答案及解析
1.A題意:作家專心于寫作, 沒(méi)有注意到他進(jìn)入房間。本題為詞義辨析題。A.absorb吸收, 正確選項(xiàng);常用句型為be absorbed in sth專心于……;B.abandon放棄 ;C.focus 常用句型為focus …on …,例如:focus one’s attention / thoughts on a matter 集中注意力 / 思想于某事;D.center集中,例如:center on a point / person/ thing集中于某一點(diǎn)、某人、某事; center round a spot以某地為中心。
2.D題意:這家公司想方設(shè)法降低產(chǎn)品的批發(fā)價(jià)格。本題考查要點(diǎn)是與down連用的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)A.pull down拆除(房子),拉下;B.put down放下, 縮減;C.set down卸下,記下,制定(規(guī)則);D.bring down降低(物價(jià)), 為正確選項(xiàng)。
3.A題意:對(duì)職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員而言,參加奧運(yùn)會(huì)就意味著有機(jī)會(huì)被載入史冊(cè)。 這是一道名詞形近詞辨析題。A.access進(jìn)入, 可與to連用, 表示進(jìn)入某地, 接近某人;B.attachment附屬物, 情感;可與to連用,意思與題意不符;C.appeal吸引力, 懇求。做名詞時(shí)常與for連用, appeal作為動(dòng)詞用時(shí)可與to連用;D.approach方法, 途徑,接近, 通路,可與to連用。后三個(gè)選項(xiàng)雖可與to連用, 但與題意不符合。
4.B題意:眾所周知,獅子和老虎是貓科動(dòng)物。動(dòng)詞詞義辨析本題的關(guān)鍵是要看懂空格前的“the cat family”是貓科的意思,根據(jù)常識(shí),獅、虎都是貓科動(dòng)物,故空格處應(yīng)是“包括”的意思,即是B.。也就沒(méi)有必要考慮其它的選項(xiàng)了,它們分別是:A.使……豐富;C.收養(yǎng);D.為……提供住處。
5.B題意:這么多孩子喜歡吃這種新牌子的餅干是因?yàn)樗浅L、非常脆。綜合辨析 根據(jù)題意,是說(shuō)這種餅干又甜又脆,B.“脆的”,最為合適。A.與B.是形近詞,二者意思上相差巨大,A.是"輕快的、活潑的"之意,無(wú)法修飾餅干;D.與B.是近義詞辨析,但fragile強(qiáng)調(diào)的是"易碎的",如The thin glass is fragile。此外,fragile還有"虛弱的"意思,與C.相近,這可能是為什么把C.作為干擾項(xiàng)的原因。
6.A題意:安全的問(wèn)題必須放在首位。place … at the top of the agenda可算是一個(gè)常用的說(shuō)法,意思是“將……賦予最大的重要性”。
7.B題意:為了使隊(duì)伍移動(dòng)起來(lái),一些需要做大量交易的顧客被要求到銀行內(nèi)完成。這是一道關(guān)于名詞的辨析題。A.transit 經(jīng)過(guò),搬運(yùn),運(yùn)輸;C.turnover 營(yíng)業(yè)額,翻轉(zhuǎn);D.tempo (音樂(lè)的)速度、拍子,發(fā)展速度。三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。B.transaction 交易,事物。
8.A題意:路邊的標(biāo)志是為了提醒司機(jī)馬上會(huì)有一個(gè)急轉(zhuǎn)彎。這是一道關(guān)于動(dòng)詞的辨析題。B.refresh 使精神振作,恢復(fù);C.plead 辯護(hù),懇求;D.divert 轉(zhuǎn)移,轉(zhuǎn)向。三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。A.alert 警惕,警告。
9.B題意:史密斯教授和布朗教授輪流做關(guān)于美國(guó)文化系列講座的演講。這是一道關(guān)于意義相近的動(dòng)詞的辨析題。A.alter 改變;C.substitute 代替,替換;D.exchange 交換,交流。三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。B.alternate 交替,輪流。
10.D題意:醫(yī)生覺(jué)得這位病人將不久于人世。這是一道關(guān)于動(dòng)詞的辨析題。A.monitor 監(jiān)控;B.manifest 表明,顯示;C.articulate 清晰明白的說(shuō)。三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。D.anticipate 預(yù)期,預(yù)見(jiàn)。
11.B題意:本段第一句話含糊不清,可以被解釋為多種意思。ambiguous.a.含糊不清的,模棱兩可的。intricate.a.錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的,難解的;duplicate.a.復(fù)制的,完全一樣的;confused.a.糊涂的,迷亂的,不清楚的。
12.C題意:這種鞋容易在濕地面上打滑。近義形容詞辨義。apt“易于,有(做某事的)傾向”,符合題意。feasible“可行的,可能的,可用的”;appropriate“適當(dāng)?shù)模‘?dāng)?shù),適宜的;fitting“適合的,恰當(dāng)?shù)摹薄?/P>
13.C題意:算命者善于說(shuō)些像“你的痛苦將要改變”之類的含糊其辭的話。形容詞辨義。A.philosophical 哲學(xué)的;B.invalid 無(wú)效的,作廢的;C.ambiguous 含糊其辭的;D.literal 按照字義的,逐字的。根據(jù)題意,C項(xiàng)正確。
14.C題意:盡管殖民者在一定程度上和美國(guó)當(dāng)?shù)氐耐林用裼兴诤,但是印第安人?duì)美國(guó)文化和語(yǔ)言的影響并不大。近義動(dòng)詞辨義。A. migrate意為:(1)“移動(dòng);(短期)移居”,(2)(鳥(niǎo)或魚的)遷徙;B. match意為:(1)相等,(發(fā)現(xiàn)找到)相等物;(2) 相似,相配;C. mingle意為“混合,混入”,與with或together連用;D. melt意為“使……溶化”!
