第I卷 (共四节，满分70分)
第一节 词汇语法知识 (共20小题:每小题1分，满分20分)
从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项。
1. _______ the last two years, the total cost has been reduced by 19 percent.
A. To compare with B. Comparing to C. Comparing with D. Compared with
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析和非谓语动词。句意：与过去两年相比，总成本下降了19%。compare to…把……比作……，compare with…把……和……比较，根据句意可知，此处是把现在和过去比较，需用固定短语compare with，本句已有谓语动词 reduced，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，动词compare与主句主语the total cost之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词compared作状语。故选D。
2. Thinking about the fact that I was not prepared well enough, and _______ to lose my face, I gave up this year’s civil service exam.
A. didn’t want B. not wanted C. not wanting D. not to want
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：考虑到我准备的不够充分，不想丢脸，我放弃了今年的公务员考试。并列连词and连接两个并列的成分，动词的形式需保持一致，根据空前Thinking about…可知，空处需用现在分词wanting作状语，其否定形式为not wanting。故选C。
