【答案与解析】
1. C。used to do sth. 表示过去的习惯(过去经常反复发生的动作)或状态(现在已不复存在),只有过去式一种形式,用于所有人称。be used to doing sth. 意为“习惯于做某事”,其中to是介词,后须接名词或动词-ing形式。由but now可知前一句说的是过去的情况,后一空说的是现在的情况。
2. B。当“数词+名词+形容词”作前置定语时,它们之间要用连字符,并且名词要用单数形式。
3. A。afford表示“花得起、负担得起”时,常和can, could 等情态动词连用,后面可接名词、代词或动词不定式。
4. B。形容词作定语修饰something, anything, nothing, anywhere, somewhere, nowhere 等不定代词时,形容词须位于它们的后面,不能位于它们的前面,由此可排除A。再根据句确定选B。
5. A。本题旨在考查have to与must表示“必须”时的区别。must着重于表示主观上认为有义务,有必要,have to着重于表示客观上的需要,含有“不得不”的意味。由题干答语中的For your eyes这一客观原因,表示客观上“不得不停止玩电脑游戏”,所以A选项正确。
6. B。本题旨在考查even though的用法。even though意为“即使”、“纵然”,引导让步状语从句。根据题干空白前后文的意思,B选项符合句意
7. C。本题旨在考查pay attention to短语的用法及汉语表示“听”的英语表达式。pay attention to意为“注意”,是固定短语,短语中的to为介词,后接动词时用v-ing形式;表示“在课堂上听老师讲”动词应用listen to the teacher,所以C选项正确。
8. C。本题旨在考查give up的用法。give up意为“放弃”,后接动词时用v-ing形式。根据题干He coughed day and night句可知,第二句意为“妻子叫他放弃抽烟”。在表示“要求某人做某事”时,其句型为ask sb. to do sth.,所以C选项正确。
