注意：

1．不要简单翻译所给要点；2．可适当发挥；3．字数120左右。短文中已写好了的部分，不计入词数。

Dos and Don’ts for the 2008 Olympic Volunteers

It is reported that about 100,000 people will be chosen as volunteers for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. What should the volunteers do and what should they not do?

答 案 与 点 拨

单项选择：

DCBBC　 BDAAA　 BCDCB

16. C。get on well with sb. / sth.　 意为“与某人相处融洽；某事进展顺利”。副词well修饰动词短语。

17 B。raise 作“饲养、栽培、抚养”解时，是及物动词。keep作“饲养(牲畜自用或赚钱)”解。grow作“种植”时，是及物动词，可与plant互换。作“生长”时，是不及物动词。根据题意，只能选B。

18. C。副词too前面可加上程度副词much、far或rather等，后加形容词或副词。too much意为“太多”，单独使用或后加不可数名词。so much后面加名词而不加形容词。highly不能修饰expensive。

19. B。我发现她时，她正在做一个重要的实验，她还没有做完，(所以没让她来这儿)。根据句意：第一空应用过去进行时态，第二空表示的动作还没完成，故用完成时态。

20. B。选项A不合题意，首先排除。若原文Lincoln后的and改为逗号，则选项C也可入选。such as虽然意为“例如”，后面可列举人或事物，但不能放在句尾，也可排除。for example“例如”，后面可举例说明，其位置很灵活，可放在句首、句中或句尾，通常其前后须加逗号。

21. D。此题考查what的特殊用法。A is to B what (或用as) C is to D。“A和B的关系正如C和D的关系”。

22. A。wealth是不可数名词，无复数形式。good后加s才是“财产”的意思。possession作“财产；所有物”时，常用复数形式。

23. D。seldom位于句首时，句子应用倒装语序；“我一直从未遇到过”，故应用现在完成时。determined为形容词，意为“有决心的；坚决的”。

24. B。句意：汽车跑了两公里之后抛锚了。分词的动作先于谓语动作，所以用了完成式作时间状语。

25. C。have sb. doing结构，现在分词working作宾语men的补足语。

26. D。此题考查两词组-there be与dream of。

27. D。 dozen被数词或many ,several 等修饰时，不加s，后面也不用 of 。如： two / many /several dozen pencils。但如果 dozen后有 these, those, them, us等词时 dozen后要接of 。如： two dozen of us,　 three dozen of these eggs。故答案为D。

28. A。分析句意，可知：如果你履行诺言，结果当然会令人满意的。句中不含“继续”之意，所以carry on 不可选；而keep out表示“拒绝”。keep on意为“坚持；继续”。均不符合题意。
