The Foreign Minister said，“_______our hope that the two sides will work towards peace.”
A. This is B. There is C. That is D. It is 解析：在名词性从句中，that既无词义，也不作句子成分连接一个句子成分完整的陈述句。根据句意和句子结构，特别是that的暗示，可判断题干为一个含有主语从句的复合句，句首的it为形式主语，真正的主语为其后的that从句，故最佳答案为D。
――Mr. Wang，whom would you rather _____ the important meeting？
――Tom. A. have attend B. have attended C. having attend D. have to attend 解析：若将疑问句改为陈述句，就是I would rather have Tom attend the important meeting. 其中would rather后必须接动词原形，have sb. do sth。意为“要某人做某事”，所以选A。
4 补全省略成分
口语中常常会使用一些省略句，做题时若将被省略的成分补充完整，答案就会一目了然。例如：
――What do you think made Mary so upset？
――_____ her new bike. A. As she lost B. Lost C. Losing D. Because of losing 解析：将答句补全，就是_____ her new bike made Mary so upset，显然，只能选C，用动名词短语作主语。
――Yes. _____ more words and expressions and you will find it easier to read and communicate. A. Know B. Knowing C. To know D. Known 解析：因为第二个and后面是一个句子，所以前面也必定是一个句子，但前面这个句子没有主语，只能选用动词原形，构成一个祈使句，因此，正确答案是A。
7 注意标点符号
标点有时对我们做题有提示作用，不同的标点可能导致选不同的答案，同学们做题时一定要小心。例如：
There are eight tips in Dr. Roger’s lecture on sleep，and one of them is：_____to bed early unless you think it is necessary. A. doesn’t go B. not to go C. not going D.don’t go 解析：此题很容易选B，认为是用不定式作表语。其实，冒号已经表明后面是Dr.Roger讲的原话，这原话应当是个句子，只有选D才构成一个否定形式的祈使句。
Mr. Smith used to smoke _______ but he has given it up. A. seriously B. heavily C. badly D. hardly 解析：因为指烟瘾或酒瘾很重，要用heavy或heavily，所以要选B。此外，雨雪“大”、烟雾“浓”、交通“拥挤”、波涛“汹涌”等，也用heavy。
