51．正确答案为A）。如果你把情况跟你的律师讲清楚了的话，他给你的建议要比我的建议
好多了。本题考查虚拟语气。与现在或将来事实相反的非真实条件句，条件从句的谓语动词用过去式(explained)，主句谓语用should/would+动词原形。因此，正确答案就是A）would be able to。
52．正确答案为A）。虽然他是社会党人士，可他很少同意工人阶级的意见。按照逻辑，一个socialist是应该同情工人阶级的处境的，因此我们就此可以排除选项C）和D）。若用A），本句就为转折状语从句，如果用B）则为让步状语从句。显然，前者更合题义，即“虽然他是社会党人士，可他很少同意工人阶级的意见”。要使用even if，从句中使用虚拟语气更合适。
53．正确答案为B）。他这样的话激怒了会场上的每一个人。这里such…that/as是固定搭配，意思是“如此…以致”，用于给出理由或作解释，其中such为代词。so as to do sth也是固定说法，但表示目的。例如，I came earlier today so as to make everything ready before everyone else comes。
54．正确答案为B）。James已经到了，直到昨天我才知道他要来的。本句考查的是进行时表示将来。因为文中讲的是自己实现不知道James要来这一事实，所以时用过去进行时。具有相同用法的还有go, leave等.
55．正确答案为D）。我一直以来都清楚作为一个公民的责任，将来也会一直如此。这句话的意思是自己“一直”清楚作为一个公民的责任，而且“将来也会一直如此”。所以要用用现在完成时和一般将来时，即I have been and always will be。表示”从说话时刻之前一直…以及永远将…故，D）为正确答案。
56．正确答案为A）。由于燃料供应量有限，而许多人又很浪费，我们必须在家安某种太阳能设备。这里的some不是表示“一些”，而是表示an unknown or unstated one相当于a certain，即“某一，某个，某种”，表示某种不确定的事物。因此，选项B）和D）可以排除。type of后加名词单数形式,即使是可数名词前面也不加a/an.
57．正确答案为C）。我是1984年去那里的，那是我唯一一次在两天内完成的旅行。从本句的含义看，动词显然应该用过去时，首先排除A）。其次，be able to do表示客观做成某事的可能，符合题意。而can do表示主观愿望，所以可以排除。must have done表示推断，不合题意。
58．正确答案为B）。我知道他没通过最后一次考试，但他绝对不笨。固定用法anything but的意思是not at all或者for from，即“绝对不,一点也不”。而nothing but的意思是only，即“只不过,正是”。Something but不是固定说法。根据题义，应该选B）。
59．正确答案为B）。你知道Tom的哥哥吗，与Tom比起来，他可是个更好的运动员。本题考查形容词比较级。Of + 名词，相当于其对应的形容词，与be more of + 名词 + than构成比较级。be more of…than…比…更像是…
60．正确答案为B）。那不是他第一次出卖我们了，我想是时候我们采取强烈行动对付他了。句型It/That is the first/second time …中动词原则上要使用完成词。例如，This is the first time I have been in China。本句中that was表明事情发生在过去，所以用过去完成时had betrayed。It‟s (high) time … 句型中要使用一般过去时也是常识。因此，唯有B）符合题义。
61．正确答案为A）。今年举行大选的机率有多大呢？这是一个比较简单的题。只要注意到所填入的成分作介词of的宾语，就可以排除B）、C）和D）。there be的非限定形式做介词宾语时有两种情形,在for后面一般用for there to be, 其他介词一般为介词+there being. 这是专四常考的结构.
62．正确答案为D）。会议推迟了，因为我们拒绝在John不在的情况下开会。动词object to后接名词或者v-ing表示“反对，抗议”，因此排除A）和C）。B）为被动，所以不合题义。
63. 正确答案为C）。如果你对你的打印机还有什么问题，请与商家联系，寻求建议。Should位置提前到句首，表示事情不大可能发生，即Should sb do sth用作条件状语,表示与将来相反的可能性,主句应用…could/would do…因此C）符合题义。if可以看出。选项A）if ... had是虚拟语气，不合题义，而D）的时态不对。
64．正确答案为C）。他向我借钱，我借给他了，但是条件是下一周他要归还我。On condition that和only if含义相同，义为“倘若”，但是only if用于句首，并且主谓要倒装。所以，正确答案为C）。
65．正确答案为C）。孩子们逃课有不同的原因。本题正确答案为C），其中的it指代前面所说的stay away from school。
66. 正确答案为B）。你干嘛盯着它？—“我以前从来没看到过那种树。 “那种树”:that kind of.
