taste Part II Vocabulary and Structure

Section A

21. personality 22. Evidently 23.sensitive 24. anxiety 25. favorable 26. original 27. involving 28. incapable 29. imaginable 30. encouraged Section B

31. A. 本题考查过去分词的用法。本题主句的主语是the lake scenery，动词see 与

这个主语之间应该是一种被动的关系，所以应该用过去分词形式,表示被动。 (注意：不定式用于句首，只能表示目的，因此不能使用to see)

32. B. 本题考查虚拟语气中从句省略if的用法。主句动词使用了虚拟语气could

have finished the assignment by now，含义是 “你现在本可以完成任务”，因而前面需要一个表示过去的非真实条件句，可以使用if it had not been for。B选项是省略了if后的条件句的形式，因此为正确选项。此处for表示因为。本题还可以填入But for。

33. A. 词义辨析题。considerate 意为“考虑周到的，体贴的”， considerable意

为“相当大（或多）的”， considered意为“考虑过的,深思熟虑的”，considering 是介词，意为“鉴于，考虑到，顾及”。

34. D. 本题考查倍数的表示方法。英文倍数的表达方式为：几倍（或分数）＋ as

＋ adj.＋as被比较对象。例如：This room is three times as large as that one. 本句中由于$1000是不可数名词，因此用as much，as much后省略了as $1000。
