58. ______ many old people, he likes this kind of dance.

C. In common with D. In case of答案与解析
1.B 本题考查common的用法。本题题意为“不像其他大多数孪生姐妹一样,玛丽和比小她半小时的妹妹简除了长得相像之外,没有什么共同之处”。根据“除了长得相像外,没有什么……”来选择答案。
2.A 句意:杰克逊是常见的英语人名。common指为许多人或事物所共同具备因而常见。
3.B than usual意为“比以往”,表时间,不可用common,后一空为“平凡的”,用ordinary; normal表示“常规的”。
4.A average此处表示“一般水平”,即“既不好也不坏,没有什么特别引人入胜之处”。usual表示“通常的”;normal表示“正常的,没有出问题”;common表示“共同的,共有的”,都不符合此处的语境。
5.B common普通的,常见的,常常发生的,到处可见的;usual通常的,惯例的,习以为常的,可指时间、习惯方面;ordinary正常的,普通的;general普通的,比common语气稍强,含很少例外的意味。可见本题中common是最佳选择。
6.C 因句子主语是we, compare的逻辑主语也是we,且we与compare之间是主谓关系,因此应用现在分词。
7.D 该题考查分词短语作状语的用法。“把年轻人比作太阳”应用词组compare A to B,又因句子的主语Mao Zedong与compare存在主谓关系,故要用comparing。
8.B 句意:科学家们已估计出到本世纪末世界人口将翻一番。number达到……之数,共计;include包含,包括;design设计,这三个动词均不符合语境。calculate在此意为“估计”。
9.B 考查动词辨析。count一个一个地数;calculate计算,估计;amount总计,总量达……;number给……编号,总计。
10.B 宇宙飞船到达月球需要的时间是经过复杂的数学运算才能得出的,故用calculate。
11.A get off the bus下车。
12.B not until引导的时间状语从句置于句首时,主句用部分倒装结构。
13.A 句意:经营一家公司不仅仅是雇用员工的问题——他们也需要被培训。
14.C 句意:申请表格现已简化了。
15.C 句意:玛丽是一个聪明的女孩子,我们都喜欢她。intelligent是以元音音素开头的单词,故用an。另外,intelligence为名词,intelligent为形容词。其他类似的词有:silence→silent, importance→important, difference→different等。
16.D since when=since 1946,此处用since来连接,其主句要用现在完成时态。
17.B 结合本题的题意,第一个空用来作前置定语,修饰地点名词island。值得注意的是alone是表语形容词,不能作前置定语,故排除C、D两项。第二个空与live有关,因只说明居住的情况,不含感彩,故应用alone。
18.B 句意:他很聪明,十分钟就把填字游戏做出来了。solve意为“解决,解答”,指找出解决问题的办法;settle指解决争议、争端,使意见达成一致。
19.B solve意为“解决,处理”;solution意为“解决办法,处理方法”。分析句子结构可以看出,前一空格里应填入动词,而后一空格内应填入名词,而D项中do的表述不对。
20.A 此处表示时间的流逝。要注意所给选项意义的细微差别,B项意为“从……旁经过”,不表示时间;C项意为“进展”,侧重于过程;D项意为“传递”,都不符合题意。
21.A 本题考查含有go的动词短语用法辨析。表示时间的“过去”常用go by或pass,所以选A项。go away意为“离开”;go out表示“出去”或“(灯、火等)熄灭”;go over意为“复习,检查”。
22.A go by意为“走过,经过,流逝”;go down意为“下去,下降”;go up意为“上升,上涨,被建造起来”;go off意为“离开,开火,熄灭”。句意:随着时间的推移,她对英语越来越感兴趣。
23.B 从句意来分析,“死亡”是“受伤”的结果。应选B项。另外,result也可用作动词,C项意为“(造成)……的结果”,不符合题意。
24.A 句意:由于买了太多的东西,Jenny差点误了航班。as a result of由于……;on top of在……顶部;in front of在……前面;in need of需要。由句意知A项正确。
25.C 由句中realizes及it’ll be可知应用现在时态,故排除B、D两项。由句意可知空白处强调已经完成的动作,故用现在完成时。
26.C 本题考查了两个要点:一是时态,二是词义。由just now知用一般过去时;另外,由介词among知,A、B两项的搭配用法不合适。
27.D 本题考查被动语态的时态和介词搭配。由“Listen”可知用现在进行时态。许多学生看到share就要用with,但其结构应是share sth. with sb. ,而这里应用介词by。