67．正确答案为D）。虽然还有不少问题，但明年的这个时候我们就熬到头了。固定用语light at the end of the tunnel的意思是signs of the end of something which has been difficult or unpleasant（就要看到转机的曙光）。
68．正确答案为B）。我们知道他有压力，所以不在乎他脾气不好。从题义来看，他有压力所以脾气不好。因此首先就可以排除选项A）excitement。be under stress的含义是“在压力之下”，符合题义。另外两个选项crisis和nervousness均不跟介词under搭配。
69．正确答案为B）。导演用手势示意演员们到下一个拍摄地。move on 的意思是to continue a journal（继续前行）；move off意思是to leave a place（离开，出发），而move along则为to move further towards the front or back of sth（向前/后移动）。根据该句的含义，导演示意演员们离开去下一个拍摄点，所以只有B）move off符合题义。
70．正确答案为C）。他的想法被他的同事一致指责为不切实际。从该句中的动词condemned 就可以看出这里应该使用一个贬义词，而四个选项中只有impractical（不切实际的）符合这一点。另外，imaginative意思是“想象力丰富”，ingenious含义为“灵巧的，巧妙的”,而theoretical的意思是“理论（上）的”。
71．正确答案为D）。成千上万的人走上街头，抗议当地政府穿过田地建铁路。四个选项中的contradict，counter和protest都有“反对”的意思，但是唯有protest后面可以跟against。Contradict含义为“反驳，抗辩”，为及物动词；counter义为“反击，反对”，也是及物动词。
72．正确答案为A）。大部分护士是女性，但在医学界的高层，女性仍是少数。be in a (the) minority是固定说法，意思是“占少数”; rarity含义为“稀有，罕见（的事）”，但不可以和介词in如此搭配；scarcity跟shortage为同义词，含义为“不足，缺乏”，也不用于这一结构。Minimum为“最小值”。
73．正确答案为B）。Johnson教授从明年一月份退休。take effect含义为“起作用，开始奏效”，符合题义；put/bring sth into effect意思是“落实计划”，但若要在本句中使用，显然要使用被动语态。Carry into effect和have effect均为不正确搭配。
74．正确答案为A）。总统解释说税收的目的是为政府开支提供资金。其中finance为“向…提供资金”之义，expand为“扩展”，enlarge为“扩大”，而budget为“预算”。所以，根据意义，就可以看出正确答案为A）。
75．正确答案为C）。夏季，这个山区也一样酷暑难耐。这几个词虽然在含义上有类似之处，但其搭配却不一样。Intense意思是“强烈的、剧烈的”，经常跟heat和pain等连用，可分别翻译为“酷热/暑”和“剧痛”。 Intensive为“密集的、集中的”，常跟course和fighting搭配，即“强化课程”和“激烈的战斗”。Concentrated则常常跟表示液体的名词连用，意思是“浓缩的”，如concentrated orange juice（浓缩橙汁）。Extensive是intensive的反义词，意思是“广泛的，涉及面广的”，例如extensive English course（泛读英语课程）。因此，正确答案为C）。
76．正确答案为A）。此处严禁拍照，因为拍照可能会破坏这些珍贵的溶洞绘画。根据词义就可判断这个题的答案：forbidden义为“禁止”，rejected为“拒绝”，excluded为“排除在外”，而denied义为“否定”。可见，正确答案为A）。
77．正确答案为C）。Brown先生的情况非常严重，他能否挺过来仍是个问题。四个选项中，pull through的意思是to live in spite of illness or wounds（从疾病中活下来）；pull back意思是retreat, withdraw（撤回）；pull up是“使…停下”；而pull out则为“撤离”之义。显然，正确答案为pull through。
78．正确答案为D）。从九十年代初开始，很多工商业领域的一个发展趋势是：产品和服务都可以量身定做，现货供应，其目的在于为顾客而不是为厂商提供更多的便利。从句子的意思可以看出，on-demand, always-available products and services的目的是为顾客提供cconvenience（方便、便利），而不是给他们更多的利润（benefit），或者可用性、实用性（availability），或者匹配性（suitability）。
79．正确答案为C）。牧师走进教堂时，在胸前画了个十字。这几个词的含义的区别是：mark指在东西上面留下来的“记号、符号、痕迹”，signal指发出的“信号”，sign则指表示某种意义的动作或者声音等，gesture 的意思是“手势”。Make the sign of the cross意思是“在胸前画十字（以祝福，祈祷）”。
80．正确答案为B）。这间宽敞的房间陈设简单，没有多少家具。Sparsely的意思是“稀少地、稀疏地”，例如a sparsely populated area（人口稀少的地区）。本句中的a sparsely furnished room意思是“陈设简单的房间”。其他三个词都不用来指人口等的密度小。所以，正确答案为sparsely。

答案：C。这也是专四考试频考的知识点之一：in that引导原因状语从句。for that不能引导从句，A和D都引导定语从句。句意：人之所以有别于动物在于他们能思考，会说话。
55. ____ he wanted to go out with his friends at the weekend, he had to stay behind to finish his assignment.
