请从以下四个选项中选出最符合题目意思的一个选项：
It is only when you nearly lose someone _____ fully conscious of how much you value him. A. do you becomeB. then you becomeC. that you becomeD. have you become
参考答案：C. that you become
解析：这题相对来说比较简单，检测的是强调句型句It is .....that。不过，这里有一个干扰项，即是所强调的时间状语部分前有一个副词only。这很容易让人以为有only的话，就要有一个倒装句式，而选项就有可能是A。不过，在强调句里，only when这个状语从句只是在形式上做表语，因此，整个句子的顺序回变回了正常情况了。
请从以下四个选项中找出符合句子意思的一个选项：
Most tiny houses are __________ for middle-class and wealthy families who made a conscious decision to “build better, not bigger”. A. addressedB. reconciled C. tailored D. weighed
参考译文：C. tailored
解析：从题目的意思来看，tiny house的建筑理念是“高级的住宅，不大的房子”，而面向的对象是中产阶段(middle-class)和富裕家族(wealthy family)。这让房子有精准的建造定位以及精准目标群体。而这四个选项里，只要tailor(量身订制)能体现上述的情况。Weigh的意思是“认真考虑;权衡;斟酌”，即If you weigh the facts about a situation, you consider them very carefully before you make a decision, especially by comparing the various facts involved. 例如：He is weighing the possibility of filing criminal charges against the doctor./他正在仔细考虑对那个医生提起刑事诉讼的可能性。Address，用作动词时的意思是“对付;处理;设法了解并解决”，即If you address a problem or task or if you address yourself to it, you try to understand it or deal with it. 例如：Mr King sought to address those fears when he spoke at the meeting./金先生在会上讲话时试图消除那些恐惧。Reconcile一词在作动词时，有一个意思是“顺从;接受;将就”，即If you reconcile yourself to an unpleasant situation, you accept it, although it does not make you happy to do so. 例如：She had reconciled herself to never seeing him again. /她说服了自己永远不再和他见面。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合句子意思的一个选项：
He always takes ____ at the slightest criticism. A. annoyanceB. irritationC. offenceD. resentment
参考答案：b.
解析：这一题其实是一个take+名词方式，不过，可以理解成一个动作的表述，即将四个选项变成四个动词。从句子意思的角度，他会对即便是最轻微的批评做出反应。由于有always和slightest，从语义的角度来理解，他的这种反应是很强烈的，那么，这四个名词里，“生气”或“恼火”的程度最高的，自然就是选项“C. irritation”，即Irritation is a feeling of annoyance, especially when something is happening that you cannot easily stop or control. 例如：For the first time Leonard felt irritation at her methods./伦纳德这还是头一次对她的方法感到恼怒。同时，在后接介词 at 的词，也只有irritation。不过，resentmetn也有类似“愤慨”和“憎恨”的意思，即Resentment is bitterness and anger that someone feels about something. 不过，以名词形式出现时，更多地还是用express或cause来引导，例如：She expressed resentment at being interviewed by a social worker./她表达了对被一位社工采访的愤恨。But the problems of inflation and unemployment still cause a lot of resentment./但是通货膨胀和失业问题仍然激起了很多人的怨恨。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合句子要求的选项：
Without facts, one cannot form a worthwhile opinion, for he needs to have factual knowledge __________ his thinking. A. to base on whichB. which to be based onC. upon which to base D. which to base upon
参考答案：C. upon which to base
解析：这一题挺有挑战性的。首先，从四个选项来分析，主要是一个定语从句的句子结构，可以理解为his thinking based on/upon factual knowledge的句式。不过，问题在于，当which指代factual knowledge时，在定语从句里，which是做什么成份呢?主语，还是宾语?而且base 是主动语态，还是被主语态?当我们定下这个定语的从句的时候，我们可以确认的是，which指代的是factual knowledge，而his thinking 则是base on/upon which。不过，很显然，这个定语从句是没有谓语的，因为这里用了一个特别的句型，即“紧缩定语从句“——当引导定语从句的关系代词用作介词的宾语时，有时可用“介词+关系代词+不定式”的结构来简化定语从句。也就是说，这一句，upon + which + to base his thinking就用到了这个句型。
