1.[答案]D
[译文]我们所有人都建议尽快把新型机器投入使用。
[答案解析]proposed 后的宾语从句用should+动词原形的虚拟语气,should可省略。本题中referred to 作the new type of machine 的定语,(should)be put才是从句的真正谓语。be put into use意为“将...投入使用”。
2.[答案]B
[译文]可能战后最重大的趋势就是美国城市的分散化,当大规模高速公路建设项目容许了更大的程度地发展郊区,这个现象更被促进了。
[答案解析]考查同位语结构,a phenomenon是the decentralization of cities throughout the Unite States的同位语。A中and为连词,后面应该连接一个完整的句子;C中语序混乱;D中of which作为借此宾语,后面应该接完整句子。
3.[答案]A
[译文]“组里怎么改进讨论的?”“组里的成员都参加,并且每个人负责一次会议”。
[答案解析]该题考查非谓语动词现在分词独立结构作状语的用法。该句中的主语并非分词的主语,因此分词有自己的主语形式each member,与其逻辑谓语have之间为主动关系,并且动作行为无时间先后关系的限制。
4.[答案]A
[译文]总裁许诺董事会成员,他将把谈判的进展情况告诉大家。
[答案解析]informed用在句中可构成keep sb informed of sth(某人被告知某事)。句中的the members 与inform是被动关系。
5.[答案]D
[译文]孩子们把时间花在与电视任务的单向交流上,这样无疑会影响到他们与真实生活中的人们的交际。
[答案解析]本题考查定语从句的用法。本句中affect是谓语,the children ......television people 是定语从句修饰hours,根据从句的结构可以看出spend缺宾语,故也就是前面的hours。先行词在从句中作宾语,引导词可以用which或that或不填。
