夯基达标
单项选择
1. The fire spread through the hotel very quickly, but everyone _______ get out.
A. had to B. would
C. could D. was able to
提示:could仅表示过去具有的某种能力,was/were able to则不仅指过去的能力,还表示“成功做成(succeeded in doing)”。本句含有“成功逃离”之意,故正确答案为D。? 答案:D
2. Was it _______ that he came back from outside last night
A. until midnight B. not until midnight
C. by midnight D. until his father called him
提示:若将句子改写为陈述句,可见 “It was not until midnight that he came back from outside last night.”是强调句式。对被强调部分提问,则有了该疑问句。故正确答案为B。
答案:B
3. The children's rooms _______ silent soon after the lights were turned off.
A. fell B. kept
C. stayed D. remained
提示:句意为“熄灯后孩子们的房间就静了下来”。fall作为连系动词,含“变得”之意,后接形容词作表语,常用的有ill, asleep, silent, quiet等。另三词虽可作连系动词,但均不合句意。故正确答案为A。
答案:A
4. The living should continue with the work left by the _______.
A. dying B. death
C. dead D. died
提示:定冠词the加某些形容词可表示一类人,如the old(老人),the poor(穷人)。此处the dead则表示“已故的人”。故正确答案为C。
答案:C
5. By the time we got home, the house _______ empty.
A. was B. had been
C. would be D. has been
提示:by短语作状语表示过去的时间时,表示动作的谓语动词常用过去完成时,表示状态的be动词则常用一般过去时。故正确答案为A。
答案:A
6. Our team _______ made up of ten players, and the team _______ a rest now.
A. is; is B. is; are
C. are; is D. are; are
提示:包括team在内的集体名词作主语,如果指整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式;如果指具体成员,谓语动词则用复数形式。故正确答案为B。
答案:B
7. I asked him to come and he promised to. He didn't, _______.
A. though B. therefore
C. yet D. still
提示:though作连词引导让步状语从句时意为“尽管,虽然”,作副词时意为“但是,可是”,常置于逗号后。故正确答案为A。
答案:A
8. Mr. Smith as well as I will try _______ best to help you.
A. his B. my
C. our D. their
提示:as well as短语置于主语之后时,谓语动词与短语前的主语一致。因此,本句中的代词也须与主语Mr Smith一致。故正确答案为A。
答案:A
9. You have to _______ your beliefs if you want to succeed.
A. work B. live
C. do D. make
提示:live作及物动词时,意为“实践,身体力行”。live one's beliefs的意思是“身体力行自己的信仰”。故正确答案为B。
答案:B
10. Only _______ doctors can practice medicine in our country.
A. skilled B. experienced
C. practised D. qualified
提示:skilled, experienced与practised均表示“熟练的,有经验的”,用于句中不合逻辑。qualified意为“合格的,有资格的”,既合语法,也合逻辑。 故正确答案为D。
答案:D
11. You might wonder how it _______ to live without eating for so many months.
A. keeps B. succeeds
C. manages D. tries
提示:A、B 后面不能接不定式;从句意可知,它指的是“成功地活下来”,try to 指“设法做某事,但不一定成功”。故正确答案为C。
答案:C
12. The gentleman, _______ you told me yesterday, proved to be a thief.
A. who B. about whom
C. whom D. with whom
提示:tell sb.of(about) sb./sth.意为“向某人讲述某事”。在英语中常说tell sb.sth.而不说tell sth.sb.固不能选择whom;who 在定语从句中作主语,故A 不对;D 项搭配不当。正确答案为B。
答案:B
13. _______ is known to all, China will be advanced and powerful country in 20 or 30 years' time.
A. That B. This
C. As D. It
提示:A项that不能引导非限制性定语从句;B项this不是连词,不能连接句子;D项应构成It is known to all that...结构,It 是形式主语;C项as 是关系代词引导非限制性定语从句,可放在句首、句中或句后。故正确答案为C。
答案:C
14. The result of the experiment was very good, _______ we hadn't expected.
A. when B. that
C. which D. what
提示:此处为非限制性定语从句,可排除D(what不能引导非限制性定语从句)。因为关系代词在从句中作动词(expect)的宾语,因此要用关系代词(which),排除关系副词。故正确答案为C。
答案:C
