贵州2018年成人学位英语考试预测试题及答案二
二、词汇和语法(21-30)
21.Mrs. Smith was so _____ about everything that no servants could please her.
A.specific
B.special
C.precise
D.particular
答案：D
解析：Be particular about sth.表示“对……挑剔，吹毛求疵”。
22.He never arrives on time and my _____ is that he feels the meetings are useless.
A.preference
B.conference
C.inference
D.reference
答案：C
解析：本题的四个选项都有"ence"的后缀把一个动词变为名词，所以我们只要背了它们的动词词根的意思，这四个词的意思就容易找出来了。Preference表示“喜欢，喜好”;conference的意思是“会议，大会”;reference表示“参考，指出”;而inference表示“推断，推论”，符合题义。
23.The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.
A.loosen
B.remove
C.relieve
D.dismiss
答案：A
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”。
24.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
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。
