完成句子
1. The foreign delegates are expected to arrive at the hotel______noon on
Friday at the latest.
A.by
B.above
C.within
D.of
正确答案:A
解析:根据上下文语义,此处意为“预计中午之前到达酒店”,因此与时间标志词noon一起使用并表示时间点的介词(A)by(在……之前)为正确答案。(C)within(在……之内)表示时间段,(B)above(在……之上)是表示位置的介词,(D)of(……的)是表示所属或同级关系的介词。作为参考,应将be expected to(预计会……)作为惯用语进行记忆。
2. Dr. Clark notified______patients that he would be out of town this week to
attend a medical convention.
A.its
B.his
C.him
D.they
正确答案:B
解析:根据上下文语义,此处意为“克拉克医生告知他的患者”,所以空格中应填写的代词指代的对象为克拉克医生。因此用于指代Dr.Clark,接在名词patients前,用法类似形容词的形容词性物主代词(B)his为正确答案。指代事物的代词(A),人称代词宾格(C),人称代词主格(D)都不是正确答案。作为参考,“notify+人+that从句”和“notify+人+of”结构都意为“告知某人……”,可一同记忆。
3. Mr. Barnett reserved his flight to Hanoi directly with the airline company
because it was______than booking with a travel agent.
A.simply
B.simpler
C.simplest
D.simplicity
正确答案:B
解析:在be动词was后充当补语,与空格后面的than一起构成比较级表达的形容词比较级(B)simpler为正确答案。副词(A)不能充当补语,最高级(C)不能与than连用,名词(D)如要构成比较级表达,需遵循“more/fewer/less+名词+than(比……多的/少的)”的固定搭配,故(D)也不正确。
4. Service staff at the fast food restaurant are trained extensively to
prepare______dine-in and take-out orders.
A.between
B.from
C.both
D.neither
正确答案:C
解析:与and(和)一起构成固定搭配“both A and B(A和B都)”的(C)both(两者都)为正确答案。作为参考,应记忆“both A and B”结构,此处该结构连接了dine-in和take—out。如选择介词(A)between(在……之间),则意为“以便为在堂食和外卖订单之间准备”,句意不通顺;如选择介词(B)from(从……),则意为“以便从堂食和外卖订单开始准备”,句意也不通顺,所以均不正确;(D)neither与nor一起构成固定搭配“neither A nor B(A和B都不)”的结构。
5. According to his professor at Becker University, Arlen Thornton has earned
adequate______to pursue a career in industrial engineering.
A.quality
B.qualifications
C.qualifying
D.qualified
正确答案:B
解析:既可充当及物动词earned的宾语,又能被形容词adequate修饰的应为名词,故名词(A)和(B)为备选答案。根据上下文语义,此处意为“获得了充分的资格来追求工业工程学领域的职业”,因此(B)qualifications(资格)为正确答案。如果选择(A)quality(质量,品质),则句意变为“获得充分的质量”,不通顺;分词(C)和(D)不能放在名词所在的位置,即使将(C)看作动名词,动名词也不能被形容词adequate修饰,因此不正确。
6. The consumer survey conducted in the Eastern European region revealed
a______ decline in the residents’ preference for online shopping.
A.notes
B.notably
C.noting
D.notable
正确答案:D
解析:位于不定冠词a和名词decline之间并用来修饰decline的应是形容词。
因此此处可充当形容词的分词(C)和形容词(D)为备选答案。根据上下文语义,此处意为“居民对网购的偏好度的显著下降”,故形容词(D)notable(显著的)为正确答案。如选择分词(C)noting,则句意变为“居民偏好度的注意的下降”,句意不通顺。动词或名词(A)与副词(B)都不能用在此处修饰名词。
7. Museum guests are not allowed to touch the sculptures on display,______are
they permitted to take pictures of the art pieces.
A.nor
B.so
C.until
D.during
正确答案:A
解析:空格后面的are they permitted…pieces部分中采用了主谓倒装,故句子前可引导倒装结构的否定词(A)nor为正确答案。(B)so虽然可引导倒装结构,但只能在表示“……也是如此”的肯定句中使用,故不正确。(C)until意为“到……为止”,(D)during意为“在……期间”,二者都不能引导倒装结构。
8. Once all the applications are received, Wei Foundation’s scholarship
committee______ only 40 individuals to send to China for a year of study.
A.to select
B.will select
C.have selected
D.were selecting
正确答案:B
解析:主句中缺少谓语动词,故(B)、(C)、(D)都可为备选答案。当主句为将来时时,时间或条件从句中应用现在时而非将来时表示将来。本句中,从句“Once…received”使用了一般现在时,意为“一旦申请书被接收”,表示将来发生的事,主句中则应当使用将来时态。因此将来时(B)will select为正确答案。(C)为现在完成时,(D)为过去进行时,时态上都不正确。不定式结构(A)不能充当谓语。
9. Candidates who receive notifications to attend a second interview
must______their intentions to proceed with the application process.
A.confirmed
B.confirm
C.confirmation
D.confirming
正确答案:B
解析:情态动词must后面应接动词原形,因此(B)confirm为正确答案。过去分词或动词过去式(A),名词(C),现在分词或动名词(D)都不能接在情态动词后面。
10. The workplace safety regulations______ helped to prevent serious accidents
from occurring at the construction site.
A.define
B.definitely
C.definite
D.definitions
正确答案:B
解析:为修饰动词helped,空格处应填副词,故副词(B)definitely(明确地)为正确答案。动词(A),形容词(C)和名词(D)在此处都不能修饰动词。
11. The plumber conducted a thorough______ of how much it would probably
cost to replace the old water pipes in Ms. Kent’s apartment.
A.inspection
B.inspects
C.inspect
D.inspecting
正确答案:A
解析:空格处所填单词作及物动词conducted的宾语,应选择可与不定冠词a连用,同时可以被形容词thorough修饰的名词。故(A)inspection(调查)为正确答案。动名词(D)inspecting不能和不定冠词a连用,且只能被副词修饰而不能被形容词修饰。动词(B)和(C)都不能放在名词的位置上。
12. ______to providing reliable electrical services to households and
commercial establishments in Denver, Voltworks hires only highly skilled
electricians.
A.Consisted
B.Regarded
C.Reconstructed
D.Committed
正确答案:D
解析:根据上下文语义,此处意为“致力于提供供电服务”,故动词commit(献身)的过去分词形式(D)Committed为正确答案。(A)Consisted意为“由……组成”,(B)Regarded意为“把……看作”,(C)Reconstructed意为“重建,改造”。作为参考,本句中“Committed…Denver”前的being省略了。
13. The new admissions standards that were implemented last year by Columna
University made it______than before for graduating high school students to apply to
the institution.
A.easily
B.easy
