Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.(2012·湖北改编)The furniture, with its modern style and bright colors, suits modern houses and their gardens, but looks out of________ in the garden of a traditional home.
答案:place 考查介词短语辨析。句意:有着现代风格的色彩鲜艳的家具适合现代的房屋和花园,但是放在传统风格的花园里看起来就格格不入。out of place不得其所的,不适当的,格格不入的。信息词but告诉我们正确选项应该表示“不合适的,格格不入的”。
2.Some school teachers complained, “Many kids haven't got any hobbies— ________ you call playing computer games a hobby.”
答案:unless 考查连词。句意:一些老师抱怨说“许多孩子没有任何爱好,除非你把打电脑游戏叫做一项爱好”。由句意可知,填unless,意为“除非,如果不”。
3.________(fill) with shame, the boy lowered his head, ready for the punishment from his dad.
答案:Filled 考查非谓语动词。句意:因为愧疚感,这个小男孩低下头等他的父亲的惩罚。be filled with充满了……,故填过去分词。
4.Little Tom, who got burned while he was setting off fireworks, ________(treat) in hospital now.
答案:is being treated 句意:小汤姆在放烟火时被烧伤了,现在正在医院救治。主句的时间状语为now,故用现在进行时的被动语态。
5.The boy made the same mistakes over ________ over again, which,of course, made his parents very angry.
答案:and 句意:那个男孩一次次犯同样的错误,这当然令他的父母很生气。over and over again反复;多次,符合句意。
6.—Was it because of the terrible weather ________ his flight was delayed?
—Not really. An old lady suffered a heart attack and they had to fly back.
答案:that 考查强调句型。题中的问句部分为强调句型的一般疑问句形式,被强调部分是“because of the terrible weather”,强调句型的一般疑问句的构成:Was/Is it+被强调部分+that/who+其他,故所填词用that。
7.—Don' t put so much ________(press) on the children. It' s harmful to their health.
—OK,I won't.
答案:pressure 考查名词词义辨析。put pressure on为固定搭配,意为“给……施加压力”。前句句意:不要给孩子们施加太多压力,这有害于他们的健康。
8.The number of people, who have access to their own cars,________ (rise) sharply in the past decade.
答案:has risen 考查主谓一致和时态。本句的主语是the number of people,所以谓语动词用单数;in the past decade表示时间从过去持续到现在,即“十年来”,因此用现在完成时。
9.There is little doubt ________ you will be able to judge truth and error if you have confidence in yourself.
答案:that doubt用作名词时,在肯定句中,其后从句常用whether引导;在否定句和疑问句中使用that引导从句。此处that无意义,也不作成分,是同位语从句的引导词。
10.They have earned lots of money, so I ________(firm) believe that the business is a success.
答案:firmly 从They have earned lots of money可知,“我”坚信(firmly believe)生意是成功的。
