(4)完形填空:
A:“fall asleep”是固定短语,意为“入睡”,这里用“fell”是其过去式,符合语境。“felt”是“feel(感觉)”的过去式;“go”表示“去”;“get”常见搭配“get to sleep”强调进入睡眠的过程,不如“fall asleep”常用。
B:“so that”引导目的状语从句,表达“以便,为了”,男人制作活字的目的是为了印刷书籍,符合逻辑。“because”引导原因状语从句;“although”引导让步状语从句;“as”可引导时间、原因等状语从句,但此处都不符合语义。
B:“until”表示“直到……为止”,男人把粘土块烘烤直到它们变硬,符合制作过程的描述。“when”强调时间点;“after”表示“在……之后”;“as”表示“当……时候”或“因为”,均不合适。
C:“with”表示“用,借助”,用框架来固定活字,是合适的表达方式。“by”通常表示方式、手段,但更强调通过某种行为;“in”表示“在……里面”;“on”表示“在……上面”。
A:用木板压活字的目的是让表面“平整”,“flat”符合文意。“clean”是“干净的”;“new”是“新的”;“warm”是“温暖的”。
B:“be ready to do sth”表示“准备好做某事”,这里表示准备好印刷了。“good”“nice”“fine”都不能准确表达“准备好”的意思。
A:“later”表示“……之后”,“400 years later”指“400年后”,符合谷登堡在毕昇之后改进发明的时间关系。“earlier”表示“更早”;“ago”用于一般过去时,时间从现在算起;“before”通常用于过去完成时。
A:上下文可知Jane从梦中醒来,“woke up”是“醒来”的意思。“stood up”是“站起来”;“got up”一般指起床的日常行为;“put up”有“张贴”“搭建”等意思。
C:根据前文描述,Jane做了一个关于活字印刷的有趣的梦,所以醒来后应该是“微笑”,“smiled”符合语境。“cried”是“哭”;“shouted”是“大喊”;“worried”是“担心”。
A:这个梦让Jane对印刷历史更加热爱,“more”表示“更,更加”,符合文意。“less”是“更少”;“most”是“最多”;“least”是“最少”。
