66-70.BDCBD 71-75.ACDDA 76-80.CBDAC
51. D【解析】句意理解题。句中的斜体字部分from excessive reading是眼睛红的原因，故选D。句意：由于看书太多，她的眼睛红了。 52. A【解析】考查情态动词。must用在肯定句中表示较有把握的推测，意为―一定‖。当must后接完成时的时候，表示对已发生的事情的推测。根据句意，此处应该为有把握的推测，故选A。句意：南希去上班了，但她的车还在那儿。她一定是坐公交车去的。
53. D【解析】考查惯用结构。enough to do sth.是惯用结构，enough前必须有其他形容词或副词。句意：他感到自己还没有强壮到可以去国外旅行。
54. C【解析】考查宾语从句。本句中after后需要一个宾语从句，该宾语从句缺主语，因此需一个作主语的连接代词。只有what可在宾语从句中充当主语，故选C。句意：在经过似乎漫长的等待后，轮到他进入人事经理的办公室了。 55. B【解析】考查状语从句。as用作连词时，和though同义，而从句中的实
2
义动词或系动词后的形容词需提前。句中fool是形容词，位于句首，符合as引导让步状语从句的使用条件，故选B。句意：杰瑞再愚蠢也不可能做出这样的事儿。
56. C【解析】句意表达题。不定代词each在句中可作主语、宾语、定于和同位语，用作同位语时，each可用在代词后。ABD均符合语法要求，故选C。 57. B【解析】考查反意疑问句。本句中含有否定含义的副词seldom，故反意时用肯定形式does she。选项A的not与seldom矛盾；选项C和D中的would与句中的goes不吻合。故选B。句意：她很少去剧院，是吗？
58. D【解析】句意理解题。从句意可以判断，这里的head of the department和an expert in translation说的都是Dr. Johnson，可见两部分之间是并列关系，故选D。句意：约翰逊博士是系主任，翻译专家。
59. C【解析】考查代词。本句为主从复合句，其中时间状语从句的主语为one，因此主句中对应的代词应用he，故选C。句意：一个人身体健康时应感到幸运。 60. A【解析】考查虚拟语气。形容词为necessary，important，impossible，strange，natural，essential等时，在―It+be+形容词或过去分词+主语从句‖结构中，主语从句要用虚拟语气，其中的should可省略。故选A。句意：他必须按时交作业。 61. D【解析】句子成分题。在It’s no use waiting for her中，it为形式主语，句子真正的主语是动名词短语waiting for her，故选D。A宾语，B状语，C补语。 62. C【解析】考查限定词排序。限定词的相互搭配关系为：前位+中位+后位。选项中，只有C中的Many his为―后位+中位‖，不符合限定词的相互搭配关系。 63. A【解析】句子成分题。宾语后面加上一个词或一个短语用来对宾语的特征、状态等情况进行补充说明，这个成分称之为宾语补足语。它和前面的宾语一起形成―复合宾语‖，宾语和宾语补足语之间存在一种逻辑上的主谓关系。选项A中的manager和宾语John之间存在逻辑主谓关系，故为宾语补足语。而选项B、C、D中的动词后面都是双宾语。
64. D【解析】句意表达题，考查的是副词作状语的用法。选项D中的yet用于否定句和疑问句，而原句为陈述句，故选D。
65. B【解析】考查非谓语动词。本句中缺失主语。动名词短语作主语时，通常用于表示一件已知的事或经验。不定式短语通常用来表示一件未完成的事或目的。本句中―长得不高‖是一件已知的事情，所以选择动名词短语作主语，表示
2006-2010历年英语专业八四级语法与词汇真题及解析汇总(TEM4 GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY) ants05
否定意义，not要放在动名词前面，故选B。句意：长得不高不该成为生活和工作中的一个严重不足之处。
66. B【解析】考查名词辨析。contradiction意为―矛盾‖，指比较抽象的，在观点、意见上的矛盾；conflict意为―冲突‖，比矛盾强烈，且可以是针锋相对的，公开的。由句中的never got on well in work可判断，两人积怨已深，personality conflict指―性格矛盾‖，故选B。句意：由于性格冲突，这两个同事在工作上从未相处融洽过。

D【解析】形容词辨析题。decisive意为―果断的‖，句中的quick和decisive构成近义关系，符合语义衔接关系，故选D。determining是determine（下决心）的现在分词，不能用作形容词；defensive意为―防御的，保卫的―；demanding意为―要求高的，吃力的‖。均不符合句意，故排除。句意：面对意想不到的困难，他显示了迅速果断采取行动的才能。

80. C【解析】动词辨析题。crawl爬行，是指贴地而爬；run奔跑；hurry匆忙，赶快。scramble攀爬。由于句中提到的是slope，从而可判断此处说的是攀爬，故选C。句意：由于没有路，旅行者在回来的路上爬了一个岩石斜坡。
