参考答案及解析
1.[D]。考查形容词用法和句意理解。首先,本题没有比较,故比较级less肯定不恰当;其次,其余三个选项在语法上都正确,关键是要根据前半部分的句意逻辑来确定答案。前一句属于“否定转移”,即语法上否定主句,意义上否定从句,故其句意为“我认为基尔不会是个好老师”,由逻辑可知,后半部分应为“她对孩子没有多少耐心”,因此应选含否定义的little。
2.[A]。考查动词用法。remember/forget这两个词后既可跟不定式,又可跟动名词,但表达的意思不同。接不定式时,表示的是不定式动作尚未发生;接动名词时,表示动名词代表的动作已经发生,只是“记得起”或“记不起”而已。本题空格后有明确的过去时间,表明meet这个动作已经发生,故应用其动名词形式。
3.[B]。考查代词用法。由句意不难看出,此处指的是“再过三个月”,故选含“另一(个)”的another。注意,another并非只能跟单数可数名词。其余三个代词都不合题目要求:0ther指的是不特定范围内的“其他”,而本题明显有月份的限定,故不能填入;these和those都是特指(前者为近指,后者为远指),但本题也没有特指含义。
4.[B]。考查时态。本题关键是理解but的作用。结合题目和选项可以看出,but在此用作连词,连接两个并列句,后一分句承前省略了主语Tony。既然是并列句,那么前后分句的时态应保持一致,故[B]正确。注意,此题并非cannot(…)but…这种用法,在这种用法中,but后用动词原形。
5.[c]。考查句子结构与从句连接词。由句子结构不难发现,空格后是一个从句,填入的词在从句中作主语。nothin9不合句意与常识;that不能在从句中作句子成分;anythin9看似正确,但它含有“任意”义,且它不能起连接作用,其后应当有另外的连接词。只有what既能起连接作用,又可在从句中作句子成分(主语、宾语等),它相当于anything that,故是正确答案。
6.[C]。考查副词用法。deep和deeply都是副词,区别在于前者多用于具体事物,后者多用于抽象事物。从本题来说,“深感兴趣”是抽象的,而“夜深”则是具体的,所以选[C]。
7.[D]。考查固定搭配。Give out分发,公布;put out扑灭,发出,放到外面;hold up支撑,阻止;use up用光,用完。句意明显是指燃料用完,故选[D]。
8.[C]。考查动词用法。blame不但可以指主动的“责备(别人)”,还可用于sb.be tO blame for这一习惯用法,指“某人应(为某事)担责任或受到责备”,即可用主动形式表达被动含意。
9.[C]。考查短语动词辨义。四个选项都属于短语动词这种形式的固定搭配:look for指“寻找”,set up指“建立”,turn t0指“求助于,转向”,change into指“(使)变成,换(衣服)”。结合常识不难看出,句意指“很多人都转而乘坐公共交通工具”,因此本题答案为[C]。
10.[B]。考查时态。表示一种假定的情况时,主句如果用一般将来时态,从句则用一般现在时态。
11.[C]。考查动词用法。lack既可作名词,又可作动词。作名词时,lack后可跟介词oh作动词时,lack是及物动词,其后直接跟宾语。因此[B]、[D]两项明显不对。而由句子结构可知,句子主语(his parents)就是动词lack的主语,故应用表主动的非谓语形式lacking。
12.[C]。考查介词用法。首先,space不能直接作stand的宾语,只能用in space作状语(但in不能换成 on);其次,0n the earth指“在地球(表面)上”,而in一般不与the earth连用。所以本题只能选[C]。
13.[A]。考查省略表达。S0可用于省略回答,表示与前文说的情况一样。但当S0位于句首时,句子要部分倒装,即将助动词提到主语前、S0后,构成“SO+助动词+主语”这样一种表达。只有[A]的形式正确。
14.[D]。考查时态。由于从旬是before引出的表过去的时间状语,因此主句也要用过去时态;而主句中又有一个表示时间段的状语for hours,故主句还要用完成时态。ED]项为过去完成进行时,强调在过去某一时间段内一直做某事,符合题目要求。
15.[B]。考查表达。回答Would you mind…问句(它表达的实际上是一种请求或要求),表示“不介意”时,用N0直接回答,或者用with pleasure等礼貌性用法,故答案为[B]。其余三项中,[A]和[C]都用于回答别人对自己的感谢,即“不用谢”,而[D]则为感谢他人的用语。
