参考答案与详解
1．[译文]这类犯罪可能非常复杂，以至于在被发现之前时间都已经过去几个月甚至几年了。
[注释]答案D。本题测试时态。在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，可用一般现在时表示一般将来，用一般过去时表示过去将来。例如：If it rains，the match will be postponed．／She said that she would buy them some toys when she went to Shanghai．
2．[译文]尽管在大城市里长大，Peter却喜欢画农村原始、古朴的风景。
[注释]答案B。raise(vt.养育，饲养，种植)；grow(vi. 生长，成长 vt. 种植，栽种)；tend(vt．照管，护理)；cultivate(vt．耕作，栽培，养殖；培养，陶冶，发展)。cultivate的“培养”着重指在文化等方面进行培养，而raise的“养育”则是普通用词。本题不仅考查词汇，还考语法：题干前半句是一个分词独立主格结构，分词的逻辑主语是Peter，若用不及物动词grow，则和Peter是主动关系，所以应该用grow的现在分词形式；raise和peter则形成被动关系，用raise的过去分词。
3．[译文]这个莽汉因为超速行车而被罚。他不该开得那么快。
[注释]答案C。“should／would／was to／ought to+完成体”表示“本应该做的事情未做”，其否定式表示“本不该做的事却做了”。
4．[译文]要是人们感到绝望了，他们就不会再费劲去学习为成功所需要的技能。
[注释]答案B。adopt(vt. 收养；采取，采纳，采用；正式通过，批准)；acquire(vt．取得，获得，习得)；accumulate(vt．堆积，积累，积聚 vi. 累积，积聚)；assemble(vi. 集合，聚集 vt．集合，聚集，召集；装配)。本题需要填人一个及物动词。
5．[译文]如果我以前在学校学习努力些，现在我就会坐在一个舒适的办公室里了。
[注释]答案C。这是一个虚拟句，从句表示与过去事实相反，故而其谓语应该用“had+过去分词”。
6．[译文]这个店员被开除了，因为她被指控欺骗了顾客。
[注释]答案A。accuse(vt．指控，控告，指责)所表达的“指控，控告，非难”比较直接和尖锐，但指控对方的事不一定很严重，有时可与charge通用，其通常搭配为accuse sb. of sth.。charge(vt．控告，指控，指责)，一般用于较严重的错误或罪行，常用结构为charge sb．with sth.。scold(vt．责骂，训斥)；curse(v. 咒骂，诅咒)。
7．[译文]她的所有精力都放在孩子们身上了，几乎没有时间顾及其他。
[注释]答案D。guide(vt．给…导游，给…领路；指导)；aim(vt．把…瞄准，把…对准；使针对，使旨在)；direct(vt．把…对准，针对；管理，指导；给…指路；指示，命令；导演，指挥)；focus(v. <使>聚集，<使>集中，聚焦)。
8．[译文]在穿行山区的时候，所有的人都拿着枪，唯恐遭到野兽的袭击。
[注释]答案A。lest(唯恐)、in case(假设，万一)、for fear that(以免)引导的目的状语从句中，应切记其虚拟语气的谓语动词为may／might／can／could／should+动词原形，情态动词可省略。此类题一般都要用would+动词原形作为干扰项，记忆不准确的同学，很容易在这上面出错误。其实只要排除了would+动词原形的干扰项，问题也便迎刃而解了。
9．[译文]每个人都应该有资格生活得体面些，并且享有受教育的机会。
[注释]答案B。attribute(vt．把…归因于，把<过错、责任等>归于)；entitle(vt．给…权利，给…资格；给<书、文章等>题名)；identify(vt. 认出，鉴定；把…等同于vi.认同)；justify(vt．证明…正当或有理，为…辩护)。
10．[译文]他妻子总是跟他找岔儿，这让他很恼火。
[注释]答案C. error(n. 错误，差错)；shortcoming(n. 短处，缺点)；fault(n. 缺点，毛病；错误，过失，过错；故障)，find fault with(抱怨，找岔子，挑剔)是一个短语；flaw(n. 缺点，瑕疵，缺陷)，这是一个六级词汇。
11．[译文]维生素是身体少量需要的一种复杂的物质。
[注释]答案D。matter(n. 物质，物品)；material(n. 材料，原料；素材，资料)；particle(n. 微粒，颗粒，粒子)；substance(n. 物质；实质)；matter指“物质”时只指“占据一定空间并能被一种或多种感觉感知到的东西(Something that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses；a physical body，a physical substance，or the universe as a whole)”，而substance除上述意思外，还有“特定种类或具有特定成分的物质(A material of a particular kind or constitution)”的含义。
12．[译文]除了照顾孩子，她还得承担挑水、挑柴等很费时间的家务活。
[注释]答案C。time-consuming是一个复合形容词，意为“耗时的”。
13．[译文]Anna正在读科幻小说，完全忘记了外面的世界。
[注释]答案D。在表示“失去，丢失，丧失；迷失，使迷路；使沉溺于”等意义时，lose是及物动词，lose作不及物动词表示“受损失；失败，输；<钟表>走慢”。本句中lose显然是及物动词的含义，且其后没有宾语，所以lost和逻辑主语Anna是被动关系，故而应用其过去分词形式。本题考查内容实际上是分词短语作状语。
14．[译文]警察正在试图查明这起交通事故中死亡女性的身份。
[注释]答案D。evidence(n. 根据，证据，迹象)；recognition(n. 认出，识别；承认，确认，认可；赏识，表彰，报偿)；status(n. 地位，身份)，侧重指“相对于其他人而言的地位、身份(position relative to that of others)”；identity(n. 身份；个性，特征；同一性，一致性)，指“身份”时侧重指“从本质上确认或识别某物的一系列特征的总和(The collective aspect of the set of characteristics by which a thing is
definitively recognizable or known)”。

