如何準備成人高考學位英語考試

類別：閱讀 來源：美聯英語學習網

經過堅持不懈的努力，我通過自考走到現在，比一般的本科生都要辛苦。本身英語比較差，差點就栽在了成人高考學位英語考試中。我想談談我的經驗，主要是準備成人高考學位英語考試所得出來的一些心得和技巧，希望能夠對有需要的同志們有幫助。

成人高考學位英語考試主要有四部分內容，我個人在復習考試的時候認為最主要是詞匯。出來工作這么多年了，連漢語詞匯都慢慢在消減，何況英語單詞，加之生活的雜事搞得自己記憶力已經衰退。詞匯實在是令人頭疼，但萬萬不能灰心，要注意，詞匯的考察有一定的重點，并不是所有的詞匯都會考察。我們只需要抓住關鍵詞匯即可。

再者就是語法的考察。需要注意以下幾點時態：完成時態一般是正確答案語氣：虛擬語氣也是一樣和完成時態有關的選項是正確答案，同時如果選項中出現動詞原形be或者not be，那他一定是正確答案；從句：如果考察名詞性從句，那就選what，如果考察定語從句要看里面缺少什么句子成分；注意定語從句和同謂語從句的區別；成人高考學位英語在語法方面的考察除此之外還有關于非謂語動詞的，要記清楚它的難分點如非謂語動詞作狀語其邏輯主語是主句主語；逗號不能連接兩個句子等。

還有閱讀理解，在解答時一定要區分好題型，針對題型要學會利用不同的方法，同時要注意閱讀中的重點句子：段首句、因果句、轉折句、列舉句。最后就是完型填空：根據解答完形填空試題需要的信息量，完形填空試題可以分為兩類：一根據試題所在的句子就能解答如固定搭配題；二根據試題所在句子的上文和下文進行解答如邏輯銜接題。英語一直不是我的強項，但是經過日夜做題，總結經驗，發現其實只要找到方法和感覺、吃透考試的重難點，就能通過成人高考學位英語考試。作為一個過來人，我覺得好不容易走到最后，如果因為英語這一攔路虎而不能拿到學位證，那會是一輩子都悔恨的事。

【模版例文】How I Overcame Difficulties in Learning English（學習英語的困難）Like many other English learners, I found a lot of difficulties in learning English.Firstly, I found it difficult to understand what I read because most English words have more than one meaning.Besides, I found it difficult to write idiomatic English or translate Chinese into idiomatic English.Finally, my oral English was weak because I had no opportunity to communicate with native English speakers.Although I often read aloud, this didn't prove to be an effective way to improve my spoken English.But I didn't lose heart in overcoming these obstacles.I tackled English vocabulary in two ways.First, I tried to understand and memorize the specific meaning of a word in its context.Second, I enlarge my vocabulary by breaking words up into roots and affixes and memorize them inconnection with the words of the same roots or affixes.To overcome Chinese English, I tried to think in English directly.Although I haven’t had any opportunity to communicate with native speakers, I have tried to improve my spoken English by listening to English broadcasts and writing English compositions.These experiences have turned out to be effective.I am feeling very confident in myself while sitting here for passing my degree English today.情景應用（書信類文章：感謝信，邀請函，求職信）【寫作模版2】

Good Study Habits Study habits play a decisive role in the effect of learning. It is,therefore,important that we should form a good habit when we study.

According to study advisers,there are some basic ways for learning well. Frequent revision,for example,is one of them. It is not a quick way of learning well,of course,however,it does prove effective in the long run. Also,to do enough preparations before class helps a lot.

Besides,there is another way of learning,that is,learning through communicating. Learning will be more efficient if you put what you have learned or are learning into practice. That s why in recent years “Communicative Method” has been strongly recommended in schools in China.

The Importance of Self-confidence Self-confidence is very important to our life.As a wise man once said，“If you have no confidence in yourself，you are twice defeated in the race of life.With confidence，you have won even before you have started.”

If you are full of self-confidence，your creativeness，your enthusiasm will all be aroused，and you will overcome difficulties.As a result，your dreams will come true.On the contrary，if you have no confidence in yourself，there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you.But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself.You should know both your weaknesses and strengths.Only after this can you be well in doing great things.

Try something you’ve never done before.Just taking on a challenge，whether you succeed or not，can increase your confidence.In a word，self-confidence is greatly important to our success.

