参考答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. D
【解析】句意:这位作家离开家乡,为一家报社工作。
本题考查动词的时态。选项A为动词原形;选项B为三单;选项C为动词不定式;选项D为过去式。根据“worked for a newspaper为报社工作”中的worked可知时态为一般过去时,因此and前面的时态也是一般过去时,故选D。
2. A
【解析】句意:我也喜欢马克吐温写的小说。
as well和also用于肯定句和疑问句,as well多用于口语,一般放在句末,而also多用于书面语,一般放在句中与动词连用。either用于否定句和否定的疑问句,往往放在句末。分析本题的句子结构可知,该题是陈述句,又是句末的“也”,因此用as well。as well as:既……又……;除……之外(也)。不符合语境,排除。故选A。
3. C
【解析】句意:我们经常在三月植树。
本题考查名词辨析。September九月;December十二月;March三月;August八月。根据常识可知,种树一般是在三月份。故选C。
4. C
【解析】句意:你能帮我找出真相吗?
find是个及物动词,表示找到,主要强调“寻找”的结果,而不表示“寻找”的过程。look for表示“寻找”的过程和动作。find out是个短语动词,表示“查明”、“弄明白”的意思,而且是经过研究、计算、探询等获知,得知。look at是由动词look与介词at组成的词组,相当于及物动词,后面可以带宾语,侧重“看”的动作。根据“Can you help me ________ the truth ”你能帮我_______真相吗?可知,应该选择find out查明、弄明白。符合语境。故选C。
5. D
【解析】句意:马克·吐温在19世纪60年代变得非常出名。
本题考查年代的表达。in the + 数字’s /数字s:表示在多少年代的意思;在十九世纪六十年代:in the 1860s或;in the 1860’s。本题的语境为:马克·吐温在19世纪60年代变得非常出名。ABC三个选项都是错误的,故选D。
