40、er of 与 a number of 的区别:the number of 强调的是 number 这个词后面谓语要用单数:a number of 表示大量的强调后面所修饰的名词,后面要用复数。2 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题考查情态动词的区别。“Johnny,禁止你玩刀子,你也许会伤到你自己。”第一个空要用语气很强的词 mustnt 表示禁止;第二个空应填“也许可能”语气较弱的词 may。3 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题是一道情景题。“很抱歉我打坏了你的镜子”“一是真的吗?没有关系。”A“Its ok with me”表示“我还好”;B“It doesnt matter”表示“没
41、有关系”;C“Dont be sorry”没有这种说法; D“I dont care”表示“我不在乎”。4 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题考查时间状语词组的意思。“我们时而写信,即使是在没有很多话要说。”A“now and then”表示“时而,有时”,B“by and by”表示“不久”, C“step by step”表示“一步一步地,逐渐地”,D“more or less”表示“或多或少”。5 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题考查动词的固定搭配。“与其乘拥挤的公交车,他一直更喜欢骑自行车。”preferrather than 后面接动词时,在 prefer 后接带 to 的不定式,
42、在 ratherthan 后接动词原形。6 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题考查介词后动词的否定形式。“我必须为没有提前让你知道道歉。”“没有关系”在介词 for 后加动词时要用其 ing 形式,表示否定时,否定词 not 放在动词的前面。7 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题考查冠词及形容词的比较级。“她唱得多么动听啊!我从来没有听到更好的嗓音了。”后面所指的嗓音是与她的相比较,所以要用到比较级better;但这个嗓音又不是特指,所以用不定冠词 a。8 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题考查非谓语动词。“要做蛋糕,你需要 2 个鸡蛋,175 克糖和175 克面粉。”“youll need
43、2 eggs,175gsugar and 175g flour” 本身是一个完整的句子且前面没有连词,所以开头动词只能采用非谓语的形式,排除答案 B;根据跟后面句子的逻辑关系,开头的动词应表示目的,所以只能采用动词的不定式形式。9 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题考查名词性物主代词。“一你的相机像 Bill 的还是 Ann 的。”“一不,它几乎和你的一摸一样。”本题中空格后面没有任何名词,所以要用名词性物主代词 yours 相当于 your camera;her ,their 都是形容词性物主代词,它们后面都需要加名词;them 是 they 的宾格形式更不合题意。10 【正确答案】 D【试

45、是“情况开始改善”。“improve 表示提高,改善”;“lift 表示举起”;“raise 表示举起”; “increase 表示上升,指数量的的增加。”13 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 考查介词。despite=in spite of, 都表示 “尽管”,inspite 后也应加of。14 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 考查名词与介词的固定搭配。在名词 lack 之后只能加介词 of,表示“缺少”。15 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查介词与名词的固定搭配。在清晨 dawn 之前只能用 at,此类词组还有 at noon, at night。16 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查介词
46、与名词的固定搭配。on the whole 为固定词组,表示“总的看来”。17 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 考查同义动词辨析。根据上下文应是“付出了代价”。虽然cost,paid, spend 都有“花费”的意思,但它们用法各异。 cost:意思是“花费(时间,金钱)” 、“价值( 多少)”、“使付出代价”,其主语一般不能是人,不用于被动语态。pay 的主语是人,常用 pay for“表示付款、偿付”; spend 的主语一般为人,用来表示“花金钱时间精力千什么在什么方面等”但后面不用 for。invest 表示“投资”,与题意不符。18 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 考查不定代词辨析。a
47、few 与 a little 都是肯定词组,表示“有一些,有一点”;few 与 little 都是否定词,表示“几乎没有 ”,few 修饰可数名词,little 修饰不可数名词。根据上下文应是“人们没有食物吃”,所以要用否定词;food 是不可数名词,因此要用 little。19 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查介词。根据上下文应是“直到下一个秋季”,before 表示“在之前”的意思,强调时间先后关系;而 until 表示“直到才”的意思,用于否定句时强调主旬动作的起始时间;unless 表示 “除非”,相当于ifnot;during 表示“在期间”。20 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考
