原文：

选项：
A) She purchased a car recently.
B) She knew the car was in the lot.
C) She always forgets to clean her car.
D) She really needs a new car.
此外，还要注意语音、语调的问题。中国考生对英语中以语调、语气表意的句子不熟悉，从而难以领会说话者要表达的真实意图，结果造成失分。因此，应试者应对这一项加以研究，并加强训练。以陈述句为表达形式而句末用升调，表示说话人的怀疑，不同意或不完全同意对方的观点。句子结构是陈述形式，但句末用的是降调或低升调，表示说话人的无所谓或乐观的态度，不表示怀疑。感叹句用升调结尾，表怀疑。疑问句句末用升调表示怀疑，而用降调不表怀疑。如Is he honest?用降调表示说话者认为他是诚实的。同学们对连续和弱读的现象也应有所了解。

条件句中以if引导居多，注意这种句式的表达特点。它们经常用省略的形式，如if possible，if any，if not，if so，if necessary，if needed等，听省略形式的条件句，主要应该抓住主句的基本内容，因为条件句不易听错，只要抓住了主句的基本内容，就能正确做题。此外，表示条件的连词，除了if外，还有as long as，so long as，suppose，supposing，let\'s say等。
Walking fast uses up as many calories as running slowly.
其中被比较对象为running slowly.但要注意有时出现的一句话只是形式上的相等比较，但在含义上却是不等比较。像almost，nearly，practically通常表示还差一点，不及等。不等比较的基本句型为：主语+谓语+比较级+than+被比较对象。此外，以比较级形式可表达最高级含义。如下面一句话：No other student studies as hard as peter.因此，应是彼特学习最刻苦。
下列是一些常见的比较句式：as…as…，the same as，比较级 + than，prefer…to…，would rather…than等。在比较对象上，注意that、one的指代；此外，还有句子成分的省略。下面是一个例子：
