题组1
1. A resign辞职;remove去除,除去;retreat撤退;retire退休。句意:因为丑闻,总督不得不退位。这里要表达的意思是(非年龄因素而导致的)离开工作岗位。
2. D resign退位,辞职;retire退休。根据句意,选择D项。句意:韦勒先生上个月退休了,现在过着悠闲地生活。
3. B A项from没有此用法,应用out of或in;C项out后应加of;D项in或out of前后的数字都应该用基数词。
4. A list登记在……上,用作及物动词,故应使用被动语态。include包含,included常置于名词或代词之后。including为介词,常置于名词或代词之前。
5. C together with连接两个名词作主语,谓语动词的单复数由前面名词的单复数而定。句意:现在是星期六下午,汤姆和他的两个同学正一起在滑冰场的斜坡上玩新花样。
6. C 句意:要努力学习,否则你就会(在)数学(考试中)不及格。fail in表示“……不及格”;drop表示“落下;放弃”;miss表示“错过”;A项意思正好相反了,不合句意,可以这样说:“Study hard and you will pass the maths exam.”
7. B succeed in sth./doing sth.成功做了某事,或在……成功了;fail to do没有做成某事或做了某事失败了;manage to do设法做某事;try to do尽力做。根据短语搭配和but表示转折的含义,选择B项。句意:他做得很出色,但未破记录。
8. D keep保持;make使得,制造;give送给;fail作为及物动词,意思是“使不及格”。根据句意选择D项。句意:该教授给班上几乎一半的人评了不及格。
9. C 根据空格前面的it was可首先考虑强调结构。通过分析句子结构,可知第一个空格处强调的是时间状语从句,主句是第二个空格后面的句子。还原后的句子是:He didn’t meet the girl he would like to marry until he came back from Africa that year.强调not…until引导的时间状语从句时,主句中的not也一起被提到前面去。句意:那年直到他从非洲回来,他才遇到他想娶的那个女孩。
10. C 本题考查连词用法。本题易误选为A项that,其实本句不是强调句。若是,去掉It be…that还应是一个完整的句子。而本句去掉‘It is…that’,只剩下ten years Miss Green returned to Canada.不成句。因此本句不是强调句。该句型“It is/was +时间+since…”中is和has been对应,was和had been对应,“自从……以来,有……长时间了”。
11. C 本题考查名词的固定搭配。make sense是固定搭配,表示“有意义,讲得通”。句意:在我看来,刚才他告诉我们该事件根本没有任何意义。
12. B 本题考查短语辨析。sense of humor幽默感;sense of failure失败感;sense of touching触觉;sense of hearing听觉。根据句意选择B项。句意:最糟糕的情况是,一些人会终生拥有失败感。
13. B trademark商标;brand牌,类型;logo图标;band队,乐队。根据句意选择B项。a brand of等于a kind of。句意:我最爱喝这种茶。
14. A 分析句子成分,可知空格处和前面的has合成谓语,是现在完成时态,故应该选择A项。brand sth. on意思是“把……烙印在……”。句意;战争在我们心上烙下了永生难忘的教训。
15. B 句意:随着经济的发展,在贸易方面,中国能够和其他国家竞争。和……竞争,用compete with/against…;为……而竞争,用compete…for。
16. D 考查短语辨析。compete with和……竞争;compete for为……竞争;compete against同……竞争;compete in在……竞争。根据句意选择D项。句意:公司一定要在市场中有竞争力。
17. B competition n.竞争,角逐;competitive adj.竞争的,有竞争力的;competitor n.竞争者,对手;compete v.竞争。根据前面的very,可知后面是形容词,故选择B项。句意:汽车工业方面的竞争日益加剧。
18. A 考查短语搭配。make a choice between在两者中做出选择;make a choice of做出……选择。根据空格后面的the two,可知A项是最佳答案。句意:她得在两件衣服中选择一件。
19. A choose可作及物动词,也可作不及物动词。作为不及物词,和介词from搭配。you与choose有主谓关系,所以用不定式的主动形式to choose from。句意:这里有许多台计算机供你(从中)挑选。
20. B as表示原因时,后面跟句子,with是介词。再根据后面的主语,可知主语与第二个空格处的单词构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故选择B项。句意:下午没事我就去逛书店。
21. B raise提高,饲养;increase表示(数量、意识等)的提高;improve改进,提高(效率、条件等);promote促进,加深。句意:麋鹿喜欢那里凉爽湿润的气候,因此它们的数量逐年增长。
22. D 考查词汇含义。chance机会;importance重要性;assistant助手;advantage优势,此处指“语言优势”。句意:当你找工作的时候,能够流利地讲另一种语言是很有语言优势的。
23. B 本题考查名词的辨析。to one’s(own) advantage,表示“为了某人自己的好处、利益”,这种意思也可以用interest所构成的短语表示,但介词要用in,即:in one’s own interest。句意:我们可以说,在某种程度上动物争斗有自私的原因,也就是说,它们是为了自己的利益才这样做的。
24. A 根据空格前面的for,可知选择A项。注意:为了……的利益,可以用for the benefit of,to the advantage of,in the interest of等表示。句意:这个组织的建立是为了那些贫穷孩子的利益。
