2、2He holds the view that the literature of a period_its values and tastes.Apronounces BsatisfiesCreflects Drecognizes答案 C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他 认为某一时期的文学可以反映出 该时期的价值观和审美观。pronounce 发音； satisfy 使满意；reflect 反映；recognize 认出，识别，所以选择 C 项。 3Mary cant afford the film as she is _a translation of an English novel.Abu
3、sy in Babsorbed toCoccupied with Ddevoted by答案 C be occupied with sth 忙于做某事。 be busy with，be absorbed in，be devoted to都可译为“从事于，忙于 ”，注意正确搭配。4They tried to _hard plastics for metals in manufacturing machine parts.Areplace BsubstituteCtake the place of Dgive way to答案 B substitute A for Breplace B with
4、A 用 A 来代替 B；A takes the place of B 用A 代替 B。give way to “让路，让步”。5How are you getting on with your business，Tom?Im glad to say it is _after several months depression.Apicking up Bmaking upCtaking up Dturning up答案 A 考查动词短语。pick up“恢复健康，情况好转”。make up“占据，弥 补”；take up“开始从事”；turn up“出现”。句意：汤姆，生意 进行得如何？很高兴在
5、几个月的萧条之后，正在好转。6Did you enjoy yourself at the party?Yes，Ive never been to _one before.Aa more excited Bthe most excitedCa more exciting Dthe most exciting答案 C 考生易误选 A 项 或 D 项，其实本题是对形容词比较级及动词ing、动词ed型形容词的考查。动词ed 型形容词表示被动的含义，多用于说明人的感受，意为“(人)感到”动词ing 型形容词表示主动的含义，多用于说明事物的性质，意为“令人”。由于题中的 one 指代 party，为表示事
6、物的词语，故选项 A 和 B 首先被排除；分析句意“我还从没有去过比这更让人兴奋的聚会”可知，横线处应为一个比较级结构，故选项 C为本题的正确答案。7What puzzles me is _he was a thief when you first saw him.Ahow you could tell Bhow could you tellCwhat could you tell Dwhat you could tell答案 A 句意：使我迷惑不解的是，你怎么会第一眼看 见 他就判断他是个小偷呢？考查名词性从句，名词性从句用 陈述语序，因此 B 和 C 可以排除。根据句子结构可知 is 后是
7、表语从句，从句中又包含一个 宾语从句， he was a thief 是 tell 的宾语，因而不用 what，故选 A 项。8Everyone in the village hoped that he would_after a few days treatment.Apick up Bcome upCkeep up Dmake up答案 A 句意：村里的每一个人都希望他能在几天的治疗后好转。pick up 好转，恢复；comp up 走上前来，发芽，发生；keep up 保持；make up 编造，弥补，化 妆，构成。故 A 项符合句意。9John says he has just arr
8、ived，but it has been raining for hours，and his shoes are completely dry.He _be joking！He _be telling the truth.Acan；mustnt Bmust ；cantCshould；mustnt Dmust；mustnt答案 B 考查情态动词。在情 态动词表推测时， must 只用于肯定句中；而can 用于否定句或疑问句中。 A、C、D 中均有不正确项 mustnt。故只有 B 项正确。答句句意：他一定是在开玩笑，他不可能在说实话。 10Over two thirds of the popul
9、ation were believed to have no_to the health care in the west rural areas in China.Aaid BbasisCbelief Daccess答案 D 句意：人们认为，中国西部 农村地区三分之二以上的人口享受不到医 疗保健。have access to“得以使用”，符合句意。aid 帮助；basis 基础；belief 信念。11This kind of medicine，_by American chemist Professor Carl in 1951，saved millions of peoples live
10、s.Abeing invented Bto be inventedCinventing Dinvented答案 D 句意：这种药 1951 年由美国化学家卡尔教授发 明，挽救了数百万人的生命。medicine 和 invent 之间存在逻辑上的被动关系， 应该选择过去分词作定语， 发明的动作是在 1951 年，意味着动作早已完成，所以选择 invented，既表被动又有完成的含义。12Even some of the casual garments we wear have brand names_them which turn us_walking advertisements.Aattac
11、hed to；into Battaching to；toCappealed to；into Dcontributed to；to答案 A attach to 贴在 上；appeal to 吸引；contribute to 捐赠，有助于。根据句意可知，应该用 attach to，且 attach to 和 brand names 之间是动宾关系，因此要用过去分词(这里的过分词短语 attached to them 作 names 的定语) 。turn.into.“把变成”，是固定短语。13Cinderella has been learning Chinese in BeijingUnivers
12、ity for the past four years.No wonder she _above her colleagues in Chinese.Astands out Bsticks outCcomes out Dsorts out答案 A 答语句意：难怪她的汉语比她的同事们学得好。stand out 突出，杰出，符合句意。14Choosing the right dictionary depends on _you want to use it for.Awhat Bwhy Chow Dwhether答案 A 句意：选择合适的词典取决于你想要用它做什么。考查宾语从句，what 引导宾语
