試題答案與解析
1. D)【句意】他沒把事情全告訴我,就是這樣。
【難點(diǎn)】That’s it意為“對(duì)了”,等于That’s right,或“就這樣,完了”,等于That’s all.That’s that是一句加強(qiáng)語氣的用語,表示決心、結(jié)束爭論、講完故事等時(shí)使用的用語,意為“就是這樣;就是那么回事;再?zèng)]什么可說的”。根據(jù)題意,選項(xiàng)D)正確。
2. C)【句意】隨著自然界動(dòng)物居所的消失,瀕危物種的數(shù)量每年也在增加。
【難點(diǎn)】endangered species意為“瀕危物種”,endangered表示被動(dòng),不能換成endangering,因?yàn)?ing形式表示主動(dòng)。the amount of 修飾不可數(shù)名詞,所以選項(xiàng)A)不對(duì);the quantity of和the majority of雖可修飾可數(shù)名詞,但其中的endangering不合語法,所以選C)。
3. A)【句意】物價(jià)應(yīng)在供求量相等的水平上達(dá)到平衡。
【難點(diǎn)】be equal to意為“與…相等”,等于及物動(dòng)詞equal。在at which引導(dǎo)的定語從句中,主語為第三人稱單數(shù),而B)項(xiàng)equal又沒有詞尾s,C)和D)兩項(xiàng)的形式又不正確,所以A)項(xiàng)正確,因其既合語法也合句意。
4. C)【句意】房客必須根據(jù)協(xié)議條款作好裝修房產(chǎn)的準(zhǔn)備。
【難點(diǎn)】with regard to意為“有關(guān),關(guān)于”;in relation to意為“與…相關(guān)”;in accordance with意為“根據(jù),按照”;provided by不是習(xí)語搭配。根據(jù)題意,應(yīng)選C)。
5. A)【句意】約翰遜先生非常高興來參加我們的晚會(huì)。
【難點(diǎn)】“more than+形容詞”是一個(gè)常見的加強(qiáng)語氣的結(jié)構(gòu),意為“非常…,豈只”,如:more than enough夠得用不了。be pleased to do是本句要考的另一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu),意為“高興做某事”。綜合兩個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu),正確的語序應(yīng)該是A)。
6. B)【句意】她想提議委員會(huì)暫時(shí)終止對(duì)這個(gè)問題的討論。
【難點(diǎn)】本句中,move后面加that從句時(shí),從句中要求使用虛擬語氣形式,即(should)+動(dòng)詞原形。所以選項(xiàng)中只有B)對(duì)。
7. B)【句意】有跡象顯示,經(jīng)??措娨暤娜丝赡軙?huì)變得過分消極。
【難點(diǎn)】本句中的suggest不作“建議”講,而是“顯示,暗示,表明”之意,所以that從句中不接虛擬語氣。It在本句中作形式主語,真實(shí)主語是that從句。
8. C)【句意】如果必要,他將留在這里。
【難點(diǎn)】if need be是一個(gè)習(xí)語搭配,意為“必要的話”。
9. D)【句意】如果你要求,出版商會(huì)把他們的新書給你寄個(gè)樣本來。
【難點(diǎn)】when requested是when it is requested by you的省略形式。when, while等詞引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句時(shí),這種省略經(jīng)常發(fā)生。
10. C)【句意】看地圖的最有效方式是不把它看作是一張紙,而看作是組織起來的地理信息的記錄。
【難點(diǎn)】本句考查的是詞序。organized是過去分詞,作定語修飾information,副詞geographically修飾動(dòng)詞變來的過去分詞organized,所以C)項(xiàng)正確。