25. A 本题考查倍数的表达法。实际上本题省略了比较的后半部分,补充完整是:…three times as much (as that one)。另外,价格为不可数名词,故用much修饰。
26. A 该特殊疑问句可还原成:It is up to somebody to decide whether to go or not.再就somebody进行提问,答案就一目了然了。句意:去还是不去由谁说了算?
27. A guarantee保修;keep保持;protect保护;prepare准备。根据句意选择A项。句意:这台收音机的保修期是12个月。
28. C 名词词义辨析题。sign记号,符号,招牌,指示牌,示意动作,迹象,征兆;signal信号,暗号,手势;guarantee保证,保证书,担保,抵押品;supposition假定,假想,推测。句意:努力工作不是成功的唯一保证,但却是非常重要的必要条件。
29. A 本题考查名词词义辨析。safety安全;protection保护;promise承诺;guarantee作名词使用时,有“保修(期)”的意思,符合题干要求。句意:我们销售的每部佳能数码相机都有2年的保修期。
30. B buy买;purchase购买,赢得;save挽救;give给。分析句意可知选择B项。句意:他们以牺牲名誉为代价换得了生命。
31. A purchase price买价,进货价格。句意:如果你付现金的话,价钱便宜些。
32. D purchase with用……买入。句意:你买入时可享受清单价格减25%的折扣,当你按标价卖出时,将获得35%的利润。
33. B by the way顺便说一下;by chance碰巧;on purpose故意;in surprise惊奇地。根据句意选择B项。句意:我们没打算见面。我们在街上碰巧遇上了。
34. D 本题考查名词词义辨析。句意:我有可能到明天就能把这篇文章写完了。在作“机会”讲时,chance和opportunity可以互换使用,但是如果表示“可能性”,则只能用chance,opportunity无此意。
35. C 本题考查名词词义辨析。在此处chances
的意思是“有……的可能”。句意:如果你住
在乡下或曾经去那儿参观,你就有可能听到鸟
儿歌唱来迎接每一天。
36. B come是不及物动词,前面应该是副词,A
项被排除;D项引导时间状语从句时,其谓语
动词应该是延续性的。whenever= no matter
when。句意:无论她什么时候来,她总是给
孩子们带点糖果来。
37. A 根据后面的时态,排除C、D两项,step out
意思是“走出去”,如果后面有表示地点的名
词,还应该加of。根据句意选择A项。句意:
她走进屋子在沙发上坐下。
38. A 分析句子成分,可知空格处的成分作表语,动词不定式作表语时,如果前面有do,那么不定式符号可以省略,故选择A项。
39. A 句意:不要再制造这么多噪音了,否则邻居就要抱怨了。make noise意思是“制造噪音”,stop doing停止做某事;stop to do停下来去做另一件事。这里是“不要继续制造噪音了”。
40. C 主语是单数,排除A项;B项是“发明”;C项是“发现”;D项是“注意到”。根据语法和句意选择C项。句意:1964年11月3日,在陕西蓝田发现了猿人头盖骨。
41. A 分析句子结构,可知空格处应该代替后面的句子,是一个非限制性定语从句。as与which作为关系代词引导非限制性定语从句时,皆可指代整个句子,但which引导的从句只可放于句末,而as引导的从句可放于句首、句中或句末,故本题选A项,不选D项;而B项不可引导非限制性定语从句;C项的what不可引导定语从句。句意:然而,更令人感到吃惊的是他没有说他要屈服。
42. B 本题考查动词词义辨析。句意:我们已在当地报纸上登广告招募一名新秘书,但到现在还没有收到回复。动词“登广告”是advertise,其他三项也都是动词,advise为“建议”;announce是“宣布”;notice是“注意到”,都不符合句意。
43. C 由空格前面的不定冠词,可知空格处应该是名词,排除A、D两项。advertising指整个广告业或广告活动,是不可数名词,而advertisement指某一个具体广告,为可数名词,故应该选择C项。句意:专项广告宣传的时间取决于采用的宣传工具。
题组2
1. C 考查主谓一致。根据动名词短语作主语,句子的谓语动词用单数形式,由此排除B、D两项,根据主语与cause之间的主动关系,排除A项。故选C。
2. A 考查主谓一致。主句中的主语应为poets,谓语动词用复数,其后的非限制性定语从句的主语应为some of whose works,谓语动词也应是复数。故选A。
