30、脚留有深刻印象。6D考查非谓语动词。句意：对你们产品的质量印象不佳，我当然不会建议其他人购买。impress sb with sth 表示“给某人留下深刻印象”，I与impress之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作状语。7B考查动词时态和语态。第一空用主动表被动；第二空表示“如果布被铺展在桌子上”。句意：如果布被铺展在桌子上会好量。8B考查非谓语动词。作主语，要用动名词形式，由语境可知，这里指的是太平湖被青山环绕，所以用being done结构。9C考查动词的语态。此处health与measure之间为动宾关系。句意：记住：较好的健康以步行来衡量。多走路，的确感觉不一样！10A考查介词

32、ately大约。14A考查倒装结构。not until用于句首，主句应用部分倒装结构。句意：直到离开了家他才开始知道家庭对他有多么的重要。15D句意：尽管她的腿受伤了，她还是爬上了楼梯。in spite of“尽管；不顾”，为介词短语，其后只能接名词性短语、代词或what引导的句子。manage to do sth“想方设法做成某事”。.A本文着重介绍了英语中一些词的来历。16A细节理解题。由第二段第一句Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term“couch potato” in 1976可知，couch po
