单项填空
1. (2015·安徽省级示范高中名校联考)As ________ birthplace of Huaxia civilization, Xi’an is ________ city with a long history and abundant cultural relics.
A. the; a B. a; a C. /; a D. the; /
【解析】选A。考查冠词。句意: 作为华夏文明的发源地, 西安是一座拥有悠久历史和丰富的文化遗迹的城市。birthplace后面有of短语作后置定语, 且“发源地”具有唯一性, 故birthplace在本句中表特指, 用定冠词the; 第二空后的city为可数名词, 但“拥有悠久历史和丰富的文化遗迹”的城市并非只有西安, 故第二空应该表泛指, 需用不定冠词。
2. Some of the students feel it really hard to ________ Tsinghua University’s admission.
A. admit B. obtain C. accept D. succeed【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。句意: 一些学生感到被清华大学录取真的很难。admit同意; succeed in doing“成功做某事”; accept“接受”; obtain“获得”, 其宾语是物。故选B。
3. ________ is known to everybody, she is well-known for her beautiful songs.
A. It B. As C. That D. What
【解析】选B。as为关系代词, 引导一个非限制性定语从句, 指代整个主句内容。若用it, 则为: It is known to everybody that she is. . . 。
4. When she came several days later, she found that all things still ________ where she had ________ them.
A. lay; laid B. laid; laidC. lay; lain D. lying; lain
【解析】选A。考查动词辨析。句意: 几天后她回来发现所有的东西都还在她放的地方。lie—lay—lain(躺); lay—laid—laid(下蛋, 放置)。
5. ________ here yesterday, he could have seen Jackie Chan.
A. If Bob has come B. If Bob came
C. Had Bob come D. Bob should come
【解析】选C。考查虚拟语气。句意: 如果Bob昨天来这里, 他就能见到成龙了。分析句意和句子结构可知, 此处表示与过去事实相反的虚拟, 故从句应用过去完成时。在虚拟条件句中, 如果含有had, were, should等时, if可省略, 句子倒装。
6. Many people agree that never in ancient history ________ a more splendid project than the Great Wall.
A. there were B. has there been
C. there has been D. were there
【解析】选B。考查部分倒装。句意: 很多人认为长城是在古代历史上最辉煌的建筑。在从句中, 否定副词never置于句首, 所以要用部分倒装。
