�、�.語法單句填空

　　1.(2011·江蘇改編)We'd better discuss everything ________detail before we work out the plan.

　　答案：in　句意：我們最好在制訂計劃之前詳細(xì)地討論一切事情。in detail詳細(xì)地。

　　2.________(approach) the city centre, we saw a stone statue of about 10 metres in height.

　　答案：Approaching　句意：靠近城市中心時，我們看見一座大約10米高的石雕。邏輯主語we與approach之間是主動關(guān)系，且approach與saw幾乎同時發(fā)生。

　　3.Stephen was chosen ________(represent) the company at the conference.

　　答案：to represent　句意：Stephen被選出代表公司參加會議。

　　4.Studies show that people who like sitting in the office for hours without a break are more ________ to suffer from back problems.

　　答案：likely　句意：研究表明，喜歡長時間坐在辦公室里不休息的人更可能得背部疾病。likely，possible和probable都意為“可能的”，但只有l(wèi)ikely可用于sb.be likely to do sth.句型。

　　5.The old couple, ________ lived in the small village for years，can tell the names of all the villagers.

　　答案：having　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子成分可知，主語The old couple和live之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，且句中有表示一段時間的時間狀語for years，因此用live的現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式。

　　6.I know it's normal for such a thing to happen, but we ________(avoid) it if we'd been more careful.

　　答案：could/might/would/should have avoided　考查虛擬語氣。句意：我知道發(fā)生這樣的事情是正常的，但如果我們更小心一點兒的話，這樣的事是可以避免的。根據(jù)句中的“if we'd been more careful”可知，此處表示與過去事實相反的假設(shè)，故用could/might/would/should have done結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　7.At the conference, political leaders from many countries promised to work together to defend the world ________ terrorism and other threats.

　　答案：against　句意：會議上，來自多個國家的政治領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人承諾攜手保護(hù)全球免受恐怖活動和其他威脅的傷害。defend...against/with...“保護(hù)……免受……的傷害”。

　　8.—He should have been warned of the danger.

　　—So he ________(be), but he wouldn't listen to me.

　　答案：was　考查固定句型。根據(jù)答句可知，后者贊同前者的話。此處強(qiáng)調(diào)的是發(fā)生在過去的客觀事實，因此應(yīng)用so he was。

　　9.(2014·全國大綱改編)Today there are more airplanes ________(carry) more people than ever before in the skies.

　　答案：carrying　本題考查非謂語動詞。句意：現(xiàn)在天空中比以前有更多的飛機(jī)搭載乘客。分析結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是there be結(jié)構(gòu)，主語more airplanes后接了非謂語動詞;并且，airplanes與carry之間為主謂關(guān)系，故要用現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。

　　10.—Tom's still angry with me.

　　—You are ________(blame). How dare you call him a liar! He's the last person ________(lie).

　　答案：to blame;to lie　sb. be to blame“某人應(yīng)對(過錯、罪行)負(fù)責(zé)”，名詞前有序數(shù)詞，the last等詞修飾時，該名詞后接不定式。
