21．B advocate后接动词-ing形式作宾语，表示 “拥护做某事”。
22．B take things easy指在心理上放松，符合题意。take one's time “慢慢来，不着急”。
23．B come about意为 “发生，产生”，是不及物动词短语，符合语境。come up “长出地面，被提及”；go up “增长，上升”；go about “从事，着手做”。
24．A contribution意为“贡献”，其后的介词常用to或towards。句意：这些措施对减少工业事故会作出有价值的贡献。catastrophe“大灾难，浩劫”；progress意为“进步，进展”，为不可数名词；position意为“地位，位置”。
25．C 根据主句可知表示的是与过去相反的情况，因此从句谓语应用过去完成时。句意：如果当时你听了老师的建议的话，你上周的考试就不会不及格了。
26．B 句意：尽管价格很高，但这些车的需求量依然很大。in spite of “尽管”；because of “因为”；in case of “假如，万一”；due to “因为”。
27．D 由上句可知，彼得熬夜应发生在过去，且在此表示肯定推测。should have done “本来应该做某事”；must have done “过去一定做了某事”。
28．B 根据 “...but I've had enough.” 可知这里应该是谢绝对方的邀请，故排除A、D两项。C项虽然表示否定，但其意思与语意不符。故答案为B项 “不，谢谢你”。
29．A 乐器名词前面通常用定冠词the；a world-famous violinist 表示 “一位世界著名的小提琴家”。
30．D 第一个空doubt为名词，在肯定句中其后的同位语从句用whether引导。第二个空doubt为动词，在否定句中doubt之后的宾语从句由连词that引导。
31．A 句意：约翰收到一份宴请函而且他的工作也干完了，他就欣然接受了邀请。根据句意，工作是被完成，排除B、C两项。在with复合结构中，所缺部分作宾语补足语，D项只能作谓语。故选A项。
32．A 本句中it用作形式宾语，代替后面的不定式短语。
33．C feel like doing表示想干什么。would like后一般跟to do，表示一次性的行为。
34．C 句意：战争很残酷，它经常导致巨大的损失，正如在伊拉克和其他国家所发生的。as引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子。
35．C 根据the old man与wait之间的关系，应该选择v.-ing形式，再根据句意得知wait的动作发生在realized之前，所以先发生的动作应该用完成式Having waited。
