大学英语每日一练（3-20）

21.There is no doubt ________ Catherine is fond of dancing, for she always practices it on weekends.

A. whether

B. if

C. that

D. which

21.【答案】C。解析：考查同位语从句，句意：毫无疑问Catherine喜欢跳舞，因为她总是在周末练舞。分析句子的结构可知，逗号之后为“for”引导的原因状语从句，逗号之前是主句，主句中结构为"There is no doubt that..."意为"毫无疑问……"，连词"that"引导同位语从句解释说明名词"doubt"的具体内容，同位语从句中句子结构和意思已完整，"that"无意义也不充当成分，只起连接词的作用.故C为正确答案。

22.You have seen the girl ________ sister is a Chinese teacher.

A. whom

B. of whom

C. whose

D. of which

22.【答案】C。解析：此句先行词为the girl，定语从句为sister is a Chinese teacher，二者构成的完整句为The girl’s sister is a Chinese teacher.先行词的’s所有格构成的所属关系结构在从句中作定语。故选C。

23.He found it increasingly difficult to read, ______ his eyesight was beginning to fail.

A. and

B. for

C. but

D. or

23.【答案】B。解析：此题考查原因状语从句。“his eyesight was beginning to fail”是“he found it increasingly difficult to read”的原因，因此本题应选用可以表示原因的连词for引导原因状语从句。故选B。

24. If it ______ for his invitation the other day, I should not be here now.

A. had not been

B. should not be

C.were not to be

D.should not have been

24.【答案】A。该句是错综时间虚拟条件句。主句“I should not be here now.”表达的是与现在事实相反的情况;意为：现在我就不会在这里了;而根据if从句中表示过去的时间状语“the other day前些日子”可知，此处表达的应该是与过去事实相反的情况，所以要使用过去完成时;故选A。

25.It ______ Mike and Mary who helped the old man several days ago.

A. was

B. are

C. were

D. had been

25.【答案】A。解析：本题考查的是强调句式。强调句式由“It is/was + 被强调成分+that/who...”构成。由于句中的动作是发生在过去，故选A。

26.If you don’t go, neither ______.

A. shall I

B. do I

C. I do

D. I shall

26.【答案】A。解析：本题考查的是倒装句。句意是：如果你不去，那么我也不去。Neither位于句首，句子部分倒装，排除C和D选项。而这是对将来事情的阐述，所以选择A选项。

27.He has never ridden a horse before, ______?

A. does he

B. has he

C. hasn’t he

D. doesn’t he

27【答案】B。此题考察反义疑问句，前面有否定词，所以后面要用肯定形式提问。前面是完成时，所以提问要用has，故选B。

—______ Exciting news it was!

A.What an

B.What a

C.What

D.How

28.【答案】C。本题考查感叹句，中心词是news名词且不可数，故选C。what +形容词+不可数名词或可数名词复数+主语+谓语!故选C。

29.我们无论怎样赞美他的工作，都不过分。

A.We should not praise him very much for his work.

B.We must not praise him very much for his work.

C.We may not praise him too much for his work.

D.We cannot praise him too much for his work.

29.【答案】D。解析：can not ... too much短语，意为再……也不为过，故选D。

30. It is no good simply keeping him from doing what he wants to.

A.一直让他随心所欲，这种做法真是太恶劣了。

B.轻易地阻止他做自己想做的事起不到丝毫作用。

C.一直让他随心所欲这种做法虽容易，却一点都不好。

D.仅仅只是阻止他做自己想做的事，一点用处也没有。

30.【解析】D。it is no good doing sth.，意为“做某事不好”，另一个结构是keep sb. from doing sth.，意为“阻止某人做某事”。此外simply在此处意为“仅仅”，与simple(简单的，轻易的)意义有出入。基于以上分析可知，四个选项中选项D的翻译最贴近原意。选项B未能结合上下文，错将simply译为“轻易地”，因而不妥;选项A错将keep sb. from sth. 理解为keep sb. doing sth.将其译为“一直让他……”同时该选项还简单地按字面意思将no good译为“恶劣”。故不及选项B;选项C的译文则是完全脱离了原句的句法结构，不过是对原文中个别单词意思的随意组合，最为不妥。故选D。
