12、事实的让步状语从句中，叙述的是已成立的事实)；however 然而(较正式，虽与 but意思相同，但比 but弱，且把相反的概念放到极为次要的地位，因此常常用来做插入语，还可较婉转地引出最后决定或结论)；because 是从属连词，多表示所叙述的理由是本句的重点，引导原因状语从句；on account of 因为，由于(引导名词形短语，不能引导从句)；所以 C为答案。第 13题 Leading stress management experts say that life with stress would be dull and_.A disorderlyB time-consumingC

42、案解析】结构应用。此句是倒装句 hardlywhen的用法。从属连词 no soonerthan，hardlywhen，scarcelywhenbefore 通常需在主句中采用部分倒装的形式。这种句型一般用过去完成时，强调一个动作紧跟在一个动作后面发生此句意为“原有的犯罪行为还没得到制裁，新的犯罪行为又出现了。”所以选项 A正确。第 12题 When they broke open the door, they found a strange man lied on the floor unconscious.A layB laidC lainD lying【正确答案】：D【本题分数】：1.0
43、 分【答案解析】副词应用。根据本句内容，划线部分应填部分是分词作宾语补足语；因此处宾补与宾语(a strange man)之间是主动关系，所以应填现在分词，选项 D是答案。四、Reading Comprehension（共 25小题,共 25.0分）In this section you will find after each of the passages a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with four (A, B, C and D) suggested answers or