學位英語考試練習題

（五）一、閱讀理解：

（一）Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives.If you are thing of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog.But in part the decision depends on common sense.Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks.So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics.You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs through out its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets.Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master.If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs.They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.1.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

A.You can always get help from the specialists.B.It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C.You should decide what kind of dog you want.D.Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.2.What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?

A.The color of the dog.B.The price of the dog.C.Whether the dog will fit the environment.D.Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.3.Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a car?

A.It must be trained so that it won’t bite.B.It demands more food and space.C.It needs more love and care.D.It must be looked after carefully.4.Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?

A.It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B.They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C.They are less likely to run away.D.It’s esier for them to form a relationship with their masters.5.The word “affection”(Line 11)means _____.A.love

B.effect

C.tie

D.relationship 難點：

1． Be likely to do sth: 可能干某事。也可用It is likely that……

2.devote……to: to 在這里是介詞，其后要接名詞或相當于名詞的詞或詞組。如：She devotes herself to teaching children.3.demanding: 需要關愛和照顧的。

答案：

1.B 考點：這是一道判斷理解題，可用排除法。

解析：從文章第二、三、五句話，我們可知，A、C、D都符合原文的說法。B說的是“在挑選狗的時候，常識性的東西最重要”。而原文第四句話卻說“但是，部分決定取決于常識”，并非是最要的。所以B不符合原文，是正確的答案。

2.C 考點：這是一道細節題，可用排除法。

解析：文章建議在挑選狗時，應該考慮狗的大小，性格，是否能適應主人提供的環境，而并未提到A：狗的顏色，B：狗的性格，D：是否可以與家里其他寵物融洽相處。所以D正確。

3.C 考點：這是一道理解題。

解析：從這句話：a dog is loyal to master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.我們可知，狗比貓更需用愛護和照顧。所以，C是正確答案。

4.D 考點：這是一道理解題。

解析：本題問的是為什么建議在狗小于三個月時購買？原文說“狗在6周到8周大的時候，可以將它的感情從它母親轉到主人身上。如果狗在三個多月大時還不能與人產生感情，那么，他們的感情將永遠是與狗一起了。他們很可能過于害羞而不能成為好的寵物。”所以：D這樣更容易使狗與它的主人建立感情，是答案。

5.A 考點：這是一道詞匯題。

解析：affection在這里是喜愛的意思。所以A是正確的答案。

（二）The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead.There is more life in it now than there ever was.But it seems that “village life” is dead.Gone for ever.It began to decline about a hundred years ago.When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was.There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century.It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it.It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day.It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.” It is just life, and a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning;or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups.Obviously there children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.1.By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that _____.A.those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrong B.the two statements are against each other C.“village life” today is rather uninteresting

D.“village life” today is no longer like what it used to be

2.It was _____ that “village life” began to take a sharp turn.3 A.about a century ago B.during the two world wars C.with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village D.only recently

3.As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _____.A.lived a simpler life than villagers today B.knew fewer people than villagers today C.found it difficult to enjoy themselves D.liked to wash themselves with cold water

4.The expression “...there is no point whatever in talking about...” in paragraph 3 means that _____.A.there is no end to the talking about...B.it is harmful to talk about...C.it is not meaningless to talk about...D.there is no reason for talking about...5.From the passage we can see that the writer’s attitude toward “village life” is ____

A.positive

B.negative

C.neutral

D.unclear 【難點】

1.nothing but...: 除了，僅僅 2.the present century: 本世紀 3.tied to the home: 被束縛在家 4.reveal: 展現，顯露

5.take sth.For granted: 認為某事當然，如，We mist not take it for granted that...: 我們決不可想當然地認為 …… 6.social welfare: 社會福利 【答案】 1.D 考點：這是一道理解判斷題。

解析：本文第二段對過去和現在的農村生活進行對比，由此得出現在的農村生活已經不再像過去的農村生活那樣了。所以本題正確答案應該是D。而不是A：那些談論農村已經不存在的年輕人是錯誤的，B：農村和農村生活相反，C：今天的農村生活很乏味。

2.C 考點：這是一道細節題。

解析：本題問的是從什么時候起，農村生活有了一個轉折點。從文章第三段第四句話：“電和機動車輛在拉近農村生活和城市生活的距離方面起著決定性的作用”，可知選項C 正確。

3.A

考點：這是一道判斷題。

解析：第二段最后四句話講述的是：過去的村子里的每一個人都相互了解;不必走很遠就可以娛樂;家庭主婦們每天都呆在家里;為了節省煤和燈油，人們很早就睡了。由此，我們可知，選項A是正確答案。