28.C 根据make up表示“组成”的含义(在本题中可理解成“联合”)可知,and后面应构成表示“建立关系”的短语。
29.D 句意:科学家已证实胆固醇含量与心脏病之间有关联。故D项正确。
30.C a job connected with environment与大自然环境有关的工作,句中has为谓语动词,所以空白处要用非谓语动词,故A、B两项不正确。join…to…意为“把……连接到……上”,与题意不符。
31.C 句意:有那么多人申请这份工作,这让我们很吃惊。由句意可以看出选C项。
32.A apply oneself to意为“专心于”。absorb与介词in搭配,D项意义不对。
33.D since从句中使用延续性动词和非延续性动词意义不同。用延续性动词时表示该动作的结束。如:It’s three years since I smoked. 我戒烟已三年了。
34.D 主句用现在完成时,since引导的从句用一般过去时。
35.C 本题考查与communicate连用的介词。第一个空表示“与……联系”,后应用介词with;后两空都用by,表示方式。
36.B 句意:这个男孩如此腼腆以至于他不能很好地与他人交流。communicate with sb. “与某人交流”;get along well with sb. “与某人相处得很好”;deal with“处理(问题),对付”。
37.B anyway为副词,意为“无论如何;然而;总之,反正”,用来表示前面的话无关紧要,重要的是下面的话,相当于anyhow。
38.C be devoted to…在句中表示“深爱着的……”。此处介词to已提到关系代词whom前面,其他选项的搭配均不正确。
39.A 根据are told后不能省略不定式符号to可排除B、C、D三项,as意为“像,按照”,引导方式状语从句。2·1·c·n·j·y
40.D the same常与as连用,因空中的内容与suitcase有关,故用yours,相当于your suitcase。
41.D 分析句子结构可以看出空格后面有主语和谓语,因此空格内应填入连词,表示与主句的动作同时进行,在所给选项中只有as有此用法。
42.D 本题考查年代表示法。从所给选项来看,A、C、D三项前半部分均对,但意思不一样。C项意为“20世纪七十年代”,而A、D两项意为“在1970年”。后一个空表示某人多大岁数,其数词也应用复数形式。
43.D 表示年代时在年代后加s,也可加’s,如the 1980s=the 1980’s。in one’s fifties表示“在某人50多岁时”。
44.C communicate…to表示“传达,通知”。
45.B hear from意为“收到……来信”,若选A项意思不通。句意:他哥哥离家出走,自那以后就杳无音信了。
46.C treat…as…意为“把……当作……”。
47.A 根据句意“研讨会是互通信息的好场所”可知应用share,表示“分享,分担”。
48.D normal“正常的”;ordinary“普通的”;average“平均的”;common“普通的,常见的”。由句意可知选D项。
49.A 因为犯错而导致的后果,故用as a result。after all意为“毕竟”;anyway意为“无论如何”;otherwise意为“否则”。
50.D in the 1980s意为“在20世纪80年代”;“in one’s+数字的复数形式”表示“在某人多少岁时”。
51.D 句意:检查一下别让插头松脱了。
52.D 根据主句“……有同伴而感到吃惊”来推理从句的意思是“……原指望单独……”。
53.A not…until…为固定用法,陈述语序为He didn’t go home until he…。
54.B general“概括的,总体的”。其他三个选项没有这个意思。
55.D 在表示年代时,须用定冠词,后面的非限制性定语从句中用关系副词,作时间状语。
56.B 从后文的except that…可知,两人几乎没有相同之处。
57.B not…until…“直到……才……”。unless=if not,表条件,不符合题意;when和before都可引导时间状语从句,但都不符合语境。
58.C 句意:和许多老年人一样,他喜欢这种舞蹈。in competition with“与……比赛”;in spite of“尽管”;in common with“和……一样”;in case of“万一”;由句意可知选C项。 题组ⅢⅠ. 单词拼写

13. as time goes by 14. 在20世纪60年代早期
Ⅲ. 1. (1)usual (2)general (3)common
(4)ordinary
解析:common表示“普遍的,常见的,时时发生,人人共有”;usual常用来指长时间形成了一种习惯或制度,常译作“惯常的”;ordinary强调“普通”,表示 “不值得惊奇”,与common意思相近;general指“总体的,概括的,大众的”。
