15. There is a wide variety of new music to be discovered in every corner of the world, so the next time you look for a tape or a CD, dont just look for Chinese or American music—open your ears to the sounds of the world!
1)variety意为“多样性,种类,变化”, a variety of=various, different kinds of。
This shop has a variety of toys. 这家商店有各种各样的玩具。
2)to be discovered为不定式的被动结构作后置定语。在there be句型中, 不定式常用主动结构, 此时的重点在于做动作的人。而用被动结构时, 重点在动作本身, 两者并无实质性的差别。
Theres a lot of water to drain (to be drained) from the playground.
操场上有很多水要排出去。
There are still many important things to take care of (to be taken care of). 仍有一些重要的事情要处理。
3)句中的the next time可看作连词, 引导时间状语从句。一些时间名词构成的短语常可引导时间状语从句。由time构成的名词词组有the first/last time, each/every time, next time, all the time, any time等。

简每次来都给我带来一本好书。
the minute, the instant, the second与the moment用法相同, 意为“一……就……”。

副词immediately和directly也可作连词, 引导时间状语从句。

他一到家就给父母打了电话。
典型例题
I thought her nice and honest ____ I met her.
A. first time B. for the first time
C. the first time D. by the first time
解析:C 考查the first time和for the first time的区别。这句话的意思是:第一次和她见面时, 我就认为她优雅诚实。选项A语法错误, 不能作为答案。D项的意思是“到第一次……之前”, 很容易排除。for the first time的意思是“第一次”(例如:I met her yesterday for the first time. ),一般直接作状语, 后面不跟从句。The first time后面多跟宾语从句。the first time I met her相当于时间状语从句when I first met her,正合题意。
16. It is a world of magic and wonders, a world where anything can happen.
1)a world of…一个……的世界
in the world在世界上
2)wonder有两种含义:不可数名词“惊奇”; 可数名词“奇迹, 奇观”。
She stared at me in/with great wonder. 她惊奇地看着我。
The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world.
长城是世界上的奇迹之一。
(Its)no wonder (that)…难怪, 不足为奇。
(Its)no wonder (that) he wont come. 难怪他不想来。
不及物动词的用法如下:
wonder at something/doing something对……感到惊讶/惊奇

我对你允许他做那样的事情感到很惊讶。

解析:B此处a都表示“一个”的概念。
17. …it was almost as if the creature was watching them.
as if(=as though)意为“像, 好像, 似乎”, 只作连词, 引导状语从句, 通常用虚拟语气, 表示与事实相反的情况。如表示与现在事实相反, 动词一般用过去式形式(be动词用were);与过去事实相反, 动词用过去完成式形式。as if与as though同义。
She loves the boy as if/though she were his mother.
她像母亲一样爱这个孩子。(她不是孩子的母亲)
He looked as if he had known the answer.
看起来他好像已经知道这个答案似的。(其实不知道)
as if后面可直接跟分词或不定式。

他目不转睛地盯着那姑娘, 好像第一次看见她。
考点对接

A. seeing B. having seen C. to have seen D. to see

18. You must believe in what you do and who you are if you want to succeed in the world—the magical world of Hogwarts and the real one.

(2)信仰, 信奉
We believe in Marxism. 我们信仰马克思主义。
典型例题
I know he is an honest man. That is why I ____ him all the time. But I dont ____ what he told me just now.
A. believe in; believe in B. believe in; believe
C. believe; believe in D. believe; believe
解析:B 本题考查同义词的用法辨异。believe表示相信某人所说的话, 后面可接表人或故事、讲话等的名词, 也可接宾语从句。believe in表示对某人或某事有信心或表示某种信仰、主张, 其宾语可以是宗教、教别、神、佛等, 还可接动名词。
19. The noise seemed to be coming from the room behind the statue in front of them.
seemed to be coming中的to be doing为动词不定式的进行式作复合谓语。在seem, appear, happen(碰巧), be said/reported/known等后可接动词不定式的一般式、进行式或完成式作复合谓语。
The girl appeared to be waiting for someone.=It appeared that the girl was waiting for someone. 那女孩似乎在等人。
典型例题
Look at the woman over there. She seems ____ for something.
A. to be looking B. to have looked C. look D. is looking
解析:A seem后接不定式的进行式, 表示当时正在进行的动作。
20. If only they could find a way to get to the room, or whatever it was, behind the wall.
If only虽然是从属连词, 但它引导的从句却能单独成句, 且能表达完整的意思:“要是……该多好”——一种不能实现或难以实现的愿望。它相当于wish,但语气更强。句后用句号或感叹号皆可。
(1)表示已过去了的不能实现的愿望, 常含有后悔、惋惜之意, 谓语动词应使用had done形式。
If only I had taken his advice!要是我听从了他的建议就好了!
(2)表达现在不可实现的愿望, 谓语动词用一般过去时。
If only I could swim! 我要是会游泳该多好!
(3)表达将来难以实现的愿望, 谓语动词用would/could+动词原形或一般过去时。
If only she would help me!要是她能帮我就好了!
辨析:only if意为“只要, 只有……才”, 表示一种条件, only是一个副词, 用来加强语气。only if置于句首时, 后接的句子要用倒装语序。
Only if the teacher has given permission is a student allowed to enter this room. 只有得到教师的允许, 学生才可以进这间屋。
典型例题
Look at the trouble I am in!If only I ____ your advice.
A. followed B. would follow C. had followed D. should follow
解析:C 本题考查虚拟语气用法。句意为:瞧瞧我这些麻烦!我要是听你的就好了。题干中第二个句子是由if only引起的虚拟语气, 表示强调愿望。这个句子又是省略句, 主句部分被省略。非真实的条件从句与过去事实相反。
