参考答案
11.【答案】only to be told that she couldn’t come by then
本题考查对“only+不定式”结构的掌握。此结构相当于一个结果状语,意为“结果却……”,表示事情的发展与预料相反。如:He rushed all the way to the station only to miss the train.他一路奔跑赶到车站,可是车已经开走了。
12.【答案】in appearance but not in character
①in appearance表示“外表”,往往包括衣着,而looks 复数形式表示容貌,单数形式则表示“表情、神色”,尤指高兴时的表情;②in character表示“性格”。
13.【答案】than go on holiday to the seaside
①虚拟语气:than go on holiday表示“不如……”,其结构为:主语+would rather+动词谓语+than+动词原形,表示“宁可……”、“与其……不如(做),不愿”。②on holiday表示“度假”。③seaside表示“海滨”。
14.【答案】through facial expressions and by making noises
本题要注意介词的选择。同样是表示方法途径,前后的介词选择却有不同,考生要注意比较和记忆。
15.【答案】what really made me decide to buy it
本题考查对what引导的主语从句的掌握。根据句子结构,前半句是although引导的让步状语从句,而主句中只有系表结构,缺少主语,故需要翻译的部分应该是一个主语从句。
