29. So far we have done a lot to build a low-carbon economy, but it is ________ ideal. We have to work still harder. (2010江蘇卷)

A. next to              B. far from             C. out of                D. due to

【答案】B。

【考點】考查短語介詞的用法。

【解析】對于考查特定語境中詞語用法的考題，最好的方法是代入翻譯法，即將四個選項分別代入句中再翻譯原句，哪個選項使原句最通順，哪個選項就是最佳答案。四個選項的意思分別為：next to意為“在……旁邊”“僅次于”，far from意為“離……很遠”“遠非”，out of意為“在……外”“出于……”，due to意為“因為”“由于”。根據句意，只有B最佳。又如：The way you work is far from efficient. 你的工作方法一點也沒有效率。This question is far from being settled. 這個問題遠沒解決。

30. —Peter, where did you guys go for the summer vacation?

—We ________ busy with our work for months, so we went to the beach to relax ourselves. (2010江蘇卷)

A. were                 B. have been       C. had been         D. will be

【答案】C。

【考點】考查動詞時態的用法。

【解析】根據句意可知，“很忙”在“去海邊放松”之前，而“去海邊放松”用的是一般過去時went，所以“很忙”應用過去完成時had been。

31. —I have tried very hard to find a solution to the problem, but in vain.

—Why not consult with Frank? You see, ________. (2010江蘇卷)

A. great minds think alike

B. two heads are better than one

C. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

D. it’s better to think twice before doing something

【答案】B。

【考點】考查特定語境中諺語的正確選用。

【解析】四個選項均為諺語，A項的意思是“英雄所見略同”，B項的意思是“兩人智慧勝一人”，C項的意思是“雙鳥在林不如一鳥在手”，D項的意思是“最好是三思而后行”。根據句中的why not consult with Frank（為什么不與弗萊克商量一下呢）可知，選B最合適。

32. The newly built café, the walls of ________ are painted light green, is really a peaceful place for us, specially after hard work. (2010江蘇卷)

A. that                   B. it                         C. what                  D. which

【答案】D。

【考點】考查定語從句的用法。

【解析】which引導非限制性定語從句，the walls of which在含義上相當于and the walls of it。又如：Light is the fast thing in the world, the speed of which is 300,000 kilometers per second. 世界上光的速度是最快的，其速度是每秒30萬公里。

33. —Is everyone here?

—Not yet. Look, there ________ the rest of our guests! (2010江蘇卷)

A. come                B. comes               C. is coming         D. are coming

【答案】A。

【考點】考查倒裝句中時態的用法。

【解析】由于以here和there開頭引出的倒裝句不能用于進行時態，所以可以排除C和D；又因為句子主語the rest of our guest為復數，故選A。又如：There comes a time when dying seems preferable to staying alive. 有的時候覺得死了似乎比活著好。

34. George is going to talk about the geography of his country, but I’d rather he ________ more on its culture. (2010江蘇卷)

A. focus                B. focused            C. would focus     D. had focused

【答案】B。

【考點】考查虛擬語氣的用法。

【解析】I’d rather后接從句時，從句謂語要用虛擬語氣，即用一般過去時表示現在或將來，用過去完成時表示過去。又如：I’d rather Jack left on an earlier train. 我寧愿杰克乘前一班火車走。I’d rather he hadn’t told me about it. 我寧愿他沒有告訴我這件事。

35. —I prefer shutting myself in and listening to music all day on Sundays. (2010江蘇卷)

A. where               B. how                   C. when                D. what

【答案】A(http://ask.yygrammar.com/)。

【考點】考查名詞性從句的用法。

【解析】where在此引出表語從句，表示“……的地方”。如：That’s where we differ. 這是我們的分歧所在。That’s where I first met her. 那就是我第一次遇見她的地方。That’s where she usually is at this time of day. 每天這時她通常都在那里。
