34、 C) impact ( D) contribution 托业(阅读)练习试卷 3答案与解析 一、完成句子 1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 最好记住 remain about the same(几乎保持不变 )这个词组。 remain是 “S+V+P”形式的动词, the same是表语,它们之间的 about是副词。表示 “几乎,大概 ”的意思。其余的选项主要是作为形容词使 用。 2 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 空格内应填入谓语动词 (这里需要单数形式的动词 )。因为后面没有宾语,所以要考虑被动语态。最后,注意到和 ever since的搭配,应选择现在完成时。另外, until n
35、ow(直到现在 )也是使用现在完成时的根据。 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 通过课内学习和课外活动,学生们参与到城市中充满活力的、 “多彩的 ”生活中去。本题具有一定难度,需要理解整个句子的意思才能解题。 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 在 “the most(副词 )_cherished(形容词 )materials(名词 )”这个结构中,空格内应填入修饰 cherished的副词。词义也应仔细分析,因为有时也会出现 “形容词 +形容词 +名词 ”的结构。 5 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题的选项都是意义相近的词语。这时如果知道 make a contribution to这
36、个词组,解题就十分容易了。它表示 “为 做贡献 ”。在记忆英语单词时,如果能把单词放在词组里记忆,实力就能立刻得到提升。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 这里很容易看出应填入形容词 ,但 B、 C、 D选项都可以做形容词 !既有原本就是形容词的,也有起形容词作用的分词,要怎么选择呢 ?虽然都是源自同一单词的形容词,但意义上也有细微的差异。也就是说。这时必须从语感上的差异入手。如果实在不能判断,那么有一个做题技巧,就是选择原本就是形容词的那一个。但这毕竟是应试的权宜之计,还是得把单词的意义都掌握才行。 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 make是使役动词,动词原形 feel做它的宾补,但
37、feel也需要一个形容词做表语。这个表语是修饰宾语 you的。 feel tired表示 “感到疲倦 ”。如果 A选项是 exhausted, C选项是 sleepy则都可以入选。 8 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 首先应该知道 furniture是不可数名词,所以不定冠词 a an不可以用。看到句中的 must be 和 if removed,就能知道 B选项和 D选项应被排除。any既可以搭配单数、复数形式名词,也可以搭配不可数名词。在肯定句中表示“任何 ”。 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 B becoming虽然是动名词,但仍然需要表语,所以应在 A选项和B选项之中选择。两个选项
38、都是形容词。其中 argumentative最合适。在这里意为“好争论的 ”。 arguable意思是 “可论证的 ”。 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 句中有两对 S+V,所以空格内应填入连词。 C选项和 D选项都是引导状语从句的连词。词义上 even if更合适。 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 名词前面如果用代词。就用形容词性的物主代词。如果是用于“S+V+IO+DO”句式的动词,经常在做 IO的名词后面直接再加名词做 DO。 renew是 “更新 ”的意思。 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 所有选项都是连 词。 A选项和 D选项是复合关系副词。当从句是完整句子时使用;
39、 B选项和 C选项是复合关系代词,当从句不是完整句子时使用。句中的 they are是 “S+V”的形式,所以 “无论何地 ”比 “无论何时 ”更合适。 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 如果选 B选项或 C选项,后面必须有表示人的名词做宾语,否则就不能用主动语态。 have还可作为及物动词,表示 “有 ”。所以 D选项可以做它的宾语。 14 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 空格内应填入引导状语从句的连词,所以在 C选项和 D选项中选择词义合适,并且能和后面 的 may搭配的词语。 so thatmay can是 “以便 ”的意思。 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 句中说, “超过期
40、限 ”的书或期刊必须在月底之前归还。 overdue意为 “过期的,迟到的 ”。 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 不能转让会员积分的原因是什么 ?是因为那两家公司是 “独立 ”经营的。所有选项的词义都有相近的地方,要记住它们的用法。 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题具有相当的难度,除了需要把握整个句子的脉络,还必须知道without reservation(毫无保留地 )这个短语。这需要平时通过多做第 7部分的练习,多读英语文章来积累。 18 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本句是虚拟语气。对过去完成的事情的假设。所以 would后面应填入 “have+P.P.”。合适的答案只
41、有 C选项。虚拟语气只要稍加留心,任何人都能答对题目,并不是很难。所以请一定掌握。 19 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 空格在 for的后面,所以应填入名词。 A是动名词,而及物动词access做动名词的时候后面要接宾语,所以接介词 to是不行的。正确答案是名词access。名 词的后面加 to是可以的。 20 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 immediately after是 “ 之后立刻 ”的意思。 immediately还可以替代为 shortly, soon, right等词语。把 after换成 before当然就变成反义词。 21 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 空格后的 pr
