1. He spoke so fast that it was difficult ____.
A. to take notes B. to take notes of
B. to take note of D. make notes
解析:A 本題考查動詞詞組的搭配。句意為“他說得太快了很難做記錄”。take notes意為“做記錄;做筆記”;題中做記錄的內(nèi)容沒說,故B項中of多余;C項表達形式有誤;D項缺少不定式to。故A項正確。
2. He studied hard, ____ the exam.
A. aim at B. aiming at passing
C. aiming passing D. aim to passing
解析:B 本題考查動詞短語的搭配。句意為“他努力學習,目的在于要通過考試”。aim at意為“目的在于”,其后接名詞或v-ing形式。本句中aiming at passing the exam為現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語。故選B。
3. Washington, a state in the United States, was named ____ one of the greatest American presidents.
A. in honour of
B. instead of C. in favour of
D. by means of
解析:A 本題考查介詞短語的辨析。句意為“華盛頓——美國的一個州,是為了紀念美國最偉大的總統(tǒng)之一華盛頓而命名的”。in honour of意為“為了紀念……”,符合題意。故選A。而B項意為“代替”;C項意為“贊成”;D項意為“通過……的方法;憑借……的手段”,均不合題意。
4. He left his homeland, ____ never ____ back again.
A. determined; to come B. being determined; to come
C. determined; coming D. determine; coming
解析:A 本題考查動詞形式及其搭配。句意為“他離開家鄉(xiāng),決心再也不回來了”。determine作動詞,表示“決定”。常用詞組be determined to do/that,意為“下決心做某事”,相當于make up ones mind to do sth.。determined never to come back again作伴隨狀語,說明he當時的決心已定,相當于并列謂語即and was determined never to come back again,而且determine后只能接不定式作賓語。故選A。
5. The man insisted ____ a taxi for me even though I told him I lived nearby.
A. find B. to find C. on finding D. in finding
解析:C 本題考查動詞搭配。insist on doing sth.為固定搭配。故選C。句意為“那個人堅持要給我找輛出租車盡管我告訴他我住在附近”。
6. He insisted ____ at once, but I refused.
A. me to start B. on us to start
C. that I would start D. that I start
解析:D 本題考查insist的用法。insist意為“堅持說,堅決主張;堅決認為”時,所接賓語從句不用虛擬語氣;意為“堅持;堅決要求”時,賓語從句用“should+動詞原形”,should可省略。故本題選D。句意為“他堅決要求我立刻走,但是我拒絕了”。
7. People lined up and entered the hall ____.
A. in turn B. by turns C. turning D. with turn
解析:A 本題考查固定搭配。句意為“人們排好隊依次進入大廳”。in turn為固定搭配,意為“依次,一個一個地”;而by turns意為“輪流;交替”;with turn是錯誤表達。故選A。
8. The conference has been held to discuss the effects of tourism ____ the wildlife in the area.
A. in B. on C. at D. with
解析:B 本題考查名詞與介詞的搭配?!皩Αa(chǎn)生影響”應表達為have an effect on…應用介詞on或upon。故選B。其余三項不符合搭配。句意為“已經(jīng)召開了會議討論旅游對這個地區(qū)野生動物的影響”。
9. The manager of the company told us that very little ____ was made of the waste materials in the past.
A. cost B. value C. use D. matter
解析:C 本題考查短語動詞的被動語態(tài)及短語的搭配。句意為“公司的經(jīng)理告訴我們過去廢料很少被利用”。make little use of sth.意為“(很少)利用……”,其被動語態(tài)結(jié)構(gòu)可以是sth. be made use of或use be made of sth.,本題用的是后者。故選C。其余三項不符合搭配和句意。
10. It is widely accepted that young babies learn to do things because certain acts lead to ____.
A. rewards B. prizes C. awards D. results
解析:A 本題考查易混詞的區(qū)別。嬰兒的某些行為顯然不是為了獲得真正意義上的獎金或獎品,而是“獎賞”。故選A。prizes表示“表揚”;awards表示“獎品;獎金”;results表示“結(jié)果”。
11. She was ____ a medal for bravery.
A. rewarded B. awarded C. praised D. prized
解析:B 本題考查動詞辨析。由題干中medal可知句意為“她因勇敢而獲得獎章”。而且四個選項中只有award后可接雙賓語,其他均不可。故選B。
12. He can get the ____ that he will go to college by working hard.
A. chance
B. chances C. opportunity
D. opportunities
解析:A 本題考查同義名詞用法辨析。“上大學”是一次機會,故可排除B、D兩項。opportunity不可以與從句連用,因此排除C,故A項是唯一正確的。句意為“通過努力工作他可以得到上大學的機會”。
13. ——Im sorry. I broke your mirror.
——Oh, really?____.
A. Its OK with me B. It doesnt matter
C. Dont be sorry D. I dont care
解析:B 本題考查交際用語。句意為“對不起,我把你的鏡子打碎了”?!班?,真的嗎?沒關系”。回答道歉一般用It doesnt matter.或Thats OK/all right.故選B。
14. The young nurse was very nervous when she ____ in her first operation.
A. resisted B. insisted C. disease D. assisted
解析:D 句意為“這個年輕的護士首次輔助做手術(shù)時非常緊張”。resist意為“抵抗;反抗”;insist意為“堅持”;disease意為“疾病”;assist意為“幫助”,表示以助手的地位去協(xié)助某人完成某事。assist符合句意。故選D。
15. He assisted his neighbour ____ repairing the fence.
A. of B. in C. at D. with
解析:B 句意為“他幫助他的鄰居修理籬笆”?!皫椭橙俗瞿呈隆睉镁湫停幔螅螅椋螅?sb. with sth.或assist sb. in doing sth.。本題中空格后為repairing,應用介詞in。
16. He soon ____ himself to the way of life and has lived happily ever since.
A. arranged B. adjusted C. admitted D. avoided
解析:B本題考查易混詞語的區(qū)別。句意為“他很快適應了這種生活方式”。adjust (to)表示“適應于……”,正合題意,而A項意為“安排”;C項意為“承認”;D項意為“避免”,均不合題意。