A. Much though B. Much as C. As much D. Though much
答案：B. 考查由much as引导的让步状语从句，意为“尽管”=although。而as much意为“同样地，这样地”。A和D不是固定搭配。句意：尽管他想周末和朋友出去，却不得不留下完成作业。
56. I enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends in Paris last year.

答案：A. 考查时间状语从句。四个选项都可以引导定语从句，但这里没有后面从句修饰的先行词，故出现的不是定语从句。从两部分之间的关系来看，后面部分提到了时间段，因此填入when，成为时间状语从句。句意：去年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。
57. Which of the following is INCORRECT?
A. All his lectures were boring.
B. Half his money was gone.
C. Her few friends are all fond of dancing.
D. He invited many his friends to the party.
答案:D. 本题是今年专四试卷中出现的新题型，对英语专业同学的语法知识提出了一个更高的要求。考查的是限定词位置的用法。英语中的限定词可分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位限定词，一个名词前的限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位的顺序出现，其中两个前位或两个中位词不能同时出现在同一个名词前。many是后位限定词，而his是中位限定词，与限定词排序规则有悖，故D为答案。A选项中all是前位，his是中位，符合规则；B中half是前位，his是中位限定词；C中her是中位，few是后位限定词。
58. When you have finished with that book, don't forget to put it back on my desk, _____?

答案：C. 考查的是反义疑问句。复合句的反义疑问句应反问主句部分，本句主句是否定祈使句don’t forget to„，故祈使部分用will you。句意：你读完那本书后，别忘了把它放回我的书桌上，好吗？
59. What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?
A. It was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.
B. He refused to spend his money in a wise manner.
C. He was short of money and didn't want to buy anything.
D. He refused, in a wise manner, to spend his money.
答案：A. 本题属于“句意理解题”，也是伴随着57题，作为08专四的新题型，着实让考生出乎意料。本题关键在于分析句中的wisely是修饰refused的，还是修饰refused to spend his money的，可以直接修饰refuse的副词有很多，如firmly，flatly，gracefully，politely等，但是当refuse后接动词不定式短语的时候，副词修饰的就是refuse to do这个动宾结构了。如：resolutely refuse to answer坚决拒绝回答。可见题干中句子的含义是：他明智地拒绝花钱（这件事情），这表示他拒绝花钱这件事是很明智的，故选A。
60. They stood chatting together as easily and naturally as ____.
A. it could be B. could be C. it was D. was
答案：A. as„as one can表示“尽可能地”。A和B的区别就在于主语不同，B是they could be的省略形式，因为主句中出现的动词是stood，不是be动词，因此该选项中的动词与前面不符；it could be表示的意思是“在可能的情况下”，it指代前面提到的内容。句意：他们站在那儿尽可能地随意聊天。
61. The following are all correct responses to "Who told the news to the teacher?" EXCEPT

62. Quality is ____ counts most.
A. which B. that C. what D. where
答案：C. 句中is后为表语从句，该从句中缺少主语，that引导名词性从句时不做成分，where为地点状语，which引导非限制性定语从句，故这里选what（做双重身份：表语从句引导词和表语从句中的主语）

61. In the sentence "It's no use waiting for her", the italicized phrase is
A. the object B. an adverbial
C. a complement D. the subject
答案. D. 本题为句子成分题。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意为“宾语”，B意为“状语”，C意为“补语”。
62. Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?
A. All his lectures are very interesting.
B. Half their savings were gone.
C. Many his friends came to the party.
D. Both his sisters are nurses.
答案. C. 考查限定词排序。限定词的相互搭配关系为：前位+中位+后位。四个选项中，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，故选C。
63. Which of the following sentences has an object complement?
A. The directors appointed John manager.
B. I gave Mary a Christmas present.
C. You have done Peter a favour.
D. She is teaching children English.
答案. A. 本题为句子成分题。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. Which of the following words can NOT be used to complete "We've seen the film "?
