[相似点] 考查with+O.+O.C.的复合结构。 第(1)题工作当然是被完成，所以说with his work finished；第(2)题考虑到with后面的名词so much work和动词后面的宾语my mind, 只能选filling.

13.

A. finishing               B. finished              C. had finished                 D. were finished

[相似点] 考查独立主格结构做状语用法。首先判断都不是一个并列句，因为无连词，所以只能是分词做状语。第(1)题最近的飞船上天事件已经发生,所以要用现在分词的完成式做状语, 加上分词的逻辑主语后, 构成独立主格结构；第(2)题一天的功课当然是被做完,这样their lessons finished就构成了独立主格结构做状语。

17.

[相似点] 考查Not really在交际用语中的含义理解。第(1)Not really 表示不赞同,意思是：事实并非如此,不是这样的；第(2)根据答语中“今天是人人都在的唯一一天”，所以我们“不能”推迟会议，表示委婉的否定对方的提议，故选D。同时考查交际用语和省略句的用法。在复习中要掌握一些西方人的表达习惯说法，尤其是一些简略回答的表达要认真理解。

[相似点] 考查主谓一致。一般现在时不难判断, 然后考虑主谓一致。第(1)题主语是the time ；第 (2)题前面的主语是a survey,后面的主语是exercise。这里搞清楚of短语与相关名词或代词的主从关系是解题的关键
