答案与解析
1. C
句意：正如我在电话中解释的，你的建议将在下次会议上被讨论。as引导非限制性定语从句，并指代整个主句your suggestion will be discussed at the next meeting。
2. C
句意：不是你的言语而是你对待我的方式伤害了我。you treat me是way的定语从句，定语从句的引导词在从句中作状语，引导词可以用that， in which或省略。
3. C
句意：根据美国最近的一项调查，孩子们每
周共花25小时看电视。考查spend some time（in）
doing sth.“花时间做某事”。
4. B
句意：那个错误使他丧失了生命。take主语
常为it，常用句型：It takes sb. some time to do sth.
“做某事花了某人多长时间”。cost的主语是物或
事情，意为“花费了什么”，宾语常是时间或钱。
另外，cost还有“代价”的意思，其过去式与原
形相同。pay的主语是人，宾语是钱，常译成“付
款，花钱买东西”。常用结构：pay for…“为……付钱”。
5. D
句意：“你需要花多少钱到西藏旅游？”“我不确定，但是至少花500元。”第一个空cover“够用”，第二个空主语是“到西藏旅游”这件事，用it代替，cost“花多少钱”。pay主语是人，宾语是钱，常译成“付款，花钱买东西”。charge“要价，索价”。

句意：一些青少年正在损害他们的健康，因为他们玩太多的电脑游戏。表现阶段正在进行的动作用现在进行时。
16. A
句意：今年夏天，史密斯博士和他的妻子、女儿们将一起参观北京。考查动词时态和主谓一致。主语中心词是Dr. Smith，表单数，谓语动词用单数形式；together with his wife and daughters修饰Dr. Smith。时间状语是this summer，表计划性的将来，故时态用一般将来时，因此选A项。
17. A
句意：在接见所有候选人之前，不能做任何关于将来约定的决定。
18. A

19. C
句意：在过去的几十年里，由于全球变暖，北极的海洋冰川逐渐减小。时间状语是over the past decades“在过去的几十年里”，要用现在完成时，且表示海洋冰川在过去的几十年里一直在持续减少，故选C。
20. B
句意：“汽油的价格这几天怎么样？”“噢，自从上个月，它急剧上涨。”根据since last month可知应用现在完成时。arise意为“出现，产生”，不符合句意。
21. D
句意：这对老夫妻结婚50年了。marry“娶，嫁”，是短暂性动作。be married表示状态。
