1. Whether the viewpoint is right or wrong, it is just ____ opinion.
A. a matter of B. the matter of
C. as a matter of D. no matter what
解析:A 本题考查词组用法。根据题意“无论这个观点是对还是错,这只是见解问题”。可知应选A。D项no matter what表示“无论什么”,与题意不符。
2. The world ____ seven continents and four oceans.
A. is made of B. is made from C. consists in D. consists of
解析:D 本题考查词组辨析。题意为“地球是由七大洲和四大洋组成的”。be made of和be made from都表示“用……造成”,只是前者看得出原材料;而后者看不出原材料;consist in表示“存在于”;只有consist of表示“由……组成”,故正确答案为D。
3. As time went by, the thing hardly ____ few.
A. was known to B. was unknown to
C. was famous to D. was well-known to
解析:B 本题考查词组辨析。题目中的hardly是否定词,表示“几乎不”;few也是否定词,指“很少人或几乎没人”,双重否定表肯定。题意为“随着时间的流逝,几乎没人知道这件事了”。此处表示几乎没人知道,因此应该用be unknown to,其它三个选项与题意不符。故答案是B。
4. Theory is on the ____ of practice.
A. basis B. beginning C. level D. form
解析:A 本题考查名词辨析。选项中basis表示“基础,根据”;beginning表示“开始”;level表示“水平,标准”;form表示“形式”,题意为“理论以实践为根据”。
5. The party ____ the singing of Graduation Song.
A. ended up B. ended at
C. ended up in D. ended up with
解析:D 本题考查词组。选项中A指“结束”;B指“在……结束”;C指“以……告终”;D指“以……结束”。题意为“晚会最后以唱《毕业歌》而结束”。
6. Children usually ____ the teachers as their parents in the school.
A. think B. judge C. consider D. feel
解析:C 本题考查动词用法。根据题意理解。这里表示把老师当作父母,选项中只有consider与as连用有此意。选项think表示“认为,觉得”;judge表示“判断”;feel表示“觉得”,都与题意不符题意为“在学校里孩子们通常把老师当成他们的父母”。因此答案是C。
7. Charles Babbage is generally considered ____ the first computer.
A. to invent B. inventing
C. to have invented D. having invented
解析:C 本题考查动词用法。根据题意“查尔斯•巴比吉被普遍认为发明了第一台计算机”。谓语动词consider的被动式是be considered to…,因此这里应该用动词不定式,又因为动作是发生在consider之前,因此要用不定式的完成式,故选C,其他选项与题意不符。
8. The arrival of canals was of great ____ to many industries.
A. price B. cost C. value D. usefulness
解析:C 本题考查“be of+抽象名词”的用法。这里由“of+抽象名词”结构作定语相当于一个形容词,故应该用value,其他选项无此用法。
9. The little girl was told not to ____ the strangers.
A. contact B. approach C. reach D. touch
解析:B 此题考查动词用法。选项中contact表示“接触,联系”,通常与介词with连用;approach表示“接近,与……打交道”,后面直接跟名词;reach表示“到达,抵达”;touch表示“接触”时,要与介词with连用。题意为“小女孩被告知不要和陌生人打交道”。故选B。