17．[译文]要没有他们的帮助，我们这次调查不可能取得成功。
[注释]答案C. besides(ad．而且，此外<还>prep. 除…之外，<还>)；regardless of(不管，不顾)；but for(倘没有，要不是)原来是一个六级短语，95年6月考过；despite(prep．不管，不顾)。

[注释]答案A。fierce(a. 凶猛的，残酷的，好斗的；狂热的，强烈的；猛烈的，激烈的，狂暴的)；strained(a. 紧张的；做作的，矫饰的)；eager(a. 热切的，渴望的)；critical(a. 决定性的，关键性的，危急的；批评的，批判的)。
21．[译文]他们总是将空座位给先来的人。
[注释]答案A。to后面是一个介词宾语从句，空格部分是该宾语从句的主语，故而用whoever(=no matter who)而不用whomever。
22．[译文]在非洲，那些有幸上大学的人所花的教育费用很低。
[注释]答案8。ambitious(a. 有抱负的，雄心勃勃的；有野心的)；fortunate(a. 幸运的，侥幸的)；aggressive(a. 侵犯的，侵略的;挑衅的；敢做敢为的，有进取心的)；substantial(a. 可观的，大量的；牢固的，结实的；实质的，真实的)。本题最大的干扰项是A)。

26．[译文]他说司机肯定出什么事了，否则他应该在那时候已经到达了。
[注释]答案A。《大学英语四级考试专项训练》中将这种虚拟语气称为“含蓄型虚拟语气”。含蓄型虚拟语气是指if条件句不出现，而用某些词或短语表示虚拟条件(主句不变)，或靠上下文的衬托表示虚拟条件的形式。因从句不出现，故称含蓄型虚拟语气。通常由without，but for(要不是)，were it not for(要是没有)连接的短语和otherwise(否则)，or(否则)为标志。其主要涉及主句的谓语动词形式，并且与普通型主句的谓语动词相同，也分为与现在、过去和将来事实相反的三种情形。在四级考题中，一般出现的是与过去事实相反的情形。这类试题的解题关键在于准确判断整句话的时间背景。

28．[译文]这种练习该结束了。
[注释]答案C。It's(high，about)time that……的句型中应采用虚拟语气，表示早该做还未做的一种意思，其从句谓语用过去时或should+动词原形。be为单数时多用was，that常可省略。
29．[译文]只要公共交通的收费合理些，城市的拥挤状况将大大缓解。
[注释]答案B。fee(n. 费，酬金)，专指律师等专业人员所收的费用；fare(n. <车、船、飞机等>费，票价)，指付交通工具的费用；payment(n. 支付的款项；支付，付款)；cost(n. 价格，成本，费用；代价，损
失)。
