11.You′d better go there by train.The plane ticket is__________ the train ticket.
A.as expensive three times as
B.as three times expensive as
C.three times as expensive as
D.more expensive three times than
答案:C
【译文】你乘火车去那儿。飞机票是火车票的三倍。
【答案解析】本题考查英文倍数的表达方式。用形容词表达倍数的方式有:①……倍数+形容词(或副词)的比较级+than(This rope is twice longer than that one.这根绳的长度是那根绳的三倍。)②……倍数+as+形容词(或much)或副词+as(Asia is four times as large as Europe.亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。)③……倍数+the size(length,height…)of (This street is four times the length of that street.这条街是那条街的四倍长。)。可以看出,C为正确的表达方式。
12.She became the first woman to enter the school but withdrew after a few days__________stress.
A.because of
B.in spite of
C.instead of
D.in honor of
答案:A
【译文】她是个进入这个学校的女性,但是几天之后就因为压力而退学了。
【答案解析】本题考查词组辨析。because of,因为;in spite of,尽管;instead of,而不是;in honor of,为纪念……。后半句说到几天之后就退学了(withdraw),后面跟的是stress(压力),所以应该是因果关系,选择A。
13.The man moved __________ forward and looked over the edge, shrinking his shoulders.
A.accurately
B.cautiously
C.brilliantly
D.disappointedly
答案:B
【译文】那个人小心翼翼地挪到边上并往外看了一眼,就把肩膀缩了回来。
【答案解析】本题考查副词辨析。accurately,地;cautiously,小心地,谨慎地;bril.liantly,明亮地,聪明地;disappointedly,失望地。因为原句是指到边上去看,所以应该是小心翼翼地挪过去。
14.She always buys __________ my birthday.
A.something awful to
B.anything awful to
C.something nice for
D.anything nice for
答案:C
【译文】 她经常为我的生日买一些很漂亮的东西。
【答案解析】本题考查不定代词的用法。肯定句中表示“一些东西”用something,所以先排除B和D。awful,可怕的。所以选择C。
15.Many a man __________ life is meaningless without a purpose.
A.thinks
B.thinking
C.have thought
D.think
答案:A
【译文】很多人认为没有目的的生活是没有意义的。
【答案解析】本题考查特殊词组的用法。many a表示“很多”,后面的名词用单数,谓语动词也跟主语一致用第三人称单数,所以选A。
16.The president devoted his energies to __________ the curricula, making the education offered at Washington College as meaningful as possible.
A.updating
B.update
C.be updated
D.have updated
答案:A
【译文】校长把他的精力都奉献在更新课程上,以使华盛顿大学所提供的教育尽可能有意义。
【答案解析】本题考查固定表达方式的搭配。devote…to…,这里的to是介词,后面所跟的动词应该用ing形式,所以选A。
17.Some of the suggestions have been adopted __________ others turned down as they are quite impracticable.
A.and
B.so
C.but
D.since
答案:C
【译文】有些建议被采纳了,但是其他的却因为非常不实际而被拒绝了。
【答案解析】本题考查前后语句的逻辑关系。前面说有些被采纳了,后面说其他的被拒绝了,这是两种相反的结果,所以应该用转折连词but。
18.It is from my grandparents __________ I learned a lot.
A.who
B.whom
C.that
D.which
答案:C
【译文】从我祖父母那里我学到了很多。
【答案解析】本题考查强调句型(It is…that/who…)的用法。如:It was in the street that my mother met Tom yesterday(昨天,我母亲是在街上遇见汤姆的)。
19.Classes __________ ,the students left for home without delay.
A.were over
B.being over
C.are over
D.over
答案:B
【译文】下课后,同学们没有耽误时间直接回家了。
【答案解析】本题考查非谓语动词的用法。当分词短语的主语和句子主语不一致的时候,要用独立主格形式,因此只有B符合语法结构。更多分词独立主格的例子:It being Sun-day,you needn’t go to sch001.(因为是星期天,你用不着去上学。)All the work done,you can have a rest.(所有的工作都完成了,可以休息了。)
20.Don′t forget to write to me, __________ ?
A.will you
B.didn't you
C.are you
D.don't you
答案:A
【译文】别忘了给我写信,好吗?
【答案解析】此句测试祈使句的反意疑问句。如果是祈使句的反意疑问句,后面的反问一般用will you,如:Speak louder,will you?(请大声点,好吗?)因此C符合题意。
