中11.Please keep an eye on my luggage, and I'll be back _____.
A.in time
B.in no time
C.at one time
D.at a time
答案:B. 本题考查介词短语辨析。in no time“立刻,马上”,可以和过去时、将来时搭配:in time“及时”;at one time“曾经”,用在过去时中;at a time“一次”,表频率。
12.Lying in hospital, the patient _____ the outside world by watching news programs on TV every day.
A.kept in touch with
B.faced up
C.turned the clock back
D.slowed down
答案:A.本题考查动词短语辨析。keep in touch with“与……保持联系”:face up往往和to搭配,表示“勇敢面对”;turn the clock back“把时间调回…”;slow down“慢下来”。
13.We felt very sad when we heard the news that the _____ manager was killed in his office yesterday.
A. respectful
B. respectable
C. respective
D. respecting
答案:B.本题考查同根词辨析。四个词的词根都是respeet,但各有各的含义。respectable“可敬的,值得别人尊敬或尊重的”;respectful“尊重别人的;表示敬意的”;respective“分别的,各自的”;respecting(prep.),“关系,说到”。根据句意,应选respectable.
14. _____ the fog, we should have reached our destination.
A.Because of
B.In spite of
C.In case of
D.But for
答案:D.本题考查虚拟语气的用法。but for+名词/代词,“要不是因为…”,提出与事实相反的假设,相当于一个条件状语从句,所在句子常用虚拟语气。其他的结构都不用虚拟语气。从主句"we should have reached our destination"可判断;该句使用了虚拟语气,所以选D.
15.The children will have to _____ their play-time hours when school opens.
A.cut in
B.cut up
C.cut on
D.cut down
答案:D.本题考查动词短语辨析。cut down“砍倒,削减,减少”;cut in“打断”;cut up“切碎”。
16. This is what you should bear in mind: Don't _____ a salary increase before you actually get it.
A. hang on
B. draw on
C. wait on
D. count on
答案:D
[译文] 这是你应该记住的:在得到涨工资以前不要指望它。
[解析] 本题考察四个带有on的动词词组。Hang on意思较多,有“纠缠,紧紧握住某物;坚持不放弃;坚持不懈;打电话时不挂断;稍待等待一会儿时间”;draw on穿上,戴上(靴子, 手套等);吸收,利用;凭,靠;动用;向……支取;逗引(某人)开口说话;招来,招致;接近,靠近;wait on满足……的需要;服侍;count on表示“依赖,依靠”,符合上下文。
17. The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated _____ instead of mechanically.
A. artificially
B. automatically
C. manually
D. synthetically
答案:C
[译文] 船的发电机坏了,所以需要手动操作水泵而不能机械操作。
[解析] 这也更加要求我们要“温故而知新”。因为instead of后面是mechanically(机械地),所以我们只要找到它的反义词就行了,答案C)manually手动符合题义。
18. The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.
A. loosen
B. remove
C. relieve
D. dismiss
答案:A
[译文] 这个小女孩非常害怕,她一直抓着我的胳膊不放。
[解析] 本题有两个选项容易混淆:A)loosen 和C)relieve.Relieve的意思是“减缓导致…的减轻或缓和;免于痛苦,脱离痛苦,焦虑或者苦恼;救济,为……提供帮助或援助”,不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放开手”。
19. He never arrives on time and my _____ is that he feels the meetings are useless.
A. preference
B. conference
C. inference
D. reference
答案:C
[译文] 他从没有准时到会,所以我的判断是他认为会议没有用。
[解析] 本题的四个选项都有"ence"的后缀把一个动词变为名词,所以我们只要背了它们的动词词根的意思,这四个词的意思就容易找出来了。Preference表示“喜欢,喜好”;conference的意思是“会议,大会”;reference表示“参考,指出”;而inference表示“推断,推论”,符合题义。
20. Mrs. Smith was so _____ about everything that no servants could please her.
A. specific
B. special
C. precise
D. particular
答案:D
[译文] Smith夫人对于所有事情都很挑剔,所以没有一个仆人能让她高兴。
[解析] Be particular about sth.表示“对……挑剔,吹毛求疵”。因为大纲中虽然列出了4200个词,但在考试中能考的就1800个左右,而这些词在前一些年出现的考点大部分都有所体现,只是这次把这四个词放在一起来考察我们,而下次把另外的四个词放在一起。
