of的意思有时等于from ,但是在这里of仅仅表示部分(what little there is )与整体(my spare time)的关系,它的双重词义是:“…的”以及“从…之中夺取”的;因此,of和from二者词义在这里是不同的。至于in 和at ,都与本题内容无干。

5. 此题系2001年之(29)题
The warmth of ________ sweater will of course be determined by the sort of
_______ wool used .
A. the ; the B. the ; 不填 C. 不填; the D. 不填 ; 不填
答案 :B通过率 :36%
测试语言点 :冠词用法。
要吸取的经验 :
冠词的应用能力,只能在实践中获取。冠词使用的理论规则只有一句话 :使用the表示“特指”,使用a , an 或者不使用任何冠词均表示“泛指”。“毛衣”自然是指“这件”。所用“毛料”似乎并非是指“一般毛料,” 但是,the (a)sort [sorts] of wool与 the(a)kind [kinds] of book ,the(a)type[types]of car ,等等词组后面都跟名词单数不加任何冠词。还有,乐器,球类 ,山川,国名等都有固定的冠词用法规则可循。实践---经验---语感是学习冠词的唯一胜利之路。

A. will play B. have played C. played D. play
答案 :D 通过率 :41%
测试语言点 :时态的应用。与第24题相同。
要吸取的经验 :
一般现在时表示平时一般情况。这句的意思是 :我(平时)乒乓打得不错,可是新的一年里,还没有空闲时间打乒乓呢。现在完成时表示现在已经完成某个行为,并且在现在有了结果。I have played ping-pong hundreds of times for over 5 years, but I haven’t made much progress in my skills and techniques . 一般过去时表示过去的一般情况,强调是过去的时间性。I played ping-pong an hour a day in my childhood , but now I simply can’t afford the time .一般将来时表示将来的一般情况。I hope I will play ping-pong over two hours and a half a day when I’m retired .顾名思义,学习英语的16种时态,只要知道它们的名称便可得知其基本概念和用法。
16个时态,用16句话,便可以讲解完毕。时态必须在语篇中学习,才能真正掌握。
7 . 此题系2001年之(31)题
A computer can only do ________ you have instructed it to do.
A. how B. after C. what D. when
答案 :C 通过率 :74%
测试语言点 :名词从句,状语从句与动词不定式的协调应用。
要吸取的经验 :
类似第27题,这个短句子要作为一个“整体”看待。上文的do与下文的do都要兼顾。上文的do, do什么?下文的do又do什么?不回答这两个问题,便会顾头不顾尾,选择失误。试对比下面句子的不同上下文 :
A computer can only do __what__ you have instructed it to do.
A computer can do nothing __when__ you haven’t instructed it to work .
A computer can only do something __after__ you have instructed it to do so.
A computer does not know __how_ human beings constructed robots ----
its new generation .

Visitors _are requested(are asked) not to touch the exhibits .
Visitors _request _ the guide not to show them around such a large hall with so many
