25、“据，按照，在方面 ”；B 项意为“支持，赞成” ；C项意为“为纪念，为庆祝，向表示敬意” ；D 项意为 “负责，主管” 。由此结合空后的“social backgrounds”和语境可知，in terms of 与题意相符。答案： A3解析： 考查非谓语动词。句意为：刚在成都定居时，Maria 发现自己很不适应这里的辛辣食物。分析句子结构可知，此处应填非谓语动词，settle 与其逻辑主语 Maria 之间构成主动关系，而且动作已经发生，故选 A，现在分词作时间状语。答案： A4解析： 考查反意疑问句。若陈述部分是一个主从复合句，附加问句一般要与主句保持一致，根据本题中的“I told Mo
26、m”可知 B 项正确。答案： B5解析： 考查非谓语动词。句意为：你能给我介绍一款高性能的机器吗？我很乐意。因为这款车即使在潮湿的道路上也能运行很好，所以很受欢迎。handle 和 this kind of car 是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用 handle 的过去分词形式，选 A。 答案： A6解析： 考查形容词作状语。句意为：这个男人喝醉了，睡了。当他醒来的时候，他发现他的鞋子没脱。drunk 喝醉的，形容词作状语表状态。答案： D7解析： 考查动词词义。句意为：尽管他将文件仔细地看了一遍又一遍，但是遗憾地发现他仍忽略了一个重要细节。此句强调无意中忽视，故选 overlook。答案： B8解析

29、 a decision about就做出决定；function 作用，功能，职能；make friends with 与交朋友。答案： C13解析： 考查非谓语动词。主语 he 与动词 drive 之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词 Driven 作原因状语。答案： C14解析： 考查名词辨析。句意为：双方都决意得到他们想要的东西，似乎没有妥协的可能。competence 能力，胜任，本领；composition 成分，作品；competition 竞争；compromise 妥协，折中。答案： D15解析： 考查情景交际。答语语意是：为什么不呢？如果我是你，我肯定会接受的。根据答语第二句
