22、”，是介词，后接名词，代词做宾语。while意为“在期间”，是连词，引导时间状语从句。考试题(浙江)The incomes of skilled workers went up._，unskilled workers saw their earnings fall.A.Moreover B.ThereforeC.Meanwhile D.Otherwise答案与解析：C 句意：有经验的工人的工资在上涨，但同时没经验的工人却看着他们的工资下降。根据句意是指有经验工人和非技术工人工资涨落的对比情况，meanwhile意为“同时”，故选C项。用meanwhile,during或while的适当形式填空

24、edicine to cure your headache.我可以给你点药治你的头痛。词语辨析cure,treat,heal与recovercure为及物动词，意为“治疗；治愈”，多用于用药物治疗并治愈某种疾病或改正不良习气。treat为日常用语，及物动词，意为“治疗；医治”，指治疗病人的全过程或活动。heal可为及物或不及物，意为“治愈(伤口)；医治，(伤口)愈合”，指治好外伤或烧伤后的患部，使伤口愈合，不用于治感冒等疾病。recover为不及物动词，意为“痊愈，康复”，主要是指从病中痊愈了，常与from连用。预测题I heard your father was badly ill in h

27、注意区别。在be permitted to do sth.中，to do sth.不可用doing sth.来代替。词语辨析allow与permit两者后面都能接名词或动名词作宾语，以不定式作宾补，通常可以互换。permit表示“允许，许可”时语气较强，有赋予权利之意，常用于法律、规章制度等方面。allow是常用语，一般指听任或默认某人去做某事，仅仅表示不想妨碍之意。allow可用来表示客气的请求。考试题(北京市崇文区)Marias father is very strict with her and wont allow _ to fail.Aher Bhim Cherself Dhimse

28、lf 答案与解析：A 由句意知人称代词应为与Maria一致的her，构成短语allow sb.to do sth.“允许某人做某事”。故选A项。预测题Im sorry.I cant give you the telephone number without Mr.Smiths _.Apermission BallowingCagreement Dperformance答案与解析：Apermission许可，允许；without permission未经许可；allowing允许，承认；agreement同意，一致；协定，协议；performance履行，执行；表演，演奏。句意：对不起，未经史密