A. before B. recently C. lately D. yet
答案. D. 本题为句意表达题，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. should not become a serious disadvantage in life and work.
A. To be not tall B. Not being tall
C. Being not tall D. Not to be tall
答案. B. 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. Due to personality , the two colleagues never got on well in work.
A. contradiction B. conflict
C. confrontation D. competition
答案. B. 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可以判断，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。

70. In the face of unexpected difficulties, he demonstrated a talent for quick, action.
A. determining B. defensive
C. demanding D. decisive
答案. D. 本题为形容词辨析题。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。

51.解析：本题考查动名词的逻辑主语。动名词可以有自己的逻辑（意义）主语，一般可以用名词所有格Tom’s，代词宾格如him（口语），书面语情况下一般用物主代词his，their。本题选C，但我还是要吐槽，因为根本就不需要多此一举添加his, he didn't deny breaking the agreement完全正确，比原题要精简地道许多，从写作角度来看，his根本是多余的，当然纯粹考察语法的话选C。
52. 解析：此题恐怕是最受争议的题目了，有人认为选A，有人认为选D。根据English Grammar: A University Course一书，“The Subject Complement (主语补足语) is the obligatory constituent which follows a copular verb(系动词) and which cannot be made subject in a passive clause: 比如Who’s there? It’s me/It’s I. She became a tennis champion at a very early age. Feel free to ask questions!” 一般语法书也是这么说的，有的书上把这种情况下接的名词叫做predicate noun/nominative,接的形容词叫做predicate adjective。该书接着说“As well as be and seem, a wide range of verbs can be used to link the subject to its Complement; these add meanings of transition (become, get, go, grow, turn) and of perception (sound, smell, look) among others,” 比如I know it sounds stupid. The situation becomes even worse. 这些一般语法书也会提到，但是题目里的都不是这种现象，很多语法书对主语补语的介绍也就到此为止。好在这本书多介绍了一点，但情况很微妙。此书又说 More problematic is the constituent following other verbs that could be used intransitively with the same meaning, as in:
Saint Ethelbert was born a Saxon princess. (she was born)
He returned a broken man. (he returned)
He died young. (he died)
We shall consider such constituents as Complements on the strength of the possible paraphrase containing be (When he returned he was a broken man; When he died he was young).
这部分恰好就是本题所代表的类型，但是从该书作者表述来看，他们也承认这样的句子很不一般，不太容易轻易判定是否为主语补语，在本书里，作者认为可以看作是主语补语，因为大概可以改写成含有系动词be的句子，但作者的措辞显然没有那么肯定，有待商榷的意思。据此，本题可以选D，是主语补足语。
53. 解析：首先要知道什么是复合词。A compound is a word that consists of more than one free morpheme。所谓morpheme词素是最小的音义结合体，其最大的特点是不能再被分割为更小的音义结合体。而free morpheme是指能独立存在使用的词素，bound morpheme则是必须依附于其他单位的词素，比如前缀后缀属于bound morpheme，如pre-，-ment，在单词shipment里，ship就是free morpheme，ment则是bound。因此四个选项里只有deadline是由两个free morpheme构成（dead+line），其他三个都有Bound morpheme比如non,ness,mis-等。
54. 解析: subjunctive mood是指虚拟语气，四个选项里只有A的insist属于虚拟语气用法，其中that从句里省略了should。
55. 解析：限定词的用法是近几年专四的热门考点，诸如some，many，both，all，each等用法究竟如何还是希望大家多翻阅语法书和词典。这道题看似有点难度，也许你从来不知道哪个限定词可以接名词复数和不可数名词，但好在备选项里每个单词你都可以去接名词试试就知道了，比如more money,more trees; enough money, enough trees; many money?, many trees; such big trees, such behavior.所以选C。
