publish公布，proposal提议；建议，pressfor敦促；迫切要求。句意：9相对于3等同于3相对于1。这也是专四考试频考的知识点之一：inthat引导原因状语从句。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。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。asonecan表示“尽可能地”。
51. Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the
disabled, will publish ____ proposals in the near future.
A. their
B. our
C. his
D. its
答案： D. 考查物主代词。逗号与逗号之间的是作为插入语，是
association 的定语从句，在此 association 作为一个整体概念出现，且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词
has pressed，后面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的，故选 D。句意： 我们的协会一直在敦促给残疾人更多的就业机会，并且将在最近公布建议书。
publish 公布， proposal 提议；建议， press for 敦促； 迫切要求。
52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she ____ much better results now.
A. would be getting
B. could have got
C. must get
D. would get
答案： D.考查虚拟语气（错综时间虚拟语气）。从句部分是对过去的虚拟，省略了if，因此出现倒装，但主句部分出现了明显的时间标志词now，可见是对现在的虚拟，故应该是would/could/should/might do 的形式，而 get 为瞬间动词，不用进行时，故选D。句意：如果朱迪数学考试时更认真一些，她现在成绩就会好多了。
53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one.
A. when
B. that
C. which
D. what
答案： D。这是专四考试频考知识点了：

54. Men differ from animals ____ they can think and speak.
A. for which
B. for that
C. in that
D. in which
答案： C。这也是专四考试频考的知识点之一：

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

“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.
A. when
B. which
C. that
D. where
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, _____?
A. do you
B. don't you
C. will you
D. won't you
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
A. Jim did this.
B. Jim did so.
C. Jim did that.
D. Jim did.
答案： A. 对 Who told the news to the teacher 的标准回答是 Jim did ，即 Jim did it 的省略句。
此外，还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容，so 和 that 都可以指代前文中提到的内容，
而 this 通常用于指代下文内容。
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）
63. In his plays Shakespeare _____ his characters live through their language.

A ：你必须离开； C：你必须 8 点前到这儿； D：你必须按时完成阅读作业。如上三个意思均为“肯定、必须”。B：你一定感到很累了。表示肯定的判断，表示可能性，故选B。

considerate 意为“考虑他人的，体恤别人的，考虑周详的” =thoughtful ；considerable 意为“相当的，可观的，数目庞大的”（可以巧记，字母多一个，所以数量大） ；considered 和 considering 分别是动词 consider 的过去分词和现在分词，不符语境，不做形容词，故排除。句意：在路上，开车者应该注意并考虑到骑车的人。
