2009年12月大學(xué)英語四級真題

87.You would not have failed if you had followed my orders/instructions. （按照我的指令去做）

如果你當(dāng)時(shí)按照我的指令去做，就不會(huì)失敗。

解析：此處為虛擬語氣，是對過去情況的假設(shè)：主句用would have done結(jié)構(gòu)，從句用had done結(jié)構(gòu)。此外“follow one’s instructions/orders”意思為“按照某人的指令”。

88. Despite the hardship he encountered, Mark never gave up the pursuit of knowledge/gave up pursuing knowledge. (放棄對知識的追求).

89. Scientists agree that it will be a long time before we find the methods of curing cancers. (我們找到治愈癌癥的方法).
科學(xué)家承認(rèn)，我們需要很長的時(shí)間才能找到治愈癌癥的方法。

解析：考察before的用法。“it will be some time before……”意為“直到一段時(shí)間后某事才……”當(dāng)然，也可以填寫為before we find the cure for cancers.這里的“the cure for sth.”意思時(shí)治愈某病的方法。
