25、tain常指经过长时间的尝试后才成功达到目的,本句中给出了After working for the firm for ten years,这符合attain的使用语境,故C为答案。而achieve强调通过努力而达到目的;acquire是指“得到,获得”;approach意为“靠近,接近”。13.The young employee has a (n) _ qualityhe is totally honest.(2009年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.respectableB.admirableC.decentD.approachable解析:解析:decent在口语中,意为“相当好的”,
26、可用于指人的德行好,这与honest属于同一语境,符合语境,故C为答案。respectable意为“值得尊敬的”,admirable意为“令人赞赏的,令人钦佩的”,虽然respectable和admirable都是褒义词,但均带有仰视的含义,而本题提及的是一个young employee,两个词的语体色彩不符合语境;approachable意为“平易近人的,随和的”,这里approachable与honest无关,排除。14.We all know that Mary has had a strict_.

28、tools of his trade言语是他那一行必不可少的工具。也可以指实物,例如:carpenters tool(木匠工具)。instrument既可指专业人员,如医生和牙医,使用的要求极高精度的仪器,如听诊器或超声波钻等,还可以指用来达到某个结果的东西和人,是抽象的手段、方式等。句意是把戏剧作为教学手段,而非具体的工具,故选择instrument。design意为“设计”;agency意为“代理”,与语境无关。16.The moon, being much nearer to the Earth than the Sun, is the _ cause of the tides. (20
29、08年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.principalB.basicC.initialD.elementary解析:解析:principal意为“主要的”,例如:My wages are the principal souse of my income薪金是我收入的主要来源。正是月亮的运转引起涨潮和退潮,故A符合句意。basic意为“基础的”;initial意为“最初的”;elementary意为“基本的”,这三个词都没有体现出潮汐出现的主因是月亮运转这层含义,不符合常识,排除。17.Bus services between Town Centre and Newton Housing Es

31、007年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.spaceB.expanseC.stretchD.land解析:解析:expanse意为“广阔的,宽阔的”,句中gazing out over含有“对感到惊讶、感叹而凝视”的意思,这里limitless(无垠的)也就是形容沙漠的宽广,所以应该用expanse。而stretch是指“延伸的,延展的”,通常指狭而长的区域。19.Mary sat at the table, looked at the plate and_her lips. (2007年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.smackedB.openedC.partedD.separated解析:解
32、析:smack意为“咂嘴”,这里smack ones lips是“(馋得)咂嘴,垂涎三尺”之意。open lips和part ones lips都有“张开嘴”之意,这里不符合语句逻辑关系。separate有“分开”之意,但不与lip搭配使用。20.Thousands of_at the stadium came to their feet to pay tribute to an outstanding performance. (2007年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.audienceB.participantsC.spectatorsD.observers解析:解析:spectator指
33、“(到现场观看比赛的)观众”,例如:They won 40 in front of over 40,000 cheering spectators在超过4万名观众的欢呼鼓励下,他们终于以4比0取得胜利。而audience泛指“听众,观众”,从句中的at the stadium可以看出,这里是指“现场观众”,故C正确。21.According to the new tax law, any money earned over that level is taxed at the _of 59 percent.

34、oportionD.rate解析:解析:ratio意为“比,比例,利率”,例如:The ratio of schoolboys to schoolgirls is 2 to 1男女学生比例是2比1。percentage意为“百分率,通常不受数字修饰,单独使用”;proportion意为“部分,比例(通常指同一个整体中两个不同部分所占的比例)”;rate意为“比例”,通常指定数量、价格与其他固定数量、价格之比。22.The medical experts warned the authorities of the danger of diseases in the _of the earthqu
35、ake. (2007年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.consequenceB.aftermathC.resultsD.effect解析:解析:aftermath有“灾后时期,余波”之意,例如:the rebuilding which took place in the aftermath of the war意思是“在战后余殃中的重建”。此处是指地震之后可能出现的疾病问题,符合语句逻辑关系。in consequence of与as a result of意思相同,都有“由于,因为的缘故”之意,表示产生的结果,但consequence前没有the。affect意为“影响”,与句子语境不吻合,排
36、除。23.After the heavy rain, a builder was called to repair the roof, which was _. (2006年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.leakingB.tricklingC.drippingD.floating解析:解析:leaking意为“漏出,侧重液体或气体等从容器漏出,或泄漏了消息”,根据句意,A为答案。trickling意为“滴流,侧重以点滴形式下落”;dripping同样侧重以点滴形式下落;floating意为“浮动的,漂浮的”。24.This is not the right_to ask for my hel

38、tB.conspicuousC.prominentD.noticeable解析:解析:prominent意为“杰出的,卓越的”,强调其显赫的地位或重要性,C符合句意。excellent意为“极好的,指质量高”;conspicuous通常指因成绩卓著,而引人注意,或指因外观奇特、花哨或言行举止不合常规而令人注意;noticeable意为“所描绘的事物引人注意”。26.The economic recession has meant job_that is a rare thing. (2006年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.securityB.safetyC.protectionD.secur
39、eness解析:解析:security意为“安全,免遭受危险或伤害”;safety意为“安全,保险”,强调在特定情况下某些因素不会引发负面效果;protection意为“保护,防卫”;D是错误拼写。故选A,job security意为“工作安稳”。27.The priest made the _ of the cross when he entered the church.(2005年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.markB.signalC.signD.gesture解析:解析:mark表示“标志,记号”;signal表示“信号”;sign表示“手势”;gesture表示“手势,姿势”。s
40、ign作“手势”讲时,传达一种思想、欲望、消息或命令等;gesture作“手势”讲时,更趋向于身体或四肢的动作,以表达或帮助表达想法或强调所说的话。在本句中使用sign更合适。28.This spacious room is _ furnished with just a few articles in it.(2005年考试真题)(分数:2.00)A.lightlyB.sparselyC.hardlyD.rarely解析:解析:lightly表示“轻轻地,轻松地”;sparsely表示“稀疏地,稀少地”;hardly表示“几乎不”,是程度副词,用来修饰动词;rarely“罕见地,稀有地”。只
