PartⅢ：VocabularyandStructure。
31.[译文]尽管这位教授自己很守时，但他已经习惯了学生上课迟到。
答案为D。这是一道考察固定搭配的试题。be/become/getusedto，此外to为介词，后面跟名词性成份，它有别于usedto+不定式，(过去常常)。
32.[译文]如果你对顾客这耐心点，我相信他有可能会买着块表。
答案为B。本题测试习惯用法patientwithsomebody(有耐性的)，e.g.Bepatientwithachild,bepatientofsth.(能忍受)
33.[译文]这两个到大学求职的年轻人都没被聘用。
答案为C。本题测试的是语法中的一致性，从句子的结构来看，我们应选用一般过去时，而不用现在完成时，另外，当either，neither做主语时，谓语应用单数，而“either，neither+of短语”做主语时，谓语也常用单数。(Neitherofthestudentshasturnedinthepaperstotheteacher)。
34.[译文]这个箱子太重了，你能帮我一下吗
答案为B。本题测试惯用法，当我们表示请求时，可以有以下几种表达方法。
Wouldyouliketogo

37.[译文]人们喜欢和他在一起工作，因为他富有幽默感。

38.[译文]这个疯子被关进一间用软垫防护的小室内，以免他弄伤自己。
答案为A。这是一道语法测试题。英语语法中，在由lest(书面语)引起的从句中一般要用虚拟语气，谓语动词由should+动词原形构成，其中should可以省略，所以我们应选择A项。
39.[译文]我们爱好和平，但我们不是那种屈从于武力威胁的人。
答案为B。本题测试动词和介词的搭配。yieldtosb./sth.是习惯用法，意思为“屈服，让步”，而yieldupsth.表示“放弃，根据题意，我们应选择B)。
40.[译文]尽管对这个领域大量研究成果他知之甚少，但在那些所知比他多的人失败的地方他却取得了成功。
答案为D。本题测试的是定语从句的用法。在改用定语从句时，主要是要弄清先行词是什么，而后再选择关系词，本题中关系词所指的是“thefield”表地点，所以应用关系副词where，故我们选D项。
41.[译文]如果自来水象某些人想的那样危险，我们中的许多人都会得病了。
答案为D。本题测试的是限定词的位置关系。用more来限定lot时，应置于lot之后，其它的说法都不符合习惯用法，故应选D项。
42.[译文]生活在澳大利亚沙漠中有许多不便，其中获取水还不是最不便的。
答案为C。这是一道定语从句的考查题。本句为一个非限定性定语从句，从先行词problems和引导词which之间的意思，我们要用介词of，故我们选择C项。

[A]compare
[B]responsible
[C]useful
[D]added
[E]find
[F]reference
[G]indirect
[H]method
[I]successful
[J]combined
[K]Necessarily
[L]capacity
[M]ability
[N]Basically
[O]adopt
【答案】
1.选B)。此处应填形容词。原文意思为“会计部门...计算报酬”，选项中的形容词responsible“负责任的”，useful“有用的”，indirect“间接的”，successful“成功的”，其中indirect不能与for连用，排除;剩余几项中只有B)responsible意义符合原句，其他均不符合，故排除。
2.选O)。此处应填动词原形。本文主题就是采用一种新的工资和薪水制度时需要注意的问题，选项中的动词原形有compare“比较”，find“找到”，adopt“采纳”，分别带入原文，只有adopt最符合原文意思，故选O).
3.选H)。此处应填名词。从原文看，and连接并列结构，所以要填的词应与and后面的ways意思一致，选项中的名词只有mathod=ways，故选H)method。
4.选I)。此处应填形容词。上文说新的工资制度需要一套决定工作评估和衡量雇员表现的方法，说的是制度“是否有用”的问题。这句说的时新的工资制度执行过程中的问题，劳资双方先期达成一致是薪酬制度成功的必要条件。形容词useful和successful，I)seccessful更符合原文意思。
5.选D)。此处应填动词。这个动词的宾语是point“分值”，把分值...起来togiveatotalvalue得出总分值，选项中有added和combined，前者指“把...相加”，后者意为“把...结合在一起”，原文指将分值相加得出总分，故D)added最符合文意。
6.选M)。此处应填名词。首先solveproblem“解决问题”是经理们应具备的能力，选项中的capacity与ability都可以表示“能力”;前者强调的是理解的能力和接受事物的能力，而后者强调实际应用的能力，故不难判断解决问题的能力应该用M)ability。
7.选F)。此处应填名词。前半句指出“因为管理工作很难评估，经理的工作得分不需要参照基于分值的评估系统决定。”withoutreferenceto为固定搭配，意思是“与...无关”。故选F)reference。
8.选A)。此处应填动词原形。原句中出现了thevalueofeachjob“每种工作的价值”和theseinthejobmarket“工作市场上的(工作价值)”，说明人事部门通过比较两种价值来计算工资制度。选项中只有compare表示“比较”，所以A)正确。
9.选K)。此处应填副词，修饰整句话。“报酬要随工作表现各方面的不同而有所改变”，选项中Necessarily“必须地”与Basically“基本地”为副词，分别带入原文，“报酬...的变化是必须的”更符合上下文意思，故排除N),选K)。
10.选G)。此处应填形容词。前文中提到一种情况即simpletomeasuretheworkdone易于评估的工作，通常用现金奖励办法;而...measurementisdifficult“难于评估的”，说明这些工作人员的工作不像手工工作那么直接，因而是间接的，故选项中只有G)indirect符合原句的意思。
