refused, in a wise manner, to spend his money.

答案：A. 本题属于“句意理解题”，也是伴随着57题，作为08专四的新题型，着实让考生出乎意料。本题关键在于分析句中的wisely是修饰refused的，还是修饰refused to spend his money的，可以直接修饰refuse的副词有很多，如firmly，flatly，gracefully，politely等，但是当refuse后接动词不定式短语的时候，副词修饰的就是refuse to do这个动宾结构了。如：resolutely refuse to answer坚决拒绝回答。可见题干中句子的含义是：他明智地拒绝花钱（这件事情），这表示他拒绝花钱这件事是很明智的，故选A。

60. They stood chatting together as easily and naturally as ____.

A. it could be

B. could be

C. it was

D. was

答案：A. as…as one can表示“尽可能地”。A和B的区别就在于主语不同，B是they could be 的省略形式，因为主句中出现的动词是stood，不是be动词，因此该选项中的动词与前面不符；it could be表示的意思是“在可能的情况下”，it指代前面提到的内容。句意：他们站在那儿尽可能地随意聊天。

61. The following are all correct responses to "Who told the

news to the teacher?" EXCEPT

A. Jim did this.

B. Jim did so.

C. Jim did that.

D. Jim did. 答案：A. 对Who told the news to the teacher的标准回答是Jim did，即Jim did it的省略句。此外，还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容，so和that都可以指代前文中提到的内容，而this通常用于指代下文内容。

62. Quality is ____ counts most.

A. which

B. that

C. what

D. where

答案：C. 句中is后为表语从句，该从句中缺少主语，that引导名词性从句时不做成分，where 为地点状语，which引导非限制性定语从句，故这里选what（做双重身份：表语从句引导词和表语从句中的主语）

63. In his plays Shakespeare _____ his characters live through

their language.

A. would make

B. had made

C. made

D. makes

答案：D. 本题考查一般现在时的用法。在书报的标题、球赛现场报导、小说著作等的情况介绍常用一般现在时。如：The Bible says love of money is the root of all evil.

64. The square itself is five hundred yards wide, five times ____

the size of St. Peter's in Rome.

A. /

B. that of

C. which is

D. of

答案：A. 考查倍数表达法。本题考查的就是倍数表达法中较为常见的一种：倍数+the size/amount/length/width/depth/weight等抽象名词+of…：The earth is 49 times the size of the moon. 其他几种常见的倍数表达法有：倍数+as+adj/adv+as；倍数+adj/adv比较级+than；65. Which of the following sentences expresses "probability（可

能性）"?

A. You must leave immediately.

B. You must be feeling rather tired.

C. You must be here by eight o'clock.

D. You must complete the reading assignment on time.

答案：B. 考查情态动词的用法。must作为情态动词除了表示命令、必须等意思之外，还有表示肯定推测，可能会怎么样的意思。A：你必须离开；C：你必须8点前到这儿；D：你必须按时完成阅读作业。如上三个意思均为“肯定、必须”。B：你一定感到很累了。表示肯定的判断，表示可能性，故选B。

66. When he first started in university, he really felt at _____ with his major --- economics.

A. shore

B. bank

C. ocean

D. sea

答案：D. at sea是固定搭配，表示“茫然，不知所措”。句意：他开始上大学时对自己所学的经济学专业确实感到很茫然。

67. On the road motorists should be aware of cyclists and be ____ towards them.

A. considerable

B. considering

C. considerate

D. considered

答案：C. 同一词根衍生出来的形容词辨析。considerate意为“考虑他人的，体恤别人的，考虑周详的”=thoughtful；considerable意为“相当的，可观的，数目庞大的”（可以巧记，字母多一个，所以数量大）；considered和considering分别是动词consider的过去分词和现在分词，不符语境，不做形容词，故排除。句意：在路上，开车者应该注意并考虑到骑车的人。

68. Sally was a bit shy, but the teacher found her quite ____ discussing a recent film with others.

A. at home

B. at most

C. at house

D. at heart

答案：A. at home意为“舒适。无拘束”；at most意为“最多，不超过”；at heart意为“在内心里，在本质上”；at house不是固定搭配。句意：萨利有点儿害羞，但是老师发现她在和别人讨论一部新电影时非常从容。

69. The company has capitalized _____ the error of judgment made by its business competitor.

A. in

B. over

C. with

D. on

答案：D. capitalize on是固定搭配，意为“利用”（充分利用某事物；从某事物中获利；投机倒把；自恃）；句意：该公司利用了商业竞争者判断的失误。capitalize用大写字母写或印刷；使…资本化；估计…的价值；把…定为首都。

2013年专业英语四级真题及答案(豪华整理版)

PART I DICTATION （原文） What is a dream for One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can?t solve in real life. We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution. The modern image is that dreams are the brain?s way of cleaning up the computer?s hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened to us that day. PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION [20 MIN] SECTION A CONVERSATIONS In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation. At the end of the conversation, you will be given 15 seconds to answer the questions. Now, listen to the conversation. 1. According to the conversation, an example of “Christmas trimmings” could be A. presents. B. fruits. C. sauce. D. meat. 2. A Christmas lunch would include all the following EXCEPT A. roast turkey.

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析

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.
