答案与解析:
1.our communication would not have been so efficient and convenient
虚拟语气的用法,but for 要不是,假若没有 ,在句子开头引导虚拟语气。需要注意的是,除了but for以外,能够表示虚拟条件的词和短语还包括:but that、without、otherwise、or等。
2.nothing is more helpful than humor/ a sense of humor
more than 比 多 ;幽默感sense of humor
3.but he refused to make further explanation(注意时态)
拒绝做某事:refuse to do;进一步make further explanation
4.while animal behavior depends mainly upon their instinct
本题句型考点为while在分句中间做转折连词的用法,词汇考点则为behavior, depend on/upon, instinct等基础词汇的基本用法。此外,根据前半句得出,behavior在这里用单数表示行为概念。
5.should he lie to the court / is he allowed to lie to the court
当句子中出现under no circumstances时,其后用部分倒装;对某人撒谎:lie to sb.
