1. He spoke so fast that it was difficult ____.
A. to take notes B. to take notes of
B. to take note of D. make notes
解析:A 本题考查动词词组的搭配。句意为“他说得太快了很难做记录”。take notes意为“做记录;做笔记”;题中做记录的内容没说,故B项中of多余;C项表达形式有误;D项缺少不定式to。故A项正确。
2. He studied hard, ____ the exam.
A. aim at B. aiming at passing
C. aiming passing D. aim to passing
解析:B 本题考查动词短语的搭配。句意为“他努力学习,目的在于要通过考试”。aim at意为“目的在于”,其后接名词或v-ing形式。本句中aiming at passing the exam为现在分词短语作状语。故选B。
3. Washington, a state in the United States, was named ____ one of the greatest American presidents.
A. in honour of
B. instead of C. in favour of
D. by means of
解析:A 本题考查介词短语的辨析。句意为“华盛顿——美国的一个州,是为了纪念美国最伟大的总统之一华盛顿而命名的”。in honour of意为“为了纪念……”,符合题意。故选A。而B项意为“代替”;C项意为“赞成”;D项意为“通过……的方法;凭借……的手段”,均不合题意。
4. He left his homeland, ____ never ____ back again.
A. determined; to come B. being determined; to come
C. determined; coming D. determine; coming
解析:A 本题考查动词形式及其搭配。句意为“他离开家乡,决心再也不回来了”。determine作动词,表示“决定”。常用词组be determined to do/that,意为“下决心做某事”,相当于make up ones mind to do sth.。determined never to come back again作伴随状语,说明he当时的决心已定,相当于并列谓语即and was determined never to come back again,而且determine后只能接不定式作宾语。故选A。
5. The man insisted ____ a taxi for me even though I told him I lived nearby.
A. find B. to find C. on finding D. in finding
解析:C 本题考查动词搭配。insist on doing sth.为固定搭配。故选C。句意为“那个人坚持要给我找辆出租车尽管我告诉他我住在附近”。
6. He insisted ____ at once, but I refused.
A. me to start B. on us to start
C. that I would start D. that I start
解析:D 本题考查insist的用法。insist意为“坚持说,坚决主张;坚决认为”时,所接宾语从句不用虚拟语气;意为“坚持;坚决要求”时,宾语从句用“should+动词原形”,should可省略。故本题选D。句意为“他坚决要求我立刻走,但是我拒绝了”。
7. People lined up and entered the hall ____.
A. in turn B. by turns C. turning D. with turn
解析:A 本题考查固定搭配。句意为“人们排好队依次进入大厅”。in turn为固定搭配,意为“依次,一个一个地”;而by turns意为“轮流;交替”;with turn是错误表达。故选A。
8. The conference has been held to discuss the effects of tourism ____ the wildlife in the area.
A. in B. on C. at D. with
解析:B 本题考查名词与介词的搭配。“对……产生影响”应表达为have an effect on…应用介词on或upon。故选B。其余三项不符合搭配。句意为“已经召开了会议讨论旅游对这个地区野生动物的影响”。
9. The manager of the company told us that very little ____ was made of the waste materials in the past.
A. cost B. value C. use D. matter
解析:C 本题考查短语动词的被动语态及短语的搭配。句意为“公司的经理告诉我们过去废料很少被利用”。make little use of sth.意为“(很少)利用……”,其被动语态结构可以是sth. be made use of或use be made of sth.,本题用的是后者。故选C。其余三项不符合搭配和句意。
10. It is widely accepted that young babies learn to do things because certain acts lead to ____.
A. rewards B. prizes C. awards D. results
解析:A 本题考查易混词的区别。婴儿的某些行为显然不是为了获得真正意义上的奖金或奖品,而是“奖赏”。故选A。prizes表示“表扬”;awards表示“奖品;奖金”;results表示“结果”。
11. She was ____ a medal for bravery.
A. rewarded B. awarded C. praised D. prized
解析:B 本题考查动词辨析。由题干中medal可知句意为“她因勇敢而获得奖章”。而且四个选项中只有award后可接双宾语,其他均不可。故选B。
12. He can get the ____ that he will go to college by working hard.
A. chance
B. chances C. opportunity
D. opportunities
解析:A 本题考查同义名词用法辨析。“上大学”是一次机会,故可排除B、D两项。opportunity不可以与从句连用,因此排除C,故A项是唯一正确的。句意为“通过努力工作他可以得到上大学的机会”。
13. ——Im sorry. I broke your mirror.
——Oh, really?____.
A. Its OK with me B. It doesnt matter
C. Dont be sorry D. I dont care
解析:B 本题考查交际用语。句意为“对不起,我把你的镜子打碎了”。“噢,真的吗?没关系”。回答道歉一般用It doesnt matter.或Thats OK/all right.故选B。
14. The young nurse was very nervous when she ____ in her first operation.
A. resisted B. insisted C. disease D. assisted
解析:D 句意为“这个年轻的护士首次辅助做手术时非常紧张”。resist意为“抵抗;反抗”;insist意为“坚持”;disease意为“疾病”;assist意为“帮助”,表示以助手的地位去协助某人完成某事。assist符合句意。故选D。
15. He assisted his neighbour ____ repairing the fence.
A. of B. in C. at D. with
解析:B 句意为“他帮助他的邻居修理篱笆”。“帮助某人做某事”应用句型assist sb. with sth.或assist sb. in doing sth.。本题中空格后为repairing,应用介词in。
16. He soon ____ himself to the way of life and has lived happily ever since.
A. arranged B. adjusted C. admitted D. avoided
解析:B本题考查易混词语的区别。句意为“他很快适应了这种生活方式”。adjust (to)表示“适应于……”,正合题意,而A项意为“安排”;C项意为“承认”;D项意为“避免”,均不合题意。
