# H$ _- X: X5 K3 p0 `5 s34题,it is vital to do sth.,做什么事情是至关重要的。too…to结构表示太而不能。从上下文和词组的用法来看,too是多余的。: L1 K$ P K+ n" m# Z
35题,正确的
3 A" @1 f( K4 z6 u8 m6 D- J36题,since so many are unproductive,是说的很多会议都没有效果。主谓宾很齐全,unproductive做形容词就可以修饰前面的meeting,results是多余的。
3 {" N4 N a/ o6 G) g8 E7 M37题,完整的句子应该是Sending an email or(by)using another means of communication might achieve the desired results in half the time。介词by是多余的。有by,不仅后面的主语不对,也没有与前面的sending保持一致。2 ~" N0 h( s+ Y

6 Q5 n% ^9 v! M. V& j! A) t" c& }40题,(Concerning)the key to a good meeting is an agenda,主谓宾是齐全的,the key to a meeting是主语,is是谓语,an agenda是宾语,意思就是日程表是会议的关键。Concerning是多余的。8 X4 P' X3 X" B7 b7 u5 n

2 K0 Q- U. B' J1 a* ]43题,去掉插入成分starting with the most important,完整的句子是set(that)out the points for discussion。set out是词组,在这里是陈述、阐明的意思:present information or ideas in a well-ordered way in writing or speech.。所以that多余。; V: h, ]- }% G9 a0 U; \) L# Q
44题,discuss是及物动词,做讨论时直接用discuss,而不是discuss about。事实上,在discuss后面接about时的about一般都是做“大约的”意思讲,而不是一个完整的词组。所以此处about多余。 T9 I1 p% ^) w6 E# H- a1 R7 s
