Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.(2012·陕西改编)He had to pause from time to time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, because the airconditioning system broke ________.
答案:down 本题考查动词短语的用法。句意:他不得不不时的停下来擦额头上的汗,因为空调坏了。break down损坏;发生故障;失败。
2.(2010·江苏改编)Thousands of foreigners ________(attract) to the Shanghai World Expo the day it opened.
答案:were attracted 句意:在上海世博会开幕的当天,数以千计的外国人被吸引过来。
3.(2011·浙江改编)Even the best writers sometimes find themselves ________(lose) for words.
答案:lost 考查非谓语动词。句意:即便是最优秀的作家有时也会难以找到合适的词汇表达。“find oneself+done”表示“感到自己……”,由于空格处和themselves有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以选用过去分词作宾语补足语。
4.“Chinese Dama”, mainly ________(consist) of married woman between the age 40~60,beat Wall Street tycoons(大亨) in gold buying in 2013.
答案:consisting 句意:由40岁到60岁的已婚妇女组成的“中国大妈”在2013年购买黄金行动中打败了华尔街大亨。
5.It's beyond our prehension that Jim, who tops the class in English, ________ have difficulty translating such a simple sentence.
答案:should 考查情态动词。句意:我们不可理解的是Jim,英语最好的学生,竟然翻译这么简单的句子都有困难。should在此处的意思是“竟然”。
6.In the job interviews,job applicants often find themselves ________ unexpected questions, some very difficult to answer.
答案:asked 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,ask和themselves是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用asked作find的宾语补足语。
7.I missed ________ meeting. Would you please give me ________ brief description about it?
答案:the; a 考查冠词。句意:我错过了会议。你能给我简要描述一下吗?第一空,表示双方都知道的那次会议,表特指概念,因此应用定冠词the;第二空,give sb.a(brief) description about/of sth.意为“向某人(简要)描述某事”,为固定短语,因此应用不定冠词a。
8.________(attract) more tourists,travel agencies from both China and the DPRK have developed a package of new products.
答案:To attract 考查非谓语动词。句意:为了吸引更多的游客,中国和朝鲜的旅行社已经推出了一系列的新产品。根据句意可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语。
9.________(divide) into six groups, the students began to discuss the topic left over last time.
答案:Divided 考查非谓语动词。句意:学生被分为六个组之后就开始讨论上次留下的话题了。divide与其逻辑主语the students之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故用divide的过去分词形式。
10.Only teachers are permitted to enter the readingroom, that is to say, the readingroom is only ________(access) to teachers.
答案:accessible 句意:只有老师被允许进入阅览室,也就是说,阅览室是专供老师们用的。be accessible to sb.对于某人来说可以进入或使用的。
