I.从下列各句四个选项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。 1. When they join the work force, their employers and associates alike will soon realize that the behavior of these rude young people is closer to ______ of animals than civilized individuals. A. those B. which C. what D. that 这是一个包含宾语从句的主从复合句,这个宾语从句的主语是behavior,后面的表语是对它的描述,这些粗鲁的年轻人行为与动物的行为进行比较。即行为与行为的比较,句中划线处指的是行为behavior, 以免与前面的behavior重复,在英语中用that指代前面已经出现的behavior的单数形式。如若前面出现某名词的复数形式,后面指代词通常用those。
2. Although there is no doubt that _____ people benefit from heart surgery, critics of our health-care systems point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. A. a great deal of B. a great amount of C. a great number of D. the number of 这道题中的四个选项比较相像,前三者都表示大量的意思,最后一个是表示“…的数量”的意思,根据这句话的意思可以判断出来,划线处应是大量的意思。但是前两个选项后面跟不可数名词,只有C选项后可以跟可数名词。
3. If I ______ a little earlier, I would have caught the train. A. left B. would leave C. leave D. had left 这是一个基本的虚拟语气句型。在此句中是对过去的事实进行相反的假设,意思是:如果我早点出发的话,我就赶上火车了。事实上,他是出来晚了才没有赶上火车。那这种对过去的事实进行相反的假设,if 条件句应用过去完成时,即D选项 had left, 主句应是would/should +现在完成时。
4. Rude people are those whose behavior shows little respect for the rules that the majority _____. A. have B. own C. follow D. like 这是一个包含定语从句的主从复合句,但是此句中考查的不是定语从句这个知识点,而是一个动词的习惯性用法。That引导的定语从句修饰rules,rules 在这个定语从句中充当宾语,而划线处应当填其相应的谓语动词。follow the rules 是习惯性用法,表示遵循这些原则、规章制度。
5. There is great pleasure in watching wildlife in natural or near-natural environments, and tourism can _____ the income of countries. A. add to B. take to C. keep to D. see to 这道题考查的词组的掌握。四个选项的词组意思是完全不一样的。这种情况下就看哪一个更符合该句的逻辑意思。显然应是旅游业能够增加国家的收入,增加应是add to。take to表示“开始, 喜欢, 沉溺于”, keep to 表示“遵循”, see to 表示“负责,注意”。
6. He helped me and I hope I can do something for him ______. A. in turn B. for return C. by turn D. in return 这句话的意思是“他帮助了我,我希望能够为他做些事情作为回报。”四个选项看起来比较相像,只有D选项表示“回报”的意思。In turn 是轮流的意思 或者by turns
7. We can come to the _____ that the more we practice, the more skillful we will be. A. tradition B. generation C. conclusion D. fact |
