Ten years ago the population of our village was____ that of theirs.
A. as twice large as
B. twice as large as
C. twice as much as
D. as twice much as
答案：B
解析：考查英语倍数表示法. 英语倍数表示法一般采用以下三种句式: 1、倍数+as+形容词原级+as, 2、倍数+形容词比较级+than, 3、倍数 + the +名词（length, width, height等等）+ of . 只有B、C形式正确, 另外, population 不可以说much, 只能用large, big作表语。故选B。
应试建议：比较状语从句相对来说是一个比较简单的语法，比较容易理解，易考点也不多，同学们只要把几个易考点把握住就可以。
Did you go to the show last night?
Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area____invited.
A. were
B. have been
C. has been
D. was
答案：D
解析：由and连接的两个名词同时被every, each或no修饰时, 谓语动词用单数。再从问话的 last night可以看出, 应为过去式。
应试建议：此题既考查了时态又考查了主谓一致，在高考中这是很常见的，主谓一致这个语法并不是很难，只要同学们把基本的几个点记住就可以了，但时态问题同学们一定要予以重视。
Though we don't know what was discussed, yet we can feel the topic____.
A. had changed
B. will change
C. was changed
D. has been changed
答案：D
解析：从what was discussed, 可知事情已经发生. 从can feel可知说的是现在的情况. 应用完成时, 表示过去一动作对现在造成的影响. 又topic 对change是被动关系. 故选D。
应试建议：时态和语态结合出现是每年高考必考项目之一，请同学们平时多加练习。
__around the Water Cube, we were then taken to see the Bird's Nest for the 2008 Olympic Games.
A. Having shown
B. To be shown
C. Having been shown
D. To show
答案：C
解析：非谓语动词作状语, 其逻辑主语就是主句的主语. show与We为被动关系, 且发生在主句谓语动词之前, 应该用完成式。故选C, 现在分词的完成被动式。
应试建议：非谓语动词是高考的重难点，希望同学们注重一点一滴的积累。
He doesn't have __furniture in his room—just an old desk.
A. any
B. many
C. some
D. much
答案：D
解析：furniture是不可数名词, 排除B. some不用于否定句, 排除C. not any 为完全否定, 与下文just an old desk（仅有一张旧课桌）矛盾, 排除A. 选D, 意为“家具不多”, 正好与just an old desk呼应。
应试建议：名词及限定词在高考中只是一个小的语法点，经常会结合出现，但请同学们也不要忽视，正所谓万丈高楼平地起，没有一点一滴的积累，高考是无法取得良好成绩的！
The man pulled out a gold watch, _____were made of small diamonds.
A. the hands of whom
B. whom the hands of
C. which the hands of
D. the hands of which
答案：D
解析：从四个选项的设置不难看出是考察介词加关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句. 再从先行词watch可看出指物, 排除A和B. C项中关系代词应放在介词之后, 如改为of which the hands也是可以的。选D, 意为“……钟的指针是用小钻石做成的。
应试建议：从句是高考的重点，尤其是状语从句和定语从句，是每年高考的重点考查项目，同时，定语从句还可以为写作增辉添彩，希望同学们平时多练习，多运用。

解析：从… big —that's not important 可知, 应该是没必要大. 故选needn't.
应试建议： 情态动词是高考的重点，同时也是难点，请同学们平时多练习，多总结。
The message is very important, so it is supposed ____as soon as possible.
A. to be sent
B. to send
C. being sent
D. sending
答案：A
解析：be supposed to do是固定搭配. 又因it（the message）与send因为被动关系, 故用动词不定式的被动语态。
应试建议：非谓语动词一向是高考的重难点，但出题还是有一定的侧重点的，请同学们注重总结，把出错的地方记录下来，反复复习。
Tomorrow is Tom's birthday. Have you got any idea____ the party is to be held.
A. what
B. which
C. that

应试建议：从句一向是高考中的重点，希望大家在学习的过程中注重积累，归纳，总结。
