參考答案

1.A

2.B

3.D

4.C

5.D

6.D

7.D解析：本題測(cè)試形容詞辨析。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)來描述，而我卻認(rèn)為它是這個(gè)計(jì)劃中最重要的部分。

8.C

9.B考查反義疑問句。原句應(yīng)是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反義疑問句的規(guī)則是陳述部分是肯定式，疑問部分應(yīng)是否定式。Wouldthink表示推測(cè)，疑問部分也應(yīng)選擇would。選項(xiàng)B是正確的?！揪渥哟笠狻磕汶y道還認(rèn)為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

10.B解析：theeducationsystem是主語，謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)；thedesiredresults意為“期望的結(jié)果”。

11.D

12.Dapplyto應(yīng)用；applyfor申請(qǐng)

13.D

14.B

15.A

16.C

17.C

18.Bsetout意為“出發(fā)，動(dòng)身”。

19.A解析：favor：幫助，一般用domeafavor；good：好處；help不與do搭配：kindness：善良。故選A。

20.A

21.B28．答案為B

此題測(cè)試詞組記憶。beinvolvedin意為“被扯進(jìn)、被卷入”。

22.B解析：本題屬邏輯題。下文第二段第四句已有提示。詞組inorderto表示：目的是什么。

23.B解析：第22題語境中的invent與該題選擇項(xiàng)D．created是同義詞，本段第二句“Manyofthemwere...inventors”也提供了同樣的線索。而A．employed(使用)，C．operated(開動(dòng))，D．controled(控制)都表示如何使用機(jī)器，不符合題意。

24.C解析：電視是一個(gè)變化的方面。它的變化有的地方是好的，有的地方是不好的。

25.D解析：destinationswereunchanged為“目的地沒有改變”，符合上下文意思，故選D。

26.A解析：上句的意思是：Aland，wealth，naturalresources，laboursupply都是有助于英國成為下業(yè)革命中心的重要因素。本句中的they指factors，意思是：這些因素還不夠，與前句形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選A項(xiàng)為正確答案。其他選項(xiàng)要么表示同類的增加，要么表示加強(qiáng)語氣，均不符合題意。

27.D解析：本題屬詞選題。famous著名的，forgotten忘記的，strange奇怪的，均不切題。只有unknown(不知名的)符合。

28.D

29.C

30.A解析：根據(jù)上下文，這個(gè)空格應(yīng)填表示時(shí)間的詞，而不是表示結(jié)果的詞。