4.D 考點：這是一道詞匯理解題

解析：point 在這里可以理解成“有道理，有理由”所以，答案應該是D。

5． C 考點：這是一道理解判斷題。

解析：作者在文章中只講農村生活的變化，并未對農村生活進行評價，所以作者的觀點是中立的。因此答案是C。

A Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine＂It will never happen to me＂.(1)Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.B Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.(2)It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.(3)To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.C Todays’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.(4)So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.(5)D Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.(6)In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child---things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains: He is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.(7)E Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it.(8)And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.F Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events.But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.(9)As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals(丑聞)or crimes,(10)for instance, the Watergate Affair.The newspapers drew the attention of the publi 7 c to the fears of the Vietnam War.G Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles lost and won, kings of rulers overthrown of killed-took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate.Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.(11)H Actually, the world’s birth rate is falling.But so is death rate, as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than before.(12)Such advances have also reduced baby death rate.Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century.(13)Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population? I The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability.If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy.Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理學).(14)J Then came the First World War and the Second World War.After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.(15)The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted.Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike.Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.”(16)It is just life, and that a better life.英譯漢答案：

１． 盡管數據顯示犯罪率在不斷增長，但人們還是太過自信：我壓根兒就不會受害．

２． 在人們說慌的時候，通過調查他們的一些明顯的不重要行為方式，來研究人們說慌時的行為變化． ３． 調查發現他們在同一時間坐著時要比平時愛在椅子上挪動．

４． 現在富裕的父母們也許意識到他們的財富對于孩子來說有相當程度的負作用． ５． 因此他們首要考慮的是確保家人在精神上與其物質生活一樣地富有． ６． 孩子在以后的生活中被給予這么多而不做以任何回報是不可能的．

７． 但是小孩子也有他自己的苦惱: 不能自由地做自己想要做的事兒，而大人還總是告訴他不要做什么，甚至做錯事兒了還要受批評．

８． 每個國家人們習慣于從自身出發，來贊賞與自己生活方式相近的國家，而批駁生活習慣與之不同的國家．

９． 通常，美國報紙試圖使其娛樂與新聞做得一樣好，因為他們不得不與電視相競爭．

１０．但是美國報紙一般還是被認可的，因為它一方面很好的為政府服務，另一方面它也不止一次地勇敢地揭露政府丑聞或犯罪．

１１．現在我們能夠通過報紙讀到當天發生在遙遠的國家的重要事情．

１２．實事上，世界人口的出生率正在下降．而死亡率也是如此，這是因為先進的醫藥條件為人們能夠延長壽命提供了可能．

１３．除非人口增長下降，否則一個世紀內世界人口將達到１２０億．

１４．因此，在正確理解消費者心理的基礎之上出現了維護穩定價格的商務政策． １５．每次世界大戰之后，新的思想，新的看法，新的商業和職業都展現給老百姓．

１６．隨著科學技術的高端發展以及面向所有社會成員的高福利政策的實施，現再談論“農村生活”已變得毫無意義了。．

Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end.“this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said.“it was quite a struggle, really, for Cherie.”

The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton.Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m.on Saturday.The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn.He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years.News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year.After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.Cherie Blair, a Queens Counsel barrister, worked right up until the baby’s birth.And the often thorny issue of combining career and family was at the center of her work.On Tuesday, Mrs.Blair was at work in the High Court, challenging her husband’s government over parental leave.1.Why does the writer mean by “baby alert” IN PARAGRAPH 2?

Part IV Cloze

When we want to 1 other people what we think, we can do it not only with the help of words, but also in many 2 ways.For example, we sometimes move our heads 3

when we want to say “yes”, and we move our heads 4 when we want to say “no”.People who can 5 hear 5 speak talk to each other with the help of their fingers.People who do not understand each other’s language have to do the same.The following story shows 6 they sometimes do it.7 English man who could not speak Italian was 8 traveling in Italy.One day he entered a restaurant and sat 9 a table.When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his month, 10 his fingers into it, 11 them out again and moved his lips.In the way he meant to say, “ 12 me something to eat.” The waiter soon brought him 13 tea.The Englishman 14 his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea.So he took it 15 and brought him 16

coffee.The Englishman was angry.He was just going to leave the restaurant 17

答案： 1．B 考點： 這是一個細節詢問題。

解析： 我們從原文第三段和倒數第四段可知，去年布萊爾夫人懷孕的消息一傳開，英國人感到非常吃驚：她45歲才生下這個小孩，這個年紀生小孩是很危險的年齡。英國人很擔心他們的首相夫人能否順利生產。因此，B最符合原義。

