27. Nowadays, a large number of women, especially those from the countryside,________ in the clothing industry.

A. is working　　　　 B. works

C. work　　　　　 D. worked

[解析]选C。考查主谓一致。主语是a large number of women为复数形式，因此不用A、B两项。由句中时间状语nowadays(现在)可知不用过去时态，故选C项。

26. That hot summer night, just as Rebecca said some days before,________ .

A. came down a heavy rain

B. a heavy rain came down

C. did a heavy rain come down

D. down came a heavy rain

[解析]选D。考查倒装。当表示动作方向的副词out, in, down, away放在句首时，谓语动词又很短，且主语又是一个名词短语，要用全部倒装。

25. -Your mother becomes more and more forgetful.

-Yes. She searched for her cellphone for a whole day last Sunday but it_____ in her coat pocket the next day.

A. turned out　　　　 B. turned on

C. turned over　　　　 D. turned up

[解析]选D。考查动词短语。turn out结果是；turn on打开(开关)；turn over翻转；turn up出现，把音量调大。后句句意：上星期天她找手机找了一整天，可第二天手机却出现在她上衣口袋里。

24. After the competition, I saw a smile spread______ her beautiful face.

A. over　　　　　　　　 B. through

C. across　　　　 D. in

[解析]选C。考查介词。句意：比赛后，我看到笑容在她美丽的脸上展开。over“在……上方”；through“通过”，强调从物体的空间穿过；across“遍布，遍及，从面上经过”; in“在……里”。只有across符合语义。

23.　 The financial crisis and the suffering______ has caused have a great influence on the whole world.

1. they　　　　　　 B. which　　　　　 C. it　　　　　 D. what

[解析]选C。考查代词。句意：金融危机及它带来的痛苦对全世界造成了重大影响。定语从句中缺少主语，先行词在从句中作宾语，因此可以不用关系代词，而金融危机是单数，不用they。

22. He was reported______　 under the ruins for up to 4 days.

A. burying　　　　　　　　　　 B. buried

C. to have been buried　　　　　 D. to be buried

[解析]选C。考查非谓语动词。句意为：据报道，他被埋在废墟下长达4天。sb. /sth.　 be said/believed/reported+不定式的相应形式，此处不定式动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前，因此用不定式的完成式。

21. By this time tomorrow we_______ this machine.

A. have repaired　　 B. shall have repaired

C. will repair　　　　 D. are going to repair

[解析]选B。考查时态。句意：到明天这个时候我们将已经修好了这台机器。由by时间状语可知应用完成时，又由tomorrow可知应用将来时。
