D．takeoff參考答案：A略3.---Areyouhappynow?---IfonlyI_____slimmer,morebeautiful,richer,moreclever.A.am B.were C.hadbeen D.shouldbe參考答案：B【詳解】考查虛擬語氣。句意：——你現(xiàn)在快樂嗎？——要是我更苗條、更漂亮、更富有、更聰明就好了。根據(jù)上文now以及ifonly可知是表示與現(xiàn)在情況不同：ifonly＋從句主語＋動詞過去式。故選B。【點睛】Ifonly:常常用來表示強烈的愿望，因為用于虛擬語句時和wish類似，表達強烈的遺憾或與真實條件不符的愿望。因而使用起來的形式與wish相同。①表示與將來情況不同：ifonly＋從句主語＋would(could,might)+動詞原形；eg：Ifonlyshewouldtryagain.我希望她能再試一次②表示與現(xiàn)在情況不同：ifonly＋從句主語＋動詞過去式；eg：IfonlyIwasn’tgoingtoLondon.我希望我沒去過倫敦.③表達與過去情況不同：ifonly＋從句主語＋would/couldhave/had＋過去分詞。eg：Ifonlyyouhadcometomybirthdayparty.你要是來了我的生日晚會就好了。4.There'snobusnow,andwecan'tgethome_______bytaxi.A.ratherthan

50.the本文是一篇故事。由于電燈的出現(xiàn)，蠟燭市場需求突然下滑；一家蠟燭和肥皂工廠的工人無意中把充滿氣體的混合物充進了肥皂，生產(chǎn)出了能夠漂浮的“IvorySoap”。【41題詳解】考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。本文講述過去發(fā)生的事情，所以使用一般過去時，且本句主語candlesandpiecesofsoap與動詞produce構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，所以使用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)。故填wereproduced。【42題詳解】考查名詞。空格處在本句中做介詞短語asaresultof的賓語，故用名詞形式invention（發(fā)明）。句意：因為愛迪生的發(fā)明，蠟燭的市場突然下滑。故填invention。【43題詳解】考查連詞。句意：對Mr.Procter和Mr.Gamble來說，目前的情況好像沒有希望了，但是一個事故挽救了他們的公司。上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故填but。【44題詳解】考查動詞的固定用法。動詞短語forgettodosth忘記要做某事；forgetdoing忘記做某事；句意：1879年一個健忘的工人去吃飯的時候忘記要把機器關(guān)掉。根據(jù)語境可知，應(yīng)該使用forgettodosth。故填tostop。【45題詳解】考查動名詞。句意：沒有把這些混合物扔掉，他把它充進了肥皂里。在英語中介詞的后面通常接名詞、代詞或動名詞做賓語，本句中要使用動名詞做of的賓語。故填throwing。【46題詳解】考查形容詞比較級。因為肥皂里有氣泡，所以這種新肥皂要比水還要輕。所以要使用比較級形式lighter。故填lighter。【47題詳解】考查副詞。句意：自然地，它能夠漂浮起來。副詞通常在句中做狀語修飾形容詞副詞動詞或整個句子。本句中naturally在句中做狀語修飾整個句子。故填Naturally。【48題詳解】考查固定短語。短語toone’ssurprise讓某人驚訝的是，其中要使用所有格one’s修飾surprise。句意：讓他們驚訝的是他們收到了很多顧客的來信要求購買這種肥皂。故填their。【49題詳解】考查介詞。動詞短語receivesthfromsb收到來自某人的某物；句意：讓他們驚訝的是他們收到了很多顧客的來信要求購買這種肥皂。故填from。【50題詳解】考查定冠詞。不定冠詞a/an表示泛指，定冠詞the表示特指；本句中定冠詞the修飾soap，特指能夠漂浮的肥皂。故填the。20.請用方框中單詞或短語的正確形式完成句子，并將答案寫在相應(yīng)位置上。curious