56. 解析：首先要明白and不一定表示并列。A，C里的and表示先后；D里的and表示递进；只有B里的and表示对比。
57. 解析：估计不少学生看到名词替代词这个术语，一开始都吓着了，因为压根没听说过，不过对做这道题目倒无大碍，所谓名词替代词顾名思义就是指能代替名词或名词短语，避免重复的词，英语里one, ones,(the)same等都是常见的。比如There are good films as well as bad ones.除此以外还有the kind, the sort，比如Slang disappears quickly, especially the juvenile sort.还有一些不定代词等比如all, both, some, any enough, several, none, many, much, (a) few, (a) little, the other, others, another, either, neither等，比如Can you get me some nails? I need some. I don’t want any more food. I’ve had enough. 本题选D, quarter不是名词替代词。
58. 解析：这道题目有点意思，既考查时态，又考查will的用法，A/B/D都是将来时的各种表达，唯独C的will，看似是将来时标志，其实不然，因为和by now矛盾，这里will的用法是指you think something is true，表说话人自己的看法，比如That will be Tim coming home now; Ask anyone and they will tell you the same thing. 本题选C。
59. 解析：本题考查主谓一致（agreement/concord）。ten miles看作整体单数，mumps腮腺炎这个单词就是以s结尾的，不可数名词；furniture在英语里是不可数名词；A里的politics并不是指政治，而是指政治学(political science)，是不可数名词，但这个用法主要是英式英语。此外，politics表示政治可以看作不可数名词，也可以看作复数，比如Politics have always interested me. 本题选A。
60. 解析：章振邦的书拿到手后果然发现了他的讲解，基本就是原句。第五版的55页，名词属格和of-词组一节说：名词属格和of-词组在意义和用法上有许多相同之处，比如the trunk of an elephant=an elephant's trunk，表示主谓关系有the arrival of the prime minister;表示动宾关系 the occupation of the Island;表来源 the law of Newton。因此据此本题选A。但我要吐槽的是先不说我手上其他参考书根本没有讲到，就这种主谓关系，动宾关系的说法我就不太同意，因为所谓词组的主谓关系和动宾关系是汉语语法里的说法，英语里说主谓自然指的是句子，一个名词短语何来主谓之说？
61. 解析：又是同位语？！四个选项的用法在大部分语法书里并没有做进一步区分，都成为不定式的定语用法，修饰名词。不过章振邦的书里又出现了这个，又是原句作为选项出现，章指出不定式作为名词的后置修饰语时，不定式和名词之间的搭配关系是主谓A中的the man draw back，也可以是C和D的动宾to fear nothing, to support family；有时候也是同为关系,比如urge(冲动)的内容就是指to tell a lie撒谎，故为同位语。我不得不吐槽，章很喜欢分析任何语法单位的结构，他在教师用书的第一部分也说本书语法体系是要贯彻层次分析法。
62. 解析：花了点时间翻遍手头各类语法和用法图书，除了直接用动词打头，Do/Don't，You/其他唤名+动词, let类型外，均没有见到D的wish类型。说明：似乎只有章振邦的书上在情态动词will一节提到B的属于加强祈使句。我个人对此表示质疑。更常见的应该是You mind your own business。如果说You will mind your own business是祈使句，那么You will see him now岂不是也是祈使句？这显然说不通。其实You will mind your own business要有祈使句功能，还跟语气语调有很大关系，应该念成You WILL mind your own business! 而不是YOU will mind your own business. 出题人不严谨，死扣语法书，可见一斑。
63. 解析：最经典的If条件虚拟句，说的是将来，应该选A.
64. 解析：目前来看又要有争议。很多人认为是B，而我之前说C，尽管C里的must是表示主观必须（C只有前半句是fact，后半句谈不上什么事实）。问题在于如何理解B的must。在English Grammar:A University Course一书里有一节谈到must的logical necessity用法问题，作者说在英式英语里有用must表示逻辑上的必定如此，尽管美国人更喜欢用have to。比如 If Jane is Pat's sister and Jill is Jane's daughter, Pat must be Jill's aunt.此时Pat must be Jill's aunt就相当于不用情态动词的陈述句Pat is Jill's aunt.如此极端的例子才能说明这是逻辑上的必然，但我实在看不出选项B里一个没有语境的句子是如何有逻辑上的必然，我个人觉得Careless reading must give poor results.和Careless reading gives poor results.还是不一样的。B句是章振邦那本书里的原句，章自己也说“用must表示必然，也是一种推测或推断，其口气最为肯定，一般用于肯定陈述句”由此来看，再如何肯定那也是一种推断，不是fact。
65. 解析：看到专四考这个题目，我只能呵呵。动态动词是指能够延续持续动作的，比如hit，run等，相反的则是stative verb静态动词，比如know.现在进行时是常见检验手段。你不能说I am knowing the answer，只能说I know the answer，因此know是静态动词。同理，题目的A选项remain也是静态动词，其他都是动态动词。
