　　解析：句意：“Bob已把樹(shù)枝從樹(shù)上砍掉，Bill，你去把它砍碎做柴禾。”“你認(rèn)為我真的生來(lái)適合干這種活嗎？”cut away“砍掉”之意，cut off“切斷，隔絕”；cut...up“砍碎”；cut out“剪除，割掉”；cut through“取捷徑”。

　　C．hearing

　　D．being heard

　　解析：句意：孩子們吃飯的時(shí)候說(shuō)話的聲音非常大，我不得不極力(提高嗓門)讓其他人聽(tīng)清我的話。我說(shuō)話是被別人聽(tīng)見(jiàn)，故排除主動(dòng)選項(xiàng)B、C。不定式表示目的，故A正確。

　　答案：A

　　5．There is nothing more I can try ________ you to stay，so I wish you good luck.

　　A．being persuaded

　　B．persuading

　　C．to be persuaded

　　D．to persuade

　　解析：句意：既然我沒(méi)有辦法說(shuō)服你留下來(lái)，我只好祝你好運(yùn)。I can try ________ you to stay為定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為nothing more將其代入后為：I can try nothing more to persuade you to stay.我沒(méi)有辦法說(shuō)服你留下來(lái)。由此可看出to persuade在本句中作目的狀語(yǔ)。

　　答案：D

　　B．having broken

　　C．to have broken

　　D．to break

　　解析：句意：人們看到劉翔就歡呼起來(lái)，曾報(bào)道他打破了110米跨欄世界紀(jì)錄。根據(jù)句意：report后接不定式A、B排除，打破紀(jì)錄是發(fā)生過(guò)的事情，所以用不定式的完成式來(lái)表達(dá)。

　　答案：C

　　8．When asked why he went there，he said he was sent there ________ for a space flight.

　　A．training

　　B．being trained

　　C．to have trained

　　D．to be trained

　　解析：句意：當(dāng)問(wèn)及他為何去那里時(shí)，他說(shuō)他被派往那里作太空飛行訓(xùn)練。根據(jù)句意可知he與train之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以排除A、C兩項(xiàng)；而設(shè)空處在句中應(yīng)作目的狀語(yǔ)，所以要用不定式，故排除B項(xiàng)。

　　問(wèn)題二：推理判斷題常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題

　　問(wèn)題描述與分析

　　推理判斷是指在理解原文字面意義的基礎(chǔ)上，通過(guò)對(duì)語(yǔ)篇邏輯關(guān)系的分析和細(xì)節(jié)的暗示，作出一定的判斷和推理，從而得出文章的深層意義及隱含意義的過(guò)程。學(xué)生在此類問(wèn)題上失分較多，主要是無(wú)法準(zhǔn)確找到答案的位置點(diǎn)，很難進(jìn)行正確推理。

　　典例精析：

　　【例1】 (2009?全國(guó)Ⅰ卷C篇)We have met the enemy, and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey-pox，a disease.usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染)we think of as human infections started in other animals”， says Stephen Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

　　It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them, ”says Isaksen.

　　“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，”says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒)may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful(有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

　　(D)1.We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may ________

　　A．come from Columbia

　　B．prevent us from being infected

　　C．enjoy being with children

　　D．suffer from monkey-pox

　　(A)2.The text suggests that in the future we ________.

　　A．may have to fight against more new diseases

　　B．may easily get infected by diseases from dogs

　　C．should not be allowed to have pets

　　D．should stop buying pets from Africa

　　【答案解析】

　　1．選擇D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的第一、二句話可知，我們從寵物商店購(gòu)買的動(dòng)物身上攜帶疾病，能傳播給人類。下面以猴痘為例說(shuō)明作者的觀點(diǎn)。

　　2．選擇A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的最后兩句A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person可知，人類今后可能面臨更多疾病的挑戰(zhàn)。

　　【例2】 (2009?山東卷A篇)A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy (遺產(chǎn)) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.”says Dave.

　　But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches’ Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches.generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others，it was more than $100,000.

　　It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.

　　Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on (喜歡) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.

　　Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.