3. B 考查主谓一致和时态。首先the only one of…为先行词时,定语从句修饰的是one,即one是主语,而非后面的复数名词women,根据主谓一致的原则,谓语动词应该用单数,排除A、D两项。另外,从主句谓语动词is可以看出句子是要表示一种现在的情况,因此要用一般现在时,排除C项,故选A。
4. B 由倍数表达法“…be+倍数/分数/百分数+as+形容词(或副词)原级+as…”可知答案。
5. A 这里的what相当于the price that,再由倍数表达法“…be+倍数+the size (length,height…)of/that…”可知答案为A。
6. C It is…that…构成强调句,对what is right进行强调。在这种强调句中,一般用that引出句子的其他部分。如果被强调的部分是表示人的名词或代词时,可以用who代替that引出句子的其他部分。但是无论被强调的部分是表示地点还是表示时间意义的名词,都不可以用where或者when。
7. D while意为“虽然”,引导让步状语从句。句意为“虽然我真的不喜欢艺术,但我发现他的作品给人印象深刻”。as用于引导让步状语从句时,从句要倒装;since意为“既然”,引导原因状语从句;if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”。
8. C 中心词被the last,the only,the next等修饰时,要用不定式作后置定语。
9. D where引导定语从句,作activity的定语。where引导定语从句时,在从句中作地点状语。when引导定语从句时,意为“在……的时候”,其先行词常常是表示时间的名词;whose引导定语从句时,在从句中作定语,表示先行词与whose所修饰的名词之间是所属关系;which引导定语从句时,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语。
10. C it作形式主语,watching myself on TV作真正的主语。动词-ing形式作主语表示一般或抽象的多次行为。one作不定代词,意为“任何人”。this作指示代词,意为“这,这个;这事;这人”。that作指示代词,用于指眼前的、说过的事物或人,尤指比this稍微远一点的人或物,意为“那,那个东西;那件事情;那个人”。
11. A make后接动词-ed形式作宾语补足语,表示被动。根据them与interest的关系,可确定用-ed形式作宾语补足语,表示“使他们对他的课感兴趣”。
12. B 考查with的复合结构。这种结构在句中表示状态或说明背景,常作伴随、方式、原因、条件等状语,该结构由“with+名词(代词)+不定式/形容词/副词/介词短语/动词-ing形式/动词-ed形式等”构成。动词-ing形式作宾语补足语表示主动或某动作、状态正在进行。根据work与fill的关系,可以判断出要用动词-ing形式作宾语补足语,表示“太多工作充满我的头脑”。动词-ed形式作宾语补足语表示被动;动词不定式作宾语补足语表示将要发生的事。
13. B perform“表现”。句意为“我们校队在昨天的比赛中表现很好”。
14. C make sense of sth.“理解某事物”。make sth. out表示“理解某事”,结构不符;make over sb. 表示“改造某人”;make at表示“攻击”,都不符合题意。
15. D 句意为“公司开发出一种新产品后,总是发起广告宣传活动,以吸引尽可能多的购买者”。produce“生产”;introduce“介绍”;insist“坚持”;launch“发起”。由句意可知选D。
16. B 句意为“她和她妹妹总是为争取关注而竞争”。compete for“为……而竞争”。
17. B 句意为“收到失踪的儿子快回来的消息,他高兴极了”。第一个that构成强调句结构,第二个that引导同位语从句,解释news的内容。
18. C 句意为“无论你何时走,我都会去车站送你”。no matter when=whenever“无论何时”。
19. B together with连接两个并列成分时,谓语动词的数与together with前面的主语一致。
20. D in表示穿着某种颜色的衣服。
21. D “What do you mean by…?”表示“你……是什么意思?”
22. A so that引导目的状语从句。
23. D against为介词,表示“映衬着”。
24. B while表示“在……期间”,句意为“当我不在的时候谁愿意照顾我的宠物?”
25. A unless意为“除非……”,相当于if…not。故本句可替换为“…if there is not anything important to do in his office.”。
26. A now that意为“既然”,其中that也可以省略。
