8. According to an old story,a farmer once found that a bag of corn had been stolen from his house.He went to the judge and told him about the loss.The judge ordered all the people of the farm to come before him.He took a number of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each man.He then said,“Come before me again tomorrow.I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief is one inch longer than the others.” The thief was afraid of being found out,and so he cut an inch off his stick.The next day the thief’s stick was found to be one inch shorter than any of the others.In this way the thief was found out,and at once taken to prison.

—No,        . A.I’d rather not       B.I’d rather you not

C.I’d rather you didn’t      D.I’d like not to

解析:本题考查情景交流用语。I’d rather not是I’d rather not open the window的省略句,意思是“我不愿开窗”。I’d rather后不跟you not结构,B项语法不正确。I’d rather后可跟从句,从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时态,所以选项C为正确答案。

答案:C

25.I would rather you            with us yesterday,but you left.

A.had stayed        B.stay

C.stayed         D.have stayed

解析:解此题的关键是would rather后接从句,从句用虚拟语气,用过去完成时表示过去要做的事,又根据信息词yesterday进一步说明选项A是正确的。

答案:A

C.to swim;swimming      D.swimming;swimming

解析:本题考查动名词与不定式的比较。前者表示抽象、笼统的概念,后者多指具体的某次形式,故第一空使用动名词,第二空使用不定式。

答案:B

35.—The boss will offer me a pay rise.

—Pigs might fly! You are day-dreaming.You’re lucky enough not to have been fired.
