典型例题

　　例1 “China Daily” is _______ a newspaper. It helps greatly to improve our English.
　　A. no more than　　　　B. not more than
　　C. more than　　　　　　D. not less than
　　分析：短语more than意为极其，不仅仅是，不只是，相当于not only。选项A中no more than 意为只不过是，仅仅有；选项B中not more than 指数量上不多于，不超过；选项D中not less than 指数量不少于。正确答案是C。

　　例2 The real danger _____ in the fact ______ you don’t understand yourself.
　　A. lies…which　　B. lays…that　　C. lies…/　　D. lies…that
　　分析：短语动词lie in意为在于，fact后接从句说明其内容，由that引导，是同位语从句。that不可省略。选项A中lies…which 中which 错误，应用that，选项B中lays…that中lay(vt. )意为放，铺设等；选项C中lies…后面不用that，也不对，因同位语从句中that 不可省略。正确答案是D。

　　例3 We made the suggestion that he _________ his work.
　　A. continues　　B. continue　　C. continued　　D. had continued
　　分析：因为suggestion, order, requirement 等后面加that引起同位语从句或表语从句时，从句谓语由should + 动词原形，should 可省略。选项A中continues 是一般现在时态，选项C中continued 是一般过去时态，D中had continued 是过去完成时态，都不正确。正确答案是B。

　　例4 We could not obtain any exact information ________ where she was.
　　A. as for　　B. as to　　C. as if　　D. as it was
　　分析：as to作“关于”解，后面可接从句，也可接名词和带关系代词、关系副词的不定式。选项A、C、D在这里都不能用，都不合题义。正确答案是B。

　　例5 It's a fine day. Let's go fishing,_________?
　　A. won’t we　　B. doesn’t she　　C. don’t we　　D. shall we
　　分析：Let's…的反意问句为shall we?，Let us…的反意问句则为will you? 答案选D。

　　例6 It is wise to have some money _________ for old age.
　　A. put away　　B. kept up　　C .given away　　D .lay up
　　分析：put away符合本句话的意思，意为“储存，积蓄”，其中put 为过去分词；而B项keep up及C项give away则没有此意。D项lay up有“储蓄”之意，但不是被动形式，故不符合句子要求。答案选A。
