For each sent
46、ence 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】 B 选项的 distinguish 意思为“区分”，全句的意思为“你应该有能力区分好坏”。其他选项单词意思不符合上下文。 2 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 注意本题的引导词 which 既做时间从句的引导词，也是从句的
47、宾语。A 选项 when 只是引导词但起不了作宾语的作用。由于从句的谓语动词为及物动词spent，后面需要直接跟时间 ten years 搭配，所以不能使用介词 during 和 in，所以 B 和 D 选项错误。 3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 look into 为固定搭配词组，意思为“调查”，全句意思为“我答应一到那里就调查此事”。其他选项搭配的意思不符合语境。 4 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题的正确表达法为 so diligent a student 或 such a diligent student。注意 so 一般修饰形容词，而 such 一般修饰名词。也要注意这两种表达法
48、的词序。C 和 D 选项使用了额外的副词所以错误。 5 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 make an appointment 属于固定搭配表达法，意思为“约会，预约”。全句意思为“你的姐姐给你约了今天下午 3 点去看牙”。interview 意思为“采访，面试”；opportunity 意思为 “机会，机遇”；assignment 意思为“作业”。 6 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 sometime 是一个词，中间不能分开，意思为 “(今后)某一天”；sometimes 也是一个词，中间不能分开，意思为“有时”。 7 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 注意动词与名词的搭配：reach a deci
49、sion 或者 arrive at a decision都对，意思为“做出决定”。B 选项缺少介词 at；其他选项搭配不正确。 8 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 注意：英语中的将来时间句(例如 until，when，as soon as)应采用一般现在时态，所以应选择 A。 9 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 fold 意思为“折起”；bend 意思为“弯起”；turn 意思为“翻转”；curve 意思为“弯曲”。全句意思为 “信写完了，他仔细地将信折起放进了信封，封好以后还亲了信封一口”。 10 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 注意 would rather someone did something 是虚拟语气的一个重要考点，应该熟记。其他时态不能在这个句型中使用。 二、Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part ther
