44、t. For each sentence 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】 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。”2 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 经过多年艰苦斗争之后，美国妇女于 1
45、920 年得到了一直被剥夺的选举权。ignore vt. 不顾，忽视：neglect vt.忽视，疏忽，漏做；refuse vt.拒绝，谢绝；deny v.否认，拒绝。根据句意可排除 A、B；refuse 常用的结构是：refuse to do sth.，不符合本题；deny 后面常接双宾语。四个选项中只有 D 正确。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 此题考查的是形容词的固定搭配。关系代词前是介词、用什么介词应由从句中的有关词语搭配来决定。该从句中与形容词 comparable 搭配的介词是to。因为 be comparable to 表示“与可以比拟了“。4 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 u
46、nique 意为 “独一无二的，惟一的“；average 意为“ 平均的，一般的“；collective 意为“集体的，共同的“single 意为“单个的“。5 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 take time to do sth.意为“花费时间去做某事“。spend 意为“花费，支出“，一般跟 in；consume 意为“消费“；need 意为“需要“ 。6 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题选 what 既引导宾语从句，又可充当从句里 saying 的宾语，其他词不具备这样的特点。7 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 此句空白处需填入一个从属连词，而且从句是表示地点的状语从句。8 【正确答案】
47、 D【试题解析】 四个选项分别意为：originally“最初地，原始地，有独创性地”；extremely“极度地，非常地”；violently“剧烈地”；intensively“深入地，加强地”。 9 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题的语法考点是虚拟语气。应注意虚拟语气的条件句和主句的时态对应结构。此句的条件句时态是过去完成时态(had listened)，主句应该用助动词过去式+完成式结构(might have arrived)，表示与过去的事实相反的虚拟语气。 10 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 固定搭配“beyond sb. ”，意为“为某人不能理解 ”。故正确答案为B。二、Part
