We tried to mollify her by telling her that she had misunderstood the remark and then, under his breath, Fillmore said something to me in English – something about giving her a little soft soap.

我们想叫她平静下来，便说她误解了那句话，然后菲尔莫又低声用英语对我说了句什么—似乎是说要我奉承她几句。

Based on the new systematic classifications of S-O positional exchange in Chinese simple sentences, this paper, from the perspective of symmetric relation of mutuality, proposes a new explanation of semantic symmetry that the subject and object in SVO structure can be exchanged if they are two things which are semantically symmetric and the common semantic element in such sentences is the mutually symmetric semantic relation.

相互关系是一种对称性关系，从这个角度入手，主宾可互易的存现句、某些表心理感知类语义的以及表分配类的句子都可纳入相互关系义句，这样主宾互易现象从相互关系这种对称性语义关系角度就有了新的解释－语义上具有对称性关系的两个事物表现在主动宾结构中的主宾位置是可以互易的，这些主宾互易句里的共同语义因素就是相互对称性关系语义。

If I should see him this afternoon, I would give the note to him.If there were to be a meeting this evening, I would come.If it tomorrow, we put off the visit to the Yangpu Bridge.('94上海)A. rains; would have had to B. were to rain; will have toC. should rain; would have to D.

析：选C。根据语境中所给时间状语tomorrow可知，这是表示将来的条件状语从句，本句可使用陈述语气(条件句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时)，也可使用与将来事实相反的虚拟语气条件句用did/were to do/should do。。。，主句用would do。。。

A Some environmentalists are againstthe projecton biological grounds（on..grounds/on the grounds of..根据）.D They're what will keep the bridge fromgoing anywhere.F They will tip up the scales at 166, 500 tons – more than half the bridge's totalmass.Getting these cables up will be something. It is not just their length –totally 5.3 kilometers – but their weight.

F。 分析：思路特点：注意空格后句中的词语使用特点：空格前出现了their length， their weight，根据前句内容判断their指"these cables"，空格前句内容的重点在重量上， F具体提到了有关重量的数据166， 500 tons，因此F是答案。

Notice the topic sentence is usually the first or the last sentence of a paragraph .

注意主题句经常是一个自然段的第一句或最后一句。

The village seemed deserted, the only sign of life being an ugly-looking black goat tied to a tree on a short length of rope in a field nearby.

这句话没有谓语动词，不是完整的语句，没有连接词，简单句之间用逗号分开，没有连接词，逗号后面的内容是一个独立主格结构，进一步对前句作一个补充解释。

Occasionally, but seldom, he played at whist, and then care was taken to select partners worthy of him--sometimes they were ambassadors, sometimes archbishops, or sometimes a prince, or a president, or some dowager duchess. Such was the man whose carriage had just now stopped before the Count of Monte Cristo's door. The valet de chambre announced M. de Villefort at the moment when the count, leaning over a large table, was tracing on a map the route from St. Petersburg to China.

他的妻子代他去拜客，这已是社会上所公认的事了，他们以为法官工作繁重而谅解了他，实际上他却是出于一种傲慢的想法，这正是贵族的本质——的确，他实践了"只要你自以为了不起，别人也就会以为你了不起"这句格言，这句格言在我们这个社会里比起希腊人的那句"认识你自己，"实在是更有用，而我们却用那比较省力而更有利的"认识别人"

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
