1. The experienced merchant made ____ that I would get into trouble doing business with a company like that.
A. an advice B. a decision C. a forecast D. a design
解析:C 本题考查词语辨析。根据题意:“这位有经验的商人预测:如果我与这种公司做生意的话,我将会陷入困境”。这只是“预测”,既不是advice(建议),decision(决定),也不是design(设计),只有forecast符合题意。
2. The little chick ____ the earthworm, deciding whether to swallow it or let it go.
A. stared at B. glimpsed at C. looked into D. glared at
解析:A 本题考查同义词组的辨析。A指“盯着看”;B指“瞥一眼”;C指“调查”;D指“怒视”。句意为“小鸡盯着蚯蚓看,来决定是吃它还是放它走”。故选A。
3. The ____ aim of the test is to know if we get the key point.
A. major B. mostly C. most D. majority
解析:A 本题考查词语辨析。A项为形容词,表示“主要的,主修的”;B项为副词,表示“主要地”;C项既可作形容词,也可作副词,但不符合题意;D项为名词,意为“大多数”。
4. The ____ of modern living is away from old customs.
A. trend B. branch C. change D. time
解析:A 本题考查词语辨析。题意为“现代生活的趋势是摆脱旧习俗”。
5. I like to study the ____ history of China.
A. contemporary B. now C. nowadays D. today
解析:A 本题考查词语辨析。history 是名词,前面要用形容词来修饰。now (现在)是副词,today (今天)多用来作名词或副词。nowadays 是副词“现今,现时”的意思,不能修饰history。
6. Deng Yaping ____ the Chinese players.
A. made an example of B. has a good example with
C. is for example of D. set a good example to
解析:D 本题考查example相关词组的辨析。题意为“邓亚萍为中国的运动员们树立了好榜样”。D项表示“给某人树立榜样”。A项表示“处罚某人”,所以A项不能选。B、C项是干扰项。
7. The ancient music instrument sounds ____.
A. amazed B. amazing C. amazement D. amaze
解析:B 本题考查amaze相关词的区别。sound在此要接形容词作表语,amaze是动词,所以C、D不能选。amazed是“(人)惊奇的”, 只有amazing是褒义形容词。
8. Victor apologized for ____ to inform me of the change in the plane.
A. his being not able B. him not to be able
C. his not being able D. him to be not able
解析:C本题考查动名词作宾语的用法。 介词后一般跟动名词作宾语,故排除B、D两项。非谓语动词的否定形式均在非谓语动词前加not。
9. Dont do everything ____ the way others do.
A. / B. where C. on D. by
解析:A 本题考查way的用法。in this/that/the way中的介词常可省略。
10. I want to have tea at home ____ walking outside. Its nice inside.
A. instead of B. instead
C. in the place of D. indeed
解析:A 本题考查易混词的用法。instead of中的of为介词,后跟动名词,其后的内容是被否定的。instead前面的内容则是被肯定的。C项意为“在……地方”,D项意为“真正的”。
11. She went ____ the missing child.
A. in search of B. in search for
C. in the search of D. in hope of
解析:A 本题考查固定短语。题意为“她去寻找走失的孩子”。此处意为“寻找”,故选A。
12. ——What are you considering ____ the remaining building materials?
——Youre asking me? Im also puzzled about it myself.
A. doing with B. dealing with C. to do with D. to deal with
解析:A 本题考查词组辨析。do with常与what搭配,而deal with常与how搭配,且consider后常接动名词。
13. Some of the rubbish, ____ food, paper and iron, rots away over a long period of time.
A. such as B. for example C. namely D. that is
解析:A本题考查易混词语的区别。for example一般只列举同类人或物中的“一个”为例,常用逗号与句中其他部分隔开;that is和namely可把前面所述情况全部举出。
14. They won the battle for inventing a ____ weapon.
A. dead B. deadly C. death D. die
解析:B 本题考查词语辨析。题意为“由于发明了一种致命的武器,他们赢得了这场战役”。dead表示“死的,无生命的”,与weapon搭配不合适;而C、D项词性不合适。
15. In order to change attitudes ____ employing women, the government is bringing in new laws.(2004北京春季,25)
A. about B. of C. towards D. on
解析:C 本题考查固定搭配。attitudes towards…表示“对……的态度”。
16. ____ SARS, the doctors and the nurses were well separated from others, and taken good care of.
