2017年11月成人学位英语考试词汇语法试题及答案二十
1.The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.
A)loose
B)remove
C)relieve
D)dismiss
[答案] A
[译文] 这个小女孩非常害怕,她一直抓着我的胳膊不放。
[解析] 本题有两个选项容易混淆:A)loosen和C)relieve.Relieve的意思是“减缓导致…的减轻或缓和;免于痛苦,脱离痛苦,焦虑或者苦恼;救济,为…提供帮助或援助”,不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放开手”。
2.The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated _____ instead of mechanically.
A) artificially
B) automatically
C) manually
D) synthetically
[答案] C
[译文] 船的发电机坏了,所以需要手动操作水泵而不能机械操作。
[解析] 这也更加要求我们要“温故而知新”。因为instead of后面是mechanically(机械地),所以我们只要找到它的反义词就行了,答案C)manually手动符合题义。
3.This is what you should bear in mind: Don't _____ a salary increase before you actually get it.

[解析] 本题考察四个带有on的动词词组。Hang on意思较多,有“纠缠,紧紧握住某物;坚持不放弃;坚持不懈;打电话时不挂断;稍待等待一会儿时间”;draw on穿上,戴上(靴子, 手套等);吸收,利用;凭,靠;动用;向……支取;逗引(某人)开口说话;招来,招致;接近,靠近;wait on满足…的需要;服侍;count on表示“依赖,依靠”,符合上下文。

考查近义动词的语义及搭配用法。各选项的意思及用法是:选项A)separate使分开,区分,区别,常用结构是"separate A from B"。如:separate cause from effect区分因果关系;选项B)isolate使隔离,使孤立,常用于isolate…from结构中。如:Several towns have been isolated from the outside world by the flood.有好几个城镇因洪水与外界隔绝了。选项C)contrast对比,对照,常用于"contrast A with B"结构中。如:contrast Europe with America将欧美两洲做一番比较;选项D)distinguish区分,辨别,常用于"distinguish A from B/distinguish between A and B"结构中。如:distinguish between right and wrong/distinguish right from wrong明辨是非。根据题干中的介词及句意,可判断出选项D)应为正确答案。全句意思为“众所周知,色盲的人很难区分红色与绿色”。