42、oved是从句中的谓语动词。空格填入的单词必须同时做连词和 prove的主语。 A选项和 B选项都是 “介词 +名词 ”,不符合条件。因为前面有先行词,所以 what也不行。 22 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选择形容词,要从它和它修饰的名词之间的关系入手。 diversified line意为 “多样化的产品 ”。 23 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 空格内应填入非谓语动词。在 B选项和 C选项之中,考查与被修饰的名词 mobile phone之间的关系。手机是 “被引进 ”的动作对象,所以应使用被动语态。可能有人会误以为 mobile phone和 D选项组成复合名词,但复合名词的使
43、用范围是有限的。 24 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题考查动词的用法。空格后面有宾语,所以排除不及物动 词soar。其余选项就要通过分析词义来选择答案了。类似油价飞涨,这种不好的因素是会 suppress(压抑 )希望的吧 ? 25 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 空格在 “形容词 +名词 ”前面,所以填入副词是最合适的。这样的题目千万不要做错。 26 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 空格后面的 progress是名词,因为句中的 “主语 +动词 ”结构只有一个,所以空格内应填入介词。在 B、 C、 D选项中,应选择词义上最合适的 wittl all。 despite=in spite
44、of=with all=for all,把它们全都可以看成一个介词。 27 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 乍看之下很容易认为空格内应填入名词。但如果填入名词,就和后面的名词 view重复了,所以不能填入名词。空格内应填入修饰 view的形容词。 28 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 compete是不及物动词,很自然地想到后面应接介词,但不要光记住一种用法,而是应该根据句子的不同而分别处理。 compete for是为了得到某物而竞争。本句中说的是 “与任何人竞争 ”,因此选择 against。 29 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 所有选项都是副词,在这里要选择用在否定句里的选项。由于 f
45、ew表达的是否定的含义,在所有选项中,只有 A选项表示 “还没有 ” ,用于否定句。其余选项都用于肯定句。 30 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 看到后面的宾语和 to不定式,就知道这里是一个 “S+V+O+OC”的句式。选项中只有 allow能用在这一句式中。请牢记 “allow+宾语 +to do”这一词组,它表示 “允许某人做某事 ”。 31 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 空格后的 receiving是修饰 women的现在分词 。分词有动词的性质,所以应由副词来修饰。 B、 C、 D选项是副词,从句意上来看最合适的是not。 32 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 句中说到关于保护机密
46、信息的内容。说这份资料的复制和 “再分配 ”都是禁止的。从语法点入手积累英语知识是很重要的,同时多读、多接触此类英语文章的重要性也不亚于此。 33 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 空格后的 information是不可数名词。 A选项与单数可数名词搭配, C、 D选项都与复数可数名词搭配。 more既可以搭配复数可数名词,又可搭配不可数名词。 34 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 空格内应填入形容词,所以 A、 C、 D选项都有可能。相比较的对象是世界上所有其他的国家,所以应使用最高级。在比较两个以上的事物时应使用最高级,比较两个事物时使用比较级。 35 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 注意看
47、前面的 makes。 make主要用于 “S+V+O+OC”句式,所以空格内应填入形容词做宾补。 C选项和 D选项是形容词,同时被修饰的对象 movie是物,所以应该用 -ing的形式。另外,当人是被修饰的对象时,用 -ed的形式。在使用表达感情的动词时,要记住这个要 领。 36 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 空格内应填入连词。所有选项都可以做引导状语从句的连词。表示“只有在 之后 ”的 only after是常用的短语,在这里最符合句意。 37 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 前面的 understand是及物动词,空格后是名词性从句。所有的选项都可以引导名词性从句,但除了 B选项之外,其
48、他的都是在完整句子中使用的。 communicate做及物动词使用时,后面应接宾语,所以本句中的名词性从句是不完整的。 38 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 空 格前面的 jump是解题的关键提示。表示增加或减少的单词可以作为可数名词处理,后面常接 in,表示 “在某方面的 ”增加或减少。 39 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 be动词后面的形容词修饰主语。 rebate意为 “(作为减免或折扣的 )部分退款 ”。 40 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 barely的意思是 “仅仅,勉强 ”。在与本句类似的结构中表示“在 之前只剩 ” 。 二、短文填空 41 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本
49、题需要和前面一句连起来理解。作为实施心理测试的教授,他需要表 明这是为了教育的 “目的 ”。 42 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 “花多少时间 ”这一短语应用 “take+时间 ”来表现。同时也请记住它的变化形式 “it takes+时间钱 +(for+宾语 )+to do”(某人做某事需要花 时间钱 )。 43 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题考查复合名词的用法。这里应填入的词语意为 “同意书 ”。这也需要理解句子整体的意思才能解题。近来,第 6部分的出题倾向是:需要把握句子整体意思的题目,比只看空格前后便可解题的题目要多。因此,提高解读速度是终极策略。 44 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 句中意思是,
