2009年大學(xué)英語四級考試詞匯活記活用(22)

　　17和18.語境題,詞匯搭配題.分析該句話So __17__ of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are __18__ a positive approach.17題所考查的是表示兩個分句之間邏輯關(guān)系的連接詞.由前一句中的reduce the damage和后一句中的positive approach,可知兩者的意思是相反的,所以應(yīng)該選擇instead of,其意思為代替.18題主要考察詞匯的搭配.分析后半句,主語為we,賓語為approach,approach作名詞時的意思為方法,途經(jīng).根據(jù)含義表達的習(xí)慣,應(yīng)該選擇含有采納,采用意思的adopt.

　　19.語境題.分析本句話We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a __19__ effect on the world.根據(jù)我講過的標(biāo)志詞法,注意到句中的and,所以and前后的兩個分句的意思是相近的.前半個句子的意思是我們正在給人們高質(zhì)量,健康的商品.分析and后面的半個句子,在句中含有一個定語從句that have a __19__ effect,先行詞為choices,換句話說這個定語從句是修飾choices的.所以空格19所填入的形容詞所表達的意思應(yīng)該是和前半個句子是相近的,考察四個選項,應(yīng)該選擇含有有益的意思的beneficial.

　　20.詞匯搭配題.首先考察四個選項,full, total和complete都是用來修飾數(shù)量多的，而entireentire 是指一樣?xùn)|西的全部，也就是說整體.注意到本文的最后一句Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.說明并不是全部城市都采取了這個方法.所以應(yīng)該選擇entire表示整個城市.
