參考答案及解析
1.[D]??疾樾稳菰~用法和句意理解。首先,本題沒有比較,故比較級less肯定不恰當;其次,其余三個選項在語法上都正確,關(guān)鍵是要根據(jù)前半部分的句意邏輯來確定答案。前一句屬于“否定轉(zhuǎn)移”,即語法上否定主句,意義上否定從句,故其句意為“我認為基爾不會是個好老師”,由邏輯可知,后半部分應為“她對孩子沒有多少耐心”,因此應選含否定義的little。
2.[A]??疾閯釉~用法。remember/forget這兩個詞后既可跟不定式,又可跟動名詞,但表達的意思不同。接不定式時,表示的是不定式動作尚未發(fā)生;接動名詞時,表示動名詞代表的動作已經(jīng)發(fā)生,只是“記得起”或“記不起”而已。本題空格后有明確的過去時間,表明meet這個動作已經(jīng)發(fā)生,故應用其動名詞形式。
3.[B]??疾榇~用法。由句意不難看出,此處指的是“再過三個月”,故選含“另一(個)”的another。注意,another并非只能跟單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。其余三個代詞都不合題目要求:0ther指的是不特定范圍內(nèi)的“其他”,而本題明顯有月份的限定,故不能填入;these和those都是特指(前者為近指,后者為遠指),但本題也沒有特指含義。
4.[B]??疾闀r態(tài)。本題關(guān)鍵是理解but的作用。結(jié)合題目和選項可以看出,but在此用作連詞,連接兩個并列句,后一分句承前省略了主語Tony。既然是并列句,那么前后分句的時態(tài)應保持一致,故[B]正確。注意,此題并非cannot(…)but…這種用法,在這種用法中,but后用動詞原形。
5.[c]??疾榫渥咏Y(jié)構(gòu)與從句連接詞。由句子結(jié)構(gòu)不難發(fā)現(xiàn),空格后是一個從句,填入的詞在從句中作主語。nothin9不合句意與常識;that不能在從句中作句子成分;anythin9看似正確,但它含有“任意”義,且它不能起連接作用,其后應當有另外的連接詞。只有what既能起連接作用,又可在從句中作句子成分(主語、賓語等),它相當于anything that,故是正確答案。
6.[C]。考查副詞用法。deep和deeply都是副詞,區(qū)別在于前者多用于具體事物,后者多用于抽象事物。從本題來說,“深感興趣”是抽象的,而“夜深”則是具體的,所以選[C]。
7.[D]??疾楣潭ù钆洹ive out分發(fā),公布;put out撲滅,發(fā)出,放到外面;hold up支撐,阻止;use up用光,用完。句意明顯是指燃料用完,故選[D]。
8.[C]??疾閯釉~用法。blame不但可以指主動的“責備(別人)”,還可用于sb.be tO blame for這一習慣用法,指“某人應(為某事)擔責任或受到責備”,即可用主動形式表達被動含意。
9.[C]??疾槎陶Z動詞辨義。四個選項都屬于短語動詞這種形式的固定搭配:look for指“尋找”,set up指“建立”,turn t0指“求助于,轉(zhuǎn)向”,change into指“(使)變成,換(衣服)”。結(jié)合常識不難看出,句意指“很多人都轉(zhuǎn)而乘坐公共交通工具”,因此本題答案為[C]。
10.[B]??疾闀r態(tài)。表示一種假定的情況時,主句如果用一般將來時態(tài),從句則用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。
11.[C]??疾閯釉~用法。lack既可作名詞,又可作動詞。作名詞時,lack后可跟介詞oh作動詞時,lack是及物動詞,其后直接跟賓語。因此[B]、[D]兩項明顯不對。而由句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,句子主語(his parents)就是動詞lack的主語,故應用表主動的非謂語形式lacking。
12.[C]??疾榻樵~用法。首先,space不能直接作stand的賓語,只能用in space作狀語(但in不能換成 on);其次,0n the earth指“在地球(表面)上”,而in一般不與the earth連用。所以本題只能選[C]。
13.[A]??疾槭÷员磉_。S0可用于省略回答,表示與前文說的情況一樣。但當S0位于句首時,句子要部分倒裝,即將助動詞提到主語前、S0后,構(gòu)成“SO+助動詞+主語”這樣一種表達。只有[A]的形式正確。
14.[D]??疾闀r態(tài)。由于從旬是before引出的表過去的時間狀語,因此主句也要用過去時態(tài);而主句中又有一個表示時間段的狀語for hours,故主句還要用完成時態(tài)。[D]項為過去完成進行時,強調(diào)在過去某一時間段內(nèi)一直做某事,符合題目要求。
15.[B]??疾楸磉_?;卮餡ould you mind…問句(它表達的實際上是一種請求或要求),表示“不介意”時,用N0直接回答,或者用with pleasure等禮貌性用法,故答案為[B]。其余三項中,[A]和[C]都用于回答別人對自己的感謝,即“不用謝”,而[D]則為感謝他人的用語。
