三、词汇
41．答案：B?
【参考译文】在经历了一场似乎永无休止的等待后，终于轮到她进入人事经理的办公室了。?
【试题分析】本题为语法题，考关系代词的用法。?
【详细解答】这里需要填一个关系代词，引导一个宾语从句，作介词after的宾语，同时这一关系代词还是宾语从句的主语。在这四个选项中，只有what既可以引导从句，也可以作主语。?

42．答案：C?

【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对非谓语动词的掌握。?

43．答案：C?
【参考译文】：据说Johnson教授去年的研究取得了重大进展。?
【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对非谓语动词的掌握。
【详细解答】当动作发生在谓语动词之前时，应用不定式的完成时表示。本句中的Professor Johnson去年的研究取得重大进展先于谓语动词"据说"之前，故应用动词不定式的完成式。?

44．答案：A?

【参考译文】：由于感到登山存在危险而产生的焦虑不应像如今公众心里所想象的那么多。?爬山时对所察觉到的危险的焦虑要比人们内心想象而产生的焦虑少一些。?
【试题分析】本题为语法结构题。?
【详细解答】本句的主干部分为"There ought to be less...than..."，than后面应该跟一个句子与"There ought to be"构成比较关系，但是than后面的句子为避免重复省略了主语anxiety，所以谓语应用exists。?

47．答案：A?
【参考译文】我从未去过拉萨，但那却是我最想参观的城市。?
【试题分析】本题为语法结构题。?
【详细解答】选项 I'd most like to visit在句中是宾语从句，其先行词是city，宾语从句省略了关系代词that或which。?

50．答案：C?
【参考译文】他是那种大家所熟悉的牢骚满腹的人--总是怨这怨那。?
【试题分析】本题为语法结构题。?

51．答案：B?
【参考译文】无论任务多艰难，他总是尽力按时完成。
【试题分析】本题为语法结构题，考查对让步状语从句的掌握。?
【详细解答】however意思是"无论如何，不管如何"，当它引导让步状语从句时，后面需要紧跟形容词或副词，表示对形容词或副词意义的强调。而当though引导让步状语从句时，从句后面的内容应为正常语序。故只有选项B为正确答案。?

52．答案：A?
【参考译文】尽管我非常乐意借钱给他，但我当时确实没有那么多的多余现金，所以没能借钱给他。?
【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对虚拟语气的掌握。?
