参考答案
一、单项填空。
1. D【解析】表示确切数目时,hundred用单数形式,其前须有基数词,且后面不加of,由此可知A、C两项错误;若表示概数,则用hundreds of,且其前不加基数词。故选D。
2. B【解析】embarrassed意为“感到尴尬的”,常修饰人;embarrassing意为“令人难堪的”,常修饰物。
3. B【解析】run out“用完;用光”;sell out“卖完”;give out“分发;散发”;wear out“穿破”。由句意“很抱歉,我们已经卖完了适合你的尺码的鞋子”可知,该题正确答案为B项。
4. A【解析】give sb. a lift“捎某人一程”,是固定搭配。其他三项代入后不符合语境。
5. D【解析】句意:“暴风雨要来了。迈克,睡觉时别忘了关窗户。”“我不会(忘)的,妈妈。”由句意知动作还没有发生,故用forget to do sth.“忘记要做某事(事未做)”,而forget doing sth.表示“忘记做过某事(事已做)”。
6. D【解析】get married to“与……结婚”。
7. A【解析】till“到;直到”;while“当……时候”;when“当……时候”;after“在……之后”。句意为“许多人直到生病了,才意识到健康的重要性。”not…till/until“直到……才”,所以选A。
