1.【答案】B
【解析】Under no circumstances“絕不”,否定短語位于句首,其后句子半倒裝?!拔覀兘^不會(huì)取消派對”,Under no circumstances中已經(jīng)包含了“不”的含義,故選B。
2.【答案】D
【解析】非限制性定語從句中,as we had expected“正如我們所料”為固定搭配,故選D。
3.【答案】C
【解析】be likely to do;alike意為“像”,只能作表語,如Great minds think alike.(英雄所見略同),similar “相似的”,equivalent意為“等價(jià)的”,根據(jù)句意選C。
4.【答案】B
【解析】在it is desirable/advisable/important/necessary that...結(jié)構(gòu)中,that引導(dǎo)的主語從句的謂語動(dòng)詞要使用“should. +動(dòng)詞原形”形式。
5.【答案】A
【解析】動(dòng)詞increase后使用by表示“增加了”,使用to表示"增加到"。因此本題答案為by。句意為:與去年相比,我們今年的夏季糧食產(chǎn)量增加了10%。