2． C

考點：這是一個判斷題；問的是以下哪一個有關這個嬰兒的說法是正確的。

解析：從前四段我們可以看出，布萊爾夫人剛生下一個男孩；這個男孩是布萊爾夫妻的第四個孩子，他重六磅，12盎司。孩子出生以后，由父母帶回唐寧街十號。由此我們可以得知，這個孩子不是在唐寧街十號出生的。故C不符合原文。

3． C

考點：這是一個細節分析題；問的是布萊爾夫人是一個怎么樣的人。

解析：該題的信息出現在文章最后兩段。從該部分我們可以得知，布萊爾夫人是一名律師，她的孩子出生前一直在堅持工作，星期二那天，她正在高等法庭工作，對她丈夫的產假制度提出了挑戰。由此我們可以看出，布萊爾夫是一位非常堅強的女性。所以，本題的答案為C。

4． B

考點：這是一個詞匯題；考的是如何通過上下文判斷詞義。

解析：該詞所在的句子出現在倒數第二段里，這句話的意思是解決好事業和家庭的關系經常是她工作的焦點。事業和家庭之間的關系對她來說是一個棘手的問題；由此我們可以得知，該詞的意思是困難的，棘手 7 的。這個詞的意思還可以從該詞的詞根判斷出來。我們都知道，“thorny”的意思是“荊棘”，通過構詞法我們可以知道，n + y構成了這個詞的形容詞形式。由此也可知道，該詞的詞義是“棘手的”。

5． D

考點：這是一個主旨題；考的是文章的題目。

解析：本文開頭直接提到首相府邸新嬰兒的出生。然后對母子的情況作了簡要的報告。整篇文章都是對布萊爾夫人生小孩的報道，所以，最符合原文的題目應該是D。

６．Ｂ

get sb to do sth.意為＂讓某人做．．．．．．＂．

７． C

where = in which, “where…., there are….” 指＂哪兒有．．．，就有．．．＂．

在本句中，where引導地點狀語．

８． B

distinguish right from wrong 的意思是“分清是非”，是固定搭配。所以B是正確答案。A 的意思是“感覺、覺察”，C 的意思是“看到、發現”，D的意思是“觀察”均不符合題意。

9． C would rather +句子（過去時）（虛擬語氣）：I’d rather you didn’t tell anyone what I said.你最好別告訴任何人我所說的話。I’d rather you came with me.你還是和我一起來吧。

10.B

except 和except for 都是介詞，后面接短語。而except that和except when后面接賓語從句。that在從句中只起連接作用。而when在從句中做狀語。如：She knew nothing about his journey except that he was likely to be away for three months.關于他們的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要離開三個月。（that 在賓語從句中只起連接作用）He was a man of fine character in all points except that he was rather timid.他在各方面都很好，除了有點膽小。而本句要選擇except when，因為when 在從句中做狀語。

11.C

“look into ”的意思是“調查”，本句的意思是“我保證一到那就調查這件事情”。“look for”：尋找。Will you help me look for my gloves? 你能幫我尋找我的手套嗎？look in:朝里面看。I looked in my purse and discovered I’d only got a five-pound note.我朝錢包里一看，發現只有一張五英鎊的鈔票。look after: 照顧、照看。He has looked after his elderly parents for many years.他照料年邁的父母已經多年了。

12.D

make out 有“辨認出、聽出”的意思。又如：It was difficult to make out what was said over the loudspeaker in the square.很難聽清楚廣場上的擴音喇叭里在說什么。make for: 走向，朝…前進。It’s late, we’d better make for home.時間不早了，我們最好趕快回家。Make for the beach!向海灘前進！make sure: 設法保證。He went round making sure that all the windows were closed.他巡視了一遍，看看所有的窗戶是否都已關上。make over: 翻新、改造。The house has been made over into a school.房屋已經改成一所學校。Human nature can’t be made over so easily.人性并非那么容易改變的。

13.B

這句話的意思是：我到處找食用油，但是一點也沒有找到．注意little 一點，一些；雖然也用于修飾不可數名詞，但是表達否定含義．它前面有一個轉折詞but，說明后句與前句的關系，結果應該是與找油的目的相反的含義，找了，但是沒有找到．所以用Ｂ．

