新概念英语第二册课后习题(超全)

新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson 11. b选b最为正确。

因为a.d.都与课文内容不符合，也不合乎逻辑；c.的意思是“他们没有注意他”，而作者的意图并不是想让他们注意他，而是想让他们停止谈话。

所以选b. 最能表达作者当时心里的感受。

2．c其余3个答案都与原句意思不符合。

3．b因为a. to 不对，可以是He went to the theatre;c. into 也不对，可以是He went into the theatre;d. on更不符合语法，表示在某一个地方用介词in 或at, in 表示在大的空间，如国家，城市等，at 则表示在小的地点或空间，如atthe office, at the theatre 等, 所以选b.是正确的。

4．db. above(在……上方)；c. ahead of (在……的前面，在……之前)不和behind 对应，也不强调位置的前后顺序。

a. before 和 d. infront of 都是和behind对应的，都有“在……前面”的意思。

但in front of 更具体的强调位置，而before则包含更宽泛的意思，即时间上，空间，次序，登记，重要性方面的“在……前面”5．c因为用 a. Where, b. why, d. when 提问都不符合逻辑，都不是针对状态提问的，只有How提问，才能用Angry回答。

6．ab. they 只做主语； c. their只能做定语；d. us 虽然可以做宾语，但与前一句意思不符合。

7．da. none是代词，很少用在名词前面；b. any 只能用在否定句或疑问句中；c. not any 不符合语法，因为前面没有助动词did.8.ba. chair(椅子)， c. armchair(手扶椅) d. class(班级) 这3个选择都和seat的意思不符合。

Seat是”座位，座席”的意思。

强调的是可供坐下的地方，不是具体的椅子。

新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson 11。

b选b最为正确。

因为a。

d。

都与课文内容不符合,也不合乎逻辑；c.的意思是“他们没有注意他”，而作者的意图并不是想让他们注意他，而是想让他们停止谈话。

所以选b. 最能表达作者当时心里的感受。

2．c其余3个答案都与原句意思不符合.3．b因为a. to 不对,可以是He went to the theatre;c. into 也不对，可以是He went into the theatre;d。

on 更不符合语法，表示在某一个地方用介词in 或at, in 表示在大的空间，如国家,城市等，at 则表示在小的地点或空间，如atthe office, at the theatre 等, 所以选b.是正确的.4．db。

above(在……上方);c。

ahead of （在……的前面，在……之前）不和behind 对应，也不强调位置的前后顺序。

a. before 和 d. infront of 都是和behind对应的，都有“在……前面”的意思.但in front of 更具体的强调位置，而before则包含更宽泛的意思,即时间上，空间，次序，登记，重要性方面的“在……前面”5．c因为用 a. Where， b. why， d. when 提问都不符合逻辑，都不是针对状态提问的，只有How提问，才能用Angry回答.6．ab。

they 只做主语； c. their只能做定语;d. us 虽然可以做宾语，但与前一句意思不符合.7．da. none是代词，很少用在名词前面；b。

any 只能用在否定句或疑问句中；c。

not any 不符合语法，因为前面没有助动词did。

8。

ba. chair(椅子)， c。

armchair（手扶椅） d. class(班级) 这3个选择都和seat的意思不符合。

Seat 是”座位，座席”的意思. 强调的是可供坐下的地方，不是具体的椅子。
