六、作文(1題)66.Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopic"HowIFinanceMyCollegeEducation".Youshouldwriteatleast120words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow：1.上大學(xué)的費(fèi)用（tuitionandfees.可以通過多種途徑解決；2.哪種途徑適合于我（說明理由）。

參考答案

1.B解析：cuts“裁減”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱點(diǎn)”；imports“進(jìn)口”，故正確選項(xiàng)為B。

2.B解析：theeducationsystem是主語，謂語動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)；thedesiredresults意為“期望的結(jié)果”。

3.A解析：此題考查反意疑問句的用法。主句為祈使句，因此其反意疑問句用willyou。

4.C解析：notonly…butalso連接主語時，謂語動詞根據(jù)就近原則由butalso后的成分來決定。TomandMary是兩個人，所以動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

5.B解析：本題考查動詞固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介詞of，表示剝奪什么。

6.D

7.C解析：句子的前半部分是主語從句，主語從句中的謂語動詞時態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)句意而定。

8.D

9.A解析：根據(jù)上文提到“findone”，故下文中也應(yīng)填one，表示泛指。

10.D

11.D

12.A

13.C

14.D解析：forgetdoingsth．忘了已做過某事。注意區(qū)別forgettodosth。忘了而沒有做某事。

15.D解析：本題測試形容詞辨析。四個選項(xiàng)的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個細(xì)節(jié)來描述，而我卻認(rèn)為它是這個計(jì)劃中最重要的部分。

16.C

17.A本題考查祈使句型：

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：Mary，到這里來，其余的人待在原處。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷出這是個祈使句。所以要用動詞原形開頭。Mary在句中不是

主語，而是“呼語”。

18.C解析：本題考查倒裝虛擬語氣用法。本句是表示與將來事實(shí)相反，所以從句用wereto形式。句意為：如果他今天出發(fā)的話，他就會在星期五以前到達(dá)那里。

19.C

20.B

21.B

28.我們關(guān)注的是充分開發(fā)所有學(xué)生的各項(xiàng)能力，而不僅僅是發(fā)展他們的學(xué)習(xí)能力。

29.貧困線是指人們所需要的用以維持可接受的生活水準(zhǔn)的最低收入。收入低于貧困線以下的人們被視為窮人。

30.旅游業(yè)過旺也可能成為問題。如果旅游業(yè)發(fā)展過快人們必須放棄其它工作來從事旅游業(yè)。旅游業(yè)過旺也可能成為問題。如果旅游業(yè)發(fā)展過快，人們必須放棄其它工作來從事旅游業(yè)。
