1. The two sides debated ____ each other ____ who was the better for a whole day.
A. to; to B. with; about C. over; on D.between; in
解析:B 本题考查debate的介词搭配。debate with sb. about/over sth.是固定搭配,表示“与某人辩论某事”。全句的意思是“双方就谁更好一些争论了整整一天”。故选B。
2. Robert suggested Lester ____ the construction of the new building.
A. to undertake B. undertook carrying out
C. undertake to carry out D. undertake
解析:D 本题考查suggest和undertake的用法。从语境看,undertake在此处用作“从事,承担做某事”,后接不定式;又因suggest后面接从句时要用(should)do的形式。故答案为D。
3. We think he is wrong in the last ____.
A. analysis B. analyse C. check D. examine
解析:A 本题考查analysis的固定搭配。in the last analysis意为“归根结底”,是一个介词短语,B项中的analyse是动词,词性不符合要求;C、D项词义不符合题意,也可排除。
4. The weather looks ____.
A. promise B. promising C. to promise D. promises
解析:B 本题考查promising的用法。句意为“天气有所好转”。四个选项中只有promising是形容词,表示“有希望的,有所好转的”。故选B。此句中look是系动词。
5. I want to ____ a shop, but my parents didnt ____.
A. open; promise B. start; agree
C. happen; agree D. begin; promise
解析:A 本题主要考查动词的用法。A项promise是不及物动词,表示“答应,允诺”,open a shop表示“开一家商店”;B项start指创办较大的工厂、学校等,一般不与shop搭配;C项happen是不及物动词;D项begin不作“开办,开创”讲,只有“开始”的意思。因此答案为A。整句话的意思是“我想开一个商店,但我的父母不同意”。
6. ——____ we move the picture over there? Do you think it will look better?
——I cant agree with you more.
A. What you think B. What if
C. Even if D. Only if
解析:B 本题考查交际用语。答语表示十分赞同对方的观点。由此可知上一句表示提议,“如果我们……怎么样?”故选B。
7. What problem ____ at the conference?
A. was come up B. was come up with
C. raised D. come up
解析:B 本题考查固定搭配。come up表示“长出,升起,出现”等,而come up with表示“提出”,A项显然不正确;C项应该用被动语态was raised;D项时态不对,应该用came up。
8. Dont trust him. He is not ____.
A. reliable B. dependent C. believed D. faithfully
解析:A 本题考查reliable的用法。B项意为“依赖的”,C项意为“被相信”,逻辑意义不顺,D项是副词,不能够作表语,故应选A项。
9. She told me that her camera was ____.
A. missed B. robbed C. lost D. lain
解析:C 本题考查易混词的区别。选项中只有C项意为“丢失的”,A项若改为missing,则符合题意,B项结构搭配错误,D项表述有误。
10. Three men ____ a local bank ____ a large amount of money last night.
A. robbed; from B. robbed; by C. robbed; of D. robbed; for
解析:C 本题考查rob的用法。rob a place of sth.为固定搭配,表示“从某地抢走某物”。
11. The hotline helps to keep the readers ____ whats happening at each moment.
A. informing of B. informed of
C. be informed to D. is informed that
解析:B 本题考查inform的用法。分析题意,含被动意义,表示“被告知的”,只有B项符合题干要求。A项表正在进行,与句意不符,C、D两项系动词be多余。
12. Our attention was suddenly ____ a butterfly outside the window when Miss Li was talking.
A. drawing B. drawn to C. drawn D. drawing
解析:B 本题考查固定短语的用法。draw attention to sb.变为被动结构,即为attention be drawn to sb.结构。本题题意为“李小姐正在说话的时候,我们的注意力忽然被窗外的一只蝴蝶吸引去了”。
