1.[B]【译文】谁来管理我们并不重要,重要的是他如何管理我们。
【解析】考查强调句型。英语中常用It is/was…who/that结构来强调句子的某一成分(一般是主语、宾语或状语)。在这个句型中,it没有词汇意义,只是引出被强调的成分。在这里被强调的是“谁来管理我们”,在主句中作主语,B符合。
2.[B]【译文】不止一个学生曾经去过长城。
【解析】考查主谓一致。more than one从意义上看,表示复数,但用作主语时,谓语用单数。故选B。
3.[A]【译文】昨晚忙到那么晚,今天早上你本不必来的了。
【解析】情态动词接完成体的用法。“needn’t+have done”表示“本不必做的事情却做了”。A符合旬意。shouldn’t have done表示“本不应该做的事却做了”;can’t have done则表对过去事情的否定推测,译成“不可能做过某事”;没有mustn’t have done的形式。
4.[B]【译文】要是委员会能批准那些规章制度并使之生效就好了。
【解析】if only与I wish一样,用于表示与事实相反的愿望。as possible提示这些规章应该是还没有得到批准认可的.故选D。
5.[B]【译文】我们本打算乘校园车去博物馆的,但它坏了,所以我们不得不坐地铁。
【解析】was/were to have done表示“本打算”、“本计划”做某事却没有做成。我们原本是打算坐校车的,但它却坏了.最后只能坐地铁,因此选B。

【解析】考查时态。她看见是真,而且已经发生,所以用过去时。
