1.—Have you ______?
—No.I had the wrong number.
A.got in
B.got away
C.got off
D.got through
解析 考查动词短语的区别。get in“插话，收割”;get away“离开;走开”;get off“下车”;get through“接通电话，完成，到达，通过”，由此可知该题的答案为D项，意思是“你打通电话了吗?”
答案 D
2.So far nobody has claimed the money______in the library.
A.discovered B.to be discovered
C.discovering D.having discovered
解析 考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：迄今为止，没有人认领在图书馆里发现的钱。因discover与money之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语。
答案 A
3.There were many talented actors out there just waiting______.
A.to discover B.to be discovered
C.discovered D.being discovered
解析 考查不定式的被动式作目的状语。解答这类题时，一定要弄清非谓语动词和主语之间的逻辑关系。句意：在外面有许多有才华的演员等着被发现。to be discovered为不定式短语作目的状语。discover与其逻辑主语actors之间为动宾关系，且discover动作是将要发生，故用动词不定式的被动式。
答案 B
4.After that，he knew he could______any emergency by doing what he could to the best of his ability.
A.get away with B.get on with
C.get through D.get across

A.get along B.get on
C.get to D.get through
解析 考查动词词组辨析。get along“相处融洽，进展”;get on“继续，进行，上车”;get to“到达，开始”;get through“穿过，通过，读完，打通(电话)”。根据句意：我试着给她办公室打电话，但是没有打通。因此只有get through符合句意。
答案 D