2. (1)so (2)such (3)so (4)so (5)so (6)such
解析:such表示“如此,那么”,是形容词,修饰名词。适用“such+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数,such+形容词+不可数名词/可数名词复数”的结构。so是副词,修饰形容词、副词或动词。适用“so+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数”的结构。但当名词前有表示数量的many,much,few和little四个词修饰时,还是用so,如第(3)题。
3. (1)resulted in (2)As a result (3)results from
解析:as a result“结果”;result in“结果为……;导致……”;result from“产生于;由……引起”。

Ⅶ. 1. calculating 2. programmed 3. revolution
4. intelligence 5. universal 6. solve 7. size
8. totally 9. to explore 10. Anyhow
Ⅷ. 1. D 句意:这个问题超出了他的能力范围,他无法解决。solve“解决”,适合语境。
2. B from then on“从那时起”;from now on“从现在起”;since then“从那时以来”,主句要用现在完成时;from time to time“时常,不时地”。结合语境,B项正确。
3. C a number of“许多,大量的”;totally,in total和in all都可表达“总共”,但这三个词和短语要在句中作状语不能和of连用,只有C项符合题意。a total of“总共”。
4. A go away“离开”;go out“出去,熄灭”;go over“过来,温习”;go by“时间过去,流逝”。
5. D 句意:在20世纪90年代有许多人50多岁了还上大学深造。the 1990s表示“20世纪90年代”;in one’s/the fifties表示“在某人50多岁的时候”,均为固定用法,故D项正确。
6. B 问话者想给对方提供帮助,回答者要么拒绝,要么接受,但是要考虑礼貌用语;结合答语的后半部分“We’re just looking. ”可知选择B项。
7. A 由于缺乏资金而导致计划失败的结果,故用as a result。
8. B anyhow意为“无论如何;不管怎样”时相当于anyway,用于引导让步状语,一般位于句中或句末。
9. B as usual“像往常一样”;not an ordinary day“不同寻常的一天”。
10. B 句意:罗伯特·皮里于1909年探险北极。表示“探测,探险”用explore。
Ⅸ. 1. D news是不可数名词,不可以直接用数词修饰;interesting表示“有趣的,使人感兴趣的”。
2. C 收到电话公司的账单用receive;accept表示“从内心接受”。
3. C 此处for表示“价值……的”。
4. A 两者之间的联系用between;among表示 “三者或三者以上之间”。
5. B discovery“发现”;invention“发明”;present “礼物”;suggestion“建议”。根据常理,计算机应该是一项发明。
6. D 此处对应第一段第二句话,表示:这张电话账单出自一台犯了一个大错误的计算机。
7. C 由后文账单实际只有23. 36美元可知是个大错误。
8. C 两者中的另一方用the other表示。
9. B 该男子既然是去设置程序让计算机付给他钱,可见他是进了没有保卫的计算机付款室。
10. B supply sth. to. . . “为……供应……”。
11. C 上文中“supplied”打引号,即说明其实他并没有向该公司供应生肉,他不过是通过对电脑编程序来骗钱而已。
12. C 泛泛而言,“数千”用thousands of表示。
13. A 这一部分讲电脑的短处,只有A项含有否定意义。
14. C get/be used to“习惯(做某事)”。to后须跟名词或动词-ing形式,可排除A、B两项;used to do为固定搭配,表示“过去常常做某事”,与下文的时态也对应。
15. B which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰a card。
16. C avoid为及物动词,后跟动词-ing形式,不跟动词不定式,可排除A、B两项;再根据语境可知:简单地通过在卡上涂蜡烛就可以避免被召集,call up应该用动词-ing形式的被动形式,故选C项。21*cnjy*com
17. D 电脑不能读这张卡,就对它不做任何事情了。
18. B everyday为形容词,“日常的”;every day为副词短语,“每天”。
19. A 前文作者主要叙述了电脑会出这样那样的错误,在此作总结:在我们犯无法纠正的错误之前,让我们重新使用人,而不是计算机。
20. C
