Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1．(2011·江苏改编)We'd better discuss everything ________detail before we work out the plan.
答案：in 句意：我们最好在制订计划之前详细地讨论一切事情。in detail详细地。
2．________(approach) the city centre, we saw a stone statue of about 10 metres in height.
答案：Approaching 句意：靠近城市中心时，我们看见一座大约10米高的石雕。逻辑主语we与approach之间是主动关系，且approach与saw几乎同时发生。
3．Stephen was chosen ________(represent) the company at the conference.
答案：to represent 句意：Stephen被选出代表公司参加会议。
4．Studies show that people who like sitting in the office for hours without a break are more ________ to suffer from back problems.
答案：likely 句意：研究表明，喜欢长时间坐在办公室里不休息的人更可能得背部疾病。likely，possible和probable都意为“可能的”，但只有likely可用于sb.be likely to do sth.句型。
5．The old couple, ________ lived in the small village for years，can tell the names of all the villagers.
答案：having 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，主语The old couple和live之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且句中有表示一段时间的时间状语for years，因此用live的现在分词的完成式。
6．I know it's normal for such a thing to happen, but we ________(avoid) it if we'd been more careful.
答案：could/might/would/should have avoided 考查虚拟语气。句意：我知道发生这样的事情是正常的，但如果我们更小心一点儿的话，这样的事是可以避免的。根据句中的“if we'd been more careful”可知，此处表示与过去事实相反的假设，故用could/might/would/should have done结构。
