答 案
1.【答案】D A项意为“害羞并小心”;B项意为“敏感的并有思想”;C项意为“诚实并自信”;D项意为“快乐又乐观的”,符合句意“她快乐又乐观,她是那种通过自己的微笑传播阳光的人。”
2.【答案】B A项意为“普遍的,全面的”;B项意为“时常发生的”;C项意为“正常的”;D项意为“特别的,特殊的”。句意为“酒后驾车,是过去经常发生的事,但现在已经得到控制。”应选B项。
3.【答案】B 根据词义可以快速排除C和D。C表示 “独特的”,D表示“不同的”,只有A和B比较接近。private表示“私人的,私下的”,personal表示“个人的”,personal view表示“个人观点”。
4.【答案】D “worthwhile”表示“值得的,有价值的”,句意为“犯错误是值得的。”A表示“喜爱的,赞同的”,B表示“珍贵的”,C表示“本质的”,只要知道词义,并联系生活常识,得出答案为D。
5.【答案】B 根据词义可得出答案。physical表示“身体的”;sensitive表示“敏感的”;sudden表示“突然的”;只有immediate表示“立刻,马上”,等同于“at once”。故选B。
6.【答案】B make +life+形容词,而且后面的词为比较级,所以说两个空同为形容词,同为比较级。
7.【答案】B 考查another,the other,other,other’s的形容词用法区别。one...the other...用于一个整体的两部分意为“一个……另一个”,题干中将假期分成两部分,一部分用来学英语,一部分用来画画,符合题意。
8.【答案】C 句意为“在外工作的母亲们应该有灵活的时间以便照看孩子们。”表示“灵活的”用flexible。heavy表示“沉重的”;smooth表示“光滑的,滑顺的”;complex表示“复杂的,难懂的”。
9.【答案】A 所填词作表语,主语是人,由more来修饰,意思是“可能”,选A。四个选项中possible和probable也都有“可能的”之意,但它们作表语时主语只能是物,sure在此处意思不恰当。
10.【答案】C 考查复合形容词:数词+连字符+名词的用法。连字符连接的词作名词定语且用单数。a three-hour journey意为“三小时的路程”。
11.【答案】C the number of意为“……的数量”,其后的形容词应为大小,不用多少。又根据句意“学校被移出了市中心”,应该是学生的数量变得太大了,故选C。
12.【答案】A 句意为“人们一直对于地球生命的起源感到好奇。”根据介词about后面宾语从句的意义,可以确定前面表示的是好奇,be curious about是“对……感到好奇的”意思。
13.【答案】A 分析四个选项的意思:accurate意为“精确的”;ridiculous意为“可笑,滑稽的”;urgent意为“紧急的”;shallow意为“浅的,肤浅的”。句意为“我确信印刷媒体常常会比电视更准确、更可靠。”
14.【答案】A 根据句意前半句可知,史蒂文先生工作棒极了,后面意味着再也找不到更好的老板了,用否定副词与比较级连用表达最高级。
15.【答案】C 考查so和such。难点在于他们后面如果是不可数名词怎么办。 such +形容词+不可数名词与so +形容词+不可数名词,两种结构完全一样,如何区分?其实,区别很简单,就看形容词是什么。如果该结构中的形容词是表示数量多少的many,much,few,little,则用so;但是,当little翻译成“小”的时候,用such,如such little children这么小的孩子。so little money这么少的钱。
16.【答案】D shaky意为“颤抖的”;heavy意为“沉重的”;casual意为“漠不关心的,冷淡的”;steady意为“稳定的”。句意为“这位年长的工程师,古铜色的脸上布满皱纹,但目光炯炯。当他走过房间时,步子虽慢但是沉稳。”
17.【答案】C 根据句意“不幸的童年可能会对给一个人的性格产生消极的影响;然而,这种影响不总是长久的。”选择permanent表示“持久的,长久的”。 beneficial表示“有利的,有益的”;practical表示“实际的,实践的”;avoidable表示“可以避免的”。
18.【答案】A transparent表示“透明的”;secure表示“安全的”;formal表示“正式的”;reasonable表示“合理的”。句意为“人们要求这家国有公司的账目尽可能地透明,以便公司的员工对金钱的使用加以监督。”
19.【答案】A 程度副词可修饰形容词比较级,放于比较级前。根据应答者用“Why?”进行的反问,选A。句意为“—我得说,这部电影一点都不令人感兴趣。—什么?这可比我看过的电影有趣得多了。”
20.【答案】D be particular about意为“对……挑剔”,是固定搭配。选D。句意为“她已经尽了最大的努力。请不要对她的工作太挑剔了。”
21.【答案】C special意为“特别的,特意的”;regional意为“地区的,地方的”;optional意为“可选择的”;original意为“原始的,最初的”。句中由but进行转折,由此可知法语和俄语不是必修课而是可以选修,所以正确答案为C。句意为“在那所学校,英语是学生的必修课,而法语和俄语是选修课。”
22.【答案】B 根据后半句提供的信息选择答案。cold意为“冷的,冷酷的”;blank意为“空白的,茫然的”;innocent意为“无罪的,清白的,无害的,天真的,单纯的”;fresh意为“新鲜的”。句意为“教授能够从玛丽亚眼里的茫然表情中看出她对于他的演讲一点都不懂。”表示“茫然的”用blank。
23.【答案】A schedule是“时间表”的意思,but转折后的句意是“但我会试着找时间给你(做某事)”,因此转折前肯定是时间表本身很满或者很紧张,表示“日程紧”用tight,所以A项正确。句意为“我的日程很紧,但是我会尽力安排时间见你。”
24.【答案】A sharp意为“明显的,急剧的”;slight意为“轻微的,稍稍的”;natural意为“自然的,天生的”;modest意为“谦虚的,不过分的”。因此选A。句意为“现在的孩子们在创造力上有很大的提高,因为他们被极力地鼓励着去发展他们的天赋。”
25.【答案】D 句意为“你能区分‘require’和‘request’的细微差别吗?”D项意为“细微的”,符合句意。A项意为“戏剧性的”,B项意为“地域性的”,C项意为“显然的”,都与句意不符。
26.【答案】C 句意为“这些建筑是否要推倒是有争议的,人们仍然在寻找其他可能的解决方法。”C项意为“有争议的”,符合句意;A项意为“不改变的”,B项意为“相关的”,D项意为“矛盾的”,都与语意不符。
27.【答案】A A项be vital to表示“对……极为重要”;B项something be available to somebody表示“某人可以得到某物”;C项specific不能与to搭配;D选项similar to表示“与……相似”。
28.【答案】A 根据前半句“我刚刚还给图书馆”和下半句中的still可知这本书或许还可得到,所以用available,而其他三项affordable意为“支付得起的”;acceptable意为“可接受的”;valuable意为“贵重的”均与题意不符。
29.【答案】A 句意为“研究缺乏实证(solid evidence),因此所得出的结论还有待考证。”fierce意为“激烈的”;severe意为“严重的”;potential意为“有潜力的”,均不符合语境,故排除。
30.【答案】A 考查对形容词词汇意义的理解和运用。句意为“要讲道理,你不能指望我一个人在很短的时间内干所有的工作。”其他选项中,confident意为“有信心的”;creative意为“有创造力的”;grateful意为“感激的”,都不符合句意。
