1.When reading a poem, you should read slowly to have given oneself the opportunity to savor the details of its language, form, and sound.
A.to have given oneself
B.to give yourself
C.for oneself to be given
D.for oneself to have
E.so that you had had
答案：B
解析：A選項中oneself使用不恰當，因為句子主語是you（二人稱），另外，have given的使用也錯，to have done表示已經發(fā)生的事情，語義不恰當。B選項to do做目的狀語，正確。CD選項中oneself都使用錯誤。E選項中時態(tài)錯誤，had had是過去完成時，而這里have the opportunity應該是沒有發(fā)生的事情。
2. The economist estimated that workers in our city spend an average of 40 minutes daily traveling to their jobs and 50 minutes returning home.
A.workers in our city spend
B.a work in our city who spends
C.they who work in our city spends
D.those who work in our city spending
E.our city’s workers having spent
答案：A
解析：that引導estimated的賓語從句，A選項spend time doing something是正確用法，A對。B選項沒有主句，只有who引導的從句。C中they spends錯誤。D中缺謂語動詞。E中也缺謂語動詞。這里主句的estimated并不影響that從句的時態(tài)，因為沒有邏輯關系。
3. Neuroscientists have gained new insights into how the brain works by adopting research methods used to study other elaborate systems, this ranges from computer chips to the stock market.
A.systems, this ranges from computer chips to
B.systems with a range from computer chips and
C.systems ranging from computer chips to
D.systems, it ranges over computer chips and
E.systems, they are ranging from computer chips to
答案：C
解析：逗號之前是完整句子，ADE選項run-on。B選項中from...and...錯誤。C正確，ranging from...to做后置定語，修飾systems，等于which range。
4. Most of the objects in the museum’s ceramics collections are porcelain pieces from Germany, although the collection also includes prices from Turkey, Korea, and Japanese ceramics are also represented.
A.and Japanese ceramics are also represented
B.as well as Japanese ceramics
C.and from Japan
D.and Japan
E.and also from Japan
答案：D
解析：三個國家平行，只能選D最簡潔正確。Turkey, Korea, and Japanese。
5. Most states in the United States had enacted child labor laws by 1920, but not until 1938 when the Fair Labor Standards Act established a national minimum working age.
A.but not until 1938 when
B.but it was not until 1938 that
C.not until 1938 did
D.it was, however, not until 1938 that
E.and not until 1938 when
答案：B
解析：逗號之前是完整主句，所以CD選項run-on。A中將not until 1938提前，那么后面需要部分倒裝，后面正確的表達應該是did the Fair Labor Standards Act establish a national minimum working age。B是it was not until 時間 that…的正確強調句使用方法。E與A錯誤一致，而且and應該改為but邏輯更通順。
6. The largest hot desert in the world, the Sahara covers well over three million square miles, and eleven countries are spanned by it.
A.miles, and eleven countries are spanned by it
B.miles and spanning eleven countries
C.mile and spans eleven countries
D.mile, it spans eleven countries
E.mile, with eleven countries spanned by it
答案：C
解析：A選項表達不簡潔，盡量遵循“主語主動一致”。B中and前后不平行，covers和spanning不能平行。C選項用covers和spans平行，簡潔明了，C正確。D選項run-on。E選項表達不夠簡潔和直接。
7. Adopted in 1997, the Kyoto Protocol is what was the international agreement to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of industrialized nations over a five-year period.
A.is what was the international agreement
B.was when it was internationally agreed
C.was where the international agreement was
D.being internationally agreed
E.is the international agreement
答案：E
解析：主語是the Kyoto Protocol，BC選項語義錯誤。A選項中語序錯誤，從句中應該使用陳述句語氣。D選項沒有謂語動詞。E正確。
8. During the 1990s, the number of factory outlet malls greatly increased in the United States, at which brand-name goods are sold at discount prices.
A.During the 1990s, the number of factory outlet malls greatly increased in the United States, at which brand-name goods are sold at discount prices.
B.Factory outlet mall in the United States greatly increased in number during the 1990s, at which brand-name goods are sold at discount prices.
