参考答案

　　1.(1)C　because 和as 虽然也表示"因为,由于",但后面需接句子,而句中是短语,故应用thanks to。句意:幸亏你及时帮忙,我们才按时完成了任务。

　　(2)A　考查近义词辨析。thanks to意为"多亏了";because后应加句子;for 表示补充说明的原因。

　　(3)be/get rid of

　　2.B　考查动词短语辨析。stick to "坚持";lead to "导致,引起;通往";turn to "求助,转向,查阅";refer to "指的是;谈论,查阅"。由句意"大学生都在学习课程,以取得学位"可知,答案为B项。

　　3.(1)focus attention on teaching　(2)focused;on

　　4.B　考查不定式作定语的用法。当名词前面有序数词或last,next等词修饰时,名词后面多用不定式作定语。

　　5.(1)B　考查would rather do sth这一结构的用法。而do,will和should都不能与rather 搭配。would rather (not) do sth意为"宁愿(不愿意)做某事"。

　　(2)A　would rather not have done意为"本不想做......(实际却做了)"。后一句句意为:否则我现在已经完成了我的文件。所以前句表示"本不想看球赛却看了",故选A项。
