17、条长”。此外，rectangular也表示“长方形的，矩形的”。square指“正方形的，方形的”；oval则指“椭圆形的”，circular意为“圆形的”。另外，triangular表示“三角形的”。3.Id like to have a_word with his parents.(2012-80)（分数：2.00）A.peacefulB.quietC.silentD.personal解析：解析：quiet作定语用，表示“(行为等)暗中的，秘密的，未表露的”。句意为“我想和他的父母私下谈几句”，如：He may have some domestic problems；Ill have a

The underlined part means_.(2013-80)（分数：2.00）A.brightlyB.light-heartedlyC.cheerfullyD.lightly解析：解析：首先把gaily变成形容词gay，很多考生第一感觉是
24、“同性恋的”，但此处显然不对。其实gay还可表示“欢乐的，愉快的”，即happy，cheerful，light-hearted，但此处同样不合适。那只剩选项A和D了。brightly指“(颜色)鲜亮地，明亮地”，lightly则表示“轻轻地，轻微地，心情愉快地”，显然只有A最为恰当。句意为“这对夫妻告诉装修人员，他们希望卧室油漆颜色涂得鲜艳点。”10.Our school library is_closed for repairs.(2011 -68)（分数：2.00）A.shortlyB.quicklyC.rapidlyD.temporarily解析：解析：temporarily表示“暂时地

27、地，宽容地”。efficiently意为“有效率地，有效地”；surprisingly则指“令人惊讶的是，出乎意料地”；shortly表示“不久，立刻”。12.The girls voice was so low that we could_hear her.(2011-79)（分数：2.00）A.barelyB.onlyC.almostD.seldom解析：解析：barely表示“仅仅，勉强，几乎不”，通常用于“肯定句”，和“hardly”，“scarcely”意思相近。句意为“女孩的声音特别低，我们几乎听不见”。强调女孩的声音低得让人无法听清楚，如：I was barely able to

34、 defeat is hanging over them他们笼罩在失败的阴影之中。19.He listened hard but still couldnt_what they were talking about.(2010-78)（分数：2.00）A.make overB.make upC.make uponD.make out解析：解析：make out指“(勉勉强强)看听认出来”，句意为“他努力地听，但是仍然听不出他们谈话的内容。”如：Can you make out what that sign says?你看得见牌子上写的是什么吗?20.His mother retired ear
