1) Much as____, I couldn‟t lend him the money because I simply didn‟t have that much spare cash. (选择A)(a)I would have like to (b) I would like to have (c) I should have to like (d) I should have liked to分析:as在这里引导让步状语从句,因此需要将程度副词much提到句首,进行倒装。

从句中之所以用would have liked to,是因为说话人表达了一种假设,即if I had been able to lend the money, I would have liked to (lend the money), 用虚拟语气表示假设,可以使说话人语气变得委婉。

2)_____, I‟ll marry him all the same.(a)Was he rich or poor (b) Whether rich or poor (c) Were he rich or poor (d) Be he rich orpoor.分析:Be he rich or poor相当于whether he is rich or poorWhether …or…有时谓语用be的原型,引导让步虚拟从句,这种用法经常采用倒装结构。

例如:1)Church as we use the word refers to all religious institutions, be they Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Jewish, and so on. 2) The business of each day, be it selling goods or shipping them, went quite smoothly.3)Overpopulation poses a terrible threat to the human race. Yet it is probably_______ a threat to the human race than environmental destruction.A.no moreB.not moreC.even moreD.much more解析:B. 此句话的意思是说人口过剩对人类造成了严重威胁,但是它对人类的威胁很可能没有对环境的威胁大。

One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I wasshocked to learn that not one of my studentshad said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them whatthey were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “Ilove you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed bygod jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes overtime. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with theirmoms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met herat the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you havegone Ihave more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided itwas a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having greatdepth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little wordscarry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we sayto or hear from those we love.52.The foreign teacher_______.A. comes from AmericaB. is a young womanC. is expressive enoughD. knows much about China53.Chinese people prefer to show love by________.A. saying “I love you”B. cookingC. getting good gradesD. doing something helpful;54.In paragraph 4,what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?A.

Most people are old enough to know that fat rings can not secure another person’s love as well as magic doesn’t exist. It is useless for people to be in a long-term relation.
Many of people, especially men, have contributed themselves to make money in order to buy something that are regarded as romantic to fit in to societal expectation. However, their partners seem all too ready to go along with it. Engagement rings are the prime examples of this mindset, which is a action that lacks justifications.
It is no need to have two different kinds of rings for one wedding. It is said the engagement rings should start with De Beers, in 20th century, who created demand for diamond via scarcity and pretend worth, originating from four words:’’ A diamond is forever’’. By connecting the diamond with people’s love, De Beers and their marketers began a tradition so embedded we forget it’s a marketing poly. And recent years, the prices keep going up.
It seems better to buy something more useful than diamond rings for logical couples. Many people regard engagement rings as a symbol of love and devotion, but it is ridiculous.
Tradition is another assertion when it comes to monogamy and marriage. But tradition is not a justification.
All in all, we don’t need such a ring to prove our love.。
