选择题:
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
解析 考查get动词短语。句意:(经历过)那件事以后,他知道只要他尽自己所能就能处理任何紧急情况。to the best of尽……所能;就……的限度。get away with携……潜逃;(做了坏事)逍遥法外;get on with进展;相处;get through通过;完成;get across过(马路、桥等);使(人)了解自己的意思。由句意可知,C项为最佳选项。
答案 C
5.It’s the sort of work that ______ a high level of concentration.
A.calls for B.makes up
C.lies on D.stands for
解析 考查短语动词辨析。call for需要,需求;make up编(故事、借口等);lie in位于,在于;stand for代表。根据句意,A项符合。
答案 A
6.I tried phoning her office,but I couldn’t______.
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
7.It is difficult to______one twin from the other.They almost don’t ______from each other.
A.differ; distinguish B.distinguish;different
C.distinguish;differ D.tell;different
解析 distinguish表示“区分,辨别”,常构成distinguish A from B,而differ from each other意为“有区别,不同于”,相当于be different from each other。
答案 C
8.—Mum,it is nice weather.I want to skate this afternoon.
—Don’t you think the ice on the lake is too thin to ______ your weight?
A.carry B.bear
C.catch D.take

答案 B
9.Hardly could he______this amount of work in such a short time.
A.get through B.get off
C.get into D.get down
解析 考查动词短语辨析。句意:在这么短的时间内他几乎完不成这么多工作。get through有完成之意,符合句意。get off下车;get into进入,陷入;get down“下车,吞下,写下”;都与句意不搭配。
答案 A

答案 B
12.—Mum,we’ve got to be ______ and buy only what we need.
—Oh,I’m glad to hear that.
A.practical B.content

13.Letterboxes are much more______in the UK than in the US,where most people have a mailbox instead.
A.common B.normal
C.ordinary D.usual
解析 考查同义词辨析。句意:信箱在英国比在美国更常用,在美国大多数人都有一个邮箱。common指“为许多人或事物所共同具有的,因而常见”;ordinary指“由于与一般事物的性质或标准相同,因而显得平常,无奇特之处,反义词为special”; usual指“在某一地方或某一时间内所常见的,往往指常用的东西,或常发生的事情,反义词为unusual”;normal同regular一样,意为“正常的,正规的,标准的”。