14.A

我們剛坐下就發現是該走的時間了．no sooner……than……： 一……就…… 固定結構，引起句子倒裝．這種形式會經常考到．

15.B

繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了．現在分詞形式做伴隨狀語．

16.A by far強調比較級或最高級，在強調比較級時，比較級前也要用the.17.D feel like doing sth.意為＂想做某事＂．

18.A

你將很快適應這里的氣候，然后氣溫的變化就不會影響你了．注意：be used to sth/doing sth 和 get used to sth./doint sth.都表示＂習慣于．．．．．．＂

19.B

except for “除了．．．外”，前后不屬于同一性質，常用來表示可惜或者美中不足的語氣，例如，本題前半部分講到的是＂你的寫作發好＂，而后半部分講到＂一些拼寫錯誤＂，前后顯然不屬于同一性質；except是＂除了．．．之外＂，前后屬于同一性質；besides, in addition to 都指＂除了．．．，還有．．．＂．

20.D

新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受．新思想是被接受的，所以要用被動形式，故Ｄ選項正確．

21． C

我哥哥在加利福尼亞度假，我真希望她在這兒，這樣他就能幫我修我的車了。Wish后面用虛擬語氣，與現在事實相反，用一般過去式。

22． B

應改為： going，介詞后面的動詞用其ing形式，為伴隨情況。

23． C

應把not去掉。因為hardly這個單詞本身就含有否定的意義。

24． A

應改為：whatever.不管一個人的社會角色是什么，記著努力工作和為人民服務都是應該的。

25． D

在美國，男女關系非常處得非常近甚至于長期居住在一起，但是也無意考慮結婚。這里marry是及物動詞，后面沒有接賓語.故D改為：to be married.26． A

這些學生希望被提供工作機會，應該用被動語態。故A項應改為to be offered.27． C

應改為：gets used.28． B

這句話是說： 不止一次地，我發現自己盡管提前已經準備了但到時個還是懷疑自己的決定。這里doubt不能用原形，應改為doubting.形式：

found sb doing…….29． B criticize sb for(doing)sth..因（做）某事而批評某人。

30． C

由于錯過了最后一班車，Ralph別無選擇，只好打出租車回家盡管他并不贊成這樣的辦法。注意這句話的轉折關系，C項中的：and 應改為but.這個：had no alternative but to do…… 除了做……別無選擇。

完形填空題：

1．C 告訴某人某事用: tell sb sth.2．

C 也用許多其它的方法 in many other ways.這里A項顯然不對，B項中another指的是兩者之中的另一個，而這里所表達的方法顯然不止兩種。D項中others其余的，前面要帶the一起使用：the others 其余的，后面不再跟名詞。

3．C

這里要表達的是：比如，有時當我們想說“是”的時候就點頭，move our heads up and down.4．

D

當我們想說“不”的時候就搖頭，move our heads from side to side.5．

D

有些既不能聽也不能與別人交談的人中只能借助他們的手指來獲得幫助。Neither……nor……

既不……也不…….6．

A

這句話是說，接下來的故事就表現出了他們在這種情況下是怎么樣做的。所以要用how來引導這個方式狀語從句。

7．B

一個不會說意大利語的英國人曾在意大利旅游。通過后面的謂語動詞was可以肯定人稱是單數，顯然，用an，因為后面English 是以元音字母開頭的。

8．D

曾經，用once.其它選項代入句子不通。

9．B

一天他走進一家餐館在一張桌子旁邊坐下。在桌子旁邊坐，用介詞at.10．C

put……into…… 把……放進…….11．A

take……out…… 把……取出…….12．A Bring me something to eat.給我些吃的，這里bring是帶來的意思。而take則表達拿去的意思。C，D顯然不合題意。

13．C a cup of tea 一杯荼。

14．A

根據后面的：the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea.我們知道他是對服務員的做法表示否定，這時他只能是搖頭，而不可能是點頭。所以用shook his head.15．B

把……拿走

take……away;根據前后語意可知，服務員知道他不是想要一杯荼于是就把荼端走了。

16．B

承接上句，于是給他帶來了一些咖啡。不能用很多，也不能用很少，只是表達給他帶來些咖啡 10 而已。

17．A

這個英國人生氣了。他正要離開的時候另一個服務員進來了。顯然，時間狀語從句由when來引導。

18．C

這個英國人一看到這個服務員就把手放到胃部。

Put……on……

把……放在…上面

19．B

這就足夠了。很快一大盤面包和肉就放到了桌子上。In a few minutes 很快，幾分鐘之內。

20．D

吃的東西顯然要放在桌子上，不是下面，也不是一邊。用on table.