C.Greatly increasing during the 1990s were the number of factory outlet malls in the United States, at which brand-name goods are sold at discount prices.
D.The number of factory outlet malls, at which brand-name goods are sold at discount prices, greatly increased in the United States during the 1990s.
E.In the United States, the number of factory outlet malls greatly increased during the 1990s, at which brand-name goods are sold at discount prices.
答案：D
解析：A選項中which指代the United States，語義明顯不對。B選項中which指1990s，語義也不對，介詞at使用錯誤。C選項是倒裝句，主語是the number of，應該當單數(shù)看，不能用were。D中which指malls使用正確。E選項錯誤與B一樣。
9. With an average depth of about 12,000 feet, the extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold that characterize the deep sea could not be tolerated by shallow-water animals.
A.extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold that characterize the deep sea
B.extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold characterizing the deep sea
C.extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold that are characteristic of the deep sea
D.deep sea is characterized by extremes of darkness, high pressure, and of being so cold that it
E.deep sea is characterized by extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold that
答案：E
解析：逗號前的狀語表明句子主語必須是sea而不能是extremes。ABC選項直接排除。D選項三者平行錯誤。只能選E。
10. Scientists investigating the effects of exercise compared the performance of active mice with sedentary mice on a memory test and found that the active mice did better.
A.the performance of active mice with sedentary mice on a memory test and found
B.the performance on a memory test of active mice with sedentary mice and it was found
C.the performances of active and sedentary mice on a memory test and found
D.how active and sedentary mice performed on a memory test, their finding was
E.active and sedentary mice on how they performed on a memory test, they found
答案：C
解析：主語是scientists，investigating the effects of exercise是后置定語做修飾成分。謂語從此compared。A中用performance于mice比較，比較內容不一致，A錯。B錯誤與A一樣，比較內容問題。C正確，比較的是兩種mice的performances。D選項run-on。E選項run-on。
11. The Dracula orchids, aptly named because their modified leaves resemble flying bats, have central petals that look like small white mushrooms.
A.aptly named because their
B.aptly named because of their
C.aptly named because of having
D.named that because they have
E.named that because of their
答案：A
解析：注意到resemble這個動詞，說明兩個逗號之間應該是從句，所以BCE排除，因為because of是介詞。A正確。D和E的that不能單獨指代名詞
12. Hailed as a remarkable technological advance, Hany Farid developed the software that measures the extent to which images in the media have been digitally altered.
A.Hany Farid developed the software that
B.Hany Farid had developed the software that
C.the software developed by Hany Farid
D.the software, Hany Farid developed it,
E.it was the software developed by Hany Farid that
答案：C
解析：hailed做狀語，主語必須與hail是被動關系，那么主語只能是the software，被認為是最牛的科技進步，ABE直接排除，E雖然是強調句，但是句子主語還是it，was時態(tài)也錯誤。D選項run-on。C選項正確。
13. As a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly in 1946, Eleanor Roosevelt and Andrey Vyshinsky debated the importance of free speech.
A.Eleanor Roosevelt and Andrey Vyshinsky debated
B.Eleanor Roosevelt and Andrey Vyshinsky debated over
C.Eleanor Roosevelt and Andrey Vyshinsky, they debated
D.Eleanor Roosevelt debated Andrey Vyshinsky over
E.Eleanor Roosevelt, who debated Andrey Vyshinsky over
答案：D
解析：注意到狀語是as a delegate，所以句子主語只能是一個人，ABC直接排除。E選項沒有主句，E錯。D正確。
14. Some scientists believe that the species known as White’s tree frog is able to control the amount of water that is evaporated through their skin, enabling them to control their body temperature.
A.their skin, enabling them to control their body temperature
B.their skin, which enables them to control their body temperature
C.its skin, this enables it to control its body temperature
D.its skin and that its body temperature being controlled in this way
E.its skin and thus can control its body temperature
答案：E
解析：注意到青蛙用的是frog單數(shù)，所以AB錯誤。C選項兩個主語而且this不能單獨指名詞做主語賓語。D選項and之后如果是that的話，那么之后應該是完整句子，而且being controlled表示正在被控制語義也不對。E是正確選項。
