單項填空
1.It never occurred to me ______ you could succeed in persuading him to change his mind.
A.which B.what
C.that D.if
解析 考查固定句型。It occurs/occurred to sb.that...是固定句型,意思是:某人突然想起……,其中that引導主語從句,故選C項。
答案 C
2.When you get the paper back,pay special attention to what ______.
A.have marked B.have been marked
C.had marked D.had been marked
解析 句意:當你拿回試卷時須特別注意已經(jīng)標注過的部分。本題考查動詞的時態(tài),該句強調(diào)過去已經(jīng)修改過的東西并強調(diào)對現(xiàn)在的影響,用現(xiàn)在完成時,又因其主語為what,所以用被動語態(tài)。故用現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)。
答案 B
3.A teacher should make his lessons simple enough for the students to ______.
A.take off B.take up
C.take in D.take down
解析 考查詞組辨析。句意:老師應該使他的課足夠簡單到讓學生理解。take off起飛,成功;take up從事;take in吸收;take down記下。
答案 C
4.When she visited the children’s home,it ______her that she could adopt a homeless child.
A.ran into B.happened to
C.occurred to D.was occurred to
解析 考查動詞短語辨析。此處為句型It occurs to sb.that...某人突然想起……。A項表示“偶然感到”,不合句意。happen to sb.表示“某事發(fā)生在某人身上”,不合語境,故排除B項;occur不用于被動語態(tài),故D項被排除。
答案 C
5.The ______ cause of his illness was extreme drinking,but the real cause was his deep sadness on his wife’s death.
A.major B.apparent
C.clear D.serious
解析 句意:他的病表面上是因為過度飲酒,真實的原因是他妻子的去世使他過度悲傷。故選apparent“表面上的”。major意為“主要的”;clear意為“清楚的”;serious意為“嚴肅的,認真的”。
答案 B
6.There’s a camping shop in town that has tents for ______ at $10 a week.
A.hire B.sale
C.employ D.repair
解析 句意:鎮(zhèn)上有一家宿營設備商店出租帳篷,價格一周10美元。根據(jù)“$10 a week”可知這是租用,不是sale出售;employ指“雇用”,跟人作賓語。
答案 A
7.The bell rang,______ that class was over.
A.to indicate B.indicating
C.indicated D.having indicating
解析 indicate“表示,表明”。句意:鈴響了,表示下課了。
答案 B
8.He was supposed to______to the meeting,but he didn’t.
A.come B.have come
C.be coming D.coming
解析 to have come表示動作已經(jīng)完成。句意:他本該到會的,但他沒有。
答案 B
9.Many students listened to the lecture,but I wondered how much work they took______.
A.out B.up
C.off D.in
解析 take out表示“取出”,take up表示“從事,占用”,take off表示“起飛,脫下”,均不合題意。take in此處表示“吸收,理解”。
答案 D
10.Don’t worry about the present situation in the world;______ of people prefer peace to war.
A.the most B.the great part
C.the majority D.the number
解析 根據(jù)題意:大多數(shù)人更喜歡和平而不喜歡戰(zhàn)爭。A項應為most of;D項表示“……的數(shù)目”;B項表示“物體的一部分”;只有the majority符合題意。
答案 C
11.In the school,girls majoring in nursing are ______ the majority.
A.in B.on
C.to D.with
解析 in the majority“占大多數(shù)”。句意:在那所學校,學護理的女生占大多數(shù)。
答案 A
12.With a nod of his head,he ______ me where I should sit.
A.indicated to B.indicated that
C.indicate to D.indicate that
解析 indicate that后跟從句,不合題意。indicate to此處為“向某人暗示,向某人表明”。時態(tài)應用過去時或一般現(xiàn)在時,但C項沒用單數(shù)。
答案 A
13.It’s believed that parks are to the city______lungs are to the body.
A.what B.like
C.that D.which
解析 考查名詞性從句的引導詞。what引導從句,不能用like,因為like是介詞。句意:大家公認,公園之于城市,就像兩肺之于人體。
答案 A
14.By no means ______ to your parents.
A.is this the first time you are lying
B.this is the first time you have lied
C.this is the first time you tell a lie
D.is this the first time you have lied
解析 考查倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。否定詞by no means“決不”放在句首,主句需用部分倒裝。this is the first time+主語+現(xiàn)在完成時,為固定結(jié)構(gòu),故選D項。
答案 D
15.It suddenly ______ to the detective that the millionaire was probably murdered by his own daughter.
A.happened B.occurred
C.thought D.took place
解析 由空格后的to可知,選B項。It occurs to sb.that...一個想法突然呈現(xiàn)……。
答案 B
