答案与解析:

1.d

尽管教授本人很守时,但对学生听课迟到已经很习惯了。本题测试固定词组搭配。本题主语为“be used to+名词或动名词”结构,表 示“很习惯于……”。故d项正确。students’放在being前作逻辑主语。

2.a 这个疯子被关进墙上装上衬垫的病房以免伤了他自己。本题测试“lest”用法。用lest连接的句子谓语部分用should加原形动词,should可省略,故a正确。

3.d

如果自来水像某些人想象的那么危险,那么我们中更多的人将得病。比较级的修饰词用法。a lot修饰比较级时应置前,故选d。

4.b

汽车中途毫无缘由地抛锚了。本题测试动词短语辨析。四个词组的意思分别为:a.broke off折断,突然停止讲;b.broke down抛锚,坏了;c.broke up拆散,驱散(人群);d.broke out(瘟疫,疾病,战争等)爆发。

5.b

这些新来者发现,要在这个新国家完全适应这种气候以永久安家是不可能的。本题测试动词短语的习惯搭配。“adapt eneself to”构成固定词组,表示“ 使某人适应(新的环境,气候,国土等)”,符合句意。

6.a

简从来不敢想象有机会被很快送往国外。本题测试名词性短语作介词宾语。因句中“dream of”的“of”为介词,所以 “there is a chance”应使用动名词结构,故a正确。

7.d

单亲家庭的孩子经常承担一些义务,而这些义务原本由他的父亲或母亲 履行的。本题测试动词短语辨异。四个选项的意思分别为:a.take off“拿去,取消,脱(衣,帽等),(飞机等)起飞,离开”;b.take after“(面貌,性格)像,模仿”;c.take in“接受,领会,理解,欺骗”;d.take on“呈现,雇佣,承担”。

8.c

我倒希望你暂时先别就此事发表意见。本题测试“would rather”的用法。句中的“would rather”要求从句中使用过去式,故c正确。

9.a

考虑到所有问题,原来的旅游将不得不取消。本题测试分词的独立结构。因为句中空格后没有宾语,consider为及物动词,可先排除c,d两项。b项为动词原形,只能用在虚拟句中。a项为过去分词,构成独立结构,正确。

10.d

在帮助我们发现和纠正错误的过程中,批评与自我批评是非常必要的。本题测试复合介词。空格后为主谓结构的句子,且成分齐全,由各选择项观之,应为介词带宾语从句结构,连词为that,由此判定d项正确。由that引导的介词宾语只能in,but,except, besides等少数介词连用。
