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
7
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<
/p>
has pressed
，
后
面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的，
故选
D<
/p>
。
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<
/p>
公布，

/p>
press

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。

相对于
1
。

。这也是专四考
试频考的知识点之一：

that
引导原因状语从句。

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：

much
as
引导的让步状语从句，意为“尽管”
=although
。而

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.

< br>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
< br>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
8 <
/p>
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
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<
/p>
firmly
，
flatly
，
gracefully
，
politely
等，
但是当
ref
use
后接动词不定式短语的时候，副词修饰的就是
refus
e
to
do
这个动宾结构了。
如：
resolutely refuse to answer<
/p>
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”
< br>，
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
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<
/p>
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，
< br>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.

of all evil.

siz
e/amount/length/width/depth/weight
等抽象名词
+of
…：
The
earth
is
49
times
the
