2. ___________ in an atmosphere of simple living was what her parents wished for.

A. The girl to be educated B. The girl educated

C. The girl’s being educated D. The girl was educated

【答案】C

【解析】这里需要一个可以作was主语的成分，同时根据表语从句what her parents wished for可知这里只能使用C项。译文“他们的女儿在简朴的生活气氛中接受教育”。

3. The food was divided _________ according to the age and size of the child.

A. equally B. individually

C. sufficiently D. Proportionally

【答案】D

【解析】proportionally“按比例地，均衡地”；equally“平均地”；sufficiently“充足地”；individually“单独地，个别地”。译文“食物按孩子的年龄来分配”。

4. The number of the people who _______ cars _______ increasing.

A. owns; are B. owns; is C. own; is D. own; are

【答案】 C

【解析】 本句话的定语从句是who own cars. 其先行词是people,因此,定语从句的谓语动词要用复数的own。本句话主句的主语是The number of指“…..的数目”，是单数概念。因此，主句的谓语动词要用is。

5. With more forests being destroyed, huge quantities of good earth _________ each year.

A. is washing away B. is being washed away

C. are washing away D. are being washed away

【答案】 D

【解析】 此题考查了时态、语态和主谓一致两个方面。从前面的with复合结构可以看出句子应用现在进行时，earth和wash away之间是动宾关系，故用现在进行时的被动语态。（huge）quantities of 作定语修饰的名词作主语时，谓语动词与quantities保持一致，用复数，与所修饰的名词无关。
