48、意思与上下文不符或者在英语中不存在。 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题是语法中 的时态判断题，关键是要抓住本句话的时间概念。该句中的时间 in summer than in any other time of the year属于一般性的时间，表示每一年的状态，所以应该用一般现在时态。 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本句话的关键是判断英语词性。由于前面有一个系动词 is，只有worth一词才正确。 is worth.意为 costs.。 A和 C两个选择项不符合本句的用法。 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本句的考点在于检验考生是否掌握了 watch someone do/d
49、oing something这个句型。 “看 “和其他的感觉动词都可以用这个句型。应该掌握do/doing在这个句型中的意思区别： do表示看到了动作的整个过程； doing表示看到了动作的一个片断或瞬间。 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 unprofitably与 profitably不符合这个句子的意思。由于空格前面有一个否定词 not，所以后面不能用另一个否定词 unnecessarily，因而只能选 A。全句意思为：孩子们不见得懂他们背的东西，但是他们的思维想法会慢慢地受到影响。 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题重点在于考查单词的用法，属于近义词使用于不同语境的考点。 speech contest意思为 “演讲比赛 “。其他选项都与本句话的意思不符。
