10.be due to, due to
be due(to)有“應付給,應到的,預期的”之意,多用作表語,to不定式符號;而due to表示“由于,起因于”時,to是介詞,相當于because of。如:

They are busy with prepartions, expecting the foreign guests.

We congratulated him on his success/his having succeeded.
我們祝賀他的成功。

三、精典名題導解
題1 (NMET 2001)
The home improvements have taken what little there is _________my spare time.
A.from B.in C.of D.at
分析:C。該題考查介詞用法。由于受in one’s spare time短語的影響,此題易誤選B。此題的最佳答案是C。of在此表示“……中的部分/全部”,與名詞little連用,little of my spare time意思是“僅有的業(yè)余時間”。該句為一個含有感嘆式賓語從句的主從復合句,連接代詞what連同所修飾的在從句中作主語的名詞little提到從句之首。“a little of + 不可數(shù)名詞”表示肯定,意為“一點,少許”;little前無冠詞,表示否定,意為“少到幾乎沒有”。
題2 (上海 2000)
what he said just now _________me of that American professor.]
A.mentioned B.informed C.remind D.memorized
分析:C。句中需要的動詞應該用于“v. + sb. + of sth.”結(jié)構(gòu)中,A、D不能用于此結(jié)構(gòu)。sb. inform sb.of sth.某人通知(報告)某人某事,不合句意。
題3 (NMET 1999)
Your performance in the driving test didn’t reach the required standard
-__________,you failed.
A.in the end B.after all
C.in other words D.at the same time
分析:C。本題考查介詞短語作為連接性附加狀語的用法。從題干看,選項之后是對前面所說內(nèi)容的解釋,in other words表示“換句話說、也就是說”,故為最佳答案。
題4 (NMET 1999)
John may phone tonight. I don’t want to go out__________he phones.
A.as long as B.in order that
C.in case D.so that
分析:C。in case 引導條件狀語從句,意為“萬一,若,以防”,其引出的從句常用陳述語氣。
題5 (上海 2000春)
I shall stay in the hotel all day _________ there is news of the missing child.
A.in case B.no matter C.in any case D.ever since
分析:A。in case 作連詞引導條件狀語從句,意為“萬一,以防!
題6 (NMET 2000)
I don’t think I’ll need any money but I’ll bring some _________.
A.at last B.in case C.once again D.in time
分析:B。in case可以位于句尾,相當于一個副詞詞組。
題7 (NMET 2001)
It is generally believed that teaching is _______it is a science.
A.an art much as B.much an art as
C.as an art much D.as much an art as
分析:D。該題考查語序。題干是一個含有主語從句的主從復合句,it作形式主語,that引導的主語從句置于句子后部。在這個主語從句中,又含有一個as…as引導的比較狀語從句,表示相同程度的比較。第一個as是副詞,修飾形容詞或副詞,強調(diào)程度。當某些副詞如so, as, too, how等用來修飾名詞前的形容詞時,不定冠詞放在該形容詞之后,名詞之前。后一個連詞as引導比較狀語從句。答案為D。
題8 (NMET 2001)
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
分析:B。該題考查冠詞用法。第一空應填定冠詞the, 定冠詞用在單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前表不類屬這一概念而不表示特指。第二空應不填冠詞,物質(zhì)名詞在用來表示一般概念時,通常不加冠詞,B為最佳選項。

Mark Shuttleworth is just 28 years old. He is about to feel out of this world. On April 22, Shuttleworth, who is a South African Internet millionaire, will set off for a dream trip to the International Space Station(ISS).
Taking a Russian Soyuz rocket, Shuttleworth will become the world’s second“space tourist”. Last April, wealthy Californian businessman Dennis Tito, who was 60, paid Russia US$20 million for an eight – day trip to ISS.
By the time he leaves for ISS,Shuttleworth will have had about eight months of full – time training.
“The training includes weightlessness and centrifuge(離心分離機)training, as well as learning how to use communications and control systems,”he said. Shuttleworth hates being called a tourist. He said he will take responsibility(責任)for radio and life support systems in the capsule(太空艙). He will carry out three experiments in space for South Africa. And he hopes to educate young people about space.
Shuttleworth will be met by astronauts at the Space Station. Among them is American Daniel Bursch. Living in space for more than a month now ,Bursch already misses some of the simple pleasures of Earth. In space he cannot, for example, enjoy taking a breath of fresh air on a winter morning.
“My family is probably the number one thing I miss -- like the children coming into my room and waking me up,”Bursch said last month in a space – to – ground interview. Bursch, who is the father of four children,landed at the station last December along with two co - workers. They will be on duty there for five and a half months.

