7. A. 根据句意,“people”应该是“感到震惊(shocked)”,news应该是“令人震惊(shocking)”。
8. B。“幸存者”应该是“被营救的”,排除A、C; 由since可知,要用现在完成时,排除D。句意:自从地震发生,成千上万的幸存者被援救出来。
9. B. 本题考查部分否定与全部否定的表达。题干部分“Not all...”表示部分否定,和B项的“all....not”一样都表示部分否定;A,C,D均表示全部否定。
10. D. 句意:那个主妇抖动毯子,除去上面的灰尘。shake是普通用语,指上下前后移动;shiver指害怕、紧张导致的无意的抖动;tremble 指快速而轻微的抖动;quake震动,摇动,比较猛烈。
11. B. 注意此题的意思是要求选择错误的选项。其它三项都有“立刻、马上”的意思,at no time“决不”,故选择B。
12. D. burst into /out突然迸发,burst into + n;burst into +doing。laugher是名词。
13. B. 句意“我们今天不用做额外的工作了,今天的工作已经结束了”。 at an end 结束,在……的末尾。
14. D. 句意为“从他的穿着上判断,他一定是长途旅行过”。现在分词短语表示“依据……来判断”。
15. A。句意:三分之二的学生想下周去爬泰山。分子用基数词,分母用序数词,若分子大于1,分母的词尾应加s;若分数修饰可数名词复数,则谓语动词也用复数,故选A。
16. B。根据句意,为对方取得全国英语竞赛第一名表示祝贺。故选B。With pleasure 十分乐意;Congratulations 恭喜你,祝贺你;Good luck 祝你好运; Be calm 保持冷静。
17. D。考查短语搭配。句意:我们为我们的士兵为国家所做的事情而感到自豪。be proud of = take pride in “为……而自豪,引以为荣”。
18. C。根据句意“很多学生被困在着火的教学楼里”,可知选C。be caught in 陷入其中;be dropped into 被丢弃;fall into 落入;be trapped in 被困在……中,符合句意,故选C。
19. D。in ruins 意为“成为废墟”。句意:火灾把庙宇烧成了废墟。leave表示“使……处于某种状态”,后面in ruins作宾语补足语。
20. D。thousand,hundred,score,dozen等词前面有具体数字时,不用复数形式,所以选D。three score of the eggs 这些鸡蛋中的60个。