A. Being infected with B. Having infected with
C. Infected with D. To infected with
解析:C 本题考查infect的用法,由于infect和the doctors and nur-ses是被动关系,故排除B、D;A项表示进行与被动,含义不对。
17. I dont enjoy the pain, but I can ____ it.
A. put up B. live by C. live with D. live up to
解析: C 本题考查短语辨析。put up表示“张贴,举起”,put up with才表示“忍受,忍耐”。题意为“我不喜欢痛苦,但我可以忍受痛苦”。故选C。live by表示“靠……为生”;live up to表示“遵守,不辜负,活到”,都不符合题意。
18. It is said in Australia there is more land than the government knows ____.(NMET 2002,33)
A. it what to do with B. what to do with
C. what to do with it D. to do what with it
解析:C 本题考查do with的用法。what to do with sth.结构在句中作宾语。
19. You must ____ the warning.
A. take a note of B. take notes of
C. take note of D. make a note of
解析:C 本题考查动词词组辨析。A、B、D三项意为“记下,记录”;C项意为“留心,注意”,符合题意。
20. He was a heavy smoker. I ____ him to give up smoking but he just wouldnt listen to me.
A. suggested B. tried to persuade
C. persuaded D. managed
解析:B 本题考查persuade的用法。如果说而不服或劝而不服,则不能用persuade。句中“说服”是一种愿望或企图,所以应用try to persuade或advise等词。不能说I persuaded him to do it but he wouldnt, 因为I persuaded him to do it表示“已经说服了他做那件事”,这样前句与后句在意思上相互矛盾。应说I tried to persuade him to do it but he wouldnt…或I advised him to do it but he wouldnt…。另外suggest后面不可接复合不定式;manage to do sth.表示“成功地做成某事”。
21. Though ____ money, his parents managed to send him to university.
(2002上海,33)
A. lacked B. lack C. lacking D. to lack
解析:C 本题考查状语从句的省略和lack的用法。lack意为“缺乏”,可用作及物动词,又因主语与动词之间存在主谓关系,所以此题要用表示主动含义的lacking作状语;though是连词,引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”,全句应为though (they were) lacking money。整句话的意思是“虽然缺钱,他的父母仍然设法送他进了大学”。
22. ____ most Chinese women, she is very kind.
A. As to B. As for C. As with D. As
解析:C 本题考查as with的用法。as with表示“和……一样”,as表示“作为……”, as to表示“至于,关于”,都不符合题意。
23. ____ such heavy pollution already, it may now be too late to do something to control it.
A. Having suffered B. Suffering
C. To suffer D. Suffered
解析:A 本题考查分词短语作状语的用法。现在分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语必须是句子的主语,而不定式前应看作是省略了逻辑主语for people,这样应该用现在分词。
24. He has ____ housework to do, so he seldom goes to the cinema with his child.
A. a large number of B. a great many
C. a little D. a great deal of
解析:D 本题考查短语辨析。housework为不可数名词,要由a great deal of 来修饰;a little也可修饰不可数名词,但与语境“没时间陪他的孩子看电影”相反;a large number和a great many只能修饰可数名词复数。
25. We shouldn?蒺t have the wrong attitude towards the disabled people. It is probable that one day we will ____ with a disability.
A. make up B. come up C. end up D. get up
解析:C 本题考查固定短语。make up表示“化妆”;come up表示“走过来”;get up表示“起床”;三者都不符合句意,而end up with表示“以……结束”,正符合题意。题意为“我们对残疾人不该有错误的态度,可能有一天我们也会残疾”。
26. Last year the number of death increased by 2%—5% ____ the year before last.
A. comparing B. comparing with
C. to compare with D. compared with
解析:D 本题考查compared with 作状语。compare与主语之间为被动关系,故选D。
