For each sentenc

47、e there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.1 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题为倒装句型语法考点。only 一词放在句首起强调作用，其主句助动词与主语应颠倒位置。2 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 逗号前面为时间状语。此处只能用介词短语习惯表达法。A 和 C 选项缺少时间连词 When； D 选项用

48、法错误。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 非谓语动词考点，动词 avoid 后面与动名词搭配。4 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 定语从句引导词考点。关键要明确前面修饰的名词是何性质。此处的 city 一词属于地点，应该用 where 引导。5 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题为虚拟语气考点。本句是与现在事实相反的假设，条件句与主句相对应，属于 if it were，sth would be句型结构。6 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题属于近义词区别。从上下文线索判断，D 选项最为符合语境要求。全句意思为“她太紧张，在如此场合不能自然应对局面。”7 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题有两个方

49、面的考虑因素：一是明确正确意思，二要选择正确搭配。只有 A 选项符合这两种要求。make an appointment 意思为“约会”。8 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 A 选项意思为“独自”；B 选项意思为 “亲自”；C 选项意思为“私下”；D 选项意思为“作为个人”。只有 C 选项与后半句的 in public(在公开场合)在意思上相对应，所以 C 为正确答案。9 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题属于固定搭配词组的正确用法。A 选项意思为“(身体)垮掉了”，最符合上下文的意思。其他选项意思不适合语境要求。10 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题属于多义词考点。A 选项的动词 book 在此处的意思为“预订，购买”。全句意思为“这场比赛很重要。还是要提前早点买票为好。”二、Pa
