单项填空

　　1.It never occurred to me ______ you could succeed in persuading him to change his mind.

　　A.which　　　　　　　　　　　 B.what

　　C.that D.if

　　解析 考查固定句型。It occurs/occurred to sb.that...是固定句型，意思是：某人突然想起……，其中that引导主语从句，故选C项。

　　答案 C

　　2.When you get the paper back，pay special attention to what ______.

　　A.have marked B.have been marked

　　C.had marked D.had been marked

　　解析 句意：当你拿回试卷时须特别注意已经标注过的部分。本题考查动词的时态，该句强调过去已经修改过的东西并强调对现在的影响，用现在完成时，又因其主语为what，所以用被动语态。故用现在完成时的被动语态。

　　答案 B

　　3.A teacher should make his lessons simple enough for the students to ______.

　　A.take off B.take up

　　C.take in D.take down

　　解析 考查词组辨析。句意：老师应该使他的课足够简单到让学生理解。take off起飞，成功;take up从事;take in吸收;take down记下。

　　答案 C

　　4.When she visited the children’s home，it ______her that she could adopt a homeless child.

　　A.ran into B.happened to

　　C.occurred to D.was occurred to

　　解析 考查动词短语辨析。此处为句型It occurs to sb.that...某人突然想起……。A项表示“偶然感到”，不合句意。happen to sb.表示“某事发生在某人身上”，不合语境，故排除B项;occur不用于被动语态，故D项被排除。

　　答案 C

　　5.The ______ cause of his illness was extreme drinking，but the real cause was his deep sadness on his wife’s death.

　　A.major B.apparent

　　C.clear D.serious

　　解析 句意：他的病表面上是因为过度饮酒，真实的原因是他妻子的去世使他过度悲伤。故选apparent“表面上的”。major意为“主要的”;clear意为“清楚的”;serious意为“严肃的，认真的”。

　　答案 B

　　6.There’s a camping shop in town that has tents for ______ at $10 a week.

　　A.hire B.sale

　　C.employ D.repair

　　解析 句意：镇上有一家宿营设备商店出租帐篷，价格一周10美元。根据“$10 a week”可知这是租用，不是sale出售;employ指“雇用”，跟人作宾语。

　　答案 A

　　7.The bell rang，______ that class was over.

　　C.indicated D.having indicating

　　解析 indicate“表示，表明”。句意：铃响了，表示下课了。

　　答案 A

　　12.With a nod of his head，he ______ me where I should sit.

　　A.indicated to B.indicated that

　　C.indicate to D.indicate that

　　解析 indicate that后跟从句，不合题意。indicate to此处为“向某人暗示，向某人表明”。时态应用过去时或一般现在时，但C项没用单数。

　　答案 A

　　13.It’s believed that parks are to the city______lungs are to the body.

　　A.what B.like

　　C.that D.which

　　A.is this the first time you are lying

　　B.this is the first time you have lied

　　D.is this the first time you have lied

　　解析 考查倒装结构。否定词by no means“决不”放在句首，主句需用部分倒装。this is the first time+主语+现在完成时，为固定结构，故选D项。

　　答案 D

　　15.It suddenly ______ to the detective that the millionaire was probably murdered by his own daughter.

　　A.happened B.occurred