The conflict(沖突)between India and Pakistan goes back more than 50 year.
In 1947,an old country ruled by the British was split(分裂),creating two new states – India and Pakistan ,and various regions in it held votes to decide whether they wanted to a part of India or of Pakistan. The results came in and the new borders were drawn up. But the transition(過渡,轉(zhuǎn)變)had problems, the most serious of which were in Kashmir.
When the deadline for the vote passed, Kashmir had failed to choose whether it wanted to he part of India or Pakistan, therefore leaving the issue(爭議、問題)unsettled.
Apart from the territorial dispute(領土爭端),there are other problems, religion,for example,that makes the situation in Kashmir even more complicated(復雜).
India and Pakistan have fought three wars since gaining independence,and in the last 10 years,fighting in Kashmir has claimed(奪去)the lives of between 30,000 and 60,000 people.
The recent tensions between them started in December 2001,when India’s Parliament building in New Delhi was attacked. India insisted that the attack was staged by Pakistan while Pakistan refused to admit this.
The unsteady situation in South Asia caught the attention of the world mainly because of the threat (威脅) of a nuclear war. Both countries are among only a handful of nuclear powers in the world(the others are the United States, Russia, China , Britain, and France). India and Pakistan shocked the world by testing nuclear weapons within weeks of each other in May 1998. It is believed that now India has about 100 to 150 nuclear warheads (彈頭) and Pakistan 25 to 50.
The international community has been concerned(關切) with the tensions in this area. During a recent meeting aimed at better cooperation in the fight against terrorism (恐怖主義),the European Union and 10 Asian nations including China, Japan and South Korea urged the two nations to take every necessary step to keep the peace.
64. In fact, ________ has been the key issue to have caused conflicts and tensions between India and Pakistan.
A. the issue of Kashmir
B. religion
C. Pakistan’s independence from British rule
D. the attack of India’s Parliament building.
65. According to the passage ,mainly because of _______, the recent tensions between the two nations concern the world most.
A. the cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
B. the independence of Kashmir.
C. the threat of nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
D. the number of lives lost in the fighting in Kashmir in the last 10 years.
66. The word“cooperation”in the last paragraph has similar meaning to ______
A. tension B. conflict C. dispute D. acting together
67. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. as a matter of fact , Kashmir belongs to Pakistan.
B. China called on the two nations to take steps to keep the situation from getting worse.
C. mixed with other issues ,the situation in Kashmir becomes more complicated.
D.force and the threat of force cannot solve the conflicts and disputes between nations.

Bulbs(鱗莖) are ideal for new gardeners including children, because they are easy to plant and they always flower well in their first season.They need comparatively little attention, provided that(除了)the soil has been properly prepared, and the place where they are planted is chosen with care. colored or beautifully formed as to be in a class apart from other garden flowers.
However, it is a mistake to buy bulbs without any plan of what effect you really want from them. I have written this book to help in selecting the most suitable bulbs for the typical, small, modern garden of the non – specialist gardener,and have made some suggestions to help readers who may not have had a garden before.
Too many books for beginners tell new gardeners to grow a few“sensible” kinds of plants and leave the more interesting kinds to adventurous experts. For the first few years of one’s gardening life one should, it seems, concentrate on learning simple techniques while admiring the gardens of more experienced neighbors.
In fact, as a learner- gardener you need not fear that your efforts will necessarily show your inexperience,because(and here I give away a most closely – guarded secret), provided the bulbs come from a really reliable source, it is possible to produce as good results in your first year of gardening as in your eightieth.
There are some difficult bulbs that will disappoint you ,especially some lilies(百合花)and a few very small daffodils(黃水仙),but these are often no more attractive than the really easy ones. Therefore, be bold with bulbs;they are a sound investment(投資)for any garden.
68. Inexperienced gardeners are often told that they should________.
A. learn from other gardeners.
B. plant only a few types of plants.
C. get some suggestions from experienced neighbors.
D. make more experiments with plants.
69.Why should new gardeners try growing bulbs?
A. Once planted,little after –care is needed.
B. Their flowers become beautiful and beautiful each year.
C.They are cheap.
D. They can grow anywhere in the garden.
71.Bulbs are described as an investment because__________.
A. the people can appreciate them
B. they make other flowers look beautiful
C. they flower year after year
D. they continue to flower all summer
72.What is this book on gardening about?
A. General advice for gardeners.
B. The choice of bulbs for small gardens.
C. The latest information on new bulbs.
D. Planning on easily maintained(保養(yǎng))garden.

Getting a new PC is one thing. Keeping it running smoothly is quite another . while a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness does exist. Yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below.
First, put in as little software(軟件)as possible. You’ll have fewer software – related problems and a system that is easier to manage.
Second ,you should ensure that you have as much memory (RAM)in your PC as you need. If you run Windows 98,your computer should have at least 128 megabytes(MB) of RAM and more. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you Windows NT or Windows 2000,but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.
Third ,make sure you buy good hardware(硬件). No – name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name – brand products,but name – brand products usually become well – known because of their steadiness. It’s wise to buy products from famous companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. If you are starting out with computers, it’s also a good idea to buy ready – made systems from major manufacturers(制造商). They are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system,and you will generally experience fewer problems.
Fourth, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it , the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully, you will replace it because technology has become out – dated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes(毀掉)or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. That’s why it’s important to copy your important Information regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD – RW drive, it’s important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it .
72.If you want to use Windows 2000,but your computer only has 64 MB. What will you have to do ?
A. Enlarge its RAM to at least 256 MB.
B. Put in good software in your computer.
C. Enlarge its RAM to at least 128 MB.
D. Have Windows NT to match it .
73.How many pieces of advice on buying good hardware does the writer give us?
A. Three B. Two C. One D. Four
74.It can inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. your computer will copy the important information when the system fails.
B. your computer might lose all the information when its hard drive crashes.
C. you have to replace your computer one day.
D. you must change your system regularly.
75.The best title of this passage can be ________.
A. The Tips You Must Follow
B. How to Start out with a Computer.
C. How to Use Your PC Better.
D. How to Keep Your PC Stable(穩(wěn)定)

One possible version:
Dear Editor,
I’ve recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purposes of getting on the Internet. The girls’ favourite is chatting, but few boys like it. What the boys like to do most is playing games and the girls also like it. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e – mails on the Internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information or keep in touch with friends. As for studying,the numbers of boys and girls are equal,but altogether only several of them will use Internet as a tool to study.
