Exercise Thirty-two
1. ______________（除非你和保险公司签订货物保险合同），you are not entitled to a repayment for the goods damaged in delivery.
2. ______________（据报道，这个地方卫生组织25年前就成立了）when Dr. Mark became its first president.
3. Mrs. Smith shut the window lest ______________（外面的噪音会影响她儿子的睡眠）.
4. The new mayor was charged ______________（未能履行他降低通货膨胀率的承诺）.
5. _____________（每当遇到这类问题时，我的大脑就一片空白），and I can hardly remember my own date of birth.
1. Unless you sign a contract with the insurance company for your goods
解析：本题考查对连词unless用法的掌握。unless表示"除非......否则"，相当于"if...not"，常用于引导条件状语从句。
2. It is reported that the local health organization was established 25 years ago/The local health organization is reported to have been established 25 years ago
解析：本题考查形式主语it及被动语态的用法。It is reported that...意为"据报道......"，it为形式主语，后面的that从句为句子的真正主语，表示"卫生组织成立"应该用被动语态。另外，本句也可以直接用报道的对象the local health organization充当主语，原来从句中的谓语动词转换成相应的不定式的完成式。
3． the noise outside (should) interfere with her son‘s sleep
解析：本题考查对虚拟语气和短语interfere with的掌握。连词lest（以免），for fear that（唯恐，恐怕）和in case（万一）引起的从句中谓语动词常使用虚拟语气，其形式为"should＋动词原形"，should可省略。interfere with意为"打扰妨碍（某事）"。
4． with failure to fulfill his promise to decrease the inflation rate
解析：本题考查charge的搭配以及其他一些短语的用法。Charge sb. with sth.意为"以某事指控或控告某人"，另外accuse...(of)也表示"指控或控告"，注意不同的介词搭配。Failure(fail) to do sth.常用于表示"未能做成某事"，本句中是跟在介词with后面，所以用名词failure。
5． When confronted with such questions，my mind goes blank
解析：本题考查对短语be confronted with及单词blank的掌握。Be confronted with sb./sth.表示"面对、面临某人或某事"，go blank常用于表示"（思想或大脑）变得空白、呆滞"。
