C. for; / D. of; /
答案与解析 B 第一空, charge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )... for ...“(向……)收费;开价”;第二空, for nothing“免费”。故选B项。
2.The whole city was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in high spirits because pieces of exciting news came ________.

答案与解析 D one after ano ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther“一个接一个地”; step by step“一步一步地”; little by little“逐渐地”; side by side“肩并肩地”。根据题意选D项。

A. The less; the less
B. The more; the more

4.He has been act ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing very strangely these days. I can't ________ his actions at all.
A. ask for B. account to
C. call for D. stand for

Ⅱ.单句语法填空
6.I regret to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) inform you that your brother is just the one we'll get someone ________ (replace).
答案与解析 to rep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lace 句意:很抱歉通知你,那个我们要找人替换的就是你哥哥。replace的宾语是定语从句中省略掉的关系代词that或who。get sb. to do sth.“让某人做某事”。2-1-c-n-j-y
7.By the time I saw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the job ________ (advertise) in the newspaper, it was already too late.
答案与解析 advertised advertise与其所修饰的中心词the job构成被动关系,且动作已经完成,故使用过去分词形式。
8.All communication ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has to be open, honest, and patient if a happy and healthy relationship is ________ (maintain).
答案与解析 to be maint ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ained 句意:要保持健康快乐的关系,所有的交流就要开诚布公,而且要有耐心。a happy and healthy relationship与maintain之间构成被动关系,根据句意可知maintain动作表示将来,故用不定式短语。
9.Take care! Don't d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rop the ink on your shirt, for it won't ________ (wash) out easily.
答案与解析 wash 句意:小心,不要把墨水弄在你的衬衫上,因为它不容易洗掉。wash out“(从衣服上)被洗掉”本身已表被动。
10.The company des ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )igned a new car last month and about 500 cars of this type ________ (produce) in the factory next month.
答案与解析 will be produ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ced 句意:上个月,公司设计了一款新型的小轿车,下个月工厂将生产大约500辆这款小轿车。根据时间状语next month可知,谓语动词要用将来时;由于主语about 500 cars与谓语动词之间是被动关系,所以要用被动语态。所以本题谓语动词应用一般将来时的被动语态。
